Through the desert you walked, with a guard to your left, one to your right and one behind you. Rhoam would’ve wanted for you to have one in front of you, but you kind of needed to be the leader here.

The Town was in sight, but you had to go to your other destination, so you ‘accidently’ started to lead them into a sandstorm. They were protesting at your idea, but you said it may have been for the best. So they followed and respected the wishes of their Queen.

Once getting them far enough into the sandstorm, you made sure to get nice and lost. They were calling for you, but you only continued towards the Yiga Clan. Once you were right outside, you were surrounded by foot soldiers, so you allowed the usual to happen an let them capture you.

“Master Kohga! We’ve captured the queen!” Since this was a batch of newer foot soldiers, they had no idea how many times you’ve been ‘caught’ before. Kohga stood from his chair and looked you over, making you realize this was one of the first times he’s seen you. Which made him suspicious.

“Take her to Astor.” Sooga cut in, walking up behind Kohga. You let out a breath of relief and nodded to them both as they took you downstairs, leaving Kohga to ask Sooga some questions about the matter.

“Astor.” The footsoldiers placed you in the room and left, and Astor waited until he couldn’t hear footsteps anymore before speaking to you.

“You’re late.” He smiled, leaning back in his chair. You set your stuff down and walked towards him. “I’ve been waiting for you all morning. Wonder what we’re going to have to do about it.” You stopped just in front of his chair, and he reached up for you.

“Astor,” A foot soldier came in, stopping the scene in its tracks. “We have a few hylian guards, what shall we do with them?” He asked, and Astor stood up and grabbed your wrist, pulling a dagger out of his pocket.

“Just lock them up until Master Kohga gives further orders. I have to…” He held the knife to your neck and you hissed a bit with the cold sharpness of the blade. “…take care of the queen.” The soldier nodded and darted off, and Astor put the knife down before turning you around. “So where were we?”

“Well, you said you must take care of the queen, so,” You sat down on the couch, laying on your side. “Why don’t you, Astor?” He walked over and looked down at you, smiling a bit. He leaned over and kissed you deeply, before pulling away after a few seconds and walking back to his chair.

“So you had hylian guards with you?” He asked, and you nodded and sat up more than how you had been. “How many, exactly, is a few?”

“Three. Rhoam doesn’t want me going out unsupervised anymore, so this is his solution.” You explained, and he nodded and picked up his orb. “Just tell them to do that memory wipe and when I take them back to the town I’ll just say that the storm got really bad, and that I was the only one who made it through to the Kara Kara Bazaar to get help for them.”

“Very well then.” He shrugged as you laid back down, watching as you got comfortable. “You look like you had a long walk. Maybe you should rest.”

“Wow, what a great idea. Why didn’t I think of that?” You mocked, noting the fact you had already taken your shoes off and laid down. “Goodnight, Astor.” You turned to your side and tried to sleep, but the sound and vibe his orb was giving off prevented you from doing that. “Can you turn that off?”

“Can I turn it off?” He repeated before he started laughing. “I can’t turn it off, my dear. It’s a power source, for me to deactivate it would be for me to disregard all of my hard work through my entire life.” He set it down and walked over to sit by you, and you grabbed his hand as he sat down. “I could try and relax you another way.”

“Can’t you move the orb?” You asked, and he shook his head. “Why does it have to be in this room?”

“This is my quarters, so it must stay here so it’s flow of power can stay consistent until it’s ready. Now, you on the other hand darling, can be moved.” He carefully picked you up and left the room, and almost immediately after he took you out, you started to feel incredibly drowsy. “See, I told you that you were tired.”

“I am not as tired as you think,” You told him groggily, and he laughed as he entered the new room he wanted you in. He laid you down on a giant bed, and as soon as you were met with the blanket and pillow, you were completely out.
