Royal Rebel 3 ~ Revali X Reader

Chapter 5: These Temple Walls

I listened to the silence of the Temple. Having heard it's power is strongest nearest to the event, I decided it best for me to come alone to regain my hope. Maybe it would be enough for me to find myself, and for my kingdom.

A noise. Perhaps the scrape of a blade leaving it's scabbard. I didn't move, didn't falter. Your foes can sense fear, you know.

I felt the presence of another being. And it wasn't the feeling of maybe a boar or a rabbit. This presence was coming for me. Still, I remained quiet and kept my mind focused and dedicated on my purpose for being at the Temple. Hoping it would help.

"Urbosa." You rushed down the stairs to see the Chief in her proper stance, completely focused on steering. "We need to stop at the Plateau. The Yiga Army is scattered across it." She turned back to look at you, and you felt Naboris slowing. "If we don't take action, they may try to rush Hyrule Field and the Castle."

"I'll bring us to the edge. Once we reach, all of you head down there. Zelda and I will be behind you." Only then did you notice your niece sat down next to the giant control panel in the center, and you then nodded and ran to get everyone else down from the top.

"Alright. Are we ready to go?" Revali asked, looking behind himself at the group. Everyone nodded, and he lowered himself so you could get on his back. "_____ and I will fly above and figure out how to herd them all together. Remember the codes."

"Right. Let's go!" Rhoam and the other two champions, along with Janelle and the guards right behind them. You and Revali flew above the Plateau to get a better view, and you were fast to come up with a plan.

"If we have Rhoam and Janelle come from the East side with the champions, and the guards from the North, we can lead them away from the Temple easily." You pointed out at all the red and black dots scattered below, and Revali nodded as you began pushing the button.

"One glow... me, two... you... and three for Daruk and Mipha." Rhoam looked up at the group from the orb. "Six means East. She wants us to attack from the east." Rhoam held it up, and everyone nodded. "Four for the army. Seven means North. The army will attack from the North."

"We best get going. Urbosa will likely start attacking soon with Naboris." Mipha said, and the others agreed. "I'm sure those two won't be long before they come down. Unless, Revali has another plan."

"Queen Kallora." A deep, unfamiliar voice spoke out my name. Close, but likely a matter of steps below. "What a pleasant surprise." I heard swords brush against each other. I stayed in my place, unmoving and silenced. "Tomorrow morning is the Temple of Time ceremony. What brings you here so early?"

"...What does this information do for you?" I asked, still sat down, hands on my lap and head facing down towards the feet of the goddess statue. I heard a slight chuckle come from behind me.

"I'm just... curious, you could say." Footsteps, up the stairs, behind me. It only took a moment before I could feel metal against my neck. "Your eldest. She's nineteen, is she not...?"

"I have another plan." Your husband told you, pulling his bow from his back. "If I can start shooting bomb arrows down, we can distract them and begin the herd to the center. From there, we ambush them."

"You aim towards the middle. I'll lead some up to the snowy mountain." You aimed your own bow out, and he did the same. Both of you began shooting bomb arrows, all of which exploded upon impact with the ground.

"Champions! Move ahead!" Rhoam and the champions rushed in, and Naboris circled the Plateau, occasionally blasting at large groups of Yiga. "_____ and Revali may be up there keeping an eye on everyone. We best continue on without plans of them joining back with us for the time being!"
