The sun began to rise and Link slowly opened his eyes. He sat up and did a few quick stretches before standing up and walking over to Midna. He untied her from the stump and promptly mounted her, he pulled at the reins and they were off again. Link looked around at the sky, Hyrule was beautiful at dawn. He could see and hear all the critters and creatures waking up, there was a chorus of birdsong complimented by the chirps of cicadas, he could see squirrels darting across the undergrowth and deer sprinting through the woods, It was all very peaceful.

Soon Link had made his way to Inogo Bridge, he was just about to continue on when he heard a shout from above. 

"Say! Young one! Up top, above you!" 

Link looked up, there were towers at each end of the bridge and he had spotted a Zora standing on the one next to him. The Zora crouched down and then leaped off the tower landing perfectly on the ground. Link scolded himself for blushing -- the Zora was more than hot. He was tall and muscular, with smooth red skin and shiny golden eyes, his hair was different from most Zora, Resembling what looked like a miniature hammerhead shark. 

"Pardon for the entrance, but you're a Hylian aren't you?"

The prince opened out his arms wide and grinned. Link blushed even more, his smile was so sweet and pretty, his teeth gleaming even in the heavy rain.

"I was hoping perhaps you would have a moment to talk..."

Link's eyes darted to the side, he felt nervous next to this huge admittedly sexy Zora. Mustering all of his confidence, he turned to face him,

"What is it you need?" Link signed.

"Well, hylian. Before we start please allow me to introduce myself, I am Prince Sidon! The Zora Prince!! 

Sidon grinned again, his teeth sparkling even in the rain,

"I was wondering if you could help me. You see, Zora's Domain is in grave danger. Vah Ruta, our divine beast, has been spewing out water for months now. All of this is causing heavy downpour, as you can see. But that's not the worst of our problems, most of this rain fortunately makes it's way to the east lake reserve where a dam holds in all the rain. But even that can't hold in all the water, I believe that it won't be long until the reserve bursts, and lays Hyrule to waste with a massive flood. So please," 

Sidon knelt down and looked up at link,

"Come with me to Zora's Domain and help me save Hyrule!"

Link remembered what Impa had told him back at Kakariko, she had asked him to free the "Four Divine Beasts" which had led him to here, and it seemed to match what Sidon was saying, 

"Okay, I'll help, what do you want me to do?"

Sidon smiled yet again, 

"Wonderful! You're truly amazing!! First, I think we should probably head to my Father, King Dorephan. Once there, we can discuss the rest. The Domain is only a mile or so from here, but please be careful. The path up ahead is infested by monsters, and some attack with electricity!! Anyway, I'll see you there." 

Sidon turned away and was about to leap into the river Inogo Bridge went over, when he stopped and faced Link again. 

"I say young hylian, I don't think you've told me your name, may I know what it is?"

"Link"

"Oh, what a nice name, I feel like I've heard that somewhere before..." 

Sidon faced the river, ran foward and took a graceful leap into the water. There was a small splash, and he was gone.
