Sidon ran across the desert, trailing Teba. Once they reached Gerudo Canyon Stable, they parted ways; Teba flying over Gerudo Highlands while Sidon continued on to the end of Regencia River, diving under the water. His pace quickened with the current, swimming under the hinox that slept atop the land bridge.
He leaped over the smaller bridges, racing through the water to Zora's Domain. He climbed a waterfall, then jumped onto the main pavilion of his home. Sidon took the stairs leading to King Dorephan's throne four at a time.
"Father!" He called before he even entered the room. "Father, the princess needs our help!"
"What is it that she needs?" Dorephan asked in his big, low tone.
Sidon told him everything. "We'll need every warrior we can muster."
"Mmmmm," he hummed in thought. Dorephan sighed. "Very well. The soldiers are yours to command."
"Thank you, Father!" Sidon said. He rushed to the attention bell at the back of the throne room, ringing it loud. It didn't take long before all units stood before him, awaiting orders.

Teba landed on one of the flight pads, then rushed into the village. He climbed the stairs, rounding the huge rock formation Vah Medoh was perched upon. Finally, he reached the highest and last room in the village.
"Chief Kaneli," Teba huffed around gulps of air. Flying all the way here and so fast took a lot.
"What is it Teba?" the old Rito asked.
"Princess Zelda is in need of our help." He proceeded to tell him the most important parts of the story.
"Another world?"
Teba nodded. "We need to free those unfairly imprisoned and tortured."
"I see," Kaneli muttered as he slowly rocked his chair. "Scrounge up any willing archer you can. We must aid in this good-willed mission."
"Thank you, Chief Kaneli." With that, Teba took to the skies, sounding the signal to round up all forces.

Riju floated through Gerudo Town, summoning everyone to an assembly by the long staircase. Every woman here was trained in combat in some point of their life, as was customary to their culture. They had a choice to stay with the practice, or lead a different life, but after their graduation from the class, each vai took an oath. They pledged to fight and protect whenever called upon by their Chieftain. Now Riju was using that power to help Zelda.
Once everyone stood gathered in a big clump on the stairs, Riju began the speech that had been running through her head.
"Vasaaq, my people! Princess Zelda herself requested our help with freeing innocents from the evil clutches of a voe named Poe Jenkins. He is now dead, but his work still thrives. It will take all of us to unite with the other races of Hyrule, and to travel to his world and take down the torture and pain he created. Now, who's with me?"
The crowd erupted in cheers and proud hollers. Riju signaled for the weapons to be distributed to every available vai. The women lined up to receive their equipment and special Gerudo armor.
"You are becoming more like your mother every day," Buliara said to Riju. She beamed up at her personal guard.
