The Collapse (AU) (TOTW)

Gerudo Town

I've been traveling for months now. I've made my way through Kakariko Village, Rito Village, and Zora's Domain. I've decided to avoid Goron City for now but I'm on the way to Gerudo Town. I've almost made it there, I just past the last stable on my way there and my horse couldn't come along. I have a couple more hours until I reach the town. Although I'm nervous because men are not allowed within the Gerudo Town. I need to get some clothes to disguise myself, and I've heard rumors about them up for purchase in Kara Kara Bazaar. For now I need to focus and conserve my water intake.

It's been a while now and I'm in sight of the Bazaar. I see some Gerudo guards walking around the Bazaar and I see some sandstorms around the giant chasm. After a couple more minutes, I make it to the Kara Kara Bazaar and buy some Gourmet Meat to offer me some salvation. I ask around and find out that someone sells feminine clothes at noon atop the General Store. I waited by the campfire and slept til noon, then I climbed to the top and met a man dressed as a woman named "Vilia". I quickly purchased the outfit for 600 rupees after flattering him a bit. I fooled all the Gerudo women at the Bazaar, so I knew I'd be able to go into the town. I decided to go on my way to the town, it would take me less than an hour so I decided to leave now.

About half an hour later, I met a Gerudo woman going to the Bazaar, she told me that she was looking for a lover. I wish her luck and I continued down the road to the town. After 20 more minutes, I arrived at the gates, and the guards looked slightly suspicious at first but greeted me warmly. I walked to the food shops and got some more meat. Then I went to the bar but was turned away, I talked to some of the Gerudo elders. I was introduced to the "Voe and You" class and found it pretty humorous. I was even able to find a secret club, The Gerudo Secret Club. Actually, they found out that I was a "voe". I was worried but their whole club was secret so we were at an agreement.

After an hour or so, I was finished looking through the town and I was tired. I stopped by a spa and got a nice relaxing massage. Then I headed to the inn and fell asleep on a soft, comfy bed.

When I woke in the morning, I saw a woman standing over me, she was dark with armor, she had a six-pack and had a Gerudo Claymore. She commanded me to follow her to the Royal Palace where I was faced with the Chief of the Gerudo. She asked me who I was and what my business was in Gerudo Town. I was nervous that she knew, and I was right because she did know and took me to her private quarters to talk.

"So who are you anyway?" She asked, after we made our way to her room.

"My name is Link, and I'm just a traveler. I'm trying to visit the different races cities and I needed to disguise myself to get here." I told her, I was still incredibly nervous that she would kick me out.

"Hm, well you should leave, you've already looked around and spent the night in our town. There's no need for you to stay longer, I don't trust you."

"Wait, you already want me to leave? I was planning to stay for at least a week and explore the desert!" I told her.

"You've already plenty overstayed, you "men" aren't even allowed here."

"That's not fair! I haven't even done anything bad here!" I told her, I know it was probably stupid to argue with the Chief of the Gerudo, but I really wanted to stay.

"Well you haven't done any good either, so get out of my town."

"What if I do you a favor or help you? Will I be able to win your trust?" I asked, practically begging for a way to stay.

"Hm... how about you go with Teake and the guard to eliminate the Molduga in the desert? If you can survive that and bring back the medicinal materials we need then maybe I'll let you stay."

I sighed in relief, "I'll do it!"

"Hmph, very well then, head over to the guards quarters and train with Teake, you shall leave tomorrow morning so train hard."

"Okay! I will!" I said, feeling triumphant.

"But don't think you're out of this yet, you'll have to do more than that to stay for a week. You're gonna become part of the Gerudo Guard for the week and do whatever is needed of you. Got that?"

"Yes." I said, nodding my head.

"Good, now get a move on, you have work to do. If you're just a traveler, then you'll need to train day and night for this quest."

I nodded my head and turned away towards the stairs.

"Wait." She said, I turned back, "I still don't trust you, so tread lightly voe." I nodded and walked down the stairs.

I was in for a treat.
