Your PoV

Now with the Thunder Helm in hand, Link and I now confront lady Riju.

Speaking of which. The leader of the Gerudo meets us just outside her throne room where we plan our next action. Link hands over the thunder helm to Riju, whom places it on her head which seems to trigger a memory of Link's as he looks at her with a shocked expression for a moment before he looks down for a second with a solemn smile.

I place a hand on his shoulder gently to anchor him back in the current moment. He returns the gesture by placing a hand over mine and giving me an appreciative smile.

Riju: "what do you think?"

She asks referring to the helm, now on her head

Link: "you'll grow into it"
He sweat drops as the helmet slides to one side and tilts, forcing Riju to adjust it again

Riju: "anyway. If we are to appease Vah Naboris, we have to do it right. Once you are both ready, meet me in the guard station just over that way"

She points out a distant building with a high platform used as a watch tower

Riju: "remember, you will likely need bomb arrows to damage the feet enough that it won't kick as much sand in the air to cause the sand storms"

Not more than 20 minutes later, we are fully stocked up on the bomb arrows we need, we head out the side gates to the direction Riju pointed us in

Link: "do.. um, do you think there will be another one of those malice monsters there this time or could it be safe?"

"..I hope not"
I say quietly gently massaging the burn mark left from the previous encounter with one of Ganon's blight creatures. If that was water, what could this be? Earth? Maybe fire since it's so hot? Or that could be the volcanic one.. that is assuming each of them do in fact use a different element as a key to solving puzzles to get to the terminals

Link: "whatever is there, I'm sure this time we will get it. I mean last time we didn't know what to expect. Now we have some idea so now we can get ready, y'know"

Me and Link reach the guard station and check inside, a gerudo soldier informs us that Riju is up on the look out tower so we climb to her so we can get the plan in order.

Riju: "so here is my plan. This helm hasn't been used by the chief of the gerudo to protect against storms for generations. Using this we can be safe to get close to Devine Beast Vah Naboris without being struck by it's lightning attacks."

Link: "how do we stop it moving? Is that where the bomb arrows come in?"

"We blow up its legs so it can't move and we get inside and appease the beast while setting the champion's spirit free.. job done?"

Riju: "close. It absorbs energy from the ground, it's feet are essential to allowing it to charge the lightning. If we do damage the feet enough. It will have to stop moving as it wouldn't be able to absorb much more energy to attack"

"Then we board and do the things"

Riju: "exactly"

Link: "and how do we keep up with it.. I mean we can shoot bomb arrows from quite a bit far but not that far"

Riju: "sand seal surfing. Grab a shield, place it on the ground then stand on it with your feet firm in place.  Finally you allow a sand seal to pull you through the sand while you stay standing on the shield"

"So just jet ski on the sand using seals"

Both: "what's a jet ski?"

"An earth thing... well more a wate- never mind.. let's just get this done"

And so we did.. after almost crashing several times and many missed shots, the Camel Beast finally crouches down to its knees to refill its energy through there instead of the feet. But as it doesn't sound good that it is doing that, it got low enough that me and Link could enter inside of it

What could await us? What could happen? Who knows?
