What is Not Seen || Sidon x Female Reader

Chapter 44: Failure to See

You and Link were now in Lookout Landing, the morning sun lifting above the horizon. You both explained to the Sages everything that was found with the geoglyphs. They were in awe. Tulin folded his wings and sighed, "So still no lead of who the fifth Sage could be?"

"No," Link replied, "but if we can find Zelda, she might be able to help us. After all, she knows Mineru better than any of us."

"So we're all going to Korok Forest then?" Yunobo scratched his head. "Count me in!"

"I'll gladly aid you in this venture." Riju nodded.

Tulin added, "Yeah! Sounds like fun!"

"What the others said," Sidon chuckled.

"Then let's go!" You were about to hit the icon on the Purah Pad to take you all to the shrine by Woodland Stable, but your father caught your hand. "Hey, what's going on?"

Your father sighed, "I'm sorry, ____. I can't let you come along."

"Dad! We've been over this! I'm completely capable of taking care of myself!"

"The Yiga Clan have complete control of that place! All of them, including Wyatt, will be doing everything in their power to kill you. I can't risk it."

Riju placed her hand on your shoulder. "Come on, Link, have some faith. Your daughter can handle those hooligans with no problem! After all, we'll be here to help too."

You gave a firm nod at her statement, but your father didn't even bat an eye. "She's staying and that's final. In fact, Sidon, I want you to stay here in case Wyatt tries to pull something while we're gone."

You grumbled and rolled your eyes. Sidon looked to you before looking back at the king. "Of course. She has my protection."

"Sidon!" You folded your arms and glared at him. He only gave you a small shrug and mouthed the word 'sorry'.

Your father bowed his head. "Thank you. Everyone else, we're heading off to Woodland stable. You two be safe."

In an instant, the king and the three Sages disappeared in a wave of blue light. Sidon glanced down at you, seeing the pout that you still held on your face. He sighed, "____, you know he's doing this to protect you."

"This is exactly what happened at the Domain!" You stomped into the research hut, trying to run away from the tears boiling inside your throat. "I can take care of myself! I'm not some helpless princess! I wasn't taught to be one!"

Sidon followed after you. "You understand his worry, do you not? We haven't been to Korok Forest since it's been infected. Who knows what lies in there?"

"Well, we had no idea what was up on the sky islands at the Domain either! You saw it for yourself! I made it up the sky islands to you two all on my own! I helped you two solve those puzzles in the temple! I fought against that stupid mucktorok and I came out just fine! I mean, for goodness sake I led my entire people for a whole week while my dad was gone on that Great Sky Island when no one knew if he was even alive! What else do I have to do? I have proven time and time again that I am capable! Even you don't believe I'm capable!"

"When did I ever say that?" Sidon scoffed. "____, you are more than capable, I know."

"Well, you sure haven't communicated that! If you really believed that, you would've let me join you and my dad at the Domain! You would have refused to have me stay here! How come Riju had more faith in me than you?!"

"Link is our king too, ____. I listen to him as a member of the land that he rules and as a Sage destined to help in any event he comes across."

You turned away. "Well, do you think that I could handle going to the forest?"
