Age of Prosperity

Chapter 9

            Daruk's POV:
    After the Calamity had been defeated, I had returned to Goron City to construct something. Well not exactly, I had begun to plan it. I wasn't the greatest at planning, so I decided to get some help.

I worked with some Hylians, they were the brains, I was the brawn. They helped for free, even though I tried to insist payment. They just wouldn't listen, saying me and Yunobo had helped Hyrule, so they would help us.

It was taking a long time, but that was intended. We wanted to make it perfect, because we really wanted to honor him properly. He had saved me, the gorons, and many others.

The construction was going goodly and the plan was ready. We had found there was a huge open space, and decided to use that area for the monument.

The monument was going to be his face on the rock, near all the others'. I was about to begin carving when I was stopped by a small Hylian. "Great Daruk! There's something you need to hear!" The young Hylian said, looking quite nervous.

"Can it wait?" I asked, a bit frustrated I wasn't gonna be able to carve the monument today. I just hoped it wasn't... "No sir! It's urgent and from Impa herself!" He grew increasingly nervous every second.

"Impa herself? Who does it mention?" I ask, wondering what could be so urgent. "The princess and her knight!" The young Hylian said, looking at the paper before looking up at me. "Hmph," I grunted and started to get into a ball.

"Goodbye, Great Daruk, be careful!" The young Hylian yelled after me. "You too, little one!" I shouted back. What could be so important? I realized I hadn't grabbed the letter on my way out.

I mentally shrugged, guessing it was probably not important. I was a Champion, after all. I was allowed into the castle with virtually no checks at all.

What could Impa be planning?

Impa's POV:
After waking up and getting dressed, I realized the princess was still not here. Neither was her knight. A cheeky grin spread across my face.

I could only wonder what they were up to.

With that thought, I left to find that magic egg. I believed we had a common goal, and that with differences aside, that goal could become a reality.

I did wonder when the Champions would arrive. Probably around noon-ish, as that what was requested in the letter. They always did like to be on time, so it would be best to ready around 10.

Sometimes it was scary how punctual they could be. I always tried to be there about 10 minutes early, meanwhile, they would be there hours before.

After walking a bit, I saw the familiar egg. "Hey egg, I need to talk to you!" I called out, hurrying to get to him. The egg looked up, a mix of fear and determination in his beady little eye.

It was creepy, how did he convey that with no body expressions or facial expressions. Deciding not to dwell on that, I finally caught up. He tried to jump and run, but I caught him.

"Mr. Egg, I'm not gonna hurt you! I think we have a common goal in mind." I said, letting go of him. He long a long vrrrrrb. Which seemed to indicate 'I'm listening'. I smiled and said, "Getting Link and Zelda together!" I said, another devious grin spreading across my face.

Jabu's POV:

After returning home with Yona, I begin to think of her. "Big brother, are you alright?" Yona asked, seeing my face. She always called me big brother, because I always acted like one.

I had never had siblings, and I never knew my parents. So, I always helped everyone else, kid or adult, from a very young age. I had a lot of fun, though my heart still ached from my parents.

They had died protecting the domain from Lizafolz with shock arrows, or so I'd heard. I was too young to know them, my mother only have given birth mere deaths before her death.

I had heard they had been amazing people, and very happy together. I felt happy, proud even, of how they lived. Yet, there was always a pang of sadness of never knowing them.

Yona lived a similar life, except being royalty. There was someone else managing it all, because she was far too young. We would have to wait around 20 years for her to be ready, or more.

I had taken care of her, as directed by the elders. They were the leaders of the domain, with the head of the group being the king. They were all fair and just, and with their great ruling, and an alliance with Hyrule, we were prosperous.

The calamity did not affect us too much, other than the trouble of sending troops to help Hyrule. We Zora are skilled fighters, and that was how I met her, Princess Mipha.

I was broken out of this muse by Yona once again. "Big brother, big brother!" She was getting impatient; tugging on my fins and jumping up and down. "You're so impatient, yes I'm fine." I snapped playfully.

"Thinking about Lady Mipha?" She asked with a knowing smirk. "Thinking about Sidon?" I fired back. She immediately shut up after that, and we walked in silence.

"What do you know about mom and dad?" She asked, she did know we weren't related, but just acted like were. "Well, they were kind and patient. They were truly great rulers, you should take pride in them!" I said, with as much enthusiasm as possible.

She brightened up and yelled, "There's the domain!" Sure enough there it was, seeing it made me think of Princess Mipha.

Yona knew me too well for my own good.

Hello, I really hoped you enjoyed the latest chapter! Also all those grammar mistakes such as goodly or me and Yunobo were completely intentional!

Gorons, aren't exactly... the smartest creatures. Let's see how many love arcs I can fit into this story😂 I'm trying to not make it my full focus, but it's definitely becoming that.

Also, just now realized chapter two was called three😅 Sorry for confusion. Anyways have a great day/night!
