Chapter 5: A Rocky Start

They all landed at different places, but more or less made it to the same area. Everyone looked pretty okay given the fact that they had just been taught to fly. Once they all regrouped, they made their way to the edge of the plateau. The historical landmass was like a mesa, with steep vertical cliffs on all sides that made it impossible to access from the ground, which was well over a hundred feet below them.

The Kingdom of Hyrule long ago had built castle walls around the entirety of the plateau cliffs to ensure structural integrity and protect the sacred plateau from monster attacks coming from other areas of Hyrule. These walls partially extended the cliff edges, but did not have any sort of mechanism to prevent anyone already on the cliff to jump off. The mesa had been made accessible through a hill that had been created when landscapers had dug into the earth. However, during the Calamity, the entryway through the reinforced stone wall had become plugged up with debris, and a small lake had formed in the excavated depression, sealing off the Great Plateau from any visitors from the ground.

This was why Jordan wanted to leave the area as soon as possible. He knew that there was no one on the plateau, and considering that (he assumed) none of them had supreme survival skills, they would have had much more trouble all on their own. He was also quite confident that whoever had loaded those chests in the Shrine of Resurrection had intentionally provided them with five paragliders so that they had an accessible way to leave. If that was the case, it would be pointless not to use them.

Together, their group jumped on their paragliders again to fly down to what had once been the Kingdom of Hyrule. Just like the Great Plateau, the lands around them were very green, and lush with life. Trees and long wild grasses grew in every direction, punctuated every once in a while by the stone ruins of a house or building destroyed during the Calamity. They began trekking east along what appeared to be a well-worn route towards the two tall mountain peaks he had pointed towards earlier. As they started to walk, a conversation began.

"So now where are we? Now that we are off the plateau, what is the geography like?" Olivia asked as she peered at their surroundings. It was a cool day, with Jordan guessing that it was probably 75 degrees fahrenheit, and there was a light breeze blowing through the area, making the grass around them wave lightly.

"We are currently in Central Hyrule right now. The climate is warm like this most of the time." he explained. Amber shook her head like he was crazy.

"You call this 'warm'?! I'm feeling a little cold out here, I almost have shivers!" she remarked, and that's when he realized that her arms weren't crossed because she was mad. She was just feeling chilly. Jordan just laughed as the others gave her funny looks.

"You Burmese people don't know what cold looks like." he told her jokingly, "I know the tropics have conditioned you to accept 95 degrees to be a good temperature, but this climate is what the rest of us consider to be a good temperature." Jordan had grown up in Myanmar, but Amber was actually from the country. Her body was only used to the heat of the tropics, and she had never traveled to any other countries besides neighboring Thailand, which had a similar climate. Now that she was here, in what appeared to be a possibly more temperate climate, she wasn't used to the cooler temperatures.

As they continued walking, something else popped into his head, "Oh, guys there is something that I need to ask of you."

He saw all of their heads turn towards him without question.

"I'm just asking if you guys see anything. Some monster parts, or some food, please collect it and store it in your expanded inventories, okay?"

"Why do we need to do that?"
