Her Love is Poison, but My Love is Pure

Goron City

Urbosa's funeral was something beautiful, yet somber in a myriad of ways. The attendants would surround her coffin, wishing her kindness and happiness in the next life. They would then give her a gift, placing it beside the casket.

Link gave her a Moonlight Scimitar, since he couldn't find her Scimitar of the Seven. Mipha gave her a necklace, made from old Zora scales and the finest Sapphires found in Zora's Domain. Daruk gave her a small diamond trinket in the shape of her and all the other Champions hugging, but she was in the center; crafted by the best chiseler in the Eldin region. Revali gave her his scarf, knowing that it was a very treasured thing to him, and tried to show how much she means to him and all of the others.

Lastly, there was Zelda. Her face was covered in tears, and she hadn't talked to anyone else all day. She placed a gentle kiss on the coffin, and whispered a whole conversation before putting her gift right next to her resting place.

The gift was the Thunder Helm, with a note attached to it. When everyone realized what she had put down, the area was even more silent than before.

The new Gerudo Chief approached her. "Excuse me young princess, may I ask you where you got that memoir?" She asked with informed curiosity.

Zelda looked up and croaked. "She gave it to me. Urbosa. As a sign of our... friendship. I gave it back to her because she deserves it more." The princess twiddled her thumbs shyly. She still didn't seem in the mood to speak to anyone, nonetheless while an entire funeral watched her.

"That is a very prized possession of the Gerudo. It is very dear to our people," the Chief explained, still not getting through to Zelda.

"Oh, but Urbosa wasn't?" Zelda yelled, then stormed off away from Gerudo Town. After that, the funeral was over, and everyone said their final goodbyes before getting back to their day, and some concern for the princess' well-being.

The Boss of Goron City sat in his disheveled throne, deep in thought. The Goron Champion was going to set out on another journey today, and he'd need to get everything together for when he goes out.

Daruk was heartbroken. Seeing all of his friends like that... it hurt him so much. Though what hurt him the most, is that everything was just so depressing and hollow without Urbosa. She brought the life into everything, but now that beast had taken her away.

Daruk cared deeply for everyone, and he always tried to keep a smile on his face no matter the situation. The only problem was that now, he was even afraid to smile. Gannon's wrath could get him at any minute, so he prepared himself for the worst. Still, the Goron couldn't resist his fear.

He set off on his journey into the nowhere, anywhere, just to run away from Ganon, and to stay away from Goron City, to keep them away from danger.

"Champion Daruk! Please take this!" A young female Goron handed the Champion a small bouquet of flowers, which he believed were called Silent Princesses, named for Zelda as her favorite flower.

"My name's Solidam... my daddy said to give you these because your friend liked them," she beamed up at the bigger Goron, her cheeks forming a pinkish shade. It was moments like these that Daruk wished he  had children himself.

"Thank you, Solidam. Have a great day!" He waved happily at the little girl who skipped back to her family, and turned around with the bouquet clutched in his hands. He decided he would give these to Zelda to help her feel better, since he knew she was the person most affected by Urbosa's passing.

He made his way to Hyrule Castle as quickly as possible, making sure to get away from Goron City before he put them in any more danger than they had already been through.

On his way over to the castle, he ran into Mipha, Link, and Revali who were talking about their strategies to take down Ganon and tactics to use in combat. Link carried a large weapon in its sheath, which came out handy since Daruk had forgotten a weapon.

"Oh hey, Daruk," they all greeted in unison, but more of a broken chorus, waving their hands welcomingly. Daruk chuckled and waved back at their odd behavior, but nonetheless, he was just as weird as them.

His first smile since last week. Even when he was down in the dumps, those three would always be there to brighten up his day.

"So where are you all headed?" Daruk asked, putting a hand through his hair.

"We're headed to the castle to get away from our hometowns. We felt like after what happened to Urbosa, we better be cautious about what might happen to the innocent bystanders," Mipha explained serenely. She always had a calm tone of voice.

"Well, I guess we're all on the same track!" exclaimed Daruk. Link giggled, and the others nodded humorously.

They all headed towards their destination together.
