"Shock arrows? How many?" She asked in disbelief.

"At least twenty, do you have that many? If not, Sidon told me where to find some. But it's very dangerous to go alone." He explained.

"I have.." She mumbled checking her bag. "I have eleven. It's dangerous because a Lynel sits atop that mountain. You can sneak around him, or fight him. He's very strong, Link."

"I believe we could take him." He replied. "That is, if you'll help me."

"I don't know if we can..." She chewed her lip. He stared at her a minute, admiring her. Then, he snapped out of it.

"We won't be victorious if you doubt us in the first place." He replied wisely.

"Fair enough, let's do it." She nodded, standing up from her place on the fountain. She gave one last look to Mipha, then continued on their way.

"You can shoot him with ice arrows to stun him, and I'll get close to use my sword on him." He explained on their way up the hill.

"We're coming up on him, let's get ready." She stopped him, pulling her bow out and stocking her ice arrows. He wondered what kind of bow she had. It was something out of a book, as it was incredible and ancient looking. He pulled out his sword, and from there they snuck around until it as the right time to strike. He was turned away from their spot, and in one quick motion, Link jumped out, taking a great hit on him seeing as he was unaware. Emery climbed onto one of the rocks, and shot him with the arrow dead in center as he turned around. From there, Link kept hitting him, and they continued doing that, until...

She shot straight at him, but he powered through the hit and went at Link, knocking him back. It sent his sword flying, and left him in a moment of panic. It was evident that the Lynel's health was extremely low. She knew what she had to do. In that moment, as he approached Link quickly and swiftly, she pulled out her arrow and sent him into a stun state. Then, she pulled out her royal broadsword she'd found on her endeavors and jumped, giving a final, greatly devastating hit. The Lynel let out many large cries of pain as he inevitably met his fate. Link stood up, amazed at her. He quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her back, as the Lynel collapsed. From there, he fell and the Malice was gone. They stood there a minute, amazed at what had went down in the last few minutes.

"Are you okay?" She quickly turned around to look at him. She saw an open wound on his arm. He noticed that she'd saw it, and he attempted to hide it away. She had come out with only a scratch on her, and now she felt bad. "Link.."

"It's fine, I've suffered worse." He shrugged simply. "Let's get those shock arrows and get out of here, yeah?"

She and Link gathered the arrows he dropped, and the many around the top of the hill that the Lynel had shot off. Link recovered his sword, then they returned down to meet Prince Sidon at Vah Ruta. "Have you two gotten the shock arrows?" He asked. Emery nodded, showing them to him. "Great, are you ready to do this thing?" Both Emery and Link nodded again. "Alright, here's how it's going to go. I'm going to swim you close enough to swim up the waterfalls pouring from Ruta's sides. From there, you'll use the updraft to shoot those glowing pink spots. After each of them are green, she'll hopefully stop pouring water and we'll get Link to an access point so he can do what he must."

"Sounds like a plan." She nodded. She got her bow ready, and they both climbed onto Prince Sidon's back. Link had let her borrow the Zora armor so she'd have no problem swimming. She did what she needed, while Link defended them from the flying ice. Easily and simply enough, she shot all the spots in a split second of her departure from Sidon's back, and Ruta let out a roar. She collapsed, and the water stopped pouring from her sides. The skies turned beautiful and clear once more, then the river drained back to it's normal state. They looked at Link, who was staring straight at the entrance of Ruta. Sidon quickly swam him over towards, and he climbed on. Link stuck his hand out to Emery. "You want me to come with you?"
