Ten days passed and I did nothing more than wearing this mask. It follows me everywhere and at anytime, as long as I'm out of my house. They can't see me like this. They can't see my true self, demolished and weak. They would judge me. I fake a smile, fake my attitude in front of them so they don't know how I'm feeling inside. That's how it works. I feel like the black sheep in our champions assembly. I'm the only one who ends up having some trouble with Link and it makes me even more sad. I feel left behind... again. I failed. I didn't impress them. I'm not important enough. I suffer but I have to keep it for myself...

Now, I prepare my mask to make my little visit to the Rito Village. It's the only place where they act like I'm important. At least there is somewhere in the world where we care about my existence...

They are all like "good morning, Revali" I smile. As I was walking, I got interrupted by Braphe, the leader of the military department of the Rito... at least when I'm not here because I take most of the decisions or I'm told about everything. He seems nervous: "Master Revali. A missing case. A father has gone missing for five days now, and the last time we saw him he was heading Gerudo Highlands. What shall we do. " As the warrior with the higher rank, it is my duty to do something. "Tell the S-2 squad to go in reconnaissance and prepare the A-4 one if anything wrong happens." He nodded and just before he leaves I commanded him: "and... if these Yiga have something to do about it and there is a problem, tell me. I'll take care of that personally." He nodded again and left.

I dispise the Yiga clan as much as they fear me. The bard even wrote a song for it that would be sung in a century :

"There lived a certain bird, in Hebra Long ago,

He was quick and strong and his eyes were flaming glow.

The Yiga looked at him, with terror and with fear,

But for Rito chicks he was such a lovely dear."

It's funny. Even if I don't care about all those fangirls, it's true to say I'm quite charming with them since I like my people. I would love to hear this song travel across the ages (tough I'll be dead...). Well, my mood has increased. At least it gives me hope that I'll have a nice day... hmm... I hear footsteps behind me... It's the sound of some boots on the wood. I turned away. For Din's sake ! Not you ! I was almost completely forgetting you !! As you may have guessed, it was Link.

I rudely looked at him : "What do you want." As always, no answer. However, he seemed as happy as me to be here. At least we have that in common. He gave me a paper. "Oh? What is it little knight ? A love letter ? Let's see ." It was from the Princess. Apparently, I had to teach him some archery techniques because he is too incompetent to use a bow properly and that I got to be sweet because the poor Hylian is very sensible. No. Seriously, she wrote :

" Greetings, Revali.

I'm with the rest of the Champions today and I want you to teach Link some archery techniques so he can be completely ready to whatever situation. He is talented, but I know with a teacher like you all he can do is improve ! And... don't be rude with him. He saved me a couple of days ago from the Yiga clan and I'm infinitely grateful. Also, I think he is a good friend finally and we get along quite nicely. I'm sure you can spend some time with him and you'll get along very well too ! I'll be here in the afternoon."

Argh. What a blast ! I can't wait to show him all I know so I can become totally irrelevant ! Yay..."So ? You have a bow with you ? Come on. I'll show you a place not too far where you can shoot some arrows. What. Why you look at me like this ? Did you really think I would let you ride on my back ? Let's be clear : only the Princess can climb on." He shook his head. Perfect. Now that we're set up, we can walk to Warbler's Nest. There, I asked him to shoot between the holes inside of the peculiar rocks at the place. He had ten seconds. He took a thing that appeared to be a bow and he made it in nine seconds."Not bad" I told him.
