Link hopped off Revali's back, the Rito ruffling his feathers after a long flight. They both felt that they had just witnessed the apocalypse or something. This was the saddest, most melancholy scene they had ever seen.
"What the hell do you think happened here?" Revali whispered, and Link shrugged, looking much more worried than the winged one beside him.
"Listen, I'm gonna check the throne room. You stay here and get some rest. That was a long flight," Link explained, and without protest, Revali made his way towards the inn. Link didn't really notice that the Wind Champion had stolen 40 rupees from his pocket.
Link strode up the staircase the was so delicately carved out of ice, just like the statue in the center of the Domain which seemed to resemble a former Zora prince. Once he reached the balcony, Link was already not feeling good about this. The king was not in his throne, which is an extremely rare occasion in itself, but he heard sobs, sobs of a young woman, and Link could only identify who that was.
He sprinted over to where he had heard the whimpers, and immediately pulled Mipha into a tight embrace.
"It's okay, it's okay," he whispered, "You're gonna be okay..." He rocked her back and forth as she cried into his shoulder, her tears soaking his sleeves.
"Thank you, Link, but... I don't think I'll be okay, no matter how many consolations I get. Even from you," Mipha cried humbly, "I'm sorry about all this, but, could you two please go back to Hyrule Castle?"
"Of course, but how'd you know–"
"Behind you." Link turned around to see Revali waving at him, but without his signature smirk. "Mipha, if you need anything, just tell us. I can't even imagine how hard this must be on you."
Mipha smiled gratefully. "Thank you, Revali. And you too, Link. Safe travels."
"Goodbye, Mipha," the two other champions waved back solemnly, though only one of the two actually knew what had happened.
Even though, Link just wanted to hold Mipha forever, forever until all her troubles and sorrows went away.
But there are just some things you can't bring back.
