Breath of the Wild - One Shots

Mutual Feelings Pt. 10, (Revali x Reader)

Summary: Read it yourself, lazy

The sun was unbearable. It had been a minute since you last visited Gerudo and the desert was even hotter than you last remembered. The City was cooler, but when you couldn't bear to be within the City walls knowing you would have to sneak out at night, it was off limits. There was no way you were going to have the guards stopping you as you left only for Urbosa or one of the others to find out what you were doing. They'd think you were insane. To risk your life in the Yiga and monster-infested desert, especially at night, for a mythical flower would be idiotic.

Kara Kara was as lively as you recalled. With tired travelers lining the oasis, horny boys looking to sneak into Gerudo City, and hustlers insisting you purchase their goods it made for quite the atmosphere. Urbosa and Daruk greeted everyone with open arms as you pulled a small container from your satchel and handed it to Mipha. She cocked her head to the side, eyeing the thick liquid quizzically.

"It's for your skin. It'll protect against the sand and heat. Plus, you'll be able to safely travel in the desert if needed without worry of dehydration."

She nodded, securing it to her side, before turning her attention to the princess who was laying out the game plan. Zelda spoke quietly, wanting the conversation to remain as inconspicuous as the group could possibly be. There was no way to ensure clan members weren't around and listening.

"I think we should split into two groups. One led by Urbosa, one by Revali." Revali agreed with the princess, the suggestion inflating his ego. "Urbosa knows the desert better than anyone and Revali can easily navigate the skies if you get lost."

"Sounds good t' me!" Daruk pounded his hand on his chest.

"I'll be traveling with Urbosa and Link... Mipha, would you mind joining us?" Mipha opportunely agreed to her request. "That leaves Revali with Daruk and [Name]."

"A good choice in pairing." Urbosa noted, a knowing smirk on her face as she eyed you. "We should leave as soon as possible. The desert gets cold at night. I suggest we meet at the Outpost before sunset to report what we find."

Traveling with Daruk and Revali proved to be difficult. Daruk could easily work his way through the sand but threw up large clouds in his wake. It was just your luck that you happened to be behind him. No matter the direction you stood, you struggled with the bits of dust and dirt that were attracted to your burning tear ducts. Revali flew from above, remaining suspended in the air just out of the sand's gritty grasp.

Your shoes weren't crafted for desert travel. They sunk down with each step and pulled a pound of sand up with them. At some point in the day, you became separated from the two. You could see Daruk's cloud appear and disappear as he rolled through the desert. He stopped a few times near what looked like shrines. They shifted and waved in the excruciating heat. Revali vanished in the sky too, dipping down every now and again as he likely did what Daruk was doing.

You were perfectly fine being alone at this time. You had a different mission, a different undisclosed mission. Sand had not yet permeated the pages of your journal. By the end of the day, you imagined you would be brushing the thing out. You can only imagine how long you'll be finding the stuff crushed and stuck down in the page's crevices.

According to the book Sopho gave you, the flower should bloom in or near an oasis. It should be uplifted from the ground, on a plateau for example. This is to provide it with the best possible protection against those who wish to harvest its power. You squinted, brushing the line of sweat that dripped from your brow as you studied the pages. It was almost impossible to read your handwriting in the blinding daylight.
