[Your POV]

I was no longer in the throne room. After telling them my story, King Dorephan had asked me to leave the room so they could discuss things as Champions and Royalty. I remember the look Revali had given me when I was escorted out of the room. His eyes had been filled with sadness upon hearing my story, but when we had made eye contact, he gave me a sort of reassuring look. Was he going to convince them to let me stay somewhere?

It had been about an hour now and Sidon had sat down next to me. "(Y/N)?" He asked, his voice filled with childlike innocence.

"Oh." I said, snapped out of my trance. "Hey, Sidon. What's up?"

"My dad says you are to go back in the throne room." Sidon said, offering his hand to help me up, despite being much smaller than me. I accepted it anyway, even lifting him off the ground a bit, making him laugh. He 'escorted' me to the throne room himself, leaving after I was in.

The king turned to me immediately. "(Y/N) (L/N)." He said, his voice seeming much more booming and powerful. I stood up straight.

"Yes, King Dorephan?" I asked.

"We have granted you permission to stay in the Rito Village, much to Champion Revali's persistence." He said, shooting a smile at Revali, who just looked to the side. "He has agreed to train you and watch over you there. The other Champions have also offered to train you and will always accept you when you wish to visit."

"R-Really!?" I cried, breaking my composure as tears filled my eyes. "I get to stay in Rito Village!?"

"Yes, don't go making a big deal out of it." Revali said. "Lots of people live there, no need to get worked up." I smiled. Revali really was a huge tsundere.

"Tomorrow morning, you and Revali will make your way to the Rito Village." King Dorephan said with a smile. "I wish you well on your trip." I nodded my head and Zelda approached me.

"I will accompany you halfway. I would like you to meet my father and show him the Sheikah Slate on your arm." She said, giving it a light tap.

"Thank you, Zelda." I said, hugging her. Her eyes widened and she hugged back. Not many people probably hugged her like this, her being a princess and all.

As night came, a guard came up to me. "(Ms/Mr) (L/N)." The guard said.

"Yes?" I asked.

"I am here to take you to your room, but Princess Zelda, Lady Mipha, and Lady Urbosa are wanting to stay with you." They said.

"Huh?" I asked.

"I believe Princess Zelda called it a 'sleepover'." The guard said, giving me a smile. "They are waiting for you outside the throne room." The guard went back to his station, knowing I knew where the throne room was. Sure enough, when I got there, the three girls were standing outside, waiting for me.

"Hello, (Y/N)." Mipha said. "I was wondering if you would like to join Zelda, Urbosa, and I in my bedroom." Zelda seemed giddy with excitement while Urbosa smiled down at us. "I can provide you with a place to sleep and pajamas to clothe yourself with."

"Thank you, Mipha." I said, giving a bow. "I'd be happy to join you guys!"

"Oh!" Mipha exclaimed, wrapping her arms around me. "I am so happy!" I hugged her back. This feeling...when I was hugged or even in contact with a Champion...it felt like magic itself. "Come!" She took me by the hand and the four of us walked down some stairs. She made us climb down a ladder and to the edge of the water.

"Uh, Mipha?" I asked, confused. "Where are we supposed to go?"

"Oh yes!" Mipha said. She let go of my hand and placed mine in Zelda's, putting my other hand in Urbosa's. She held Zelda's free hand. "It will require us to go underwater, but not for too long." My eyes widened as I looked down at the water.

"How long is 'not too long'?" I asked worriedly. 

"Do not worry, (Y/N)." Urbosa said with a chuckle. "I was nervous my first time too. I promise I won't let anything happen to you." When she said that, she looked me straight in the eyes. I blushed and looked down to the ground. Man, just speaking to the Champions now made me all flustered.

"Hold on!" Mipha said and then suddenly, the four of us were underwater. I held my breath, squeezing Zelda and Urbosa's hands. I shut my eyes tight. Since it was now night, the water seemed dark, so there really was no point.

As I thought I wouldn't be able to hold it in much longer, I was suddenly on a tiled floor. I blinked, my hands still linked with Zelda and Urbosa's. The tile floor had beautiful patterns carved into it. As looked around, taking in the room. It was a circular shape. The triangular windows patterned the wall. In one of the triangles, instead of a window, there was a bookshelf. Next to it was a vanity with multiple drawings and a mannequin standing next to it, those ones that were just torsos. The room was a pale blue with some purple thrown in. Her bed looked like large flower petals with pillows on them. Her desk was littered with little treasures. When I looked up, it seemed like we were still underwater, but we weren't. Lily pads floated above our heads. "Your room is so...beautiful." I said.

"Oh." Mipha said, blushing. "It is quite nice. I do not come here often, but it is especially nice when I have company." She walked to her dresser, which sat not too far from her bed. She pulled out plenty of extra blankets and pillows, throwing them behind her.

"Oof!" Zelda exclaimed as a pillow hit her in the face. Mipha quickly apologized, but Zelda began laughing. In another drawer were pajamas. Some of them didn't look like stuff Mipha would wear, so Urbosa explained.

"Princess Zelda comes here often to have sleepovers with Mipha. I do come here occasionally. That is why the pajamas are here, so we don't have to pack much when we come here." Urbosa said, strolling over to the drawer, pulling out a top and bottom, then chucking the pajamas at me. I caught them, a look of surprise on my face. She pointed to a curtain behind me, one that wasn't covering a window, but a space in the wall. "Feel free to get changed over there if you're uncomfortable changing in front of us."

I thanked her and got changed behind the curtain. By the time I had finished, Zelda and Urbosa had changed too. Zelda wore a simple white nightgown while Urbosa wore a red tank top and shorts. I was wearing a (F/C) two piece pajama set (essentially, I long sleeve shirt and pants). I held up my clothes Zelda had given me and Mipha pointed to a nearby chair to set them on. After putting down the clothes, I went and sat with the girls, who were all sitting on a couple blankets that had been laid out on the ground neatly.

"So, (Y/N), spill the beans." Urbosa said. I gave her a confused look. "About Revali!"

"H-Huh!?" I cried. "What do you mean?"

"C'mon!" Zelda said. "We know you like him!"

"U-UH-"

"Well, I mean, it seems he likes you very much." Mipha said, giving a giggle. "You two get along quite well."

"W-We don't get along!" I said.

"Oh, Mipha, Urbosa, you should've seen the look on his face when Link saved (Y/N) from that fall!" Zelda said, telling them all about it. "Revali was so jealous!"

"Well, let's be honest." Urbosa said. "When is Revali not jealous of Link?"

I laughed. "Yeah." I said, smiling. At first I was flustered, I still am, but now I feel more happy. This is new...having friends to talk to. "He is a bit of a jerk sometimes, though."

"Do not get discouraged because of that." Mipha said. "That is just who Revali is. He is stubborn, jealous, but determined."

"Maybe a little too much." Zelda said sadly.

The memory played in my head. Revali practicing his gale at the flight range when Zelda went to ask him to be a Champion. He had been working himself so hard...it was a sad memory, but a memory nonetheless.
