I Give You My Life ~ Revali x Reader

Chapter Eighteen

[Your POV]

The beaming sunlight felt hot on my face. I felt the beads of sweat trickle down the side of my temple. I looked over at Revali, who sat up straight, but I could tell by that look in his eyes that he wanted nothing more than to whine about the heat. "Don't worry." I said and he looked over at me. "I can see Gerudo Town from here!"

His eyes trained lazily ahead on the approaching town. "You are terrible at being optimistic." He said. I smiled as Ares and Aurora galloped forward. I could tell our horses were also eager to find some shade after all this desert and riding.

~~~~~

Two Gerudo guards stopped us at the gate, their eyes trained on Revali. One bowed. "Lady Urbosa has told us of your visit with the one they call '(Y/N) (L/N)'." She said, eyeing me. We soon hopped off our horses and they were led away by the Gerudo guards.

"You already told Urbosa about us visiting?" I asked.

"It's called a 'letter', you uncultured swine." Revali said, using his sweat to slick back his feathers. "How do I look?"

"Like you're about to sweat to death." I said with a smirk. He frowned as his feathers stuck right back up. I giggled as we entered the town. The place was bustling with all sorts of species, but everyone consisted of the female gender. I looked over at Revali. He probably felt a bit out of place. I looked up at the throne room entrance. A Gerudo woman with tell and slender legs flew down the stairs. Her hips swayed naturally. Her long and thick red hair bounced behind her as she approached us. That Gerudo woman was Urbosa.

"Hey, (Y/N)." Urbosa said with a smile. I nodded my head. "Revali." She nodded at him and he nodded back. "So, I hear you're interested in seeing Hyrule. You've come to right place to start." Her eyes landed on Revali. "Or am I wrong?" I smiled as she stuck her finger on one of Revali's feathers, flicking away several drops of sweat. He frowned and waved her hand away, making Urbosa and I grin in amusement.

"Sure, we're here for a 'tour'." Revali said. "But, I was hoping to get some help on training (Y/N) here."

"Ah yes!" Urbosa said. "But training's no fun when you're doing it constantly. I'm always having to remind our chief about this. Tell me, (Y/N), how many hours has Revali worked you?"

"Um..." I said, looking over at Revali. He furrowed his eyebrows but he wasn't looking at me. Instead, he was staring at Urbosa with a fierce look on his face. "A lot, but I don't mind all too much."

"Oh, but you will when those hours turn into days." Urbosa said, shooting me a wink. "How about I take the two of you to Vah Naboris to start our tour? Plus, I'm pretty sure Lady Rosut is out with the Sand Seals." She gestured for Revali and I to follow. I hung back with Revali, who stayed several feet behind Urbosa.

"Alright, What's up with you?" I asked. "You don't seem too happy."

"It's just that she's treating me like a child." Revali whispered. "She's teasing me to try and appeal to..." He quickly glanced at me before hurrying to catch up to Urbosa. "By the way, your face is bright red."

"Because we've been in the heat for several hours." I said.

"You sure it's not because of those hips?" He asked, pointing to Urbosa.

"R-Revali!" I gasped. He began laughing at my humiliation. I punched his arm weakly, but he continued laughing. I could hear Urbosa chuckling under her breath in front of us. We soon came to the front of Gerudo Town. My eyes caught sight of a young Gedrudo woman petting a Sand Seal gracefully. She looked very familiar. "Like an older version of Riju..." I mumbled.

"'Riju'?" Urbosa asked, looking back at me. "That's funny. Lady Rosut told me that if she ever had a daughter, she would call her 'Riju'." I blinked as we neared Lady Rosut. Could she possibly be Riju's future mother? But she looked so young, like a teenager! But Riju WAS only twelve years old in the game... I noticed she was staring at someone in the distance. I followed her vision, finding a Hylian man. "Fantasising, are we?" Urbosa interrupted.

"Oh! Urbosa!" She cried, standing up, scaring any Sand Seals within a mile radius. She smiled at the three of us. "Oh, hello again, Champion Revali! And (Y/N) (L/N)! It's so nice to finally meet you!" She shook my hand eagerly. She kind of reminded me of Zelda in her innocent voice and gestures. "I am Lady Rosut!"

"It's nice to meet you too." I said as our hands released. Urbosa told her about us going to Vah Naboris and she began shaking with excitement.

"Can I come too?" Lady Rosut asked. Urbosa placed a hand on her chin, as if thinking, and then nodded. Lady Rosut smiled widely and threw herself into a Sand Seal. "Last one there is a rotten Lizalfos!" Urbosa was able to get on a seal with no problem. I looked over at the one available Sand Seal, then turned to Revali.

"I can fly." Revali said. "But I wanna see you get ahold of this Sand Seal." He sounded like he was amused already. I puffed out my cheeks and crouched down, giving him a sly grin. I tamed a horse, this should be a piece of cake! I noticed the reins of the line Sand Seal just lying there. I quickly picked them up, trying to get back to my feet, but the seal saw its companions had left him, and began chasing after them!

"AGH!" I screamed as I lurched forward with the seal, but I managed to keep a grip on the reins. I got to my feet before I had the chance to fall over. "Uhh!" I panicked as I noticed my seal was going faster then usual. The seal and I flew by Urbosa and Lady Rosut, their eyes widening at the sight. I pulled the reins, but the Sand Seal only went faster. I looked up to see Revali was the only one able to keep up with me. The sudden sound of exploding sand pulled my eyes away from the sky and back to the ground. Two Lizalfos appeared on either side of me, making clicking sounds, eyes trained on me. "LIZALFOS!" I warned everyone. These creatures had red stripy scales with armour covering most of their bodies. Fire-Breath. I was surprised at how fast these Lizalfos were running. They were keeping at pace with my Sand Seal and I! I could see Vah Naboris in the distance coming closer. When I looked back at the Lizalfos, I noticed their eyes were a purple-ish tint. I flashed back to when I was attacked by the Guardian back when I first met Revali...

I felt a breeze fly by my face, but soon that breeze turned into a heavy wind. The Sand Seal's reins flew from my fingers and I was suddenly on my side, sand staining half my face. I closed my eyes, trying to prevent sand from getting in them. The wind stopped pretty quickly. I looked over to see Revali standing next to two Lizalfos tails. "Wow!" Lady Rosut cried, running over and picking up the tails. "Can I keep these?"

"Sure." Revali said. He walked over to me, taking my hand, helping me up. "There was something off about those Lizalfos. They were too fast."

"Yes." Urbosa said. "We can discuss it later, Revali. Come. Vah Naboris waits for us."
