[Revali's POV]

I can't die...I can't die...I have to tell (Y/N)...I love them!

"(Y/N)!" I cried, opening my eyes. But I was no longer in the Hinox's hands. I was my bed...in the Rito Village. My eyes widened. "(Y/N)!" I pulled my blanket off me, trying to get out of bed, but I felt someone's hand on my shoulder.

"They're not here, Revali..." She said. I looked up to see...Urbosa. What's she doing here? Shouldn't she be in Gerudo Town? "I couldn't find them."

"Why are you here?" I asked. "Where's (Y/N)?"

"You seem real hyped about finding (Y/N), huh?" She teased.

"Just...tell me....Urbosa." I said. She could tell I wasn't playing around, but that I was serious.

"I'm here because I was planning on checking up on you and (Y/N)." Urbosa said. "I was training out in a forest when these two horses come barreling through. Ares and Aurora. I recognized them as yours and followed them until they led me to the Hinox that was trying to kill you." She ruffled my feathers, seemingly hoping to lighten the mood a bit. "I killed it and Ares and Aurora watched over you while I went searching for (Y/N). By the way, those horses are smart as hell, just thought I'd point them out."

"Yeah..." I said. It never really came to my mind that the horses would help in my rescue. They really are great creatures.

"Anyway, I went searching for (Y/N) and found almost nothing."

"'Almost'?" I asked. She gave a sigh and walked over to my table. My house was small, since I spent most of the time either on the road or with Medoh, so everything was in one big room. My living room/kitchen/dining room/bedroom, pretty much. I watched as Urbosa picked something up from the table and brought to my bedside. "...Is that a banana?"

"Yup." Urbosa said. "And we both know who love bananas."

"The Yiga Clan..." I muttered.

"So you know what this means, right, Revali?" She asked. I nodded my head slowly, staring down at my bedsheets. "(Y/N)'s been captured by the Yiga Clan."

"I need to save them." I said, moving to get out of bed. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my head. "AGH!"

"Revali, stay down!" Urbosa said, pushing me down onto the bed. I groaned in pain. "You're not going anywhere. I can go and get (Y/N)."

"No, I need to go." I said, sitting back up.

"No, you don't."

"Yes, I do!"

"Why do you need to go!?"

"Because (Y/N)'s always saved me!" I bursted out. "I've done nothing but sit there and be pathetic while they were the ones risking their life! I was hurt, but (Y/N) could push through and make it out with the both of us! I refuse to stay in bed and do nothing while (Y/N) is probably being tortured by the Yiga Clan! You, Urbosa, cannot do anything to stop me! You could strap me down to this bed and have every soldier in the Rito Village guard my house and I'd still fight my way through the Yiga Clan Hideout!"

"And why is that?" Urbosa asked, crossing her arms.

"Because I lov-" I started, but quickly slapped my hand over my beak. Dammit! I looked up at Urbosa, who was smiling.

"So you admit it?" She asked, tapping her finger on my table, almost impatiently.

"N-No." I denied.

"You're lying." She teased. I stayed silent, looking away from her and down at my bedsheets. "Look, Revali, everyone knows you're in love with (Y/N)."

"What!?" I cried. "How do they know!?"

"So you admit it?" She repeated. My cheeks began burning underneath my feathers. I frowned, continuing to look away. "I don't need your approval, I already know. Anyway, I'll leave tomorrow to go and find (Y/N). You're free to come with me if you can stand." I looked back at her, a look of sheer determination on my face. I practically threw off the covers, swinging my talon-like feet over the side of my bed. I took a deep breath and stood up.

"See? I can stand! So I'm going with yo-AGH!" I suddenly felt an immense amount of pain in my head, making me so dizzy, I fell back onto the bed. "N-No!"

"Revali-"

"No! Urbosa, I need to go!" I said, sitting up. "I don't care how injured I am, I'm going to save (Y/N)!"

"No, you're not. I know you think you need to save them, but you can't. Besides, how do you think it would make (Y/N) feel if you ruined your entire body just to go and find them?" Urbosa asked, once again, pushing me down on the bed. "Until you can prove that you are capable of standing, you are not setting one foot out of this house. I'm being serious this time, Revali." Urbosa was a tease and prankster, but when she was serious...she was serious. She walked out of my house, shutting the door behind her. I gave a sigh, sitting back up and attempting to get on my feet. But once again, the dizziness overtook me, making me fall back on my bed. I can't give up. I need to help (Y/N).

~~~~~

I climbed out of my window late that night, possibly even early in the morning. I don't really know, it was so dark and I was too filled with determination to bring (Y/N) back home. Home...to the Rito Village. It had taken me hours of rest and standing practice to be able to withstand the pain in my head. Urbosa, nor anyone else, hadn't come in to check on me.

I climbed on the roof of my house, spreading my wings, getting ready to take off. "Where do you think you're going?" I heard a voice behind me. I was so startled, I almost fell off my roof. I looked back to see Urbosa, hands on her hips, looking up at me with a smirk on her face.

"Urbosa! Son of a bitch!" I whisper yelled. "I'm going to Gerudo Desert!"

"Alright." She said. "I'm coming with you."

"Wait, you're not going to try and stop me?" I asked, fluttering off my roof, standing next to Urbosa.

"What are you? Deaf?" She said, making me raise my eyebrows. "I told you, didn't I? I'd let you go when you had the strength to stand. You're standing, so let's go. Aurora and Ares are waiting at the entrance of the village." She began walked towards the entrance of the village. I followed, not behind, but next to her.

"...Thank you, Urbosa. For wanting to save (Y/N)...and allowing me to come with you." I thanked her. She stopped in her tracks, looking down at me. She suddenly began laughing. "W-What's so funny!? I demand to know!"

"Nothing." Urbosa said. "It's just...I'm not used to you being so nice. You really do love (Y/N), huh?"

"..." I was silent. What do I say? Should I open up to Urbosa, or stay shelled up.

"Revali...?"

"...Yes. I really do love (Y/N). That's why I need to bring them home...here...to the Rito Village...with me..."
