When Opposites Collide ~ A BOTW Mivali Fanfiction

The morning after the storm

I woke up this morning with my pillow soaking, feathers drenched in tears. I felt horrible. There was no way I could see Lasli again, not like this. I wouldn't be able to see her for a while now. Not while we shared this... heaviness.

Or at least I felt it. I didn't feel like going to the Flight Range today, even though today I had planned to tweak a main section in the power I have been planning. I just wanted to stay in my bed, sleeping an eternal, emotional sleep.

I could here the muttering outside my house, the lazy and trying to get out of work Revali, the useless and stupid. It felt like their comments were magnified in my mind. Everything just felt more terrible today, and when I finally dragged my feathers out of bed, the sun was already high in the sky.

I have heard that there are people all around with special powers, like magic. They are so adored and respected in their villages, maybe if my gale succeeds I will be respected too. I have heard from all the people at the stable, about champions like Da-dar-darek and u-ur-urbosu. Maybe I will get another chance with the people in Rito Village. Those thoughts pounded through my mind as I took the short flight to the Flight Range.

Only to find... guards standing outside? 

"Revali... Revali..." One of the guards searched down a piece of parchment. I recognised him as Guy, we were old childhood friends. 

"No access." said Guy, hold his spear out. "Please leave these premises."

"W-what?! I have trained here every day! Why am I suddenly locked out?"

"New orders." said the Rito woman to my left. I did not recognise her, it was almost like she was from another world. Or maybe it was I in the other world.

"But that's not fair!" Okay, I'll admit it, I was starting to get a little ruffled now.

"You have been classed as dangerous and can therefore no longer enter these grounds. Kaneli's orders. Now leave." Guy pointed his spear in the direction of the village.

Right. Lasli's father... the Rito Leader. Oh. 

"We will attack if you do not leave immediately." said the woman. The two guards held out their spears.

I was tempted to fight back, but I held myself in. I accepted defeat and flew back home, feeling like weights where attached to my wings and tail. I lay in bed, thoughts swimming in circles. Dangerous? Useless? Maybe it's all true...

I waited until dark, when the guards left to sleep, before I slipped into the Flight Range - but training felt useless. I just sat and watched the wind blow up, heart sinking into the ground. 

And then, just then, I made a wish.

For someone to free me from this endless circle - not the circle of life...

The circle of death.
