When Opposites Collide ~ A BOTW Mivali Fanfiction

The City That Glows in the Dark

Ruta and I look at Zora's Domain as I write this. The cold air of the night brushes against my cheeks. I love my home, it's so beautiful. It must be very late at night, as there is none of the bustle of activity that I usually see and feel in the domain.

This is my first time sleeping at Vah Ruta. I really love it here, the blue Shekiah lights soothe my troubles. Speaking of troubles, the champions came here today. I took them around, answered their questions, but I couldn't stop thinking about how Revali acted to Link. I think Revali could tell as I was acting very curt to him, answering his questions as shortly as possible. 

I had to meet another suitor today, but I didn't even learn his name. When I walked into the great hall, and saw Dad talking to a man that I had never met, I left without a word. I had gone to Ruta until the champions came, and I am still not talking to Father. How dare he bring in a suitor when he knows I have a task?

Sidon has been sad lately, he's missing Mother. He goes through these phases of happy and sad, and we just have to support him through it. He took Mother's death right to the core, and now he hates himself for it. Today was one of Sidon's bad days, I felt really terrible for him.

I miss Mother a lot. She shared my power, and she was always kind to me. She would let me have time to myself. She wouldn't bring in suitors to try and play matchmaker. And she would believe my "waste-of-an-excuse", because Mother would know it was true.

Sidon yelled at me this morning, and started screaming and crying. I wanted to cry too. It looks like we are a perfect royal family of father, daughter and son but there are many bubbles under our calm surface. It breaks my heart watching more and more of these bubbles come to the surface... at least now I have Ruta to help me through this.

I've been under a lot of pressure lately... I'm surprised I haven't shattered into a thousand pieces. I guess it is the people and Ruta... always welcoming me with ready smiles and kind words.

I wonder if Zelda has as much trouble as me... I heard her father's very pressuring too.

The only real way to know, is to see if for yourself.

Because I know that I'd never tell a soul about this.

The ice will have to survive without protection, because I have none left to give.
