Once Aleya had finished her drinking session, the three left Kakariko village and headed for Zora's Domain. Aleya had a massive hangover and headaches. Red continued to tell her that it was no-one's fault but hers, but she kept telling him to shush as it wasn't "helping with her headache." Link of course was really annoyed not only by the fact that they had to deal with a hungover Aleya, but also the fact that she didn't even get the quick travel gate for Zora's Domain and he refused to quick travel with her again. Not to mention they had wasted 2 days because of said female, 2 days that they could have used getting ready to go on Vah Ruta and even appeasing it.

After what seemed like hours, they saw the gate of Zora Domain. Red tapped the now fully recovered Aleya and pointed towards it. He saw Aleya's eyes widen and sparkle, a smile threatening to appear on her tired face. Red smirked as he ran to catch back up with Link.

"So, um, how long do you think it will take to get the Divine... thing?" He asked. Link looked at him, "Divine Beast Vah Ruta? Probably... a day or so? Including the scourge that defeated Mipha." He replied Reds eyes shot open wider. 'A day!? And a fight against something that killed a Champion!?' Red started to panic until Link rested a hand on his shoulder.

"Hey, calm down. I'll be able to handle the fight. If I'm able to defeat Ganon, I can defeat whatever lies dormant within the beast." He comforted. Red thought that wasn't enough. "But what about the state you're in now!? What if you still need a backstory to help with defeating it!?" Link didn't have enough time to answer as they had reached the entrance of Zora's Domain.

Without warning, Aleya sprinted through the gates the moment she saw Sidon. "Yo! Sidon!" she shouted as she embraced him tightly. Sidon wasn't bothered by the force Aleya used, if anything, he hugged back with an equal, if not more, amount of pressure. Red and Link merely headed towards the general shop, Link grabbing a few Ice Arrows for him to use in the battle. Red looked towards his friend and a smile spread from ear to ear.

Aleya had given her drawing pad and pencil to Sidon. She was sitting still as Sidon tried to draw her. Link tapped Red on the shoulder, asking him to hold the absurd amount of arrows he had purchased. "Do we really need this much?" he asked Link looked at him "Yes, because for all we know the scourge could have a weakness to ice and there's a chance we could miss, ya' know." Red nodded in agreement "Ah, I see, we can never know what happens!" Link smiled at him and then walked out the shop with him.

As they walked past Sidon and Aleya, Red gave Aleya the look of 'hurry up and kiss.' Aleya glared at him. Sidon gave them a confused look but continued drawing. Link got out an empty quiver and let Red put all the arrows in it. Red huffed "That is a lot of arrows..." he said as he sat down next to Link.

"So do we have a plan on what we are going to do once we get in there? Let alone how we get on?" he asked. "Yes, for starters we'll have to shoot some shock arrows at some pink targets on the beast, I'll be doing that part. We'll be riding on the back of Sidon so we can easily get on Vah Ruta and due to his speed, even have greater defence against it." Link told him. "Are you implying it's going to be attacking us?" Red asked nervously. "Yes, it should send blocks of ice at the four of us. You and Aleya will be defending yourselves with your weapons and not to mention, Aleya should have Cryonis on her Shiekah slate." Link explained further. "What's 'Cryonis'?" Red gave Link a confused look. "It's one of the runes in the Shiekah slate, it can create ice on any water source from what I've seen. It can also break ice, that's why it should be used instead of a weapon. Now as for when we get inside, I honestly don't have a clue..."

"Well then, we best make a plan while we have the time!" Red smiled "Problem, we can't. You see, no one really knows what's inside Vah Ruta because no one other than Mipha has ever been inside it. Though I might've been inside I can't even remember so..." Link explained making Red sigh. "Do have a plan against the scourge?" he asked a bit of worry in his tone. Link shook his head "No, I honestly don't know what that thing can do, but I do know that I'll be able to defeat it" he smiled with determination.
