So I don't forget again

Entry 12: Kakariko Village

Entry 12: Kakariko Village

Wearing the sneaking Sheikah outfit I hid at a high location near the Chief's hut. For the longest time not much happened.

Then in the deepest, darkest, part of this cloudy night I saw someone cautiously walking around. Due to how dark it was I couldn't tell who it was. There weren't that many fireflies out that night.

I kept my distance as I followed. Thankfully because it was so late there was hardly any noise so I could still hear where they were. They slowly traversed through a forest near the village. When the moon was beginning to set, they finally stopped. They stood at a pedestal which I often found in the Shrine puzzles. The orb had to be placed on it in order to activate one thing or another.

They took out the treasure orb which they hid in their clothing and they spoke to a shadowy figure. I recognized the voice, it was Dorian, Koko and Cottla's father. The other was very deep and came from the shadow. It turns out that Dorian used to be a part of some tribe called the Yiga Clan, the mortal enemies of the Sheikah. Dorian was to infiltrate the Sheikah tribe, but he actually wanted to leave the organization. Unfortunately, they were using Dorian's family against him, threatening to kill them if he didn't comply with their demands which is why he stole the orb.

Then the shadow said, "It appears we have an audience!" and directly looked at me! It then slashed me with a sword with such force I was knocked against a tree. It dashed in for another attack, but I nearly dodged out of the way, and the weapon got lodged in the tree. I used this opportunity to attack. It was only for a moment, but I saw that they had the exact same insignia as the Sheikah, but upside down. The battle was fierce, this was by far the toughest opponent I had faced. It actually knew how to fight. I underestimated it though and it landed quite a few hits. I managed to beat it. Dorian rushed to my side, insisting that I needed medical attention. I swiftly ate the soup I made with Koko from my bottle. My wounds didn't disappear, but they shrank quite considerably.

He still insisted that I needed help and tried to drag me away. In the scuffle we kicked the orb onto the pedestal, and it disappeared, and the pedestal began to glow blue. The ground then began to shake and a shrine burrowed out from underneath the earth. I told Dorian I'd be fine, that I'd tell no one of what happened, and I entered the shrine.

This shrine didn't have any puzzles, it was a straight walk to the Sheikah elder waiting at the end. Then I was sent outside as usual, but all my wounds were gone.

As I was trying to find my way back through the forest, I heard a voice calling out for help. I followed it and found a massive flower. The voice said they were once a revered deity but over time people stopped making offerings, making them weak. The voice sounded like it came from the giant flower, so I held out some rupees. Then a massive hand snatched the rupees. Then suddenly there was a massive bright light and when I could see there was a large pool in the middle of the flower, and a gigantic beautiful woman in the pool. She was like nothing I had ever seen before. She told me that with that offering some of her power was restored. She offered to mend my clothing, and if I had the right materials even make them more powerful.

I kept failing to mention this, but I finally remembered to do so now. I occasionally get items from shrines. I found pieces of an outfit which is ideal for climbing which I do often when traveling. I only had the right materials to upgrade those, so I had them enhanced. They didn't look different, but she told me that if I upgraded them enough, they could gain special powers, like my being able to climb easily even in rain.

She also told me that she has three other sisters and requested that I give them offerings as well.

After that was said and done, I returned to the village. I bought a few things, like a small pack to carry things. I can't stay here any longer. I have a duty I must fulfill. Now that I'm done writing I'll finally head out. I'll first try to find those two locations, then go to Hateno Village where that Sheikah scientist can hopefully restore the last of the powers to the Sheikah slate, then I'll return to the Sheikah Village and tell Impa whether or not going to the locations restored my memories or not.
