Waking of Friday, April 14, 2017
It was time for a new plan.
I had seen Sheikah Towers in close
range of two of the places I could
comfortably haunt. One was up on a hill behind the Woodland Stable, above the
river that bent toward the castle. The other was northward beyond the hills of
Upland Zorana, in what had to be Akkala.
I would first climb and activate
the tower behind the stable, and thereby attain a map of the area. And if, from
whatever the map could tell me, the river steered clear enough away from the
castle, then I would follow it, for Mei. But it if ran too close to Calamity
Ganon, then I would head to Akkala, and Mei would have to wait.
Because I wouldn’t be able to help anybody if I got myself killed along the
way.
I needed this Robbie, I needed more
shrines....
I needed to get stronger.
Why
was I so set on finding the missing Mei?
Maybe it was just that a missing
person seemed so much more desperate
than getting rid of a Hinox, or harvesting luminous stones.... Maybe it was
just poor Fronk. And poor Fronk’s children, Tumbo and Keye.
Where was their wife and mother?
I had to make one last effort for
now, but first I would take a couple of pit stops along the way to the Woodland
Stable....
Was I visiting with the Prince
again when I left? Whom did I give a heart attack to when I teleported away
from Zora’s Domain....?
My first stop was Cotera’s Forest,
above Kakariko Village. There were living Silent
Princess flowers in there, and perhaps Tye and Sorelia—that was her name—would react better to a pictograph of one of them.
I found the flower, snapped its
image, and was on my way.
The fairies had still not returned
to those woods.
Did I destroy their population when
I caught so many there before....?
I wonder....
My next stop was the shrine near
where I first met Ledo, in the river by the wetlands. I could reach Tye and
Sorelia’s camp easily enough from there.
I had it out with some stray
lizalfos, swam to the shore, killed a mounted bokoblin, briefly mounted his
black appaloosa—but, not wanting to get attached to it, I got off again pretty
quick—and jogged to Tye and Sorelia’s camp.
Those two, I swear, I can’t leave
them alone for one minute.
Tye was trading sword strokes with
one black—er, blue.... blue bokoblin,
while the other blue bokoblin was chasing Sorelia around the field. Blasted base animals....
I gave the Hylians a hand in
finishing off the monsters, and then the three of us reconvened at their little
shelter.
This was it, surely. I would show them the pictograph of the flower, and then
they would want to know where it was, and I would tell them somehow, so they
could go make their vows.... but not before I took a pictograph of them to take back to Kapson in Zora’s Domain, and he could
marry them!
But I could not show them my
pictograph.
There was no option. I couldn’t
tell them about it.
I tried tuning my Sheikah Slate’s
sensor to detect Silent Princess flowers. Maybe they would hear and remark on
the beeping....
They didn’t.
What did I need to do to draw their
attention to it?
I tried again dropping an actual specimen of Silent Princess at
their feet, on the ground before their eyes, but they said nothing.
WHAT MORE DID THEY WANT?
It was a chore picking that thing back up, let me tell you, trying to
maneuver to a place where the A button would let me collect an item rather than
speak to a person.
Tye....
you’re killin’ me, man, you gotta
work with me here, come on....
I snapped their pictograph where
they sat anyway. For Kapson. I don’t know why.
It was a good pictograph.
