I had just defeated the Calamity, with aid from the spirits of the Champions, and Zelda had sealed him away. The burden on her shoulders was finally lifted, and she was free once again.

As we sat in the meadow, she heard that something was wrong with Vah Ruta. I told her I would head there the next day.

The next day, I got to Zora's Domain. I headed straight to King Dorephan. "Link," he said, "I need you to re-enter Ruta. She has stopped working, however the other three Divine Beasts still are. Can you please check it out."

When I got there, I saw Mipha's spirit on the trunk of the Divine Beast. I went inside to approach her. "Link?" she asked, "I have a big favor to ask of you. I don't even know if it will work, but I want to try. I wish to be with you once again."

She pointed to the Shrine of Resurrection, and I knew what she wanted. I told her I would ask her father. She thanked me and I went on my way.

I asked her father about what Mipha wished for and the Divine Beast turning off was just a way for her to get me to come to her. He agreed without hesitation. I told him that if it was a success, she would very likely return with memory loss. King Dorephan responded, "Whether she is with or without her memory, she will still be my daughter."

With that, I went off to Ruta to retrieve her body. I never held a corpse before, much less of someone I really cared about. I looked back to her spirit, making sure this is what she wanted. She nodded.

I carried her out of the Divine Beast, and to the edge of the Domain. When I got to Ingo Bridge, and army of four Zors guards were waiting for me. "Hero," one of them said, "we we have been asked by the king to protect you."

"Thank you," I said. With the guards around me, we continued the hike to the shrine. When we got to the outskirts of the Great Plateau, I realized the wall surrounding it was almost completely gone. If you reached your arms up, you would be able to touch the top of the wall.

The Great Plateau rose high when it senses the return of the Calamity. It rose suddenly for a short period of time to offer some barrier between those who happened to be on it and the monsters below. It then rose gradually to hope more people could get on it before it was out of reach.

We decided the best way to get over this obstacle was to send to Zora guards out first, then gently lift Mipha over while I climbed the wall. I would then retrieve her once again while the last guard climbed over.

Once we were all over the wall, we continued the walk. Soon we were at the Shrine of Resurrection.

Thanks to James Birdsong for letting me know about the error in this first chapter. I had not realized that when I transferred it over, it had become a single paragraph.
