Well I might own a few people later… Anyways… ON WITH THE STORY!
…
Zora Cape
Chapter 1
Rito Overboard
…
Everyone knows that Ritos evolved from Zoras, but few know that only the Zoras that took refuge on land grew wings. The other Zoras, the ones that the gods had left to die, did not disappear in the giant flood, nor were they ever seen again.
What happened to them? Why hasn't anyone seen them?
Hundreds of years later, the forgotten Zoras are discovered and the truth is unveiled.
But what happens when the Zora meet the Rito?
This is their story.
…
Noone knows much about what sleeps in the depths of the ocean besides gyorgs and the occasional octorok. This is what the gods wanted, everyone to live peacefully above the surface of the sea, oblivious to the great ruins of the mythical Hyrule that lie only a few hundred feet below the surface.
Above the surface, scattered across the Great Sea were numerous races- the Hylian, descendants of the original Hylian, the Koroks; whose ancestors were the forgotten children of the forest- the Kokiri, the merchants; the last surviving members of the Goron race, and the Rito, evolved from the Zora. The Deku Scrubs and the Gerudo were wiped out with the flood.
The Ritos, the majestic bird-like people of Dragon Roost, knew that they were evolved from the fish like Zoras with help from the gods. Since the gods didn't want the Zoras to be able to find Hyrule, the granted them wings so they could still get around quickly. What the Rito didn't know was that the god of the skies- Valoo, the great dragon- was not the god they had worshipped before the flood. Valoo was there to give the Ritos their wings so they wouldn't accidentally discover Hyrule.
Here in Dragon Roost lived Komali- the prince- and Medli- the dragon's attendant.
"Can't catch me!"
Medli chased Komali around Dragon Roost, darting between the stone pillars and the many Kargorocs that also populated the island.
"Oh you just wait!" Medli was gaining on Komali. It just so happened that quill was just heading back from his mail run when suddenly-
"AHHHHHHHHHHH-"
"WAIIIIIIIIIIIII-"
CRASH!
SPLASH!
Komali and Quill collided head on, and both were sent tumbling into the ocean. Medli flew down to see them, almost dying of laughter.
"Oh my god Komali, you should watch where you're going!" she chirped. Komali sputtered, trying to get the taste of salt water out of his mouth.
"Oh be quiet."
Letters floated all around and Quill surfaced.
"Komali! What are you doing?" he said, rubbing his head.
"Oh, Medli was just chasing me." Quill just sighed and started trying to save the letters. "Sorry…"
Komali dragged himself out of the water and shook the water out of his feathers. Medli laughed.
"Now your feathers are gonna be all poofy!"
"Yeah, oh well."
Quill finished getting all the letters and swam to shore.
"You'll be in trouble if I lost any of my letters, Komali." Quill said, shaking the water off and marching back to Dragon Roost.
"Sorry!" Komali called after him, before turning and pushing Medli into the water.
SPLASH!
"HEYYYY!"
"HAHAHAHAHA…" Komali turned and ran for his life before Medli could turn him into Rito-pulp.
Komali had hid at the summit of Dragon Roost, where Valoo sat, and hoped Medli wouldn't find him. Medli wasn't pretty when she was mad.
Valoo mumbled something, but Komali couldn't understand his language.
"Sorry Valoo, but I have no idea what you're saying.
"He's saying that there's a storm coming."
Komali turned around to face Medli. Medli was dry, and she smirked.
"Thought I'd find you here, incase you haven't noticed, you hide up here every time I'm mad at you." She leaned against Valoo. "You should come inside; the wind could blow you off the mountain."
"Ahh, don't worry, I'll be fine. Sides, I'm sure my dad won't be too happy when he finds out that I crashed into Quill…" Komali sighed.
The wind blew harder. Storms were particularly dangerous for Ritos since the wind could catch their wings and blow them around easily like they were nothing but feathers. Komali didn't know that since he had only recently gotten his wings, but Medli did.
"Please, Komali, before we get blown off."
"I told you, I'm- AHHHHHHHHHHH!"
A strong gust of wind blew and caught the two young Ritos, sending them flying off Dragon Roost.
"MEDLI! HELP ME!" Komali struggled to keep control of his flying, but the wind was too strong. It carried them out to sea and dumped them in the ocean. A Rito couldn't fly when his wings were wet.
"KOMALI! WHERE ARE YOU?" Medli yelled while trying to find something to hold on to.
"Medli," Komali said as he surfaces. "I'm right here!" He swam over to her. "Where are we?"
The looked around. Dragon Roost- or any sign of land for that matter- was nowhere in sight.
"I'm sorry I didn't listen to you!" Komali said. Medli shook her head.
"No, don't worry, we're gonna be fine! A boat's bound to come by sooner or later!"
It started to rain.
"Medli… I'm scared."
Suddenly, Komali was pulled under by something.
"Komali?" Medli looked around. He was gone. She worried that a gyorg had gotten him. She took a deep breath, and looked underwater.
A giant octorok had Komali, and there were things swimming around it. Medli looked closer, trying to see what they were. Her eyes widened.
"Zoras!" she thought.
The Zoras swam around, distracting the octorok, and one of them grabbed the now-unconscious Komali from it's grasp.
One swam up to Medli and dragged her under the surface. Medli tried to pull away, but the Zora didn't let go. She ran out of air, breathed in water, and fell unconscious.
