Chapter 1: Rauru Lighthouse

As the waves moved across the Great Sea like grass on an open plain, a small red-and-white ship with a single sail rode on top of them. This ship was called King of Red Lions after the legendary boat of the same name that had accompanied the Heroine of the Wind a century ago. The one who was steering the King of Red Lions was a young girl with blonde hair tied into short pigtails, sparkling blue eyes, and wearing a green-hooded tunic over a white top, brown skirt, along with long leather boots and short gloves. Every now and then, the girl looked down at a compass that hung around her neck on a gold chain. Its golden surface shimmered in the sunlight, reflecting the image of a bird with the Triforce inside.

The girl's vision went dark and then when her eyes adjusted she noticed that the sky had grown dark and the waves had grown higher. Then as she tried to turn the King of Red Lions around, her vision blacked out again. She then found herself sailing toward a small point of light in the distance, but the waves had become dangerously high. Unable to avoid them, the girl was forced to abandon her little ship as a wave overtook it. Swimming toward the light, the girl noticed that the waves were becoming increasingly calmer.

Eventually, the waves stopped altogether and the girl found herself staring up at a giant lighthouse with stone steps leading up to it. Torches were lit along stone railings, which the girl grabbed onto. Once she did that, the girl ascended the stone steps till she was standing at the entrance to the lighthouse. It was an open glass door with a mosaic pattern of an old man wearing a dark orange robe and a yellow disc behind his head. Along the top of the door were several words written in the language of the Great Sea that spelled out 'Rauru Lighthouse: The Beacon that Leads to the City of Oshus'.

Stepping into the foyer of the lighthouse, the girl looked around and shouted, "Hello? Is anyone here?"

It was then that the girl noticed a thing at the center of the lighthouse that resembled a large box only it was covered in thin metal bars with an already open door. There was a sign next to the door that said, 'Lighthouse Elevator' so the girl assumed that the box was the elevator. Stepping into the elevator, the girl noticed a big round button and pressed it. To her surprise, the elevator moved down thanks to a metal chain that dragged it downward at a slow but steady pace. Along the way, she saw carvings on the wall of a woman holding a sword.

Once the elevator stopped, the door opened on its own and the girl stepped out. There were more stairs and a banner that said, 'Rediscover the Past. Embrace the Future'. Ignoring the banner, the girl descended the stairs and found herself standing in front of a strange sort of vehicle.

It had a round shape with a hollow interior that contained cushioned seats, a panel with several levers, and glass windows. Stepping into it, the girl noticed a round metal door close behind her. Trapped inside, she heard a faint humming and then the vehicle submerged beneath the water. She tried to open the round metal door, which had an attached wheel, but it wouldn't budge. None of the levers worked either, and then she pressed something that caused an image to appear on a small screen located beside the door. The image consisted of a small round man with purple hair that resembled horns and a long trailing robe of the same color with red trousers and leather black shoes.

"If you have gotten this far, then you're already on your way to Oshus," said the little man though his face never moved. "What you are traveling in is called a Sea Gondola, a small vessel capable of transporting people underwater. It is one of the many wonders that the City of Oshus has to offer with myself, Mayor Dotora, at its helm."

As the little man spoke, the small round vehicle swung over a large trench which revealed a pair of cables attached to a line of metallic poles that were pulling the vehicle along. But what interested the girl more was a group of large glass pyramids at the bottom of the trench with buildings inside them.

"I built this city head to toe with my bare hands many years ago as a refuge from the dull simpletons that plague the surface world," Dotora's image said. "We were once a greater people, before the Goddesses came and destroyed the land that was once Hyrule. With your help we can restore this kingdom to its former glory from down here, away from the prying eyes of the superstitious feeble-minded folk above. In a few moments, you will be arriving at the Oshus Transit Station where you may have the privilege to take Sea Gondolas to any part of the city for it is yours to enjoy so long as you stay and contribute to our cause."

Then with that, Dotora's image vanished from the screen. The Sea Gondola dipped downward until it leveled out to the tops of the pyramids. The cables led to a smaller glass pyramid that stood on a wide metal pole that went all the way down to the bottom of the trench which had several cables emerging from its sides. Approaching the southern side, the Sea Gondola came to a circular metal door with three triangles forming a single triangle on its front. It was then that a small device attached to a hook near the main glass window started humming as muffled voices spoke from it.

"Why is there a Sea Gondola coming from this side? Did it come from the Rauru Lighthouse Station?" asked one voice, belonging to a man.

"That can't be! Dotora shut that line down a year ago to keep people from leaving," said another man in response.

"Well, we'd better let the Gondola in and see who's inside," said the voice.

"Please do," said a third man, whose voice sounded friendly but also very stern. "It might be someone important."
