"Make sure you all eat well," Zelda reminded the group, "we have a long journey ahead of us and we need our strength"
"Why do we all have to go?" Revali complained, "You can't possibly need everyone. The Thunder Helm can't protect all of us from the storm at once"
Zelda's anger flared, but she managed to reply kindly. "Vah Naboris has created another sandstorm, so I need you to get me close and shut it down. It is important that all of you are familiar with each Divine Beast in case something goes wrong"
Revali cast an annoyed glance but didn't say anything more. Deep down, everyone knew how crucial it was to have the Divine Beasts in proper working order before Calamity Ganon rose to conquer Hyrule.
With the quest to calm Vah Naboris weighing on their minds, Link, Zelda, Revali, Mipha, Daruk, and Urbosa finished their meal in silence. All that could be heard was the slight clinking of plates and chewing as each individual prepared for the long trip.
Zelda knew the walk would be long and hot, so she drank as much water as she could. The crew had opted not to ride sand seals because Daruk was afraid of them and Revali refused to let anything but the wind carry him. Although Zelda was annoyed by the choice to make their trip longer, she was excited to have a chance to add new specimens to her compendium and conduct research along the way. It was still before midday, so she had plenty of time to get everything done before the group's planned return at nightfall. The walk was supposed to take three hours, which gave them enough time to spend a few hours with Vah Naboris before making the trek home.
After everyone had finished eating and secured their gear, the group stood and looked out at the desert underneath their tent. The desert stretched out before them like a carpet, with Vah Naboris' sandstorm looming over the horizon, a menacing cloud beckoning to them. Zelda felt wary of the storm, but she didn't let it show in her stance.
"Let's go" she commanded.
Link blinked at her once, then began to walk, the others following suit.
The quest to fix Vah Naboris had begun.
