Tying Up Loose Ends

Link, now entitled to his new name, cannot settle down just yet. Just as he informed the Zoras, the King charged him with a duty to inform the other major provenances as well. Mainly for the reason that the other Leaders would be able to know Link was actually alive but starting anew. The newly named Razalak decides to head to the Eldin Region and speak with the Goron Chief. A harsh journey that causes him to take many breaks along the way due to the extreme heat. Since the Calamity was destroyed the Monsters were no longer embedded with its dark powers, leaving the creatures much weaker than before. This proved critical, since Razalak was also drained of his Goddesses Protection. Razalak thought it best to just avoid any monsters he saw, but still ran into a couple of Lizalfos. The Lizalfos can camouflage with their surroundings, so it was easy to spring a trap on unsuspecting travelers.

As Razalak was walking down the trail to the South Goron Mine, 2 Lizalfos sprung a trap jumping out surrounding Raz. Knowing he had no other option than to fight he drew his Silver Zora Sword and Shield and began to analyze the situation. The Lizal in front of him held a shield and a Forked Lizal Sword, the one behind held a Pronged Lizal spear. Raz thought it would be better to rush the one with the spear so he wouldn't stab him as he was fighting the other in close range combat. With but a few seconds gone by, Raz made the first move. Raz suddenly did a powerful kickback, flipping around and facing the Lizal with a spear. He charged at the Lizal clashing his sword against the tip of the spear, causing the spear to point away from himself. He then began sliding his sword down the spear's shaft, he deeply cut the Lizalfos' hand causing it to release its grip and screech. The other Lizalfos didn't just sit there idly standing by, it rushed to take a deep stab into Razalak's back. Razalak quickly shifted his weight to the right as fast as possible and snached the Lizal's arm, causing the Lizal to plunge its sword into the other Lizal's gut. The lizal with the gashed stomach fell to the ground and quickly died in excruciating pain.

The living Lizal raises its head and looks at Razalak in horror. Raz still holding its hands, rotate the hands to his left and upwards slashes the Lizal, which leads to its decapitation.

The swift battle with the Lizalfos left Raz exhausted. He makes his way to the southern mine and continues to the heart of the Goron City. Raz looked around but could not find the Chief. Yunobo; the descendant of Daruk, and the chief's son, sees Raz and says,

"Link! It's been a while." Tears rolling down his cheeks he continues" The Boss.. he died the other night… We thought he was getting better because his back pains stopped.."

Following that remark the two make their way to Yunobo's chambers and proceed to talk, Yunobo spoke first,

"When i looked towards the Castle the other day i didn't see that evil looking smog. Has the Calamity been defeated Link?"

Razalak then explained what happened and about him wanting to start a new life. Yunobo seemed a bit confused that the Hylian was willing to go far enough as renaming himself, but was happy regardless.

After the meeting in Eldin, Razalak made his way to Hebra through all the snow. He didn't spend much time here and didn't have any real attachments to the town, he stayed for only a single night after speaking with the Leader. Lastly he made his way to the Gerudo Desert. Razalak equipped himself with the Desert Voe Garments and started his journey to the Gerudo Village.

Through the hot sandy desert, his skin seemed to boil in the sun. Razalak rests himself at the Desert Resort for one night then heads to his final destination. At the gates of the Gerudo Village, Raz stops himself in front of the two gate guards. Kneeling down and with the treasured Thunder Helm in his right arm, he asks for an audience with her highness Princess Riju. The guards baffled that a mere Voe would have the treasured Thunder Helm in his arm, they sought out Buliara; the right hand woman to the princess. Buliara, knowing who it is set up a meeting with Razalak, but since Voe are not allowed in the city, the meeting was to be held at the Desert Resort; in a guarded room.

During the meeting Razalak presented and returned the Thunder Helm, he thanked Princess Riju and told her the story;

"The Hero Vanquished the Calamity and we now have peace in our time. However, during the Epic battle that ensued, the hero received a mortal wound which caused him to lose his life. The hero lived, fought and died bravely for the Kingdom of Hyrule. I Razalak, the messenger assure you of the truthfulness of this story."

The two talk for a few more minutes and she understands what happened. The meeting ends and the Princess heads to her own city, Raz climbs up to the top of the tallest building in the small resort, and ponders for a while. Raz is now free to go and live his life as he pleases and not for the good of the world. He thought of returning to Hyrule castle, but quickly stopped himself. He waits a while and then starts to get up for his long journey home. Raz glances back and sees the smiles of the Gerudo Vai as the Princess tells her people of the news.
