Yay, chapter 3! This could possibly the last chapter I write on this computer cause I might actually have to start doing Media in Media Studies or I'll fail! Oh well. I'll try to sneak some writing in. This chapter is just off the top of my head, not written out first, so it might be abit awkward sounding- like chapter 1… ONWARD!
PS- For KRP- Mikal told them, but that's not why they're stuck there, it's cause they know that Zoras exist, and if the Zoras hadn't saved them (they're very 'nice' Zoras) then Komali and Medli would've been dead, and then what? Hmmm… And this has almost nothing to do with the plot of Wind Waker, so it's not before or after.
PPS- I took stuff from Majora's Mask too. Don't kill me with pointy objects please.

Chapter 3
There's No Place Like Home
…
"You won't be going home." Mikal finally said. "You now know our secret, and if the gods catch wind of our existence, they'll turn us all to stone." He turned to face Medli. "And I can't allow that."
Those words rang through the courtyard, and the two Ritos stared at Mikal, stunned.
"But we have to go home!" Medli yelled. "What will the tribe think? And what about Komali? He's the prince; he's supposed to lead us one day!"
Mikal sighed. He knew this was going to happen.
"I'm really sorry, but the safety of my people matters more to me then anything else." Mikal stood up. "There is no way to escape, we're miles underwater… so you should get used to it." And with that, he left Medli and Komali sitting there in the middle of the courtyard.
Medli sighed. "We have to figure out how to get home Komali…"
"Why won't they let us go home? We won't tell anyone!" Komali stood up, and flew after Mikal. Mikal turned around.
"Do you have a question, Komali?"
"Yeah, will you let us go if we promise not to tell anyone?" Komali asked hopefully. Mikal thought for a second, then shook his head.
"No. I don't see why it's so bad, you're not going to be treated as prisoners, you can do whatever you want-"
"But what about the other Ritos? They'll be wondering where we are!"
"Yes, I know. They'll probably just leave you for dead."
Komali knew that Mikal wasn't trying to be mean, but he was being mean to them anyways. The tribe would leave them for dead, but they weren't dead. How could he get a message to them from all the way across the ocean, not to mention from miles underwater? It seemed unlikely that it would ever reach them even if he did get a message out.
Medli flew over beside Komali, and landed.
"How exactly do you guys get all your food?" she asked. Mikal stood up straighter.
"Once every week, we send out a group of Zoras to catch fish. I am the leader of that group." He said. "Anymore questions?"
"No, that's all." Medli said, bowing. Komali looked at her strangely. She looked quite cheerful for someone who had just been sentenced to live underwater for the rest of her life.
"Very well then, make yourselves comfortable. We will have a room ready for you; I'll send Rapas to get you when it's ready." Mikal said as he walked away.
After Mikal was out of earshot, Komali turned to Medli.
"Why are you so happy?" he asked.
"Can't you see Komali; we do have a way to escape." She looked around. "I'll tell you later though, so noone will hear us."
"Okay."
It was about an hour later when a strange looking Zora walked up to the two Ritos, who had made themselves comfortable sitting by one of the many pools in the great hall. Instead of one fin coming out of the back of his head, he had two that fell from his face, almost like bangs. He was a lighter blue then Mikal, and was carrying a guitar on his back.
"Hey, you two must be the two… uhhh… oh man, Mikal just told me a minute ago…"
"Ritos?" Medli asked. The Zora snapped his fingers.
"Yeah, that's right. 'Ree-tos'… Well, nice to meet you," At this point he shook Medli's hand, "My name is Rapas."
"Is our room ready?"
"Yeah, and you're lucky! Your room is on the highest floor, next to Kevin's. He's the band leader."
"Band leader?" asked Komali.
"Yeah, the leader of the Indigo-gos." Rapas flicked his 'hair'. "Actually, the whole band lives up there. I live up there. Heck, so do Mikal and Ruru. And T.J. too, can't forget T.J.! It was the only room we had that could hold two people that's empty, so you're living up there with us. Sweet, huh?"
Medli looked at Komali. Komali shrugged.
"…Sure."
…
It took awhile to get all the way up to the top floor taking the stairs, and Komali and Medli wished that they could've just flown to the top, but Rapas couldn't fly, so instead they walked up the hundreds of stairs to the top.
"So," Rapas said, breaking the uncomfortable silence of the Ritos. "Why were you out in the middle of the ocean anyways?"
Medli waited awhile before answering.
"Well, there was a storm, and the wind carried us away from our island… and well, you can't fly when your feathers are wet." She sighed. "That just happened to be the place where you guys were fishing, huh?"
"Yeah… calamari!" Rapas laughed. "Octoroks are so good, especially if fresh caught… Do you want some? It's free!" Medli grinned nervously, and Komali started coughing.
"No, it's okay…" Medli shook her head. "Ritos aren't very fond of octorok."
…
The room they were given was bigger then a room for two people usually was, but the two Ritos weren't complaining. Two giant beds made of shells were placed in the corners, and the walls were decorated with all sorts of seaweed and fish bones. Bones. It seemed that Zoras could make anything out of bones. Medli just hoped that there weren't any Rito bones on the walls.
"If you need anything, you can ask anyone," Rapas said before leaving. ", even Ruru. Don't worry, she'll listen. Oh, and by the way, you can come see me anytime, I'm on the other side of the cave… look for the door with my name on it." And with that, he closed the door, leaving the Ritos alone.
"So," Komali said after a few seconds. "What's your plan?"
"Well, you know how-"
Rapas opened the door again. Medli almost had a heart attack.
"Oh and one more thing- don't ever- I mean EVER- tell Mikal that I told you that the octorok was free." Rapas grinned, and closed the door again. Medli waited a few seconds before continuing.
"Well, you know how they got into Hyrule by the river…"
…
HAHAHA I AM TORTURING YOU ALL WITH CLIFFHANGERS- although I don't think that was a cliffhanger. Oh well. Here's the Zora ancestral-thing I promised last chapter.
Mikal- Descendent of Mikau- Oo how did he get into Hyrule?
Ruru- Descendant of Ruto… and no, Link did not actually marry Ruto.
Rapas- Descendent of Japas… Man, what's with all these Terminians in Hyrule? Weird.
T.J.- Descendent of Tijo… you know, the fat drummer Zora.
Kevin- Descendent of- you guessed it- Evan! Haha!
Apparently all the members of the Indigo-gos followed Skull Kid into Hyrule… cept Lulu, she died. That turtle ate her.
Well, that's it for this chapter- Chapter 4 possibly up soon! Yay!
