Professor Higgins and Sophia stand out on the white cliffs watching the eternal sunset.

"Where shall we go now," Professor Higgins questions.

"Wherever the wind takes us now that you don't have a vendetta against the citizens of Frostborn anymore."

"I hear there's a cozy fishing lodge up north nestled between two peaks. So, it's a reasonably secluded location with a lot of fun activities awaiting us. We could go there to spend some time together."

"Thank you. I would like that very much."

"Your welcome, Sophia, and you don't have to lay off the kindness. You just keep being your usual self."

"Your wish is my command, father. You are my creator, after all. I shall follow you to the ends of the earth, or that's what it at least says in my code."

"Oh ho ho, Sophia, you never change... Please don't ever change."

"All aboard," The Conductor bellows.

You and Riju swiftly board the train, careful not to leave any of your precious valuables behind. Suddenly, a familiar face lunges out at you.

It's the same mug as the bird boy Tobias.

"Coming through," he yells, loading a sturdy suitcase onto the convoy.

"Tobias, what in the world are you doing. I thought you lived here, and I don't see your parents around."

"I'm coming with you guys."

"What!?"

"Just think about it. With the monsters you are dealing with, you guys definitely need a second hand."

"We already have that covered. Link's already my second in command."

• You nudge Riju in the shoulder.

"I... I mean first."

"Still, you guys know as well as I do that the road ahead isn't a simple one. That's why we need all the help we can get. We have to trust and rely on one another. That's the only way you can defeat that sinister lady, Rubaru."

"I don't know. I don't know if I'm comfortable bringing a kid along. And what about your parents? They're way too overprotective to let you go that easily."

"Yeah, but they know I have a calling in life. They know I've always had a knack for adventure. Sooner or later, I'm going to leave the nest. This is my one opportunity to experience the world and follow my dreams of adventuring. They understood that."

"I'm not saying yes, but... ugh, whatever, just don't get too excited."

"Oh, Riju, you really mean it. Thank you so so so so so much. I'm eternally in your debt."

"I told you not to get too excited. You'll probably just be our weapon holder for the time being."

"Sure, anything to assist the skillful knight, Link, and the wise warrior, Riju."

The group of three head back to their cabin, eager to see the train depart. Tobias shares a quick tear with Frostborn before being whisked away to the tracks beyond. The proud citizens of Frostborn wave to you for saving their beloved city.

Meanwhile,

"How are the arrangements going with the mad doctor? Is his work up to your delightfully high standards, miss?" Scudwell details.

"Nope, it seems he's broken contact with me. I knew this would happen. He's far too weak to be worthy of relying on. I bet he and his daughter are out on a jolly good stroll taking in the atmosphere and all the lush greenery. What a bunch of frivolous fools dancing around like neanderthals. Ugh, it makes me sick to my stomach," The malicious monarch sulks, stirring her drink.

"I'm sorry to hear that milady, I hope our next contact actually stands a chance this time."

"Don't worry, Scudwell. I'm planning to crank the next villain up a notch or two. In fact, the next fearsome foe is an old friend of mine"

"That's good to hear. I do hope our plan goes as smoothly as you would like it, Mistress Rubaru. Let's strive for a future where we can expect to see Zelda and all the inhabitants of Hyrule castle in chains."

"Indeed, I would like that future very much. Especially a future where I can see that worthless wench Zelda in my clutches."
