Zelda slept on the question and she finally found herself with an answer. She couldn't find a place she'd never been to before. But there was someone who could. Or, rather, something. Agitha's golden butterfly. Maybe that would be enough to work.
"Hey, Sheik?" Ganon said from his makeshift bed on the floor.
"Yes?"
"We're going to Labrynna next, aren't we?"
She nodded. "The heroes of fire and time are there."
"The dragon and the mage?"
Zelda nodded. She wasn't sure what to expect. It would make sense when she met them, Zelda supposed, just as it had been with Agitha and Ashei. Zelda decided it best not to ponder over things and would just let things happen.
The door to the guest bedroom creaked open and a blonde head peeked in the room. "Are you awake?" Agitha asked.
"Yes. What is it?"
"Ashei is almost ready to go."
Zelda sat up in bed and let out a low groan. "Guess we have to get going."
"Guess so." Ganon stood and stretched. He left the room first to fetch his pants from the clothesline.
Zelda washed her face in a bowl of water Shad had provided for her. Might as well keep up some form of dignity. Even if she was a commoner on the outside, she was still the princess of Hyrule in her heart and in her blood. Once done, she walked into the common room.
Shad sat at the kitchen table, poring over a new book, while Ashei drank her morning coffee. Agitha sat on the couch, drinking a glass of Link milk kept cold by ice magic, as she told Shad all about how Hyrule's capital had changed since his departure.
"Morning, princess," Ashei said, raising a hand in greeting.
"Morning." She poured a mug of milk from their enchanted milk pot and stirred some cinnamon into it. Zelda took a sip and walked to the window. Two horses were loaded and ready to search the woods.
Ashei cleaned the coffee pot and mug in another bowl of water. Shad held his book under his arm as he followed his wife's lead. Now that Zelda and her two heroes were awake, there was no reason for any of them to stay much longer.
"Did you think of anything, Sheik?"
Zelda nodded. "A golden butterfly helped me find Agitha. I thought perhaps the same butterfly could do the same."
"A butterfly? You're joking, yeah?" Ashei asked. Clearly, she was the skeptical type.
But Shad nodded his head in recognition. "She's not, though they aren't called golden butterflies. The proper term is goddess butterfly. They can help you find anything you want."
"As long as you ask nicely," Agitha chimed in. "After all, insects have feelings too."
Zelda wasn't so sure about that, but she did know about the power of Agitha's insect army. If all she had to do to find a place in the woods was ask a butterfly for a help, that was a small price to pay. Zelda would eagerly do it.
Shad pushed his glasses up his face. "But where would we find such a butterfly? They're especially rare here in Ordon.'
"Not to worry," Agitha said. "I have a couple of my own."
Shad's eyes widened with surprise. "But how did you find such unique specimens?"
"I'm the princess of insects," Agitha said as if it explained it all. It must have, since Agitha didn't say any more and Shad didn't ask any more.
Ashei opened the door, threw her bag on her back, and then handed her husband his bag. He placed his book inside it and headed out into the morning mist. They got on their horses as Zelda's group followed their lead, getting into the carriage. It seemed Ashei had brought the Gerudo stallions and their carriage here earlier that day. Shad certainly didn't seem able to do such a thing.
Agitha removed a bottle from her wicker basket and twisted the cork lid open. One butterfly flew out, and Agitha extended a finger for it. The golden butterfly perched there, glittering like polished ore, and looked at Agitha expectantly. Or as much so as a butterfly could.
"Little Miss Butterfly, we need to find an ancient temple here in Ordon. It's supposed to be in the woods, and we can't find it alone. We truly need you."
The butterfly must have understood what Agitha said, because it took flight. It flew ahead of the running horses and carriage, but made sure they were always within following distance, just as the butterfly had done when it led Zelda and Ganon to Agitha's house for the first time.
