It was hard to tell when morning came when you can't see the sun. With guards to wake you, however, it wasn't so bad. It almost felt like home. Almost. Impa would have been the one to wake her there.
She dressed in silence, still groggy from sleep, before wandering to the carriage. Ganon helped her in, eyes following her to a lounging place. SHe seemed melancholy in her sleepiness but, really, she was just ready to get going.
"Morning," Lana said cheerily, walking hand-in-hand with Agitha.
Zelda had not seen her insect princess go to bed last night. She must have stayed up late last night talking to the true seer of the Guardians of Time. A strange pair, she supposed, but they seemed to get along.
Ganon raised a brow. "You seem cheery."
"I'm always cheery," Agitha replied.
"With a stranger," Ganon added then.
Agitha raised both shoulders, then lowered them with a happy sigh. "Maybe," she said. "But I like to think of us as two peas in a pod."
"Or two birds of a feather," Lana giggled.
Zelda and Ganon exchanged parental glances, like Agitha was their little girl making her first friend, before looking to Volga.
He gave a short laugh and smiled in spite of himself. His golden hues never left his charge. "She needed a friend," he said.
"But aren't you-" Zelda began.
"No. I'm her protector," he interrupted. "And she needed one her own age."
That Zelda could agree with. Volga looked at least ten years Lana's senior. If Lana had had other friends, then it would be no trouble. But the people here revered Lana for her position. Zelda wasn't sure the girl could call even a single soul in this town her "friend".
Lana opened the portal once more and Volga led the way out.
Outside, the sun was just climbing into the sky. Dawn had passed and the morning had come. The people of Lynna Village began to go about their daily lives, walking to their jobs or working on preparing breakfast for their families.
Without a care for what these townsfolk might think, Volga shifted to his dragon form and lowered his body to the ground so Lana cold climb on.
"Have you prepared the list?" the dragon asked.
Zelda nodded and offered Lana a piece of paper. She took it and read through the names and where they could be found.
Only then did Zelda realize there was a small problem. Volga and Lana were Labrynnian. They didn't know who was who in Hyrule. How could they?
It was then that Agitha released her newfound friend's hand and took the princess' hand in both of hers. "Zelda, will you be well with Ganon?"
"Of course," she said slowly. "Why? Where are you going?"
"Lana and I talked, and we decided it best I accompany them. I don't mind." She smiled cheerily at Zelda. "I want to help you however I can."
Zelda's lips curved upwards in a gentle smile. "You're a great help, Agitha. Thank you."
"You're welcome," she said. Agitha took Lana's hand and climbed onto Volga's back. The dragon flapped his large wings and took to the sky.
Zelda cupped her arms around her mouth so Agitha could hear her. "Where will you from here?" Agitha shouted.
"I'll come back!" she said, waving goodbye to the two. "Don't stop moving! I'll find you my own way!"
Zelda nodded and watched as the dragon disappeared in the skies. Then she turned to Ganon. "You ready to go?"
He nodded. "more than ready," he said. "To Lorule next?"
She nodded. "To Lorule."
Ganon cracked the whips and the horses headed towards the town gates. He took a right there and began to head north.
Next stop, the Nuun Highlands. And from there, to Libra, their resting spot for the night.
