Upon looking at the map in the morning, the group realized that the trip to the Gerudo Desert would involved a lot of back tracking, they decided to continue eastward to complete the map of the area. The group followed the road through the Finra Woods into the Pagos Woods. Soon they made through the Sarion Woods and saw the map tower on the other side of river that ran along side the road.

"Alright so how do we get him up there?" asked Pyle.

Mipha rubbed her chin. "Teba could you carry Link up there?

Link looked at the tower. No platforms like the others.

"The difficulty is high due to the lack of wind," Teba replied. "But I can."

"It would be difficult to climb," Link stated. "But it is possible."

"Just have Teba carry you," Bargoh said. "It'll be faster."

"There isn't a good place to take off from here," Teba stated, "and I would be going up with twice the weight."

"So that would make it difficult for you," Rhomson said. "Perhaps the climbing option would be best."

"Other towers have had platforms to rest," Link replied. "I can do it but it would be hard."

Hudson rubbed his chin. "You know...when constructing a building you need to get the frame work down first."

Pyle sneered. "What does that have to do with this?"

"Which means you need to build supports in order to keep the building from falling," Hudson continued, "so that is what we need to do."

Rhomson smiled. "Make a ladder for Link to get part way up...not a bad idea."

"We don't have time for you to build a ladder," Bargoh argued.

"He isn't talking about actually building a ladder," Rhomson groaned.

"If Pyle and Bargoh be the base," Hudson stated, "and we go up from there. We can get Link most of the way up there."

"A creature totem pole?" asked Gaddison.

Rhomson nodded.

"I'll go next," Hudson said.

Pyle put up his hand. "Hold on hold on...we haven't agreed to this."

Bargoh nodded.

"The longer you argue the longer it takes," Rivan spoke with a smug smirk.

"Yup," Gaddison said.

Pyle groaned as Bargoh sighed.

The group backtracked a little to find a crossing point. When they arrived at the tower, Pyle and Bargoh stood side by side at the base of the tower. Hudson stood on top of their shoulders. He gripped the tower to help stablize.

"So who goes next?" asked Link.

"We want the heaviest ones on the bottom," Mipha said.

Rhomson smirked. "I guess that would be me." She climbed up the Gorons and Hudson. She set herself on top of Hudson's shoulders.

"You good?" asked Hudson.

"Yup," Rhomson replied.

Hudson lifted his head to check on her but stopped before he made completely looked up. He shot his gaze downward with a blush on his face.

Rivan cracked his neck. "I'm next." He climbed up to the top of the totem pole.

Gaddison quietly climbed up after he was settled. Rivan blushed brightly as Gaddison climbed over him.

"Sorry," she apologized.

"You are fine," Rivan replied.

Gaddison settled and grabbed the tower for stability. "I'm set!"

Midna patrolled around the tower.

"That leaves Link and myself," Mipha stated.

"What about Teba?!" shouted Pyle.

The totem pole shifted.

"Hey don't move down there!" Rhomson said.

"This is hard enough without you two arguing!" Rivan shouted.

"Just in case Link falls," Mipha explained, "I want Teba, who is the only one of us who can fly, to be ready to catch him."

Teba nodded. "Understood." Teba slowly took to the skies.

Mipha began her climb up the totem pole. Soon she reached the top, together they made it just over half way up.

Link took a deep breath and began his climb up the totem pole. Saying various of 'excuse me' and 'sorry' as he climbed. Soon he reached Mipha and got on her shoulders. He gripped the tower and began his climb up.

"Is he on?" asked Hudson.

"Look up and see," Rhomson said.

Hudson blushed. She is wearing pants so it should be fine.

He looked up. "Oh there he goes."

"Will you two knock it off!" Pyle shouted.

"Don't make me come down there!" Rhomson replied.

The totem pole shifted.

"Everyone calm down," Mipha stated.

Link continued to climb up the tower. Inch by inch, his stamina drained but pulled up each time. He reached the top and pulled himself up. He laid there to catch his breath.

"Made it!" Link called out.

Teba soared to the top and landed next to him. "You alright?"

Link smiled. "Yeah...just need...to catch...my breath."

Mipha began her climb down the totem pole with everyone followed suit after word.

Hudson looked up. "I'm glad that worked as well as it did."

"Are you saying that might have failed?" asked Bargoh.

"Well normally we would have to keep our balance on our own," Hudson replied. "That tower really helped us."

Link glided down with Teba. As they landed, Midna approached them and wagged her tail.

Link smiled. "Thanks for keeping watch."

Midna barked in response.

"Can we get back on the road?" asked Pyle.

Mipha nodded. "We should. Our next stop is the Lakeside Stable."

They crossed the river and began traveling in two groups. They arrived at the stable in the late afternoon.

"Damn this is taking forever!" shouted Pyle.

Rhomson sighed. "We really should have gotten some horses back at the previous stable."

"Yes we should have," Bargoh said.

Rivan clenched his fist. "Well they didn't have any for sale. We needed to catch some on our own."

"None of us know how to do that," Hudson said. "Those folks at the stable could have taught us."

"Why didn't they?" asked Link.

Mipha shifted her weight.

Rivan looked over and sighed. "Doesn't matter. Let's see if this one will be useful."

Gaddison frowned. "Helpful."

Rivan flinched. "Right...that is what meant."

Rhomson smirked. "Sure."

"Allow me to talk to them," Hudson said.

"Are you sure?" asked Mipha.

Hudson smiled. "Yup. Leave this to me." He walked up to the counter.

The owner smiled. "Welcome to the Lakeside Stable. How may I help you?"

"Do you have any horses for sale?" asked Hudson with a smile.

"Yes we do," the owner replied. He looked at the group behind him. "But I'm afraid that we can't sell any to Gorons. They would crush them."

Hudson laughed. "Oh no need to worry. They can roll."

Pyle shrugged. He is right.

"Do you have enough for six?" asked Hudson.

The owner frowned. "I'm afraid we have only three available."

Hudson rubbed his chin. He smiled. "Are they strong enough to hold two?"

"Oh absolutely. Of course they won't be able to move as fast as a single rider."

"That is fine. How much?"

The owner smirked. "Five thousand rupees."

Rivan gritted his teeth. No way they are that much.

"Excuse me but that seems a bit much for three," Rhomson said as she approached.

"Please understand that they are worth every rupee," the owner replied. "After all, raising the horses isn't exactly easy work."

Hudson smiled. "Oh I suppose saving the kingdom is easier?"

The owner blinked. "What?"

Rhomson leaned on the counter. "We are traveling with the intent of saving this kingdom from the Calamity. We need a way to travel faster than on foot...it would be a shame if we couldn't get where we were going fast enough."

Hudson nodded. "Yeah. The land would be in ruins and business' all over would suffer greatly...or be dead if that were to happen."

"Didn't a stable already fall to the minions of the Calamity?" asked Rhomson.

"Yes," Hudson replied. "The Riverside Stable."

Rivers of sweat poured from the stable owner.

"But if he isn't willing to do business then there is nothing we can do," Rhomson said.

"Yeah...it's a shame," Hudson replied.

Pyle, Bargoh, Rivan, Gaddison, and Teba stared at the transaction.

"Aren't we suppose to be setting a good example?" Gaddison whispered.

"Well it's that guy's fault for being so unreasonable," Rivan replied quietly.

Pyle and Bargoh nodded.

Rhomson and Hudson walked back to the group.

"Three horses for five hundred rupees," Hudson said with a smile.

Link smiled. "Wow. Great job guys."

"Let's not make a habit out of this you two," Mipha said while rubbing her brow.

"Why?" asked Teba. "They did a great job plus they were over charging us."

Mipha shifted her weight. "That's...not untrue."

"So are we heading back the way we came now?" asked Pyle.

"No," Mipha replied. "We need to head further east to Lurelin Village."

Bargoh rolled his eyes. "Another memory?"

"Yes but there are shrines as well," Mipha said. "There is a memory here as well as a shrine so we will be resting here for the night."

"Assuming this stable will let us," Rivan said.

"We just gave him some genuine business," Rhomson replied. "A little more is only going to help."

Hudson nodded.

Mipha approached the counter. "Do you have seven beds available?"

The owner nodded quickly. "Yes we do."

"Please do not be nervous," Mipha said. "How much?"

The owner looked over at Rhomson and Hudson, both were smirking.

"Free of charge!" shouted the owner.

Mipha sighed. "One moment please."

Mipha strolled over toward Rhomson and Hudson, and smacked the top of their heads. Both laid on the ground with swirly eyes.

Rivan smirked as Gaddison giggled.

Mipha walked back over toward the owner. "How much?"

They talked about prices before Mipha paid. Pyle and Bargoh sat by the camp fire as Teba scouted the area. Rivan and Gaddison settled in the inn portion as Rhomson and Hudson recovered.

Link, Mipha, and Midna continued toward the near by bridge and stood at the half way point.

"Take a look in your album," Mipha said.

Link took out the Slate and opened the application. He scrolled to the pictures. A picture immediately stood out to him: a scenery of waterfalls with heightened landscape around it. His eyes widened as a memory began to play.

In the memory, Link and Zelda were riding on the bridge.

"Look over there," Link called out.

Zelda half heartily gazed over toward the waterfalls. "They are pretty."

Link looked over at Zelda. "You okay?"

"...I still can't believe I let my guard down like that...getting ambushed by those Yiga."

"That was a pretty close call."

Zelda looked down at her horse. "I'm...sorry for being such a pain."

Link shook his head. "Not at all."

"I know you would rather be with Mipha right now instead, and on top of that...I was so mean to you. Even though this journey throughout the land was your idea...I was unjustly cruel to you."

"I already accepted your apology."

"I just am tired of slowing us down."

"You aren't slowing us down."

Zelda shot Link a glare. "But we have to reach our goal soon! The sooner I get to the shrines and pray the sooner I will finally awaken this power I am suppose to have."

Link softly smiled. "Remember what I told you back at the castle? When I suggested this journey to your father?"

Zelda looked away. "...yes. I still don't know what you mean by that."

"I didn't understand it at first either...until Mipha showed me the way."

"How?"

"A little bit of what we are doing now. Journeying."

A rumble shook the area. Link and Zelda looked around as the horses got riled up. Farosh emerged from over the tall land spires.

Zelda's gaze was fixated on the beast. "Incredible."

Link smiled. "Farosh...the Bolt of Courage."

Farosh glided through the air a bit before cruising down toward the water and submerging into it, causing a massive wave to wash up onto the bridge and soaking Zelda and Link.

"Ugh I can't believe this," Zelda said with a groan.

Link laughed loudly.

Zelda pouted. "What is so funny?!"

Link continued to laugh for a minute before catching his breath. "This is what I was talking about."

"What?!"

Link laughed again.

Quickly as the memory played, it ended and Link found himself back in the present.

"...I told Zelda something...but...I don't remember what."

Mipha nodded.

Link blinked. "Something...you taught me."

Another nod from Mipha.

Link turned to face her. "What was it?"

Mipha smiled. She gently placed a hand on his cheek. "Just like before, if I told you outright, it would lose its meaning and power. You will just have to remember."

Link chuckled. "You are strict."

"I know."

The two lovers shared a gentle kiss as the sun disappeared beyond the horizon.
