Fellow Americans, remember to donate to aid efforts for the people of East Palestine, Ohio if you can. We all know the government won't give them the help they need.

Kronya didn't know where she was going. All she knew was that the Rising Sun Company was going north, so she was going south.

Traveling in Hyrule was harder solo. She didn't have a Korok pouch, or any other bag. All she had were her dagger, her canteen, a piece of flint, and her Poe Cloak. It was entirely possible that if she hadn't happened to be wearing it when the Raven attacked, she would have died before she reached civilization. As it stood, she had a few close calls.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of food in Hyrule. Living off the land might not have been enjoyable, but it would keep her alive.

She had been found the road leading southwest and had been following it for four days. Finally, she had come across civilization. It wasn't much, just a trading post, but she didn't care. Hopefully, it was somewhere she could stay for the time being. Maybe she could find a convoy headed back to Kakariko Village and join the Sheikah Tribe.

She didn't bother wearing her disguise. The Hylians didn't know anything about the Agarthans. They wouldn't care. Sure enough, while she got her fair share of curious looks, there was no hostility in them.

"Well, well, well! Never thought I'd see a Twili in person!" one of the Hylians said. Kronya searched her memory for the word. Twili was...the race Princess Midna was, the one who had helped one of the previous heroes of Hyrule.

"I thought the Twili couldn't be out in the sun," another said.

Right, that was part of the story. "They can't," Kronya said. "But I'm not a full-blooded Twili." Technically, it wasn't a lie.

"Well, what's your business here?" someone asked her.

"I had a falling out with my traveling companions, and I don't have any money or anywhere to stay," Kronya said.

"Well, as long as it wasn't because you were trying to rob your friends, I think we can figure something out," the trading post's head man said.

"No, that wasn't why we fell out," Kronya said.

"Alright then," the head man said.

Kronya stayed at the Tabantha Trading Post for three days. It was a nice place, and she had genuinely considered staying there longer. But she ultimately decided against it. There was simply too much at stake. Besides, Kronya didn't think she was fit for a simple life. She wouldn't even know what to do with it.

One of the villagers at the trading post had offered Kronya rupees to awaken a Great Fairy at a nearby Fairy Fountain. Kronya had agreed, figuring that the Great Fairy might know what she could do next.

There were two Guardians on the other side of the bridge across the Tanagar Canyon. Given that Kronya no longer had a Korok Pouch to carry her supplies, she had to make do with an ordinary pack, which made sneaking past them hard, even with the use of what Sheikah arts she knew. After that, she had to climb partially up Piper Ridge.

But she was at the fountain now, and had handed over the rupees to the Great Fairy. Now the Fairy, Kaysa, had emerged from the fountain.

"My name is Kronya," Kronya introduced herself to Kaysa.

"Yes, I know who you are," Kaysa acknowledged. "I know I had a gift for you, where did I...ah, here it is." She placed a chest in front of Kronya, which Kronya opened to find a wooden boomerang.

"...Thanks," Kronya said hesitantly.

"Oh, this is no ordinary boomerang," Kaysa assured her. "This is a Gale Boomerang. Several Heroes of Hyrule used ones like it."

"I'll test it out later," Kronya said. "I need some advice."

"I guessed as much," Kaysa acknowledged.

Kronya explained her situation, and Kaysa thought for a moment. "Perhaps there is another way that you can help the Rising Sun Company. What problems could you potentially solve for them?"

Kronya thought for a bit. "I can't get the sword that seals the darkness for them. I don't know where it is. I can't deal with the Divine Beast in Gerudo Desert. I don't have a weapon that could harm a Blight Ganon."

"Any other ideas?" Kaysa asked.

"Not re...wait. Astor, Wizzro, and the Yiga Clan! I could deal with them!" Kronya realized. "But...I can't handle them on my own. I'm good, but not that good."

"Is there anyone who could help you?" Kaysa asked.

"There's the Sheikah, but I don't know if there are enough of them who can fight," Kronya said. "There's Farosh, but she's all the way over at Riola Spring, and going there without a Sheikah Slate would take too long."

"Maybe, but Dinraal lives not that far from here," Kaysa suggested. "Her home is somewhere in Tanagar Canyon."

"That's perfect!" Kronya exclaimed. "I'll find her, then I'll find the Yiga Clan's hideout, and we can put a stop to their assassination attempts! Thanks for the intel!"

On her way back, she encountered the Guardians again. This time, she didn't try to hide from them. Instead, she threw her newly-acquired Gale Boomerang at such an angle that it passed beneath them both.

The nearer Guardian was tipped on its side, while the further one fell into the canyon. Kronya approached the prone Guardian and stabbed it in the eye, destroying it.

Looking over the cliff, Kronya saw that the other Guardian had been destroyed by the fall.

With a sense of purpose, Kronya began descending the cliff into the canyon.
