[Anxiety Riddled NERD]

Link heeded Ravio's caution with a firm nod, ready to take on the next challenge that lies within. Placing the shikah slate onto the shrine pedestal, they repeated the same process as before to return back underground.

The elevated platform, leading them down to the shrine floor. They were immediately met with another pedestal holding the key to another rune, and to the right of it a leadge that looked unscalable. Water ran down it and into a small bank below.

Coming up to the pedestal, Link obtained the next piece of the puzzle for the shikah slate. Cryonis, the ability to create pillars of ice in water. The ability allows him to traverse large bodies of water with newfound ease. Using the new ability, Link was able to make a large pillar of ice on the side of the small waterfall and was able to climb to the top.

 

[Rand AlThor]

Ravio looked surprised to see an application of this power, he'd follow Link as the hero made the large ice pillars and would climb up the same ice pillar too. Before at last, they'd enter a new room, with the floor covered in a thin film of water. In front of them was a gate, the shrine required Link to make use of his Cryosis power to open up the gate and progress through.

Whereupon if they got through it, they'd find another guardian on the other side in another room

 

[Anxiety Riddled NERD]

The next room was a small narrow hall, something about it looked familiar to Link like it was like somewhere he's seen before but it only causing impotent sparks in his memory. There in front of them, was a gate purposely placed above a small channel of water. Using the rune once more, Link creates another ice pillar that lifts up the gate with ease allowing them to squeeze through.

The same machine from before was awaiting their arrival in the next room. This time, water was everywhere in the large room, hinting at the idea of using the cryonis blocks for cover against the machine's beams. Instead of doing what he did before to defeat the machine. Link instead placed a cryonis block in front of it, scaled it and started shooting it with arrows, rarely missing it's eye from his advantage point.

Overwhelmed and unable to attack, Link made quick work of the machine. Link obtained another weapon through another chest nearby by doing the same repeating pattern with the rune. Inside was a spear, another weapon and with that Link proceeded with the next puzzle. Placing an ice block on the right side of the large measuring scale like contraption they were able to walk up the new ramp path and make it to Keh Namut, who gave them their next spirit orb.

And the two of them were brought out from the shrine and into the world, behind them the shrine slumbered for it had been completed. Ravio shook his head and looked at Link, "There's one more shrine left to go, hero. It'll be the most dangerous one yet, are you ready for it?" He asked him. On the peaks of the mountain, a great gust of cold wind blew onto them.

 

[Anxiety Riddled NERD]

The light outside was even more blinding, the snow reflecting the sun's rays not helping much. Sheilding his eyes and nodding firmly to his colleague, Link listened as the slow hum from the now slumbering shine laid low and faint. It was almost calming, but that feeling was short lived when the hylian suddenly felt a gust of cold air so cold one would be convinced that ice shards were in the air. Shivering rather violently suddenly, Link struggled to imagine how it would have felt have Ravio had not had the jumpsuits. Link began his way down the mountain with haste a little too hasty slipping a few times and almost falling even more.

 

[Rand AlThor]

The two travelers moved through the shrine, down the mountain, and across the fields. Careful to avoid the camps filled with goblin-like creatures who held a hatred for all men. Until at last on a cliff, they found another shrine, one that stood proud against the buffeting winds from Central Hyrule. "Owa Daim Shrine let's go." Ravio said as he gestured for Link to do his thing.

If the Shrine were opened, the two of them would find themselves transported into a clockwork-like dungeon.

 

[Anxiety Riddled NERD]

Right from the start, the first thing that stood out to Link were the large gears. It was the likes of which he's never seen before. Coming up to the rune pedestal, Link wondered what awaits him. The last rune he needs.

Obtaining the rune titled Stasis, the ability to freeze things in time and if struck effectively launch at anything, Link was a little confused on how it works. Holding the slate outwards, he effectively froze one of the gears in time stopping the contraption in front of them and effectively making it able to be traversed.

 

[Rand AlThor]

Ravio would cross over the gear, gingerly, not trusting it entirely. "This is something else. Hey, hero, do you have any memories of Old Hyrule? Did you guys use this sort of magic all the time?" He asked Link while on the gear.

 

[Anxiety Riddled NERD]

Link wasn't quite sure how to answer Ravio's question. His memory of this gift was like any other, vaguely familiar maybe not even at all and nothing else. He only shook his head in response, with a slight shrug. The next obstacle looked easy enough, a narrow passage way with a large ball of cement rolling down it from a almost unidentifiable place up the ahead.

As they soon found out from the safety of the other side, Ravio was right to be cautious. Just as time seemed to resume on the gear puzzle before it allowing it to continue as if it were never frozen in time. Link froze the ball giving them time to walk up the passageway but like the gear, it will only be stopped for a little while.

 

[Rand AlThor]

Ravio would tremble slightly when he saw the passageway freeze, before he quickly ran up there. He'd look behind him towards Link, "You coming?" He asked. His demeanor towards the hero had changed since they'd first met, from contempt towards willingness to work together.

 

[Anxiety Riddled NERD]

Link advanced up the narrow passageway with newfound haste. At the top was a chest with a traveler's shield inside, he switched out his pot lid for it to take it's place. Carefully traversing back down, they got to the last puzzle, a narrow passage way almost thin enough to balance on. In the way, the same large boulder from before.

Freezing the ball, Link struck it a few times and when time was up released it outwards in the direction he hit it. Now the way was clear, for obtaining the last needed spirit orb.

 

[Rand AlThor]

Link and Ravio would both find themselves in the sacred room, with the seer. They would be given the last spirit needed spirit orb. Before they were brought out of the shrine and into the world outside.

Ravio stood by Link, "We can leave the plateau now, you've more than proven yourself worthy as a hero." He said to Link.

 

[Anxiety Riddled NERD]

Link despite showing few or if little emotion, seemed to bright up at this realization. Recognizing that there is much to be done from here, he set off to go an prepare for the outside world just beneath them, making sure he is ready for as much as he can realistically be.

 

[Rand AlThor]

The two of them, both Link and Ravio fled the plateau with their hang gliders of sorts. With time to spare beforehand for Link to prepare himself for the journey that must follows. Like Icarus they flew through the air, cold wind streamed across their bodies and the rolling fields of Hyrule stretched below their feet.

Before at last the two of them landed in the hills before a town, "Stay sharp, hero." Ravio said to Link, before they walked into an empty looking village. The same one they had landed before moments before.

 

[Anxiety Riddled NERD]

Finally out of the plateau, Link basks in the nice cool breeze that accompanied both him and Ravio as they flew high in the sky above the land. They dropped by the ruins of what was once a village, the Great Calamity destroyed it and much alike, coughing up only bones and scraps of rubble.

Link took Ravio's advice as he cautiously began walking through the ruined village. Lots and lots of rusted shilds and swords lay on the ground after years of neglect. The birds chirped along with the sounds of nature but an eerily feeling hung in the air.

 

[Rand AlThor]

"This is the fate of old Hyrule," Ravio told Link, as they walked through the dead village, "We're here to get some apparel, the old Sheik hid them here long ago in preparation for your awakening." He explained to Link.

However, strange snuffling and snarls from that of a beast could be heard from behind one of the buildings, before, several short and stout creatures ambled out from the shadow of the building. They were red skinned and humanoid, but their faces were filled with a dumb hate of everything that walked on this Earth. In their hands they carried crude weapons.

"Bokoblins!" Ravio yelled out, recognizing their kind

 

[Anxiety Riddled NERD]

Seeing them amble out of the shadows one by one, Link acted immediately holding his potlid up to block an incoming blow from a bokoblin that leaped into the air, crying aloud for an air attack. The other bokoblins joined the fight swinging their soup ladles and branches after Link found an opening to attack the one from the air.

Both boys were out numbered being roughly six of them together but the hero stood his ground and took his time with each one. Moving in front of Ravio to protect him, Link blocked hits when he could and swung everytime he found an opening, a strategy that looked to be working so far. They way Link instantly leaped in front of Ravio was pure impulse an instinct like he's been doing it for a long time.

With every right hit from the enemy, the pot lid suffered from wear and tear. It looked as if it could break at any moment.
