Zelda's POV
I roll around feeling restless as I try to truly wake up. My arm slings across something hard that makes a groan of pain and I'm immediately awake. Looking towards the source I see kyros laying there with my arm across his chest. I smile but soon wrinkle my nose at the revolting stench coming off of him.
I immediately get up summoning the many chu-chu jellies we have replenished and I throw them at him. He immediately wakes up at the onslaught I give him as I start to rant.
" You had us worry, then you have the audacity to come back like this, smelling like a bokoblins hind end and then not even caring to wash yourself," I rant pelting him some more. Mineru wakes up and uses ultrahand on us causing us to freeze as she glares at kyros and me. I'm released as kyros is flung off the shiekah tower and I hear a splash and his scream. Oh he'll deny it was girlish for sure but it feels right hearing that. I look at Mineru as she stands and looks at me before she huffs and says," please don't wake me up like that again."
" Ok." I say quickly as she looks to the side kyros was flung off of. " Come we all need a bath," she says as I smell myself and cringe. I grab Mineru's arm and teleport us to the magnesis shrine where kyros is floating around in the small pond just looking at the sky. I sigh before stripping to my small clothes and dipping into the pond to start cleaning myself. I look over and go wide eyed as Mineru just goes straight nude dipping into the water and I shake my head. ' oh right she doesn't have any small clothes,' I think as I take some sunscorched grass and start scrubbing my skin. As I'm scrubbing I hear three splashes and see shard and her family all scrubbing themselves as well. I sigh as the youngest one mimi bites onto some of the grass and immediately recoils in disgust as I laugh at their antics.
Cleaning up ourselves we look at the map as kyros holds up a diary he swiped from that man. " Hmm, according to this the bastard was supposed to help you on this plateau and lead you to the goddess statue before giving you some bullshit story on what happened and had you forgive him," says kyros as I look at the map and find where the goddess statue is. " Of course it's in the temple of time," I say looking at the destroyed cathedral up on the hill. Mineru sighs and says," that's not the true temple of time but a replica built after the sage of time and I used our powers to raise it into the sky."
" Huh, the more you know," I say not really caring at this point, " kyros burn that book when we get off the plateau. I'd rather not have any reminder of that man."
" Of course your highness," says kyros cheekily as he looks at me and I glare at him before sighing at his reply.
" Please don't do that, not yet at least," I say before I walk right by him and pat his shoulder, " maybe later after we get off this plateau."
I wall away feeling giddy about getting off this stupid plateau, so much so I give a little extra sway to my hips.
Kyros pov
I stop in my tracks looking at Zelda as she walks away her bubbly ass swaying and bouncing with each step. I shake my head thinking about myself being basically blue balled by my own decisions. I sigh as I walk with Mineru following Zelda up the stone pathway to the ruined cathedral. Mineru looks at Zelda as well and sighs before I hear her whisper to herself. " Damn. Zelda, you always make me wet. I just wish you knew what you do to me."
I look at Mineru and smirk before steeling my face as we enter the temple we see the destroyed pews and the glowing goddess statue. Zelda looks at the statue and slowly walks to it and just stares at the statue. I walk forward and place my hand on her shoulder and my vision is filled with foggy white light.
" Unexpected visitor, I thank you for protecting nayru's chosen from harm and lies. For this I give you a gift may they serve you well."
I shake my head after the fog clears as well as Zelda comes to. I feel weight on my hip and I see a large lantern like object filled with glowing Firefly like bugs. " Princess Zelda, Knight kyros, sage Mineru, I reach out to you for a favor. Upsurt the plateau King's throne and bring his plate and I'll reward you."
We all look around and then at each other. " Ok looks like we got a rathalos to slay," I say as they both nod. As we turn around the fireflies fly out of the lantern object and make a trail for us to follow.
We look at each other as we nod and follow the tail through the forest of spirits towards the valley that Zelda said she seen it enter.
Night falls when we arrive at the entrance to the valley and we stop. " So what is the game plan," asks Mineru as she looks into the valley.
" I say we set up a trap here with the silk bombs and the large bomb barrel from the slate and bracelet," says Zelda as she start pulling out the said items. I start removing the stuff I gained from the stone talos and I fuse it with some weapons we gathered from defeated bokoblins.
" Sounds good, you and Mineru can stay out here while I lure it out here and we finally fight it here," i say as they both nod and I set myself up with a long stick fused with a traveler's sword and a traveler's shield I fused with some stone armor we got off a armored bokoblin. I start walking in when a ruffle of feathers catch my eye. I look to my left and see a pheasant like bird with a large throat sac pecking at the ground. I rush towards the bird picking it up and holding it's beak as the throat sac expands and vibrates. I rush back to the girls. Rushing right near the bomb trap set up I place the bird down as it suddenly screeches. It's voice echoing across the plateau and an answering roar is heard. A shadow falls across the plateau as the rathalos comes flying out of the valley and and straight at the bird which skitters off. The rathalos dives at me when all of a sudden something follows it striking it with verdant green lightning sending it crashing into the ground. Dirt flies up into the air as the two monsters start a turf war. Green bolts of lightning, red fire balls and streams of fire fill the dirt cloud as two roars are hear. One the rathalos the other sounds like a giant bug like roar that sounds almost like a cicada. The dirt clears and the rathalos is almost kneeling over exhausted as the second monster comes out and I rush towards the rathalos. An astalos has appeared and I have an idea as Mineru starts firing at the creature drawing it's attention. I jump unleashing the slinger as a wire bug we collected flies out and starts wrapping the rathalos up. I land grabbing the glowing strands and I nudge the rathalos into attacking the astalos before just launching into the monsters. The rathalos gets tied up by the glowing strands as I grab onto the astalos with the wire bug. I laugh sending the astalos into a chain of attacks against the rathalos. Bolts of lightning, chained attacks of razor claws and scissor tail strikes I finally push the rathalos into the silk bomb triggering it. The thick silk strand wrap around the rathalos as Mineru fires at the bomb barrels catching the rathalos in an explosion as I urge the astalos into a finisher. I jump off as the astalos finishes the move set giving the rathalos thunder blight.
Zelda rushes forward with shard attacking the rathalos tail and wings as Mineru fires a wyvernheart salvo into its face while I jab the makeshift lance into its side. The astalos flies off disappearing into the clouds as the rathalos shrieks in pain as Zelda digs her longsword into the rathalos tail and she grunts and screams jerking her blade straight through the tail. The rathalos jerks up,still trapped by a few strands of the silk bomb. And his chest is littered in the wyvernheart salvo opening gashes from the astalos attack and I jab deeply striking a soft spot. The rathalos roars causing us to cover our ears but I blocked it with the shield somehow and I jab the makeshift lance straight into its throat breaking the weapon as it rips open a wound that finally seals the rathalos fate. With a final groan it kneels over dead its eyes lifeless looking to the sky it once ruled.
" Well looks like we did it, " says Zelda as the rathalos bursts into malice leaving behind its spoils.

We teleport away from the scene back to the tower and we go to the goddess statue. Placing the rathalos plate down at the statues feet it glows and in its place is something that we didn't expect. A girl with short blonde hair that is braided framing her face. Her eyes are closed as she steadily breathes her small cloth covered chest rising and lowering. Beside her is a set of dual crossbows that are attached to a makeshift harness that is hold up by a set of men's boxers. Zelda sighs as I hand her the pants I had and some of the rathalos webbing. I leave as Zelda makes a makeshift cloak and dresses the girl.
" Take care of linkle, she came from a destroyed Hyrule much like this but different. She was farore's chosen from that world."
