Link was gradually losing altitude the more he floated in the air but that wouldn't be an issue. Before he got too far he briefly let go of his parasail, whistled for his horse, and pulled the darn thing back out and continued floating along. The Royal horse was running just behind the Zora who were all on land by now. The clouds up ahead covered up the sun so thankfully they didn't have to fear the heat of the sun. Vah Ruta continued walking alone, roaring as she went. She didn't seem to have any intention to hurt anything or anyone so Link supposed this wasn't a real threat at the moment. Then again, she was just a giant mechanical beast. Anything could've gone wrong.

Just as the thought crossed his mines, another roar echoed across Hyrule. This time it didn't come from Vah Ruta. It came from across the field. Link looked over but could hardly see anything, a gigantic sand storm appeared to be making it was through a nearby field. Except this was no ordinary sand storm. Divine Beast Vah Naboris emerged from the sand and let out another shriek as she walked towards them. Link's eyes widened slightly at this. What the hell was going one? Another road and Divine Beast Vah Rudania jumped down onto the field from a mountaintop. His pace was quicker than the other two and he easily caught up with Vah Ruta. Vah Medoh was the silent one. Out of all four he didn't make his presence known until the very last moment when he was already flying directly on top of everyone. He silently emerged from the cover of clouds as if some sort of ghost. When he was low enough he let out a shriek of his own.

"Prince Sidon!" A Zora guard yelled over the sound of stomping. "What's happening?!" Sidon couldn't answer. He was too...shocked. All four Divine Beasts were walking together towards what seemed to be Hyrule Castle. Not a single one donned the purplish-pink glow that gave away the fact that Calamity Ganon had control over them and yet it seemed like they were being controlled by someone. A brilliant white horse ran at top speed in front of his Zora crew just as Link let go of his parasail. The Hylian Champion fell a height from what seemed to be level with the upper leg of Vah Ruta onto his steed. He kicked his horse and the two speed off.

"Prince Sidon!" Another Zora called out. "Should we abandon this mission? Should we go back and request more help?" Sidon remained silent. He wanted to swim back to Zora's Domain, Hylia knows he did, but he didn't lead his guards back. Instead he continued running after Link. Eventually though, they would get tired. Yes the Zora had stamina to share with all but they still had their limits. Sidon only hoped that the Divine Beasts would stop before that time came.

"Prince Sidon!" A different Zora called out this time. Honestly Sidon was getting a teensy bit annoyed with this. "An unexpected rolling sort of thing is moving towards us. It's approaching fast!" What? Sidon turned around only to look straight ahead a second later. Giant rolling boulders were rolling towards Vah Rudania. One of them seemed to be glowing a faint red. "Your highness, those may be the Goron! Do we continue after them?" Yes of course Sidon was going to make them continue after them.

"Yes my fellow Zora! Continue after them. We will not stop until our mechanical allies do!" Some of the guards groaned quietly but didn't argue. They, thankfully, didn't have to run for too long. All four Divine Beasts eventually stopped close to Hyrule Castle at what seemed to be an ancient ceremonial pedestal thing. Sidon really had no clue what it was but he faintly remembered Mipha mentioning it once. He believed Link became a full member of the team of champions here.

The four Divine Beasts stood a respectable distance from the pedestal and just...stood there. Silently. Sidon supposed perhaps they were waiting. In the commotion they caused the Gerudo had fallen behind in chasing after Vah Naboris. The Rito had also fallen behind a bit, Vah Medoh produced such forceful winds that it kept pushing the few adult Rito back to their village. Link on the other hand was at the head of the pack. He was there far before anyone else and stood on the pedestal staring up at the Beasts, waiting for them to make their first move.

"Link," A young looking Gerudo spoke. Sidon assumed she must've been high up in their hierarchy judging from the amount of jewelry she wore and how she had one gigantic looking guard at her side. "I have to say, I didn't think I'd be seeing you here. I guess I just thought you'd be taking a nice long vacation after saving us. That's the whole reason why I bothered to chase Naboris and bring my," the Gerudo girl looked over at the others and smiled mischievously, "warriors."

"Hah!" A Goron, obviously their leader, laughed loudly, "You believe your soldiers are warriors? We Goron eat rocks for meals!" The Gerudo Guard besides the young girl opened her mouth immediately to speak but the girl stopped her.

"Perhaps we may not eat rocks for breakfast," The girl spoke, "but don't let that underestimate you. We are a very strong race. Maybe one to give you rock-eaters a run for your rupees." The Goron leader laughed heartily and slapped the Goron besides him on the back, commenting how funny he found the girl to be. "Now that we got the awkwardness aside, mind telling us why we're here Link?" All eyes were now on Link who simply shrugged in response.

"Lady Riju, could it be possible that maybe our voe friend did not appease Naboris?" The girl, who's name was apparently Riju, waved her hand to dismiss the idea.

"I'm sure Link did an excellent job at calming Vah Naboris, Buliara. My faith in him is and always will be one percent unwavering and so should yours. If Link says he doesn't know why Naboris and the others began acting so strangely than he genuinely doesn't know. We won't get anywhere in life not trusting those who have proven their worth to us, that's what mother has always said."

"A wise woman your mother must've been." It was nos Sidon's turn to speak. However as reluctant as he was to actually talk to the other leaders his voice rang with confidence. "My mother always said that to run a kingdom you must first have kindness, wisdom, and courage of a goddess." Riju studied the Zora, looking at him from head to the top of his fin before smiling.

"Your mother sounds like a lovely lady."

"Enough mother talk!" The Goron chief practically yelled every word he spoke. "If any sort of grunt work is necessary I'd like to take care of it now before my back pains return! Yunobo, are the painkillers on standby?" A younger looking Goron, and coincidentally the one that was glowing red, nodded. "Great! Now then, little Hylian tell me where I need to fight!" Link was still standing there, simply staring up at the Beasts. Each one was just standing there as well. All eyes were on Link and Sidon felt as if maybe Link needed a small distraction. He walked over to the Hylian and rested one large hand on his shoulder.

"Perhaps this is nothing?" Sidon spoke softly though the others could still hear. "Perhaps these beasts simply needed...a change of scenery?" Sidon heard the Goron leader laugh loudly at his statement, making the Zora prince just a bit embarrassed.

"He could be right," a white-feathered and somewhat intimidating Rito flew down next to them, "after all, The Divine Beasts were found in mountains right? Maybe they're looking for a new place to settle in until the next time they are needed." Link was obviously running the possibility through his head. Maybe they were trying to find a new place to be out of the way until next time. Maybe they weren't. Maybe they wanted everyone to believe that so they could run wild around Hyrule and possibly destroy everything. Maybe the Goddesses had possessed them and placed them here to remind everyone of everything that has happened? The possibilities seemed endless and each one seemed more likely then the last. However Link came to his conclusion. He walked off the pedestal and waved his hand, signaling for the others to leave as well. He believed the Beasts would do no harm so what was the point in standing there and waiting?

The other races trusted their Hylian ally and began turning around to leave back to their respective homes when a loud and loud roar was emitted from Vah Ruta. She lifted up her head and trunk to reveal the two tusks at her mouth. Said tusks extended just slightly as she turned her head downwards. Vah Rudania opened up his face, just as he did when he took aim at Hyrule Castle, with a shrill screech. Vah Medoh made no noise an simply looked down. Vah Naboris was the most awkward out of the four. She spent a minute kneeling down before the two awkward ear-looking things at her sides moved to face forward. Simultaneously, the Beasts began glowing red and in that second everyone remembered what happened when they took aim at the Castle. Everyone jumped out the way before the red beams shot down to the ground. Link, using the wonderful and extremely useful gift of Daruk's Protection, jumped in front of Prince Sidon. The Zora prince was the most exposed out of everyone and surely he would've of gotten hurt if they Beasts weren't simply shooting a red light at the ground. 

No one looked up. Everyone was bracing themselves and hiding behind shields, arms, other people. Link was the first to look up. The red beams were gone and replaced by dust that was surrounding the exterior of the pedestal. But the fog seemed to be covering something. Curious, Link slowly walked over to ring of fog, shield and Master Sword in hand. Link squinted in the dust, trying to make out the figure in there. There was an arm, two arms. No wait, they were feathers. Maybe wings? The Hylian Champion waved just enough of the dust away to see a Rito laying there on the ground. Except it wasn't any normal Rito. He almost instantly recognized the blue scarf that donned an image of Vah Medoh and stumbled backwards, letting out a small yell of terror and shock. The others now looked up to see what had surprised Link. Their jaws dropped and eyes widened as the rest of the dust settled to exposed to deceased Champions from a century ago.

It was kind of ironic to Sidon. He had always spent nights praying the goddess statue in the Zora's Domain for a chance to see his sister again but now that he was looking at her perfectly preserved dead body he never wanted to see her again. Not that he loathed her, he just couldn't bear the sight of his dead sister. It's kind of a big, emotionally draining, deal. The others seemed to been just as shocked (and probably emotionally traumatized) as Sidon. No one spoke or moved, they just stared at the bodies. Link was actually the first to move. He quickly crawled over to his friends and with a shaky hand reached out to them, though never touching any of them. He was visibly shaking and perhaps holding back tears. Sidon wanted to go over and comfort him but he couldn't move. The frozen face of his sister seemed to have paralyzed him.

And as if Link seeing his dead friends wasn't enough the Goddesses decided to make matters worse. At least this is what Link thought. A small, almost fairy looking, white light floated down from the heavens and in front of the pedestal. Link recognized this one. It's how he was always magically transported out of the Divine Beasts once he defeated one of Calamity Ganon's foot soldiers or how he followed Ganon out of Hyrule Castle and onto the field. Link always assumed it was the Goddesses' way of helping him get from point A to point B when he had no time to spare. However, this time instead of transporting Link from one area of Hyrule to the next Zelda was being transported. This one was a bit more of a shock to those who didn't know of Zelda's passing. Audible gasps were heard from the crowd, and some gentle crying coming from somewhere, as they all gazed upon the corpses of those they cared for who fought vigorously to defeat the biggest threat to Hyrule.

This time when Link reached over he gently placed his hand on top of Zelda's, whose hands were clasped in one another's on her chest, and tried to fight the urge to cry. This all felt like a cruel punishment to Link. He was being forced to see the bodies of those who had died because he couldn't do his job right.

The Divine Beasts all let out one loud roar in unison, lifting their heads up to the sky as they did, before something more began to happen. As mentioned before the day was cloudy. No sun poked through the dense blanket of clouds in the sky. Until now that is. The smallest wind managed to push a cloud away and give the tiniest opening possible for the sun's rays to shine through. The light shone upon the five champions and something even more mysterious happened. Revali was the first one to sink into the ground. In his place a rock, which seemed to be serving as a sort of tombstone, shot up which turned to one giant sapphire in less than a second as well as a small bed of flowers. Daruk was next and in his place a tombstone of amber appeared with a bed of flowers as well. Urbosa's body sank into the earth and was replaced by a topaz tombstone. Finally, Mipha. As she sank into the dirt Sidon practically lunged to her, calling her name out but it was too late. She had been replaced by s tombstone of beautifully shining rubies. Zelda was the last one. She sank down slower than the rest. Silent Princesses decorated the area where her body had laid and a gigantic diamond poked out of the ground in her place. With all this done, the Divine Beasts all began slowly returning to their respective homes. The inhabitants of those homes however, did not return. Instead they all stayed there and stare at the shimmering graves. The pain of losing their beloved champions felt fresh, even if most all of them did die one hundred years ago.
