Another Princess of Light #10

Instructions

Zelda and Solana walked rode their horses to Gerudo Village together, and as they rode, Zelda revealed to Solana that she had secretly watching her spar the other Sages and said to her, "I am so very proud of you Solana! You have gone greater lengths than I myself have. I have no doubt that today, you will prove to me that you have the ability to be Princess of Hyrule." Solana smiled bashfully at Zelda. Then she said, "So, that means you saw me kiss Tulin, doesn't it?" Zelda laughed softly at this and responded, "Not if you didn't want me to." Then she winked at her little sister. Solana giggled at this. ........................................................................................A few hours later, Solana and Zelda arrived at Gerudo town, and because of the heat, Zelda bought herself and Solana matching gold colored Gerudo Vai outfits. They changed into them and proceeded to seek out Riju for Solana's final challenge. As they entered the palace, they found Buliara in the throne room, but no sign of Riju. Zelda asked Buliara, "Buliara, where is Riju? We were supposed to meet her for training with Solana." Buliara replied, "I have not seen her, all day come to think of it. She left this morning to go to Kara Kara Bazaar, and has yet to return." Zelda and Solana looked at each other with worried expressions. Without another word, Solana rushed out of the palace and down to the Sand-Seal Rental Shop and rented a seal named Dune and a shield. Dune was the fastest of all the seals. Solana, while paying the 50 rupees to a gerudo named Frelly who was running the booth, was thinking of how much faster sand seals were in the sand than her beloved horse, Hylia. She didn't think about the fact that she didn't know how to ride sand seals, she just went. What if Riju was in trouble? As she rode away from Gerudo Village, she heard Zelda calling her to come back. The one thing that at the moment she knew she just couldn't do. ........................................................................................When Solana reached Kara Kara Bazaar, it was crawling with Gibdos! She saw Riju in the middle of them all, trying to fight them all off at once, but with no avail. These gibdos were not like others, they seemed to be resistant to lightning! Solana stared in horror at this, she knew she had to do something. She ran, shoving past gibdos, to Riju. She said her, "Riju! Are you okay?" Riju looked at her in surprise, "Solana, get out of here, this is too dangerous even for me, get away while you still can!" Solana refused and said to Riju, "Cover me!" Riju hesitated for a second and then agreed. Riju did as she was told. Solana knew exactly what she had to do. She needed to do a blast of light, as big as she had when sparring Yunobo. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes for a few seconds, and then opened her eyes and let forth a blast of light. Then everything went black.
