It felt like the only time she left the tower was for her morning walks, battles that needed her might, or whenever Carol had an idea to get Kassandra to experience some new part of the modern era she thought the immortal would enjoy. And it hasn't failed yet. Carol had managed to cure her boredom every single time. The troubling thing was, she realized a familiar feeling was brewing in her gut. That fluttering feeling whenever Carol checked in on her. At first, she chalked it up to the fact that the blonde felt responsible for her. But it felt like something else. The woman became the first friend Kassandra had since awakening once more.

But... what if it was more than that? There is no mistaking what the Keeper is feeling, she knows that flutter.

Of course, she doesn't realize she's staring until Carol waves a hand in front of her face. "Hello, ground control to Kassandra. Are you okay? You zoned out on me." Unfortunately, she only parses about half of that. She's searching for something, a sign that Carol feels that same feeling she does. The Keeper shakes her head. "I'm fine. I just... got lost in thought is all." Or her eyes. Damn. She has to know, she has to know that it's not just her.

Studying her features just a moment longer, her eyes momentarily fall on her lips. Gods, either she's about to misread this entire thing or she's about to make the best decision since she was revived. Her hand reaches out to grab Carol by the lapel of her bomber jacket, pulling her in as she presses a kiss against her lips, tasting the chapstick on her lips.

Ok I honestly wanted to leave Gomi and Wareta as missing. But I agree with Anonymous, Wareta should come back home! So I made a sequel to the last Dadvali post;

“Now Wareta, it is time for you to travel to Rito Village and request to be enlisted into their troops, understand?”

An now much older Wareta grunted and firmly nodded. An now elderly Gomi smirked before continuing.

“Although the Calamity fell almost a year ago, I am sure they will still be as eager as ever to accept new warriors.”

“Yes sir”

“Now, what do you do if they refuse to let you join?”

“Defeat their captain and make them beg”

“And once you join?”

“Work my way up their ranks and eventually take control”

Gomi chuckled. “Very good, my warrior. Now, do you remember what I told you about them?”

Wareta nodded. “They are nothing but rude, spineless cuccos that care only for themselves”

Gomi grinned. “Yes. Now, go get them, my warrior”

Wareta traveled to Rito Village, alone. The guards didn’t recognized her as Revali’s lost daughter, only seeing her as “a strange, rude female Rito traveler”. But Kaneli did.

“Wareta? Is that really you?”

Wareta blinked in surprise. “You...you know my name?”

Kaneli chuckled. “Of course I do. What kind of uncle would I be if I didn’t?” He then frowned at what he said next. “You wouldn’t remember me though, you had only just broken from your egg before you disappeared.”

Wareta raised an eyebrow at that. “Disappeared? What are you-?”

She was cut off by someone entering the hut. It was Harth.

Harth and Wareta stared at each other in confusion. “Dad, who is this?”

Kaneli chuckled. “Harth, I would like you to meet your older cousin. This is Wareta.”

Harth gaped in surprise. “You’re Wareta?”

“Yes, I am” Wareta answered, fully expecting any reaction other then her wing being grabbed and shook.

“It’s great to finally meet you.” Harth said, releasing Wareta’s wing after a moment. “Dad and Uncle Revali often told us about you. They left out some details out at that moment of course. But either way, it’s great to have you back.”

Wareta blinked in surprise. “Us?”

“Yes, Teba and Kass. Your little brothers” Kaneli told her. He then turned back to Harth. “My son, how about you go fetch them? I’m sure they will be very eager to meet their older sister after all these years.”

Harth nodded and took off. Leaving a very confused Wareta behind with the elder.

As they waited for Harth to return with Teba and Kass, Kaneli explained to Wareta everything she missed. The grief Revali felt after her disapperance, how Teba and Kass were born, and the sacrifices the Revali made before he fell to the Calamity. The only thing Kaneli left out was the true nature of her disappearance, only because he thought she already knew.

Wareta was really surprised. This certainly wasn’t anything like the “rude, spinless cuccos” Gomi had told her about. 

Wareta stared at Teba and Kass, and they stared back. They didn’t now how long they had been like that before Kaneli spoke up.

“Now, as much as I love long reunions, I think it is very rude to just stare.”

“Oh! Right” Teba cleared his throat. “Hello there, my name is Teba. It is nice to finally meet you, Wareta.”

“And my name is Kass” Kass added with a smile. 

Wareta looked between the two Ritos, unsure if she should return the greeting or judge them. Her lessons pointed her towards judging them.

“You are blind” Wareta told Teba flatly before turning to Kass. “And you are not experienced as speaker.”

Teba and Kass looked at each other confused.

“Yes, well, I suppose it is rather obvious.” Kass admitted, laughing nervously. “Teba here has been blind since birth. I myself did not utter my first words till around the age of six. Even so, we work through it.”

Wareta huffed and turned back to Kaneli. “I wish to go train. I will return at sunrise to accept your answer to my request to enlist in your troops.”

“I can take to Flight Range” Teba offered. “It was dad’s training ground, I’m sure it-”

“That won’t be necessary, thank you” Wareta interrupted. “I do not require help”

After Wareta left, Kaneli explained to Teba and Kass that she had grown up under Gomi’s influence so it will take some time for her to come around, but assured them that she will eventually and to not give up on her. 

Wareta returned the next day for the answer she was hoping for. Kaneli told her to go meet with Teba for the answer, considering he was the current leader of their troops. 

Wareta landed at Flight Range and quickly spotted Teba talking with Tulin before the young Rito flew towards the targets. Teba heard her as she got closer and smiled at her. 

“Hello Wareta, I was wondering when you’d show up.” Teba greeted. 

“My answer, do you have it?” Wareta asked flatly.

“Of course. I would love to have my older sister fight along side me.” Teba answered.

Wareta nodded and was about to leave when Tulin called over to his father.

“Hey dad! Watch this!” Tulin called before doing a few loops while still in the air.

“Nice one Tulin! You’re doing great!” Teba encouraged.

Wareta raised an eyebrow. “I thought you couldn’t see?”

Teba nodded. “I can’t” 

“Then how do you know he’s doing good?”

“Because I can hear him as he flies in and out of the wind currents.” Teba explained. “Tulin isn’t exactly quiet either.”

Tulin proved his point by bursting out laughing before flying over to them and landing. His smile dropped when he saw Wareta.

“Dad, whose that?”

Teba crouched down to Tulin’s height and placed a hand on his back. “Tulin, this is your aunt, Wareta. She’s mine and uncle Kass’ sister.”

Wareta was still trying to process the fact that she was a sister, then she found out she was also a aunt. She was also struggling why Gomi would tell her false, negative things about the other Rito.

I imagine when she found that Kass wasn’t a warrior, she would be very confused and upset. Until Kass explains

“What are you doing?”

Kass stopped mid-song and turned to see Wareta standing behind him, confused. “Oh, hello Wareta. I apologize, I didn’t hear you approach.”

“What are you doing?” Wareta repeated. “Why aren’t you training? And what is that thing?”

“Oh this? This is my accordion.” Kass explained, indicated his signature instrument in his hands. “You see, I’m a musician, not a skilled warrior like you and Teba. Though I can assure you, I can still put up a fight if needed.”

Wareta raised an eyebrow. “Not a warrior? Why?”

“Well you see, I honestly tried to become a warrior at first, But my true passion lies with music.” Kass explained.

“Why?” Wareta inquired, her gaze turning into a glare. “Don’t you know that if the offspring of a warrior not does not become a warrior themselves, it is very disrespectful to the entire bloodline?”

Kass physically flinched at that. He cleared his throat to try and keep his composure. “Yes...well that’s what I thought when I started to pursue music. I never told dad in fear of this, never got a chance to before he fell to the calamity.” He took a deep breath and smiled at what he said next. “But, according to Teba, dad knew of my passion of music and encouraged it. He never told me he knew because he wanted to wait until I was ready to tell him. As it turns out, dad was the one who constucted my accordion. With help from my teacher, Ongaku, of course.”

“Dad...knew? And he wasn’t disappointed?” Wareta asked, surprised.

Kass shook his head. “It sure seems like that, at least.”

I can also totally see Amali and Saki bonding with Wareta with absoulute girl power energy. They are sister in laws after all. 

“Neither of you are warriors?”

Amali and Saki both shook their heads. 

“No, I am merely a simple shop keeper.” Amali told her. “While Saki here is a healer.”

“I’m assuming you are a warrior because your father, Gomi, was once a warrior?” Saki inquired.

“I...suppose so.” Wareta admitted. 

“That was to be suspected” Amali said. “I mean considering how lowly Kaneli spoke of him. He said Gomi’s attentions were quite clear when he stole you.”

Wareta blinked in surpise. “Stole me? What are you talking about? Father said he was banished from the village and took me with him out of fear of what they would do to me being his offspring.”

Amali and Saki’s eyes widened in surprise. 

“You don’t know?”

Amali and Saki told Wareta everything they knew about the truth of her disappearance. Wareta went to Kaneli to confirm this who explained everything in more detail. Furious, Wareta left the village to confront her “father”. 

“How could you lie to me?!” Wareta cried. “How could you tell me all those awful things about the Rito, about my family?!”

Gomi growled. “I merely told you the important things. The things you needed to know to become the fine warrior you wanted to be.”

“No, not what I wanted. What YOU wanted!” Wareta yelled. “I cannot believe how many seeds you planted into me to turn me into someone I didn’t want to be! No wonder the Rito hate you! You’re nothing but a spineless cucco, not them!”

“Are you saying you regret my teachings?! You deny all the sacrifices I made for you?!” Gomi yelled.

Wareta grunted, collected her things, and marched out of the cave she couldn’t believe she would ever call home.

Gomi growled and tried to stop her. “Where are you going?!”

“Back to my family. My real family.” Was all Wareta said before flying away.

Wareta returned to Rito Village and never returned to Gomi, that was the last anyone had seen him as the cave was completely empty when others went to look for him. All Wareta wanted was to be able to start over. Teba and Kass knew a good place to start.

“So this...is Vah Medoh?” 

Teba and Kass nodded.

Wareta stared up at the divine beast, unsure of what to do or say. “Can...can he...see us?”

“We like to believe so, yes.” Kass answered, smiling.

“We often come here to talk to him. Though his soul is no longer trapped in Medoh, this is where we feel the most in touch with him.” Teba explained.

Wareta nodded and turned back to Vah Medoh. “Uh...hello dad? It’s um...it’s Wareta. I know it’s been years since you’ve seen me, but...I’m sure you’re happy to know that I have returned.”

Wareta look down and frowned. Kass walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. “Believe me, dad is so happy to see you after all this time.”

Teba nodded in agreement. “Knowing him, he probably already knew you were coming.”

If the siblings would’ve looked up at Vah Medoh’s head, they would’ve seen Revali, completely abondoning his pride and crying tears of joy. 

Wareta lived the rest of her days in Rito Village, opting to spend more time with her family. Though she never completely abandoned being a warrior, she actually became a teacher. Her nieces and nephew helped her understand how to take care of children. The only regret that Wareta has is not returning home sooner. 

Bonus;

Wareta: So, you’re the Hylian dad fell for after Gomi left him?

Link: Yep!

Wareta: Well he did fall for Gomi at one point, so it was to be expected he had low standards. 

Link: Hey!
