A Traveler's Guide to Hyrule; Thursday, First Period [12/09].

[in_sidon_we_trust]

"One lesson," Sidon started the class out that morning with a bright, toothy grin on his face, one with even more anticipation and excitement than usual, "that is useful to any traveler to anywhere is to always be prepared, so I certainly hope that is a lesson the two of you will take into consideration today, for there are just mere moments before our portal will arrive and whisk us away to our destination! That's right! I have taken into consideration your essays from last week, and a bold decision has been made! For our final two classes, we will be traveling to Hyrule itself, so that you may experience it first hand, and the interest wa synonymous! We shall venture forth...to the great Death Mountain!

"....next week," he added, with a chuckle, after a dramatic pause. "We'll save the mighty trek for our final day so that we may better prepare, but today, we will be traveling to the Foothill Stable, which sits at the foot of Death Mountain, so that you may get a feel for the area, chat with the locals in residence, and generally get an idea of the journey ahead of us next week as we find our way to Goron City in the heart of the mighty mountain! If you have any questions before we arrive, please ask them now, but, if not, prepare to travel!

"And I have to admit," something almost boyish seemed to spark up in that large, aquatic face of his, "we Zora do not often venture into this part of Hyrule, so....I am rather excited about this as well! It shall be an adventure for us all!"

Library, Thursday 12/9

[noonedecidesmyfate]

There were burning logs in fireplaces showing on every computer screen in the library when Belle arrived. No online public access catalogs here today. Only Yule logs.

Hopefully nobody needed to look anything up online or actually check out any books.

Belle was keeping herself busy eating candy canes and reading about holiday traditions and trying to make at least some sense of the recent odd events. She still didn't understand the sweaters from the party she'd inadvertently attended on Friday. She also didn't understand why one book was determined she read about mistletoe which she was fairly certain was poisonous.
