fandomhigh | The History of the Zora; Monday, Fourth Period [07/05].

Was Sidon a little disappointed that there wasn't more interest in diving deep into the history of his people that summer? Yes, if he was honest, he was, but that just meant that the people who did sign up for his course could get extra focus and he could engage with them on this very near and dear to his heart subject even more closely, and, by Hylia, these two students were going to get the best Zora history education that Sidon had to offer!

Or, well...it would seem that at least one of those students would get such an education, because Sidon realized, after giving it some time, that only one students was showing up that day, and that was certainly something to make him frown with concern.

"I suppose," he ventured, giving the student who did show up an encouraging smile even through his worry, "we might as well get started, as I don't believe our companion in this journey through the exciting history of my people will be able to join us today!"

But it felt a little odd, just blazing forward when there was a good chance that one of his students was...

"You don't think," he ventured, frowning a little more, "that our friend has fallen victim to one of these holes, do you?"

But before Belle could even have a chance to answer, Sidon's expression changed, into a bright, beaming grin, as did his stance, which suddenly burst out in an expression of excitement, fists pumps, knees bent as if ready to spring into action.

"We shall have to find out! The History of the Zora will still be here for us next week...assuming we are even here next week, so let us go and see if we can discover if such a fate has fallen our absent associate and perhaps come to the rescue and create some Fandom history of our own! There is no time to spare! Let us go!"

Ready to go!

Belle

And just as Sidon was about to turn and ~~duck~~ rush out the door, he stopped for a moment and looked back at Belle and tilted his head.

"But wait!" he said. "There is one thing I've now realized, in all my excitement to go and seek out out misplaced maiden, that I do not think that you and I have actually been properly introduced! Or, at the very least, if we have met, then we are a bit overdue for a refresher, and, besides, it is tradition, is it not? My sincerest apologies! Let us remedy that misstep first and foremost! I am Sidon!" He flashed Belle a grin, pumping his fist across his chest, and it managed to sparkle perfectly at the end of his sharp teeth. "The Zora Prince! And welcome," he opened his arms as if in an inviting gesture, "to this History of the Zora, where I will share with you all there is to learn about the thrilling stories of my people! It is a history filled with adventure and romance, with thrilling tales and hopeful promise! With tragedy and comedy, and I am most excited to share it with you!"

There was a slight pause.

"Perhaps when things are a little less....well...Fandom, anyway. And what about you? Tell me a little about yourself before we charge out into the great uncertain future!"

Belle had certainly seen her teacher before even if they hadn't really spoken. He was rather difficult to miss.

"I'm Belle," she said. "I'm not familiar with the Zora, really, but I'm eager to learn. I do love stories of adventure." And all the other sorts, honestly. "Should I be calling you Your Highness, if you're a prince of your people?"

"Perish the very thought of it!" Sidon declared, without hesitation, it with a bright laugh and an amused grin. "There is no need for such formalities here! I may be the prince of my people, but here, I am but Sidon!" Of course it required another pump of his fist across his chest, with a dramatic pause for that sparkling smile. "The regular alumni and teacher of various things! Mostly historical things, this time around! I assure you, Belle, you shall not be disappointed! We have tens of thousands of years of stories to tell! But don't worry!" He threw in a jovial wink. "I plan to only cover the best highlights!"

And once those all-important introductions are out of the way, it's time to go forth and hunt for holes and see if anything could be discovered about their missing student! Anywhere on the island is fair game; if they decided to separate, they can (hopefully!) meet back in the classroom and share notes and discoveries!

"It might be wiser to stay together," Belle suggested. "We don't know much about what's happening. It could be anything!" Around here that was literally true.

"A spectacular idea!" Sidon agreed with an enthusiasm as big as he was. "Especially since I imagine it would take quite the hole to suck me into it!"

Sidon, the things were eating buildings, you weren't that big!

"So then our next question should be where to begin? Do you think the site that jabe already had disappearances may be a helpful place to start?"

Sidon's formidable size was one reason Belle thought staying together might be wise, yes.

"It seems likely there would be more to find out somewhere where we know something has happened," she said. "Since we don't know where something might happen in the future."

"An excellent deduction!" Sidon complimented, because that was what he did! And he took a moment to stroke his chin thoughtfully as he considered the little bits and pieces and scraps of information that they had been able to collect so far.

"And going by that astute logic," he reasoned, "our first stop should be the fire station, should it not? Or, I suppose, where the fire station previously was, as it was the first piece of this intircate puzzle to go missing, if I am not mistaken!"

"That seems like a fine place to start," Belle agreed. "I'm sure others have looked but more eyes certainly won't hurt."

Maybe they would get to witness the ice cream shop disappearing while they were out!

Should anyone need to talk to him, either in the classroom or out about on his search for holes.
