"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!"

There is a little bit of time before the portal arrives to whisk them off to Hyrule, so if there's any last minute questions or preparations to make, now's the time to do it!

The portal connects the travelers to the Mo'Keet Shrine, set an cliff to the east of the stable, its distinctive horse-head looming over the rugged hills and cliffs as the road winds up through the Eldin Canyon. Death Mountain looms large and intimidating in the distance; though you are still quite far away, you can feel the dry heat rolling into the valley below from it, and if you're quite, you can hear the rumbling lava flows and great quivering rocks of the trecherous place even from this distance.

Or you might, anyway, were it not for the soft music coming from a large parrot-like Rito standing near the entrance of the stable, playing a melody on an accordian. Besides the music, it is mostly a quiet stable, with not as much foot traffic coming from the mountain, though one might speak with the grizzled stable owner Ozunda to find out more about the area.

Outside, you'll find a rust-haired young woman in stablehand garb sweeping the ever-present dust from the path, as well as an odd-looking merchant with a pack nearly twice as large as he is on his back, bringing to mind a certain sort of bug, and inside, one might find a brooding young man pondering a rather marvelous landscape that is hung on the stable wall.

There is a general sense of excitement some of the other attendants to the stable and visitors, as they're not used to seeing a Zora, much less one of Sidon's considerable size, in these parts, and the visitors that he brought with him are quite curious, as well, but the stable is yours to explore, as well as the surrounding areas, although Sidon has requested that you not venture too far down the path quite yet.

Alara’s eyes were wide as she tried to take in all the sights as much as she could.

She was definitely taking the opportunity to see as much of the area as she could, she was careful not to stray down the path as Sidon asked but there was plenty for her to see without going down the path.

Once the students have had a chance to sort of explore a little, there is something else that Sidon has requested of them. "You see," he offered, "the very lovely Gaile here is an expert in making something that we shall require if we wish to venture into the mountains next week, and that is Fireproof Elixirs! However, for our purposes, we shall require many elixirs, far more than she currently has in stock. She has agreed to make a wealth of them for us in the upcoming week, but we must help her out with the supplies! And that is why, for the rest of our visit, we must hunt down as many Fireproof Lizards as we can! There are many here in all the rocks and crags of the area, sometimes even hidden underneath them!, so we shall certainly find them, it's only a matter of catching them! But fear not! I'll have you know," here, he grinned and winked at them as he made a reference to something neither of them could possibly have known, "I've been an expert lizard hunter since I was a very small hatchling!"

Ha-ha! Fandom reference!

"So let us make sure to find and catch as many Fireproof Lizards for the gracious and generous Gaile before we leave, so that we may be better prepared to embark on the real journey next week!"

Alara could definitely help with trying to catch the fireproof lizards and was looking under the different rocks to see where they might be hiding. It turned out that she was better at finding them then catching them though.

And this was where Astrid certainly realized the benefit of having Alara as her classmate, because lifting the rocks to find the lizards? Not so easy for her waifish arms, but there was an easy and now obvious solution here.

"I think," she offered, "this could use a little bit of teamwork. If you lift the stones, I can be ready to catch the lizards when they begin to run out."

“That might be a better way to go about,” Alara nodded, “I think my strength is more in being able to find the lizards,” literally in her case.

Assuming you can manage to get through the other people eager to talk to him at the stable, anyway, he is certainly there should you need him!

Thanks to glitches, Sidon actually can go to Death Mountain, but it does not go particularly well for him.
