Hyrule History and Legends!; Friday, Second Period [09/02].
"Good morning, adventurers and knowledge-seekers!" Sidon greeted the class with his usual excitement and aplomb, grinning big as everyone got settled into their classroom (one of the ones with a rather nicely high ceiling). "And welcome to Hyrule History and Legends!, a class where I, Sidon," he pumped his fist across his chest and hit them with a brilliant smile, so brilliant the light caught perfectly off his fangs, because he'd had that down for centuries now!, "the Zora Prince, will take you on several fantastic journeys through the exciting legends and history of my world, Hyrule! For those of you who don't know, Hyrule is a far-distant land, very different from this one, full of all sorts of magic and wonder, but also a great deal of danger, especially in the form of the Great Calamity, a monstrous entity that rose up from the past nearly one hundred years ago, that plagues us to this day. It is a world currently dangling in the balance between destruction and survival, which is perhaps why I am so keen on teaching about it. Hopefully, Hyrule will be around for many, many more millennia to come, but, if not, then, at least it may not be so easily forgotten."
His smile now was soft and apologetic.
"Hardly the most encouraging note to start on, but it does place things in a very true, very realistic context, and I hope highlights the importance of knowledge and storytelling, especially of worlds not our own. And, as such, since you will be spending the rest of the semester hearing me tell you about the world that is my own, today, I should actually very much like to hear about the worlds that are your own." He chuckled faintly. "I'm sure some of you are sick of introductions at this point, although I am incredibly fond of them myself, so please, indulge me at least this one time by taking some time to tell me and everyone else your name and where you're from, and anything else about your world that you might wish to share. If you could be so kind, I would also be absolutely delighted to know if there's any particular reason you decided to take this class, or anything you'd like to know more about, so I can be certain it gets covered in the weeks going forward. Sometimes, there feels like so much to talk about, that I find it rather difficult to even choose! So if I can guide my lessons based on what you'd like to know about, that works best for all of us in the long run!
"And," Sidon added with a wink, gesturing toward the desk behind him, which had been, notably, piled up with a variety of different fruits and a few vegetables, "to ensure that the class is not entirely introductions, I have also brought with me from Hyrule a few examples of its natural bounty in the form of some of our most fortifying fruits and vegetables! Please come and try them when we're all finished, and, if you like, we can discuss some of their properties as well. I have included little placards to tell you more about the regions they can be found and what benefits they provide, but I will be more than happy to discuss them further!"
He was never against discussing almost anything really.
"But first! Introductions! Who shall have the honor of going first?"
His smile now was soft and apologetic.

Which wasn't entirely a bad thing, even if it made getting back home harder.
