champions reacting to the original pilot
pairing(s): revali x reader, mipha x reader, daruk x reader, urbosa x reader
media: breath of the wild
content warnings: none!
revali
➵ revali is perusing his newfound divine beast, checking for any secrets that might give him a leg up against a certain ganon when he hears the clearing of a throat and the beginning of your introduction.
➵ he listens curiously as you make a general introduction of youself, however, his interest is peaked when he hears that you were the original pilot of his divine beast.
➵ at first he feels a rush of protectiveness wash over him, as he’s come to identify greatly with being the champion of medoh, or rather the only one in recent history.
➵ but that’s another thing: you sound so modern, certainly not someone from a hundred thousand of years ago. its odd, and yet he feels himself becoming more and more intrigued by the second.
➵ you pose a question to him, asking if medoh is up to the standards of whoever might pilot the beast next. it was then that it truly dawned upon him, that these beasts were not only tools for defeating ganon, but also a legacy of which he will not be the first or last.
➵ after hearing your closing remarks, bidding him safe flights and calm winds aboard your prized medoh, revali sits upon one of the large wings, gazing out over his village.
➵ revali wonders if the person behind the voice ever sat here as well, and how many others have done the same.
mipha
➵ it was undeniable, at least to mipha herself, that she was utterly intimidated by the giant form of vah ruta. though she would never like to admit this, it was true, and it was something she was currently dealing with, standing outside the beast gazing at its opening.
➵ it was to be her first time entering the beast, for which she hoped a heaven sent epiphany would come and wash away her worries. tentative steps, and the small patter of fins upon the hard material sounded. mipha made her way into the main stairwell.
➵ contrary to her former beliefs, mipha’s prayer came true and a voice resounded through ruta. though, strangely enough, the voice had a ring of friendliness and familiarity.
➵ mipha was greeted with a hello as well as your name, age, and a couple other oddball facts. however, the one that was most shocking to mipha was your place as the original pilot of ruta.
➵ here she sat, in the middle of the cold hollow beast, being greated by a warm and inviting voice that said they had once been in her place.
➵ immediately she thought back to the story of ruto, a zora princess of the past, and the same feeling of familiarity passed. though your name was not ruto, and it was unlikely that you were also a zora she couldnt help feeling a kindship with you.
➵ how interesting, only a mere second ago vah ruta felt so cold and distrusting, however, with the grace of your voice and your story, mipha finally felt at ease.
➵ but just like that the recording was over, already she missed the ring to your voice, but somehow she knew that all over the divine beast was you. your little markings, and memories etched into the walls.
➵ it was a wonderfull thing, knowing that one day her memories too would join yours. ngl i almost made myself cry with this one im so soft for mipha
daruk
➵ daruk bid a booming farewell to the other gorons watching as he boarded vah rudania for the first time, feeling the swelling of pride and even more warmth spreading through him. it was no wonder the kind of honor he felt being able to call himself a champion.
➵ the elated cries of his bretheren could be heard as the hatch to rudania slowly closed, leaving him to finally be able to be alone with the divine beast.
➵ but something wasnt right, it was so isolated, and daruk already felt a shroud of loneliness hovering over him. he always had someone to protect, that was what kept him going in the middle of a battle. but even though the sounds of his people had just faded away he was lost.
➵ daruk knew that he was fighting for all of hyrule, for the gorons, princess zelda, as well as link. but for some reason, being alone in the dim light of the beast separated him from these things.
➵ suddenly, a greeting rang through rudania, startling daruk out of his short contemplation. you introduced yourself as the first pilot of the divine beast and daruk was frozen in shock.
➵ he became more and more familiar with the sound of your voice, and by hearing your story he realized that you were a person, someone who existed at some point in history. but you were speaking to him with such pride in the beast you originated.
➵ you were someone, and rudania was something meaningful to you; something to protect. like a torch had suddenly come to life, daruk surged at the feeling of having something in this divine beast to protect, it was you, your voice, and your story.
urbosa
➵ the gerudo cheif had little to worry about as she boarded the divine beast. generally very confident in her abilities, however, one thing lurked in the back of her mind. though she tried her hardest to trust in link, she was concerned about the state of zelda.
➵ urbosa had accompanied the princess on several of her trips to the springs, attempts at awakening her power, but she had watched as zelda failed each time. how would she fair? would urbosa exit vah naboris only to find the princess dead?
➵ these were all thoughts running through her head as urbosa boarded naboris for the first time. however, she was given very little time to reflect on it any more as a foreign voice sounded.
➵ urbosa was introduced to you, and instantly she was drawn to your story of being the first pilot of vah naboris. you sounded so young, how could it be that someone like you could pilot this beast, let alone be the first.
➵ something seemed familiar about your voice, and urbosa realized that it was reminding her more and more of princess zelda as she listened on to your ramblings.
➵ you were childlike, yes, but urbosa could tell from voice alone that you werent weak. had she ever thought of the princess in this way?
➵ if you were able to take control of a divine beast like vah naboris, some thousand years ago, what was stopping princess zelda from reaching her full potential now?
➵ the answer was simple the more urbosa thought about it. she should trust in the princess to do her job, there was no use worrying about others jobs when she has her own.
➵ but something else about your voice was stirring something in her. some kind of longing. it was interesting to think that this young voice could belong to someone so many years older than her. urbosa wished she could have met you, and shared in the glory of being a champion
