Kaphona smiled, bouncing around her friend. "Kappo's birth! Kappo's birth!"

“ You found a bird? “ Shalbie said as Kaphona  surprised him. “who’s Kappo?” He added as he was still startled and couldn’t process what had happened as Kaphona had appeared suddenly while he rested in the lost woods.

   “You mean the Triforce? That’s a symbol for us. They don’t actually pray to it, do they? That’s weird. We’re the one’s who created that.It’s humanities…. trump card, I guess?  It’s kind of difficult to explain why we created it,” Farore hummed. She wasn’t quite sure how to respond to not looking… like a triangle.

   “…Well… we can’t exactly walk around in Golden Goddess form can we? That would definitely draw attention to us. However, we each have our own favorite colors that are not gold. Mine’s green. So I made all the forest and plant life green. Although, I guess it wasn’t green when I made it green in the first place,” She hummed. It was kind of weird explaining to someone how the basic laws of life sprang into existence, “It’s not a trick though. It’s kind of a weird thing to lie about. Wouldn’t it be better to lie and say I’m Zelda? Then I could just pretend to be Hylia–”

“Why would you pretend to be a lake though?” Shalbie said still a bit confused “... Fine I believe you, after all its in the trickster code not to trick someone if they already know the other can  trick them, it takes away from the joy of pranking.” He  added.

“ And well.... what’s a goddess  doing in the woods? Do you live here? Are you on  a holiday?" Shadow  asked as Curiosity filled   his thoughts. “ And if you are the deity of life, does that make you... you know... like my mother or something? I never knew her. Do I even have one? I just kind of   emerged from this guy’s shadow one day, does that make him my mother?”

   “Mmmm…. I guess you could call me that. Although, ‘queen’ is a bit beneath my stature. The better term is “Goddess”. I created all life, including the fae. Although, the fae seem to hold me in high regard for some reason. Perhaps it’s because our natures are similar?” She murmured. Farore had long since given up trying to figure out why some races favored one Goddess over another. Free will was a tricky thing.     “Oh, right! Yeah, sorry about that!” Farore flicked her hand and suddenly the vine released the shadow and fell limply to the forest floor, “The forest can be quite mischievous too if you know where to look.”

“Okay is this another prank? Because from hat I’ve heard and seen   the Gods Hylian people pray to  is a set of three gold triangles and you well, you  don’t look like a triangle.”  Shalbie said convinced Farore was still trying to play  atrick on him perhaps to  gain something.

“Besides my friend Link has told me his goddesses are golden, and you are green.”  He added “ I’m not falling for this trick of yours.”

[ashadowbetweenworlds]

deamaurea‌:

  A smile crossed her delicate features, “Well of course you don’t see them. They’re shadows, dummy!” Farore giggled. However, she doesn’t seem to elaborate further on what exactly she means. Instead she immediately switches the subject.

  The child blinks for a moment, “Yes, I believe my name in your language is now… Faron? Although the old texts call me Farore, the Goddess of Courage and Life. I’m technically also known as the Goddess of Winds too!” She explained and as if to prove a point a small gust of wind gently lifts her off the ground, “As for my favorite trick… Hmm…. Well, this is a good one!” She giggled and flicked her wrist. 

   Suddenly, the vines on the forest floor begin to twist and come to life— and promptly grab Shadow’s legs and dangle him upside down.

Shalbie   listened closely to Farore’s explanation trying to understand her point, but he honestly couldn’t. “ But Hylian’s see other Hylians...” he said  before Farore  continued. “ Faron.... Farore...I think Gramps mentioned that name before” He said lowly to himself before he was lifted from the ground. 

As Shadow  dangled form the vines a realization came to him. “ So Miss Farore, was it? Are you some sort of Fairy Queen? I’ve only seen Faeries do this trick before.”  He added as he tried to  set himself free from the vines my merging with  the shadows they produced on the ground. “ Also would you mind helping? Somehow I can’t set myself free.”

Shadow was tired of pulling pranks on the people of Kakariko and his friends were busy with work; so he decided to take a stroll around the woods near the village. As he walked   he spotted a green haired girl he had never seen before and decided to follow her and  pull one of his famous tricks.

Shalbie went the girl close trying not to be detected, only to fail and be discovered. “ How…” He said to himself before  appearing in front of the girl with a look of disbelief in his face. “ How?.. How did you Find me?!” he exclaimed surprised. “ You are the first person to ever do that!”

   Farore smiled, “My shadow seemed heavier than usual. See, my shadow isn’t usually so heavy because I’m mostly a being of light. Besides, you aren’t the first sneaky, sneaky shadow to try and scare me,” She hummed before she quickly continued to explain herself, “Oh! Also, it’s really hard to play a trick on the Goddess of the Fae. The Fae are all chaotic tricksters at heart… and I made them that way…. so I guess…. I am a trickster too? You can’t out trick a trickster Goddess? There are lots of reasons why your trick didn’t work, I think.”

[ashadowbetweenworlds]

Shadow was confused, how could someone tell the weight of a shadow if he himself couldn’t tell his own. “Wait there’s other shadows?” He asked as that comment caught him off guard. “I’ve never seen any besides me.”  He commented before Farore  mentioned she was a goddess. 

“Wait you are what?” He asked confused. “wait a fellow trickster?! then please tell me what is your favorite trick?”

@ashadowbetweenworlds liked for a starter.

“Even a sneaky sneaky shadow can’t sneak up on me! You’re going to have to do better than that.”

Announcement

Planning to Return here soon, but  I guess it would be more a of reboot kind of deal so most of my previous treads will be dropped; mostly because I have no idea on how to progress them.

A starter call might be dropping soon so keep an eye on that.

“Ooh a birthday party then, guess it will be fun then.” He added before Beep and sus showed up. “ I’m Shadow, but people call me Shalbie”  He said to Beep after she introduced herself. “ is red popular here or why do most of you have red hair, you all sisters?” He asked curiously since it was the first time he saw many people with red colored bangs.  “Also what’s in those boxes?”

“Well, not exactly sisters,” Beep answered. “But we are all related, in a sort of way.”

“Those boxes are full of presents!” Quartz explained. “Well, some of them are. Beep and Susumu brought some food too. But hey! Now that everyone’s here, we can start having cake and playing games now.”

Susumu let out a small whistle, and a strange blobby creature climbed out from under the couch. The creature was a midnight blue color, with several shiny silver stars across its body and what looked like hair covering one eye. The blob let out a small yawn and looked around the room, before her visible eye landed on Shalbie. She looked up at him and gave a curious squeak.

[ashadowbetweenworlds]

Shalbie Listened carefully  and then  was surprised when the blob creature. “ And who are you little buddy? I’m Shalbie!” He said as he approached the blob. “ I like  you, you kind of shine like me.  What’s your name?” Shalbie said exited as he  began to only pay attention to the slime.

“I Think I can help with that.” Shalbie said as he grabbed  the end  of the banner  and tried to find the spot where Bowyetta  wanted to hang this banner.  “Also what’s this party about? I mean  is there something special you are celebrating?” He asked as he  found the spot and began to try and hang his end as Bowyetta  worked with the rest of the Banner.

“Well, to be certain, Mr. Shadow…” Bowyetta began as she fumbled with the banner. “Bowyetta and the others, we are having missed of Miss Susumu’s birthday. She is knowing it is much being late but… Bowyetta was want to be doing something nice for Miss Susumu.”

No sooner had Bowyetta finished putting up the banner, however, than a voice came from the doorway. “Oh no, here we are, everyone!” Beep called out. She was carrying several boxes of varying sizes, and right behind her was yet another red-haired girl: This one was wearing glasses and a white shirt with a star on it.

Beep then walked over to Bowyetta and Shalbie. “Okay, Bowyetta,” she said. “I brought in Susumu just like we planned" She then turned to Shalbie. “Oh! You must be the friend Bowyetta said she was bringing. I’m Beep, and well, I’m sure you’ve met the other girls by now. And you are?”

[ashadowbetweenworlds]

“Ooh a birthday party then, guess it will be fun then.” He added before Beep and sus showed up. “ I’m Shadow, but people call me Shalbie”  He said to Beep after she introduced herself. “ is red popular here or why do most of you have red hair, you all sisters?” He asked curiously since it was the first time he saw many people with red colored bangs.  “Also what’s in those boxes?”

Meanwhile in a parallel universe where shadows are blindingly bright...

“Hey! I’ll have you know i’m pretty bright!”

“...”

“Wait... Oh you meant  as a light, like the Sun....”

Hyrule Holiday Headcanon: Ribbon Day

(Valentine’s Day is coming up which means tons of RP blogs are getting ready to rev up the fluff engines. I was talking to @luciombre and we wanted to put up something just a little bit different People are free to steal this idea and post it on their blog if they feel it’s interesting enough, and I might make an ask meme out of it eventually.)

What’s Ribbon Day? 

People have often associated thread and ribbon with human relations and history. In Japanese culture you have the red string of fate. In Greek mythology three asshole sisters basically dictate your life on their massive tapestry art project and determine the length of your life by thread. The list goes on. Hyrule isn’t much different, and while the history behind the holiday is unclear due to many different versions of the story, the theme usually relates to love on a romantic level. Over time it’s become a holiday to celebrate your ties between those who you’re close to in life.

Well can you tell us the story?

The most popular version is that a brave knight fell in love with a priestess that was about to be sacrificed to a demon that threatened to destroy the land. The demon lived in the deepest parts of the forests, where unlucky travelers are forever lost. When he asked for the Great Fairy’s blessing to rescue her, she offered him nothing more than a spool of thread with a beginning but no end. He was then instructed to tie one end of the thread to the temple doors and continue on his quest, leaving a thread path on his way. After defeating the demon and rescuing the priestess, he followed the makeshift path back home and they lived happily ever after. Sappy, ain’t it?

I guess but what do people do?

While there is a heavy emphasis on romantic love, it’s not exclusive to couples. Usually you start by giving someone close to you a ribbon, and each color has different meanings. There’s usually a big feast, featuring a large animal hunted by the local men. The most common one is boar, but octorocks, tektites, like likes, and helmasaurs have been used in the past. Hunting a lynell is the highest honor and is believed to bring great strength to anyone who hunts it and eats the flesh. There’s a big carnival where people participate in archery tournaments, contests, raffles, and all sorts of games. The event ends with a large bonfire and dance. There’s plenty of fast paced and fun music along with drinking. It’s really one big party.

What’s so important about these ribbons anyways?

The ribbons you use along with their color says a lot about the relationship and who they are receiving this from. They not only symbolize the tie you have with someone, but also the hope that the bond will never break and will follow you home. As for style, it can varry greatly. For poorer families, yarn is the most common material and is usually weaved by hand. Wealthier families use silk and high quality dyes that are more vibrant. Depending on the occasion, good luck or protection charms are sewn onto the ribbons. Silver bells can be attached to scare away evil spirits and dried flowers are added to attract prosperity.

Red - For lovers and the color associated with the holiday, typically symbolizing young love Orange - For nature. Popular among farmers, it’s tied on trees to thank the land for a good harvest and to continue the mutual relationship.  Yellow - For friendship. It is what it is and is a very popular color all around. Green - For close business relationships. Many shops usually give out a free ribbon to anyone who shops on this day along with employees who work for them, but more ornate ones are given to close vendors,  Blue - For family. Usually associated with loyalty and faithfulness, these are given to husbands and wives, siblings, and other close blood relatives. It’s usually a high honor to receive a blue ribbon from someone not related to you. Violet - For the unseen. A typical color for those who are superstitious or are associated with the magical arts. These are tied to paper boats and are sailed down the river to be picked up by Hyrule’s fabled creatures that walk by in order to acknowledge their presence and as a peace offering. It’s believed that finding one tied to your bedpost means that a goddess, fairy, deity, or any other non-human being power returns the blessing and blesses their year with joy and success. Also one of the most expensive ribbons since the dye is pricey. Pink - For unrequited love, a color popular among teenagers or those who don’t wish to be upfront about their emotions. While the meaning is ambiguous, a common belief and popular love charm is that tying the ribbon on the front door of your beloved’s house will lead them to you.  White - For engaged couples. These are usually saved as mementos after celebration and are adorned with intricate embroidery.   Black - For those that are no longer with us. Black ribbons are tied to a flower and placed on a grave of someone who has passed away. It’s not uncommon for family to tie these ribbons around a child’s favorite toy at night when they are asleep. Another common belief is that children will believe their loved ones will visit them in their dreams that night and they leave behind a black ribbon behind before returning to the afterlife. Think of it like Santa clause but slightly more depressing. Grey - For a truce. Usually given to people who don’t get along very well but will take a day off of fighting to celebrate in peace. Common among soldiers, warriors, and opinionated neighbors.

Who can celebrate?

While originating in Hyrule, anyone is able to participate. If anything, people are often invited from overseas to participate. Ribbons are also mailed out to people who are further away. They are tied around the envelope and are full of good wishes. Ribbon day is an open invitation to essentially celebrate the people you’ve gotten to know and enjoy a day of peace, food, and good luck in the future.

So that’s what we have. Feel free to keep this if anyone likes the idea. If there’s anything I can add please let me know and I’ll try to figure it out.

‘What do chuchus eat?’ Shalbie thought as he  took a quick look at the kitchen. ‘Maybe some  bread  to start is okay!’ He continued to go over the items on the pantry until he spotted a loaf of bread. ‘Wait it is a baby  so maybe just milk. Now where did Link leave the milk bottle?’

After a while of searching  Shalbie finally found a bottle of milk and still decided to bring the loaf f breath to cat slime. “I hope this is okay, I have no idea  what else is there to offer, maybe some jerky  i don’t know haven’t checked  what meat we have.” he added as he left the  milk and bread by  the slime. “Dig in!”

Cat Slime was beside himself with excitement. A new friend, and already he was being offered food! Best of all, the Repairman couldn’t stop him from “overeating” this time!

He hopped up and down in excitement, imagining all the pastries and sandwiches and fruits he would be diving into…

…Only to see a loaf of bread and some milk. Okay, it wasn’t a king’s feast, but it was something. His hopping slowed to a halt, squeaking a calm thanks before starting to nibble on the bread.

[ashadowbetweenworlds]

Shalbie nodded and let cat slime eat the bread and milk as eh continued to ravage Link’s kitchen after all he needed to take care of a baby and its unconscious friend. “Babies are little kids an kids like sweet things...!” Shadow said out loud as he  began to look for some sweets. “I Hope you like pie little guy, because I found some, looks to be made out of berries!” He said before he made his way back to his new friend. “Here you go! Also do you think  he is doing okay?  He looks sick. ” he added as he pointed at the repairman

“Ooh okay!  so you are like a rock person? I know some rock persons too!” Shalbie said to Phantom Quartz  before Bowyetta  came back  and asked him if he could help with the decoration. “ and how would that be done? do you have stuff to hang, or you just want me to help carry stuff?” He asked  eagerly  as he wanted to help his friend.

Quartz nodded. “Well, sort of,” she answered. “I’m more of a space rock than a land rock really. That’s interesting though. I never knew there were rock people on this planet too! I wonder what they’re like… Oh, anyway! I’d better go check on the food, and Bowyetta said she needs your help… Let’s talk more later, okay?“

Bowyetta waved for Shalbie to follow her, walking towards the kitchen door. “Bowyetta is needing of your help to be hanging this banner, Mr. Shadow,” she answered. She then held up the banner she was holding. It looked like she had decorated it herself, with a hand-drawn image of Susumu “Bowyetta has been trying to be hanging it herself, but it is keep to be falling down… Would you mind be holding of the other end? To be certain, Bowyetta is thinking that Susumu and Beepsumu will being here very soon.”

[ashadowbetweenworlds]

“I Think I can help with that.” Shalbie said as he grabbed  the end  of the banner  and tried to find the spot where Bowyetta  wanted to hang this banner.  “Also what’s this party about?
