The sky is clear for once, mostly. There are clouds that drape lazily across the vault of the sky, pulled into strings and feathers. They obscure a floating tower, with shattered crags and hard stone foundations. The sloping palace exists in the sky, lingering high above the heads of Hylians and monsters alike. Very few notice it, as the area it lingers over is often unpopulated.
Within its halls there wanders a spirit, restless. It is not sure how it came to be inside this particular palace. Faded blond hair and even more faded skin stands out only as different shades against the alabaster of the palace. Ghostly fingers run along the walls, and sometimes on the ends and edges of furniture.
There is no evidence of his presence, very little is disturbed. Why is he here, he wonders.
He searches his memory to before he had arrived, and nods. Yes. That was why. He had been thrown out of a different Wind Palace, another Wind Palace, somewhere else. Somewhere far off. And he had wandered to give his friend space. Friend? No. That wasn’t really the right word. They weren’t really friends.
It hurt to admit that. That they weren’t friends. But there was no other truth to it. Mini had stuck around to try to talk sense into him, and he would return to the same palace later... But his friend needed to... to cool off. He didn’t usually LIKE Mini’s visits, as they often ended in windstorms. But for some reason, come hell or high waters, the spirit returned.
Even if he went far away, like he is now, he returned.
His hands lift from the wall as he comes to a sunlit garden. Statues. It’s always statues.
Stone makes him uncomfortable, for many reasons, though the one is burned into his memory so deep that he will never forget. The spirit takes an unnecessary breath, and a crooked cane appears in hand. He doesn’t have the sword, so he has the cane, and he lifts it, swings, and watches the first statue slide like the rug were pulled from under it. Its base rotates and the stone creature smashes onto its head, cracking.
The sound is somewhat satisfying, but it does not ease the boy the way he thought. It only makes him sick and sad. But he will not be going anywhere. Not until his friend has cooled down.
