Hyrule traces the glowing gold on the back of his hand.
His glove is held loosely in his other hand, letting the light pulse softly in the darkness. Power sits at the top, full and intricate and bleeding magic into Hyrule’s own. Wisdom resides below, a calming, clear presence. Courage thrums with a special resonance, feeding the fire and concern in Hyrule’s heart. It’s Courage, he thinks, that the nudge to take off his glove came from.
He pulls his finger back, letting out a deep breath.
It’s not often that he’s tempted to use the Triforce. But if there was ever a time…
Carefully, Hyrule pulls his glove snugly back in place and the glow dies, making room for the fireflies and soft light of the moon filtering down through the forest.
Hyrule takes one more breath to steel himself, then lifts a hand to push past the thick vines ahead of him.
When he steps through, his breath catches.
Moonlight spills into the small clearing, bright enough that Hyrule could be convinced it was day if not for the shadows and stars still visible in the sky. The light concentrates on the gleaming blade, sticking out of a pedestal and sparkling orange and white and blue as the light plays around it.
(This… must have been what the others saw, on their adventures.)
Hyrule pushes back the emotion and takes a soft step forward, boots sinking into the thick grass.
(It’s incredible that he never found this place before. With the magic hiding it, protecting the sword, he supposes one needs to know where to look.)
He comes to a stop at the foot of the pedestal, footsteps against stone. He assesses the worn leather grip, the chipped edges on the golden-orange blade. (The evidence of his brothers in the make of it, the wear of it, the magic that twines around and through it.)
“Well, Fi,” Hyrule whispers, and it feels like the wind answers. “It’s nice to meet you, officially.”
