🎪 ɪᴛ ꜰᴇʟᴛ ꜱᴛʀᴀɴɢᴇ ʙᴜɪʟᴅɪɴɢ ᴀ ꜱɴᴏᴡᴍᴀɴ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍɪᴅᴅʟᴇ ᴏꜰ summer, but it made sense that the twilight tundra would have snow year-round.
when she was a kid, pomni had loved building snowmen. every time school was canceled because snow, it became an unspoken tradition. as she got older, though, that tradition slowly disappeared. whether she simply grew out of it or was expected to, she wasn't entirely sure. her parents were just a bit overbearing, maybe they just loved her a little too much.
she'd been raised to focus on academics, then a career-- to chase stability and success... all the things adults were supposed to want. somewhere along the way, she never really got the chance to just be a kid.
watching the NPCs and the other festivalgoers laugh and play in the snow tugged at something deep inside her, a quiet nostalgia she'd almost forgotten. there was no one here to tell her she was too old for it. no one watching, no one insisting she grow up.
before she even realized what she was doing, pomni knelt down in the snow, ignoring the cold bite against her exposed knees. she scooped up a handful of powder and began rolling it into a ball, slowly packing together the base.
fuck it. let's build a snowman.

"Come on, go with your momma!" Tetra shooed some younger kids away. She should have known better than to be nice. Giving an inch to the little ankle biters and they'll take a mile! She guess it was in her nature. Seeing them stare with longing at the freshly made sweet bread had tugged on her heart. At least it didn't cost her too much dust.
She pulled tight on her cloak as she walked leisurely. Seeing everyone build snowmen was strange to her. Many of the islands back home were tropical and snow was a rarity. Even the single island that was laced with cold magic was all ice.
She paused in her walk when she noticed someone in a strange outfit building a snowman. Tetra gave her a look over. She was practically wearing summer clothes!
"Seriously? Does no one know how to take care of themselves?" Tetra let out an annoyed groan. She went over to the little jester.
"You're going to freeze to death if you don't find something warm." Tetra removed her cloak and handed it to Pomni. Thankfully, Tetra was dressed in warm clothes. Losing a layer wouldn't kill her.
Claus paused in the air, head turning to look toward the amplified voice instinctively.
What was it? An announcement? An order? A command? The answer was…none.
Keep fighting. A girl on the stage had called… Countless times had Claus heard those words, willing himself up each and every time no matter the state he was in. But this declaration was…different. It was no admonishment or barked order. Rather, it almost sounded like an encouragement. Especially when followed up with her desire to help.
When was the last time he had received back up during a mission?
Emotion sparked within his chest, pulling at the rest he tried to smother beneath the apathy he’d become all too used to.
Claus wasn’t sure the unknown girl could see him from where he was, but he nodded all the same before flying back into the fray. He had a mission to complete, it becoming easier didn’t mean he could slack off. It meant he had to work harder, the harder he worked the sooner it’d be over. The sooner everyone would-
“!?”
Claus gasped when a voice rang through his mind, the surprise almost making him miss his shot with an arm canon. It still hit, thankfully, the chimera-esque being screeching as a result. The attack absolutely did more damage than prior to the girl’s musical support. However, that wasn’t what Claus’s attention was on.
He flew up again, eyes darting around for any other possible source of the voice. Even if it was in his head, it wasn’t the one he’d wished it’d be. No, that voice was…wait how had she..?
There was no time to fly over and ask, not in the middle of combat. Already he could see the enemy pursuing the source of their newfound weakness.
Steadying himself, Claus focused on combat, taking fire at the quicker foes before diving in to finish them off with his blade. However, even if he was busy with the enemy, it didn’t mean he couldn’t respond back. Hesitantly, his own mind reached out. His own energy, previously closed off and fraying, attempted to reach the mind of the unknown girl’s.
Did you…speak to me..?
His own voice tried to call out, distorted and possibly muffled due to the instability of his own PSI. But an attempt nonetheless.
Zelda felt something poking into her mind. She hadn't expected the boy to speak back to her with his own telepathy. She continued to sing her ballad while reaching out to him.
I did. I saw you fighting with such desperation, I couldn't just hold back.
Zelda looked up and spotted him. It wasn't too hard when all of the fighting took part on land. However, she couldn't see him too clearly. All she could make out was his silhouette and those wings. Against the backdrop of the moon, he looked sinister and terrifying. Zelda knew better.
I don't know what's going on in your heart, but don't let it overcome you.
Zelda had gotten distracted by their conversation and didn't realize one of the monsters had jumped onto the stage. She turned when it approached her and let out a frightened shriek when it attacked it. She managed to throw herself out of the way, dropping her lyre as she hit the ground.

"Maybe I should get a job..." plundering without a crew or a ship just didn't hit the same.
Zooble leaned over a railing overlooking the current jousting match, but found it quickly uninteresting as the use of foam arms made it look too silly. They moved back, about to leave, when they heard the person next to them echo their thought.
"I don't get it. There's different materials they could use if they wanted safety." They mumbled under their breath watching as the current rider dropped their foam lance.
Zelda was taken aback for a moment when Zooble spoke to her. She had never seen someone like them, but offered them a seat besides her.
"Even then, they have a faerie healing all their wounds! Why not let them use something a little more dangerous? It builds character!" Zelda would have been more inclined to join herself if the lances weren't so ridiculous looking. Maybe she can get Vio and Shadow to joust for her amusement.
"I'm Zelda, by the way. Who are you?"

"This would be more exciting if they were allowed to use real lances." Zelda pouted and rested her cheek against her hands. What was the point if there wasn't a little danger involved? If anything, it was more embarrassing to watch people fall off their horse from something so soft looking.
"Oh? You mean one wasn't enough?"
"Tell me more."
He's been exposed to his share of faiths since coming to this city, but there were always new pantheons to whet his interest.
"Where I come from, only one God reigns supreme."
That was strange to hear. Only one God to create everything?
"Sure, almost every person knows the story by heart." Even if the stories were now deep under the sea.
"There’s Din, the Goddess of Power; and, Farore, the Goddess of Courage. All three of them created my world. Din created the material world; Nayru created the laws; and, Farore created my kind to uphold those laws. After they finished, they departed to the Heavens and left us a sacred relic hidden in a realm."
Tetra looked down at her hand. This man didn't seem dangerous and whoever brought her here was strong enough to seal her piece. She raised the back of her hand to show a faint birthmark.
"An evil man wanted the sacred relic. When he touched it, it broke into three. One went to him, the second to the one carrying the hero's spirit, and me."
Tetra wasn't all too enthused by her fate, but if the Goddesses willed it, so be it.
"I suppose." Aurelius dismisses his fireballs with a sigh. Trying to work his powers under the current limitations was like squeezing water out of a twisted hose—difficult and inefficient.
At least now they could relax for a bit.
"Who is Naryu? Your God?"
"You seem practiced with your barrier."
"Have to be if I'm going to survive this place. The barrier is the only thing keeping me alive!"
She nodded her head. This guy was sharp! Tetra liked him more and more!
"That's right. She's one of the Three Golden Goddess, the Goddess of Wisdom."
Aurelius looked at her, considering, before speaking his mind. "It'd be a dire day indeed if I actually let you down."
Anyone could see that Tetra was a child. What sort of protector would he be, if he couldn't even look after her himself?
"I've had some success with targeted attacks before—let me know if I miss any."
With that said, the angel starts launching fireballs precisely at the robot's heads, with the aim of letting the flames burrow through the crevices and cracks to inflame the sensitive circuitry within!
Tetra nodded her head and watched the robots closely. Her plan was working and she didn't see any of the robots move or attempt to get up. She lowered the barrier with a sigh of relief. That was one problem taken care of!
"Thank Nayru they're all gone." She dusted her hands. She really needed to get a better grip on these spells. She looked to Aurelius.
"Thanks for the help, big guy." She crossed her arms. "It should be much easier to find a way out now."
"Helloooo! Are you here to be our super friendly guide and lead us out of here?" Seeing as she wasn't attacked on sight by the robot standing in front of her, Aerith figured it was worth a try to start communicating. Unfortunately for her, not only does it say nothing in response, but it proceeds to then copy her entire appearance, complete with her guard stick! "…Okay, not creepy at all--" she starts, but doesn't get to finish as it starts to cast blizzara, forming small icicle spears that she just barely manages to duck out of the way of!
"Cool! Not friendly and definitely not a guide! Wow!"
Tetra didn't think being on the moon was something she'd do, but here she was. She made her way through the compound, only stopping in her tracks when she heard someone yelling. She hurried towards the sound only to see a girl being attacked by her twin. Tetra panicked as she summoned lightning to strike down the attacker.
"Are you okay?" She called out to Aerith.
Hey, I need another one of your bombs!!! hand it over!!
"Ah! Ah! Ah!! I don't think sooooo-oooo-ooo...I don't hand these out to just anyone!"
"WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU'RE DESERVING OF ANOTHER IF YOU CAN'T EVEN SUCCEED THE FIRST TIME?! ARE YOU TRYING TO TRIFLE WITH ME, YOUR HIGHNESS?"
"Give me a break! It was a rookie mistake is all!! I'll definitely blow him up this time!!"
Hey, I need another one of your bombs!!! hand it over!!
"Ah! Ah! Ah!! I don't think sooooo-oooo-ooo...I don't hand these out to just anyone!"
"WILL YOU LET ME GO----?! Just what do you even have in mind for these?!"
"I may have messed up with the bard... he has the first bomb now."
Hey, I need another one of your bombs!!! hand it over!!
"Ah! Ah! Ah!! I don't think sooooo-oooo-ooo...I don't hand these out to just anyone!"
She grabs him in a headlock and gives him a noogie. "I AIN'T ASKIN', TWERP."
oops, she forgot to light the fuse before running off...
"A temporary alliance, perhaps."
"Don't let it go to your head."
"Aw, you don't want my royal favor?" She took out her hairpin and carefully maneuvered under Shadow's hat to place it in his hair. "That's fine."
"I still have your bomb! Looks like I have an enemy, after all, to use it on!"
"Not bright, that one." Shadow tutted and shook his head. "I'd love nothing more than to be backup." The bard hadn't done anything particularly terrible to the shade. He just liked to torture the locals.
"Does that mean you're joining my crew, then?" She has the same attention span as Shadow!
