I have missed you, Sire.

Clearly, I still stand.

"Why do you wear that face? Are you a ghost?"

(legendarylullaby)

Maybe I am, princess. Maybe you should be worried. Maybe you shouldn't sleep so tight.

Sire... I did not think our paths would... would meet again.

The Gerudo stops in his path, eyes seeking the shade that speaks to him--and he's guarded, expression neutral, but fingers tightening on the stone slab he carries until it creaks dangerously.

"...Who are you?" The Gerudo asks, simply, standing tall and proud. "I do not recall your face. Why speak as if you know me?"

People went by -- never wanting to risk it with the devil's offspring. And they did rightfully so : he wasn't willing to experience kindness either. Because kindness was pity. But even hearts made of stone can break someday.

Someday, someone's tenderness might find its way through the ruins. It would be so subtle that he wouldn't even notice ; and soon, the dead tree looks immaculate, looks pretty. There would be times when the snow melts away...

But it always comes back.

@sinsofhyrule "Looks like this will take a while, huh..." Too focused on his tool, the shade did not immediately notice the other man. He was busy toying with the sheikah device, a screw now stuck between his teeth as he was using another one to mess with the machine. But, eventually, he heard the deity. "Oh."

Amusing? Quite a bit... But where in the world did he get that?

" Oh? " he echoed back, he was relaxed. Unworried as he approached just a bit closer, " Hello there, Shade, been a while. Has it not? "

" Where did you find Sheikah tech? Not very common, and you want to take it apart? "

@sinsofhyrule hit like for a starter!

Time magic remained strange to her, Zelda still learning what her limits were, how to read the flow of time, how to ignore the different pulls and pushes that the magic tried to confuse her. Her lessons with Sonia had been brief, only covering so much. Most of what she knew now was self-taught through trial and error.

Much trial and error.

Sometimes, no matter how much she focused on her power, it did its own thing, catapulting her through time instead of the smooth steps she could manage. That's exactly what had just happened - the magic took it upon itself to determine when and where she ended up.

This time, it deigned to drop her - literally drop her - on top of someone. She pushed herself up to see the man she'd landed on. "I'm - I'm so sorry. Are you alright?"

The device led him to a Hyrule he didn't recognize : another timeline, again. Next to a being that was radiating an aura he's never seen before. It was dark, just like his. But so much more tainted. It was so evil a shiver went through his spine, so the shade hid as best as he could. Praying for the Goddesses to, once in a lifetime, pity him. Scared to discover what that demon could do to him.

"For the love of Hylia, why won't you work..." He pestered, trying to make the sheikah tool work. As usual, it needed time before being usable again. Could be hours ; could be days. It seemed inevitable, now : he was going to get noticed.

the land was silent . burning fields in the distance that darken the sky ⸻ the sun could not break through . the god stands at the top of the hill , overlooking the fire that spread across the land : killing the humans who cower in fear ... weaklings , begging for their goddess to save them , to protect them . they know not of the true fire that the avatar can bring to them for their fragility .

he breathed in for a moment : all this hell for the gift of their mothers . the power to rewrite this world in the image he sees fit .

the triforce .

than , he wasn't alone ⸻ a being tainted with darkness , one borne from his magic & vile nature . a child of sin & hatred , spawned & lived for slaughtered : a shadow of another . the god did not turn to him . he allowed him to stand in his space for now . they had successfully diminished the numbers of hylia's army . there is a moment to relax . perhaps even celebrate if he so pleased .

❛ ... for the love of hylia .❜

now the god approaches the being , seeing just how small they truly were . little ⸻ walking like an insect . thinking like an insect : you are an insect . in a swift moment he reaches to the being , grabbing him by the collar & lifting him up with ease until they are face to face .

❝ if you value that meat on your body , you will obey . lest i flay flesh from bone & decorate my home with your carcass ... ❞ his breath is slow ... long pauses between each inhale & exhale ⸺ too long , inhumanly so . ❝ child of mine , speak : what is that object & why do you speak of my vile sister in reverence . i give you a chance to repent . now speak ⸻ or i may reconsider my blessing . your life . ❞

" Thought for sure after defeat, your type of being didn't come back. "

Disappointed, are we ? Turns out life cherishes me more than I cherish it.
