Here's the final part of Twilight and Time's adventure in the dungeon. After this, I think Twilight will think twice before going exploring a dungeon with his Master 🤣
Hope you like it!💖

Slowly trying to get back into writing, so I did some short fics inspired by @zelda-the-sacred-realm and their characters! This is unedited, so if the grammer/spelling aint right then MY BAD!
Also, I dont know how accurate these are to the characters but this is how I interrupt them!
Characters: Link, Sky, Twilight
Warnings: The second story ( Tired ) is ANGST! There are self deprecating thoughts and doubt. Nothing graphic
A Moment
Word count: 300+
It was an uneventful night so far, Link had set up camp off the beaten path with a small fire that slowly cooked a soup Wild had taught him. Poking at it with a spoon, the hero lets out a drawn out sigh as the process stretches on and on.
This was one of the worst parts of cooking, waiting. It smelt so good! But if he took his eyes off for a moment the stupid thing would-
"Say, you have a moment?"
A squak escapes him before he could stop himself. Link whips around with his spoon brandished, splattering food everywhere. "Wha-!"
Almost instantly whatever anxiety fueled fight or flight response died as soon as Link found the source of the voice. Before him stood the Hero of Twilight, a comforting smile on his face even if his eyes betrayed his amusement.
"Well good evening to you as well, Link." The hero muses, gently pushing the 'weapon' to the side with a finger.
Link felt the back up of neck heat up, and he was certain it wasnt his campfire. "Ah! Uh- Mr- uh! HI! Sorry! G-good evening."
Internally cursing himself, Link quickly turns back to his soup. A quiet chuckle makes his ear flick as the heat spreads up his head and to his pointed tips. Shuffling catches his ear as well and before he knew it a familiar yellow glow twinkles in the corner of his eye.
As the hero of Twilight makes himself comfortable on the cool night grass, he sighs to himself as he admires the Hyruilan night sky.
"The Twilight dont get stars quite like these." Twilight hums after a moment.
"...No?" Link furrows his brows, eyes flickering briefly to the hero.
"No." Quiet. "A shame I'd say. They're breathtakin."
Eyes follow his, peering past the canopy into the shining night sky. Quietly, Link wonders if he ever took the time to truly admire the stars. Did he ever give them more than a passing glance? Now that he was, could he discern where they were breathtaking or not?
"Yeah." He decided. "They are."
He could.
Tired
Word count: 400+
He was tired. So...so tired.
Travelling non-stop, more and more monsters rearing their heads and facing challenges that took more than just his body to get over. Link was tired. How couldnt he be? Before all of this he was just a simple smith- sure he had a bit more strength than most but besides that he was not...he was not the adventurer sort.
Link rested at the foot of the bed, hands running through his hair as a shaky breath leaves him. He considered himself lucky that this Inn had a free room so late at night or he'd be sleeping in the darkness for the umpteenth time in the row. But he doesnt feel lucky. Not tonight and not any one prior. With a groan -his muscles fighting against him at every moment- the boy laid back on the rough sheets with little relief.
Darkness engulfed the cramped room, he was certain he could reach both sides of the room if he just stretched. It was suffocating- the choked out moonlight and furniture fighting for space.
Limbs slowly curl into themselves as Link pulls his legs close. In a room so cramped yet he still felt so...small.
Link was so tired. He didnt want to be tired anymore. He didnt want to ache. He wanted to go home, back to his forge and friends. He just wanted to--
A shimmer of gold catches his eye. The medallion sat illuminated by the slivers of night light peaking through the window.
...He wonders if Sky ever felt like this. Did Wild? Twilight?..
Time?
A wet laugh leaves him as he rolls over, hiding from that damned thing’s taunting. What was he thinking? Of course they didnt. Legendary spirits- Legendary heroes, hand picked by Hyila herself. Real heroes. Real heroes who kept going no matter what, who didnt think of such trivial things- who saw the bigger picture and didnt indulge in selfish thoughts like he did. So why is he here? He was a coward, selfish, untrained, useless.
Teeth sunk into his cheek as he felt his eyes begin to burn, hands digging into the aching arms as a futile attempt of soothing himself.
Why? Why him? Why did he have to be tired? Why did he have to go on this journey when he's been told to his face he wasnt enough?! Why did he have to bare his blood and sweat for a goddess who took everything from him!
His parents. His grandpa. His--
Tears clouded his vision, streaming down his face and soaking the bedding as a choked sob is ripped from his throat and into an isolating room. He tried to stop him. Hands clawing at his face to smother this childish reaction but he just couldnt. He was *so tired*.
He just wanted to go home. He just wanted his friends. He just-
Link was so tired. So...so tired.
Teaching the Teacher
Word count: 300+
"Link, I have a question." Sky's cheery expression pops into his periphery.
"Yeah?" He answers, keeping his head forward.
The boy had just left a town -to not only stock up for the next trek of his journey but to also get any information he could- so the chances of him running into someone else was still rather high. And as much as it amused the spirits, he would rather not get weird looks for speaking to thin air.
"You had quite a lengthy conversation with that blacksmith back in town." His Mentor smiles. "If I remember correctly, you were one as well back in your village, right?"
Link blinked at that. "Yeah, how did you..."
A sudden memory from when the two first started travelling together comes to mind, as well as a...rather uh...*kind* young lady. His mentor laughs softly watching Link struggle to fight back the embarrassment rising on his face.
"Yeah." He sighs. "I was. Why do you ask?"
For a change, it was his mentor to gain a sheepish look for once. "Oh! well, I was just...curious on what that was like! I never quite got to learn that much about smithing myself so..."
"But didnt you forge the master sword?" Link asks, resisting the urge to turn his head.
"Ah! Well," The hero rubs his head. "On a technicality, no. Fi -the mastersword- was already an esteemed blade before I wielded her! All I did was gather power to bring her to her full potential. B-but I wouldnt consider that forging!"
Squinting at that, Link wanted to challenge his mentor on that. He had tempered the blade in divine(?) flame, hardened her steel and sharpened the edges. Perhaps he did not cast the sword nor hammered her into form but the hero did more than most ever could with even the simplest of blades.
But...the possibility of teaching his mentor something was an opportunity he simply could not pass up
"I'd be happy to tell you about the process, if thats what you're asking." Link offers, finally meeting his mentor's eyes.
"Truly?" Sky beams excitedly "Id like nothing more!"
...Huh.
Suddenly Link understands why Sky squishes his cheeks so often
Prepare yourself for the most excited screaming you've ever heard because this update is wonderful and I love it and I'm so excited about it that I'm writing this instead of sleeping and it will be worth it.
Set the clock its 12.45am lets see if I can do this before I have to go to bed for the morning shift.
Alright, now for the important stuff! Sacred realm belongs to @zelda-the-sacred-realm, and all art from the comics belongs to the comic artist. I've got their permission to do these!
Link to the comic can be found here! :D
Now, get some popcorn and if your like me probably an energy drink too and lets goooooo!
Firstly...
HI
HELLO THERE
OH MY
Big evil big bad. Who's hair is stunning i could never ngl.
(Investigates)
It's awesome to see the black knight like this. (I believe that's right? Correct me if I'm wrong.)
Though im trying to figure out what he found unexpected? Is it Sky? Is Sky the unexpected thing? Good, No body expects the blorbo to come out of the medallion and whoop ass.
Self-sacrificing boy please you are in pain
Cinnamon roll link please i know you're not used to this, but he's got this
He's so damn pretty dammit, pretty boy right here. Hylia chose him for his looks first, 10/10.
Yesssssssssss
GET THEM! GET IT!
THE FACT THAT THEY JUMP IN FRONT OF HIM IS GIVING ME SO MUCH LIFE THEY ARE LIKE PROTECTIVE UNCLES OF THE SMALL CINAMON ROLL.
Like low key look how Sky is moving he's pushing towards time but moving more to the right to do so then time is. Which would indicate that he's moved rather quickly to get in front of this thing.
They have to protect the small hero and it gives me life.
Okay, this all but confirms this isn't the first time they've done this.
Oh and it has to be said
BY THE POWER OF STUBBORN FRIENDSHIP!
That's a practised spell
(using a few panels from this update here) Chapter 4 - part 1
So, I think that the last time the spirits gathered was sometime around when Twilight was still alive, we know that Time had direct contact with Twilight because of the comic panels in the last update.
We also know that Time recognised Sky when he first appeared in the last update.
So there one of two explanations
The medallion or something akin to it has been used in a previous hero's journey. And so some of the spirit already know each other
Or being a spirit grants them foresight that they can just fight with each other like this.
Im more inclined to lean towards the first one at this stage because of that recognition from time but to be honest I think we need to meet Twilight first before we get any answers about that.
I am also going to assume the element that time yields is Electricity (Or time haha.)
It looks like lightning, but we've also seen him use a time spell so I'm not entirely sure at this stage.
Gonna lean towards lighting tho, it suits him
YEAH GET HIM!
He looks so tired, and the lines against him have been growing longer. I assume its more and more of the barrier sucking his energy away.
Pretty boy alert
i am once again an advocate for the Sky is the Best Bean Club he just needs a nap he's going to be fine
Also, Medalion jails for Sky because he's eepy.
I assume this is how we are going to keep Sky out of this arch, he is too tired and is resting from doing this now. I hope we see you soon blorbo!
HA
This made me chuckle, Time just grabbing him by the waist like the child he is brings me joy (Im aware Link isn't a child but he is in the cinnamon roll outfit right now so he is a child)
And time is older than him and is at current the only one who can help with the current predicament.
We interupt the end of this post for a Sky appreciation segment because he is the best bean and is my blorbo and got a bunch of great panels this update
He
Being the hero
Jumping into harm's way
The face of determination
He
Sleepy
Sleepy boy we got sleepy sky and I love him
Okay im done, We shall get back to the end now.
That's everything from me! :D
I hope you enjoyed my rambling please do let me know if you spotted anything I didn't! Thanks for hanging out with me and for uhh, also hanging out as I yell excitedly about my blorbo because, to be honest, I love him and it wouldn't be something from me if I didn't soooo....
Yeah!
Thanks again to the artist for letting me do this! I really appreciate it!
I literally fell in love with @zelda-the-sacred-realm and I want to give everyone the opportunity to experience some romance with their favorite characters from the story! Enjoy the reading!
Reader x Twilight
The first rays of the sun touch your face, this disturbs your sleep but you are too tired and try to ignore that it's already dawn.
You turn away to escape the sun's rays, you want to sleep a little longer but then you feel a weight resting on your waist.
You lead the hand to explore what you have placed on your body and you clearly feel that it's an arm.
You decide to continue the exploration, then move your hand up the strong arm and notice a cape, this leads to cutting off a couple of people, will be Time, Wild or Twilight?
You decide it's time to open your eyes, even if it's hard. You start to rub your eyes and focus on the face in front of you. When you can make out the figure in front of you, feel your face blossom in an uncontrolled blush, right in front of you was Twilight hugging you and sleeping with a sweet and almost boyish look.
Twilight pulls you closer to him and you squeal in surprise, the closeness making you blush even more. You get a better look at his sweet features, his soft tousled hair and following your feelings you place a hand on his cheek.
Your hand explores his face, tracing the soft contours you find irresistible, then your hand pauses to trace those runes on his cheeks but you see him wake up and look at you, his sleepy gaze making you blush further and you start hiding your face so as not to show your blush.
"G-Good morning Twilight " you say pulling your hand away from his face but in response he grabs your hand bringing it close to his mouth, holds your fingers and kisses them softly.
"Good morning" he says showing off a smile even brighter than the sun.
Waking up next to him, you wish it were like this every morning.
