"You will see us again, Sailor".
Those were the last words the captain had told him before he returned to his era. At first, he was confused. There's not a threat anymore, there's not gonna be another adventure with his brothers.
But that single line had filled him with hope. A hope he held into to this day.
A few months had passed, and Link went into another adventure into a Hyrule, which it was familiar to him but different altogether.
It took everyone single cell in his body to figth the urge to run ahead and hug the people he later would called brothers.
But Link just stared at the people in front of him. Warriors was bent down to his knees, so he was at Link's eyes level. He was the same as ever, with the only difference being the green cap he wore on his head. A young child was peeking behind the captain with a familiar yellow fox mask on the side of his head.
Those were not the Warriors and Time he knew. They were just an earlier version of them. A version that they didn't know him.
The thougth made Link's heart skip a beat. He realized that maybe this is how Time and Warriors felt when they saw him.
Both of them always talk about their experiences in the War of Ages and then look at him like they expected him to comment on it, only to be met with a confused stare.
Maybe they thought he was playing a prank on them, and they waited until Wind would get frustrated and drop the act and say something like: "I can't believe you didn't fell for that! I thought i had you! That's not fair!"
Only for it to never happen. And then they realized a little bit too late that their little brother they once knew wasn't him.
He was not the sailor they met at the war. The one who ended up bonding, eating, laughing, fighting, caring with.
He was the same person, just a later version of him. And now the roles were reversed.
Link understood the Captain's and the Old man's sadness at his departure. They were never going to see him again. But he was gonna, and for them, it was gonna be their first meeting.
Fate is a cruel thing.
The sailor forces away the feelings of sadness and confusion who threatened to swallow him whole.
But remnants of his true feelings still linger on his face. He couldn't force his eyes to hide how he truly felt. His ears stayed low, even as he looked into their eyes and introduced himself to them.
Both of the people, who he make memories, happy and sad ones, noticed his mood but didn't comment it.
Despite his mind and logic telling him that these people were not the ones he once knew. Link knew that just like him in their quest, they gonna become both the Captain and the Old man he once knew.
Maybe Link wasn't related to them by the Hero's Spirit, and he was still too young to be a hero of Legend, but he was still a Hero of Courage.
This Hyrule needed help. And he was still going to help his brother defend the land he held so dear.
Maybe they don't know him yet, but he is here now, and he is going to make sure he is the sailor that both Warriors and Time would remember.
I haven’t been live posting thoughts on Path of Night’s War of Ages but I’ve been loving it. I find it’s not a podcast I can consume while doing most other things. I constantly have to rewind it, I feel like every other line is a subtle tell of what’s to come in some way. It just feels so packed with lore!
Just started on pisode 5, and so curious about everyone
Catrinel feels like… I get the feeling she is so measured with her words and gestures because she is truly barely controlling all the rage inside of herself?
Sadhbh… ooh I am loving what we’re learning about her and her relationship with Roland. She feels like her emotions and anger are wafting out of her and only keeps a lid on it because of Roland.
Speaking of Roland, who I thought was a cinnamon roll/golden retriever for a moment… unsure if that’s the case. I definitely get the feeling he ‘came of age’ in Paris among Toreador and that has… maybe given a pretense that he is courtly etiquette but I also get the feeling he sticks his foot in his mouth often. Him and Sadhbh very interesting dynamic.
Zorion - oh baby boy wants to just play his guitar and sword fight with Roland but there’s something about that shadow hand… something about the weight of his clan and his duty that keeps him from doing that. I get the feeling that he is someone who understands how heavy the crown is and secretly wishes he could take it off
And then we have Alexios! Who… is just a fun little guy but also can pick locks super well, has mysterious walks in the underworld (?), and a shadow baby could not follow him even though the shadow baby can basically follow anything. What is behind this - i’m just a fun guy - mask??
