 the   tranquility   of   zora’s   domain   was   truly   incredible   ,   boasting   CRYSTAL   CLEAR   WATERS   illuminated   by   the   blazing   sun   overhead   ,   &&   not   a   beast   or   monster   anywhere   in   sight   ,   just   the   grand   architecture   of   king   dorephan’s   throne   room   &&   the   pristine   statue   of   his   beloved   daughter.   yet   her   train   of   thought   is   already   occupied   with   more   pressing   matters   ,   hence   why   she’s   chosen   to   isolate   herself   ,   head  situated   in   her   hands   &&   COMPLETELY   OBLIVIOUS   to   the   rest   of   the   world.   it   was   laughable   ,   the   very   notion   of   the   goddess’   aide   possessing   no   power   whatsoever   —   of   course   ,   such   was   to   be   expected   after   being   sealed   away   for   a   century   along   with   the   hylian   champion   ,   yet   it   does   little   to   reassure   her.   knees   tuck   up   to   her   chest   as   she   lays   her   head   down   upon   them   ,   unaware   of   the   zora   prince   lingering   nearby   due   to   the   INTRUSIVE   THOUGHTS   overwhelming   her   subconscious.   what   good   was   she   in   protecting   the   land   from   the   calamity   —   ?

@zhanshi​ said : “Don’t get up, you’ll make it worse.” ((From Gladio!))

It felt like her mind was trapped in a fog, a haze that made it impossible to get her thoughts straight. Slowly it was fading but not in time to keep her from trying to sit up to see what was going on. A sharp pain coursed through her being despite the medication she had been given while unconscious. What also stopped her from moving further was a familiar hand that rested on her shoulder, easing her back down onto the bed. Even with the lingering haze, she knew full well who it was as she looked over at him. He had always been there for her, ever since they were younger. Their occupations did keep them busy but it was a mutual understanding. “Gladio.. Where are we?”

That question triggered flashbacks to come rushing back to her of what happened that day. Nix was sent out with some others to handle a disturbing report of a daemon that was attacking innocents, even getting close to the roads. The details of the beast itself was still a blur but what was crystal clear was that she saw someone in her team in danger. Her body simply moved without thinking and shoved them out of harms way. Excruciating pain came over her afterwards and the rest was a blank. There was a dull throbbing pain in her left arm but when she reached over to touch it.. Nothing was there, only a small portion of her left arm remained and it was tightly bandaged. 

So that’s what happened. Nix managed to shove the other to safety but her outstretched arm had been taken in exchange. Part of her was relieved at the thought that the others were safe. The other wasn’t sure what to make of this situation now. She didn’t want to be forced to quit being in the guard but she was down a vital limb and who knew how they must’ve viewed her now. Surely the woman looked reckless and idiotic after such an impulsive decision but it was one she’d made again if she had to do it all over again. There was one person whose thoughts mattered most to her and he was sitting beside her.. “I.. I’m sorry. I must’ve made you worry about me again.”

@zhanshi​​   asked   ✿ ( from Ling Tong B) )   //   send   one   for   a   scenario   !

         ───── ❝ ☯ ❞ ─────    They mock him, try to HUMILIATE him, make fun of the flaws in his speech when he talks; he’s a FOREIGNER, of course he will make mistakes. They drag him PROUDLY, feeling victorious even when they’ve returned LESS than half the number they left with; his doing. They ACCUSE him of ambushing them when the truth is they are the ones who initiated the conflict; they had seen him receiving money from someone who’s hired him for a job that Liam has fulfilled. GREED has got the better of them, but their missing leader, Zhong Zhu, comes back to join them, asking for an explanation to the fight. All they say is mere LIES, putting the blame on Liam. Unfortunately, Zhu believes THEM, and he decides to bring his captive to what he thinks is JUSTICE, leaving the final decision to Sun Jian. Forced on both knees, Liam doesn’t LOWER his head, looking right into the eyes of the leader of Wu, gaze PIERCING, anger obvious.
