[o5] ‸^‸ Fifth Song.
Characters: AU!Link (OoT) (ocariness), Samus, and (eventually) AU!OoT Zelda, and whoever!!
Setting: 1) Meadow Floor (floor 25) (locked to Samus), 2) Infirmary. Set after this thread.
Format: ACTION PLEASE I cannot prose. At. All.
Summary: Link just got the shit beat out ofher them by AU!OoT Zelda who thought they were an evil jerk. Seriously wounded, she escaped using Farore's Wind. She's later helped by Samus to the infirmary where she doesn't (luckily!!!) die.
Warnings: Uh... lots of blood, BAD injuries (the damage: one arrow lodged in their left eye and skull, a cut under their left eye, full body burns, scrapes, bruises, a not TOO deep stomach wound from a blade, a dislocated shoulder, annnd lots of trauma.), possibly eyeball gore? Angst. Anything else TBA.
[1 - Locked to Samus]
[ When the magic of Farore's Wind had faded, Link found themself on the stairs of the Meadow Floor, where they quickly put the hookshot away on their hip and began limping, holding their shoulder and wincing, slowly, to the floor the Infirmary was on.
The wounds were extensive: the arrow had dug deep into the skin under their left eye and embedded itself in an awkward semi-vertical position with a small lean, somewhat into their skull, from the attempt to dodge it. Din's Fire had given Link burns all along their body. Luckily, none of them were worse than sore, due to Link's generally wearing several layers of clothing. The tunic, however (blue, but not the Zora one), had seen its last: it was charred and barely staying together. It as bloody, as was Link. The stomach had been ripped open where Link had been cut there, too, and was also bleeding. Their shoulder had definitely been at least dislocated upon landing on it, which was just par for the course of the pain they were feeling. On top of that, numerous scrapes and bruises and tears in the Tunic and their pants peppered Link's body; it had been a very, VERY rough fight indeed.
... Unfortunately, despite the Hero of Time's dogged determination, using that spell completely exhausted the last of her energy. There was too much blood lost and too much pain; they could not continue on, not without help. Exhausted, crying, and bleeding heavily, Link collapsed, back down upon reaching a section in the Tower's stairwell where there was a landing. With a single loud CLANK from the metal shield and sword on their back, they fell.
A second, smaller clank could be heard after their arms landed as well, from the gauntlets shortly following.
Still conscious, but only barely, with their remaining eye, they gazed up at the ceiling, wondering if they were going to die a third time. ]
[2 - OPEN]
[ Once they had finally been gotten to the Infirmary, the wounds were quite exstensive, so it would take a long time for Link to heal unless someone had healing magic or a fairy on them, which Link did not at the moment.
Perhaps you've run into Link while they're fixing their wounds, or perhaps you happened to find them after they were bandaged not unlike a mummy, especially around their head, arm in a sling. Either way, the hero is quite out of it, but it's not improbable you might have been told by someone that a certain long-eared blonde was here... ]

no subject
[... Unfortunately, she also believes this means that there is some goodness within him, if both a good and evil Ganondorf exist.
The next part gets a curious look from this Hero, though.]
... So, if I understand what you are saying, then... you are not...
[A man?]
... Like the other Links I may encounter?
no subject
I must say that it isn't thrilling to think somewhere out there is an evil counterpart to me that happens to be a man, either.
[ That answers everything in one fell swoop, she thinks! It does earn a small smile, if jokingly-- ]
Though, I would rather appreciate it if you did not run around telling people about that. The you that I know has been kind enough to keep it to herself. I trust her, so I shall trust you as well. It's a secret to nearly everyone.
no subject
You have my word, Link; I will tell not a soul.
... I apologize again for the trouble I have caused you, and I'll offer this one more time - but as friends.
If there is anything you need, you can ask me, alright? And I won't take no for an answer!
no subject
... I only ask you find a better way to test people you do not trust. My first instinct is always to reach for the Master Sword, because it takes me longer to remove my shield than it does unsheathing my blade.
[ Pausing to think, here. ]
It... also occurs to me that I should tell you every Link that I know personally, here, is either related to me by ancestry or by some form of bloodline... I am not sure how that works, but... I only ask that you give them the benefit of the doubt. My ancestor is an idiot most of the time, but he means well.
... And when I say idiot, I mean he opens his mouth and no thought of what comes out of it happens prior.
no subject
[She can't help looking away again, a little embarrassed.]
But don't worry; I've already been informed that there is no Link I cannot trust, here. I will not raise my blade against them.
... And I'm sure "idiot" suits him just fine. You seem like a good judge of character after all.
no subject
... I used to be like that. Do not be too hard on yourself. It takes making mistakes to learn from them.
[ A small smile, and Link looks away, bashfully. ]
I... think that is what the Princess would say, at least. Admittedly, she has been a very good teacher.
no subject
[How does she put this?]
... Much wiser, than myself. She seems very kind, and very bright.
It's almost hard to believe we are the same person...
[Seriously.]
no subject
I think there is a reason for that. You would have to ask her, though. ... I am very nearly certain is has much to do with Nayru, as does her magical ability.
no subject
... May I ask something? I... I know this is probably a very wrong time to ask, but...
May I borrow your bow and quiver once more? With permission this time, of course - and a lot less force as well.
[Ahaha. Hahaha. Ha.]
I do not have one of my own, but it felt so natural to use... I would like to get more practice.
no subject
I can make you one when I recover, if you would like. I suppose that answers my next question...
[ When she was from. ]
no subject
[blink.]
no subject
[ Sounds about right, otherwise, you would have the fairy bow. ]
no subject
[So yeah no, she's bowless. Unfortunately.]
... I would love to have my own bow, though; and I would treasure one made by you.
no subject
... I see.
[ Link is in quiet contemplation. Hahaha their skull now has a small fracture in it and their eye is seriously aching.
Even if they'd had help with the healing thing? Yeaaah. ]
You still have a long way to go.
no subject
Just from the look in your eyes, I can tell you have gone through a great deal more than I - though, I'm not sure if that is from our journey, or this tower...
no subject
However awful this place may be, I would rather die a third time if it meant that I could help a single person here.
Hyrule is... extremely important to me, and not simply because it is my home. I would not consider myself Hylian if I had never... set foot outside the forest, after all. Even knowing the things I do now about what will happen if I succeed in saving it...
[ There is a very long, thoughtful pause. Link looks up, here, closing her eyes for a long moment.
Eventually, she speaks again. Whether or not it is from being tired or in pain is hard to say. ]
... But this place is important to me, as well. ... If only for the people here. They need someone to give them hope where it is scarce and death is inevitable. Where we know nothing of if what they say about our homes is true.
I... am not sure if I am fit to carry my title at all. It is an extremely heavy burden. But... I will do everything I can to help others so that they may be just a little happier until I can find a way to send us to our homes, both intact.
no subject
We aren't that much different, aside from experience. ... Which I seem to lack.
[Whoops, ahaha.]
But - you seem to be a kind and well meaning person; and it is brave of you to put yourself in such a position for the good of others.
[Zelda gives the other girl a warm, hopefully comforting smile, her hands folded in her lap.]
I will give you my utmost support, and I will do whatever I can to help you, during our stay here. I know I am no Navi, nor am I like the Zelda you know, but I hope I can be of use to you in some way.
no subject
[ She had to go through having her EYE pulled out, okay? It... was not easy. ]
If you have further questions, I would like to suggest you talk to the Princess. Forgive me for my lack of manners, but... I have not quite recovered, yet, and I have yet to--adjust.
[ She needs to learn things again with the loss of most, though not all, of her depth perception, after all. ]
no subject
[She stands then, straightening out her outfit a bit before taking the bow and quiver again.
She gives the other a polite little bow then, before turning to leave.]
I hope you heal quickly, Link. And if you need me, send someone to find me.
no subject
It isn't that Link wants to cut this short, it's simply that... for all the gusto she is managing?
She is actually in pain and exhausted, and still trying to get over the feelings of trauma from all that occurred.
She did not want to appear as hurt as she was around this Zelda because it would only give her cause for further concern.
It would be better if she did not know how bad it truly was.
She merely nods at the statement, before slowly laying back down again. Right now, she just wanted rest. ]
no subject
But then she recognizes the voice that doesn't belong to Link. And she is not pleased.
As the Hero leaves, she'll pass the Princess waiting on the other side of the door, lips pursed and eyes narrow. She speaks quietly, as to not disturb Link, but there is coldness in her voice.
Kind and bright, is she? Only to those on her good side.]
... You lied to me.
no subject
Instead, she gulps a little before speaking - just as quietly.]
... I did not mean to. I had met with them before you had found me.
At that time, I believed I was in the right. I know now that I was wrong.
[It takes her a moment, but she does look to her now; her expression apologetic.]
I don't know how, and they have not told me; but I will repent however you deem necessary.
[That's all she can do, isn't it? She can't exactly give the other girl her eye back.]
no subject
[She remains stoic, not easily swayed by pitiful eyes. Link may not be angry, and really, the Princess is not really surprised that the hero isn't, but she is pissed.]
Trust is not a thing so easily gained, and I was wrong in granting you my trust so quickly simply because we share a face. I shall not allow myself to be fooled again.
[She tilts her head then, looking down her nose at the other with scorn.]
I do not want your atonement. Nothing you can do will erase the memory of having to rip out my best friend's eye. What I want is for you to know this: hurt someone dear to me again, and I will not be so restrained in my anger. Understand?
no subject
[Seriously. How the hell do you put that delicately?]
But I understand. I promise it won't happen again - though I'm sure that means little to you now.
no subject
[Yeah, that calm composure is starting to break now, revealing the seething fury that lies beneath. Distantly, some part of her knows she's being a bit unfair, but she has been through too much, watched too many of her friends be hurt with no way to help them to care at the moment.]
Learn to deal with difficulties quickly, or you will not last two days in this place.
