[o6] ‸^‸ Sixth Song.

Characters: [personal profile]Link (Woods) and whoever happens upon them!
Setting: Floor twenty-five aka the Meadow Floor!!
Format: Action.
Summary: Link is training, because it takes their mind off of things, and because there was a lot to digest from that Q&A session, as well as the accidental post later.
Warnings: Flowers and training and also Ocarina playing! Oh, and if this counts as a warning... Link is a girl. She is hiding it, though. So unless your character has x-ray vision and can see her boobs or knows the truth, she will probably not admit it and will be otherwise lowering her voice and continuing to pretend she's a guy. ... Yeah.

[ One, two, three. Sword strokes, training, practicing, making sure that the sword in their hand... was worthy of being there.

When fighting, Link didn't need to think about all the things that bothered them. It was just them, and their blade.

Link had been making arrows, practicing with their bow, and fighting every night they got the chance. The monsters only grew stronger, but their resolve had only increased to not give up.

Eventually, Link moves on from the sword-training, rolling, jumps, and flips, to pulling out the various items and weapons the hero was known for.

The bow was first. Targets that Link had carved, strategically placed all over the floor, sometimes in very difficult spots, were where they were aiming. After not more than a minute to catch their breath, the Hylian began practicing their aim.

One bullseye.

Two misses. They'd gotten rusty due to getting accustomed to only one eye and compensating, so relearning to aim properly with both eyes now would be very important.

Every day, Link would come to this place, traveling the long way. Jogging, usually. They had a routine, it provided structure that the Hero of Time so desperately needed.

Navi was also gone. It wasn't fair, but they wouldn't give up.

Soon, the targets were all full of arrows. Some shined with a brilliant light. Some were on fire and subsequently put out. Some had icy sort of magic on them, freezing the targets solid. However, even Link gets tired, and runs out of arrows, so for now, the hero puts their bow away, sheathes the Master Sword and the Mirror Shield, and simply finds a spot in between the flowers so as not to harm them, resting, hoping to enjoy the peace.

... If you're particularly lucky, you may even come across Link playing their Ocarina later, still on the same floor. ]

[He couldn't help a small chuckle.] Some people come to believe it is a silly practice, of times long gone by. But though they may not hear the music we do, I believe people come to listen without even realizing it. So long as there are spirits in the land, there will always be something to hear.

I spent much of my time listening to the Wind and Sea after I left the Forest. [And a bit of a nod.] The Great Sea is just as magical as the land of old.

I never got to lay my eyes on it in full, but from what I gleamed, it was magnificent. [Sadly the most he had was his little view from the Wind Temple ruins.]

Worry not, I take no offense. [Besides how much the Princess had been stressing, it was definitely not a good time.] Being able to speak with you now is a pleasure all the same. I hope you have been as well as you can since then, despite the outcome.

Hm-- I would expect no less from the holder of Courage. There is no waste in protecting a life, but do not so easily forsake your own. Remember that yours is just as valuable as those you seek to protect.

[aka courage =/= hardheadedness.]

[He'd been around for far too long and met with far too many people to simply let this go. To him, the falter in her composure was obvious.]

Has something I have said troubled you?

[Worry not for all they might have been embarrassed, Fado didn't acknowledge it, and just kept smiling as per usual.]

Why not? Do you not feel it is an accurate descriptor of your journey and your duties?

[He quirks his head in curiosity, though his smile never wavers.]

You needn't be so reserved or bashful around me, young Hero. I am merely a servant to you and the gods.
