H1rul3s - THE CHOSEN HERO

Q  :  HOW  DO  YOU  NEED  TO  BE  TOUCHED?

A  :  FERVENTLY.

you  crave  a  hug  that  cracks  your  ribs...  the  feeling  of  your  wandering  soul  being  crushed  back  into  the  bones  that  can't  seem  to  hold  it.  you  need  a  hand  gripping  yours  so  tightly  you  almost  fear  it  may  leave  a  bruise,  a  reminder  that  you  are  here.  and  that  you  are  not  alone.

Tagging:  @cordoliae  ( muse  of  your  choice )  ,  @vulpesse  ,  @kaerinio  ,  @moonsingir ,  @adamanteine  ,  and  anyone  who  wants  to  !

THE  ONLY  RESPONSE  SHE  GETS  FROM  HIM  IS  A  SOFT  SHAKE  OF  HIS  HEAD,  WHICH  CAN  ALSO  BE  SEEN  AS  A  WORDLESS  REFUSAL  TO  ACCEPT  HER  CONCERN.  He  doesn't  see  why  it  should  be  a  problem,  and  proof  of  that  is  how,  without  a  second  thought,  he  leans  forward  to  reach  for  one  of  the  skewers,  carefully  plucking  it  from  its  place  over  the  flames.  Now  that  it's  closer,  he  realizes  how  mouthwatering  it  looks  even  if  it's  far  from  the  finest  delicacy.  He  pauses  for  only  a  heartbeat,  then  turns  toward  her,  extending  the  skewer  before  his  stomach  has  the  chance  to  make  a  sound  ❝  Here,  ❞  he  says,  the  words  soft  but  firm,  not  leaving  room  for  any  argument.

❝  it's  fine,  really  ❞  his  tone  gentler  now,  reassuring.  If  he  had  offered  her  his  food  it  was  because  he  was  willing  to  share  —  SIMPLE  AS  THAT.  There  are  no  expectations  of  getting  anything  in  return,  no  hidden  motives,  just  the  wish  to  show  the  same  generosity  others  had  shown  him  when  he  had  found  himself  in  her  shoes.  Yet,  Link  can  sense  there's  something  more  to  her  concern,  a  hesitation  that  goes  beyond  the  food  itself  ❝  You'll  have  two  and  I'll  take  the  other  two  ❞  he  adds,  his  gaze  steady,  not  once  breaking.  By  dividing  it  equally,  he  hopes  to  ease  her  worries.  To  show  her  there's  no  reason  to  feel  guilty  for  accepting  or  as  though  she  is  taking  too  much.

WITH PERMISSION, : SHE TOO STEPS CLOSER TO THE WARMTH OF THE FLAMES, their flickering light reflecting from the black &. golden armor upon her figure. ( observant had the molten golds been ; yet weapon was not reached for. neither did she summon her own in return. ) ... ❝ thank you, ❞ gratitude voiced by angelic tune, woven with warmth &. accompanied by a nod of her head. so, THE WARRIOR OF LIGHT takes seat upon the ground, this moment of rest welcomed. ethereal warrior she may be, but she too could tire. she simply forges through it. her skin unscathed, armor wields no marks upon it ; but that is only a testament to her skills &. strength, not of a fact that trouble was not encountered. ( for you always seem to find it, do you not, hero? )

ANOTHER LOOK TAKEN AROUND, : THE SPOT HE HAD CHOSEN TO CAMP UPON SECURE. but his voice broke through the short - lived silence, &. it prompted glowing hues to focus upon him ... from there, to the flames. this is where sarastus paused herself, before gaze lifts once more, ❝ have you eaten anything yourself? ❞ comes a query, though spoken with a neutrality, concern is embedded into it.

N.intendo is too family friendly sometimes so I will go deeper into the scars Link has (For example, at the end of totk his arm fully heals but in my portrayal I want to keep the scar from Ganon's attack at the beginning even if Rauru manages to heal it so that he doesn't feel pain).

send me a topic to write a meta about my muse on

I might write anything from a paragraph to a whopping essay, but send me something you’ve noticed about my characterisation or just something you want to know about my muse and I will write what I can!

“Smile! Everyone is waiting for you….“

Sketch Comic for hyruleheart‘s Zelink Week!! Day 2 - Smile

Important note that I don't think I have mentioned yet, while I know that Link is a child (like 10-12 years old) in some games, I won't rp him any younger than 17 as I simply do not feel comfortable with it.

However, what happens when he is young can be plotted between our muses so that it shapes their relationship, his actions with them, etc when he's older.

Forgot to say this yesterday but I also take inspiration from the mangas and include in my portrayal those things that, in my opinion, contribute to making Link or his story more complex.

An example of this is how, instead of just completely ignoring Saria's ocarina when Zelda gives him the ocarina of time in the games, Link actually loses it because he has to fool Ganondorf somehow when he tries to take it from him and the only option is giving him Saria's one (which is what happens in the manga).
