[Eyes squinting against the gleaming sun, the young boy groaned. After a feeble attempt at lifting himself and finding that the effort involved was much too great, Red succumbed to his fatigue, throwing an arm across his face in an effort to block out the blinding rays of light.

Wait…

Something wasn’t right…

Wet… Something was wet. His sleeve? ( Read more... )

[What was it doing here? What was the Dark Mirror doing here? It was broken, gone, long since lost...]

[Shadow realizes he's at the Tower of Winds again. His tunic is splotched with rust-colored blood, and his hair is in disarray. He clutches his stomach with his hand, raggedly breathing through his clenched, pointed teeth.]

[This was wrong.]

( ♩ the broken glass I stepped on, twice )

[In the center of Hyrule Field there is a strange sight that has appeared overnight. Most of the residents of Hyrule wouldn't recognize what it is, but the muns should.

It is a large-screen TV. Every video game system in creation is attached to this TV at once magically. An enormous freestanding shelf holds every video game ever made -- there are ( Read more... )

[Night has fallen over Hyrule, and while many of its inhabitants sleep, there is something-or perhaps someone, still very much awake.]

[A dark, childlike figure kneels on hands and knees by the slow moving Zora's River. His clothes are black, although they are stained with blood. He hangs his head low and resists the urge to shudder in pain. It ( Read more... )

[The unexpected happens in the middle of the night, though it begins so gradually it would be hard to detect. Over the course of days, the well has been emitting darkness into the town. The amount has steadily increased this night, so much so that it can be palpably seen and felt, sitting like an uneasy fog, obscuring the few lights. It is ( Read more... )

[Should one pass by the Kakariko watchtower at night, they would spot someone slumped beneath it, back resting against one of the pillars. Arms wrapped around his body, he breathes heavily--in and out, in and out. Recklessness has led to injuries, and untreated injuries have led to infection.]

[He raises his head slightly, and can’t help but ( Read more... )

[This particular day, there is a very noticeable change in the expansive Hyrule Field. The sky is overcast with a smooth, encompassing sheet of soft gray clouds. A chilly breeze flows on by, and small flurries begin swirling and fluttering down into the cold air, and onto the ground below.]

[But the landscape itself is already a stark white, ( Read more... )

[He'd gotten over the initial surprise and shock and embarrassment already but it didn't mean that Vio was going to go about in nothing but a towel and a number of odd accessories. They looked interesting enough, and he'd probably ask the original owner about it in due time, but for now, he's not amused ( Read more... )

[Today has been a glorious lazy day, but... the sky above him is starting to get dark, so he knows they should probably get back to the castle before the princess starts worrying.]

Mmm... c'mon, Link, time to go. Duty calls.

[He reaches out with an elbow to nudge Link, but there's no one there. There should be someone there. He sits up.All right ( Read more... )

[Darkness.]

"Um..."

[Ashei looks around. Nothing. As stated, it's dark. REAL dark. Some light's coming from above, but it's too dim to properly see by.]

"What the...?!"

[One moment, she's standing around, waiting impatiently for Shad to finish copying down whatever stupid discovery he'd been ranting about, THIS time (she'd stopped caring shortly ( Read more... )
