Come Ride With Me~Through the Veins of History

[power_entity]

[It’s not unusual to find bones in Hyrule field at night. The stalchildren rise as always, their rattling bodies ready to lumber after anything in their path, ready to be outrun or cut down and scattered in the grass. It matters little, come sunrise and all signs of them will vanish into the morning. Come sunset and the entire cycle will begin

[Din, who sleeps in the stable at Lon Lon Ranch, is not yet asleep. Cautiously, she moves to the door and peers out at the field. As long as she stays indoors, the stalchildren don't bother her, but she can feel the familiar presence of the one who shares her name. Yep, sure enough, there she is...couched on a pile of bones. Only Mother Din. Softly, knowing she'll be heard, she calls from the doorway.]

You're up late, High Lady.

[The oracle again, her scent was the only of its kind. It blended into the earth and air, but instead of vanishing it merely made everything around it stand out.]

Only in mortal time.

[Her answer is the only indication that she heard, gaze still on the endless expanse. Absently, she tosses the femur in the air like a baton and catches it before sending it flying off into the dark. From a faint shriek, it hit its target.]

Do you sleep, Oracle?

[dancingseasons]

[Din winces slightly at the shriek, deciding she doesn't want to know who was struck, and makes her way to sit on the grass near the reclining deity.]

Normally, I sleep quite well. Tonight I just don't seem to manage it so easily.

[She glances upward at the stars dotting the nightscape.]

It's certainly a beautiful evening.

[If we're going by Din's blank expression as she reaches behind herself for a new baton, it wasn't anything important.]

[She hums a brief acknowledgment to the oracle's answer, although she expected as much. The girl is still mortal, after all. She raises an eyebrow at the sky at the word 'beautiful', but shrugs it off with a soft rattle from her pillow.]

The stars are chatty tonight.
