Okay! Carrd is finally up!
Honestly loving Link's new icon
❝ it seems shadow has been moved by light. ❞ ( so there are options! )
IT WAS THE ORDER OF THINGS, HOW THIS CIRCLE THAT NEVER SEEMED TO COME TO AN END WORKED. The demon king had finally been defeated, and the hero was the one who remained standing. As the smoke cleared, he emerged from the haze, with slightly torn clothes and dirt and sweat smearing his face, illuminated by a gleam of blue light. The battlefield, now visible all around him, was a testament to the ferocity of their clash, with charred earth and shattered stones bearing witness to the struggle.
All of his muscles should be resenting from it — begging him from some well deserved rest. Though perhaps the adrenaline coursing through his body was what was keeping him from collapsing right there and then. What was giving him the necessary strength to address the question that had been gnawing at his mind ever since he had learned of the destiny awaiting him ❝ tell me, ❞ the knight began, turning around as he placed the legendary sword back in its sheath when he heard their voice from behind.
❝ is it truly over now ? ❞ Link asked between heavy breaths, his voice a mixture of both hope and doubt. Sapphire eyes remained steady, locking onto those of the sheikah. Their enemy had been sealed but, would it be enough ? And if it was only temporary... how long would peace last before Hyrule had to face such chaos and malice once more ? As he awaited their answer, he could feel his heart pound quickly inside his chest. Yet, regardless of what it might be, he wanted, needed to hear it.
❝ i am just a lost traveler, seeking rest for the night. ❞
THE CAMPFIRE CRACKLED SOFTLY IN THE HEART OF THE NIGHT, ITS GOLDEN LIGHT CASTING DANCING SHADOWS ACROSS THE SURROUNDING TREES. Link sat cross-legged on the cool grass, the flames reflecting in his eyes as Epona stood nearby, her ears flicking occasionally at the distant sounds of the wild. The scent of woodsmoke mingled with the crisp night air, and the world seemed quiet, save for the occasional rustle of leaves. Suddenly, a faint noise ( too deliberate to be the wind ) broke the stillness. Link’s sharp instincts immediately took hold and he rose smoothly to his feet.
That's how the stranger would find him, standing with calm yet watchful eyes studying her for a few seconds before finally breaking the silence ❝ You are free to stay if you want ❞ the words were as straightforward as they were simple, spoken without hesitation or pretense. It was almost surprising...his lack of questions, his absence of suspicion. But perhaps it wasn't so strange; anyone with ill intent would likely have been far less obvious in their approach. And if you looked closely, his sword, though seemingly out of reach, was positioned perfectly for a quick draw, even if he had stepped slightly closer.
It didn't take long for the hero to return to his spot by the campfire, settling back onto the grass with the same unhurried ease as before ❝ though I'm afraid I don't have much to offer ❞ he said, pausing for a moment before adding ❝ just some food, if you are hungry ❞ while gesturing toward the freshly caught fish cooking over the flames. Their edges crisping in the warmth. It was a humble gesture, but genuine, and he hoped it would be enough. The only other thing he had were a few carrots which were meant for Epona and, therefore, NOT SOMETHING HE WOULD SHARE.
Popping in here just to say that I have been writing (slowly because life has been a bit of a mess but I think I will have some things ready during the weekend) and that I'm still alive.

¹· carrd / ²· rules / ³· verses
An exploration in: the hero's journey, identity and legacy, courage and bravery, loyalty, duty and honor, friendship and companionship, nature, light vs. darkness, and myth and legend.
i. This blog was made for all of us to have fun so any type of racism, sexims or anything similar is not going to be tolerated here.
ii. This is a mutual only blog which means I will only interact with you if you are following me and I’m following you.
iii. I’m selective in the sense that I will follow you only if I think it’s not completely impossible for us to interact. So, if you are an oc and or rp a character from another fandom but have an idea of how our muses would be able to meet contact me.
iv. Given the nature of the source material, there may be some triggers present on this blog so follow at your own discretion. I will tag them as "trigger tw" but if I ever forget something or you have more triggers than the ones I tag please let me know.
v. In relation to the previous rule, I will not write with anyone under the age of 18 as I simply do not feel comfortable with it. If you are not of age and/or if I discover you are lying I will block.
vi. While I don’t have a problem with people reblogging memes from me, I would prefer if you did it from the original source like I do so that it doesn’t mess up with my notifications.
vii. Regarding shipping, I see Link as a difficult muse and it's not really a priority for me even if I love it. So, any relationship would have to be born from heavy plotting and chemistry between both muses and muns.
viii. I am open to iconless threads even if I like to use icons as I understand that not everyone uses them. Writing is the most important part after all.
ix. I try to adapt to what each person usually writes so I don’t mind if your starters/replies are longer or shorter than what I write as long as you give me something to work with.
x. If you sent me a meme and you liked my answer to it you are free to answer to it and make it a thread but please do it in a new post that starts for example with "continued from".
xi. New rules may be added as I see them necessary so please, even though I will inform you guys of any changes, keep an eye out in this sense.

Just posting this so you guys know Link has one of the brightest smiles. Shame he mostly has a poker face and it's very difficult to see it.
Honestly I need more interactions here so...like this for a small thing from Link?
