Past lives couldn't ever hold me down Lost love is sweeter when it's finally found I've got the strangest feeling This isn't our first time around.

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.
Something something...Link actually being good at drawing in other to keep a record of the monsters, animals and weapons he sees/uses during his adventures.
Also talking about Link's origins made me think about how, in my opinion, he felt he never truly belonged anywhere? He doesn't belong in kokiri Forest because the bully he receives is a constant reminder he is not like the rest, Hyrule is a land completely unknown to him and what little he gets to discover changes in the seven years he is gone, and then, once he finds his place as the hero and helper to rebuilding the kingdom he is sent back to a time where he is "nothing" again and is left completely alone since the connections he created are gone ( except for Zelda, the only other person who remembers everything ) and even navi leaves him.
I understand the "I will die for you" ship dynamic, but what about the "I will not let you die, I will not let myself die- we will, at any cost, survive" kind of couple?

❝ i have a dragon’s temper, that’s all. you must not let it frighten you. ❞
TARGARYENS HAD ALWAYS HAD FIRE RUNNING THROUGH THEIR VEINS, AND HIS QUEEN WAS NO DIFFERENT. It had passed down through generations and to extinguish it would be to rid her of the very essence that made her who she was. A leader who inspired love and loyalty in anyone around her. But fire could be as dangerous as it was magnificent if allowed to blaze without control. As her servant, the knight felt it was his responsibility to shield her from that double-edged sword.
❝ If I may speak freely, your grace ❞ Link began, with the respect she was due ❝ it is not your temper that frightens me ❞ After all, without the strength she seemed to draw from it, he was sure it would have been impossible for anyone, let alone someone so young, to accomplish what Daenerys had. She was the girl who saw solutions no one else was capable of — the girl who had walked into the flames with three stones and walked out with three dragons. How could she not believe she was destined for great things ?
❝ but rather it leading you to danger ❞ her growing conviction in her own infallibility had made her ignore her advisors' arguments more than once. It had blurred the fine line between bravery and recklessness and caused her to step into many risky situations because she believed her fate was to sit the Iron Throne and nothing would stop her before that. Yet fate was a fickle thing, as changing as the wind. And it wouldn't be the first time the world had witnessed the fall of a dragon.
I have seen some people talk about their muse's height on the dash and this is a good opportunity as any to remind you guys Link is 5'2
Reading again the Twilight Princess manga has given me the urge to write things in that verse and, since I don't have any at the moment, like this for a starter ( length may vary ) from the Hero of Twilight.
