Meet my Hero of Brightwall and Hero of Bowerstone (aka Sparrow)

Hiiiii Fable community of Tumblr I would like to share with you my Hero of Brightwall, and her father Sparrow. I have a huge love for the Legend of zelda as well so there's things from that series that are gonna be in this (like the sheikah Slate, etc) 

Her name is Hylia Steros-Albina, her last name is a hyphenation of her mother's and fathers last names, this was a decision made by her father Sparrow to show some respect to his wife, Bruxa. From an early age it was clear she had a big love for learning, particularly she loved history,alchemy,music,and the art of Artificery. Seeing this her father ensured she had access to tutors who would assist her in her learning. She has a very close relationship with her brother despite the 7 year age gap between them, Logan developed a habit of bringing her back a souvenir everytime he went off on an expedition. These gifts ranged from small rocks and minerals, to small magic trinkets for her to tinker with, and in return for these souvenirs, Hylia would share the word of what she's heard going on in the castle and any new facts she's learned. This bond held strong even after their father's demise until Logan returned from Aurora.Once Logan returned from Aurora he gave Hylia what would soon become her most priced possession, the Sheikah Slate, and as she researched and tried to investigate what it was used for and if it could still be used, Logan, defeated by the fact no one would believe him about what he saw in Aurora, began to throw himself into his work as Albion's king, pushing his sister away so he could try and keep her safe. During this time he allowed Sir Walter to begin training her, with the goal of having her become the captain of the Albion army when the Crawler finally arrived, so he wouldn't have to fear his little sisters wellbeing once again. 

Now let's hop on over to Sparrow, his real name is Jerrod Stoneblade, a name he would later forsake to adopt the name Sparrow, so he could leave the past behind him and proceed on his mission. He and his sister Rose were very close with each other, when she was killed Sparrow spent weeks mourning his big sister, his one true shield against the harshness of the real world. As Terrisa trained him, he seemed to favor his trusty axe but was still quite proficient with his Clockwork pistol and his willpower, learning more from the heros that accompanied him during their quest to stop Lucien.  It's during this quest that Sparrow encounters the pirate captain, Reaver, who turns out to be the hero of skill, and upon first meetings, he finds the man rather repulsive, but good company to keep if you want a good story. Once Sparrow returns from the Temple of Shadows having allowed someone else to make the sacrifice of their youth in order to satisfy the Shadow Judges of the Shadow Court, Reaver realizes that he clearly underestimated Sparrow and reluctantly agrees to join him in his quest. A few years after the demise of Lucien, the Hero of Bowerstone and Hero of Skill reunite by chance during an encounter in Bloodstone where Sparrow had bought the pirate’s manor and was cleaning up and looking after the place. The two of them began to form a simple friendship but eventually and completely unintentionally fall in love. This romance would last them the rest of Sparrow's life. After a few years spent with Reaver, Sparrow returned to Bowerstone and with the money he'd gotten from his wish at the Spire, he bought Castle Fairfax and began renovating it, leaving the tower where his sister was killed alone. Eventually Bowerstone erupted into chaos and Sparrow pulled himself away from the castle work to put it out. Little did he know he began a battle that would end with him becoming Albion's king.  After 3 years on the throne, advisors were pressuring the new king to marry, and he reluctantly gave in and was arranged to marry Bruxa Steros, a noble from a very prominent family. During this marriage Sparrow made it clear to his queen that he did not love her, that his heart was taken by another, but was forced to marry her, which in hindsight he probably should've seen her retaliation coming. The new queen retaliated by spending more money and hurling abuses towards her husband. Eventually after more pressure from the advisors, the queen fell pregnant with Sparrow's first child, a boy they'd call Logan, and from that day on, something changed in Sparrow, he became more stubborn and fussed over his son, meanwhile Bruxa couldn't seem to care for the new prince preferring to gossip with her friends rather than attend to her son.  As Logan grew, Sparrow made sure to be there for all of his firsts, and tries to be the father that he himself never had. Once Logan was taught how to read, Sparrow could count on finding his son in the library, usually reading about dragons and fairytales.  Eventually, Sparrow realised that Logan would end up lonely if he was an only child so presenting the idea of the heir and the spare, throwing up in his mouth a little as he presented it, to Bruxa who decided to use this new child to her advantage.6 years after Logan was born, Sparrow happily presented to the people of Albion his daughter Hylia, whom he doted on just as much as he did Logan.As the two children got older, Sparrow began to remember the vision Therisa showed him of his child being the one to determine the future of Albion and Aurora, and began making precautions such as building the reliquary underneath the newly formed Brightwall Academy, and building a mausoleum where he'd eventually be put to rest and leave his guild seal, and finally building and stocking up a sanctuary where one of his children or even both of them could have a base seeing as the old heroes guild ruins were no longer accessible. Sparrow would live until the age 54 where he supposedly passed away peacefully but only a few knew the truth. 

If you wanna find out more about them then you should check out Fates Hand, my Fable 3 fanfic on Ao3.  It has hints of past Sprever and Hero of Brightwall x Ben Finn. Here's the link to it!

I'm super slow to update but I make longer chapters bc of it, let me know what yall think of this and my fic (if you read it ofc) thank you and have yourself a good day/afternoon/ night!!!!!

After his trip to aurora, Logan had an extreme fear of the dark, to the point he needed to sleep by candlelight.

And when little Robin (my Hobw) would fall asleep, he would light a single candle next to her bed, afraid that the darkness would get her too.

Years later, after her trip to aurora, Robin has the same fear and sleeps by candlelight just like her brother did, and finally understands why she always woke up to a burnt out candle next to her bed as a child

Dose any one have some good fable head canons or hot takes I will post mine later 😳

Most if not all of mine are fable 2 related

Hey hey hey. Look at my girl!

Suddenly got the urge to draw another sketch of my Hobw Robin. Took longer than needed

Sketch of my Hero of Brightwall

Her name is Robin Rose Bowerstone and was 19 at the beginning of Fable 3, 7 years younger than Logan who was 26.

My first time ever drawing her, I’ll probably do a more detailed drawing of her in the future

Ok can we talk about the fact that if you do an evil run playing fable 3, the only people who come to Walter’s funeral are Logan, Jasper and Ben.

I don’t know why but I find it so sweet that Ben will stick by The Hero of Brightwall even if their evil. I love that man

Hero of Brightwall: here’s another one. What does ‘take out’ mean?

Eliot/Elise: Food

Ben Finn: Dating

Page: Murder

Reaver: All three if you’re not a coward

Ok so I was searching the internet for fable stuff as one does, and for some reason I decided to search what the meaning behind a heart under the eye was because I was confused why Reaver has one and I found this.

excuse me

GRIEF?!?!!

Now this could mean he’s grieving oakvale and the ‘her’ he refers to in his diary entries. However, if this is the case, why doesn’t he have one in fable 2? considering that it’s been like 200 years since the fall of oakvale.

Now who was alive in fable 2 but isn’t in Fable 3 and who was also very closely associated with Reaver?

SPARROW!

spreaver fans go wild, cuz I’ve been going absolutely feral over this little theory thing of mine.

(P.S, I have seen some stuff saying it’s a symbol for the shadow court but I don’t know how credible that is and I’m only talking about the grief bit)

Reaver: what would you like for Christmas huh?

Hero of Brightwall: …

Hero of Brightwall: Did you fuck my mom..?

Reaver: What?

Hero of Brightwall: Did you fuck. My. Mom..?

Reaver: it’s a white flag. And you may as well start waving it because-

Page: THE ONLY THING I WILL BE WAVING IS YOUR DECAPITATED HEAD ON A STICK IN FRONT OF YOUR WEEPING MOTHER

Reaver:

Hero of Brightwall:

Ben Finn: Good Lord…
