Four Thoughts

obligatory his eyes change color hc

Four talks to himself in minish, so no one can snoop. (except for, well, the minish, but he doesn't care cause they're nice)

the way the colors originally split: Red is positive emotions, Blue is negative emotions, Vio is logical hard facts intelligence, Green is nuanced people intelligence.

but that's not their entire personalities. blue is also determination :)

Yo what if their sword could kinda shapeshift for each of the colors? 

Red: Shinobu’s sword from demon slayer

Blue: Antarcticite’s sword from lotl

Vio: pure nail from hollow knight

Green: Alhaithem’s sword from genshin impact

and ofc, they also all use the base version of the sword and their other preferred weapons.

oh! oh! what if two colors piloting means dual blades?? like Lady Maria from bloodborne! or Zuko from atla!

Blue: You think you're smarter than everyone else.

Vio: I don't think I'm smarter than everyone else. I know I am.

Vio: I swear to the goddess, I'm the only one here with a braincell.

Shadow, Blue, Green, and Red: ALL HAIL the keeper of the sacred braincell!

Also, thanks to @arsonisticscholar with THIS POST for inspiring this fic. It was really fun to write!

I wanted to try out some different headcanons and ideas for Four's pov, so here: (Also Four is a they/them) Red Green Blue Vio Shadow Four Another thing, Four is not a DID system. Four is their own person (Hylian?) and the colors (Plus shadow) ARE Four. Four is not the colors. Their eyes change depending on which trait is being shown. Like they shine more red when They're being compassionate and more violet when they are strategizing. Also, Shadow is in Four's shadow, and has no physical form. But he is there for the ride!

It started out innocently enough.

But then, Vio ruined everything. Because of course that sneaky dramatic bastard did.

Four had been traveling with the past heroes for, well a while now. (Ha that rhymed. Shut up Green.) And Four had not revealed his ability to split. But, since they had grown and considered the heroes brothers, they wanted to tell them. So, they sat off to the side of the campfire one day, thinking about how they wanted to tell the other heroes.

We could just split in front of them! With no reason? It would make more sense to do it in a battle. Yeah, plus you need more flare. How about we just bring it up in one of their 'comparing adventures' talk? Doubt they would even hear us over Warrior's loud mouth. Hey don't be so mean Blue!

Four hummed quietly, jolting when they felt a hand on their shoulder. Looking up, they met Wild's scarred face. He held out a bowl of soup, and Four took it carefully. Doing their best to not spill it. As they ate their soup, which tasted like potatoes and vegetables, they tuned back in to the colors and Shadow. The lack of Vio was disturbing, as he had not said a word yet.

What if we told all the links separately, make them think only they know. Vio finally chimed in. Yes! Now that's the kind of flare and drama we want.

Uh, that's kind of mean.. Yeah, I agree with Red. They're our brothers! You son of a bitch. I'm in.

So it's three against two, Four?

I mean, that is kind of mean.. but also would be really funny.

Four against two. Nice pun. No one cares Green. I care! Who we telling first? Why not do Wind first? I always feel like Wind is left out of all secrets.

Four smiled, looking at Wind as he waved his hands energetically as he talked with Hyrule.

The day was sunny and warm. Wind strolled next to Four in the back of the line. They had been in an unknown time, somewhere between Twilight and Time, and as they strolled through Hyrule Field, Four cleared his throat.

"Hey Wind?" Wind turned to look at Four, who was glancing around like he was scared of someone eavesdropping. Wind glanced at the other heroes, the closest being Warriors and Legend, both loudly arguing over something again.

"Yeah? What's up Four?"

"I, I have a secret that I haven't told anyone." Four started and Wind perked up curiously. Normally, Wind isn't the first person to trust with secrets, as he had been apparently the last to know about Wolfie. He was curious and kind of excited that Four was trusting him.

"You can count on me to keep your secret!" Wind whispered quietly. "I promise no one else will ever know or hear it from my mouth!"

Four smiled, his multicolored eyes flashing more purple (Four always claimed that it was violet, like one of the colors on his tunic.) then the normal swirl.

"I am four raccoons in a trench coat. I guess five raccoons? But really the fifth doesn't count."

(Shadow blew in an offended gasp and huffed quietly.)

Wind blinked momentarily, his brain trying to process what Four just said.

"Wait, you mean you're not even Hylian?!" Wind whispered.

Four just smirked. "I guess that's up to your interpretation."

Then Four walked in silence, leaving Wind to brew over the words. He never clarified what he meant.

Next on the list was Time. But Four also wanted to get another hero. So They devised a plan to tell Time during one of the watches, while another hero was awake.

They waited a while, keeping a careful eye out on Time's watch for any awake heroes. They finally got the moment. It was in Wild's time, Time was sitting staring at the fire, and Warriors was moving just a little to much to be asleep. In fact, Four noticed his eyes fluttering open and closed.

***

Time was staring at the fire, his ears perked for strange noises. He heard Warriors shuffling a bit, and Sky snored quietly next to Hyrule. Suddenly, he heard groaning and shuffling of someone getting up. Turning around, he saw Four blearily walk towards him and taking a seat next to him. Facing the fire. Its light cast a soft glow on the surrounding heroes, bathing Warriors and Wild in an orange light, as they were the closest to the fire.

"Hello there little one." Time murmured as Four sat next to him.

"Hey Time? I need to tell you something." Four begain in a slightly husky voice. Time quietly turned to face Four curiously and waited for him to continue.

"I haven't told anyone yet... but I can split." Four explained quietly. Time tilted his head waiting for Four to explain.

"I can like, split myself and become four different versions of, well, myself. All my adventures had something to do with the spliting. Due to one of my adventures, I was split for so long that I sometimes gets headaches if I don't split for a while." Four explained, holding out his hands to the fire.

"Have you split recently?" Time asked, seeing Four nod.

"Yeah. I have."

They both sat in silence for a bit. Then Time asked a question that was burning inside of him.

"Does anyone else know?" Time asked.

Four shook his head. "No, not yet."

Time nodded. "Take your time in telling them."

They sat in silence again, listening to the crackling of the fire. Four got up and excused himself, walking back to his sleeping bag. Time stopped him before he went.

"Hey Four? Thank you for being brave and telling me." Time smiled gently.

Four smiled back, tucking himself in. Three down, six to go.

***

Warriors was very sure that he wasn't meant to hear that conversation, but as Time gently woke him up for the next shift, he sat quietly by the fire. His eyes flicking towards the smallest hero's form sleeping quietly.

He wondered if he should tell Four he over heard or not. He descided that Four would tell him later anyways, and he should respect his space, but he also didn't want to lie to his fellow hero.

He sighed quietly, looking up to the star filled sky.

What should I do?

Warriors did in fact tell Four the truth the next day, and was met with a lot less hostility then he was expecting. Just a smiled and a 'Thank you for telling me'.

It was after telling Time and Warriors that another joined the train of supporting the idea.

This is actually pretty fun! See, I knew you would see sense you fellow chaos incarnate. I mean, it is kind of fun, but I still feel a little bad about lying to them. You'll understand soon Green. That's ominous.

***

Hyrule yawned blinking at the shining sun. He covered his eyes at the bright light, taking a moment to gather where he was.

He saw the familiar walls of Malon's and Time's house spread before him. Noticing that Wind had probably already woken up and Four was quietly reading a book in the corner. Four glanced up at him as he stretched, sitting up in the comfortable bed. He could feel his magic replenished after the battle last night, ready and hovering at his fingertips ready to be used.

"Hey, good morning Hyrule. Did you sleep well?" Four asked, his eyes gleaming red and green in the sunlight.

Hyrule nodded. "Yeah. I am back to my full strength again." Hyrule smiled, cracking his neck quietly.

Four smiled, starting to stand up and leave, but he stopped in the doorway. Turning, Four stared at Hyrule with an intense expression.

"Hey Hyrule? Can I tell you something?" Hyrule tilted his head much like what Wolfie does.

"Yeah of course!"

"Well, hmmm. How do I phrase this... Take my name, but litterally." Four explained.

Hyrule blinked not knowing how to take that information. "Uh wh-" Hyrule trailed off noticing Four was already gone. He sat in the bed staring at the doorway blankly for a few minutes, processing what just happened. He came down a bit later, giving Four a confused glance as he sat down. Soon though, his attention was on all the delicious food Wild and Malon had made.

Four found Wild as he sat on top of the roof. A crisp cool air ruffled his long hair as he watched the sky. Below Wild could see the village laid out, seeing Legend and Twilight and some of the other heroes rushing to and fro in Hateno Village.

Four sat next to Wild, the smaller not making much noise as they surveyed the land.

"Hey Wild? Can I tell you something?" Four asked suddenly, and Wild blinked, jerking his head towards the smaller hero.

"Huh? Oh. Yeah! Of course what's up?"

Four scratched his neck, his eyes gleaming a mix of red and violet. (Wild swears that's violet. Violet is so much more bluer then purple!) "Okay, so imagine yourself, but there are more of you." Four simply said, gestering to himself. Wild stared at him blankly. "That's my life."

They sat in silence as the rest of the heroes marched back from a successful shopping trip. Trying to understand what Four had said kept Wild thinking about it and getting distracted. He was so distracted that he almost cut himself. Twilight glanced at him worriedly and he brushed it off as 'just being happy to be back!'.

Wild couldn't wrap his head around it.

If there were more of me, that would be everyone's worse nightmare.

Legend always thought Four was a little odd. His dislike of magic swords, his height, his hatred of a special pepper (Legend would even call it a fear), muttering to himself and so on. He always considered himself to be very observant, knowing when to push and when to pull, but he didn't know what to do about Four. The oddest part though was that Four was... somehow familiar to Legend which frankly scared him.

It wasn't until Four had slide up to him did he pay any mind to his thoughts. He noticed Four looking nervous, but he could also see something else well hidden in his eyes. Mischief.

"Oh no, what have you, Wind, Hyrule or Wild done now." Legend said, crossing his arms amused. Four grinned.

"Well, I haven't done anything yet. But I wanted to tell you something." Four said. Legend stared at the colorful hero.

"So, basically I can be in multiple places at once." Four said, and Legend stared at Four not knowing how to process that.

(I mean, you're not technically wrong..)

Four grinned at Legend's expression, hopping off and leaving a flabbergasted Legend staring after him. Then Legend's eyes flickered over to see Wild just as Twilight called out.

"WAIT WILD NO-"

Twilight hummed as he strolled through the street, Four stood close nearby as they hurried. There weren't many hylians out, so they were easily able to navigate through.

"All we need is some apples.." Twilight said thoughtfully, his eyes scanning for the red fruit.

Four gasped. "I see some over there" He pointed to a green stand with the red fruit. Twilight and Four hurried over, buying the apples and leaving some rupees for the owner.

"We have everything Wild asked for, lets go back to the inn." Twilight smiled, putting the apples in a bag. As the two made their way over to the inn, Four nudged Twilight. Twilight looked down at Four who pointed towards the nearby forest.

"Four? Something wrong?" Twilight asked. Four thought a moment.

"Well, first I want to show you something and second, I need to do something first." Four said, dragging Twilight over.

The two moved into the forest, finding a clearing surrounded by a thick wall of trees.

"Here." Four said, and Twilight glanced around noting that it was just leaves, rocks and trees.

"What?-" Twilight started, looking back at Four to see him draw his blade and point it towards the sky. A sudden flash of light erupted and Twilight stood there blinking dazedly as Four glowed several different colors and noticed how they split off. When the light cleared, Twilight blinked staring at now four separate Fours. Each looked exactly the same with the only difference being their main theme of color. Twilight noticed how all the Fours wore seperate clothes, the blue one wearing all blue, the green one wearing all green, and so on. There were a green one, a blue one, a purple one, and a red one. All their headbands were different colors also, each one corresponding to their color scheme. Twilight also noticed that none of the four Fours were wearing the colorful tunic, as they all had one color from the orginal tunic.

"Uhm-" Twilight started before he was interrupted by the blue Four.

"Wow Vio, very creative idea. Totally unoriginal. I'm sure that none of us ever possibly thought of this." The blue Four complained.

"I didn't see you coming up with any ideas!" Vio, or the purple Four resorted.

"Hey, now we don't need to fight right? I mean I'm sure Twilight is very confused." The red Four stated, waving his hands and getting between the blue Four and Vio.

The final one, one wearing a green tunic, walked up to Twilight. "Hi, sorry about them. They are... my siblings? Me? I'll just call them siblings. Hi, I'm Green, I know a very creative name, you can thank Red. The two arguing over there is Blue and Vio, and the one who is trying to stop them is Red." Green waved. "Okay now how to explain? Well we are Four. Its as simple as that. If you want more details, you can probably ask Vio, but unless you have all day to listen, I wouldn't recommend."

"Now the colors make sense I guess." Twilight chuckled.

Red grinned at him, Blue huffed and crossed his arms, Green laughed and Vio shot Twilight an unreadble expression.

"No one else knows about this." Vio started. Red chimed in. "Yeah we need you to keep a secret!"

Blue and Green looked slightly uncomforable, but nodded. Green a half second later then Blue. Twilight smiled.

"You can count on me!"

Four grinned. Eight down, one more to go! Okay, I agree this is fun. See I knew you would see sense soon! We're running out of things to say... Why don't we just tell Sky the truth. But we have been? No no no. Not like that... Oh that's evil. What can I say, I've been practicing. And you've had one of the best tutors! Four rolled his eyes playfully.

He tried to approach Sky several times, but never was able to get close enough yet. He was finally able to get his chance when the chain had landed on Tetra's ship. Wind had eagerly introduced the heroes to Tetra before, so Tetra didn't even bat an eye at the sudden arrivals. Instantly, she let them settle down (with the exception of Wind who she instantly put to work and he energetically followed) in the hull of the ship. The other heroes were up on the deck, with the only ones being Legend and Sky. The former hiding somewhere in the back end of the hull and the former being in the front of the hull.

Four moved towards Sky, stopping to stand right next to him.

Sky looked up at Four, smiling weakly. Four waved and stood next to Sky, leaning over to take a closer look at what Sky was doing. Sky had been carving a small wooden statue. Upon a closer look, Four noticed that it looked eerily like Tetra.

"Hey Four." Sky smiled tiredly.

Four smiled. "Hey, I wanted to tell you something."

"Do I tell the others? No? My lips are shut!" Sky sat straight miming zipping his lips.

"I've been telling the heroes my secret but also telling them that they are the only one who knows. Do what you what you will with this information." Four said, grinning as they saw Sky stiffen, and simply turned away and walked off.

Sky stared after the small colorful hero, blinking wildly thinking over what Four just said.

Wait I'm sorry. What? What secret?! Sky shook his head, confusion sweeping over him.

Well, I guess that makes sense why all the heroes have been doing their best to help Four, or at least Time, Warriors, Legend and Twilight...

**

Four practically cackled out of sight at the entire antics. He could hear the colors also laughing and snorting at the full on confusion that was going on.

You know we're going to get busted soon right? Yeah, but it was fun and so worth it. It was fun! Now, should we make a bet to see how long it takes for them to find out? We literally share a wallet. Yeah but its still funny. I would say maybe two weeks? Nah gotta be shorter then that. What about until our next switch! That's not very specific.

In the end, both Red and Four were right, as it was at the next switch, two weeks later, that they were busted.

But they all had their fun.

Green: Don’t you think we’re missing something here..?

Red: Teamwork? Cohesion? A general sense of what we’re doing?

Vio: We left the bomb behind…

Red: Oh yeah, that too…

Blue: Who. The. Fuck. Dropped. The bomb?!

A Chain of Monsters

My Fic MasterList

Hello! this Linked universe au is by @nebulapaws and its amazing and awesome so I wanted to write about it, but I have no plot ideas so just have a bunch of the links from this au chillin.

If you don't know what this au is, all the links are monsters from myths/legends. nebulapaws knows much more about each monster, but heres the context:

Green is a Harpy, Blue is a selkie, Red is a satyr/fire Fae, Violet is a changeling/were (werewolf?), Shadow is a demon (of the shapeshifting vein), all together Four is a chimera (bird, deer, seal, wolf and Fae.), Twilight is a werewolf, Wars is a kelpie, Wind is a sylph, Sky is a biblically accurate angel, Time is a fallen angel (in this context, I'm assuming when angels fall they lose all the eyes and.... biblical stuff and just a pair of wings is visible. In Time's case, his wings are clipped.), Hyrule is a cervitaur, Legend a pookah, and Wild is a dyriad (or coulde be a naga. In this one tho, I plan on making Wild a dryad, but maybe in the future there could be some with naga Wild.) I have no clue where this could be going, but who knows! So yeah, thats all the info in this fic you really need to know!

Green groaned as his tail scrapped across the dirt. His normally green feathers soaked in mud. Thats going to take so long to get out... he tucked his wings close and ducked under a particuallry low hanging arch as he stumbled through the forest.

"This is not the best portal jump we've had..." Red mumbled, shaking next to him in the crisp air.

"Yeah, worse enough its a full moon. Vio and Twilight are in their were forms. And Vio doesn't have us to help contain him. I also expect him to not want to form Four..." Green trailed off.

"So basically the only way we can catch and stop the rest of the chain from finding out about us is if we catch and somehow contain Vio? But for how long? We can't form Four without Vio and the rest of the group will want to come search for us!"

Green sighed. "I don't know Red. I don't know.."

Time's back ached. He reached his hand to his back, before stopping himself. Lowering his hand again, he sighed as he watched Wild wildly (aha, a pun) wave his hands around and Wind watch in awe.

"Hey, you okay there?" Sky asked, his wings twitching on his back as he blinked at Time. He stiffened, not hearing Sky at all as he came over.

Time nodded. "Yes. I am fine."

Sky frowned. "I can tell your hurting. Can I see the injury. If I bring Hyrule will it help?"

Time shook his head. "I'm afraid that this injury is years old. Nothing we can do now."

"Oh, but still. Maybe we can do something so you're not in pain?" He asked, his wings fluttered behind him as he gently patted his friend's shoulder.

"You can try." Time said, Sky nodded and hopped off, coming back with Hyrule. His hooves nerviously pawing the ground as his pointed deer ears flickered. He tilted his head.

"Where is the injury?" He asked, his fingers fidgeting with his horns on his head.

Time turned around, and gestured towads the back

"Can you remove your armor and shirt real quick?" Hyrule asked and Time nodded, slowly taking off his armor and discarding it in front of him.

Hyrule gasped as Time partly lifted his shirt off. Displaying scars that ran across his entire body. His cold hands gently touched the scars.

"Where did you get this from...?"

"A secret I would rather not tell."

Sky gasped, quietly under his breath. He stared at the scars in shock.

"Seriously Blue? You live in a fish tank??" Shadow laughed, cackled even, as Blue glared at him in return.

"Listen, I like the tank. Its a nice tank." Blue crossed his arms and huffed.

Vio watched them quietly, his horns shifting away as he closed his book to stop his siblings from arguing.

"Hey Legend!" Wild called out, picking up the pookah and grinning. "You wanna commit some crimes?"

"No thank you! I've committed enough in my time." He crossed his hands.

"I want to!" Wind exclaimed, his form flickering slightly in the breeze,

"Of course you do!" Wild laughed at the sylph's antics.

"You all have fun. Now listen, I'm not responsible for whatever you do." Four said without looking up from Time's shield. "Most of all, I swear if you break another sword Wild, we're going to have words." His wings shifted behind him as his antenna things flicked.

Wild nodded.

"Can you let me down now?!"

Warriors ears flicked as he stood in the swamp. He frowned and stared at his hooves as they sunk into the dirt.

"You're looking a little down there." footsteps squished through the swamp behind him.

Warriors turned to see Twilight. He nodded. "Yeah, it just.. instincts. You know?"

Twilight nodded. "Yeah, happens every full moon here."

They stood in silence as crickets started to chirp.

"Whats it like when you turn into a werewolf?"

Twilight sighed. "Like being trapped in a prison within yourself."

Warriors stayed silent, watching the setting cast beams across the sky. Like an endless dance.

"Sometimes, I wish I didn't have these instincts."

I have been called. Well.. (also no ships included!!)
