" What is a... Halloween? "

『𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨'𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰』 @shadowoftimes.bsky.social · 12d

Does it have a shadowy Epona? It should have one. If not, it deserves to have its own Epona.

Wearing a big stupid bow on its head. It feels very pretty in it.

" I have another stone... "

Taking out another opal, pondering over it. Giggling before tossing at him.

" Yes please! Don't burn it like I did. "

Link Kasuto @azothsoul.bsky.social · 16d

"I can make some for you, if you like? it won't be a problem."

Taking the Opal he hums, that explains why it was cool like water.

"Wow. These are said to have the essence of water." He comments, watching the colors shift in the light.

『𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨'𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰』 @shadowoftimes.bsky.social · 16d

" Yes I was! I wanted to know what it tasted like. "

Holding out the stone. It seems to be an opal.

And... Burned?? Madness.

"It's a very pretty stone.
Were you trying to make tea or something?"

" It overboiled. This rock? I found it near my tree house. It's kind of cold like water. "

Link Kasuto @azothsoul.bsky.social · 16d

"it didn't boil? But... You don't look hurt, and that's the important thing. What were you trying to do with the water? Also what is that rock you have?"

Small curious head tilt.

『𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨'𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰』 @shadowoftimes.bsky.social · 16d

" It got too warm. "

Sniffling. At least it didn't get burned.

Blink blink. Link is both confused and impressed.

"You... What? How?"

『𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨'𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰』 @shadowoftimes.bsky.social · 17d

" I burnt the water. "

How the fuck did it do that?

Link Kasuto @azothsoul.bsky.social · 17d

The words don't register at first, the shadow's red eyes nearly send him scrambling away in panic. After a second, the words do click and his body relaxed as he looked up at Grudge.

"Grudge —" he yawned "— Are you alright?" Link asked, noting the pout.

『𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨'𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰』 @shadowoftimes.bsky.social · 17d

Standing over him with a very shiny rock in hand. A very pouty expression on its face.

" Wakey wakey, sleepyhead. "

『𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨'𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰』 @shadowoftimes.bsky.social · 17d

" I burnt the water while trying to make myself something. "

...how?

Link Kasuto @azothsoul.bsky.social · 18d

Hasn't moved, is still dead asleep. Link never sleeps past noon anymore

『𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨'𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰』 @shadowoftimes.bsky.social · 19d

" Grudge wants chocolate. "

『𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨'𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰』 @shadowoftimes.bsky.social · 19d

It found a shiny rock with many tiny shiny rocks in it. Feels cold to the touch.

『𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨'𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰』 @shadowoftimes.bsky.social · 19d

" Don't call him an idiot, idiot. "

It stared back before being distracted by a strand of whitish-purple hair in its face. A small huff.

" Who knows if Grudge is still spiritually attached to the Hero. It is its own being now. "

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐃𝐄. @somnxs.bsky.social · 19d

” yes . you . ”

he found himself peering at the other ; peering at it's face .

” another one of /us/ means another idiot hero is around , no ? ”

『𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨'𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰』 @shadowoftimes.bsky.social · 19d

Stopping its wave before pointing at itself. White gloves covering the otherwise dangerous claws it bore.

he wasn't going to wave all day .
silent footsteps making his way towards the shadow ; curious of the face it bore .

『𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨'𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰』 @shadowoftimes.bsky.social · 19d

Giving another yet smaller wave. Always so curious, this one is.

gives a half wave . (was this normal?)

『𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨'𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰』 @shadowoftimes.bsky.social · 19d

Another it? Waving at the other Dark Link!

Pleeeeeeh it's that Wizzrobe looking fella. It wants to poke that stupid eye with a claw.

『𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨'𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰』 @shadowoftimes.bsky.social · 21d

It really does not like the mention of Cia.

Pleh.

" I hate how unfair some adventures are for the heroes. "

Making a raspberry sound. Wow so mature.

" Picky sword. "

Link Kasuto @azothsoul.bsky.social · 24d

He hasn't had a good genuine laugh in a while. Link appreciates that SOMEONE understands the absurdity.

"Maybe? Then other Heroes use it under water just fine." Huff.

Is that a grumpy little pout? Yes, yes it is. Link's still incredibly amused despite it though.

『𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨'𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰』 @shadowoftimes.bsky.social · 24d

" Like what is stopping you from drawing the sword underwater? The water pressure making it difficult? "

It is still ranting about the underwater combat. Just be lucky YOU didn't get put underwater, Grudge.

" Or maybe the blade didn't want to get rusty. "

『𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨'𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰』 @shadowoftimes.bsky.social · 24d

" ...clown. "

Going :3

Link Kasuto @azothsoul.bsky.social · 24d

The absolute truth in the Shadow's words makes Link laugh. It really is ridiculous, he has questioned it many times; it's some Goddess law he'd bet.

"You're right, it makes no sense at all. I've tried to understand it, but—" he scoffs lightly in amusement, "—it hasn't happened yet."

『𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨'𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰』 @shadowoftimes.bsky.social · 24d

" A green rupee is better than no rupee. "

A small snicker.

" It is useful for traveling long distances but for underwater fighting? No. Why is it the only thing allowed for underwater fighting? That's stupid! "

Spit your facts, Grudge.

"A green Rupee," Link comments dryly with a soft scoff.

"I'd like to think it was something, the longshot was useful." He hummed, tilting his head.

"That'd make sense for you not to remember since I wasn't a 'hero' before then." No Triforce piece, no hero.

What a load of bull.

『𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨'𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰』 @shadowoftimes.bsky.social · 28d

" At least I think it was important? I don't know my life before the 7 year gap between time. "

A small shrug.

" Maybe it was a very cool magic item! Or maybe- "

Link Kasuto @azothsoul.bsky.social · 28d

That piques his curiosity a good deal.

"I'm glad to think you were guarding something more important."

Link will now be wondering about what the original item could have been.

『𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨'𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰』 @shadowoftimes.bsky.social · 28d

" Unfortunately no. I was not allowed to see inside the chest. All I know is that the Longshot was not... there originally. "

It has been in the same empty water field illusion room for centuries. It doesn't remember what it guarded originally.

Link Kasuto @azothsoul.bsky.social · 28d

"That is true, did you know what was in it before?"

The Longshot had been useful, but it felt like a low tier item compared to what the shadow could've guarded.

『𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨'𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰』 @shadowoftimes.bsky.social · 28d

" Besides, I did... guard the chest. It is mine in a sense. "

Unclipping the straps.

"That's understandable, it'd be a waste otherwise." He replies with a small smile.

" I like repurposing things. I didn't want it to collect dust. "

It misses the Temple but also not really. Too eerie and empty.
