If It Can Die, I Can Kill It

From my Feral Prompts, for @recalled11 Legend

Also on AO3, about 1200 words. Rated G, some injuries.

Feral 10: “If it can die, I can kill it” = Recalled Legend @ a Gleeok

Link could tell there was something more than just a storm under the cloud. He’d seen the flash, even if the thunder had been muted: it hadn’t been very strong, whatever it was, but it’d come soon after. Too soon. Ravio – seated between Malon and Fairy behind him – was watching him pace but not doing anything, not yet.

He wasn’t trying to worry him; he was fine. It was far away.

It was some-thing and it was moving.

When he turned at the next pace, Wild was there in his way, almost close enough he hit him. He restrained the urge – Wild was a bad choice to pick a fight with – and smiled unpleasantly instead. He waved one hand at the thing on the edge of their view.

“What is that, anyways?”

The other man had to spell it, six letters -- gleeok, then added, “It’s a thunder one, they’re not that hard.”

“It’s in our way.” He could tell that much already. They were on a road and that fucking thing was not that far off; they’d be getting closer to it every step of the way.

Wild nodded, and Link wasn’t fucking doing that.

“If its not that hard, we can kill it.”

Wild simply tilted his head and smiled. He gestured that way once more – almost as if to say, after you – and Link bared his teeth. “Can that flying thing of yours carry two?”

It could, and it did.

The gleeok noticed them in the sky. It took exception, as only a giant beast like it could. It was a massive kind of lizard, with three heads each with a fat, bulging eye under its shimmering gold horns. Wild kept moving even as one of the heads opened its mouth and spat a flash of lightning at them. Link’s heart nearly stopped in his chest, but Wild’s flying thing kept ahead with seeming ease. Link knelt and tucked a leg around Wild’s and over the standing platform to pull his bow from a ring.

There was always a target if something had eyes. Link clung to the machine with his legs and aimed.

His first arrow missed; his second, the dragon had snapped its wings forward and threw off the arrow’s aim; it grazed a different head than intended.

“Fuck it all, turn around!” Link snapped.

Wild tried. The flying machine did not turn quickly or easily, and Link dropped one hand to brace himself on the platform, trying not to knock Wild’s footing free with his awkward positioning himself. The turn meant he was facing the wrong way to aim easily again, and he twisted to aim back the way he came.

He turned, just in time to see it bunch in place and lunge.

“Wild!”

The machine’s engine cut. The fan under him went silent and they dropped from the air like a stone for a frozen second before it snapped back alive. The lizard’s gaping mouths went over their heads; the ground rushed up below and as the flying machine caught the air and slowed their fall again, a spear of lightning slammed into the front.

Green stone burst into nothing under his hands. Wild was thrown backwards, breaking his bow and tumbling into freefall, and Link hit the ground and rolled. His magic could take the teeth out of the fall, but he still came to, dazed and sore, several dozen feet away from the pieces of his bow.

Wild wasn’t in sight. Link’s throat choked, and he looked frantically for the other man. “Wild!”

He saw green, like his tunic, somewhere far – far too far away. How far had he been thrown? It wasn’t moving.

The air was thick with static, and green as soup and the gleeok slowly settled back on the high pillar of stone from which it had watched them before. It’s horns glittered with lightning.

Link licked his lips and checked the dot that was maybe Wild again. Far enough away.

Let’s see how this thing liked losings its footing too.

Quake was easy; the ground cracked and shivered, crumbling under the dragon’s claws. He tried to stand as the spell took, and realized his leg (the leg that had been between Wild’s feet on the flying machine...) was broken. He cursed at it and twisted it back into place before he drank a health potion to stop the screaming pain. As the gleeok staggered and collapsed in full, he stood and stalked to meet it. He didn’t need a bow; healed, he pulled his sword, snapping off three quick cuts.

Three beams, to each eye.

The creature slammed to the ground, stunned, and Link looked again at the still green.

Was that far enough away? Did he trust it?

The gleeok started to stir, and he realized he didn’t have much choice. This fight had to end now. (He was so damn tired of the constant storm, ever crackle in the air put his teeth grinding...)

But he had other spells, two more copper tokens. He wasn’t going to waste his time testing lightning against lightning: Fire rained harder than lightning ever could.

He put out each eye personally after that, before he dared walk away. Certain of its death, the stillness in the spot of green left him filled with terror greater than the dark skies could bring. As he came closer, and more sure it was Wild he ran to other man’s side.

When he arrived, he could see Wild had woken at least. The other man’s eyes rolled in his head, one hand dug into the dirt. The left eye – the damaged one – was shining, flashing brilliant blue light as he made a face before focusing on Legend. He half-smiled then and raised one arm, offering it to him.

Link took his hand, confused and watched him wince. Immediately he checked the forearm – fine – then upper arm – broken.

“You want me to set it?”

Wild nodded.

Easy enough. He could do it, although Wild hissed out something that could’ve been a swear. Seconds later, he grunted, his eye flashed, and he put weight on the arm and sat up. As he pulled himself together to stand, Link watched with morbid fascination. Every time he had to hesitate, that blue eye glowed again and he crouched himself.

“Are you just healing yourself as you go?”

Wild didn’t even look at him to nod.

“Sometimes I really wish I could do that.”

Wild paused, partway through checking his legs and looked at him. It was one of the darkest expressions he’d ever seen from the man – not the wild panic he sometimes showed around certain monsters, or determination. It was more like grief, and Link regretted saying that aloud.

He didn’t say anything else, but Link didn’t think he had to. It was plain as day what it meant.

‘No. You don’t.’

Link stood and looked back towards their camp. As he had expected, once his head cleared, he could already see a dark speck running and walking their way with two others behind. He sighed. Ravio was going to have so many words for him...

“Hey Wild, if its Ravio and Flower coming, who do you think is the third about to chew us out: Twilight or Captain?”

Bonus art:

This man absolutely did not set his own leg ten minutes ago, what are you talking about.

THE CONNECTED RECALLS

VI LEAVING A HEART-SHAPED VALENTINE CARD (?) IN CAITLYN'S LOCKER??? CAITLYN OPENING IT AND FINDING IT??? HELLOOO

[characteroulette]

Okay but the thing. About no one being able to recognise Link. Is that

even if he's had time to live in the world again after BotW, Link is still an outsider to this era.

Link and Zelda are over a hundred years old now. Sure, they didn't really live through that gap, but a gap it remains for them.

it strikes me that the only area in the game where the people recognise Link is in Zora's domain. The Zora people live incredibly long lives and thus remember Link. He grew up here. He has history here. A hundred years doesn't matter when the Zora people whom he grew up around remain.

Zora's domain being such a contrast to the rest of Hyrule is really striking to me. Link is a near mythical creature; he existed over a hundred years ago and yet he's managed to remain and so

of course no one can recognise him. The myth he's become can never match who he truly is. He's as human as he can be; of course no one can recognise him as the legendary swordsman.

Are there any fae-like creatures in french myths?

I know about the story of a giant black wolf that terrorized France back in the day, but that’s all I can remember.

Legends and stories including wolves are in fact really widespread in european culture since middle age ! But yeah the most well known in France is the Beast of Gévaudan which was described as massive ! (and the one from Le petit chaperon rouge/Little red riding hood)

Concerning other creatures and fairies/faes in french legends and stories, we do have

Mélusine : fairies mentioned a bit everywhere in France, they are mostly described as women with a scaly tail lower body and are sometimes associated with mermaids or vouivres. (far from how they look like in genshin impact)

Vouivre : not to be mistaken with wyverns, vouivres are creatures described as snakes with bat wings, sometimes they are depicted having rear legs and wings (and they look very goofy like that imo). These creatures can be aquatic and in some descriptions, possess a big jewel on their forehead.

Tarasque : a creature from provencal legends, which lived in a swamp near Tarascon and terrorized and ate people. It's most popular description was of a big creature with a spiked turtle shell, six bear legs, horse ears, bull chest, lion head, a human face and a twisted tail. Legend says Ste. Marthe tamed the beast. (I swear they were just being attacked by bowser this is the same creature)

These are the one I depicted roughly in the pic above but there are many more creatures depending on the different regions of France ! (There's a lot of fairies and fantasy like creature in stories from bretagne/brittany) Some others that I find either fun or cool are :

Meneurs de loup : which translates to wolf leaders are people told to be able to talk to wolves and even transform into one, either because they are werewolves or they made a pact with the devil. (it's kinda giving spice and wolf vibes and I love that story sm)

Jambe crue/Came-cruse : Roaming in the Pyrénées at night, this thing is a single leg with an eye on the knee that eats people and runs very fast. (Idk why this one is so funny to me but oddly terrifying as well)

I didn’t know today was the anniversary for the first LoZ game until I started seeing posts about on my dash today, so I doodle these headshots of different Links Meet AU Links relatively quickly. From left to right a few thoughts about the Links and the drawing process:

Fairy from Recalled at @recalled11 - Very cute, can’t wait to see him in the comic. I couldn’t figure out how to draw his head tho, I don’t know why

Wood from Little Links from @marenwithanm - Chubby cheeks heh. So pinch-able. Honestly the favorite one I drew.

Hope from Linked Spirit at @linkedspirit-fanartfunart - Original Link combined w: Cartoon Link agigjtbkrg. I liked drawing the hair. Don’t think I did the bangs right, but I like the hair.

Scout from Echoes of Courage at @echoes-of-courage - I love the ponytail and curly hair, he’s so cute. I tend to mimic the style of what I’m drawing fanart of when I’ve never drawn a character before, and that’s especially evident with this guy.

[l3ominor]

Was experimenting with colored lineart and thought I'd share the pretty boy!

Reference under cut

[recalled11]

Have a comic I spend two days working on solely for the purpose of figuring out how Legend fights when hes on his own.

TW for violence

[batrogers]

Since @l3ominor won't give y'all @recalled11 horrors yet, I'll share mine and make myself call it done.

Cannot confirm or deny if this will happen in the comic, but I was feeling mean bc of job stress, so someone's gotta suffer and Recalled boys won?/lost? the draw.

Recalled Legend & Ravio with a bit of a Gloom Hands problem....

....

I'm sure they'll be fine.

[trippygalaxy]
