All told, they're somewhat reluctant to set foot here. The land has dealt with Twin Calamities already, wounds still deep and red in its soil. Not only that, but this is the closest to their own time; while Dragmire hasn't minded prodding and poking at chronology further past, they are reasonably conservative when it comes to possibly afflicting their own future/present existence. That said, they expected the time to hold answers to key questions of their autonomy, so the bandage had to be pulled eventually. ...But they weren't expecting the princess to be quite like this. Observation as the nightjar could only be sustained for so long, not due to magical limits but from patience's. The translation was clear as day! How could she not see it? Lacking the vocal cords to explain, the nightjar was forced on the first night, to chirp whenever Zelda's thinking aloud was in error. That didn't work. On the second night, they roused a few Stalchildren to invade her camp, primarily to underline the crucial conjugation that her translation had mangled. No fortune. So now, on the third day, Dragmire had flown out of sight, to return in flesh rather than feathers. "Is not the Survey Team disbanded? This is hardly the place for a lone maiden." Yes, playing pretend. "You won't mind my company."

The translation - or that which she was translating - had been written in ancient Hyrulean script, a language nearing its own extinction. If there were to be any surviving records, they would be at Hyrule castle, tucked away in archives where few would find them. They would be, as they are not there. Not in full. She has transcribed copies of their remnants, but rarely has she ever found an untarnished manuscript in its entirety.

Which, unfortunately, that leaves her to fill in the blanks herself with her spotty memory of Queen Sonia's teachings of the old world. . . .Courtesy of slumbering for tens of thousands of years.

Come the first night, she had grown all too frustrated with all the chirping and cawing of the bird, interrupting her every thought. Come the second, she thought herself better off, without any auditory distraction her thought flowed through and through. . . until a set of stalchildren stalked towards her camp - a threat thought inconsequential, one she could readily dispatch alone.

Come the third, there had been a presence, and then a voice. Someone else; company. Turning towards the figure, she replies, answering each of their comments as she took in their appearance. "Not in its entirety, no. Aside, I am well on my own, thank you." That was the truth, even if she had to assure herself of such. Consequence of failing and failing time and time again when each time Ganon rose.

"Though, you are no more lone than I am. What are you doing here, and. . . what might I call you?"

starter call! @calamight

            He regards the other carefully. He can feel the divine energy of the Triforce from them, but none of the malice that oft accompanies its bearer.

            Curious, he pads closer. He doesn't bother to conceal himself - he knows no harm can come to him - and rather waits for them to acknowledge his presence.

It was strange, unprecedented times they lived in. But time, Astor knew, was a strange beast by its very nature, and the events of the future cared little for standards of the past.

Even so...

Astor stopped walking, soft echoes of his footsteps fading down the caves dim corridors. He turned to the figure behind him. They were a slight thing. Tall enough for a Hylian, rather short for a Gerudo. To put it quite simply, everything about them was all wrong. Their nose was too small and their face was too soft and nothing about them seemed remotely connected to Calamity Ganon or any of his previous lives.

And yet they held the name Dragmire. And yet the mysterious stone in Astor's possession had brought him straight to them. And yet the malice he controlled seemed to know them, bow to them.

Strange and unprecedented times, indeed.

"You would do well to not dawdle, Dragmire," Astor said the name was though it were an unfamiliar and not entirely pleasant taste in his mouth, "I've found these caves to be rather unforgiving. The ruins of my time are not much farther."

Tea + 24 & 26.

Spill the Tea

24. Would you sacrifice one innocent person to save a thousand others?

She couldn't sacrifice someone else, though that says little of herself. She has, twice now, sealed her fate for the betterment of Hyrule. Though, the Goddess had smiled upon her both times, releasing her from almost certain death the first time, and an eternity of near non-existence the second time. She had hardly been herself after the transformation she undertook, and she very well wouldn't have ever been herself again.

. . .suffice to say, she would sacrifice herself, even simply to save a single person.

26. What’s your favorite smell in the entire world, and have you ever tried to bottle it?

Though she hasn't had the pleasure of tasting it quite yet, she has had the scent of its fruity decadence, back when she had once accompanied Urbosa to the Noble Canteen. It, of course, being the Gerudo specialty, the Noble Pursuit. Though, she's a grown woman, now, and can be allowed to drink of it.

if you were a deity, what would you be the god of? // balance & revenge.

another seemingly intimidating figure. some only know you for revenge and fear you. however, you’re fair and provide justice and balance to your worshippers. you are regarded as the judge, jury, and executioner, and no one can escape.

✧.   get to know the author !

name : zeta

pronouns : she / her

preference of communication : im’s via tumblr atm! i’m on discord but i am EXTREMELY shy so that is currently saved for mutuals at the moment.

most active muse ( s ) : as of right now midna is my main gal! though i’ve been feeling very tempted to pick up lumine since it’s been awhile. i have a few other muses that are burning a hole in my pocket (along with an oc or two) but they’re either a) a passing fancy or b) i feel... way too embarrassed to even think about offering them to anyone. LOL.

experience / how many years : as if i didn’t feel old enough turning 30 in June LMAO... i would wager at LEAST twenty or so years at this point, but i’ve had a lot of irl things that took me away from writing for stretches at a time during all of that.

best experience : hooo this is hard... probably back when i was writing in my original fandom and i found a writing partner with an awesome au that i just clicked with really with. we don’t talk much any more but i still care for them deeply, and i loved working off their ideas. we even had a single thread that continued for MONTHS. wild to think that i had the mental stamina for that! also i was in a group chat (same muse) and someone mentioned that our thread (albeit a short one) felt very in character and i was just. beyond touched at the time. small things like getting asks and stuff were always a big treat too! (and still are!!)

rp pet peeves : when people don’t give me anything to work off of. rp is a two way street, and while i know not every reply has to be a novel or move the characters in a certain way every time, if i’m left carrying the scene on my own it dries up my interest very quickly. also, not fully rp related but over complicated blog themes. i love themes! coding is absolute wizardry to me and people who can make and/or edit stuff beautifully are magic! but if i have to highlight the page to try and see where links are or have to copy/paste text onto a text document due to eye straining colors? nah dog. i’m outtie.

plots or memes : i ADORE plotting! not every detail has to be hashed out but getting a feel for the direction for the rp or if there’s some sort of idea you’d like to talk about and experiment through writing? LET’S GOOOOO!! though that can also easily be brought up or be inspired by memes so! kinda both? is that an acceptable answer?? i’m admittedly prone to getting super hyped to talk about plots and then... have my mind go blank from a stage fright response, LMAO. so having memes to work off of can be INCREDIBLY handy for me. the two more or less go hand in hand in my book!

are you like your muse ( s ) : yes and no? IT’S A BIT HARD TO EXPLAIN. but at  least one thing midna and i share is that we care very deeply but expressing it, especially through words is. very difficult. or we make it more difficult than it should be. :,D at the very least i know for a fact ALL of them would disown me the minute i started spitting puns (which is very, VERY often.)

@calamight​ / STARTER CALL !

the demon approached the boarder town of hyrule castle with a grim expression & one goal in mind . find this black magic user . hyrule was in a time of peace -- but it was not long ago it was in chaos from the damned desires of the demon king ; who fell to the hands of the hero & the princess only a few decades years ago . in that time he was appointed general of the hyrulean royal army & he would hold that with pride . so when whispers of dark magic spread through the people & into the ears of the castle he knew what he must do . ray cadell knew the signs of demise’s return better than any sage could say . but . . . it was so soon after his last return ! ganondorf ( or whatever name he claimed ) would barely be a man . what army would he have ? 

cadell would be able to dispose of him easily if that was the case . finally be the hero . redeem himself for all of the sins he committed under the dark lords name . 

the clattering of his armor annoyed him greatly as he made way through the town . the mortals staring with wide eyes at seeing such grand armor . a man from the capital was a terrifying sight to some . what little they knew . living their lives in blissful ignorance to what may come to pass . stupid . the lot of them . soon enough he found the one who seemed to be the most knowledgeable . young looking but with eyes that pierced through the crowd of people ; akin to a hawk watching it’s prey . 

‘ answer my questions truthful & we will have no issues . understand me ? ‘ to say the demon-knight was stressed was an understatement .

calamight replied to your post: Are you angered that Zelda has a short mane now?...

angry…anrgy about haircut

“Not everyone can work a bob cut, but Zelda doesn’t need to worry about that. She looks great. Also, short hair makes sense if you’re going to be running around in dusty ruins with monsters.”

“This is tedious, and beneath you.”

It isn’t that he wouldn’t like to be more positive - merely that his most ardently expressed opinions are resolutely ignored. Some stimuli are kinder to him ( he finds he rather likes research ) and he more receptive in turn, but day-to-day tasks, maintenance, living life -- these are things he was crafted to look past. The exchange taking place, which might involve fruit or clothing - he hasn’t cared to listen - may be necessary, true, but he feels the goal could be accomplished more efficiently.

“Bartering! Take his wares and be on, your time is much better spent on...anything. Truly, anything. His voice is enough to justify force.”

As maddeningly long as he’s had to acquaint himself with the aching frustration of purpose unfulfilled, current territory is truly beyond what has ever dared been imagined. To be so close to the only sort he need be useful to and go unused ( perhaps even ineptly used, but the notion alone is so stinging he’s never gone more than a half-second before shouldering it aside ) is uniquely stifling. 

That he lacks his poor, lovely body to gesture with, and that his current approximation of speech has only ever registered to this very individual who can’t well reply with company, is salt in the wound. It’s enough to leave a soul...sulky.

                 nobody  in  all  of  hyrule  save  for  the  church  &  their  father  knew  that  they  have  been  staying  at  the  eastern  abbey.   they  remain  relatively  safe  within  the  confines  of  this  sacred  ground...   that  is,  until...   there  is  a  change  in  the  air,   a  flicker  of  a  shadow,   that  zelda  can  not  help  but  want  to  investigate.   trying  to  reason  with  the  deafening  curiosity  burning  at  the  back  of  their  skull,   zelda  emerges  a  loser  to  their  own  urges.   they  shift  slightly,  and  look:  there  is  a  person  there.

                they  may  not  be  friendly.   zelda  peers  closer  to  gauge  the  proper  approach.   there  is  something...   strange  about  this  person.   hylia’s  dormant  powers  do  not  stir,   however,   save  for  a  minute  itching  on  the  back  of  their  right  hand.  zelda  can  only  hardly  sense  that  something  should  be  amiss.   this  all  would  be  irrelevant,  because  they  open  their  mouth  anyways --- regardless  of  what  their  instinct  tells  them.   they  can’t  protect  their  nation  but  perhaps  they  can  start  with  protecting  the  plateau.

                “   whatever  you’re  looking  for,  it’s  not  here.  there  is  nothing  noteworthy  in  this  part  of  hyrule  but  statues  &  memorials.  ”    zelda  steps  out  of  the  unguarded  building  to  glance  at  the  stranger  from  head  to  toe,   trying  their  best  to  look  unimpressed.   there  is  a  pounding  in  their  chest,  beating  wildly.  just  what  are  they  trying  to  prove ?   “  the  nuns  have  mentioned  people  loitering  about  &  taking  things,  and...  ”  zelda  tries  to  clear  the  heart  lodged  in  their  throat,    “  pardon  me,  you  seem  to  look  the  sort.  ”
