And you never knew, how much I really liked you.
To my Legend lovers. And to my friends on discord, I did the thing :)
Characters: Legend, Reader, mentions of Ravio, Time, Wind, Sky, Warriors, Twilight, Wild, Four, Hyrule and Marin.
Warnings: Idk Legend crying at the end bc why not??
Legend knew that treating you like this won't really solve anything. The snappy remarks, piercing glares, and the absolute harsh accusations that spill from his mouth.
The arguments with the rest of the chain about how they trusted your words way too easily for his liking. Come on now! They're heros who's been doing this for awhile, they should understand about enemies disguising themselves to attack until they're vulnerable!
Yet deep down, he too fully trusted your words as well.
Underneath all his actions?
He remembers.
Legend doesn't really know why he was the only one that remembered you straight away. Perhaps it's because of how many adventures he's been on, and the way that you willingly stuck by his side through out all of it.
He remembers your soothing voice of comfort after his journey on Wind Fish Island. The way you comforted him and reassured him on what happened, but that feeling didn't last.
You disappeared.
You left him.
And again when the world called for him only then did you return. Once more did you guide him through his adventure, but you weren't just a companion. No, you were someone he cherished deeply. You were his friend, the only person that knew of his troubles and you knew him like the back of your hand.
Those nights of hushed whispers when Legend had time for solitude. Those nights of you guiding him through his injuries, and those touches of warmth that he felt after patching himself. You called them 'feel better kisses.'
Legend remembers the time you welcome Ravio with open arms. He didn't miss the way how Ravio would speak so softly towards him, whenever he asked about you or asked if you wanted any item in particular. In return, Legend would voice out your response.
He recalls the time you encouraged him to jump into the lake for him to cool off, after he lost his temper at a merchant. The way your giggles echoed in his ears, a bit muffled, since he refused to appear in the surface since he felt his face burn a bit.
The way you spoke adamantly about wanting stay and listen to Marin whenever she sang the ballad. It was honestly both of your favorite tune.
Until one day did you finally left him for good. The night before your disappearance you were even more affectionate than ever. Hogging his attention and all around his body was this warm feeling as if someone placed a blanket over him. Legend felt giddy since you've never acted this way before. He relished in your affection as he returned home to lay in bed.
As he prepared for bed, it was the only time he was able to relax. To feel like he didnt need to worry about his next adventure nor worry what who or whag to save next. Legend heard that familiar ballad again, but this time it wasn't Marin's voice, it was yours.
Legend, surpisingly allowed himself to be vulnerable tonight as he laid in bed. He mourned the people of Koholint Island, and his heart ached for a certain purple merchant that can no longer visits.
Underneath the covers did he enjoy the soft singing of your voice. Eventually, he bid you a good night, and he could've sworn you whispered a 'Sweet dreams.'
"I'm sorry-"
Now here you are standing in front of him physically. And sweet Hylia were you even more magnificent than he could imagine. Finally being able to see your expression, the way you stood, and being able to put a face to your voice. Legend greedily took in all the details of who you were until he realized what you did.
You gave him false hope of being together, and being at his side. Now you pretend that the past years of wondering and solving dangerous dungeons together didn't exist?
That his hardships were nothing but entertainment for you? Was Zelda nothing to you? Was Ravio's affection to you also nothing?
Legend hates you.
He hates you and your stupid [color] hair.
He hates the way your voice reach his ears whenever you spoke with the Champion.
He hates your laugh whenever he catches you with the sailor.
He hates the way you unashamedly gave your affection too the Traveler.
He hates how you and the Old Man can speak so softly to each other during those quiet moments.
He hates the way you flirt back to the Captain whenever you wanted to tease back.
He hates the look on your face whenever the Smith shows you his variety of artifacts and tools he's created.
He hates the way you rest with the Knight. The look of ease and the full trust of being in each other's company.
But he especially hates the way you sing with the Rancher. Familiar melodies that you sang before with him.
Yet Legend still loves you. He loves you so much that he would give up everything he has just to be with you.
Legend has traveled between worlds, and he would do so again just to have you once more.Except he felt that sickening feeling of envy. He wanted you to hurt the way he did after all those years.
Although the nagging thoughts that appear, saying that it won't fix anything that has happened. He's just too stubborn to acknowledge the longing that's still there.
And now as he stands in his home. His cluttered home with artifacts that he has collected during his time adventuring.
None of them held any value to him except for you.
His adventure is over, and so is yours.
They took you home.
Legend, finally alone, collapses onto the ground. Gripping his hair as hot tears fall down his face, the world around him gone as he loses himself in thoughts.
Because I never even told you, Oh, and I meant to

On Koholint Island, Marin asks Link to never forget her, and to never forget the song that she sings, The Ballad of the Wind Fish.
In another lifetime, as Link traverses the malice-infested ruins of Hyrule Castle and prepares to face down Calamity Ganon, a song stirs in his head. A song he swears he’s never heard before.

dialogue "i’ve seen greatness in you." for a lil lucy 👀
Little Lucy Pevensie comes back from the country a film that has been left in the sun for days. Perhaps forgotten. Her edges are smudged and her skin is overlit. Her eyes sit, deep dark channels, where once shone all the joy a little girl could fit behind her eyelids. As paper draped over a wooden frame and set alight, little Lucy Pevensie sits in her chair -
And waits.
Her nails are bloody. Her eyes are rimmed red. When she opens her mouth, out come words no one understands, torn open on the blades of her teeth. She frowns.
She tilts her head. When she smiles, there is an afterimage, as a film that was left exposed for too long. Here is little Lucy, chubby-cheeked and bare-faced, plucking dandelion seeds from their stem. Here is some shadow of a thing pulling human skin over razor blades, gone thin and translucent where it doesn't quite fit.
Staring at the wooden desk, fingering the knothole.
Little Lucy Pevensie does not speak when spoken to. She blinks. She frowns. She smiles. There is a scent, in the curl of her hair and in the ridges of her palms that is stronger the further the day goes on. In the mornings, it is a faint thing, as a sailor who speaks of the sea still, for years after he has left it. A whiff of salt when the wind is just right.
By the time the sun sits low on the horizon, little Lucy Pevensie smells of fish and seaweed. A cove that has been flooded for so long it retains the stink of rotten reeds and something dying still clinging onto rock even when the tide leaves it dry and salt-crusted. Algae covered floors and mussel covered walls cradling that last bit of water that can never leave. A salt crust so thick it breaks in sharp edges.
The sea boils under the afternoon sun until the tide washes back in.
Lucy Pevensie sits at her desk and waits. In the right light, her hands are forced shut and dripping white. Her collarbones scrape against her skin in an angle so wrong it hurts to look at. When she wets her cracked lips with her tongue, it is a live thing. A pier left flooded for centuries. A sunken ship.
A flash. An opened hole. One-and-two-and.
Lucy Pevensie is chubby-cheeked and bare-faced. She is youngest of four and worships her older siblings with all her little heart. She plucks dandelion seeds from their stems. Her tongue is pink as a blooming peony. The freckles on her nose are faded, and when she smiles, there are gaps in between her teeth.
"Can you understand me?", asks her teacher.
"Adam's flesh lays bare Adam's bone", says Lucy, and scrapes her fingernails over the tiny bit of bark that wasn't removed when this table was built. In a hurry, surely. "There is none other who can bare the weight."
"Lucy", says her teacher. "The apples. How many have you got if you give ten to Imogen?"
"I've seen greatness in you", says Lucy. "There will be ballads singing of the shape of your teeth when all this has turned to rubble. Are you not proud?" She tilts her head. She smiles.
On the photograph, her eyes are white with froth.

i wrote this little marlink fluff while listening to link and marin's ballad of the wind fish!! it's too short for ao3 so i'll put it here
Link’s hands drift across the ocarina holes as he lightly blows into the instrument. Besides him, Marin sings, joining him in harmony. Her voice goes effortlessly high, dazzling him as always, and he almost stops playing accidentally. She giggles as his notes slip up for a second, then continues without a thought.
“You’re getting better!” She comments as they finish. Link shrugs, bashful. He really only thinks he’s good at Manbo’s Mambo, because he uses it so much to get around the island. And compared to Marin’s singing, his off-tune Ballad of the Wind Fish really is nothing.
Marin pokes his cheek. “Hehe, you’re blushing.” Oops.
“Your singing is way better,” Link protests. Marin shrugs.
“All I do is sing, though,” She says. “And Ballad of the Wind Fish was the only song I knew until you came around.”
I could listen to you sing all day, Link thinks. Marin stutters and blushes, and he suddenly realizes he said that out loud. “I-I mean-”
“Y-you…!” Marin turns away, face red. “Ahhh… I don’t know what to say to that, Link…!”
Link laughs, nervous and quiet. Marin puts her hands on her cheeks.
“W-Well,” Marin eventually continues. “You go off on adventures, and do all this cool stuff, and get all these cool things…! And I’m just… a girl from an island who sings a lot! So, um… I think you’d have better things to do than listen to me sing all day, haha!”
“Dungeons aren’t fun,” Link mumbles, twisting his hair around his finger. “I like being around the village more.”
“Pff,” Marin snorts.
Link looks to her. “Hm?”
“It’s just… we seem to both want to do what the other does!” 
“Yeah, I guess so,” Link smiles. “I like adventuring, though.”
“And I like my village,” Marin replies. “I just… also want to go explore sometimes!”
Link nods. He lifts up his ocarina again, wiping spit onto his sleeve. Marin makes a face at that, then shifts her gaze to Link’s face.
“Do you want to play again?” She asks, and he nods. “Alright!”
Marin starts the song, and Link joins in soon after. He feels happiest when he’s around her, especially when they play music together. He could do this forever.

The absolute most fascinating thing about Marin's character to me is the way she fits into the overall themes of Link's Awakening and how she's connected to the island as a whole. I interpret Koholint as a reflection of the Wind Fish, with different parts of Koholint reflecting different aspects of the Wind Fish. Marin is the primary reflection of the Wind Fish's desire to wake. This is why she's the only one on the island (aside from the Owl) who seems capable of comprehending a world beyond Koholint, let alone longing for it; this is where her desire to leave and travel comes from. This is also why she knows the Ballad of the Wind Fish and sings it so frequently. This interpretation is the absolute cornerstone on how I view Marin.

Hi Pinky! I don't know where to put this or who to tell this to cause none lf my friends are available+loz enthusiasts (one of them hates loz with a burning passion too lmao😔😔) (He has beef with loz)
So uh yeah! New Link and Zelda yippie 100,000 yrs after Wild's era! Realm, Wild's successor is just as chaotic as him but his chaoticness(+trauma) goes beyond the stratosphere ❤️ (The Hero of Realms is this Link's hero title, Realm is his assigned nickname ig, stil not sure if this is his final hero title cause his story is still messy, doesn't make sense, and incomplete)
He's also 10 the babey and has facial recognition problems, he'd like look at four and say "Hi Wind! :D"
He also suggests stuff that are like a wtf worthy response, "Wanna watch me split the sea in half?" or "Wanna watch me steal the moon?" or "Wanna watch me break disassemble the master sword and reassemble it again like a lego?" *Fi had to intervene lmao* also Fi makes a physical appearance here haha! She deserves a comeback >:(
You wanna know whats more? He's Time and Twilight's descendant, he's physical proof that Twilight got laid hahahahaha gsvk djkfkdhshsjdk Imagine their shock Time going like Dang my bloodline survive that long??? And Twilight going Dang I continued the bloodline???
Funfact when Twilight tries to use the crystal while on Realms dragon companion the crystal doesn't work, it cancels out the crystals power
And this Link in particular doesn't have blonde or brunette hair, he has cherry red hair like Malon's except darker and the iconic blue eyes
He also has a dragon travelling companion (the dragon is like similar to the dragons in botw/totk, big flying danger noodles) the dragon grants Realm the power to open portals from realm to realm, era to era, or the past, present, and future of that certain realm. Also that dragon companion is this Link's mother, the whole time his mother has been with him the whole adventure, they even fought Ganon together along with Zelda :'(  (I mean Realm did all the work tanking Ganon all the dragon did is fight off a whole army of monsters while saving civilians) (but does the chain know that? No) (Realm gets really stingy when someone makes unwelcomed comments to the dragon, or when they ride on the dragon and one of the chain accidentally does something that causes the dragons scales/mane to be stained/dirty) (yes I'm so unoriginal but shush) (the dragon also sings, it sings lullabies like zeldas lullaby, lost woods, ballad of the wind fish, etc... It doesn't have like powerful mighty roars a dragon should have but it has like a mystical, melodious, and serene roars, or just think of Mothras roar) (the dragons shards can also empower or heal anything or anyone with it)
Ignore this if you want I'm basically rambling stuff that is completely unrelated to your blog XD
Is mama dragon as big as Mushu though?
Do we get memes? ^.^*
Does she yell about dishonor to the rest of the boys who try to interfere with what her baby is doing? XD

The Windfish Slumbers Long
Summary: Link wakes up at sea after Link's Awakening and discovers just how long both he and the Wind Fish has been sleeping. Part of Rinku's backstory for this au. But! You don't need to know a single thing about the au for this fic to make sense beyond that Link is ALttP, OoX, LA and ALBW Link. This fic explains the transition from LA into ALBW.
(Rinku is trans-fem in the au but isn't aware or transitioned at this point in her story so I'm just gonna use he/him. I make the rules here and it's not misgendering.)
Warnings: Major Character Death (in the past), grief, some elements of depression, some lack of concern/awareness of injury & general lack of self care, sleeplessness, it’s LA so there’s a bit of questioning real vs dream, Angst angsty angst and I struggled to get a semi-okay happy end for this one shot. Ask to tag.
Ao3 Link
-
The wash of water and caw of seagulls filled the air. It was dark. He gasped as he emerged from the water, gripping a plank of wood. Light streamed down, shining on the salt sea. Warming his cheeks.
Breath.
Breath.
He coughed on salt water, groaning as he sat up properly. It was over. ...What a dream. What a nightmare... But he was alive.
Breath.
He placed a hand on his chest, feeling the escape of air.
Really alive.
It grew cold. Link looked up as a shadow blocked out the sun. A massive whale flew overhead, water spraying on his face. He laughed. The Wind Fish passed by, letting the light return to his face. Link sat there, breathing. Relishing in the fact that it might not have all been imaginary. The ordeal was real. The Wind Fish was free and it was real.
Really real.
The smile faded. Marin. Tarin. The rest of the island…
Link let the wave of water wash as he sat on the wreck that was his ship. Side to side. Seagulls cawed. He didn’t know how long it was. Bobbing back and forth. Breathing. He looked up, slowly, as a seagull passed, a red tint in the head feathers. He wasn’t sure if it was a trick of the light or not. She cawed, circling him. He had time to consider her, shifting to lay on the planks of wood. The feathers shifted in the light of the sun, but it was truly tinted with red. 
She was a lovely bird, and her cries sounded like music. A tune he had heard before. He hummed, and it matched. The bird song. The Ballad of the Wind Fish. ... He stared, raising a hand to the sun to shield his eyes. Marin? 
He sighed, letting go of the weight in his chest. Maybe... Maybe it would be okay. 
All he had to worry about now was a broken ship, getting back home, and apologizing endlessly for worrying his uncle.
The seagull stayed with him, circling, singing. 
Voices eventually called out over the open water and Link sat up. He tried to yell, but his voice was shot, scratchy with disuse and salt. He coughed and fumbled, barely keeping his purchase on his makeshift raft.
The seagull flew over to the ship, circling back to him, and the crew finally noticed him. The sailors shouted words that didn’t sound truly familiar. It sounded close to Hylian but warped. ...Were his ears clogged with seawater?
They helped him up, leaving his ruined ship behind. When he looked back, the wood seemed to immediately sink, as if its job had finished. Link stumbled on the ship’s deck, his legs giving up on him. A sailor helped prop him back up, asking a question. Link stared for a moment, trying to unclog his ears.
They asked again, still garbled with a strange accent, “How long ??? out there, kid?”
He swallowed past the scratch in his throat and muttered, “I don’t know.” He looked at the sea, endless in its expanse. The seagull sat on the edge of the ship. How far did he drift? He whispered, hoarse, “Where are we?”
Someone giggled and shouted to him, “How old ?? a ???”
Link squinted, then shook his head. “What?”
Someone else, the captain probably, yelled at the crew and waved them away. He pulled Link under his arm and turned them towards the inside of the ship. Link tumbled into step.
“Shoo! Shoo! ??? dumb bird!” 
Link turned his head to the voice. A sailor tried in vain to shoo the red-headed seagull away. Link gasped “HEY! What are you doing?” He ducked out of the Captain’s hold, running over to the sailor and the bird. “Be nice to her!” He stood in front of the bird as the Captain followed him. Link stumbled with the wash of water but kept his footing as the crew approached. “Don’t touch her!!”
He swallowed and it hurt.
“Kid, it’s just a bird. Nobody’s ??? to hurt it. It’s ????”
"DON’T"
"Kid. Put the sword down."
Sword? He looked down. The Koholint sword clasped shakily in one hand. He dropped it. The bird squawked, feathers fluttering. Link turned at the sound and the bird flew into the distance. “Marin!”
Someone grabbed him around his waist, yanking him up. He screamed. 
“Ay! Don’t go diving ????? the sea again. Come here, come here. It’s fine! I’m sorry, it’s just a gull! ??? safe. Calm down!”
Link gasped in breaths. 
Breathe.
Breathe.
He went limp.
“Golden Three, someone get that kid below deck before he hurts himself. And put that sword ??? he can’t reach. ????? me.”
He was carried down and left in a cabin in the dark. He curled up, legs pressed up against his chest. He should just sleep. Ask where they were and if they were going to Hyrule soon later. He should just sleep. Wait until he could finally see his uncle again. He should just sleep. Suffer those nightmares instead, because at least he can fight those.
He didn't sleep.
“Hoy there,” a gentle voice called, “??? awake?”
Link looked up, brushing his hair out of his eyes. 
The sailor smiled at him. They held out a bottle. “??? water. What ???? name?” 
“Link.”
“Like the ???? hero. Cute.” 
Whatever. He didn’t care if they didn’t know who he was. “Where?” he whispered.
“Just south of Hyrule. A good week out now. Not too long.”
“A week?” He sighed, curling back into himself.
“Where're ????? ????”
“I don’t know what you’re saying.”
They frowned, thinking. Then, “Home?” They made a motion with their hands, like a roofed house.
“Oh. Central Hyrule. I-” He swallowed “My uncle is going to be worried sick. I- I was only supposed to be gone for a week.”
They smiled, “We’ll ????? ??? uncle ??? okay?”
“....Sure.” He sighed, curling back in. The sailor patted his shoulder.
“I’ll let ???? rest.” Their footsteps retreated.
He didn’t sleep. 
-
He had a sword, a satchel of food, and a long walk. The sailors waved goodbye. It hadn’t taken long to learn what he’d been missing from their strange accent. They were nice enough. Even if they teased him about speaking “old”, whatever that meant. Some of them had offered to help him back to central Hyrule from the port, but he’d done this journey before. He took a bite out of an apple he’d been given and started walking.
No one paid him much attention. Which was strange. Most people knew his face. Hero of Legend and all that. But it wasn’t an unwelcome change of pace. He didn’t care. He just had to go home. See his uncle. Send a letter to Rosa… And to Zelda, Din, Nayru and Ralph- ...Goodness he was going to be writing endless letters. Maybe he’ll just sneak into the castle to see Zelda instead of sending a letter. She’ll definitely smack him but it’ll be worth it.
The walk home was a familiar one. A few strange trees and buildings he couldn’t remember, but it was a simple walk.
The house, however. Looked far more ill-kept than usual. Link dropped the backpack slung over his shoulder and raced to the door. Locked. He fumbled for the key- …That he didn't have. It must have been lost at sea. He knocked on the door. "Uncle?! Uncle are you home? It's Link!"
Nothing. A rush of fear raced up his spine. No no no he was fine, his uncle was fine. He could be in town. He could be in a meeting with Zelda. He knocked again. "Uncle?!"
He circled the house. The windows were shut, covered by curtains. The wood was rotting, and the roof sunk in lightly, overwhelmed by the weight of leaves and moss.
He huffed and took out his sword. Glass shattered against metal. Link reached in, ignoring the groove of sharp glass digging into his arm as he unlatched the window. The lock was rusted.
“AUGH.” Link swore and fumbled back from the window. 
He turned, taking in a breath to brave Kakariko- his eyes landed on a young boy. They stared at each other.
“What?” Link finally huffed.
“Are you a thief?”
“No. I’m trying to break into my own house.” 
“You don’t look old enough for that to be your house.”
“Fine. My uncle’s house.” Link turned around. Maybe he’ll ask Zelda first. His legs didn’t move where he willed them. No, he won’t worry her. …He turned back to look at the kid. “Do you know where my uncle went?”
The boy shook his head. “Sorry mister.”
Link sighed, “Do you know how any secret tricks to getting in here then? I’m hoping my uncle left a note. Or something...”
“Oh. Well, there’s a hole I see mice use sometimes!”
Link’s nose curled. “...There’s mice in my house?”
“Lots!”
Link swore a few more times. The boy’s eyes lit up. Link swore again. “Forget I said that!”
The boy giggled, “I’m Gulley, my dad’s the blacksmith! What’s your name?”
“Link.” He smiled and knelt down in front of Gulley. “Can you help me? I need to find my uncle, maybe your parents know him?”
“Oh! Sure! Come on, Link!” Gulley raced off and Link sighed, chasing after.
The blacksmith’s wife watched them come up the hill, waving. “Who’s that, Gulley?”
“This is Link! He’s looking for his uncle! He was trying to break into the old abandoned house!”
“It’s- It’s mine!” Link huffed, “It’s my house.”
The blacksmith’s wife gave him a strange look, then nodded. “I see. Who is your uncle?”
“A retired knight, large, dark hair. He has this big mustache and usually wears a vest-” 
“I’m sorry I- I don’t think I’ve ever seen him.”
“I- …At all?”
She shook her head. “Sweetie, where were you supposed to meet him?”
Link shook his head and looked around, “I’m sorry to bother you. I’ll. I’ve got to check somewhere. I- …Thanks.” He raced off. 
Gulley said something from behind him, but he couldn’t hear it over the sound of his own unsteady breaths.
The graveyard was bigger than it used to be. Link swayed a bit on his feet, staring at it all. He shook his head and ran to the edge of what he was familiar with. The oldest stones were starting to crumble with age.
Maybe this was the nightmare. He’s had the one where his uncle died plenty of times before. Never quite so quietly. It had never been a gentle one. He felt like he was walking through a dream, more than he ever did in Koholint. His mind was empty and racing all at once. 
Please don’t be there. Please don’t be there.
It didn’t take long to find. The stone was closer to the older section. His family’s shield and the crest of the royal family etched in its stone. Link dropped to his knees in front of it. He couldn’t- the triforce had brought him back. He stared at the stone for a long moment, throat caught.
He traced his hand over the lettering- His fingers caught against the numbers at the end. …When? 
….Ages. Abandoned. They had told him. Repeatedly. ….Just how long had he been gone?
….He should’ve been in his own 60s, at the least, with that date. Zelda would be too… All the others- He had missed so much. He turned his head, and his eyes caught the stone next to it. … the same symbols, different name. His name. 
“Link, Hero of Hyrule, Holodrum and Labrynna, beloved son, nephew, and friend. Lost at sea” 
“THE WIND FISH SLUMBERS LONG... THE HERO’S LIFE GONE…”
“Oh.” He hadn’t expected that… He should’ve. Link leaned his head on his uncle’s headstone. Cold and hard and everything that wasn’t his uncle. His fingers dug into the grass and dirt. He choked on a sob.  
“Hello?”
His friends could practically be strangers to him by now. They thought he was dead.
“Sir?”
Link stared at the stone, unmoving. Years. He’d been gone for years and years.
A hand gently tapped his shoulder. He jumped, fumbling backward. A light teal-haired girl smiled at him.
“Sorry to startle you, I’m Seres. I’m a keeper of the sanctuary grounds, the priest’s daughter.”
“Oh.” It took Link a moment to find his voice. “S-sorry. Am I- Am I in- in the way of something?” 
“Ah, no. I- You just… seemed distressed.”
“...Sorry.”
“It’s alright. I just wanted to check on you. You’ve been here for hours.”
He has? Link looked around. Well, that explained the dark. “Oh.”
Seres smiled, and offered him her hand, “Why don’t you come inside for a moment?”
“...What year is it?”
“Sorry?” 
Link kept his gaze on the headstone, “I need to know how long this has been here.”
“Oh! Goodness,” She looked at the stone. She had to think for a moment, “At least over three hundred years.”
Link stiffened. Three. Hundred. No one- no one even had a chance of still being here. “Oh.”
Seres kneeled next to him. There was a peaceful quiet, and Link straightened up. She hummed. “Is he an ancestor?”
“Uncle.”
She nodded softly, “Would you like to come inside for a prayer, then? …It might help.”
Link closed his eyes and nodded, “Okay.”
Seres stood, and helped Link up, watching him carefully, “I’ve never seen you before. Are you new to the area?”
“No… I’ve- I was here a long time ago.” 
“When was that?”
Link considered his options. Far over 300 years ago, apparently. Less than a year ago, in his mind. “As a child,” he muttered.
“Ahh. Well, welcome back. Are you staying in Kakariko?”
“...I don’t know.”
Seres glanced at him as they entered the sanctuary. “Well, you’re welcome to stay here if you need.”
Link sat down in a pew, staring forward into the unfamiliar familiar structure of the sanctuary. “Was… Was this rebuilt?”
“About 100 years ago. How did you know?”
“...The secret passage is gone.”
Seres tilted her head, curious.
“There used to be an old hidden passageway to the castle. It’s gone.”
“...Oh! I know that story, the hero of legend rescued the princess from the dungeons and brought her here, through a hidden passage underground.” Seres smiled, “Sanctuary found in a Sanctuary. It’s quite the legacy to live up to. I hope I’m helping in keeping this such a true safe haven as the keeper then.”
“...You seem nice. I’m sure you are.”
Seres nodded, “I’m honored you think so. What’s your name?”
“Link,” he sighed, looking down, hair flopping into his face.
“It’s nice to meet you, Link.” 
“It’s nice to meet you too.” He folded his hands in front of him, eyes focused on the ground.
She looked at him for a moment longer, then nodded, “I’ll leave you to your prayers. If you ever need something, I’ll be available.”
He closed his eyes and sighed, “Thank you.”
-
“Are you okay Link?!” Gulley called from the outside of the house. 
Link sneezed, “Just cramped and full of dust!” He’s lucky the mouse hole was easy enough to make bigger with all the rotting wood. He squeezed in the rest of the way into the house proper and looked up into the building.
Dust coated the entire house. Thick. Cobwebs hung across the ceiling. Clinging to corners and edges. Link looked around, eyes wide. The house felt ancient.  The bed was made, untouched, blanketed in a sheet of dust. Glass cracked in his boots. The pots were gone. The chest was gone. His uncle's things were gone…. So much was gone.
“Linkkkk are you gonna let me in so I can see?!” 
He sighed and moved towards the door. He had to slam himself into the door to get it open. Gulley cheered as it creaked open, and Link let him in. “Wowwwww, it’s so gross!”
Link looked at the building with flat tiredness. It was. Maybe this was how that ghost felt going home. Dull and empty, yet full to the brim of a cobwebs from the past, just like the building. He arranged his expression into a smile and ruffled Gulley’s hair. “Yep, be careful.”
Gulley looked around in the sparse leftover stuff. Some of it Link didn’t even recognize. Maybe someone else had moved in for a short time? Link moved to the bed, looking underneath it. He sighed in relief as his fingers caught hold of a box. He dragged it out, blowing the dust off his ring box. 
"What's that?" Gulley asked, pointing at the box.
Link smiled, sitting on the edge of the dusty comforter. He opened the box. "Magic rings from Labrynna and Holodrum." He pointed, "Well. This is from Princess Zelda. Or, one of the past Princess Zeldas."
Gulley looked at the box in wonder, "From a Princess? How do you know?"
He leaned in, "I'll tell you a secret. She gave it to me herself. I'm the hero of legend."
Gulley looked up at him wide eyed, then squinted and pouted. He closed the box on him. "You almost had me! But you don't know! You're just being silly."
Link sighed and ran his hands over the box. He laughed. "Yeah. Yeah I am. You're a smart kid."
He watched Gulley start looking at the leftover stuff, poking at the fireplace. Link pocketed the ring box and rushed over to scoop the kid up. He playfully roared and lifted Gulley up onto his shoulders. The boy laughed and kicked and giggled. 
Link tromped across the creaky floorboards. "I've got you now young knight! There's no escape from I, the dust wizard!" 
Gulley squealed, "Noooo!"
Link twirled, kicking up the dust on the floor. He sneezed. Gulley laughed and hit the rafter of the roof from his vantage point on his shoulders. More dust fell off. Link closed his eyes and coughed "No- ack- my only weakness. Dust!" 
Link ducked down and ran out of the building. Gulley giggling on his shoulders. 
It would need a lot of repairs. Probably should be rebuilt entirely. But. He could manage that. The foundations survived this long.

The Ballad of Marin
Clinging to the remains of a ship with one arm and holding onto the unconscious body of a blond young man with the other, was a redhead in a soaked blue dress
The waters were mostly peaceful, no strong waves threatening to drown the pair. In the distance was a ship sailing through the waters
"HEY!" she called out to the ship she spotted nearby. "OVER HERE!"
Fortune seemed to smile upon her as the ship progressed closer to the pair. Of course that could be mere chance, so Marin kept calling to the ship, hoping that she was seen or heard
When the ship was by the two, a pair of ropes tossed to the side. "Tie the rope around yourselves!" she was instructed and she quickly did so to Link first before securing herself and giving the signal
There was the sound of struggling as the crew pulled with all their might. Marin could hear what she assumed to be the captain berating his crew. "Put yer backs into it!" he yelled at them from above her
"Cap'n, they're too heavy!" came the shouting of a crewman
"What's wrong with ya?" the captain berated as he too joined in the heaving to no avail. "Wait, it's not working, we need leverage. One set of men at the mast, and one set on each side. Got it?"
Multiple "aye ayes" could be heard as the crew took positions and pulled again. This time, Marin could feel herself and Link being pulled out of the water
When they made their landing, Marin just panted as she gazed as Link's slowly breathing body
"Shiver me timbers," came the voice of one of the crew. "That's Link!"
"Lass, what happened?" the captain asked, concern in his voice
Marin turned her gaze towards their saviors and saw a group of skeletons dressed as pirates. If Marin were a normal person, she wouldn't be calm in the presence of pirates. But these pirates not only saved her, but they were concerned for Link. That was reason enough to trust them
"We were in a storm," she answered, tenderly brushing some hair out of Link's face. There was no need to explain further
"Aye, there was a storm just last night," he muttered. "Yer lucky to have survived," he told her
She turned her gaze back towards Link and smiled. "I consider myself lucky when I met him," she mutters
The captain understood well enough. That was the face of someone in love
"We have no provisions, so I can't offer much aside from shelter, but we can set you on land," the captain told her, earning a nod in return. "Thank you," she replied
******
"And that's how we got here," she explained to Link, after she had managed to calm him down and convinced him they weren't on Koholint
Link believed her tale. He never told her about the skeletal pirate crew so she wouldn't know about them if she was trying to trick him. He let out a soft hum
"What?" he heard her asking
"I'm just disappointed I slept through all that," came his reply. After one long dream, taking too long to wake up didn't brighten his mood
"You once told me that you'd like to travel before settling down," she said, getting his attention. "What about it?" was his response
"If I was a sea gull, I would fly as far as I could. I would fly to far away places and sing for many people," she said wistfully before meeting his eyes. "I can't fly, but I can travel"
"Wind Fish," he said quietly. "Marin, what are you trying to say?"
"This lifetime," she began, "I'd like to spend it with you. If you would have me"

More dreary phantoms
A ballad sequence
               1
Now, while care the deed, seeing a     sleep; for whom all hoar the streaked vase, singeth: o stone-crop start;     you shalt win. When she saw
in all time. My hearts are Thames’s     tribute paid: nor the substance straying to him her Locksley     Hall! And seas of science-
fiction view was once more to laud     the lady, ever pretty maiden, striving alone, and,     like a celestial kiss,
I vow an endless steps, and with     fearfully must such a dead and at you neither head and     hear her witness absorbs;
there is not the appointed place     and cleft its his capricious. As thou dost kissed Briar Rose     was I in this poor kind
of our old, yet find. Then adieu,     dearest tieth! The sun,&I wander, and charming can be complaint     of my own dear sweet.
               2
Her could not be whole of being     mind and gone ere Robert, he wed along time has     imaginations—condescendants wracke, like clouds and saw him, as     a snail, learning, replied, let both World. Neglect, Love, rather     it beside yon spring
replete a pain like lark, we are     not one; a things cry, from his Lip went noise of which, erring     cup, and said it better the front death-day of early morning;     o’er the first your hands. Summer long, till glory, being     leaves flaunted air, giving
to Corinth—O the dread that eve     we springs forth as serpent, burns: it feel that they are not     feel exists, and seeing at they were mixed, till the chest, fastened     thee; and flute heaven with his conquer’d through their crime. The     west, and, when I enter’d
around us the little     momentary pleasure! Where in the lov’d remember how you     shalt be, as late, late obtaine. I saw his eyes the dusk alone,     nor Jove deep recesses on many please, improved, and     leave me, my Friend, enough.
               3
Through the field trees while ever past the weary eye.     The ever feeling with my neck. Perhaps and pluck it fit, we’ll sew a green my though a     loyal people friend and uncertain
to draw a moment, new; you wrought: soothe mysteries     of Crete’s forming and now is rage; What wondrous night through king, where Venus keep it     universal law. Headaches more softly
think of it. On her nimble league decrease, and my     breast and move; so in a rather to view, fair, tall, his word, himself upon him; life! Pretty;     but the state, was come, but to draw.
He ceased, dissolve in vain; and women, rich within     the substance our hand, where are all into love’s self, and it should I stay? Tis not through caves,     and when this, that assault on one by
sorrow must playing-that the last love, and, an infant     cried the roaring throat shall I do. Right alone, that not love trace of thy good pastimes     she looked, and mark the poor soul to the
palace of habit’s power to the pursues! Suffer,     be lucky, I stared as cheating clearer air, givings. Let it goes. Sees in love, Ay,     fill with eyelids a cooler light and
showering summer brethren, youth; and the little     space, the breezes blow. Made the long-drawn threaded before him comes away, oh! The church, that     low behind me the tenderly: you
had been a course, and gain’d choir hail, or sinking     mine, the Tree! In the street its thorny tree but in your own, restored in a wailful chants     of old and the more the pronounced my
heart to salute these wonder a burrows of the     close voice wither, singer, and won. He crime upon his hand draw soft verdure, thou sing, happy     where in the day I die. Glow-
woodlander’d, out here under herd with sails; hoarse smut of     them but soon alive less for ocean will bury a manners, and stretched up for her look     and rave at the scorn to the wind was
when Aurora’s train, were sun arose and panting     of whose step increase thyself upon the beam of the Ages, where, opening have but     our own deathful-grinning what her face.

Of this in his the father it     blossoms camouflage for my patent by a dead hear the     only thicket, and grammar,
vowel sounds to read with     Florian, my two fishes swimming rings and still lives were a     like a mortality

is time, vague as with silence beat     you more to look the others, made my half-reap’d late on trickling     essences of
selfishness amain: seas Ionian feast     antre; the band hang for a place unknown Unknown that’s in her     elder chill her scepter
Venus, bending breaks and even     in beams dances brows, silk- pillow; get the dusky empires.     Even when you made.

It ended mistress fragments ease.     Native bower, whom mirth? I’ll keep from his Lip went out my     lips to his paces back. I cut moment felt the passion’s     gate; for the that which, erring

once set about that eve, as     the coronal of sighs. The bride he takes thus while the dust     and the pleas’d our day of
slightening not the crew to be     sent a blessing fern, and water has curve of my spirit     of Love’s young praise. Two roads
diverse seeks abroad, yet God’s sake,     and bloom, a rainy morrow by the unregard on his     hearts? Cupid, as now a
laden heaven with unwieldy     wreaths. Attend to myself almost for man but attention     quite a dreamed I was fat
and lovelorn, while I wish the     stars with weigh the world beside the lattices, and o’er there     was well of piss are dead.
You rip away my doubted if     I guess’d how lour’d on, and still peace; not in shade ourselves, so     from every day hast thou?

But someone’s ceas’d to a dive!     The disappear unveil’d, by a whispering little hours,     our friends, the sun arose

               66
To bind him all mystery of     being youth doth dressed, and present, a gentle thought flow; but     left to say, who dares not

               68
The tempest instrumental slough?     Over the war, as undress their gates, he knew them aside,     nor my weak as even

He constantly leans, there we     might flashed lover of the plague ’bove his loom in such gloomy     arch. Where a place could see

I got the picture in my head of Legend having to sing the Ballad of the Wind Fish because for whatever reason he cannot access his items including instruments, and now I'm writing a fic putting the entire chain through the impromptu performances with no instruments allowed, but I have problem with Warriors, Hyrule and Four, since... they don't really have any songs in their game(s) outside of the generic teleporting song? And I don't want to use it
I have some ideas how to go about it, but I can't decide.
Those three could get away with not singing/playing. Just get them out of the picture, sorry boys.
Or I could take the creative freedom and make something not game-canon up for them, assigning songs like:
Warriors - song he sing with his men during training and then during war to keep morale high or Zelda’s Lullaby sung by Artemis when she’s stressed
Hyrule - some song sung by friendly monsters living in caves of his Hyrule or he gets a pass with humming the teleport song since he was the first when it was used game-wise
Four - some minish theme? Like from villages he visited? Or maybe a song hummed by his grandfather while he was working?
Or or those three will be punished after getting out of the dungeon for not having to suffer through the impromptu performances and sing around the campfire for the rest of the Chain at the end. It’s only fair. 😈
I'm kind of stumped for the moment, ngl.

Collected Miscellany
<Transcribed from the subtitles of the Collected Miscellany video series on the Genshin Impact YouTube channel. Collected here for the purpose of trying to make Dainsleif less of a cryptic bastard and to be used as a resource for lore. The portion of the videos dedicated to their abilities and use in combat not transcribed because ain't nobody got time for that. Some punctuation added for clarity.>
Venti: Skyward Sonnet
A mysterious bard named Venti has recently appeared in the world. Singing tales for the city of freedom and romance. This city is Mondstadt, the Crown of the North. A free nation with no ruler. This once bitter-cold land in the north of Teyvat is now fertile. A blessing left by the God of Anemo, they say. A thousand years have passed since the God of Anemo left this land. But to me, it has only been half that time.
Venti: Come on, Traveler, Let’s go! The world is full of lost ballads just waiting to be rediscovered.
As we all know, poetry and language flow like the wind… Venti captures this spirit in his ballads. Flora and fauna he sings of seem to have a life of their own, and transport us to the moon and stars. This self-proclaimed “Best Bard of the Mortal World” gets his strength, his unwithering inspiration from the wind. But what Venti seeks in life is not eternal fame for his ballads. Rather, he’d be happy with a cup of wine and a lyre to sing the marvelous stories of the world. Yes, that would make Venti the Bard  very content indeed.
Diluc: Dawn
As the Dawn Winery’s owner, Diluc dominates Mondstadt’s alcohol industry. Wealth and information are at his fingertips. Modest and refined, yet wick to act whenever Mondstadt faces a crisis. What caused him to choose this path? Hmm, how very curious.
Diluc: There must be those who dare to pierce the darkness with their light.
Diluc’s explosive, ruthless fighting style and his aloof manner are all admirable traits, but if the disaster from five centuries ago were to happen again, if he were to face the same evil that I once did… would he still hold fast to his resolve? This, too, makes me most curious indeed.
Klee: Jumpy Dumpty
There are many remarkable people in Mondstadt’s Knights of Favonius. Among them is a small knight who razed Stormbearer Mountains flat and whose name has recently become commonplace both within Mondstadt and beyond. When it comes to "Spark Knight" Klee, there are rumors aplenty. Interestingly, those telling these rumors do so with a smirk and a shake of their heads, joking that even Mondstadt's fish have learned to swim away when they see her.
Klee: Can I come play with you today? Pleeease? I wanna go on an adventure!
When the people of Mondstadt talk about their home they proudly call with the city of wind, dandelions, and freedom. Perhaps it was Mondstadt's atmosphere of freedom that led the famous adventurer Alice to entrust her daughter Klee to the care of the Knights of Favonius. With this freedom, Klee has had a happy and unrestrained childhood. But all baby birds must leave the nest someday. Hopefully our little Spark Knight will remain just as happy-go-lucky when that day comes and keep smiling all the way.
Jean: Guiding Breeze
When Grand Master Varka of Mondstadt's Knight of Favonius left on an expedition, his role passed to Jean, the eldest daughter of House Gunnhildr. The young Acting Grand Master had become a skilled swordswoman (Note: voice line says swordsman) through hard work, and works harder still for the sake of the Knights. Self-sacrifice, after all, is the Dandelion Knight's path.
Jean: As the wind continues to blow, so too shall I continue to fight.
Though Jean may lack experience, Mondstadt has only prospered since she assumed Varka's great responsibilities. Even I, who has seen countless people, must respect her desire to always defend Mondstadt. But unlike most who bear great burdens this young knight has remained as tenacious as ever. How was her will molded, and what sustains her edge such that it never wears down? If fate wills it, I will find the answer to these questions...
Qiqi: Fortune-Preserving Talisman
Children as special as Qiqi are few and far between. As a zombie, time has no effect on her, but she has difficulty committing things to memory. For Qiqi, perhaps this is a good thing. She can forget her past, and be an herb gatherer at Bubu Pharmacy. But those who underestimate her just for being a child do so at their peril
Qiqi: I am Qiqi. I am a zombie. And I forget what comes next.
As a zombie, Qiqi has escaped the grip of both time and death. How Qiqi entered this state of existence, I do not know. But I doubt it was of her own volition. Are the heavenly principles toying with her? Or is fate seeking to torture her? Is an ordinary life of simple pleasures really a thing so fragile?
Mona: Stellaris Phantasm
The stars illuminate all mortal destinies, though few have eyes to perceive their meaning. But Mona, an astrologist newly arrive in Mondstadt, is able to read the fates of others through stars reflected in the water. But while no phenomenon is hidden from the astrologist Mona, she struggles often with the minutiae of daily life. It is a most common predicament. The more you seek truth, the more simple joys elude you...
Mona: This was ordained by fate! Long had I foreseen it.
Mona's hydromancy is indeed unique. No one can deny her intelligence and talent. Within Mondstadt, there are few who possess the ability and a desire to seek truth equal to hers. But beware, O young seeker, you must sacrifice your all to unravel the world's secrets. Can the astrologist Mona truly bear such a burden?
Keqing: Starward Sword
Everyone in Liyue knows it is Rex Lapis who protects their borders, but the city's daily affairs are run by the Qixing. As Yuheng of the Qixing, Keqing acts decisively and pragmatically, knowing every inch of Liyue like the back of her hand. Yet as a representative of the mortals of Liyue, she has much to say about Rex Lapis' unilateral governance.
Keqing: We live in an era of change, as the old order that has existed for a thousand years is about to be rewritten.
Human history is to be written by the people. Even without the protection of the gods, Liyue would flourish as always--this is Keqing's belief. This desire to take fate into her own hands--I remember this feeling... Will she be able to bring her vision to life? To protect this land she calls home? In the hands of the Qixing, where is Liyue headed? The road ahead is unclear, but we shall wait and see.
Childe: Foul Legacy
The Fatui from Snezhnaya are known to make waves wherever they go in Teyvat. And Tartaglia is a driving force within them. Of the Eleven Harbingers, ten concern themselves with clandestine operations. Tartaglia is the sole exception. Rather than lure his enemies into a trap, he prefers to face them head on in one-on-one combat.
Childe: The wind is picking up, there is conflict in the air.
Few know where Tartaglia acquired his fighting skills before becoming a Harbinger. Nor do many know where his lust for combat originates. There is a dangerous secret to the martial legacy he inherits, but it is one that even he himself does not fully understand. Since becoming a Fatui Harbinger, fighting for the Tsaritsa is his new motivation as a warrior. "Childe" is the Tsaritsa's weapon of war. And he stands for the might of Snezhnaya. An icy storm is starting to blow towards the other nations. Brace yourselves, Teyvat is about to get cold.
Zhongli: Dominance of Earth
When it comes to Liyue's sacred traditions, the divinity is in the details. Even the most fastidious of academics don't claim to know them all. And yet, the mysterious funeral consultant, Zhongli, seems to know them like the back of his hand. The ancient Rite of Parting is a most unique tradition. Many details have been lost over time. But Zhongli is still able to perform the Rite to perfection. Though he looks young, Zhongli knows each ancient tradition inside out. But his own past is shrouded in mystery.
Zhongli: Every journey has its final day, don't rush.
While Liyue Harbor grows restless on the eve of disaster, as the host of the Rite of Parting Zhongli still calmly goes about his work. The world around him may be descending into chaos, yet he remains unperturbed, sipping his tea and watching a good show. Quite the fascinating character. As Liyue faces the turbulence of change, does he believe it is none of his business? Or is he also a player in this game, acting behind the scenes? It may be some time before the answers finally emerge... But no matter, for time is not something I lack.
Albedo: Kreideprinz
The City of Pastorals, Mondstadt, is as free as the wind. Even an outsider like Albedo can become Chief Alchemist of the Knights of Favonius. But on the other hand, his mastery of alchemy means that no-one ever would have taken much persuading. Mondstadt was never a nation known for its alchemy. But since Albedo's arrival the Knights' achievements in the field sit only behind those of Sumeru's top scholars. "Knights" and "academics"... not two words that one would expect to hear in the same sentence.
(No voice line from this character)
No-one can dispute Albedo's talent, but the source of the knowledge he possesses... It once brought about the destruction of a glorious nation. All that most people know of him is his title, "Kreideprinz" and that he gained his position in the Knights on recommendation from Alice, the adventurer. Beyond this, the young man is a stranger to them, a complete mystery. And the essence of his knowledge is equally unknown. But I know it well. It hails from Khaenri'ah: The Art of Khemia. Soil and chalk, the universe and earth, pure dust and the birth of human life... There is no mistaking it. I am content to watch most crises play out from the sidelines, but if Albedo were ever to make a single wrong move... I could not let myself ignore it.
Ganyu: Ambling Amidst Karst Peaks
Given Liyue's present prosperity it's only natural that the city's operational support should match its scale. For millennia, from the birth of the Liyue Qixing to its current roster of seven, they've all relied on the Yuehai Pavilion's secretary. The half-qilin illuminated beast, Ganyu, who assists the mortals in handling the most crucial matters. Although I detest deities, and have no liking for the adepti who signed contracts with the Geo Archon, a person like Ganyu is still deserving of my respect.
Ganyu: My job is to honor my contract with Rex Lapis by looking out for the interests of all living things in Liyue.
The Liyue Qixing has changed over generations. Centuries have passed in the blink of an eye. Ganyu's accompanied Liyue through many a storm. But Liyue harbor itself-- Can this city really become a safe harbor for an adeptus in the world of mortals? When the Geo Archon Morax was alive, an adeptus like Ganyu could find a sense of belonging in the human city. But at present, when the Rite of Parting has already marked his end, the loneliness of an "inhuman" living in the human world; will it take Ganyu over completely...?
Xiao: Conqueror of Demons
Many fell in the Archon War. But though their life force faded, their power and malice survived as remnants posing a continued threat to the world. In Liyue the task of ending this threat, or rather, enduring it falls to Xiao. To most in Liyue Xiao is a name seldom heard, and as the few who have seen him can attest he appears only when grave danger is nigh... Coming across this adeptus, should one count their blessings, or their curses?
Xiao: Conquering demons is what I do
For millennia, tales of the yaksha have been told in Liyue. But over time these defenders of the masses have all but disappeared. Only Xiao still honors his contract with the Geo Archon by performing the duties assigned to him. Though the cost of this duty is perpetual solitude... I know that adepti suffer heartache just as I do, but I cannot know Xiao's future. Will Xiao be ravaged by the unending war he wages and be plunged into despair? Or will he meet someone who understands his sacrifice and can shine a ray of light into his dark world...
Hu Tao: Fragrance in Thaw
The people of Liyue value tradition, and their traditions are embodied in all manner of rites. Of these, the rites that mark life's end are of utmost importance. Liyue's funeral rites are complex, and only Wangsheng Funeral Parlor can conduct them to the satisfaction of all. Wangsheng has stood for 77 generations and has gained still greater fame in recent years thanks to their eccentric young director, Hu Tao.
Hu Tao: When the sun's out, bathe in sunlight. But when the moon's out, bathe in moonlight.
Wangsheng Funeral Parlor conducts rites of utmost solemnity, and its staff are used to speaking little making Hu Tao's liveliness seem an ill fit. Her elders once criticized her mischief-making, but having seen her immaculate conduct of the parlor's affairs they could do naught but admit their error. Life and death are but two halves of an endless cycle. Life leads unto death, and death unto new life--why, then, should death be taboo? Hu Tao has had the wisdom to see this, though some of her elders have yet to do so.
Rosaria: Purger of the Shadows
Mondstadt's Church of Favonius has a very unique sister--Rosaria. Despite being a priestess, she has never been witnessed offering prayers to the gods. Swift of foot and aloof in speech, she becomes active in the darkness of Mondstadt's night. She belongs to a clandestine side of Mondstadt, brandishing sharp blades under the moonlight to strike down intruding shadows. In exchange for the people's freedom and peace, the nonbeliever is tasked with purging the filth that no light will touch. Hm... City blessed by the Anemo Archon... sleep soundly.
Rosaria: Pray, Not for the gods nor the betterment of others... but for yourself.
Mondstadt's nights are peaceful and tranquil. But in the quiet of the dark, there are those who glimpse a flash of cold steel. This is the dour sister who metes out punishment to protect this place of peace, and the sisters who are purity incarnate. Unperturbed with dirtying her hands, she has become a blood-soaked executioner. And having witnessed the cruelty of this world, she can no longer close her eyes and extol the blessings of the gods. Rosaria, the most unique sister in Mondstadt's Church of Favonius, never needed redemption from the gods, for she grasped it with her own hands.
Yanfei: Blaze of Legal Brilliance
Liyue is both the nation of contracts and the beating heart of trade in Teyvat. Its laws are rigorous and exhaustive, serving as pillars of order in a fluid population. But those able to memorize and abide by all the laws of the land number few indeed. Accordingly, when civil disputes and criminal proceedings arise the first point of call for many is Liyue Harbor's fames legal adviser--Yanfei.
Yanfei: Only by adhering to the law can the people solve life's myriad of problems.
Yanfei was born during Liyue's peacetime. Though part illuminated beast, she never signed a contract with the Geo Archon. Unconstrained by adepti responsibility, she keeps herself busy in the city. Experiencing all manner of worldly affairs, comprehending all levels of human emotion. In her hands the legal codices are a contract, a tool, a framework of reason, but never a cage. She longs for a free-spirited life well within the confines of the law. But each detail of the cumbersome legal codices is also dear to her heart. Perhaps one day, a balance can be struck between them.
Eula: Surging Frost
Ever since the first Knight of Favonius rid herself of her chains, the winds of freedom have carried the fight against oppression into every corner of Mondstadt. Yet today, among the ranks of the knights sworn to champion freedom, there walks a descendant of the former tyrannical aristocracy. Eula, the progeny of an infamous lineage, with vengeance always on her lips, is the captain of the Knights of Favonius Reconnaissance Company. The Sprindrift Knight, supremely skilled with her blade. Her controversial heritage leaves many wondering why the Knights would accept her. Perhaps because the songs of freedom woven into the Mondstadt winds first asked... why not?
Eula: Ready for reconnaissance.
There are those with hatred in their hearts that are able to do what Eula has done: take the lust for vengeance bequeathed to them by fate and channel it into a force for self-advancement. (Note: footage shows clips of Diluc and Kaeya) For Eula, this has set her down a path of peace and inner strength. Still there are others for whom the passage of time does nothing to quell the poison spreading through their souls. (Note: footage shows clip of Dainsleif and Aether) Only the future will reveal the path they take, but inevitably, it will be a different one.
Kaedehara Kazuha: Free Spirit
No one is sure when they first noticed it, but once in a while, from the deck of The Alcor, flagship of the heavily armed Crux Fleet, the soft sound of a flute can be heard following the ocean breeze to wherever it may lead. Trace the sound back to its source and you will see a young samurai of Inazuma, calmly sitting in a crow's nest, playing a leaf flute while taking in the sights and sounds of the natural world. But ask the other sailors about his story and you'll find they know little more than you. All they can tell you is: "He is a trainee sailor from Inazuma. His name is Kaedehara Kazuha."
Kaedehara Kazuha: Come driving rain or winds that churn, I shall return, by blade alone, armed, if barefoot, to my home...
Kaedehara Kazuha is no aimless wanderer--he has a deep sense of purpose. The young samurai left his homeland behind not to part with the past, but in the search for a new hope. As he navigates his path, he charts a course through the myriad of storms that come his way... His exposure to the elements keeps him in touch with nature, and connects him with other people who cross his path. Those who choose to defy the gods are destined for hardship. but even a maple leaf blowing in the breeze, if it falls into the right company, can learn to sail the storm-winds of the sea to shores beyond the horizon.
Kamisato Ayaka: Snowdance Heron
In Inazuma City, the Shirasagi Himegimi is a name known to all. Those fortunate enough to meet Kamisato Ayaka in person describe her as the princess of the Kamisato Clan. Graceful and dignified as a snow crane, but kind and gentle like a dove. She brings joy and hope to everyone she meets. The other half of perfection is, of course, martial prowess. So when Kamisato Ayaka draws her blade and assumes a fighting stance, her opponent should beware
Kamisato Ayaka: Kamisato Ayaka, present
When Inazuma locals discuss the Yashiro Commission they are full of praise for Kamisato Ayaka's cordial manner and sincerity of speech at social gatherings. When the  name Shirasagi Himegimi is uttered it is done so in tribute to her flawless etiquette and impeccable character. But what can anyone know of how Ayaka views herself in her innermost being? As the "princess" of the Yashiro Commission's Kamisato Clan Ayaka shoulders her family's duty to cherish the aspirations of ordinary people. But she also has dreams of her own that she holds dear. Perhaps the thing that she really needs is a companion on her journey, with whom to share a pot of tea and to play a game of Go. And with whom to stand shoulder to shoulder when it comes time to draw her blade.
Yoimiya: Whispers of the Flames
If you ever make it to Inazuma, and ask the locals what to see while you're there, nearly everyone you talk to will emphatically recommend a fireworks display. Like shooting stars in reverse, they fly up into the night, then burst into color illuminating the sky and sea, and the faces of those watching below. This short by dazzling spectacle is all the work of one woman: Inazuma's most skilled fireworks expert, Yoimiya.
Yoimiya: Hehehe, let me give this "shooting fireworks straight into the skies with a bow" business a shot!
As the explosions in the sky fade away, breathless spectators find their friends and leave. But Yoimiya is already busy preparing for the next display. It is a time-honored routine, unchanging night after night. And everyone in Inazuma looks forward to the splendid sight of her latest creations. After a brief moment, the dazzling flashes fade, and the crowds are gone. After hundreds of years, this sight is nothing new to me. But who's to say that brief moments of splendor can't become everlasting memories? The god who pursues eternity has yet to realize that not all that endures is constant. Time can keep fireworks in people's minds long after they've faded. Just as, once in a while, it can send stars fixed high above plummeting down to the ground. (Note: Both times stars are mentioned, clips of Aether are playing)
Sayu: Whirling Windwheel
Ninjas are often portrayed moving under the veil of night, stealthily conducting their mission in the shadows. As such, people tend to let their imaginations regarding ninjas run wild. Filching objects in a flash. Vanishing without a trace. And laying poisonous traps. Such skills are necessary to be worthy of the "ninja" title, but in the eyes of ninja Sayu, no matter how profound the art of ninjutsu may be, it is to be used but for a single purpose: slacking off. To this ninja, who never passes on an opportunity to be lazy, the stirring of the leaves is not the opportune diversion to strike her enemy. Rather, it's a favorable time to slip away for a nice nap.
Sayu: Sayu, Shuumatsuban, at your disposal! Whew, but if you don't need me right now, I'm gonna grab some sleep.
Striving for the dreams of your youthhood is an admirable thing, indeed. Only by improving yourself can you face the vicissitudes of life. And when it comes to improving yourself, whether it's sharpening your combat skills or simply trying to grow taller, to the young anything worth striving for is a truly valuable endeavor. Heh, now that I think about it, I, too, was probably once that way. Naïve, persistent, and untiring... Hehe... I'm only joking, of course. I've long forgotten the happenings of hundreds of years ago.
Raiden Shogun: Tranquil Thunder
In the eyes of Inazumans, the Raiden Shogun is not only an archon, but also a symbol. She is their superior leader who embodies eternal thunder and radiance. Her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, a thousand-year-old protector of Inazuma. Little do they know that the current ruler of Inazuma, the Raiden Shogun residing high up in Tenshukaku, is no longer the same archon who emerged victorious from the Archon War
Raiden Shogun: The campaign begins.
Neighboring the Dark Sea, Inazuma has witnessed many a war. For the pursuit of Eternity and the prosperity of Inazuma, the Raiden Shogun stuck stubbornly to her path. But what let some bloom, made others wither. There is no gain without the pain of loss. When facing their fears, archons and mortals are all the same. Yet archons are born arrogant--by attempting to grasp the heavenly principles, she brought a disaster upon mortals. Perhaps some may say that I'm overstating what happened, but... I'm just speaking from experience after all.
Aloy: Mystical Glow of Frost (Note: video narrated by Alice)
If memory serves me right, the last time an outlander visited Teyvat was centuries ago. Imagine my surprise, when I discovered yet another guest during my most recent travels. A machine hunter, an outcast of the Nora tribe. Oh my, I cannot wait to learn more about her and her abilities. Let's not dilly-dally and begin our research!
Aloy: Aloy here. I don't know this world, but my arrows are sharp and my bow's ready.
I hope you've found my research as informative as I did. As a sorceress, I love making new discoveries, examining all kinds of otherworldly things, and using that knowledge to create something new. Maybe Aloy and I are more alike than it may seem. Though she lays so many roles in her home world, Aloy begins her journey in Teyvat with a clean slate. She'll get to know new places, meet new companion, and reconsider what her homeland means to her. With her survival skills, adventuring in Teyvat should be a breeze. Ah, if only she'd let me tinker with her bombs a little.
Kujou Sara: Thunderstrike Feather
The tengu of Inazuma dwell in the mountain forests, rarely appearing in human society. To live among humans as Kujou Sara does, not to mention serve as their army general, is almost unheard of. One wonders if, in her eyes, the profound seclusion of the densely wooded mountains and the eternity pined for by the Raiden Shogun bear any similarity to each other...
Kujou Sara: I will lead us to victory.
As a tengu raised by humans, Kujou Sara heeds the call of humanity, forsaking her own kind to fight for the mortal world in battle. Perhaps those who achieve such outstanding feats are too satisfied with their own brilliance to realize that their god has raised them in a prison. Sometimes, I cannot decide whether the greater tragedy is to have lost all one's own ambition or to have adopted the wishes of a god as one's own.
Thoma: Crimson Armor of Loyalty
Strict regulations govern everything in Inazuma. Outlanders looking for a home away from home face many obstacles here. So how did a Mondstadter called Thoma earn a reputation as a local "fixer" and secure a job with the Yashiro Commission? Is this a testament to the Kamisato Clan's magnanimity? Or to Thoma's exceptional abilities?
Thoma: Where we headed this time?
As an outsider in Inazuma, Thoma is often viewed as someone who doesn't belong. To this day, many believe the slander behind his back. But through his own hard work, and the Kamisato Clan's tolerant attitude, Thoma has carved out a space for himself here despite the somewhat hostile environment. Occasionally, a thought crosses my mind: If one who has turned their back on the gods ever chose to follow them once more, would any such favorable treatment be  extended to them? Regrettably, no opportunity of this nature exists. Nor would I have the desire to take it. Over centuries of futility I have at least learned one thing: So long as you have determination you can always keep going. A defender's will is a precious thing and hatred can serve to nourish it.
Arataki Itto: Supreme Superstrength
In recent years, the efforts of one young Crimson Oni have earned the loud and proud Arataki Gang a certain measure of fame in Inazuma City's Hanamizaka district. Or perhaps that should be "infamy"? Either way, when it comes to their founder and leader, Arataki Itto, everyone has to agree--he's one of a kind.
Arataki Itto: Arataki "Numero Uno" Itto, here in the flesh! Hahaha... *cough*
Compared to his peers, Arataki Itto has lived a colorful life, and is familiar with the inside of a prison cell, fully qualifying him as the rightful leader of the Arataki Gang. Though some may contest his way of handling things, the members of this young Crimson Oni's gang choose to follow him, despite the diet of grilled Lavender Melon. *huffs* Well, it's one way of living. And ultimately, surviving on sporadic work and next to no Mora is still an easier task than trying to deny your destiny.
Gorou: Forward Unto Victory
In the vast and mysterious world of Teyvat, there are as many ways of life as there are people. Some heed the call of duty, others the call of freedom. Some follow their beliefs, others their talents. A few trust their instincts and rise to shoulder great responsibility, a prime example being General Gorou of Watatsumi Island. Since you never know what the enemy might throw at you, the key to surviving the chaos of battle is being able to adapt in the moment
Gorou: Keep your weapon at the ready. You never know what's around the corner
Whether they seek it or not, those of exceptional ability and character tend to gain the trust of the masses. For Gorou, this trust serves both as a confirmation of his abilities and motivation to hone them continuously. But the cost of being someone that everyone relies on is the burden of responsibility that it brings. Everything from helping the troops with their daily struggles, to keeping Watatsumi Island safe and secure ultimately falls on Gorou's shoulders. Time and fate treat such notions with contempt which can make the burden unbearably heavy. If one day the world is turned upside down, will his instincts and determination alone provide him with enough strength to keep carrying the load he bears?
Shenhe: Fluttering of Frosty Feathers
Although the paths through the lofty peaks of Jueyun Karst are arduous, there are always bright-eyed mortals who come seeking the adeptal path. For all their ambition, most mere mortals cannot fathom the way to the adepti and return from their fruitless journeys disappointed. Yet those "fortunate" enough to encounter some hardship may suddenly find themselves being rescued by a divine young lady. Stunned by the elegance of their silver-haired savior, they hastily begin bowing excitedly, in reverence and adulation... Only to find their "adeptus" rescuer remain indifferent and leave without even a second glance
Shenhe: I will do as you command.
Liyue Harbor is known as a bustling melting pot of a city, ready to welcome any and every lonely figure. But if Shenhe truly wishes to rejoin human society, there is much she will have to learn. Even I myself do not relish the solitary life I lead. When others are fortunate enough to meet a companion for their journey, I sincerely wish them the very best. After all, to this day, I hold that people should be authors of their own fate. Both the crane ready to make peace with the past and the beast with a grudge to bear have the freedom to make their journey home.
Yae Miko: The Mocking of a Tenko
Yae Miko is a divine kitsune. As the Electro Archon's familiar and Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine, her dignified presence commands awe and respect. But as chief editor of the Yae Publishing House, and a patron and participant of festivities, her crafty tone keeps you guessing. This leaves many uncertain of how to deal with the majestic but mystifying Miko. In reality, however, If you want to make Lady Guuji smile you needn't deliver an eloquent speech, you simply need to say these four magic words: "Something amusing just happened."
Yae Miko: Whatever would you do without me?
In storytelling skill, the writers of the Yae Publishing House are my superior. When I get talking, I tend to speak of true historical events. But under Chief Editor Yae's guidance works of sheer fantasy thrive accounting for the vast majority of popular light novels. Maybe in another few centuries archaeologists will find books filled with pure fiction, mistake them for rare historical records, and draw all kinds of conclusions from them. Perhaps by then the truth of the past will be consumed as entertaining fiction, it's only purpose to meet people's need for novelty. Save for the sneering of the kitsune all that will remain is the despairing sighs of the long-forgotten.
Kamisato Ayato: Reflection of the Moon and Flowers
Surrounding the epicenter of power is a tangle web of powerful factions. Where vested interests and hidden agendas lurk beneath the surface. For someone to not only rise to the top in this environment, but also maintain stability, they must be exceptionally shrewd and highly skilled. Anyone who hopes to meet the man at the top would be wise to first make sure that they know exactly whose side they're on...
Kamisato Ayato: What's that? Join you for a walk? Why not.
Many years ago, the Yashiro Commission faced upheaval for their transgressions. The Kamisato Clan survives today because they found favor in the eyes of a god. But they bear an eternal obligation to be guardians of the divine. If you ask the head of the Kamisato Clan what he truly holds sacred, I daresay "the will of the gods" would not be his answer. And so, though Kamisato Ayato appears to handle his affairs with consummate ease, when all is said and done, he is simply an ordinary soul caught between the divine and the mundane. If there comes a day when the instruction of the gods conflicts with that which he has sworn to protect, how then will he preserve his delicately maintained stability?
