Sollux Captor Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Midna looked over as her and Link went into the cellar. Diggs was upset and it was showing in the way he was fighting. Two of the bulbs in the vessel were already filled, and a third bug was trapped in the darker wolf's jaws before he bit it right in half, as it went up in a puff of smoke, before a third light drop was released, and filled up a third. "Pup, you okay?" Diggs looked over at her and Link, his blue eyes seeming a mix of emotions. Sadness. Determination. A tad of anger. "I'll feel better when we get rid of the twilight in this area and save the kids..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Link walked over to the other, affectionately nuzzling him. "I promise things will get better." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Diggs nuzzled against Link, before continuing through the cellar. They came to a room that had a way they could get out above, scaffholdings around them. "Those should be useful." Midna gave off her cute little giggle, as she helped lead the two wolves out of the cellar, and back outside where more of the insects awaited them.

Shadow Fire Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Back outside, Link wandered around town, shivering at the eerie creatures that were around. "This is horrible..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 "Well, monsters are still attacking the village, even without those Messengers around... would it be easier to split up?" Diggs looked over at Link. Midna leaned against Link's ears... she saw the look in his eyes. He wanted to find the bugs as soon as possible.

Shadow Fire Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Link also saw the look in his eyes, ears drooping, before nodding. "If that's what you think is best. I'll search around the village." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Diggs nodded, as he gently licked the other's face. "Thank you... I'll be back as soon as I can." Midna sighed, as Link bounded off towards the houses, while the older wolf headed off towards Death Mountain, the homes of the Gorons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 While Diggs was gone, Link ran around the village in search for more bugs. He managed to destroy a fair few, watching as the light vanished, instantly transported into the vessel which Diggs had taken with him. Link finally made it to a house on top of the hill. Watching as three insects burrowed inside, he raced for the house, and dug in himself. A strange smell filled his nostrils as he went inside. A stick was on fire nearby, and upon noticing the insects hiding in the fireplace, he picked the stick up in his teeth, and set the fireplace alight. Unfortunately, the bugs were also set alight, and raced out in panic, causing a lot of explosions within the house. Bomb powder?! The house was quickly set on fire.

Sollux Captor Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 "Huh! What did you do?! Sorry, but as romantic as this is, I'm not staying in here with you! I'm getting out!" Midna hissed a bit, before she dove into the floor as a shadow, before disappearing. ---- Diggs had managed to collect a few more tears of light, including the ones that had flown to him that obviously came from Link in the village, as his tail frizzed up... Messengers... four of them. "Oh god... I've never fought these guys by myself before... I dun know if I should... should I get Link...?" He stood there, before shaking his head... no, he picked for them to split up, he could handle this by himself. He nodded gently to himself before he leapt off and raced towards them, a glow of red energy seeming to surround him, a challenging howl seeming to escape him as he did.

Shadow Fire Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Back inside the burning house, Link was panicked. Giving loud screams of terror, he searched for a way out. Finally, he'd found the hole he'd dug in under, managing to dig out, just in time as the entire house exploded, taking the bugs with it. Unfortunately, Link was quite close to the blast, and was propelled several meters, landing on the ground roughly, with a loud yelp. Not like this... it can't be... like this... Slowly, the wolf stood, but found he couldn't walk properly. Massive burns covered his entire left side, and he was pretty sure he'd broken a few bones. "I've become useless..."

Sollux Captor Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Midna appeared by Link's side, knowing that sitting on top of him would be a bad idea with how bad he was hurt, as the three drops of light drifted into the air, but not before some of their light surrounded Link, as some of his injuries seemed to heal up a bit. "Well, that's not good at all, wolf boy... stay still... I can heal you a little better in the twilight than in the light." Midna set her hands on the wolf, allowing a glow to surround him... maybe she couldn't heal him completely, but it would fix his bones enough so he wasn't in pain. ---- Diggs was left standing there in shock as he watched as the Messengers exploded before the twilight particles rushed up towards the sky... he defeated them by himself? How...? He needed an energy field that only a Twilit could create, right...? He looked at his vessel pea pod... he only needed two left... he rushed forward, before jumping at the wall, biting another bug in half as another light tear was absorbed.

Shadow Fire Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Link was healed up enough to be able to limp towards wherever he needed to go, and while his legs weren't in too much pain, nothing could really be done about the burns. Giving a whimper, he slowly began to head back to the spirit's spring. Diggs... I hope you're not hurt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Diggs trailed his paws through a small stream in the midst of the mountain, as he saw a bunch of small dark creatures, as he growled, and slashed at them, whipping his tail at them, as they seemed to implode, as the last tear of light was released, as he seemed glad to see that. The light seemed to surround the area, before the two wolves were transported back to Eldin's spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Link was back in human form although his burns were still on his body. Slowly, he felt his strength return to him as the light spirit began to reform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 "Link...!" Diggs went over, making sure that his love was alright. The light spirit, known as Eldin, appeared once more, it's wings unfolded and looked at the two boys. "My name is Eldin. I am one of the light spirits of Hyrule. I am the spirit that guards these lands. O great hero chosen by the gods...The dark power you seek lies in the sacred grounds of the proud mountain dwellers. But already those grounds have been defiled, draped in shadow and seeded with evil. You must go to those sacred grounds and cleanse them." It soon began to fade away, as it drapped its wings over itself before vanishing from sight. Diggs frowned, as the older male helped the blonde out of the water.

Shadow Fire Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Link slowly stood, his eyes closed as he felt a strange energy come over him. Before he knew it, his burns were starting to heal at an astonishing rate. Keeping his eyes closed, he was able to hear the spirits of the planet chant their soothing words of healing to him. A few moments later, he was perfectly healed. "The springs..." he mumbled. "They have magical properties... healing powers." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 "You're okay now...? Oh thank god..." Diggs held the other tightly, obviously shaking a bit from coming back through the adventure just fine only to find that Link had gotten hurt... The door to the shelter opened, as the kids looked outside, noticing everything was normal again... and Link was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Link clung back, his face buried in the other boy's neck, suddenly glancing over as he heard voices. The kids had rushed outside.

Sollux Captor Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 "Ha ha ha! See, Beth?! I TOLD you Link would save us!" Talo said with a grin. Malo simply rolled his eyes, standing there. Beth seemed to freeze as she noticed Diggs standing there beside Link. The chestnut haired boy blinked, looking a bit concerned. "Beth? What's wrong?" He asked, reaching for her. "KYAAA! Stay away!" She screeched, before hiding behind Link, along with the other kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Link narrowed his eyes at Beth, before casting a worried glance back to Diggs. Without facing the girl, he spoke up. "And what..." he growled out. "...was that about, Beth?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 "Diggs was talking to the Bulbins in the forest before we woke up in that horrible place...! Ilia always said there was something weird about him... he was helping them! It's his fault all this happened!" Beth screeched, shaking in fear. Malo and Talo were keeping their distance, the only one who wasn't freaking out was Colin. Diggs was shaking... she... she thought he... helped them capture them? "B... But I... I wasn't..." For the first in a long time, tears were slipping down his face... he backed away... the ones he fought so hard for... they were scared of him... didn't want him anywhere near him. He turned on his heel, and ran away in the direction of Death Mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Link lowered his glance to the ground, his teeth clenching tightly. His breathing becoming noticably ragged, he began shaking. "I'm going to find him and bring him back..." he snarled, before looking up, and staring at Beth, Talo and Malo, eyes filled with rage. "...and you are going to apologise... Diggs would never betray you... he risked his life to try and help you... and you thank him like this? Disgusting." Eyes narrowed even more, he gave a determined growl and raced off after Diggs, leaving the kids behind in shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Beth was shaking a bit more now, not only was that the first time Link ever talked in front of them... he was beyond angry. Colin squeezed his hands together... hopefully Link would be able to calm Diggs down... the way he was crying, he looked like he had been completely broken... and Diggs wasn't one that cried over everything... unlike Ilia. ---- Diggs knelt in front of the cliffside that was by the ladder that would lead up to where the Goron's tribe resided. His fingers were pressed against the dirt, his forehead resting there as he let himself cry... He just wanted to protect the kids... he was around when Beth was born... he helped her take her first steps... saw the toothless grin she had when Sera brought home her baby kitty... to see and hear Beth just moments ago... maybe it was just like the thief once said... like Ilia said... "I'm a freak..." He whispered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Link had found Diggs, moving up behind him. Kneeling down, he wrapped his arms around the other from behind. "No..." he said firmly. "You're not. She was out of line. I won't stand there and let her insult you like that. I don't care if she hates me for it, but I'll make her apologise." Pulling the other boy closer to him, the blond pressed a gentle kiss to Diggs' neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 The male's ears were twitching a bit, as he looked behind him, staring at the blonde's soft eyes, though his looked a bit red and bubbled up with shed and fresh tears... "Link... I... I'm... I'm sorry..." He turned himself around enough as he brought his head to rest against the other's lap, his arms wrapped tightly around his waist, as his sobs were muffled. "I... I did talk to the Bulbins when they had the kids... I...I was trying to... I just..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
