Shadow Fire Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Link just shook his head, placing a hand in the older boy's hair. "I don't know all the details..." he said softly. "But I know this. You would never do anything to bring harm to those children. Just because you can talk to them, doesn't make you bad." Gently giving a soft pat to his love's head, he gently nuzzled the other boy. "C'mon..." he continued. "Let's go back. I'm sure they'll understand... and if not, I'll make them."

Sollux Captor Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Diggs allowed himself to be dragged to his feet, his attack power feeling like it had been cut... he was probably functioning on 15% after that incident. He gently squeezed the other's hand as he followed beside him, his eyes looking tired from crying...he still had tears in his eyes, but they weren't as bad now. "...I'm sorry..."

Shadow Fire Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Link shook his head again, as they went back down to Kakariko Village. "Don't apologise..." he murmured. "You did nothing wrong." Back in the village, Link's eyes narrowed again as he saw the children, still standing around. He didn't look at Colin with his icy stare. After all, the kid idolised him, and was even supportive. Bringing Diggs over, he scowled at Beth. "Well?" he growled out. "I believe you have something to say?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Beth whimpered, before she looked up at the older of the two boys, seeing his face... She suddenly bowed, shaking a bit. "I-I'm sorry...!" Diggs watched her, as she was shivering a little, tears falling onto the dusty ground. Was she scared? "I didn't want to believe it was true... y-you can hit me if you want... I... I didn't know what to think... and everything Ilia would scream at me about you... I let it get the better of me... I'm sorry, Big Brother..." His eyes widened... Big Brother... she hadn't called him that in so long... Big Brother... Big Brother, go swimming with me...! Big Brother Diggs...! He rubbed the tears away from his eyes, and knelt down, wrapping Beth tightly into his arms. "It's okay, Beth... please don't cry... I understand... I'm sorry..."

Shadow Fire Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Link's expression softened, a guilty look replacing his once angered look. Lowering his glance to the ground, he turned away. "Beth..." he muttered. "I'm... sorry I was so hard on you. But understand... Diggs... is special to me. He's more than just my best friend. He's... my soul mate."

Sollux Captor Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Diggs looked over at Link, a soft hint of blush on his cheeks, before a smile appeared on his face... It was kind of cute... Link was talking to others now... and though he was looking away, he admitted that he and him were lovers. "What's a soul mate?" Talo asked softly. "...A boyfriend or girlfriend." Malo rolled his eyes. "Excuse me, are you two the boys these kids were speaking of?" Diggs looked up as he saw the man in shaman like clothing that he heard was called Renado back when they were spirits. He remembered hearing that some Shamans can understand animals, and even had close relationships with the Zora and Gorons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sollux Captor Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 "We are well met. I am Renado, the shaman of this town. And this is..." Barnes lifted his mask, as if waiting for himself to be introduced next. "This is my daughter, Luda." He gestured to the young girl instead. Diggs picked himself up, carrying Beth in his arms.

Shadow Fire Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Link nodded, moving closer to Diggs. He was still a little uncomfortable meeting new people. "Nice to meet you..." he said softly. "You took care of the kids?" Colin looked up at Link, his eyes sparkling up at his idol. "The beasts took us and left us to die..." he said. "...but Mr. Renado found us."

Shadow Fire Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Colin's smile faded, glancing down a bit. "Yeah, I..." he mumbled softly. "We don't remember much.

Sollux Captor Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 "...A nightmare." Malo mumbled sadly. Diggs frowned a little... waking up in the Twilight scared him as well... he could only imagine how frightening it was for the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 "Yeah!" the smaller blond explained. "It was like a terrible dream and we couldn't wake up..." Link knelt downand rested a hand on the smaller boy's shoulder. "It was a nightmare for me too..." he said softly. "I'm just glad that you're all safe."

Sollux Captor Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 "Mmm... Nightmares are everywhere these days, it seems. This village has certainly seen its share of recent hardships..." Renado looked over in the direction of the mountains. "The dark beasts attacked, but even worse was the sudden and inexplicable change in the mountain-dwelling Goron tribe. They had long been our friends, but suddenly treated us as foes. Even now they refuse to permit us entry into their mines. It strains the limits of belief... To think that such a gentle and proud tribe could change so suddenly... It makes me wonder if something in those mines is the cause of this change... In any case, you must take these children and flee this village before more nightmares descend. I, of course, cannot leave my village in such a time. There is no telling what may happen to us here......But it is my job to try to coax the Gorons back from their recent change of heart." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sollux Captor Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Diggs blinked, before hurrying over and grabbed the other's wrist. "Link, hang on a minute... you've heard of Gorons, right?

Sollux Captor Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Diggs blinked, still keeping a grip on him. He took a hold of his arm, and pulled him into one of the buildings, making the group they had left behind to stare in confusion. "Link, just listen for a minute without the stubbornness. I know what I'm doing... try and go back to Ordon and talk to Bo. He has the trust of the Gorons cause he bested them in a test of strength a couple years back... he'll show you how to do it...

Shadow Fire Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Closing his eyes for a moment, the blond nodded, before opening them again. "Alright..." he said softly.

Sollux Captor Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 "I'll go with you if you wish... I don't want you to get hurt again like in the Temple..." The older gently trailed his fingers through the other's hair, before leaning close and softly kissed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Link kissed back, smiling slightly. It's going to be a long... Link pulled back quickly, hearing a noise. A galloping sound was approaching. Suddenly, he heard a familiar whinny. Epona! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Diggs jumped as Link pulled from his arms at the sound of a horse whinny. He seemed a bit sad... sure, he was happy... Link finally told him that he loved him, and they would fight anything to protect each other... everytime he was in the Twilight, he hated it, but Link would be clingy and wanting to mate with him... here, things kept getting in the way... It would almost be better if... No, he made himself stop thinking like that. He hurried after Link to see if he could help calm Epona down.

Shadow Fire Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Epona came racing into the village, two Bulblins falling off her back and exploding into smoke. The horse raced towards Link, the blond managing to dodge in time. The horse turned around, eyes wide with fear. She's panicking. I'd better calm her before she hurts herself. Link ran for the horse, jumping on her back. In panic, she reared and began racing all over. Thinking quickly, Link managed to wrangle her, and calm down the distressed creature. Breathing a sigh of relief, he smiled over at Diggs, his eyes gleaming This excitement. Just like I feel in the twilight. Diggs... just you wait until I get you back home. Your turn awaits...

Sollux Captor Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Diggs hurried over and gently pet the fuzzy mare. "Shh... it's alright now, Epona, those things won't hurt you anymore..." Epona gently nudged him with her head, resting her eyes "I'm so glad to see you both again... I was so scared when those things were trying to ride me and hit me if I didn't do as they said..."

Shadow Fire Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Link gently pet the horse's sides, chuckling as she gave a happy snort. "I know, I know..." he said assuringly. "I need to ask a favour of you. Diggs and I need to get back home. Do you think you could help us in our quest?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
