Weaver pulled the boots on. “Boots are so Wierd.” He took the apple and started eating it, “Land food is so strange, how do you tolerate this stuff?” He asked mid bite.

Breaker laughed. "Probably not the most comfortable for you, either," he commented on the boots remark. "I guess it's just what we're used to? Wytrlan food would probably taste weird to someone from land, too."

“Yeah, I could kill for a crab meat wrapped in kelp. Not this red circle thing.”

(He knows what an apple is, he just wants to diss it)

"Pfft. Not sure about the kelp, but crab does sound pretty good right about now," Breaker agreed. "Ooh, or cake…" He smiled, remembering all the times that Zelda would meet him and Ganondorf in Castle Town with stolen pastries she'd swiped from the castle kitchens. "Think you can bake, Cal?"

"No, not with a pot," Cal replied. Breaker wasn't sure if he was being blunt as a joke or not, to be honest. "I should have some seafood, though. I don't have kelp, but I can use what I do have to make a crab dish once we set up camp. Once you think you're ready, we can start moving again."

Breaker leaned back on his arms and gave Cal a look. "You're antsy today, huh? What's wrong?"

"Just anxious. I don't like the idea of being out in the open at night, we'd be easy targets for monsters."

Weaver ignored the upcoming argument, and just focused of the thoughts of fish in his head.

Until he realized the sun was setting, “Uh hey guys? It may be later than we thought it was.”

(Good night)

(Good night, and good morning when you read this!)

Both Breaker and Cal's heads turned to the west. "Oh, shit!" the former exclaimed, jumping up.

"We need to move, now. If you're going to have trouble walking, I can carry you," Cal offered. His expression had changed; it looked like he was already in whatever battle he was anticipating. Breaker frowned. He wouldn't say he was intimidated by his ancestor(?), but he wasn't exactly the life of the party when he thought a battle was looming. Regardless, he drew his sword. Best to have that ready, should something go bump in the night,

"Hell no, I'm not being carried." Weaver picked up his sword from the ground. "We start running in three?"

"Sounds good to me," Breaker replied. Cal nodded.

"One, two, three!" he counted off, then the group started on their way towards the plateau.

"Last one there's a rotten egg!" Breaker shouted, racing forward. From the way Cal sighed, he could guess that the other hero was annoyed. Ah, well, they'd deal with that after he won. The teen made sure to keep an eye on his companions, as well. He couldn't be too focused on winning and risk someone getting hurt. He especially made sure to check on Weaver; the kid would argue 'till he was blue in the face that he'd be fine on his own, but Breaker still worried about him. Weaver was a lot younger than he was when he set out to save his friend, and if a couple of enemies got him alone and something were to happen to him, Breaker would never forgive himself.

As they came closer to the plateau, something became visible that they hadn't been able to see. Roads! Dirt paths wound their ways through the plain. Breaker even noticed that one of them seemed to go in the direction of the plateau from before. He slowed his pace down a bit in order to catch his breath and checked back on the others. Cal had once again proven that he had more stamina than Breaker; he was definitely exerting himself, but he didn't appear to be panting as heavily as the younger hero was.

(Tried to make cursed picrews of our boys haha, I like this one but it didn't really have the things I needed. Cal's scar is what bugs me the most tbh :/ order is Weaver, Breaker, Cal)

Weaver caught up with Breaker and Weaver on the path, trying to show how heavily he was panting, he had never run this fast on land before. but monsters in this time period were probably more dangerous due to being on land more.

he tripped over his boots and fell, "FUCK!!" He screamed clutching the side clutching the side of his face staring at the cluster of scales on the ground.

Both of the older heroes skidded to a stop and immediately started running to aid Weaver. "Shit! Weaver, are you okay?" Breaker asked. Then he saw something bony shoot out of the ground a few yards away from where Weaver fell. "Fucking hell… now is not the time!" he shouted, rushing over to the stal and making quick work of it. More were un-burying themselves nearby; it looked like there were four more preparing to attack the group.

"Both of you, start running," Cal ordered, retrieving his bow from where it rested on his back. He nocked an arrow and aimed it at one of the stal monsters' skulls. "I'll be right behind you." Breaker nodded and grabbed Weaver's hand. He pulled the younger hero up and started running.

"Is you face the only thing that's hurt?" he asked, keeping an eye on him to make sure he didn't trip again.

"Yes, I'm fine, nothing else is hurt. Don't worry about me." He said still holding onto his face, using his left arm to grab his sword. "Let's worry about the… whatever they're called?"

(Alright, he's gonna get chewed out afterwards haha)

Breaker didn't like the way Weaver looked like he was favoring one leg over the other, but they couldn't argue over that now. Weaver probably wouldn't admit that something was wrong until they got to where they were going someone took a look at his foot. "They're… some kind of stal monster, I think," he said, momentarily glancing back at Cal. The man had taken down two of the monsters already and let an arrow fly into the glowing eye socket of a third. Breaker was definitely glad for the cover that he was providing. "We're almost there, and.. I think I see a house!" Breaker exclaimed, pointing at a building. Light flickered in the windows. They had a wounded party member–a kid, too, as mad as Weaver would be to hear him say it–and were stuck out at night, surely whoever lived inside wouldn't turn them away.

"I guess we have no choice but to go there," Weaver said wincing and taking another swipe at the stal. "Can I pretend I don't know how to speak., when we get there?"

(Ack, sorry! I got kinda busy yesterday dknlsv)

"I guess?" The answer sounded more like a question. "If you want to? Not sure why, but I won't stop you." He slashed at one of the monsters that got too close for comfort. Breaker felt a twinge of satisfaction as it turned to dust before him. An arrow met the skull of another stal, and Breaker turned to see Cal catching up with them. Most of the monsters were defeated by the time he actually caught up with them. "Thanks for that," Breaker said. Cal simply nodded in response. They'd reached where the road met the plateau, and it seemed like it had been cut into it and went up at a slope for access to the top. As they followed the road, it didn't seem like there were any monsters waiting to claw their way up through the earth to fight them.

When the group made it to the top, they were met with what looked like a ranch of some sort. Cal took the lead and headed straight toward the house. He knocked three times on the door, and a female voice called, "Just a second!". Footsteps sounded inside before the door opened. A woman with vibrant red hair looked out at the trio. "May I help you?"

"We're sorry to bother you this late, ma'am–" Cal was cut off by a gasp as the woman caught sight of Weaver.

"Oh, dear, you're injured! Come in, come in," she invited, waving the group inside. She grabbed a cloth off of the counter and soaked it in water. "Here, let's clean that wound before we get to anything else."

(Don't worry School messed up my update schedual)

Weaver held his cloak tighter around himself and shifted his weight so he was standing on his foot witht eh broken foot. He shook his head, entered the house, and tried to seem as small as possible.

(Broken? I thought he just twisted his ankle?)

"Um, miss, we can take care of–" Breaker was cut off as well.

"Nonsense! Set your things down and make yourselves at home, you hear? Don't tell me you were thinking of traveling more at this hour, it's far too dangerous." The woman placed her free hand on her hip and gave Breaker a look, and he realized that he was being scolded by a complete stranger.

The hell?!

Cal nudged Breaker with a look that said, Be quiet. I'll handle it. "Ma'am, my brother doesn't like strangers touching him. I can tend to his injuries," he said.

"Oh!" The woman exclaimed, handing Cal the cloth with an apology. Cal said his thanks and accepted it.

"Can I see?" he asked Weaver, not wanting to just start touching his face without permission. It didn't matter that the kid didn't actually have much of an aversion to touch–at least, not that Breaker or Cal had noticed–it would still be rather uncomfortable for someone to just start scrubbing your face without warning.

Weaver nodded his head, and moved the cloak a tiny bit out the way so Cal could get to it, but the lady couldn't see.

His skin was rubbed raw, and there were a few indent and bloody spots where the scales were originally, Weaver was thankfull that they always grew back. While he didn't like Cal calling himself his brother, but it did get the lady out of the way so It worked. And he was right - Weaver hated people touching him.

Cal made quick work of it, making sure to be as gentle as he could. He then gave Weaver a wad of bandages. "Use these to apply pressure there, it should stop bleeding soon." Cal glanced at Weaver's foot for a split second, but said nothing; if they removed the boot to check his injury, his webbed feet would be revealed. "You next," he said, turning to face Breaker. "Were you hurt at all?"

"Nothing serious. I got whacked pretty hard in the shoulder, but I don't think anything's broken. It'll probably bruise, that's all," Breaker replied, rolling his shoulder a bit to see how much he could move it. He winced a little. But really, there wasn't much of anything they could do about it besides be careful. "I'll be fine. What about you?"

"I was using my bow, none of them got close enough to land a hit." Cal turned to their host, who wore a curious expression. The hero extended his hand. "Apologies, ma'am, we never asked for your name. I'm–"

"Let me guess, Link?"

Breaker stiffened. Is she the reason we're…? He looked over at Cal, who had gone rigid with his hand still out for the woman to shake. His stoic expression had cracked a little, shock showing through. "Well? Am I right or am I right?" the woman asked, grinning a little.

Cal blinked and schooled his expression back to serious, letting his hand drop to his side. "…Yes. How did you know?"

The woman laughed. "I've said it before, and I'll say it again–you know one Link, you know 'em all. Plus, I've seen that device on your hip before."

"…Pardon?"

She extended her hand for Cal to shake. "My name's Malon, and my husband's name is Link. Though recently he's been going by his title, the Hero of Time. Maybe you've met him? He'd be traveling with a group of eight others, Heroes like y'all are."

Both heroes visibly relaxed upon hearing that, though Breaker was confused. Nine other heroes that they hadn't met yet? Cal shook Malon's hand. "It's an honor to meet you, though I'm afraid we haven't crossed paths with your husband or his party."
