When Caelum had spoke of perhaps needing a nap, she smiled lightly, looking around and thinking carefully. "We're pretty far from home..." she murmured. "Perhaps it'd be best for us to set up camp sometime soon. Or we could start heading back and stay in one of the villages. There are a few stable inns along the route," she pointed out. "If we left to go back to base now, we wouldn't get back until well into tomorrow early morning. It's a long trip." [break] [break] When he spoke of her only being once person, she noddded. "I know. After the events transpired from the war though... so many of my followers - including the people in our very coalition lost their lives. I felt responsible. As such, I felt it may be necessary to do things on my own... at least for now," she admitted. "I don't want anyone to lose their lives on account of my duties to our Kingdom. It's my burden to bear." [break] [break] She could tell that the mention of their father had brought a bit of irritation to Caelum's voice, as she turned to face him again, seeing that he was visibly discomforted by the mention. She wasn't quite sure why - or how their relationship was. She was so involved in her own issues with him, she never quite knew how he treated her other siblings. All she could remember that she herself was held at a higher standard than the rest. Her jealousy for her siblings was enough to make her avoid them for the most part, so she never quite knew what their relationship to father was. [break] [break] "He would be proud, Zelda." His words shook her slightly, almost stinging as they rang in her ears. Would he really? Sure, she took matters into her own hands... but only after she had failed time and time again. The cowardice she displayed thereafter, and her inability to let go would have surely given her a lecture or two if he were still alive. "I would hope so," she said with a sigh. "There's always more I could be doing though. That's something he always made sure to tell me. I could be doing more."

[attr="class","textie"] Zelda could see the bit of embarrassment that had painted over Caelum's face, to which she frowned slightly, feeling bad that she perhaps hadn't reacted in the way that he had hoped. Then again, it seemed that way with most people. She just wasn't the same person she used to be and could hardly find anything she found that brought her much joy. It was the reason she had been so secretive, perhaps knowing that she wasn't the best of company anymore. Too much melancholy for one evening, and she had a hard time shaking it. [break] [break] "Are you tired?" she finally asked. "If you'd like, we can head back to camp so that you can rest. You've been on the move for quite a while now, you deserve to rest." she faced him again, frowning in concern. Quite honestly, they could all use a rest. Every single one of them worked so hard every day just to survive and find numbers. Perhaps they were in need of a vacation, even if only for a day. [break] [break] When Caelum began to speak once more, giving his motivation toward her, she laughed lightly when the words didn't quite come out the way that he had hoped. Rolling her eyes playfully, she shook her head as she took a step toward the lake again, dipping her feet in the water. "Well, it's not easy. But I'm going to get myself back out there myself, instead of sending others to run errands for me," she nodded. [break] [break] He spoke of things being different than how they used to be, and she agreed... and yet, at the same time, it seemed like nothing has changed at all. The way she grew up compared to her siblings was not the same. Sure, Caelum was the only boy and had it a bit differently than their younger sisters... but he was put on a far smaller pedestal than she was. Her childhood was robbed from her at an early age, replacing toys with relics and storybooks with scrolls. Fun was a privilege she was never allowed to enjoy for too long. [break] [break] In the end, she still felt the still shame her father had given her if she had failed to uphold her duties, except now, it was magnified onto the entire kingdom. Before, it was behind the castle walls. Now it was exposed for the world to see. "I can only imagine what father would say if he saw me now," she grumbled.

Zelda stayed silent as Caelum spoke, going over the view around them, stating that it was because of not only Link's efforts, but hers as well. He spoke of her dedication and courage that she faced, and how none of this would have been there had it not been for them. The rest of the world didn't see it that way though - if Link hadn't called upon the gods, the world as they knew it would have been destroyed, and yet, people would continue to talk of their failure. The triforce may have been shattered, but the world was saved in exchange. [break] [break] It was true, that she may have done all these things, and they sounded so much better in words, but as for her actions - what more could they have done? Perhaps if she had found Link a little sooner, they could have completed his trials before Seith was able to come to full power to attack the kingdom. Or perhaps if she had heeded the goddess's warnings when she had first encountered them, then things would have turned out differently. [break] [break] But here they were now, and there was not much they'd be able to do if they only listed the what if's. As Caelum spoke of Link no longer being among their ranks, she clenched her hand tightly, closing her eyes as she nodded. "I will fin a way to save him," she said. "I promised him I would, and I know there is a way. The sword would not glow if there was no way to bring him back." Determination came over her expression once more as she looked back to the water. [break] [break] As she thought of the words he spoke, she couldn't help but feel that he may have been selling himself short. "You say I'm stronger than you, but you're forgetting who was the one out on the field this entire time. It wasn't me," she said quietly. "You've done more for the heroes than I have thus far. All I've done is shut myself away from the company of others while barking orders of what our failed plans of action were," she admitted. [break] [break] But as he suddenly yelled out into the horizon, striking a pose, which had startled Zelda as she looked up at him in surprise. There was a following silence, to which she wasn't sure how to respond, simply blinking with a blank stare in shock. "Are... you okay..?"

ACTIVITY CHECK
It's about that time! We have now reached a member base that has taken a good chunk of our canon roles, and it's time to do some cleaning up. Because of the slow in activity from some players, it is time to hold an activity check.

"How long do you think this will last though?" Zelda spoke rather impatiently to Caelum's words of encouragement. She turned to face him, a desperate gleam in her eyes for any validation as to why this fate had fallen upon them. Truthfully, she felt like she was slipping away. She spent the better part of four years bottling up everything and hiding it behind the closed doors of the Temple of Time, not wishing to be disturbed as she mourned in private. There was no one she's really spoken to about her worries, and while she tried her hardest to contain her frustration and keep composure while among others... today didn't seem to be working so well. [break] [break] "I don't know what else we can do, Cael, I'm running thin as it is," her voice wavered. "No one will listen to me--they think I'm a failure. I was ripped from the throne as proof of that! The only way for us to truly win..." she trailed off for a moment. She couldn't even find words to speak without sounding completely desperate for validation of her loss. "If the people were able to see that the hero was alive, perhaps they'd be more willing to step up," she finally finished. [break] [break] It was such an odd loss for her. Despite being lovers, the young heir had grown up putting this "hero" on a pedestal. From the ancient texts she studied, to the stories that were passed on through the generations, the story of the Legendary Hero fascinated her. There was never an era where the world could not be without one to save it. He never faltered and never failed. [break] [break] Until now. [break] [break] It was an unhealthy obsession. Perhaps it was because she projected her own failures onto this idea, one that her own father had buried into her brain long ago. Perhaps it was because she still hasn't heard the voices of the gods since the incident. She had the visions of an omen, and then silence. And then they appeared to Link's aid when he was fatally wounded, and then silence. All the praying, all the ritual, all for nothing. And yet Link was simply handed the title at the ripe age of twenty. Never having a history of knowing he had a role to play in destiny, and yet it was given to him on a silver platter. The Master Sword accepted him with no complication. [break] [break] It was because of this, that she felt she was useless to her own Kingdom, and put such a heavy burden on the hero. He was the only sign of progression throughout this entire chain of events, while she only could hear the whispers of a goddess in a dream. She felt she had nothing to offer, and now the only one who could slay a god with the proper training was left to rot in a prison of another realm. [break] [break] "I just wish there was something I could do to show people that there is hope," she mumbled quietly.

It had been a long day for the young heiress. Despite the sun not fading into the horizon just yet, it felt as though too many hours had passed, her dedication and determination falling into error, as it usually did, when it came to finding those who would swear fealty to her cause. Everyone was afraid - and for good reason. While she was not bold enough to venture into the main cities across Hyrule, she had made her way to many small villages within the area, far enough to stay out of the ears of those who may breath a word of her survival to the enemies that had taken siege of the castle. [break] [break] They were all very afraid though, and she couldn't blame them. With all the failures she's endured, why would they want to give an oath to blind hope that everything will be okay? She had spent so much of her time dedicated to this destiny, and yet she had nothing to show for it. She was an heir of failure and the crumble of her own kingdom. And as if she had not already endured enough, she had to swallow the hate that the gossip mongers spread of her hero. The first hero to fail. But, no matter how they went about it, no matter how many times she played the scenarios in her head, even if they had discovered him sooner... they were always set up for failure. The fate in which they were now living was inevitable. [break] [break] Zelda had rested her bare feet in the sand as the shallow tide of water slowly crept upon her toes. Wind grazing her hair lightly, she closed her eyes, smelling the freshwater and pine as it filled her senses. There were not many words spoken between Zelda and her brother. It seemed that he was tired, and she was as well. They hadn't spoken much of anything recently though. Four years passed since the War of Gods, and while he swore to protect her and followed her until the end, she still felt a rift in their relationship, as though she barely knew him as a person anymore. While he was out on the field, supporting her cause and helping with supply runs... what was she doing? Sitting by that damned sword, mourning for her lost hero. For four years.. [break] [break] She was so afraid of failing again, that she refused to leave its side, too afraid to go out into the world to send a message of hope to her people. She was a coward, at best. She wasn't quite sure what had changed. Perhaps she had finally realized that her fear was prolonging the fate of her kingdom. She had only now begun to slowly show her face to the world again. She felt that now was the right time to announce the return of her family. [break] [break]"I'm sure the next village will be more promising," she assured Caelum, trying to not sound as disappointed in their hesitation to aid their cause. "I can understand their apprehension though... a family thought to be dead for years, suddenly returning and asking for able bodies to join them without knowing what their numbers are? I'd be afraid, too."
