woodshore muses

           It was true that an arrowhead wasn’t the most abnormal thing ever to her, it did show that this area had history. Judging by the age of the arrowhead, it had been there for at least a couple hundred years.  For her, that was history and knowledge, it told a story of the past. There were many who didn’t understand her obsession for knowledge, so it wasn’t surprising that someone thought such a smile object could bring her such interest.             ❝ It may not be interesting to the average person, but artifacts like this tell of stories that came before us. ❞ She gave a light smile as she held up her journal that was filled with different things she had found since she arrived. Though she guessed the other wouldn’t be able to read Hylian...

           Her head raised as the woman approached and spoke of the dragonfly. A small awkward smile formed as she glanced back at the insect that was still sitting there with no care in the world. ❝ Unlike humans... they don’t have to worry about anything other than a meal to eat and water to drink. ❞ Though, she had to admit, it would be a dank life to be without her camera, and it would be a little weird seeing the world in a million eyes.             She would take all that though, if it meant Chloe was back...            ❝ Sorry, if I’m... a little off. I had a rough time back home and I come out here to distract myself. ❞ She gave the other a nod, looking back to the dragonfly. ❝ Do you like Photography? ❞

             Being caught talking to the dragonfly was slightly embarrassing as she wasn’t really the type to just take to bugs in general. Only times she had was when she saw the blue butterfly, and that messed with her head from that point on. She flushed as she glanced to the person who had spoke to her... then she froze. Her image was burned into her memory and that memory spoke of the person before her had been... murdered. She just stared, worried that her time magic was messing with her head again.                ❝ A... Are you Rachel Amber...? ❞ She spoke in a very hesitant tone, worried that she was about to have another meltdown. She couldn’t handle that right now, not with her trying to find her promised.. Chloe. What would she say... seeing the girl before her alive and well?

            It had been a couple of weeks since she had first come to Woodshore. Her routine had become normal enough.. take a jog in the morning, go do her training at the base, then office work for a while. When the evening came, she would venture out into the town and explore. It was a beautiful town with a bunch of interesting people. She had met a few and they all seemed fairly friendly... though odd. It was as if everyone there was from a different realm, or that was the feeling she got.              She slipped into the local Cafe, content on just reading a random book she picked up from the library. It was something she could see herself falling into her routine as it was relaxing to the secret 8-foot Warrior that no one there knew about. Still, she was getting a little antsy as there wasn’t anyone who she could spar with or just... be herself around.             Setting her book down, she looked around the room at the others who were in there before she saw a very familiar face across the room. Wait... it couldn’t be.... She stood and cautiously approached, silently hopeful it was who she hoped it was. ❝ Ca... Catra...? ❞

            She looked to the sky again as the other spoke about how it just opened up. It was different hearing it said in such a poetic way; it was nice actually. Made the rain a little more tolerable, something to enjoy. She honestly reminded her of one of the Princesses she knew back in her world which made her relax some in her presence. ❝ As long as Zeus doesn’t strike me down with his lightning bolts in the process, I guess it’s not so bad. ❞ Cautiously, she stepped into the rain, going to the other’s side. She raised her head and closed her eyes similarly to how the woman did before. It felt as if all her worries were being washed away... 

                  She had not expected anyone else to be in the area so his sudden words made her jump. Her head snapped up to where he was, her eyes widened to see him... was he floating?! She had not met anyone else with abilities, so seeing someone all out floating in mid air was a shock to her nervous system and had her clambering to her feet and quickly away from the guy. Max stood there, staring at him for a long moment. Probably looked like a fish out of water with the way she gaped. He first instinct was to take a picture, but she stilled herself by gripping onto her camera for dear life.                   ❝ H-how are you doing that...!? ❞

             When the man managed to get the door open, she bounced on her feet in relief. Finally! It was open now! But for how long...? Maybe she should take him up on his offer. ❝ Ah.. yes. Just a second. ❞ She slipped inside to grab an empty book cart to roll over to where the door was and propped the door open, she locked the cart wheels so it wouldn’t move and gave a satisfied clap of her hands.              ❝ If you can fix it, I have no problem paying you for the job! It would be really helpful to me and the library. ❞ She gave the man a smile, holding out her hand in greeting to the other. ❝ I’m Belle, I am a librarian here and just moved here. I am.. still catching my bearings as of yet, as you can see with the door. ❞

            ❝ I am willing to try anything. ❞ She gave a laugh at her desperation, slipping inside the library to get things set up for the day ahead. Before she went in too far, she looked into the book return drop next to the door. There was a few, wouldn’t take too long to put them back. ❝ As you can see, I don’t have much experience myself. I can read about it, but actually putting that reading to action may be a bit shotty. ❞

              She hadn’t expected people to be showing up to the library so early, so when the woman had appeared, she was taken aback. It wasn’t in shock or surprise, she just didn’t expect many to show up yet. Belle took a breath at the appearance, giving the woman a sheepish smile as she tried the door once more. When it didn’t budge, she threw up her hands and stepped back so the other could give it a shot. ❝ I have been struggling with it since I took the job here, and it has not gotten much better. ❞               ❝ Sorry if I seem a little short, I’m just frustrated. ❞ She sighed as she glanced at her watch on her wrist. The library should have been opened about ten minutes ago. Had she been struggling with the door that long?

            The forest was a nice place, it wasn’t full of monsters or dangerous animals. It was peaceful. A place where she could go and look around for possible artifacts that she could take home and study over. It seemed like a lot of random objects appeared here and there, which made her wonder what all types of people actually appeared there. Being new to the area, she didn’t have a lot to work with, but the library was a good source as well was the local Newspaper, as it was called.               She picked up an old triangular rock that looked very peculiar to be that of a normal rock. An arrowhead perhaps? It did look like one from what she could remember of Link’s bow. Quickly, she pulled out a box from her satule that she kept random findings in, careful to place it among the cushion she put in using paper. ❝ Seems there really is more than what meets the eye here. ❞ She muttered to herself, pulling out her journal to record the finding.

            The town, it was very similar to Arcadia Bay but with more charm. It was simple enough to get around, and having her own space was just a bonus. Her photos were all over her apartment on light stings and there was room to spare for more. Her camera was tight in her grasp as she went around the town taking pictures of whatever inspired her. She was kneeling on the ground in the park, taking a photo of a dragonfly that had perched on a wildflower, careful not to disturb the insect. Once she had her photo, she smiled and just admired it.            ❝ It must be nice not having to worry about real life... ❞ She spoke softly to it, sitting cross legged on the ground.
