This is Indeed the Fairy You Are Looking For
“Veil mentioned that Fuchsia is handsome, right?”
Link, Acisha, and Zelda were climbing up a rocky, forested trail that led up the side of a mountain. Veil had sent them to find the Great Fairy named Fuchsia and ask him for help with an upcoming battle.
“If you need help in the upcoming battle, I would recommend visiting Fuchsia and asking him for help,” Veil had said.
“He’s a Great Fairy like me, although he is less powerful if I recall correctly. A lesser Great Fairy, if you will.”
“Well, I can’t remember very clearly...I’ve only recovered a few of my memories since I was freed from the malice...but I do recall he was much shorter than me, but still very tall by Hylian standards. I also remember that he had a handsome face and dark hair, and a piercing, cold gaze.”
“Yeah, she mentioned that he was handsome,” Link responded. “Why do you ask?”
“Well, that’s kinda vague, isn’t it? Does that mean he’s her type? What even is Veil’s type? What do you suppose he looks like?”
Link and Acisha turned to Zelda after she spoke. They hadn’t thought about that.
“Maybe she means he’s super muscular or something?” Link suggested.
“With a solid, strong jawline,” Acisha added. “And a six pack.”
Zelda continued, “He’s probably got amazing hair too. With as much hair as Veil has, I bet others’ hairstyles stand out to her, especially on someone she finds attractive.”
“Well, she never said she was attracted to him,” Link pointed out, “she only mentioned he’s good looking.”
“She also said he had a really cold gaze, right?” Acisha added. “Maybe he’s really scary and intimidating, if that’s combined with being tall and buff.”
“Yeah, probably…” Zelda shuddered a bit.
The three climbed on a bit further, still discussing theories about how Fuchsia was going to look and what to expect. It didn’t take long for them to reach the clearing in the trees and rocks which marked the entrance to the Fairy’s Fountain. On the far side of the clearing was a dirt path, which led a bit farther up a hill, towards what looked like a waterfall. They could see a glint of white stone at the base of the waterfall. They figured that was where the fountain was.
“Well, it looks like we’re here,” Acisha declared. “You guys ready to head up?”
“Ready as I’ll ever be,” Link responded. Zelda nodded in agreement.
As the three reached the top of the path, they could see the Fairy’s Fountain more clearly. At the base of the waterfall was a large pool surrounded by white stone, with a small river branching out from it that led back down the mountain. Surrounding the pool were several cherry trees, which were all in full blossom, their petals blowing in the gentle breeze. To the side of the pool were three stone steps which curved around the pool, and flattened out at the top. Sitting on the steps they saw a tall, elegant man wearing flowing purple robes, who also had long silky hair that went down to his waist. The man was sipping on a cup of tea, with a teapot laid beside him on the steps.
Assuming he was a Hylian who had come to visit the fountain like they had, the trio decided to approach him.
“Hello!” Zelda was the first to speak. The man looked up from his tea with a neutral expression on his face, but it seemed as though he had expected them to come. “I’m Zelda, and this is Link and Acisha.” She gestured toward the two of them. “Are you here to see the Great Fairy, Fuchsia, like we are?”
The man narrowed his eyes a bit. He merely sighed and took a sip of his tea.
“Oh, I suppose that would be obvious...I mean, what reason would you have to be here other than to see the Great Fairy?”
The man put down his cup of tea, and rubbed the bridge of his nose. “I AM Fuchsia.”
The three of them stood in shocked silence.
After a very awkward few seconds of silence, Acisha was the first to speak up. “You are?”
“But you look so...I dunno, normal. The other Great Fairies we’ve met had wings and horns…”
Fuchsia snapped his fingers, and a pair of horns appeared on his head, and about fifty or so translucent wings began to grow from his back. “Better?” he asked.
Acisha was stunned. “Er...yeah.”
Fuchsia looked at the three expectantly, but the three of them were still stunned that this seemingly ordinary man was actually the Great Fairy, and they were also embarrassed by their mistake, so they were silent.
Finally, Fuchsia spoke up again. “Did you need something? If not, you’re wasting my time.”
“Oh,” Zelda blushed, even more embarrassed. “Right. Um…”
“We’re about to go into battle, and we were told that you could help us,” Link explained. “Veil told us you’re the best person to ask about...stuff like that.”
Fuchsia’s gaze softened when he looked at Link. For a moment, he was very quiet.
“Is something the matter?” Link asked.
Fuchsia shook his head, dismissing the question. “So Veil sent you, then? I haven’t seen her in a while. I heard she got corrupted by malice. She’s doing better, then?”
Acisha spoke up, “Yeah, she’s doing a lot better now.”
“I see. That is good to hear.” He turned to Link again. “I will gladly aid you in your fight, young hero.”
@linkeduniverse-incorrect @naturaldisaster-goddess I can’t remember who else to tag, if I remember I’ll reblog with the rest of the tags...
Anyway! I hope I didn’t mess up the personalities or plot details anywhere, if so I’m sorry, I just wanted to show y’all what Fuchsia is like.
Also, looking back, I made it kinda confusing why Fuchsia just got suddenly quiet after looking at Link...I dunno how to fix that, but anyway, the reason is because he saw Link’s soul and noticed how pure and light it was, and he was deciding, hey, I like this little Hylian. Pure souls are rare.
