Legend and Sky fluff for you! :D
Hope you have a wonderful birthday, enjoy yourself!
"Legend..." The veteran raised his head as the gentle knock on the door of his room sounded. The voice of the Skyloftian sounded through the door. "Have you got a minute?"
The chain had been dropped off in the high clouds of Skyloft. And were currently staying in the Knights Academy. Sunlight shone through the singular window of his borrowed room as the veteran made to stand. Opening the door to find the Skyloftian stood in his Skyloftian dubs. Sailcloth still fastened around his neck.
"Sky I'm a little busy can't this wait?" He raised an eyebrow, as the skyloftian raised a hand to the back of his head. As he smiled back gently.
"I know... But I said I was going to show you something next time we were here." The skyloftian offered a hand. "It wont take long. So, you fancy an adventure?"
Mulling it over for a few moments before he nodded. "Sure thing bird brain."
Sky chuckled as he turned, leading the way outside of the academy and into the cool air.
"So birdbrain, What was so important that you had to drag me into the cold for." His eyes scanned the horizon, as he watched the way the town's colours seem to shift with the sunshine. Loftwings soared through the daytime air.
"It's almost midday."
"It is." Sky smiled as he continued to direct the veteran, walking them past the bazaar and across a small bridge. "But the full sun gives the best lighting for drawing." The skyloftian walked down a flight of stairs, and turned to cross a small bridge. "And anyway I think, you needed this."
"Needed... Sky im sorry wait." He stopped in his tracks, the pair had reached a hill which overlooked the entire island. The sound of flowing water. "Why?"
"Why?" The Skyloftian echoed.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Because." Sky paused, a hand to his chin before he turned to look over the horizon. "You've been down recently."
"Sky I'm fine." He tried to argue but the Skyloftian stopped him.
"And you needed an updated map."
The mention of a map made the veteran stand up a little straighter. His ears wiggled in excitement as he pulled a pen out of a pocket. Looking at it before placing it in his ear.
He pointed over to the bench. "If you sit there you can get a great view. You did say you needed to draw up a new map of Skyloft, and there's two places you can do that from. If you want a birds eye view we can get up there." The skyloftian pointed to the floating island above them, the water cascading down. "Pretty easily."
The veteran thought for a moment, pulling the pen back from his ear and twisting the pen around in his hands.
"Well. I know you really like your maps. And the one you have of Skyloft is, well its a scribble I gave you while I was sleep deprived. Thought I'd give you an opportunity to see the full island for yourself so you could draw a proper one for yourself to hold on to."
The veteran smiled as he sat beside the Skyloftian who had pulled out his harp. the skyloftian held out a roll of map paper to the veteran who's eyes widened slightly. "Is this..."
The weight, the texture. the sound it made as he gently unfolded it. It had to be from home, there was no other way around it.
"It is. I spoke to your Zelda the last time we were there. She had a batch made for me."
They sat for a while, the gentle strumming of the goddess harp accompanying the scribbling of a pen across the paper as the Vet created the map. He had one of every world they had visited. But this was now the most detailed of the lot of them. Having been given the time to apply details such as bridges and waterways, stairs and hills.
Just to get the time to do the things he loved, without worrying about time constraints.
"Hey, Sky."
The sound of the harp quieted as the last of the notes echoed out. The skyloftian looked at him, quizically.
"Thanks. This means a lot." He smiled as he looked over his work, looking up to the higher platform. He'd have to ask Sky later if they could go up there.
For now, he rolled up the newly drawn map and held it in his hands.
"You're welcome." The skyloftian rested the harp on his leg. "You are my brother Legend. And I care about you." Sky punched him on the shoulder playfully. "All of us do."
"Even Warriors?" The veteran laughed, a genuine smile plastered across his face as the pair looked over Skyloft, the sun beaming down as they spotted two flashes of blue across the island.
"Even warriors." Sky laughed too.
"Come on, We better get back before our dear captain begins to worry we've fallen from the island or something." The vet smiled offering a hand to the Skyloftian. "Here."
"Race ya?" The skyloftian laughed as he sprinted down the hill.
"Get back here birdbrain!" The vet laughed as he sprinted after the skyloftian.
I hope you liked it :D
