as another day comes to a close, the knight finds himself rested by the fire place. he was focused on cooking the meat that he had prepared, which he was more than ready to sink his teeth into it. however, it seems that he wasn’t the only one eager to take a bite of it, as he takes notice of a lone wolf beside him. 

     “You are really resilient aren’t you?”

“It was not wise for you to come here especially when it’s storming outside.” Mipah lightly scolded Link while she wrapped a thick blanket over him, “Luckily, for you a campfire is brewing, you can take a seat and wait for the storm to pass over.”

Honestly, what came over him? He was so soaked and wet. Link could catch a cold at this rate!

         The possibly of howling winds, towering waves, and thundering storms was enough to make any sailor nervous. Tetra’s boat could take a beating, but it didn’t mean she was indestructible, nor were the those manning it invincible. There wasn’t any warning for the storm. One minutes there was sunny skies and smooth sailing and the next they were in a tropical storm, left to scramble to tie everything down and hide in the lower decks. If they weren’t careful, someone was bound to be tossed overboard, and with the towering waves, finding them would be slim. 

Unfortunately, that’s exactly what they got.

Link struggled to stand on the deck, the rain drenching and freezing him to the bone. Each sudden movement of ship caused him to stumble. His hands gripped the railing as he made his way towards the door that would take him to the lower decks. To say that he was worried was a lie, storms on the Great Sea were never this bad and yet... That wave looked ready to eat the ship!

Taking the risk, the boy bolted towards the door, a sudden rock of the ship was quick to send him crashing over the railing. The best he got out was a shout of surprise but it was drowned out by the thunder as he crashed down into the water. 

Falling overboard was a death sentence in the Great Sea, but Link wasn’t quite ready to accept his fate. 

Fighting to get to the surface, his head poked out of the choppy waters, fighting just to breath. This couldn’t be the end, this really couldn’t. However, his loosing fight the water was quickly shut down when he was quite literally slammed into the boat... The burning sensation from breathing in the salt water was replaced with darkness. 

It was warm, Link could tell that much. There wasn’t the freezing rain, nor was there the howling wind, even the rocking of the boat was missing. Cracking his eyes open, he started to look around the room, he was expecting to see one of the crew members, but he didn’t.

“I do hope the snow lets up. Winter has only just begun, and it is already too cold to go outside.”

The cold made her want to stay inside and curl up under a blanket with a good book. Anything to get away from the frigid temperatures. But life went on, and she had responsibilities to take care of. Avoiding the cold temperatures was impossible.

                                                ❝ HMMM? ❞

      Ruby hues glanced upwards slowly towards the HERO chosen by the god’s （𝙰 𝚓𝚘𝚔𝚎 𝚒𝚗 𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚘𝚙𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚘𝚗 ）, hand perched upon round hips as feet dangled mere inches from the soil below. Well, this was a bit awkward now, wasn’t it? The little IMP hadn’t listened to a single word he said. If that wasn't evident by the quizzical TILT of her head.
