Link had become a rather jumpy person since waking up from his hundred-year slumber. Between Yiga assassins, monsters hiding on the side of the road, and enemies where he least expected them, his reflexes had him ready to draw his weapon at the slightest disturbance.

He hadn’t encountered anything too bad in the Lost Woods so far, and absolutely nothing cropped up on the path between Korok Woods and the rest of the world. That was... until today.

When he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, he’d nearly set the grass around him on fire with how quickly he’d whipped to face the potential enemy. What he hadn’t been expecting was... Well. Whoever this was. Clearly they were a child, and neither a human nor Korok... but beyond that, he was at a loss for what exactly he was seeing.

“I’m... sorry.” he said slowly, pulling his torch back.

    ღ ── THE FOG on seemed to thicken as time passed. Mipha’s              plan to wait until the sun burned it away was not going to work             at this time it would seem. She was left with the option then of             either trying to traverse through or wait further. At this point,             she had already wasted away half of the day and if she didn’t             leave now, she would risk having to make this small cave her             resting place for the night── less than ideal for a Zora.

               NOT EVEN five steps in and the sounds of rustling             nearby caught the Champion’s attention. Trident was raised             cautiously, in the event it was not a friendly face she would             encounter. Her own movements slowed, every inch of her             listening to the world around her. Finally, once she heard the             movement again, and a thought that perhaps they TOO were             lost in the growing fog.
