Ravio didn't mean to show such vulnerability, but the exhaustion from exploring dungeons got the best of him.
Hilda wasn't sure how to react; it was the first time he'd actually let his guard down around her (though accidental). It was the first time she'd experienced this sort of "intimacy" in general, outside of her parents when she was young. So, maybe a smaller reaction was most appropriate. Better not make it awkward!

My interpretation of the realms of zelda but it looks really bad because I am very tired from school. Additional notes below:
Hyrule is inside of the Light World, which many other kingdoms are also inside of (such as Labrynna, Holodrum, Hytopia, etc) and the great sea is what became of the light realm in Wind Waker, so it would be inaccurate to generalize it as just “Hyrule”. In this same naming convention the default name for Lorule would probably be something like the Dark World, but the Dark World which is a corrupted version of the sacred realm (more on that later). So instead it is the Mirror World because it isn’t even a dark version of anything, it is just prone to misfortune. More on that later as well.
The worlds between are literally that. The worlds between. Any world that is not directly connected to the goddesses like the Dark Realm (not to be confused with the Dark World), the Twilight Realm, the World of the Ocean King, Termina, anything that is a consequence of the creation of Hyrule in order to contain Null.
The people of Hyrule have utter faith in the gods, even to the point of their own downfall. The very nature of Hyrule is that of a cyclical battle between the supposed good and just powers of the gods, and the wicked dark powers of the demon tribe. These two forces pull the land of Hyrule between prosperity and apocalyptic doom. One cannot exist without the other. The legends they speak of are that of heroes ordained with the essence of courage, princesses possessing the wise blood of the goddess, and wizards who are corrupted in their morality by the lull of power and ambition. The three virtues of courage, wisdom, and power, can be viewed as parallel to the three poisons each represented by a serpent, a bird, and a boar respectively. The three poisons keep mortal souls locked in a cycle of death, rebirth, and unfulfillment, just as the three virtues keep the land of Hyrule locked in a cycle that ultimately ends in dissatisfaction.
The people of Lorule distrust the gods, even to the point of their own downfall. The very nature of Lorule is one of an upward battle for the very right to being as they dangle at the maw of nonexistence. Lorule’s creation was nothing but a consequence of Hyrule’s creation, and while Hyrule bears witness to the brilliant guiding light of the gods above, Lorule is sequestered to its underbelly where it is exposed to Null and therefore nonexistence. The legends they speak of are that of benevolent tricksters who foster great wit, terribly fated princesses who find strength in their misfortune, and wizards who in their tenacity are capable of doing great and terrible things. The three virtues of wit, misfortune, and tenacity are what became of the three Hyrulean virtues without the stewardess Hylia to guard it or the three goddesses to seek counsel from. Once possessing absolute power, they were molded by mortal hands and now serve to pull the people of the land from the brink of ever-returning oblivion.
proto/beta- Luna Nightingale; Lorule Guard Captain.
unsure what to do with her just yet, but i heard the name in my head and had to do something abt it 🤷♀️ she's not subject to change much in appearance i don't think but her personality might, happens with my charas. any ideas are welcome.
my conceptualisation of lorule's existence is: as above, so below. hyrule and lorule, two similar but opposite places, are top and bottom to each other
when the golden three made the world, came to a place of energy potential and creativity, they formed a crust overtop a core, and made life. made mountains, and oceans, and valleys and people and magic. but you cannot have just one side of something, without anything to support it. you cannot have a foreign power come in and shape something natural, and have the natural do nothing in response. the universe had to balance out what the gods had impacted. so to balance it, lorule was formed. hyrule's clear waters, balanced by lorule's deserts and swamps. hyrule's hulking ochre mountains, balanced by lorule's snowcapped peaks and deepest canyons. as above, so below. and, keyly? the triforce, a foreign powerful magic item, unknowable to the natural order, with no way of creating an opposition to something like that, could only be mimicked to keep the balance. and so, in creating one divine power, the goddess' presence was answered with another. an equal force, balancing out the pure divinity pushing down in the sacred realm. lorule and hyrule's triforce rested against one another on an infinitely thin plane, once upon a time, like the glass of a mirror.
the goddesses do not know of lorule, for they did not create it, and could not know the consequences of their actions. thus they offered no protections, no governing, no guidance on the creation of a sword to fight back should it end in the wrong hands. so when the allure of power led to warring in lorule, just like it does in hyrule, the free willed people of lorule came to a different conclusion than those with advisors on how to protect it: this power cannot continue to exist without recourse, of which they had none, so it must be destroyed.
and with the weight of hyrule's brilliant power no longer balanced and held up by its equal and opposite force, it started to bare down on them, and lorule began to crumble under it. cracks began to form in the glass. and things, eventually, started slipping through.

🔽 Decided to make some edits to an old design (2014 I believe). I've had this one up in my shop for almost 10 years! Also made a pattern to go on certain products.
🔗 Available in MY shop! (Not Ravios 🚫🐇) Link in bio
In those days the world of mirrors and the world of men were not, as they are now, cut off from each other. They were, besides, quite different; neither beings nor colors nor shapes were the same. Both kingdoms, the specular and the human, lived in harmony; you could come and go through mirrors.
One night the mirror people invaded the earth. Their power was great, but at the end of bloody warfare the magic arts of the Yellow Emperor prevailed. He repulsed the invaders, imprisoned them in their mirrors, and forced on them the task of repeating, as though in a kind of dream, all the actions of men. He stripped them of their power and of their forms and reduced them to mere slavish reflections.
Nonetheless, a day will come when the magic spell will be shaken off.
WIP tag game!! ⭐ oughgh I think I know what this is about but, "Groundward Staff"? 👀 (I'm torn between that and "Daybreak Rebels" lmao)
Yep, I’m sure you’re right about what it is! Groundward Staff is the Lorulean version of Skyward Sword with Depths from the A Band of Merchants AU. Same with “Daybreak Rebels,” just with Twilight Princess and Daybreak as the Ravio in question, of course.
Here's some of the very beginning of "Groundward Staff" (name subject to change):
Ravio woke up at the gentle tolling of the academy’s bell, its pitch low enough so that it would not interfere with the burrowings’ echolocation. Blinking the sleep from his eyes, he sat up in his bed.
Five times. That was how many times the bell tolled. It was early then. He never could sleep well, especially not before something as important as the Wing Ceremony. Probably was the stress.
He ran a hand over his face. As much as he wanted to go back to sleep, that was never going to happen. Then he stilled at a prickling at the back of his neck.
Ever since Ravio could remember, he had heard these…voices. Whispers.
Weird as it was, he only ever heard those whispers in the brief, quiet moments when he got too into his own head or deep in thought studying. They stayed right at the edge of his mind, like when one saw something in the corner of their eye only for nothing to be there upon turning to get a better look. He could never understand what those faint whispers were saying, but they had gotten louder recently. It was worrying. Hearing things could not have been good, though. ...So he ignored it.
But as he sat there in bed, he heard it again: the whispering. It was louder this time. Only, now, it was coming from behind and to the left of him.
Ravio whipped his upper body towards the whispering so fast that he fell off his bed with a thud.
Ow.
Well. If he was not already awake, that certainly made sure he was.
I'll also put some of Daybreak Rebels (name also subject to change) for you:
With complete disregard for its craftsmanship, the doctor plopped a statuette in the shape of a wolf down on the stall’s surface in front of him. It was familiar…
“There’s writing on the bottom. Perhaps you’ll remove it for me, hm? I’ll pay you well.” A bag stuffed full of rupees joined the statuette on the counter. So the doctor was not just slimy, but shady, too.
Carefully, Ravio picked up the statuette to examine it. Sure enough, after turning it over, he found a familiar message on its bottom. It read, “To {Ilia's counterpart}, to remember me by,” followed by his signature, all in his own scrawl.
“I’m curious,” Ravio said, feigning ignorance as he glanced up from the statuette, “This here {Ilia's counterpart} that’s mentioned, she mean something to you?”
“I—You’re not being paid to ask questions. Will you remove the message or not?” the doctor snapped. On edge, were we?
Ravio’s smile widened. “No, really. Because before I came to Castle Town, I remember giving someone by that same name a gift. It just so happened to be a wolf statuette, too. Carved it myself—even wrote a little message on the bottom for her like this one has!”
All the color drained from the doctor’s face.
...
Ravio just smiled for a moment, waiting. Only once false relief made its way onto the thief’s face did he let that smile fall and his expression grow dark. “I should report you, ya know.”
...
“You—You can’t intimidate me!” the thief cried, flustered, “The guards will never believe you. I’ll tell them you stole those rupees from me.”
“Uh-huh. You would, I’m sure.”Ravio altered the way he was sitting, leaning back casually and draping his arm over his stall, all without letting himself seem fazed. He was not the biggest or strongest, but there were plenty of ways to still look it. “But why believe you? Your reputation precedes you.”
That scene was a bit longer than I was planning to share at the moment, but oh well. That's those 2 WIPs. Thank you for the ask @maareyas!
