Shadowed Act I: Penumbra

By @not-freyja and @gia-d

Wind is no stranger to monsters.

Two adventures taught him more than any boy ought to know about them. About the way they fight, the way they think. About what it takes to make a monster.

This third adventure wants to test that. All across time there are monsters that are worse than they ought to be. Stronger. Smarter. Faster. Harder and harder to kill.

Still, Wind is no stranger to monsters. Which is why when a ninth Link joins the Chain, he knows that there is something… wrong.

Something very, very wrong.

This is absolutely amazing, because it makes it easier for us to find each other’s work, and easier for non-LU people to filter by exclude. But there is a small hiccup, a baby little problem. Allow me to explain.

Previously, the advice was given that since there was no canon fandom tag, that works should *also* be tagged with Linked Universe as an additional tag. This tag has over 8k works in it! Damn!

But… the new canonical fandom tag only has 4k works in it. Why? Because about half of the fandom was not using the fandom tag, only the additional tag.

I knew this day was coming, so I tagged LU as the fandom, which paid off! All my fics are now neatly sorted. But if you didn’t preemptively tag a non-canonized fandom… your fics are now a bit lost and unsorted.

This is your notice to go open those works up and fix the tags!

"He could hear Warriors' voice behind him, talking softly to Wild, though he couldn't make out the words, but when Warriors suddenly laughed softly he looked round. Wild was grinning, his shadowed eyes bright with enjoyment, and judging by Warriors' expression and tone he was telling one of the more pleasant stories from his adventure." — Chapter 14, The Broken Road

THE BOY

The crunch and grind of stone, the cracking of old wood. The awkward thump of a Hylian-sized body falling a short distance and landing less than gracefully.

“I’m okay!” Wild calls.

Legend stifles a sigh. Wild’s not used to conventional dungeons, he reminds himself. He’s even seen one of his shrines - the simple, clear layout, the obvious line of progression, the total lack of anything resembling a booby trap. It’s unfair to expect him to immediately be an expert at spotting tripwires or pitfalls.

Still. This is the third time in an hour.

When he peers over the edge Wild is pouting at the walls - unharmed, as promised, just sulking because the stone is too smooth for him to climb. “Need a hand?” Legend calls, only slightly sarcastically.

“No, but a rope would be nice,” Wild returns with undue cheer.

At least once he has something to brace himself with he is quick to clamber out. Legend unties the rope from the support pillar he’d used while Wild dusts himself off. “You gotta be more careful, man,” he says over his shoulder. “Next time we come across one I’ll teach you, the panels look different if -”

“Oh no I saw this one,” Wild interrupts.

“Okay but it’s better to spot them before you fall in -”

“I did!” Wild interrupts again. “I tripped it on purpose!”

Legend experiences a moment of complete disbelief. “Why?!”

“To see what it did!”

“Wh- the same thing it did the other three times! Dump you in a pit! Do you really need to experience that more than once?!”

“Well sure! How do you know it always does the same thing if you don’t check? What if the next one has a treasure chest at the bottom!”

“What if the next one has SPIKES at the bottom?!”

Wild frowns at him. “Don’t be silly, Legend. That would be dangerous.”

Legend is going to strangle him. However, if he does it here, he won’t have any evidence it was justified when he gets back to the others and has to explain where Wild is. They just have to meet up, let Wild present his absolutely asinine thought process, and THEN he can kill him. Twilight might even help.

Having a plan calms him. Just get through the next couple of rooms, the hallways should converge again shortly, and -

Crunch-skreeeeee-THUMP.

“WILD!”

“I had to check!”
