Time looked around as he watched various members of the chain mount loftwings. Sky's crimson loftwing held him, as well as Wind and Four. There were six other loftwings with their bonded skyloftians with them that were also being mounted with Warriors, Legend, Hyrule, Twilight and now himself as he worked to mount the loftwing set to take them all down to the surface to investigate sightings of black blooded monsters. Time couldn't help but pause for a moment, as he then looked around once more, recounting all the heads. 8 heroes, including himself, all on loftwings now. Where was...
-
Twilight yelling in stress no doubt: Wild! Don't you even think about it!
-
Time turning his head to see Wild standing far closer to the edge of the sky island they were on than anyone else. The hero of the Wild donning, if he recalled correctly, his gliding set, the strange bird shaped mask covering his face. Time could see that Wild was very plainly excited about the flight down to the surface, and obviously wanted to partake in the descension to the surface without the aid of a loftwing and it's rider.
-
The moment Wild heard Twilight yell his name, the hero flinched as if he was a child being caught trying to sneak a snack. The act between both of Time's descendants made him smile a little in amusement. He shared Twilight's mindset of course, absolutely not thrilled at the idea of Wild jumping from this impossibly high place and falling to the surface without some sort of safety measure that the loftwings would bring.
-
Time watched as Twilight began to shift to dismount the loftwing he was on, in an attempt to wrangle Wild and get him onto the lone loftwing with its rider meant for him.
-
Time: Pup!
-
Twilight halting in his movement to turn to Time.
-
Time: Stay where you are.
-
Twilight: But Wild...
-
Twilight was stopped mid-complaint by a hand raised by Time, in a gesture that said 'Let me handle it'
-
Time looked back over at Wild, who was now staring at him. Even hidden by the mask, Time you clearly see discouragement in the young man's face. He could tell that Wild was already aware of what he was going to say, and slowly backed away from the edge, and moved towards the loftwing meant for him.
-
Time was relieved for a moment when he saw that it didn't really need to escalate into forcing him to actually order Wild to mount the loftwing. However, the moment quickly was over and Time recalled a conversation with the Rito that was Wild's adopted father. 'We Rito live as free as the winds that carry us. Link, embodies that want and love for freedom even more than any Rito alive.'
-
That conversation was what prompted Time to stop giving so many limitations to Wild that he would have normally given. He gave the boy the freedom he desired and watched as he grew more capable than he ever did under a more strict ruleset.
-
Time: Sky!
-
Sky looked over towards Time.
-
Time looking over and giving a smile: It would seem that we made a mistake and asked for one too many loftwings.
-
Time moved to point at the one Wild was next to now, which caused the Hero of the Wild to stop in his tracks.
-
Time: Please tell that rider and his loftwing that don't need his assistance in descending to the surface, but we may call upon him when we may have to ascend.
-
Wild staring in confusion before slowly raising that bird shaped mask. His bright blue eyes morphing from confusion to utter elation within a fraction of a second. Time, ignoring Twilight's sputter of panic, gave a smile to Wild.
-
Time: Do me a favor, fire a fire arrow into the air when you land, so we'll know where to rendezvous with you.
-
Wild almost unable to contain his excitement: You mean...
-
Time nodded: Go fly.
-
With a holler Wild sprinted back towards the edge of the sky island and without hesitation, leapt off the edge, ignoring the panicked and confused shouts from the skyloftians around.
-
Time shaking his head in amusement: No need to worry about him, that being said, how about we make our way down and meet him at the surface?
