    Summary

    “Stressed, yeah. She looks like she's boutta pluck her feathers out.”

    “Might've,” Warriors says. “Looking a bit thin over here.”

    “Well, that ain't good.” Twilight purses his lips. Warriors keeps petting the bird absently, neatly arranging her feathers into straighter lines. She hooks her giant beak around his shoulder. “I'll tell Sun about it. Sky's off recently, have ya noticed?”

    “I have, but I wasn't sure if I was imagining it,” Warriors says. He frowns thoughtfully. “Sky's normal and Sky's off are remarkably similar. I worry he's bottling something up.”

    Crimson lets out a mournful little noise. Twilight's face twists into a concerned grimace. “…Do ya remember how Sky said Loftwings are extensions of their souls?”

    “I do,” Warriors says. Realization dawns in his eyes. “Wait, do you think…”

    Sometimes it's easy enough to put two and two together. What's difficult, Twilight is finding, is dealing with the answer found.

    Summary

    “We're too late,” Sky croaks, voice dry.

    “There's more to do,” Warriors responds. His voice is kind, strangely so. “We can still save a lot of people.”

    It hits Sky, then, that this is what Warriors deals with on a near regular basis. He's an army captain. Sky's seen the memorials in the man's era. He's seen the casualty counts. He'd just never realized the magnitude of each number engraved into stone, usually four or, occasionally, five digits long. Both civilian and military casualties.

    He tries to imagine ten thousand people. His head spins.

    Five instances – some serious, some funny – of Warriors being seen through Sky's eyes.

    Summary

    “Malon?” Warriors questions.

    Time opens his eye once again. Malon’s staring straight at him, cheeks flushed and turning more red by the second. He doesn’t know where it’s come from, but the heated stare makes his own ears start to warm. “Darling?”

    She stomps over, sweeping her muddied skirts up into a bunch, grabs his face and then kisses him hard on the mouth. Warriors whistles. Wolfie imitates the sound, jumping up onto the couch next to the man.

    “You,” she says, breathlessly, when she pulls away, “are going to be such a good dad.”

    Time didn't expect to experience fatherhood when he'd joined this new adventure. Then again, life liked throwing curveballs at him. (Three times Time experiences fatherhood while in the Chain, and the first time Malon notices it)

    Summary

    “She bestowed upon him a green tunic—the sign of the legendary hero. Link did not believe himself worthy of the honor, but he was determined to help…”

    ~ ~ ~

    Warriors was no stranger to adversity. The War Across the Ages had scarred him and broke him down more than anything had before. He would even say that it brought out the worst in him.

    Still, the war had refined him. It sharpened him, tempered him into the capable hero his kingdom needed. It led him to lifelong friends and allies that he couldn’t imagine his life without.

    But even with an army of friends at his back, what could Warriors possibly do when his fiercest battles weren’t physical?

    ~A deep dive into Warriors’s search for healing, and how Sky has something to do with it.
