Chapter 5: Welcome to Lon Lon Ranch!

(A/N: Twilight and Tyra FINALLY meet Malon. Malon learns about their pasts. Time and Malon watch Tyra sing. Tyra gets some visitors-maybe? This chapter mostly follows/ plays out just like the Malon side story by JoJo.)

**DISCLAIMER: The song used within this chapter is not mine nor is it meant to connect the movie/artist to this story. And there will be a couple of reminders to make it clear. Sorry if that annoys you but it’s what I did so no one thinks it’s a crossover.**

Tyra’s POV:

Since I had been walking behind pa I quickly and secretly took off my wolf pelt and put it in one of my bags before quickly using my powers to hide my Twili markings. (A/N: Tyra can use her powers to change her appearance as an effective way to go under cover and sneak around).

After I do this I hear from Legend and Warriors respectively “It’s not Zelda, pay up.”

“Ah. Cheater, you somehow knew.” I roll my eyes before moving to stand next to pa as he quietly expresses his delight at finally meeting Malon. ‘I feel the same way pa. I thought I’d never meet grandma Malon while I’m still alive.’

“Everyone this is my wife Malon.” Grandma Malon reveals what I already knew. I knew grandpa Time wrote about us in his letters to Malon. “Welcome to Lon Lon Ranch.”

Time and Malon lead us inside the house. As soon as we’re all inside the other’s start reminiscing about how home always feels like home even though they’re all different. ‘I agree, but that’s only because I’m here with Time, Malon, and pa. For me, home is where the ones I love are.’

“You were right dear, they definitely are their own persons.” Grandma Malon snaps me out of my thoughts before they could linger on the rest of my family back home. Soon Malon starts making her way over to the rest of us to properly meet us. She starts with Sky and Hyrule, before moving over to Warriors, pa, and I. “Well, you look like a respectful knight in shining armor.”

“I like her.” Typical egotistical Warriors.

“That’s the last thing you needed t’ hear.” Pa and I both said at the same time. As soon as we say that grandma Malon turns her attention to the both of us. When our eyes meet I could see stars in her eyes. She started with pa first. ‘Poor pa.’ I thought laughing. Malon grabs pa’s face with both hands effectively squishing his face. I quickly glance over to Time and see him just barely holding back his laughter while watching the interaction between pa and grandma Malon.

“Now that’s more like it! *excited laugh* A strong boy like you couldn’t grow like this in no castle-town! *giggle* Spirit of a Hero, blood of a knight, but this one’s got the build of a farmer!” I hold back my laughter. Malon has no idea yet how right she is.

“Uh, heh, yes actually.” When pa says that grandma Malon’s eyes shined brighter, which I did not think possible.

Narrators POV:

“Ya need t’ tell me later how long you’ve been a farmer, alright?” When Twilight looked Malon in the eyes he knew she was serious, and that it was not really a question, but also not a command. “Of course, I’d love to.” With that Malon moved on to Tyra.

“My husband told me a bit about you. My dear, you’re beautiful. I can tell you got good genes in ya! Your parents must be so proud of you! And by the looks of it you’ve got strong spirit and strength from whoever your father is, as well as the build of a farmer!” Tyra blushed when Malon said she was beautiful. Both Tyra and Twilight get embarrassed when praised and complimented.

When Time turned his attention away from his protégé and turned towards the kitten he had to do a double take. ‘Where is Tyra’s wolf pelt and what happened to her markings?’ For a moment Time was confused until Tyra looked at him and winked.

‘Oh. I understand now.’ Tyra was hiding her markings and removed her wolf pelt to help Time surprise Malon. If she didn’t hide her markings and remove her wolf pelt, then Malon would easily find out that Twilight and Tyra are their descendants before Time could reveal it to her. “I’m also a farmer.”

Once Tyra said this Malon’s eyes shined even brighter which didn’t seem possible to Time, Twilight, and Tyra until Malon proved them wrong. Malon repeated the same thing she said to Twilight with Tyra. And Tyra happily agreed to share that with Malon. After that Malon meet everyone else. “Where’s your father?”

“Delivering in town. You know him, he’ll take his time. So I’m glad we have this many guests.”

*One hour later*

Time finds Tyra alone in the barn brushing Rosamond, Twilight stepped out for a moment, he walks over to Tyra. Once he’s close enough Rosamond gently head butts Time, before he gently pets her nose. “Hello Time, everything alright?” Tyra asks breaking the silence.

“Everything’s fine, just wanted to thank you for hiding your markings and putting away your wolf pelt so Malon doesn’t figure it out before I reveal it to her.” Time whispered to his descendant.

“Of course. I knew when I first joined that Malon hadn’t met the other’s yet, I planned to do this all along. Now shoo before Malon finds ya and gets suspicious.” Tyra quickly whispers back.

“Alright, just don’t you and Twilight forget to take breaks. We don’t need you two collapsing from exhaustion.”

“Yes sir!” Time rolls his eye at that but laughs anyway. As Time leaves Twilight returns. “What did you and Time talk about?”

“Nothing too important. He wants us t’ make sure we take some breaks so we’re not ‘collapsing from exhaustion’ as he put it.” Twilight laughs a little at the impression of Time his daughter did. “That impression was better than the captains’. Good job kitten.”

“Thanks. You know, I think I should start trying t’ get used to calling you by your Hero title. For when we’re in towns and villages. Otherwise we’ll be getting weird looks, ya know?” Twilight thought about this for a moment. Tyra does have a point most people won’t understand it and give them weird looks. ‘All Malon seems to know is that one of the other Links -not including Time, Wind, or Four- is Tyra’s father. But she doesn’t know who and probably won’t know who.’

“That’s a good idea. Any reason why your markings are gone?”

“I felt really conscious about them when meetin’ Malon and hid them with my powers.” Twilight gives her a look that says he only believes half of what she said. “I can’t say anything other than you’ll know later. But there is a reason.”

“ Sigh. Who else noticed?” Twilight asked because he knows he’s not the only one who would have noticed that Tyra’s markings are gone. “Only Time, Wild, and Four. The other’s have not noticed.”

Twilight thought on this, of course Time knows because Tyra likely told Time the reason why unless it was his idea to possibly prank the others. A few nights ago when Tyra had that nightmare about his death, when Wild went back to sleep Tyra, Twilight, and Time were the only ones still up.

Tyra told them how she can use her powers to change her appearance and showed them how it works. Tyra can basically change almost everything about her. She can change her hair color, hair length, her face, her voice, her body shape, the size of her chest - which she did not show only told because, ew that’s inappropriate - but she can’t change what’s between her legs.

She told them that one time she disguised herself as a man, and somehow got into a fight with another man. And since the man thought she was a guy he went to kick her where it would hurt a guy. Well it didn’t work because she can’t change her gender and she can only look like a guy and so he blew her cover by doing that. (A/N: She repaid him by kicking him where it hurts before knocking him unconscious)

‘Does Time want to prank the others?’ Twilight’s not hurt he’s potentially not in on the prank, what are you talking about. Twilight can only keep secrets when pulling pranks and Tyra’s the same way. “It’s not a prank p- Twilight.” Tyra assures Twilight.

“Then what is it? Tyra you’re bad at keeping secrets…” The words ‘just like me’ went unsaid but Tyra knew what he meant to say.

“I know. Sigh. Twilight, it’s not mine t’ tell, but I promise you will know later.”

“Alright, I trust you.” Twilight knows he won’t get an answer out of his stubborn daughter and even more stubborn ancestor, so he lets it go. “What’d you tell Four and Wild when they asked about yer markings?” Looking over to Tyra he sees a huge wolfish grin spread across her face. “What’d you do?”

Tyra stops what she’s doing and walks over to whisper in Twilight’s ear. “I pranked ‘em. I managed t’ convince them that I didn’t know my markings disappeared.” After she tells him they both start laughing like madmen. “I also said that I don’t know how they could disappear.” She quietly added after they both stopped laughing.

Twilight just shakes his head with a smile on his face. A few minutes later Twilight and Tyra finish brushing their horses and take them back outside the barn and over to the fenced area where the other horses were grazing. All around the outside of the long oval fence was what looked to be a small race track for horseback riding.

Once Twilight’s Epona and Rosamond were settled Tyra and Twilight decided to chop some wood since it looked like the firewood supply was starting to get low (and needed to get done). Almost thirty minutes into chopping wood from across the ranch Tyra and Twilight see Legend walking over to Wind and Warriors holding the captain’s bag of rupees.

“I’ve got a bag of rupees here for anyone willing to handle the cuccos.”

“Those were my rupees, not to be used to KILL someone.” Twilight chuckles a bit at what was happening, while Tyra shook her head in disappointment. “I’ll do it! I love these tiny birds.” Sky shows up out of nowhere and picks up a cucco. Legend throws the bag of rupees on the ground before stomping off. “What? You afraid?”

Tyra’s had enough of this and picks up a very calm cucco and walks up to Legend stopping him in his tracks. “Legend, if you want cuccos t’ like you, you have t’ treat ‘em kindly.” Before Legend could open his mouth to say anything Tyra shoves the cucco not his arms. As soon as the cucco is in Legend’s hand the cucco starts attacking him before he even did anything. Behind Legend, Warriors, Wind, and Sky are bent over laughing at Legend, and behind Tyra, Twilightwas chuckling at the whole situation.

Not far from Twilight, over by the door to the barn Time and Malon were exiting the barn with Time’s Epona who was just freshly brushed. Time and Malon have been watching the whole time. Malon was surprised at how quickly that calm cucco turned aggressive as soon as Legend started holding it.

Tyra lets out an exasperated laugh before grabbing the cucco from Legend’s hands to put it down. As soon as Tyra grabs the cucco it’s calm again. Everyone except Tyra and Twilight were shocked by what they just witnessed. “HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!” Legend, Sky, Wind, and Warriors all yelled at the same time. Tyra stands back up and looks at them calmly and unhelpfully says,

“I’m nice to animals.” Then she walks back over to Twilight ignoring anymore questions from the four of them. When Tyra rejoins Twilight where they were chopping firewood she sees the exasperated fond look in his face.

Both Time and Malon were surprised at how quickly the cucco calmed down when Tyra grabbed it from Legend’s hands. Malon turns to Time to get an answer on what just happened. Time sees the look Malon’s giving him, and he knows what she wants to know.

“First time I’ve ever seen Tyra calm a cucco. But, she is very nice to animals and loves animals.” That wasn’t the answer Malon wanted but that was the only answer Time had. Malon lets it go knowing Time didn’t have an answer and they bring Epona over to where Twilight and Tyra’s horses are. After they pass Twilight turns to his daughter. “What was your goal?”

“I actually wanted t’ help ‘im stop being scared of a small bird.” That made a lot of sense, if Legend stopped being scared of cuccos then maybe they won’t attack him.

“You know that now they’ll call both of us animal whisperers.”

“Well, that’s not far from the truth.” Tyra whispers to Twilight so only he hears. Chuckling he shakes his head. “You’re not wrong. Just be careful.”

“I will, promise.”

*Time skip (Dinner)*

Time just left the kitchen to go clean up when Malon and the other’s start talking. Malon tells them that Time has told her every bit of information including his darkest moments in his journey and that she knows more than them - well except Tyra. Because Tyra knows everything Malon knows and more. But Tyra ain’t saying anything. “Try us.”

“Well, for one thing I know how old he is. His age on the inside.”

‘In my timeline his age on the inside was still aging while he waited for pa to start his journey. And it’s still aging since his spirit has been around since I was born.’ Tyra thought to herself.

“Really? Tell us.”

‘Seriously?’

“No way! He’d be upset. I can handle his silence… But… not that sort of silence.”

“Well, we guess 60.”

“60? Ha! Oh my, no not 60.”

‘None of you will be around him when his age on the inside is 60- well except maybe pa when he’s a baby, maybe.’ Even in her thoughts Tyra will not put any focus on Time’s mental age. Tyra promised Time that she would NEVER reveal it to anyone, not even Twilight.

(A/N: If JoJo is not going to mention Time’s mental age then I’m not assigning him one AT ALL! Haha. Sorry not sorry. This was funny. I had to do this, please forgive me or don’t I don’t care.)

*Time skip (Nighttime- after dinner)*

Tyra, Twilight, and the other’s are settling in for the night when Time comes in. “We’ve never had this many guests at once it’s a bit cozy. But I’ve seen you all put up with worse.” The other’s quickly reassure Time that they’re fine and how hospitable he and Malon have been the whole day. Twilight’s sitting on the floor with his back against the wall with Tyra’s head in his lap, as he’s running his fingers through her hair getting rid of any knots she missed when she brushed her hair.

Time turns his attention to the two with a carefree smile on his face that neither miss. “Now then, there’s a conversation the three of us have been putting off for sometime now.” Tyra nods already knowing where Time’s going with this.

“Uh… y- yeah.” Tyra and Twilight get up and follow Time into the hallway out of earshot of the other’s. Time turns to Twilight and Tyra before mentioning how Time and Twilight are not only related by spirit but by blood and quickly says, “And now we know that Tyra also shares blood with us. Do either of you have any doubt?”

Corroded armor covered in vines and a skeletal face with one red eye quickly flashes through Twilight’s mind. A golden Poe in Hylian form wearing a white tunic with a black undertunic, looking at her with one loving blue eye and a joyful smile quickly flashes through Tyra’s mind. “No. Without a doubt.” Tyra and Twilight say together.

While Tyra says it with determination along with joyful pride, Twilight says it with serious determination. Seeing this Time and Tyra both decide to tease Twilight. “So intense! Calm down.”

“Pa, hears a question and gives serious answer.”

“I am calm. Stop making fun of me.”

“Sorry pa, we couldn’t help it. You walked into that one.”

“She’s right. I just wanted to hear ya reconfirm. I should tell you both, Malon knows. She doesn’t know which one of you boys is the descendant and Tyra’s father. I’ve had her guessing all day. I don’t think she figured it out. Tyra hid her markings as to not ruin the surprise.”

“What you knew?!”

“Of course I did. I told ya I know everything that’s to happen on this journey and this was one of them. Although I didn’t know exactly when we would first arrive at Lon Lon Ranch.” For a moment Twilight forgot his daughter was from the future of his timeline and that for her this journey is history.

Twilight lets out a heavy groan when he remembers that and Time and Tyra chuckle at his reaction. Walking into the kitchen Tyra sees Malon anxiously waiting sitting at the table. Time walks in first followed by Twilight and Tyra.

As Tyra closes the door to the kitchen behind her Malon turns around and smiles. “I knew it. Aww. Come here let me get a good look at both of you. Ya’ll’re lucky you don’t have his nose.” Twilight lightly chuckled as Tyra giggles.

Teasingly -kind of- Time says, “It’s a shame really.” At that Tyra chuckles.

“You both look as different as the other’s- not including each other, you both look a lot alike. How big is this family tree?”

‘Not as big as you think. Pa’s your grandson and I’m your great granddaughter. But I can’t tell you that.’ Thought Tyra. Tyra started twirling her hair but quickly stops knowing if Time or Twilight saw her they would know she’s hiding something.

“Well, we can’t say for certain. But it must be many generations because any heroic deeds have obscured into ancient legends.” Before continuing Time moves in between Twilight and Tyra putting his hands on their heads and ruffling their hair. Twilight freezes for a moment as no one’s done that since he was a kid and did not expect that from Time.

Tyra only giggles as that was an almost everyday occurrence -before her father died- by either Time’s spirit or Twilight. “It’d take centuries to water down that red hair.” When Time moves over to Malon holding her in a loving way Twilight and Tyra give soft smiles. ‘I feel so bad about not telling the truth but maybe it’s a good thing? Because then grandpa Time won’t know before his death that his daughter never knows the full story of her father.’

During her childhood Time’s spirit told her some of his regrets after his death. Time told her that Malon was so broken by his death she could barely talk about him to their daughter/ Twilight’s mother. ‘Looking back it seemed that grandpa Time didn’t know that his daughter never really knew his story before he died. I wish I could scream the truth for all to hear but I can’t. The full truth will bring both joy and pain to everyone involved.’

“And you three are risking your lives out there!” Tyra winced when Malon yelled snapping her out of her thoughts. A small argument ensues between Time and Malon. ‘I ‘member grandpa Time telling me about the time he came home missing his right eye still bleeding. Grandma Malon was so mad at him but also really worried sick over his wellbeing. Afterwards, he couldn’t leave the ranch until after his eye was properly healed.’

Time then moves back behind Twilight and Tyra grabbing them by their shoulders (Time’s right hand grabbing Twilight’s right shoulder and his left hand grabbing Tyra’s left shoulder), then pulls them in close to him. “Darling you should see them on the battlefield. I’m so proud!” Twilight feels embarrassed and happy hearing Time say that.

“That’s what I’m afraid of! If they and the boys have your same spirit, I’m already worried sick!” As Malon mumbles something about armor and gear Time looks to them for some help. Tyra quickly jumps to helping Time calm Malon. “Rest assured, we’ve held our own well enough, promise.” Twilight nods.

“Yes, have a seat.” Malon makes sure to tell Time that they will finish their conversation later, before sitting down to listen to Twilight and Tyra.

“So tell me about yourselves dears.” Malon starts the new conversation. Twilight decides to go first. “Well, I don’t ‘member too much of my early childhood, I lost both my parents when I was young. Then I ‘member getting lost in within Faron Woods. I ‘member I was 8 when I first got to Faron Woods and my birthday was in a few days.”

“How did you survive alone in the Woods where monsters may have been lurking?” Malon asked worriedly.

“Uh, there was this friendly wolf that found me in Faron Woods, he protected me, made sure I ate and guided me through Faron Woods until we found Ordon Village. Once we reached Ordon Village the wolf left and went back to Faron Woods.” Twilight sighs happily.

“As I was about to enter the village my adoptive father Rusl was exiting the village to patrol Faron Woods for any danger. Found me and he and his wife Uli took me in and raised me.” Twilight finished. Malon and Time are shocked that a wolf helped Twilight through Faron Woods to Ordon Village where he would be safe.

“And you spent your birthday with this wolf?” Time asked. Twilight nervously chuckles scratching the back of his neck. “Yes. It was nice, there was no cake but, I ate fish and meat that I cooked on the fire I lit- I already knew how a I ‘member camping with my mother before she died and taught me how to light a fire.” Twilight paused before continuing.

“The wolf howled in celebration of my birthday and other small animals came and played with me. Overall, it was a great day and I’m so thankful to that wolf.” Answered Twilight. Tyra smiled and rubbed his arm, he turned and smiled before ruffling her hair, and turning back to Time and Malon.

“Did ya ever see the wolf again and thank him?” Asked Malon.

“Yes, I saw him for a couple of years until I was 13; after that I didn’t see him until I was 18. I think he knew I was grateful to him for being there whenever I needed.” Malon and Time smile thinking about how Twilight had always been an animal lover and that they’re grateful to that wolf for protecting and caring for Twilight. Twilight then turns the conversation away from himself to Tyra before he talks about his journey. Tyra sees what he’s doing and goes along with it.

“So I was born in Ordon Village, I can’t reveal who my mother is as it could change history- but I had a great childhood. And the wolf pa talked about comes back and was there for my whole childhood.” Tyra starts off. Malon and Time are shocked at how the wolf was still there. Twilight on the other hand understood and knew what Tyra meant by that.

‘How?! Why? Isn’t he supposed to be in the afterlife- wait -he knew about what was to come in Tyra’s future and was worried about her!’ Twilight thought. The only other reason Shade/Time would stay would be for Tyra, to help her. Twilight mentally smacked himself for not realizing this sooner. “Time you’ve told Malon about pa’s shapeshifting?” Tyra quickly asks. Both Time and Malon nod, as Time doesn’t know much about it he only told Malon Twilight can shape shift into a wolf.

“Well, due t’ all the times pa shapeshifted his Hylian DNA and his wolf DNA combined as the lines blurred and when I was born, I had the ability t’ freely shapeshift and have the same markings as him. I’m basically an Hylian/wolf hybrid. When I was a baby I got really sick- deathly sick -everyone was starting t’ lose hope- but not pa.” Tyra pauses taking a deep breath.

“Pa went t’ the spirit spring of Ordona who protects Ordon Village and pleaded and prayed for me t’ be saved. Unfortunately, Ordona couldn’t help but she pleaded and prayed to the Goddess Hylia on pa’s behalf. Hylia was so moved by the love pa had for me that she agreed. Hylia healed me and gifted me some of her powers. No I do not have a triforce on my hand. I used my powers t’ hide my markings.” Tyra reveals her markings.

“I should also add that because I’m a Hylian/wolf hybrid, my wolf form can sometimes be dangerous for myself and those around me. I need t’ be careful with my anger. When I become enraged or angry the wolf inside me tries t’ break out and wreak havoc.” Tyra finishes. Malon takes a moment to think on what she’s been told. Her descendant’s daughter was born a hybrid, has to keep her emotions in check, and almost died before being saved and gifted powers by Hylia.

Out of all the oddities she’s been told by her husband, what Tyra just told her is on par with Termina’s moon. Which she didn’t think possible. When Malon glances at Time it’s clear he’s of the same mind as her.

“While I wish that never happened, I’m glad Hylia saved and gifted ya powers Tyra. You are a blessing from the Goddesses, truly. Now can I see your wolf forms? Tyra and Twilight nod happily. They both stand and move away from the table so both Time and Malon can see them transform. Twilight grabs his shadow crystal transforming first, before sitting on his hind legs waiting for Tyra.

When Tyra sees Twilight’s done transforming, she closes her eyes and focuses on her wolf form. Soon she’s surrounded by the same dark cloud that surrounded Twilight. Once the dark cloud clears Tyra’s sitting on her hind legs next to Twilight. ‘Oh. My. Goddesses! They are so cute! Twilight’s a dark blue-grayish wolf, with his beautiful cobalt blue eyes! And Tyra! Oh, Tyra’s a gorgeous white and light gray wolf, with her blueish- silver eyes!!’ Malon mentally squealed.

(A/N: Twilight’s eyes are a dark cobalt blue that is as deep as the ocean, while Tyra’s eyes are a light blueish-silver- mostly blue- that are as beautiful and shifting as a partly cloudy-few clouds in the sky-day)

“Aww, you two are beautiful and adorable! Come over ‘ere so I can pet y’all.” Twilight and Tyra happily go over to Malon. Time and Malon pushed their chairs back from the table so both Twilight and Tyra could move in front of them. Malon scratches them behind their ears with a big smile on her face. Soon Twilight and Tyra start licking Malon’s hands and arms.

“Haha! Stop! Hah! That- that tickles! Hahahaha..” Malon Laughs uncontrollably. Time sees this and chuckles. Soon they stop licking Malon and move over to Time silently asking for pets from him as well. If Malon wasn’t the one watching and it was the other seven Link’s, Time would not give in to petting them so easily. (A/N: Time around the other Links: won’t give pets until trapped underneath Wolfie (or Wolfie’s daughter). Time around only Malon: will give pets immediately)

Time should have seen it coming, should have- he didn’t -if they did it to Malon they would do it to him. Tyra and Twilight started licking Time’s hands and arms. If asked Twilight and Tyra’s answer would be ‘No one, not even Time can escape the love!’

They stopped when they finally got Time laughing- almost ten minutes straight of them licking Time. (A/N: Malon started laughing immediately when they started licking her) Once they all calmed down, Twilight and Tyra transformed back and sit down to continue talking.

Tyra talks about her teen to early young adult years. She even reveals Twilight’s death when she was 18 and her outburst within the Queen’s throne room. “That was the worst day of my life so far. My wolf side completely took over and I went red with pure rage and heartache at everything and everyone who angered me. I’m not proud of it but I’m not sorry for speaking my mind to that good for nothing Queen!” Tyra finishes.

After hearing everything many emotions were swirling around inside Malon. She was devastated learning about Twilight’s eventual death; angry at the Queen, heartbroken learning Tyra lost control of her wolf, and absolute pure rage at the Gerudo soldier’s who killed Twilight.

Malon can’t think of anything to say so she gets up and walks around the table and pulls Tyra into a tight and comforting hug. Tyra doesn’t say anything and hugs back with the same intensity, quietly sobbing in Malon’s arms. Seeing this Time and Twilight join the hug as well. They all stand there hugging for almost ten minutes before sitting back down. Once they were all seated Tyra’s story was done- well as done as she wanted.

Tyra left out anything regarding Time’s spirit/ golden poe- aside from his wolf form and not giving a LOT of details- or about Time’s story after he dies.

With that all the attention turns back to Twilight. Luckily while Tyra was talking he figured out the best way to talk about his journey to save Hyrule. He leaves out anytime he got brutally injured during his journey. Skimmed over his first transformation, by not mentioning the pain or being chained to the floor of his cell. Mentions that he fought giant monsters pretty much every time he competed a temple/dungeon.

“How long did it take t’ complete one?” Malon asked concerned. Twilight thought for a moment before answering.

“Took me around ten days to complete a temple/dungeon. I believe there was about 2-3 weeks of travel in between each one.” Twilight answered. That only made Malon worry more, she knows he handled himself well during his journey but fighting giant monsters is not easy- from what she’s been told. Tyra noticed right away how much information her father is leaving out.

‘He’s not mentioning Midna by name and is barely mentioning her at all. He’s not talking about any of the almost- fatal scars he has. Barely mentioning the Hero’s Shade as his mentor who taught him how to properly wield a sword. Not mentioning the hidden skills he learned at all. And most of all he’s not mentioning creating and fighting his own Dark Link.’ Tyra thought.

Tyra understands why her father is not mentioning any of those things to Time and Malon. The one thing Tyra focuses on that Twilight’s leaving out is his version of Dark Link, as she knows that at some point it will be revealed to the other’s- maybe not Malon though.

‘Sorry pa, Time and the other’s will eventually learn about that I’m sorry.’ Tyra knows that day was not one of Twilight’s proudest days, even though he came out of that as a better person thanks to Shade. Not long after they finish talking about Twilight’s journey they start talking about how to introduce Tyra’s wolf form to the other’s. “Aside from my husband, Wild, and Four, the other boys only know Twilight’s wolf form as ‘wolfie’ who’s a friendly wolf that’s helped you all during battles with monsters and comforted you all when you have nightmares. Did I get that right?” Malon asks.

“Yes, pa has had some bad reactions to his wolf form before this journey started. So he’s scared about how they would react when finding out.” Tyra explains to Malon. Malon then says that she doesn’t think the other’s would react negatively and that she understands why he’s hiding it.

“Are you going t’ hide yours as well darling?” Malon asks Tyra. Tyra doesn’t think long before answering. “Yes, I’ll hide mine as well. If they learn I have one they will start questionin’ if pa has one as well. I don’t want pa t’ be forced by them t’ reveal it ‘fore he’s ready. I’ll reveal mine when pa reveals his.” Malon and Time are impressed by what Tyra said confidently and also proud of her for doing what’s right.

“Well then, we’ll have to find a way to introduce your wolf form as ‘Wolfie’s’ daughter.” Started Time, bringing them back to the problem at hand.

Twilight nodded. “Knowin’ Warriors, he’ll jump t’ saying Tyra’s wolf form is ‘Wolfie’s’ lover.” Malon was surprised to hear this at first, but when she thought about it she wasn’t surprised anymore. Earlier in the day while everyone was working on the ranch she was walking past Warriors and Wind. Warriors was teasing Wind about a girl Wind helped in the last town they were in before coming to the ranch.

*Flashback*

“Stop talking about it Wars! She lost her cat, I found it for her and returned it to her. Nothing more!” Wind yelled at the captain. Warriors rolled his eyes. “Oh come on sailor it was so obvious! She fell in love when you found her car. So when’s the wedding?”

Wind let out a loud aggravated groan. “I’m done talking about this. Time! Warriors won’t stop teasing me and get back to working!” Wind yells for Time.

“Captain!” Time scolds. Warriors’ face goes pale with fear and rushes off to get to work.

*End of Flashback*

‘Warriors wouldn’t leave poor Wind alone until my Link got involved. Whenever he gives ‘is disappointed glare ya know ya messed up somethin’. Scary. But I love him.’

“True, unless as soon as Tyra shows up y’all immediately point out she’s ’Wolfie’s’ daughter.” Malon adds.

“Hmm, not sure Warriors will believe that.” Tyra says. All of them go silent thinking. What would be the best way to make sure the other’s know Tyra’s wolf form is Wolfie’s daughter. Soon Time speaks up. “Alright then, while you both are in your wolf forms, you’ll show father and daughter behavior.”

Malon, Twilight, and Tyra think on this for a moment. It’s a good idea, animals have certain tells that reveals if they are ‘lovers’ or ‘parent and baby’. The other’s may have to be told about the certain tells animals have. “That might work. While we’re transformed I could try an’ leave camp an’ pa could stop me. As he won’t want me t’ leave without ‘im there t’ protect me. That’s something I’ve seen lots of wild animals do with their young.”

“True, wild animals trust their mate(s) enough t’ be on their own. Parents always protect and care for their young.” Twilight adds. At that they all nod. Now that they’ve talked about that, Time’s finally found the courage to ask the questions that’s been on his mind for days now.

“Few more questions Tyra.” Time starts. Tyra nods giving Time the go ahead to ask his questions. “You said you know everything that’s to happen on this journey and after right?” Before Tyra can even answer Malon jumps in.

“Wait that’s true? What happens? Do any of the boys die?” Malon frantically asks so many questions and Time realizes his mistake. Time, Twilight, and Tyra calm her down and tell her that Tyra can’t reveal too much since it could change history. “Well, what I can tell ya is that everyone survives an’ defeat the shadow as that will not change at all.” At that Malon calms down and breathes a sigh of relief.

“Sorry ‘bout that dear, ask your questions.” Time kisses Malon’s forehead.

“It’s alright darling. Tyra how old was Twilight when you were born? Was he ready to be a father?” Tyra sat there for a moment thinking before she answered.

“Pa is currently 22. When this journey ends he will be 23. I will still be 21 as I joined the same day I turned 21.” Tyra starts off, confusing them with where she’s going with this. She takes a deep breath before continuing. “Four years after this journey ends, pa will marry my ma. Not long after they get married, ma will become pregnant with me. At this time pa will be 27, I’m not sure if when he first found out he was ready t’ be a father.”

Learning this Twilight blushes the same color as a red rupee. Revealing this should be fine as long as Ilia’s name is not mentioned at all. “But, when I was born an’ pa held me for the first time he was ready t’ be a father in that moment.”

“How old was Twilight when he died in the war when ya were 18?” Malon asked wanting to know and not wanting to know. Tyra took a shuddering breath. “Pa was 45 when he died. If he were still alive back home he would be 49 now.” Twilight didn’t know how to respond to that, but gave comforting support to his daughter.

Time also didn’t know what to say so he held Malon comforting her. Time couldn’t process what he learned. His descendant- his pup, becomes a father at 27 then dies in a war at 45. Time feels numb, not sad, not mad, just numb. Tyra feels bad for saying that, and wishes Twilight wasn’t in the room when she said it. Twilight hearing this might change history. They all take a while to calm down before Malon claps her hands together.

“Alright. Well, I believe we’ve all talked about every pressing matter. It’s time t’ get some rest.” They all stand up, hug and say goodnight with Twilight and Tyra leaving first. Once the door closes Malon turns to Time.

“They are so lovable. I feel a deeper connection t’ them than just ancestor an’ descendants. I feel as though they’re our son and granddaughter Link! Oh, I never want t’ let them go. I want them t’ stay here with us forever! And I wish father was here t’ meet them.” Time agrees with what Malon said- not really including the mention of Talon. He doesn’t want to say goodbye to them when this journey ends, but knows he has to. ‘Saying goodbye will be hard, but has to be done.’ Time thinks solemnly.

“Eh, Talon doesn’t believe half the stuff I tell him.”

Tyra’s POV:

As pa and I exit the kitchen I stop walking and pa notices turning back to me. “Everything alright kitten?” He asks worriedly. I sigh before answering.

“Yes, I’m fine pa. Just… need some fresh air is all. I won’t be long, promise.” Pa smiles softly nodding. (A/N: Twilight can see how emotionally exhausted his daughter is as he feels the same too, though not as much as Tyra is). “Alright, I trust ya. Just don’t leave the ranch.” He says nodding. Nodding I say, “I won’t, promise. Love ya, pa.” Before he can answer I exit the house heading over to where Rosamond was grazing earlier today.

I find the gate is unlocked, open it and walk to the center. Once I reach the center I take a deep breath.

Time’s POV:

As Malon and I are talking with me standing in front of her with my back to the kitchen door, I see out the window Tyra outside heading towards the small race track. “What is it?” Malon asks seeing me distracted. I move away from her and over to the window.

“Tyra’s outside.” Malon joins me at the window looking out.

“What’s she doing out there?”

“Not sure, but I’m going to find out.” I move away from the window heading for the door when Malon speaks up.

“Wait Link, I’m coming too!” Seeing the look on her face I know I can’t argue with her. I nod before exiting the house with my wife. Quietly we head over to where Tyra is. We hide close enough by her so we have a good view and hear what’s being said.

Tyra’s POV:

As I exhale I smell grandpa Time and Grandma Malon hiding near by. That’s fine they can watch and listen. ‘So far today has been the most exhausting day since I joined the other’s on this journey.’ I let out a heavy sigh.

“Tyra, when are ya gone learn t’ not shove down your feelings an’ pretend that everything’s alright.” I scold myself. After saying that out loud a golden light briefly flashes in my eyes before vanishing and revealing two golden wolf poes. My eyes widen as I immediately recognize the wolves. ‘Hello pa, grandpa Time. I’ve missed you.’

Narrators POV:

Time’s about to go and jump out to save Tyra from the poes before Tyra does something that stops him. “Hello, have you both been following me all this time?” Tyra says as she gets down on both knees and hugs them.

Both wolves did their best to return the hug. “First time in four years I’ve seen you both. What took so long?” Tyra whispered angrily at them. They both look ack at her with the best apologetic looks wolves can give. ‘So they tried but couldn’t until now?’ Tyra thought. Sighing Tyra forgave them by hugging them again whispering, “ I forgive you.”

Hearing that both wolves lick her face, surprisingly getting her face wet with wolf poe saliva. Chuckling she cleans her face. Tyra then stands and starts singing one of the lullabies her father sang to her after a nightmare.

The song is ONLY being used as a lullaby and as a connection between Tyra and those she knows and cares about. Tyra has NO connection to Elsa from Frozen, All is found has no secret meaning within this story!*)

Where the North wind meets the sea

As she starts singing both wolves sit down and start howling along with her.

There’s a river full of memory

Singing always helps Tyra calm down.

Sleep, my darling, safe and sound

Tyra and the wolves are singing and howling -respectively- under the crescent moon leaving Time and Malon awestruck.

For in this river all is found

As Tyra was singing and the wolves were howling, all the surrounding fairies started dancing around her and the wolves.

In her waters deep and true

There was also a soft golden glow around Tyra.

Lie the answers and a path for you

Dive down deep into her sound

“Link, she almost looks like a Goddess.” Malon whispers.

But not too far or you’ll be drowned

Time quietly hums nodding in agreement.

Yes, she will sing to those who’ll hear

And in her song all magic flows

‘The kitten looks absolutely ethereal when singing.’

But can you brave what you most fear?

Their full attention was on Tyra, no longer noticing the fairies nor the wolves.

Can you face what the river knows?

Where the North wind meets the sea

Time and Malon are so captivated by Tyra’s ethereal singing that the only thought running through their minds was that they were watching either an angel or a Goddess in Hylian form singing their blessing upon the world.

There’s a mother full of memory

Come, my darling, homeward bound

When all is lost, then all is found

Unfortunately, the song soon ends, and when Tyra opens her eyes she notices the two golden wolf poes are gone. As Tyra turns to head back inside that’s when Time and Malon come out and walk over to her. They compliment Tyra on her singing, saying it was beautiful and ethereal.

Soon the three of them head back inside. When Tyra enters the room she sees that Twilight and Sky are both still awake. “You alright kitten? Sky was worried.”

“Yes, I’m alright.”

“So what was that conversation about?” Sky asks as they get comfortable, with Tyra cuddling up with Twilight.

Tyra and Twilight both answer saying, “Nothing, really.” With that all three fall asleep.

Chapter 4: Malon?

(A/N: The chain explores the village, do some training. Warriors gets stuck in his thoughts and has Time, Twilight, and Tyra help him. Is it time for the chain and Tyra to finally meet Time’s wife Malon?)

Narrators POV:

The next morning after Tyra’s nightmare, the chain spent the day exploring the village, seeing as they were too tired to do so yesterday after stocking up on supplies. Warriors, Hyrule, Wind, and Four went to check out the blacksmith and see what was there. Wild and Legend went looking around the market.

Sky woke up late, and met up with wild and Legend for a bit, before heading off to go pray at a goddess statue by the village’s small church for Hylia.

Time, Twilight, and Tyra, after walking around for a bit decided to head into the forest to do some training (A/N: They didn’t stray too far from the village). They chose a nice quiet area with not too many trees around. Time wanted them to have some privacy but still be able to spot any danger that came lurking.

Warriors’ POV:

Tyra seemed a bit off this morning, she was more quiet than usual. ‘She has the classic “Link trait” -as the nine of us like to call it- of going silent when you’re trying to convince yourself that you’re okay whether mentally or physically doesn’t matter.’

But she did seem to cheer up whenever someone came over to give her a hug.

‘Ha! Leg had to be forced by traveler to go up and hug her. Though he didn’t put up much of a fight as I thought he would.’ Maybe he wanted to give her a hug but was nervous/ shy about it. Though when Time and Twilight saw Vet give Tyra a hug (which was proper) all they did was smile.

‘Tyra, ranch hand, and the old man didn’t join in on teasing Legend with the rest of us. I wonder why?’ Wind, Hyrule, Four, Wild, Legend, Sky, and I all finished what we were doing by midday. Time had told us (minus Sky- Sky was told by Wild) that he, Twi, and Tyra were going into the forest to do some training.

So we decided to join them. when we arrived to where they were training we were shocked still at what we saw.

*Ten minutes Prior*

Narrators POV:

Time, Twilight, and Tyra all finished their warmups of going through the motions of their fighting. When Time thought of an idea that would spice up their training.

“Kitten, you’re ambidextrous like Twilight right?” Time asked. Tyra turned to Time with a smile on her face.

“Yes, pa trained me t’ be ambidextrous since I was young. I’d say starting at 4 he started training me that. Why?” She questioned. Time and Twilight were once again shocked by her answer to the question and just by her in general.

‘I guess Twi/ I truly knew that she would need this skill.’ Time and Twilight both thought at the same time. Time quickly recovered from his shock asking the question he really wanted to ask Tyra.

“I thought it would be more interesting to see if while sparring you can fend off against both me and Twilight. What do you say?” Tyra thinks about this, she’s not sure how Time wants her to fend off him and Twilight.

So she asks, “Do ya mean by sword and shield?” Time nods.

“You should be able to quickly change which hand is holding your sword and which hand is holding your shield.” Tyra thinks a bit more on this. Then she remembers the years leading up to and after her father’s death; how she secretly trained herself how to fight wielding two swords.

When she first started she struggled so much in figuring out the best way to move along with both swords while swinging the swords effectively. Over time she developed the best way to fight with two swords.

The technique basically combined a sword dance with her style of fighting. Which consisted of flips, twirls, jump strikes, and splits. “I ‘ave a better idea.” Tyra starts. Time and Twilight look at her curiously.

“Prey tell.” Says Time. Who’s not sure where she’s going with this.

“Round when I was 14 maybe 15, I started secretly teachin myself how to fight with two swords.” Time and Twilight’s eyebrows jump into their hairlines. As Twilight’s eyes and Time’s one eye go wide in surprise. ‘That’s not what I expected.’ They both thought.

Tyra sheepishly smiled as she scratched the back of her neck. “Heh, I wasn’t any good when I started. But, over time I figured out how to wield two swords in a fight. When pa would take me on some of his missions ‘round Hyrule taking out monsters.”

“They were terrorizin’ people. An’ when pa would get injured I would pick up his dropped sword. An’ along with my sword I would take out the remaining monsters with little to no injuries saving pa!” Tyra explained.

After learning that they had to test out Tyra’s abilities wielding two swords. Time handed her his smaller sword keeping his Goron sword. Then the three of them got in position for the sparring match. Tyra was in the middle with Twilight in front of her and Time behind her.

Soon the match started with Twilight making the first strike. Tyra easily blocked his attack with one sword while twisting her body. Her right side which was holding her Ordon sword which had blocked the attack was closer to her father. They stood there in a temporary stalemate before Twilight backed up from her.

Then she heard Time move to make his attack. Just as he’s about make contact with her, she quickly turns around and holds up both swords crossed in a X above her head to stop Time’s attack.

Time tries to use his strength to knock her down on to her back. But she shifts her feet to be more steady underneath her and put all her body weight into staying up right and all her strength into pushing Time back. Tyra succeeds in pushing Time away from her, then in a spinning kick that hits him square in the abdomen, she knocks him down to the ground.

The three of them continue this song and dance with neither Time nor Twilight managing a hit on her even once, for ten long minutes. When the rest of the chain arrived they are surprised to see the three of them sparring together.

(A/N: They expected to see only Tyra and Twilight sparring with Time watching and coaching from the sidelines.)

Time and Twilight have both worked up a sweat over the last ten minutes. While Tyra has not even broken a sweat the entire time. The scene that shocked the others is Tyra in the middle of Time and Twilight having blocked an attack from both of them on either side of her.

Time attacked from her right and Twilight attacked from her left. Tyra was holding both of them back and steady, while Time and Twilight were struggling to knock her down and get even one hit on her. They stayed like that for a few more moments before Tyra disarms both of them in a twirl moving both her body and swords.

Tyra then places the flat sides of each sword lightly against Time and Twilight’s unprotected necks; right under their chins. The entire area was silent as no one knew what to say. Time and Twilight are frozen staring owlishly at Tyra with their mouths gaping. A long moment passes before Wars, Legend, Sky, Four, Wind, Hyrule, and Wild start applauding and congratulating Tyra. Which wakes up Time and Twilight from their shocked silence.

All this praise causes Tyra to turn sheepish with a blush spreading down her neck with a shy smile on her face. Time and Twilight both clap her on the back with proud smiles on their faces. At that turns around bringing both into a tight hug, hiding her face between their chests.

Time and Twilight worry something is wrong until they hear Tyra let out an embarrassed laugh. “That was amazing!” Wind yelled. Four and Legend both grunt and nod in agreement.

“Holy Hylia, I never knew that was possible.” Said Sky. Wild had pulled out his slate and started recording the scene when they saw the standstill. “I caught it on the slate, so we can view it later. Tyra, you have to teach me that!” Exclaimed Wild with a fire in his eyes.

Hyrule was mumbling to himself saying, “Wha… how? Huh? I…” Warriors was quiet for a while remembering that he read something in his Hyrule royal archive about something regarding Tyra’s technique of fighting. “… Huh. I guess the royal family was wrong.” Mumbles Warriors.

Warriors mumbled that so quietly Twilight and Tyra almost missed it. After that display of strength by Tyra the others were scared of sparring with her. Time, Twilight, and Tyra were too tired to keep sparring so they sat on the side. “What? You’re tired? You don’t look it.” Said Wild. The other’s didn’t believe that Tyra was tired.

“Believe it. It takes a lot of energy to perform that technique. Spent years building up my energy to use the technique.” Tyra explained. She may not look it but she’s about ready to collapse from exhaustion. Time and Twilight noticed this in the way she was carrying herself. Her eyes would drop a tad bit every now and then. Tyra was swaying very slightly on her feet, you wouldn’t catch it if you weren’t paying very close attention. Seeing how the other’s still didn’t believe Tyra, Time stepped in to shut them down.

“Alright, that’s enough. You seven have some sparring to catch up on.” The other’s noticed the disapproving look Time was giving them. “Yes, sir.” They all said. Two of them started sparring. When one lost another would replace them, they kept at it until they were tired.

When everyone was done they headed back to the inn for dinner. After dinner Warriors went up to Time, Twilight, and Tyra. “I can’t keep quiet any longer. I need to talk to you three privately.” Warriors said in his captain tone. The three Hylian’s nodded and Time lead them to the room he shares with Twilight, Tyra, and Wild. “Okay, prey tell why you can’t keep quiet any longer?” Questioned Time.

The three of them had noticed anytime Wars wasn’t preoccupied he was getting quiet and thinking about something the others weren’t privy to. Warriors very rarely went silent, he mostly goes silent when thinking about the War of Era’s. Or about something he’s learned about that wasn’t always true.

Twilight and Tyra couldn’t figure out what Warriors meant earlier in the forest. Warriors heaves a heavy sigh. “Where to start?” Warriors mumbles, loud enough for the three of them to hear him.

Warriors takes a deep breath to steal himself. The he looks to Time with a serious look on his face causing Time to straighten his back and give Wars the same look.

“Sprite, do you remember during the War of Era’s how you, me, and Artemis went looking through the royal archives?” Warriors finally asks after a moment.

That question surprises Time as he was not expecting that. Time calmed down some but was still serious when he answers the captain. “Yes, I do. Why are you bringing that up?” Questioned Time. Warriors motioned for all of them to take a seat.

Twilight and Tyra sit next to each other on one bed, while Time and Warriors sat on the bed across from them. Once they were all seated Warriors took a moment to find the best way to say what he wanted to tell them. The three of them let him gather his thoughts and waited patiently.

“Around midnight almost one, you fell asleep exhausted from all the reading remember?” Time nods when Warriors looked over to him.

“Well, Artemis and I stayed up a while longer. Then I stumbled across this book. Out of all the books in the archive- even the book talking about the Royal Family- it was the fanciest looking book.”

“And the book was all about the Hero of Twilight’s daughter’s life. When I first found it and read it I didn’t think much of it and put it from my mind after reading the whole thing. But looking back it seems like the book wasn’t finished.” Warriors started.

“What do you mean?” Time asked. Was there something wrong with the book? They knew Wars was far from done talking. “… There were blank pages towards the end of the book. It was like whoever wrote it never finished writing it, but it still somehow ended up in the Royal archive. Most of the book was blank pages. None of the pages mentioned how old she was when she died. Goddesses, her death wasn’t even mentioned!”

At that Time, Twilight, and Tyra looked at Warriors wide eyed. ‘How is this possible?!’ The three of them thought. There’s a tense silence for a few minutes before Warriors continues talking. “Artemis came over after I finished reading. I asked her why most of the pages were blank. At first she was confused as to why a book in the Royal archive had blank pages. So she used her magic to inspect the book and she discovered the reason why.”

Wars took a deep breath putting his head in his hands, while Time rubs soothing circles on his back. “… She discovered the reason was because there was a magic spell cast on the book. To keep the rest of the story hidden until the time was right. Back then I didn’t understand what that meant, but I do now. Once this journey’s over Tyra’s story will be completed in the book. Though that’s not what I really wanted to talk about.”

Wars took a deep breath. “I knew I had to tell you all this before saying what I really wanted. There was a section of the book that talked about Tyra’s dual sword wielding. But it said that she never perfected it. Now, that may be a side effect or done intentionally by the spell. I’m not sure.”

Wars sighed. “But also in that book it portrayed Tyra as some weak helpless Hylian who had a rough childhood. I only just remembered about the book when I saw the three of you sparring earlier.” Wars finished. Tyra thought long and hard about this.

“Hmm… Maybe the spell was put on the book ‘cause if ya read it during the War of Era’s then ya’ll would know what was t’ happen in the future an’ cause history t’ change. Which would cause many problems.” Tyra explained.

That made sense because not long before her 21st year Dusk had only started writing the Royal archive book on the Hero of Twilight. Royal archive books are only written after someone worthy of having their own story in the Royal archive dies.

“Ya only get get a book written ‘bout ya I the Royal archive after yer death. Not long ‘fore my birthday, Dusk ONLY just started writing pa’s book. The books are mostly for Royals, and great Hero’s.”

Tyra sighs happily. “When I was 5 pa took me to the Royal archive and showed me the book containing the story of the Hero of Time.” This surprised the three Links. Tyra laughed when she saw their faces.

“Pa said it took ‘im a few years to find the book. But when he did he noticed it had been hidden by someone who knew the Hero of Time. An’ anytime they saw the book they would likely break down, so they decided t’ hide it. They left a note with it saying why they hid the book.”

Tyra took a short moment before continuing. “The letter was never signed so we don’t know who hid the book. ‘Cause the book was hidden the Hero of Time’s story was never told or mentioned in the history of the kingdom. But when pa found it Dusk made sure that EVERYONE in the kingdom learned about the story.” Tyra finished.

Twilight and Warriors didn’t know what to say after learning that. At first Time was angry, then he was curious, then finally settled on grateful. ‘Well it took a while but it seems that I will be remembered eventually. Thanks pup.’ Thought Time.

A few moments passed before Tyra shyly admitted that she’s read Time’s story over a hundred times. That got Warriors laughing. Twilight didn’t know what to say so he stayed quiet.

Time was shocked at first before he got up with the biggest smile on his face they’ve ever seen, went over to Tyra and pulled her into a hug quietly thanking her. Tyra didn’t say anything but she did hug Time back tightly.

The next day they were leaving the village heading north. Just as the sun was about to start it’s descent a portal opened up in front of them. Being Tyra’s first time seeing the portal Twilight and Time told her so much about when she was growing up she was nervous.

But she was ready to pass through the disturbing black and purple portal. When they came out the other side of the portal they saw they were in another forest.

It was night so they found a small cave to camp in for the night. The next morning they ate a wonderful breakfast Wild cooked up, before heading out. Because it was so dark last night none of the ten Hylian’s could determine if any of them recognized it as their Hyrule. Not long after they started walking Time recognized the woods as the lost woods by Kokiri Forest. A bit later they get attacked by one of Time’s Moblins. After they all get healed by the fairies within the forest Time suggests they take a detour.

A few days back Tyra noticed Time writing a letter- her guess to Malon- during one of his watch shifts when she woke from a nightmare. It was not the one about Twilight- the nightmare was one of her more tame nightmares. It was a nightmare about the day Twilight turned into a wolf for the first time, but instead of Twilight it was Tyra in his place.

‘I know he already likely sent a letter t’ grandma Malon about pa and I. But t’ be meeting ‘er so soon… I’m not sure I’m ready yet, but can’t stop it now.’ Mused Tyra. They walked in silence for a while before Twilight spoke up.

“Alright, ya said ‘detour’ but where exactly is this? You’ve been awfully cheerful.” Time chuckled with a bright smile.

“Have I? Well, you could say this place is feeling a lot like home. Speaking of —-” Time says before being cut off by another voice.

“Yer back!!!” Exclaims Malon before running up to kiss Time.

(A/N: Quick warning it’s longer than the previous chapters. When writing the chapters I always hand write them first. Chapter five was 16 pages long! Oh, it almost killed me lol!)

Chapter 3: The Chain Bonding With Tyra

(A/N: This chapter is a slight bit of a bonding chapter but also not really. I couldn't come up with a good way to have them all bond a bit; but I still hope you enjoy this chapter nonetheless. ALSO within this chapter Tyra will be getting stuck in her head and negative thoughts but thank Hylia that Time and Twilight are there to help her.

*TRIGGER WARNING: mentions of death, blood, and decapitation If this bothers you then don't read I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable!*

**Time, Twilight, and Wild are there to comfort Tyra**

Narrators POV:

It's been three days since Tyra joined the chain in hunting down the shadow and so far the days have been oddly peaceful. The guys are guessing it might have to do with Tyra but they have no proof. "I'm telling you guys it has to be Tyra. We would have already fought two or three battles against 'blins today." Said Legend.

"It is odd but that does not prove anything Vet." Said Hyrule. Time was getting annoyed by their constant arguing. 'I'm glad I had the pup take kitten for a run in their wolf forms before this arguing began.’ Thought Time. Unfortunately Legend never stayed quiet about this even when Tyra was around no matter who (minus Tyra) said anything. Tyra hasn't said anything to Legend because she became trapped in her head worrying that she was changing history. Though Tyra only confided this knowledge to Twilight and Time. She knew she could always trust her father and grandpa Time to keep her secrets (that aren't dangerous) and help her to stop being stuck in her negative thoughts.

'I need to come up with a way to get Legend to stop talking about this around Tyra. But how? Maybe the only way to get him to stop is if Tyra says something to him. Though as of now Tyra keeps getting stuck in negative thoughts about Legend being right... Pup please help her realize it's not her fault.' Thought Time. Though if Time was being honest he was enjoying the peaceful days of not fighting monsters.

But he knew these peaceful days won't last forever, they are on a quest to save the kingdom of Hyrule. But he also knew that Tyra was NOT responsible for the peaceful days and knew how much she was stressing even if she tried (key word tried) to hide it from him and Twilight. 'It's funny we only met three days ago and already the pup and I know when she's not being entirely truthful, when she's lying, hiding something, and when there's something on her mind.' Thought Time.

Twilight's POV:

*Fiftteen minutes prior*

"Pup, I want you to go take the kitten out for a run after breakfast this morning before we pack up camp and start moving again. I don't care how long you're gone just take her for a run to clear her mind. We both know how much she needs a distraction and to be away from the Vet for a while." Said Time. It's not a bad idea the kitten and I 'ave gone on patrol t'get'er in our wolf forms, but we 'avent got to fight t'get'er in both our Hylian and wolf forms; or gone for a run t'get'er as wolves yet. "Course it'll be fun t' get t' run 'long side 'er in our wolf forms. An' yer right she'll get t' clear 'er mind if only fer awhile." I agreed. Thankfully we were over by a stream gatherin' water t' bring back t' camp so no one heard us talkin'.

*Now*

The kitten and I 'ave been runnin' fer Fifteen minutes now and it's been wonderful. She's able t' keep up with me an' even pass me 'couple a times. "Kitten, let's take a break fer a second." I said. She quickly answers, "Kay pa." We both stop and flop down on the grass in a clearin' next t' each other. I've always found my lovin' impulses harder t' push down when I'm in my wolf form so I start snugglin' an' lickin'/groomin' the kitten's head. My ears pick up the sound of 'er tail waggin'.

'She's so adorable. I love 'er so much. My little kitten.' I think. While we were runnin' we saw on the top a hill a path that leads t' a village. It'll take us 'bout a day n' half t' reach the village should there be no monsters or bad weather slowin' us down. 'It'd be great if there were t' be no problems but also that would only cause Leg t' keep singin' praise t' Tyra 'bout how she's the reason there's been no monster attacks. An' if that happens then the kitten will keep blamin' 'erself fer changin' the future.'

"I think I know why there's been peaceful days is 'cause Hylia wouldn't let there be any danger so ya could adjust t' yer new role an' t' let ya properly get t' know the others. Hylia always does everything fer a reason." Tyra's ears perk up at what I said and tilts 'er head t' the side likely thinkin' on what I said. "Yer right pa. Hylia does do everythin' fer a reason. But even if I said that t' Legend, he would likely throw back how he hates Hylia an' how she's never really helped 'em in any of 'is past journeys t' save Hyrule." She does 'ave a point Vet would NEVER accept an' praise anythin' that involves Hylia or the three golden Goddesses.

"He really should learn not t' state his hatred fer Hylia in front of in of Sky though." The most recent Hylia hate rant Legend went on was two days ago at dinner (A/N: Tyra had only been with the chain for one day). The kitten went into a bit more detail on how Hylia saved 'er life an' granted 'er powers; Sky was happy Hylia helped the kitten but not Leg an' which caused Legend t' go on 'is Hylia hate rant while Tyra was still tellin' the story.

An' while Leg was goin' off he didn't notice how mad Sky was gettin' 'til Sky tackled 'em an' started beatin' the shit outta 'em. Time had t' pull Sky off Legend while Wars grabbed Vet t' get 'em a red potion. Sky had given Vet a black eye an' broke 'is nose. The kitten quickly went back t' tellin' the story an' that quickly calmed Sky down that he was back t' smiling while listenin' t' Hylia praise. Afterwards Time said that Legend almost ranted fer twenty minutes.

"Heh. That was scary. I 'member ya tellin' me stories of how scary Sky can get, but that was way scarier than how ya always described exactly how scary Sky can be." I can tell that she does believes me but still has that fear within 'er that will only go 'way when we encounter danger next. "Thanks, pa." I give 'er 'nother lick on 'er head. "Any time, kitten." We get up an' head back t' camp so we can start making our way towards the village.

I hope we don't show up t' Vet singin' praise t' the kitten. That will only undo what we talked 'bout how Hylia is responsible fer the recent peaceful days. But knowin' Legend he never misses an opportunity t' bash Hylia.

Narrators POV:

Twilight and Tyra make it back to camp in five minutes. They stumble upon Time finally losing his patience with Legend. "Vet! If you don't shut up I will give Sky the go ahead to beat you up like he did two days ago!" Time threatened. At this Legend froze and his face went pale. "Yes, sir." Squeaked Legend. Legend really did not want to be on Sky's bad side anytime soon. That day was so scary, Legend thought he was going to die by Sky's hand for only speaking his thoughts on Hylia.

Time looked serious and it was evident that Time would not come to his rescue this time if he didn't shut up. Once the other's calmed down they started laughing at Legend except Time, Twilight, and Tyra. Time went over to them to privately talk while everyone else was making fun of Legend for his squeaking voice. "How was your run?" Time asked his descendants.

Twilight was the first one to pull himself together and answer Time. "It was peaceful. While we were on the run we happened across a path leadin' down a hill towards a village on the other side of a small forest." Twilight stated. A village was good, they could stock up on supplies in the village and sleep at an inn for a few days. "How far is the village?" Questioned Time. Tyra just finally managed to pull herself together to join the conversation said... "The village is 'bout a day n' half 'way if there's no monster attacks or bad weather."

Time knew that this peace will soon end just as Twilight did and while he wants to get to that village quickly he had this feeling that getting to this village was not gonna be easy. 'There's no way we are going to make it to that village in a day and a half. This feels like the calm before the storm. I hope Legend will keep his mouth shut when we do encounter trouble.' Thinks Time.

They end their conversation and Time starts telling everyone to pack up their things and start making their way to the village following behind Twilight and Tyra. It's about midday when they start walking through the small wooded area along the path that they get attacked by monsters. Tyra and Twilight are the first ones to notice which draws everyone's attention to the upcoming fight. Legend brings his shield up to block an attack from a bokoblin.

'Oh come on! Why? I was really hoping Tyra brought us good luck in the form of no or less fighting! Well I guess Hylia jinxed us because of me. But I'm NOT telling anyone this. But I guess I do owe Tyra an apology. I did notice her feeling uncomfortable every time I opened my mouth these last few days. BUT ONLY Tyra will hear my apology, I don't want the other's especially the captain knowing that I willingly gave an apology on my own!' Legend thought.

The chain broke up into groups of two during the battle. Wind and Four paired off together against four bokoblins. Legend and Hyrule were fighting three bokoblins and one lizalfo. Sky and Wild faced off against two lizalfos and two bokoblins. Warriors and Time were fighting side by side against three lizalfos and one bokoblin. And finally Twilight and Tyra were back to back fighting four lizalfos and two bokoblins.

Everyone except Twilght and Tyra were finished fighting because Twilight and Tyra were the only ones who were fighting against six monsters. They were all watching in awe at how smoothly Twilight and Tyra are fighting together and how easily they are moving around each other. A lizalfos aims for Twilight's left side and immediately Tyra is there attacking and killing the lizalfo. While Tyra is distracted a bokoblin tries to sneak up on her but Twilight is already there and blocks the attack, and finishing the bokoblin off with the helm splitter.

By the time the battle is over dusk is falling so they find a cave not far from a stream to camp at for the night. Legend and Tyra go and gather firewood together since they were the only ones with little to no injuries in the group. Sky had a slight concussion, Wind had a sprained ankle, Wild had sprained his wrist, Four had a broken leg, Hyrule was covered in cuts and bruises, Warriors had a broken arm, Twilight had a deep cut in his abdomen, Time only had a few bruises and stayed back at camp to make sure everyone took a red potion.

Legend only felt sore but took a red potion nonetheless. The only one who did not have to take a red potion was Tyra because she came out of that battle unharmed. At least to everyone else she did because she used her healing powers from Hylia to quickly heal herself before anyone knew she was injured.

Before she healed herself she had four stab wounds and a broken leg so she secretly healed herself. 'It's odd how there's a golden light whenever I heal someone but, whenever I heal myself there is no golden light. But that odd occurrence helped me to secretly heal myself before the other's 'specially pa and grandpa Time could see.' Thought Tyra. Tyra and Legend were almost done gathering firewood -before they finished bringing logs back to the cave for everyone to sit on- when Legend finally speaks up.

"Tyra, I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable with what I've been saying these past few days. And don't deny it I saw how uncomfortable you were but sadly that wasn't my main focus and I'm sorry." Legend apologized. Tyra was shocked at how genuine that apology sounded, but she was happy nonetheless. "It's 'kay Legend. I understand, thank you and I promise this won't get back to the captain." Said Tyra. Legend only nodded in acknowledgment.

(A/N: Legend thought she was uncomfortable because she never really got praised much growing up so he thought she would eventually come around and acknowledge the praise. Silly Legend).

Tyra thought about telling Twilight and Time but realized that neither of them mentioned Legend EVER willingly and genuinely apologizing to anyone without being prompted to by someone else. Tyra decides to keep this to herself. Unbeknownst to Tyra two golden Poes were learning about this moment for the first time. They look to each other in complete shock at what they just witnessed but soon exasperated fond smiles break out on their faces as they from a distance follow Tyra and Legend back to the camp.

Tyra and Legend get back to camp and the night move along with no more issues, everyone's healed, eats, sleeps, there's the normal night watches with Wars taking first, Time taking second, and Four taking third. And there are no more monster attacks for the rest of the night.

They make it to the village by evening the next day, they stock up on red potions. Wild stocks up on cooking ingredients and weapons, then they head to the inn. The inn had four rooms available, one room had four beds and the other three had two beds each. Time, Twilight, Tyra, and Wild took the room with four beds. Wind and Warriors took one of the rooms with two beds, Four and Sky took the second room with two beds, and finally Legend and Hyrule took the third room with two beds.

'It's funny how within the second day of me joinin' both Four an' uncle Wild quickly found out that I was born a shapeshifter an' I also turn into a wolf just like pa an' eventually grandpa Time. But only me and pa know that eventually grandpa Time will be able to turn into a wolf' Tyra thought after she, Twilight, Time, and Wild all settled into their room. That night Tyra has a dream about all of them ending up in Time's Hyrule and making their way to Lon Lon Ranch, but then the dream gets cut off and she's pulled into a nightmare that she's had ever since Twilight died in her Hyrule.

She's shrouded in darkness when all of a sudden she hears screaming. "Tyra! Run! Save yerself! Go kitten!" It's her father screaming at her to run away and leave him to die. There are blood spots on the ground from her father. She doesn't listen as she shifts to her wolf form and follows his scent, she's running as fast as her wolven legs will let her. She's hoping and praying that she makes it in time to save her father. "Please, please, PLEASE let me save 'im! Hylia please!" She cries and screams.

But, unfortunately, like always when she has this nightmare she is too late. Tyra finds him dead on the ground, blood pooled around him and the worst part his body is decapitated in the most gruesome way she has ever seen. She shifts back to Hylian, falls to her knees tears streaming down her face, she lifts her head up to the darkened sky and lets out the most heartbreaking scream she has within her.

"Kitten wake up!" A voice says. "Kitten it's 'kay! Yer 'kay!" Another voice says. "It's only a nightmare it's not real!" A third voice says. "PLEASE WAKE UP TYRA!" All three voices said together. Tyra wakes up with a start, panting and sweating. Immediately she is crushed in a hug by Time, Twilight, and Wild. All three of them are whispering words of comfort to her. She eventually calms down, and hugs them back. "Thank you fer wakin' me." She says.

They ask if she wants to talk about her nightmare. Tyra thinks on this, as she's never told her mother, uncle, aunt, grandma Uli, and grandpas Rusl and Bo about her nightmare after her father died. But she feels safe with Time, Twilight, and Wild so she tells them everything that happened in the nightmare. After she finished the three of them hugged her again.

"That is one of the most horrible nightmares one could have." Time said. Time's nightmares about the moon almost seem not as bad as Tyra's nightmare almost. "That's a nightmare I wish I could take 'way from ya so ya are never plagued by my death ever again." Consoled Twilight. Twilight is plagued by nightmares of Midna leaving and breaking the mirror of Twilight. "Every nightmare you overcome makes you stronger whether it's a real or imaginary nightmare. You will become stronger Tyra." Wild stated.

Wild still has nightmares about the calamity and losing his friends but also knows that he survived and made new friends to fight for and protect, and he's still overcoming his nightmares.

Tyra started crying with a smile on her face because she was thankful to have finally told someone about her nightmare. Tyra felt so loved by these three scared Hylians who mean so much to her.

Chapter 2: Who Is This Woman?

(A/N: When I was first writing this chapter it took me a while to figure out how to introduce Tyra to the Chain and how she convinces them to believe her about who she is. I made Gacha character designs for the ten Hylian’s and posted it on my TikTok here)

Twilight's POV:

That fight was more difficult than it needed to be, mostly 'cause we were low on fairies and potions when they came outta no where an' got the jump on us. Well at least that's over now, all we gotta do is find somewhere to camp for the night... 'huh? Not again! Of course our bad luck would do this to us!' All of a sudden we see a bright flash of light and once it clears, right there standin' before us is a female hylian armed with a sword and shield.

"WHO ARE YOU?!" I'm not sure who said that first 'cause I heard 8 other voices alongside mine shoutin' at the woman. 'Just who is this woman? Is she the one who sent those black-blooded lizalfos and bokoblins on us? Is she our enemy?' All of a sudden just as all 9 of us are about to start attackin' her since she never answered who she is, she managed to shock us enough to not fight her which rarely ever happens to us. 'Why is she disarmin' herself and surrenderin'? It doesn't make any sense... is she not an enemy?' I'm even more shocked when I look down at her shield. 'Hold on is she from Ordon?'

I look around me and notice that the others haven't taken their eyes off the woman who looks to be in her early 20s. "Miss, are you perhaps from Ordon Village?" As soon as I ask that it's like the others finally woke up and started talkin' over each other 'till Time spoke up.

"Quite! All of you! Now prey tell young lady are you from Ordon Village?" And of course Time has to ask while lookin' highly disappointed, frightenin' the woman. The woman sighs.

"It's a long and crazy story that you might not believe heh." She answers Time. "We've had crazier things happen to us so prey tell." Surprisingly Legend said that. I didn't expect him to say anythin'. "ROAR!" Oh great a moblin! 'Was she the one who brought it? Did she purposefully distract us to take us out?' Wait what is she doing? Is she fighting the moblin?! 'She took down the moblin in 4 heavy swings from her sword! Why does she know the Helm Splitter, Backslash, and Ending Blow?! I've only been starting to teach Collin those moves!'

"She's really strong."

"And she fights like the old man and the ranch hand." I hear the others around me discussin' how after that display their startin' to trust her. Wait why is she going to put down her sword and shield again? I stop her from putting her sword and shield on the ground. All around us the rest of the chain is wonderin' if she's another reincarnation of the Hero's Spirit. 'She might be. It would explain why she knows moves only me and Time know.'

Once I stop her from disarming herself I say. "You don't need to disarm yourself we trust you not to attack us, but we still need to know who you are. Are you another reincarnation of the Hero's Spirit?" She gets flustered for a moment and it's kind of adorable- 'wait did I just think this woman is adorable? What is wrong with me? ...But I do feel a sort of connection with her like I've met her before and I know her but I don't remember.'

Narrators POV:

After they determine Tyra safe enough to be around Time says; "Alright enough dawdling it's time to find a place to camp for the night. Let's move, you as well miss." They find a nice place to camp with a river near by and no monsters in sight. As Wild is cooking dinner for the now 10 hylian's, Tyra tells them her story. "The truth is yes I'm from Ordon Village but I'm not a reincarnation of the Hero's Spirit..."

"What then who are you?!" Nine voices question at the same time. "...My name is Tyra, daughter of the hero of twilight." Tyra finally says. "WHAT?!" All 9 Links scream. "You're my daughter?! Then how and why are you here?" Twilight asks Tyra. "Well..." Once she finishes her story dinner is ready so they wait to question her more until everyone is done eating. When Wild comes back from washing the dishes with Warriors they then resume questioning Tyra. "Wait how do we know you're not fucking with us?" Asks Legend.

"Language!" Scolds Time, as Warriors starts snickering. "You want me to prove I'm telling the truth?" Tyra asks. Instead of an verbal reply she gets nine hylian's nodding at her as an answer. Tyra sighs. "Alright then." Tyra says as she turns to look her father straight in the eyes and says... "Pa, I know EVERYTHING about your childhood and how you came to live in Ordon Village." Twilight stares back at her with his eyes wide and his mouth gaping.

"Hah! As if that's truly enough the ranch hand's probably told tons of people that story..." Warriors starts but then gets cut off by Twilight's shaky reply. "I... I-I have ONLY EVER told Rusl and Uli the truth of my childhood before living with them in Ordon Village." The other Links are shocked to hear this.

"Wait why only them? Did something horrible happen to your birth parents?" Came Time's panicked questions. 'Right at this point grandpa Time is fully starting to accept the reality that pa is his descendant but hasn't yet introduced pa to grandma Malon yet, so of course the truth about pa's past hasn't been revealed yet. Sorry pa; Sorry grandpa Time.' Tyra reflects to herself. "My past is not very pretty and I'd rather not relive it if I can, I only told them because I trust them and once I told them I made the decision on my own to never talk about it again if I could help it. But it seems like in the future I have such a close relationship with my daughter that I confide in her the truth about my childhood." Twilight answered Time's questions.

'I see it must have been so very traumatic for him to want to hide it. I can only hope one day he will share it with me before this journey is over.' Time thinks. "We're sorry for doubting your story Tyra. Welcome to the chain." Everyone says to Tyra. "Thanks y'all." Tyra says. Then before anyone begins to fall asleep Time speaks up. "Alright that is enough for one night; It's time to assign who's on watch tonight. Wild, you will take 1st watch." Says Time. "Understood." Answers Wild. "Pup, you and Tyra will both take second watch." Time ordered. "Yes sir." Twilight answered. "Roger that." Came Tyra's response.

"Finally, I will take third watch." Time stated. After that all except Wild went to bed. After Wild woke Twilight and Tyra for second watch, they mostly sat near each other in silence. Eventually Twilight spoke up asking his future daughter (the idea still not yet fully cementing in that this is true) a question he's had since going to sleep when Wild started his turn at watch. "Tyra, I have a question to ask you if you don't mind."

Even though he knows she's his daughter he doesn't want to step on any sore spots with questions she may not want to answer. "Of course pa, ask away." Came her surprisingly calm answer. 'She's ok for now but once I ask her it may be another story.' Twilight thought. "I was wondering 'bout how you got your twili markings? I saw them when you were headin' t' bed earlier." Twilight said. "Hm... Well, I was born with them and the ability to freely Change into my wolf form." Tyra answered calmly surprising Twilight in more than one way with what she said.

"What?! How?!" Questioned Twilight. Tyra then explained that from all the times he transformed into a wolf before she was growing in her mother's belly, his DNA and his wolf DNA combined to create a sort of hybrid DNA that she inherited and how her wolf DNA is a part of her and how it can sometimes become dangerous when she is enraged and how she has to be careful. "Kitten, I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. Why are you looking like you're about to cry?" Twilight questioned. Twilight was about to blame himself when Tyra hugged him and managed to shut him up.

"When I was growing up you always called me 'kitten' and I haven't heard that nickname in the four years since you died and I'm just so happy and sad at the same time." Tyra said. After Tyra calmed down they both agreed to transform and howl together. Soon Time came over to start his watch while they were still transformed. "You two were supposed to wake me up five minutes ago." Time lightly scolded with a small smile. That's when they found out that Time had been awake during their whole conversation with Time giving the excuse of... "I didn't want to interrupt the father/daughter bonding moment."

Time's POV:

So another descendant but this time it's my first descendant's daughter how interesting. The kitten is very much like the pup it's almost scary. Twilight and I have discussed that champion might be his descendant due to similarities and what champion has told him about why the four Divine Beasts were given that name. "The Divine Beasts were named after the Hero of Twilight who could transform into a wolf and was first called a 'Divine Beast' by the princess of that time."

That's what the cub told Twilight. Pup couldn't even believe what he had heard, mostly because he's never been fond of his wolf form being called a beast; He said it brought back unpleasant memories from his journey to save Hyrule. I put Twilight and Tyra on watch duty together because I also noticed her facial markings that looked exactly like Twilight's and wanted to see how they would interact with each other when they were left alone. 'I'm glad I was awake to witness their interaction and not have to question the pup in private about how his conversation with his daughter went. This was the one time I am thankful the full moon was out keeping me from properly sleeping.’ Time sighs.

'Tyra knows everything that's to happen during this journey and since it's already been set in stone for her, she can't change anything that's to happen. Even Tyra's a victim to the flow of time and can do nothing to change it.' There are so many things not only regarding this journey, but regarding Twilight that I want to ask her, but I shouldn't. First, she can't risk telling us events that are to happen that could change history.

Second, she's not likely to reveal Twilight's secrets that he doesn't want revealed to the chain. 'But if Twilight wants to reveal one but can't he could have Tyra reveal it for him.' Well now I have one more descendant to tell Malon about, though I'm only going to mention Twilight and Tyra to her without revealing their names so it's a surprise for Malon. I'm certain Malon's going to love Twilight and Tyra; I know I do which is crazy because I'm still getting to learn more about Twilight along with the rest of the chain and only just met Tyra.

But the pup and the kitten both have a way of warming their way into your heart so easily. I'm sure Malon will agree when she finally meets them. "Oh Link, I love them so much it's like Twilight's my son and Tyra's my granddaughter!" That is what I imagine her saying when she meets them. "I hope with Tyra's help we can quickly defeat the shadow, but what much does hope do? I've learned time and time again that hope doesn't always help, in fact hope rarely helps the Hero of Courage during their journey(s) to save the kingdom of Hyrule. Yet here I am hoping for an easier journey now that Tyra's here, that is only going to put too much responsibility on her shoulders that she doesn't need."

Though something is still so odd to me Twilight is 22 and Tyra is 21; just how old was Twilight when Tyra was born? Was he ready to become a father when she was born? Maybe I'll try asking Tyra one day.

The future doesn't seem so bleak with Tyra here with us. I'm nervous but optimistic, which never happens when I'm away from Malon. 'How has Tyra given me this feeling of being home with Malon when I'm so far away from home and Malon?'

Tyra is the daughter of the hero of Twilight. She is very similar to her father in terms of being able to turn into a wolf and have wolf senses in her human form. But she also have powers gifted to her by the Goddess Hylia.

Somehow she is teleported back in time to when her father was going on his second journey with the 8 other hero's of Hyrule. She has no idea why she was brought back in time by Hylia but she plans to find out why and help her father and the other Links as well.

Chapter 1: Tyra Daughter of the Hero of Twilight

(A/N: This chapter is mostly a quick introduction of Tyra and how Tyra gets sent on her adventure from her point of view. The next part will start with how the Links met Tyra and continued their adventure from their point of view but mostly Twilight and Time’s point of viewing).

Tyra's POV:

'How could this happen?! It never crossed my mind! Father always told me that Hylia always did everything for a reason; but, WHAT WAS THE REASON FOR WHAT THAT BITCH DID THIS TIME!?!? Why am I here in the past with a younger version of my father, ancestor (grandpa) Time, (uncle) Wild, Sky, Warriors, Legend, Hyrule, Wind, and Four traversing the different versions of the kingdom Hyrule trying to stop Dark Link?! As father always says there's only one way to find out. So I guess here I go to find out why I'm here. Dark Link you better watch out you will have 10 angry Hylian's coming for your ass!' I thought.

Hi, if your wondering why I'm so confused and angry well then get your ass settled it's a long story and you'll be here a while but, basically it all started on a normal day in my era of Hyrule on the eve of my 21st year and 4 years after I lost my father to a war that I blame all of it completely on Queen Zelda (Dusk) herself! My father is Link the hero of twilight and my mother is Ilia. My life was perfect I had both my parents giving me so much love, I'm part wolf, I was gifted powers by the Goddess Hylia, I'm an excellent swordsman, marksman, and martial artist and, I'm a ranch hand and Queen Zelda (Dusk) TOOK ALL MY HAPPINESS AWAY FROM ME!!!! Ahem - this is how my first big adventure starts....

Narrators POV:

It was a beautiful day in Ordon Village, Tyra and her horse Rosamond just finished herding all the goats and Tyra was now patrolling Faron woods for any stray travelers trying to get into the forest temple or monsters deciding to come close to the village. Tyra had her sword on her and her wolf senses were sharp and on the loo out for any danger, but no monsters were attacking her all of them are afraid of her. 'All these monsters are scared of me just like with father....' Tyra sighed.

'I really miss you... I wish you were here with me and mom. Ever since you died Epona has been missing no one knows where she is. I keep having nightmares about how you died saying "Tyra my beloved daughter, I'm sorry I have to leave you and your mother all alone but know that I'm always here in your heart no matter how far I may be. I love you my kitten." I wish it weren't true! I wish you never went to war! I wish you were here hugging me telling everything is alright! But it's like you always said Hylia does everything for a reason. But I just miss you too much daddy.' Tyra broke down crying at light spirit Farore's spring in Faron woods.

The hero of Twilight fought in a war 4 years prior against the Gerudo who left when Ganon was sealed; they only recently heard that Ganon had been killed and became angered. This then became the second war in Hyrule's history that had been Hyrule against the Gerudo. Link had gotten himself surrounded by about 30 Gerudo soldiers while being heavily wounded and perished in battle. Ilia was devastated learning of Link's death while, Tyra was not only devastated but she was also enraged at Queen Zelda (Dusk) for 'forcing' her father to fight in the war that got him killed.

Tyra, in her heartbroken state rode Rosamond all the way to Hyrule Castle with no rest stops and swore out Queen Zelda (Dusk) while also getting violent. Due to the way she acted in the Queen's throne room word about it quickly spread throughout Hyrule Castle Town about how she was just as wild and crazy as her father not that she cared how people thought about her anyway.

Sure, she wasn't proud of what she did but she wouldn't change what she did because at least she told in Tyra's opinion that 'good for nothing Queen!' what she thought about her father's death. Once she calmed down she started heading back home before her mother and grandmother Uli got worried and both started going on a war path again.

The next day:

Today is Tyra's 21st birthday a special day that marks her as a fully grown woman. She wished her father was here to see the woman she's become knowing he would be so proud of her. "Happy birthday Tyra!!" Came the voices of Ilia, Uli, Rusl, uncle Collin, his wife Beth, aunt Hassa, and her grandfather the mayor of Ordon. "Thank you everyone. I just wish father was here too that would have made today absolutely perfect." Tyra said with a sad smile.

"Oh I know sweetheart but remember your father is always here in your heart." Said Ilia. Tyra smiled and hugged her mother tight. At that same moment she felt her father's spirit hug both her and her mother.

Ever since Link died there are times in which Tyra can feel her father's spirit but not see him nor his golden poe lantern (except for at night when she's not near a fire) and she always feels better once she feels his presence.

'It's odd that I'm the only one who can feel father's spirit. Well if I had to guess it's probably due to the fact that he's worried about me.' Ilia then let's go of Tyra and once she does Tyra no longer feels her father's spirit. 'And he's gone again... but still around like always.' Then they all went on to throw a huge Ordonian celebration with Uli's famous pumpkin cake. Tyra even got to train with uncle Collin. But then something strange happened. Suddenly Tyra, her family and Rosamond were teleported to the Ordon spring protected by the light spirit Ordona. Tyra and her family were so shocked and confused as to why they were actually seeing the light spirit Ordona.

"Young Tyra the daughter of the hero of twilight the past and future are in grave danger some great evil is planning to go back in time to kill the hero of twilight before he and his companions who are traveling throughout every Hyrule. The Goddess Hylia has chosen you to be the one to join the hero's on their journey to defeat this great evil." said Ordona.

"What?! But why? I've never been on such a big adventure I'm not good enough for this!" questioned Tyra. "You have the blessings and powers gifted to you by the Goddess Hylia you shall be fine child." said Ordona. "Sweetheart, it looks like there's no way out of it. Go help your father and just come home safely that's all I ask." said Ilia. Tyra looked to her mother knowing she was right.

After quickly saying goodbye to her family and getting Rosamond ready she turned to Ordona. "Here is the hero's garb that Hylia herself made for you. Remember do not reveal anything about who the hero's of Hyrule is to fight and, do not reveal to much about yourself to your father as that might change history and you may never be born. Take care on your journey young Tyra, may the goddess watch over you." said Ordona. Next thing Tyra knows the world is spinning and going black.
