#goron champion

[cara-the-yiga-footsoldier]

Champions! I kind of referenced off of the screenshot of mine in some way. Daruk looks a bit odd to me, but this drawing took too long and I'm too lazy to try and rearrange him.

[imaginethezeldaverse]

Okay okay so imagine Yunobo being so down bad, head over heels in love with his hylian friend that anytime he's left alone with his thoughts, either laying in bed or in his office at YunoboCo. he can't help but touch himself to the thought of them. your just so warm and friendly and soft he can't help it!

And he always feels soooo guilty afterwards because there's no way you reciprocate his feelings (you do) and he shouldn't be thinking of you this way, but once again as night falls his mind wanders back to you and your plush hylian body. 🤭

Trying so hard not to giggle and kick my feet rn because listennnn (super nsfw below btw just fyi)

You are everything to him, understand? The softness in your features from the top of you head to the tips of your toes has the poor Goron wanting to hold you so desperately. That sweet voice of yours, always being so genuine and a pleasure to simply be around, Yunobo is so smitten with you. He treasures your hugs, enjoys your company and all around thinks the world of you. Behind the solid wall of his chest lies the most tender-hearted Goron, and you've captured that Goron's heart for sure.

...But when the sun goes down in Goron City, his thoughts plague him. Thoughts of what it'd be like to go down on you. What kind of noises would you make when he kisses you there? Are you a hushed whimperer? Or do you prefer to whine aloud? Hylia, what he'd give to hear you moan his name, your cute features all scrunched up in pleasure. Or maybe you'd prefer to go down on him...your soft lips wrapped so tightly around his cock, tongue lapping up the length of him as you slightly struggle to suck him off. His grip is firm on his shaft as he passes stroke for stroke on it to the thought of what your pretty moans would sound like. He imagines your smaller hands are wrapped around him, wrists circling to stroke him where the rest of your mouth can't fit.

His mind pulls him down further: the vision of your soft, sweet body under him. Yunobo "sees" the love in your eyes, "hears" the need in your voice. The call of your gentle curves and supple flesh crying out for him, all for him. Ecstasy builds in the pumping of his length as he imagines taking you - slowly at first, he would never want to hurt you, but with some gentle love and acclimation, soon enough you're begging for more. For him to go faster. For him to fuck you. And he does - in the confines of his mind he holds you at your hips, eyes half-lidded as he absorbs the feel of you clenching around him, the sound of your voice wavering in octaves as he fills you over and over.

You tell him how good he feels. You tell him how you've wanted this for so long. You tell him you love him.

In a sharp gasp that melts into a low, low groan Yunobo spills into his hand and onto the floor, the fleeting sound of his name cried out from your lips fading from his ears. His breath is ragged as he cuts back into the real world, the image of you spent alongside with him ghosting out of his subconscious. As the haze of sex filled fantasy lifts from his mind he immediately shifts into discomfort and guilt. The sigh Yunobo let’s out is desolate, he shouldn’t be thinking about you like this…you don’t even see him that way. And it’s that thought that strikes the Goron entrepreneur’s heart with a devastating blow. How he so genuinely loves you. So desperately wants you…and he's so sure you wouldn’t feel the same.

Yunobo runs his fingers through his lunar shaded locks and groans. He feels pathetic. Tucking himself back into his garment he makes his way to his bed after some cleaning off. It was better to rest than to sit on heartbreak.

But oh poor Yunobo…he doesn’t see how you blush when his hand caresses the small of your back when you hug. He doesn’t see the warmth in your eyes when you see him smiling from afar, doesn’t hear the quickened beats of your heart when those smiles end up turned in your direction. He doesn’t see how you bite your lip when you watch him train with the Boulder Breaker, his broad frame coated in a thin sheen of sweat. He hasn’t heard all those nights you’ve had alone, your own fingers slipping betwixt your thighs - the flex of his rigid musculature and the imagined hum of his gentle voice taking on a rougher timbre at the forefront of your thoughts.

…But oh, how you wish he did.

Hi! If you are comfortable (and still write for botw) could you do Daruk nsfw hcs? <3

Warning: 18+, nsfw hcs

🧡Oh, you are in for a hell of a ride, you know? I mean. He soft as long as he has control over himself but then he looses it... Okay, let's get where step by step.

🧡He is attentive lover. Always caring about you, you are always first priority in his mind. Even in sex he is ready to try all the things you are talking about.

🧡He knows how big he is, so be ready for long preparation. He can finger you for hours. Stretching you out, telling sweet nothing in your ear, while drinking in your shaken moans.

🧡He barely looses control, so sex with him is slow and long. Really long. He hates quickies because he can't have you properly, but long sex... With his stamina he can go for a whole day without break, by the end of process you will be overstimulated as hell, and Daruk will be kissing your tears away, mumbling how good you did.

🧡He is keen for intimacy, kisses, soft touches, reassuring words are his cup of tea. Be ready to get a lot of that. Daruk loves if he can grasp onto something, your thighs and waist are first thing he gets his large hands on.

🧡After you are properly stretched out he kisses you all over and takes his member out. He sinks in slowly. No matter how good you are prepared, it still stretches you just enough to balance perfectly between pleasure and pain, and he knows it too well. He uses it as his privilege, going slow and steady, making you reach your high fast evey time.

🧡But Daruk also has some weak spots. This guy has large breeding kink. He always wanted kids and he is old enough for that. So if you trigger that theme, he looses control.

🧡Man will get crazy if you tell him to "give you a child" or something close, and from this moment all soft touches can wait. He is rutting into you will incredible speed, making you cry out of overstimulation only 5 minutes later, but he kisses your cheek softly, saying that everything will be all right. He would kiss your lips, but he knows better than to cut off your oxygen at the moment.

🧡Daruk has his red flags too. One of them is your pain. Tears of happiness and overstimulation are one thing, tears of pain are another. He would never hurt you on purpose, so if it happens during sex, he stops. Simple "No" will do the same job, he respects your decision.

🧡Goron champion loves to do aftercare! He is not the best in it with your differences, but if you teach him, he might get a lot better. Usually, he takes you to a warm shower, then gets you water, maybe something to eat (probably at first it will be rock roast, but you can ask for anything, he will try his best to get it), and after that hugs, kisses, soft touches. He will be staying awake till you fall asleep, only then he might rest as well.

Daruk is really attentive partner. :)

part 1 (?) of the reunion comic - there’s a written follow-up here

[THIS ARTIST HASN’T PLAYED TOTK YET SO PLEASE NO SPOILERS]

[zelda-references]

the old sages (tears of the kingdom)

(some pictures have been edited for clarity, mostly increasing the exposure and brightness on the ones from the repetitive Ganondorf battle cutscenes. also some of these are pretty pixelated and low quality (because the sages were such a small part of the original frame) but I'd rather have as many pictures as possible of them when they each have so few appearances, especially from different angles. okay, yapping over)

ANCIENT CHAMPIONS

[muchmossymess]

Thinking about how the different races think about teeth.

Hylians, sheikah and gerudo are probably just like humans, baby set and then adult set, mby with little fangs bc I just love that aspect of fantasy.

Zora regrow their teeth like sharks, just have them constantly cooking behind the scenes ready to drop in when one breaks off. I want to say they have more than one row in their mouths, and I will bc its freaky and cool.

Gorons have really dense teeth (not bone), bc they need to crunch through stone and jaw strength only takes you so far. But honestly I reckon their teeth are constantly growing, faster as children and slower as they age. The regular wear and tear keeps them generally small but sometimes you need to break off chunks to keep it manageable. (Kinda like nails? If you let them keep growing then they tend to curl and dig into your skin and cause all sorts of problems)

Rito... don't have teeth. Obviously. They maintain their beaks with various surfaces, cuttlefish if you're fancy, but like if it breaks that's pretty much it, either leave it or get a prosthetic. But teeth? That freaks them out. Wdym ur bones are exposed and sometimes fall out how are you okay with this?!?

I miss him 💔

Botw AU: Divine intervention pt6

him.He tail lazily flicked against the rock he was laying on and his ears occasionally twitched when someone walked by. Jay wasn’t sure how long the princess planned for them to stay here,it already been two days and he was growing restless.The sound of footsteps made him press his ears close to his head,but his senses picked up the souls aura and he instantly relaxed. Clinking metal came around his left and when Jay opened an eye he saw messy blonde hair and sharp eyes.

“Well looks like you managed to escape the crowd.”

Link:’Barely,everyone wants to see the Master sword. What about you?’

Jay shrugged and pushed himself up and glanced at the princess,she was holding a conversation with a carrier.Brushing some dust of his chest,Jay stretched and yawned.

“I’m still adjusting…. I didn’t plan for everyone to know about my true form this soon. I kept it secret for my safety and privacy,but I guess my streak is over after slipping up at Zoras domain.”

Link:’Well it’s not all bad. It let’s everyone know you work for the royal family now and it takes some pressure off Zelda….And gives me a break from all the hero chatter.’

Catching the joke,Jay playful whacked Link with his tail,he was not planning on being a canon fodder for these nosy travelers. Standing up, he wiped off his pants and followed Link back to the stable, he was supposed to make fireproof elixirs for the trip to Goron city.He offered the stablehands a polite smile as he got situated by the cook pot,Jay could see people staring at him but he pretended not to notice. Reaching into his bag he pulled out some empty bottles and rolled up his sleeves for the upcoming mess. Link sat on the stool across from him, a curious glint in his eyes. Pulling out a moblin horn and some dead fireproof lizards Jay grabbed a bowl from his bag and started cutting the lizards.

“Hey, did they show you knights how to make elixirs? Or was it just strictly combat?”

Link:’Learned combat and first aid. Didn’t teach anything about elixirs.The alchemist always gave us supplies for the regions were needed.’

“Hmm,well they aren’t that hard to make from scratch,but a pain to buy since prices have gone up.I make elixirs a little different from them though. I can show you if you want?”

With a single nod from Link, Jay quietly explained what was needed and how to prepare the elixir. He crushed the moblin horn between his hands and mashed it until it was nearly dust.With that and the chopped chopped lizard Jay put them in a bowl and added smother wing butterflies. Next he went to the well and got a bucket of water, which he poured into the cook pot along with his ingredients. Grabbing a nearby ladle he stirred it up until it turned gray, reaching into his bag one last time he revealed a small sapphire. With a sparking hand he squeezed the gem until it melted into a glowing blue liquid that dripped into the pot. The concoction bubbled with a giant glow before settling into a black mixture.

“Well that’s it.”

Link:’What was the sapphire for?’

“Some gems have traces of power in them. Sapphires have the power of ice, which I added to make it less likely for us to get heatstroke and if we avoid any fights on the way there that just better our chances.”

Zelda:”That’s smart.”

Jumping slightly at her suddenappearance,Jay titled his head up to see Zelda standing behind him. In her hand was a letter and based of the grip she had around the parchment Jay decided not to ask about it.Fidgeting with his sleeves,Jay grabbed the bottles and started filling them up with the elixir.

“Are we heading to Goron city today?”

Zelda:”We are,but first we’ll have to make a detour. I need to vist the spring of power first.“

Nodding,Jay and Link filled the bottles with the elixir while Zelda sat at the table to write a letter to give the carrier. After cleaning the cooking pot and gathering what they wanted to take,Link grabbed his and Zelda’s horses and the group started for the spring of power. It was surprisingly close by and Jay marveled at all the red and oranges leaves in shadows pass. After a bit of walking they went off path and Zelda pointed out the spring to him,but Jay could sense the spring before they even reached it.Going down the hill and to the entrance,Zelda opened her bag to reveal a white dress. While she walked inside,Jay hung back with Link to ask how the whole process worked.

Link:‘She’s going to pray to Hylia for help awaken her power.’

‘How long does she pray for?’

Link:’Different each time. She goes at it for hours sometimes while others are only an hour or two. Lately it’s been the first.’

Jay frowned, he didn’t think just asking for answers would help her…atleast not asking alone.He does his own fair share of praying to the goddess and he never heard her talk, but she always left him with these feelings that would point him to the right direction and after every prayer he would leave an offering as a thanks.But if he needed to talk about how he felt then he’ll find Farosh.

*Maybe I should talk to her about Zelda. She sent me to aid her,but Hylia blocked me out.”

Feeling a hand tapping his shoulder, Link nodded towards the entrance and Jay followed him into the spring. It was beautiful, waterfalls were on the walls and large trees were stretched towards the sky. In the middle of the spring Zelda stood in a flowy white dress with gold jewelry, she looked exactly the same when he first met her. Link turned away from her and held his sword pointed to the ground, he was on guard. Shuffling his feet against the ground,Jay reached into his bag and gave a pouch of elixirs to Link.

‘I’m going to explore the canyon. I’ll clear the path and meet you two at Goron City.’

Link gave a single nod and Jay quietly left the spring and once he was out of sight he ran to the maw of death moutain. The first thing he could feel was hot steamy air,but he slowed to a stop to drink his own bottle of fireproof elixir, it tasted burnt.Scrunching his face he shook his head and began walking through the trail. As promised Jay cleared out all the monsters he could find as he walked, but the dragon got side tracked by the amount of ore deposits near the water and had to get his hands on the shiny gems inside. A hour went by just from mining alone and he came out with two diamonds, eight Rubys, eleven Topaz ,five Sapphires, ten opals and too many ambers.

“Maybe I should start selling gems too. Monsters part pay enough for supplies but a little more currency can’t hurt.”

Washing his hands off in the lake,Jay stilled and looked up the canyon with perked ears.The pebbles around his feet shifted and bounced as explosion erupted behind him in the distance. Faintly he could hear shouting, so slinging his bag over his shoulder Jay rushed to the noise.The temperature just seemed to rise even higher the closer he got.But causing all the chaos in the haze of heat and smoke was a huge Igneo Talus chasing a group of miners. Slitted eyes viewed the monsters soul to see a bright purple hue.

*Its not corrupted but definitely stronger and smarter than average. Gotta be careful.*

Bringing a hand to his mouth,Jay whistled to grab the lumbering rocks attention. Cracking his knuckles,Jay let his hands spark as he sprinted toward the monster. The lumbering rock raised its boulder like hand and in a burst of heat launches with newfound accuracy. Jay dodged as the rock exploded into flames, shielding his face from the blast. Squinting past the flames Jay released an attack of his own as a bolt of lightning collided with the Talus front, sending it teetering off balance. Sparking, Jay leaped into the air, curling into a ball he extended into a drop kick,sending the Talus colliding into the side of the moutain.

Jumping away from the next wave of heat, Jay grabs his swords and rushes to initiate his next attack, but what to seemingly appear out of nowhere,a group of fire breathing Lizalofs emerged from the flames. Baring his fangs Jay sends electricity around his blade and attacks swiftly and ruthless against the lizards, but with the towering talus looming over him Jay struggled to escape its fury and heat. Wiping sweat off his temple, Jay sliced down another Lizalof and kicked another that grabbed onto his shoulder. Using tail to gain some ground Jay smacked the group away and took a couple steps back. Trying to catch his breath in the stifling air, he stilled when a large Goron joined the fray.With a stone like sword the Goron came down with a loud battle cry as he slammed his weapon against the ground. The force and shockwave was enough to knock the lizaflos back.

???: You alright there?”

Jay couldn’t help but marvel at the strength the goron displayed, the lizards barely stood a chance against his overwhelming strength. Jay nodded his head at the Gorons booming voice and rushed to his side to cover his blind sides with a flash of his electric power.

”Thanks for the save.”

Checking over his shoulder he sees the flaming talus regaining its footing, Jay sent it crashing into the moutain earlier, but it appears his attack didn’t deter the monster. Sending a shockwave of lightning around him and the goron, the group lizalfos screech and drop to the ground motionlessly. Pushing his bangs out of his eyes, Jay pointed at the towering talus

”That’s the real threat right there. I don’t think my attacks are going to take it down. Got any ideas?”

???:”Hmmm, I’m not that fast on my feet alone, but you are. Let’s cordinate an attack. I do the heavy hitting and you smash the weak point.”

“Sounds good. I’ll distract it.”

Putting away his sword, Jay flexed his claws and dashed ahead, slicing down every lizalof that tried to slow him down. Behind him the goron rolled like a boulder getting ready to crush anything in its wake. Clenching his teeth, jay turned his speed to a new gear and kicked the talus to the side to keep it off balance. The Goron swung his weapon against its flame filled body as chunks of rock fell to the ground. They kept the coordinated attack, Jay would attack the ore before getting shook off, the goron would shield himself when a attack was thrown his way. But soon as the talus flames disappeared Jay leapt onto its head and clawed at the weak point. The goron below ecouraged him.

???:”Nice work,little guy! Keep crushing it!!!”

Balling his hands into fist he started pummeling the ore and after a hard right hook it shattered and to Jays surprise it burst into magenta flames. Grunting in pain, Jay felt himself getting thrown off but instead of hitting the ground he felt rough hands catching him and setting him to the ground. Suddenly a crimson shield surrounded him as the talus exploded in a bright pink flames. A dreadful aura followed.

“Its corrupted!!”

???:”Its what?!”

Wincing he nods as he staggered to his feet. The talus withered and shook as the ore grew back on its head. The size of its hands increased as it threw a boulder at the duo still incased in the gorons shield, the sudden strength of the attack had the goron clench his teeth and strengthen his ground. Making a shield of his own Jay raises his hands as gold sparks surged around them and push the talus back

”That monster has pure malice inside! I have to remove it before it gets worse!!”

???:”I don’t think that’s a good idea kid!! Get out of here and leave it to me!!”

Another bolder hits the shields and a large crack stretched across the surface. Death moutain rumbled above them and Jay threw his arms out to keep balance and instinctly grabbed onto the goron to steady himself. But with his power in use Jay felt his power connect with the power inside this gorons soul. Crimson filled his eyes and coursed through his horns as the firm firy strength came from the goron. Looking up Jay sees a flame like aura surrounding the gorons fist. The talus tried to hammer then into the ground but when it made contact a shockwave of fire and lightning pushed it far into the moutain.

???:”WOAH! Would ya look at that, haha! I feel unstoppable! What did you do?”

Jay looked at the goron with red eyes, he wasn’t sure what happened, but he wasn’t complaining about the newfound strength. Looking at the crimson sparks around his hands, he explains what he think happened.

“I think my power fused with yours. I didn’t…i didn’t know I could do tha-“

The talus smashed its body to the ground to make its limbs, before stomping towards them. Glaring the beast down,Jay let his power spark while the goron smashed his fist together

???:”Lets show this boulder what we’re made of! Ready to rock little guy!?”

Jay gave a determined nod and rushed ahead in a flash of crimson, he aimed and attacked the weak point while the goron attacked its body with his stone sword.They worked like a firy tornado and when the goron punched the talus into the air, Jay ran up the mountain side and leapt out and with a larger lightning bolt he slammed it against the ore as the monster turned into nothing but debris. Free falling, Jay managed to slow his decent by floating and he landed on his feet with a stumble. The red in his eyes left as he dropped on his backside, clearly winded and sweaty. Seeing the goron stepping towards him,Jay gave a gentle nod of appreciation

“Thanks again for the help.”

???:”No problem kid. Your actual pretty skilled yourself, what’s your name?”

“Jay, and you?”

???:”Daruk! Nice to meet ya.”

Jay eyes widened at the name and he realized he was talking to the legendary Daruk! Waving his hands in a apologetic gesture, Jay quickly fumbled out.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was you! The princess told me about you, but I didn’t think I see you this soon-“

Daruk:”Wait, your the new guy I’ve been hearin about! The hylian with the tail and fangs!”

Jay shrunk under Daruks gaze, he didn’t think word about his appearance would spread so quickly. But to his suprise the goron gave a hearty laugh and slapped him on the back with a proud grin. Confused Jay tilted his head.

Daruk:”You put up one heck of a fight, Jay. The mines would of been destroyed if you didn’t step in to protect my brothers. There the ones who came and told me to help ya out. I was mighty confused when they said a hyilan was fighting a igneo talus alone.”

Jay gave a tired smile, he wasn’t expecting that kind of reaction. Standing up Jay winced from the burns he got, but it made him wonder how the fire burned him so much. He was more fire resistant than the average,which made him conclude he was weak to malice fire. Turning to the remaining flames of the talus, Jay tensed when he saw a dark figure standing in the flames before fading to ashes.

“Wait! Who….ugh.”

Daruk:”Who’s-Jay?”

Dizzy, Jay pressed his hand against his sweat covered forehead, he got too hot. A large hand landed on his back and Jay felt himself being guided away from the flames to sit on a nearby rock. Daruk gave him a concerned look and asked

Daruk:”Are you alright little one? You looked like you got singed, and I’m far from being a healer, but I know hylian skin isn’t as tough as gorons.”

Glancing down at himself, Jay noticed the burns on his hands and arms, he had a few scorched marks on his clothes. The adrenaline coursing through him stopped him from feeling much of it. The dragon side of him made him pretty fire resistant, but he didn’t take account for malice-induced fire.

“I’m ok, just got too hot for a moment. I can treat my injuries myself.”

Daruk: "No way, Jay. You've done a great job helping us out, and You're coming with me to Goron City. We'll get you properly patched up and show you some real Goron hospitality."

"I don't want to be a burden."

Daruk:"Nonsense! You saved our mines and stepped in to protect my brothers. It's the least we can do. Besides, any friend of the princess is a friend of mine and we Gorons take care of our friends.”

Daruk smile was contagious and Jay found himself returning one of his own. Taking Daruks outstretched hand,Jay let himself be pulled up,grateful for the support when exhaustion started setting in. As they walked away from the battleground, he couldn't shake the image of the dark figure from his mind.

The two made their way to Goron City, the heat from Death Mountain's lava flows surrounding them. As they arrived, the bustling city was alive with the sound of Gorons hard at work. The sight was both intimidating and welcoming, with Gorons of all sizes pausing to nod in respect to Daruk, Jay noticed the curious looks he received and without much thought he floated and sat and Daruks shoulder with pinned ears.

Daruk:”It’s alright,Jay. They’re curious. It’s not common to see a hylian like you.”

“I’ve noticed…”

Daruk gave a chuckle and kept walking while,Jay looked around to satisfy his curiosity. It didn’t take long for Link and Zelda to arrive to the volcanic city. And just like Jay expected Zelda went straight to business and asked Daruk to be the pilot of the divine beast. The goron said yes without any hesitation, Jay didn’t even think Daruk thought about it before agreeing. Then the princess wanted to see the divine beast Vah Rudania, but without Links presences, so the blonde stayed back with Jay, who was hanging out in the medical cave in the city. Jay was shrugging of his jacket when he noticed the teen walking towards him.

“Hey, how did the spring of power go?”

Link:’Not good, but not bad either. Zelda didn’t pray as long, but she seemed….Distracted.’

”What you mean?”

Link frowned and his hands stilled in the air, cobalt eyes clearly thinking of a response. Eventually he slowly signed

Link:’She sounded frustrated. I try not to listen when she prays, I don’t want to intrude when she talks to the goddess. But she just sounded very different compared to the other times.’

Jay sighed, he knew Zelda unlocking her power wouldn’t be easy, but he understood her frustration, he just wished he could help her more.Tugging off his shirt, he applied some burn salve on his burns and bandaged them up, Jay saw links eye widen and he quickly signed.

Link:’What gave you those?’

“A igneous Talus, but me and Daruk handled it.”

Link:’Not that…Those scars.”

Jay tilted his head, he gave a small smile and pulled his shirt back on before shrugging.

“I grew up fighting monsters to earn rupees by selling monster parts. I started pretty young and I was reckless when i fought.This is just the outcome of that, but I learned and grew stronger from it.”

Link gave a nod and to Jays suprise rolled up his tunic to show a jagged scar going across his right side.Bringing his hands up he signed

Link:’From my first Lynel fight.’

“Well you live and you learn right? Come on, let’s catch up with Daruk and the princess.”

Link gave a smile and nodded, Jay shrugged his jacket back on and stood up with a stretch. The two teens walked up death mountain and caught up with Zelda and Daruk. To Jays amusement Daruk was standing behind Zelda while a dog stood across from them. Floating to the dog Jay scratched it on the head, reaching into his bag he gave the dog a raw chicken leg. The dog happily took the offering before trotting away.Jay looked at Daruk with a slight smirk

“Everything alright Daruk?”

Zelda covered her mouth,but Jay could tell she was grinning, Daruk let out a sigh of relief before he scratched his beard with a bit of embarrassment.

Daruk:”Yup…All good here.”

Zelda:”Daruks about to tame Vah Rudania. I going to explain and show him what he needs to do once we board her.”

“Oh, well I’ll leave you all to it then, I’m sure Daruk and Vah Rudanias souls will link just like Miphas did with Vah Ruta. I have to go.”

Turning away to leave, Zelda stopped him by grabbing his shoulder. She looked stressed as she tells him..

Zelda:”Where are you going? We still need to have you go to Vah Rudania. You watched Mipha when she tamed her divine beast.

“You don’t need me here for this. I only stayed during Miphas to see how piloting a divine beats works. Daruk can go to his divine beast without me, taming the beast has nothing to do with my prescence, but the soul of the one who wants to tame. I already confirmed Daruk is fit.”

Offering a gentle smile he reassured Zelda and rested a hand on her shoulder

“You are the one that needs to be here. That mind of yours is what is going to help your chosen pilot the divine beast. You can do it Princess you did it with Mipha and I know you can do it again.”

Pulling his hand away Jay expression suddenly became serious.

“I also need to go to make sure someone isn’t trying to interfere with our work. Earlier me and Daruk seen someone, I could sense corruption in their soul. And if this stranger poses a threat to you or anyones safety then I have to deal with them.I’ll meet you guys at the castle when your done here.”

Zelda gave him a nod, he saw a determined glint in Zelda’s eyes. Link and Daruk gave him a confident steely look, a silent message conveying they’ll keep a eye out and stay on guard. With a wave Jay turned and ran in a blur of gold.

As the sunsetted the moon took its place in the sky, Jay had returned to his home in Faron to rest and recoup some energy after todays work. But once he sensed the presence of a strong spirit, Jay left the comfort of his Minka and began flying to the guardian of the spring of courage. Squinting pass the wind Jay sees the sparks Farosh created, smiling softly Jay started to float until she flew up to him. Letting himself slowly descend he landed ontop of her head. Moving around her horn, Jay lightly rubbed her head, she hummed underneath him, a greeting he grew familiar with. Smiling, he sits down on her mane his hands combing through her hair.

“Hi, Farosh. I miss talking with you, I’ve been busy with the princess and picking the divine beast pilots. There’s two of them now and that brings us one step closer to being ready to fight the calamity.”

Frowning a little Jay, sighed softly and layed on his back. Looking at the inky yet star filled sky he quietly confessed.

“I can’t unlock Zelda’s power…Hylia doesn’t want me to and…I don’t know why. I know divine intervention is a big deal…I’m a walking example of it…But she has no one to help her understand how to unlock it…And her soul is…different.”

Farosh hummed again when he grew quiet,Jay rubbed his hands over his face and continues.

“There’s also this…person that I heard about and now I’m sure I’ve seen him twice. There’s a darkness around him…a malice nearly identical to ganons…Farosh, who is this?”

Jay pulled his hands down and watched Farosh sparks float around him, the warmth  from them made him feel safe. Farosh gave a low roar and Jay sat up to see what’s wrong. Looking up he sees a white spark coming from Farosh horn and it gently floated towards him.

“What’s this?”

Waiting for any type of noise from the dragon,Jay was left with silence as the small spark drifted his way. A bit hesitant Jay leaned away from it but the spark continued foward until it touch his forehead and he felt his eyes closing and his conscious going along with it.

Waking up Jay sat up to find his self in a dark chamber with incriptions on the walls. Standing up with a grunt Jay looked around and noticed a torch on his left, grabbing the source of light Jay held the torch towards the wall to see it showing the calamity.

The inscriptions depicted a massive dark beast surrounded by swirling tendrils of malice, comsuming the land of Hyrule. The destruction were both haunting and devastating, telling a tale of destruction and despair. Jay felt a chill run down his spine as he moved the torch along the walls, revealing more of the ancient story.

The further he went to explore, the inscriptions began to change on the stone walls.They showed a group of heroes, the champions, standing against the calamity. Each champion was depicted with their divine beast, fighting valiantly. Jay recognized Link and in his hand he held the master sword. Everyone charged to the calamity.

“Is this the future? Where’s the princess?”

Walking further Jay felt his breath catch in his throat, he held the torch higher. The inscription depicted a figure cloaked in darkness, standing beside the calamity. This figure's eyes glowed with malice, and Jay instantly recognized the malice surrounding it,he knew it was the same figure he had seen twice before. Jay continued down the hall, the air growing colder. He reached the end of the chamber, where a final inscription covered the wall. It showed a massive battle between light and darkness, with Zelda at the forefront, her power shining brightly. But there was also a shadow looming over her, a darkness that threatened to consume her light

*Is the calamity…Stopping her? Is that why how power isn’t coming to her? Is she afraid of it and that’s what blocking her connection?*

While jays mind turned into a flurry of thoughts his ears picked up the sounds of footsteps. Turning on his heel,Jay eyes slitted as the corrupted soul emerged from the darkness. A hylian with skin as gray as ash, a circlet on his temple and a cloak on his shoulders. Jay instantly knew this is the hylian that hurt Chio.The cloak figures deep voice shattered the silence.

???:”Its beautiful isn’t it? The fall of Hyrule. The prophecy of Calamity’s reign. The rise and takeover of Malice.”

“Who the hell are you supposed to be?”

The cloaked figure stepped forward, the dim light from the torch casting eerie shadows across his face. He smiled, a cold and malevolent expression. Jay let his nails sharpen into claws, he kept his face stoic and calm. The stranger spoke..

???:"I am Astor, the prophet of Calamity Ganon. And you, boy, have meddled in affairs far beyond your understanding."

“Your the one meddling, you are corrupting souls of monsters all over Hyrule and making them stronger, and for what?”

Astor:"For the glory of Calamity Ganon, of course. His return is inevitable, and when he rises, Hyrule will fall into eternal darkness. The corrupted souls are just the beginning; they will pave the way for the true power of the calamity."

“Your delusional if you think I’ll let that happen. The divine beast will soon have all their pilots and the master sword has already been claimed by the chosen hero.”

Astor:”Such naivety, You truly believe you and your little band of mortals can stand against the might of Ganon and his malice? Your nothing but dirt underneath his feet.”

Jay took a step forward lightning cracking around him as he dropped the torch. Malice wrapped around Astor his darkness contrasting Jays light.

“I’m not fighting alone, the champions aren’t either. You have ganon in your corner but we have blessed power and the power of the goddess on our side. And we all are coming for you with everything we got.”

Astor eyes narrowed and his smile widen, the shadows around him made him look less human. Astors voice dripped with scorn.

Astor:”Hylias power doesn’t hold a candle to what Ganon is capable of and that power your relying is the same power Zelda can’t even hold, correct?. Without her full power none of you stand a chance.”

Jays tail flicked and he smirked, crossing his arms he boldly told the prophet.

“Your fights not with her, it’s with me. My power is your weakness and I will gladly take you down to give my side a chance and when I’m down with you I’ll go after Ganon next.”

Astor's smile faded, replaced by a look of cold fury. "We shall see about that. Enjoy your fleeting moments of hope, boy. They won't last long.”

Raising his hand malice crawled out the darkness and surged towards Jay with intent to kill. Not moving from his postion, his power grew brighter and collided with the prophets darkness. Jay could feel he was stronger then the prophet so he pushed foward as the light overwhelmed his darkness. A shockwave pushed the two apart, Jay slid back as Astor fell to the ground. Astor's eyes burned with malice as he rose to his feet, dusting off his cloak. Jay frowned,but the movement behind Astor had his blood run cold. Behind him stood a tall figure, with fiery red hair.

Astor:”This is far from over. Ganon's power is growing, and when he rises, everything will perish in his wake.”

Astor was consumed by the darkness and Jay was left alone in the chamber and he felt something pull in his mind. Suddenly he wakes up with a gasp and jolts foward. Breathing hard he looks around to see nothing but stars and sparks from Farosh, Jay looked down to see her purple eye staring at him. In the silence of the night,jay whispered…

“So that’s his name, Astor.”

Went back to the zora to deal w my second divine beast bc I got sick of not being able to explore due to the rain.

I'M IN ABSOLUTE SHAMBLES OVER MIPHA OH MY GOD 😭😭😭😭

she deserves the universe... I'M SO SAD SHE DESERVES TO TALK TO HER DAD AGAIN... I'm glad she at least got to talk to link one more time ;____; is2g every time it's shown her interacting w link in this game I've struggled not to cry lmao

As for the rest of it - found the initial bit before going into the dungeon way more fun than the rito one - it felt a lot more involved and sidon felt a lot more involved than the rito dude too (I forgot his name and feel bad about it 😔)

The actual dungeon was a lil more frustrating? Mostly that damn water wheel you gotta freeze the spout on so you can reach the terminal. I keep forgetting you can freeze things. And then there were bits I kept cheesing w revali's gale 😂

Waterblight was... Something this time. I got the master sword a day or two ago and it really just obliterates these fights huh

Kabre's Tale

Kabre awoke with a fright. It had been years since his dreams haunted him so, not since the eldritch beast had been laid low by the four Beasts of the Sheikah's own making. 

The Beasts and their makers had promised peace, that through such a sheer use of force could the incarnation of evil be conquered once more. 

And peace did come, for a time. The evil one was vanquished and he, along with four others, were hailed as heroes. The princess and the werewolf, when the fight was done, made their home together in their big castle full of tiny people. Tiny puppies came along shortly afterwards, a girl first and then a boy, and proved that the two tribes of tiny people could become one.

There had been whispers all throughout the peace, but Kabre paid them no mind. After all, peace had remained.

A roar shook Death Mountain shortly after he awoke. It was not the mountain itself. Like the rest of his people, he rushed out of his home and looked over the city as they were transfixed by the sight they saw. The Light Dragon, whose sighting was so rare it was considered an omen, climbed the sky as it drew closer to Goron City. As it roared again, tears falling from its eyes as it soared higher in the dark and lonely sky, tiny guards were seen rushing towards the waiting Gorons. 

Kabre was the first to greet them. And why shouldn’t he be, when he was so familiar to them? They were guards, three tiny people, encircling a midsized pup covered in blood. The smaller pup of the princess’ two. He couldn’t resist his instinct to open his arms out to the bloody pup, who bolted into them, calling out his name in tears. “What’s the matter, goro? Why are you bleeding?”

The lava coursing through his arms didn’t burn the pup, it was clear an elixir had already been administered. The little one curled up in his arms, soaking in his warmth as he cried. 

The guards drew closer to the pair, bowing to the towering Goron. “The Princess’ husband has been killed by her daughter. Prince Karu was found fighting her off.”

He tightened his arms around the werewolf prince, not as young but definitely still a child. He didn’t know how to respond. “Why here?”

“Many of the Wolfbred in the Castle have been killed, several Sheikah too. The Princess ordered us to take the prince to the nearest ally. The volcano is not safe for her now, so she has escaped to the second-nearest ally. We believe she is safe.”

“How dreadful… you are all welcome as long as you need.”

Prince Karu and his protectors stayed for two days. Many elixirs were needed, but they were happily provided free of charge. Additional guards came by midday after their arrival, to inform that the Princess was safe in Zora’s Domain and her father and daughter was successfully imprisoned. The pair would stand before Hylia, the Princess and her son as witness, three days later. 

Karu returned four. His eyes were dim, and the Crest of Hylia was now suddenly emblazoned on his suit’s collar. 

Hylia had destroyed his sister’s soul for his crimes, and chosen him as her replacement.

Initially, Kabre was floored that Hylia would destroy one of her own bloodline, but the statistics on just how many lives had been ruined by the young princess’ hand rivaled that of even Calamity Ganon. Two entire tribes chased out of the kingdom into exile, with a wake of bodies behind them.

The former king should thank the Goddess for having mercy on him, and not destroying him too.

With Karu’s mother, newly widowed with a third pup on the way, as the new queen and Karu as the new heir to the throne, Kabre simply could do nothing but pray to Hylia that she would guide them forward from this tragedy.

About a season after the tragedy, the Queen delivered her pup. A new prince that she named Kumi. It was as if his father’s presence had simply evaporated from the newborn’s figure when he left this world: the baby had mostly Hylian skin, with only the ears, eyes and snout of his late father. Twelve year old Karu assisted his mother with Kumi, as much as the Castle staff would let him, as he was prepared to become the first male to ascend to the throne of Hyrule since the Great King Rauru himself. He did not trim his hair at all during this time. To the tiny people, hair is seen as a holder of memories, something that can witness affairs. While the general consensus was the King wished to preserve the presence of his departed father, Kabre knew the true reason was a fear of forgetting his sister's evil and allowing himself or his descendants to let history repeat itself with the other tribes. He kept his hair clean, pulled back in a long, thin ponytail, even as his hair nearly nicked his thighs. 

At first, Kabre watched this all from afar as he remained on Death Mountain. When Karu turned seventeen, the Queen invited her surviving Champions to the Castle for Karu’s coronation. The reunion’s poignancy nearly overwhelmed him; seeing old friends with the clear hole the Hero’s death left. Karu was crowned as the King of Hyrule, one of the two last werewolves of Hyrule as its king.

When the time came for the young king to choose an advisor, he shakily approached Kabre and pleaded for his acceptance.

From there on out, Kabre served the Royal Family not just as its Goron Champion, but as advisor to the King too. Two decades after the ancient evil had been defeated, Hyrule was finally healing from its wounds.

To say the king’s courage was fragile was obvious. As a child, the king had watched his father and entire people be destroyed by his own sister, then watched said sister be destroyed by Hylia herself. And there is no afterlife for souls that are destroyed. He was still haunted by nightmares of her, nightmares that Kabre could do nothing to fix. The Sheikah and Gerudo were both masters of nightly ailments, but the Sheikah were gone and the Gerudo tried their best. Karu was a wise king, which soon became apparent. He consulted with the Goddess on every matter, no matter how many of his subjects would be affected.

The most vivid memory that Kabre kept of King Karu’s relationship with the Goddess he descended from came during a very early morning on the Great Plateau. Karu had made a sudden departure the evening before, a journey he wished to take alone. Kabre was eventually able to talk the king into letting him accompany, but could not argue for more soldiers. Upon arriving at the birthplace of Hyrule, the two went separate ways. There were not many threats on the sacred plateau, Karu need not be so guarded. After sampling some of the regional ore, Kabre found strange flora: a blue and white flower growing in pairs. His king loved to study strange flora, no matter the perceived beauty. Surely this beautiful flower would bring joy to his burdened soul. When he found his king, he found a sight even more beautiful and somber than the flowers placed gently in the burlap sack. 

Karu was on his knees, weeping bitterly with hands raised towards the Goddess Statue. His hair had been released from its ponytail, and draped over his back and shoulders like a golden cape as it curved over his body towards the ground. 

According to the Hylians, kings don’t cry. But this one not only cried, but weeped in the presence of his goddess. Kings don’t bow, but this one kneeled fully with hands raised to Her in worship as he did so.

Kabre had experienced many rulers in his years alive, from all different people. But in this incidental witnessing of such vulnerable praise, Kabre knew for certain that Karu was his. The young man had been given every reason to turn his back on the Goddess, from evil and pain and suffering to his own great power. But despite all these reasons, Karu drew ever nearer to Her, and brought his hurting people ever closer to her too. Despite all the power that had been misused in his short life, despite all the courage he lacked as a result… Karu had wisdom. Undying, unwavering wisdom gained from his deepest desire to never stop learning, to always do better for his people, and to honor the Goddess with it all. And that is why Karu is his king.

So that when history repeats itself, and it always will, they will have the wisdom to change the outcome. They can make amends. And just like long ago, they can be united once more.

Hyrule's Final Stand Masterlist

[cara-the-yiga-footsoldier]

Daruk is such a big dork I swear lol

He's afraid of dogs and I adore him for that. Guys who dislike dogs are appreciated here— besides Dingo, he and his cynophobia can go somewhere else >:(

[imaginethezeldaverse]

🥺🥺🥺 Of course, Anon. Oh gosh, the big lug would be so worried about you too. Okay, okay, I got you. Daruk taking care of sick reader (and getting some help from his friends along the way!):

A large hand descended gently on your forehead. He always ran warm, but the way you shivered and shook under those pelts he thought was normally reserved for cold weather responses - and yet here you were, burning up even on his skin. Daruk's long, white eyebrows turned up in concern. His biology being so different from yours, he didn't understand what exactly what was wrong at first. Thankfully some travelling Hylians managed to clarify once Daruk explained to them how you were feeling. You were dealing with a really bad cold - which would make sense to you having just come from the Hebra mountainside two days ago and running out of spicy elixirs about halfway through your trip. The temperature swap from bone-chilling cold to sweltering heat within that timeframe had caused you to get pretty sick. So much so that you were reduced to a weak mess, groaning from the febrile chills and body aches that plagued you. A message had been sent out to Princess Mipha, directly from Daruk, asking for a healing potion that would hopefully fix you right up; having seen her heal people constantly, Daruk figured she was the best person to ask. Upon feeling his hand on your forehead, you stirred at the contact, a pained wince escaping you. Daruk didn't mean to wake you, but seeing as you were now, he carefully rummaged through your pack. Pouring some water into a small bowl, he kneeled next to you, "Up you go, sweetheart," as his hand came behind your head to prop you up. Your whole body felt akin to lead and ice, but you did your best to lift your head regardless. Daruk touched the bowl to your lips, gently leaning it back as you drank. When you'd had enough, you settled back under the pelts, shivers wracking your entire body in horrid waves. The Goron champion made his way to your kitchen, pulling a rag from your pack on the way; he doused it with water, remembering the words of those Hylian travelers who explicitly mentioned that cool cloths would help bring your temperature down. Before long you felt the touch of a cool, damp cloth lay across your forehead. An involuntary whine escaped you, "Shhh, I know, I know, I'm sorry," Daruk cooed, gingerly dragging his thumb down to carefully caress your warmed cheek. The soft strokes on your skin were comforting, and even though you couldn't see him because your eyes refused to open, you knew his touch meant 'I'm here'. The stoney stalwart was admittedly terrified to see you in a such a state. Gorons weren't prone to getting sick like this, and with his knowledge being next to nothing on Hylian illness, he felt almost helpless. Knowing what he does now, he was determined to stay by your side until you were completely better. He'd learned to make some porridges as an easy meal to help you build your strength back up. At one point he'd heard your weakened voice call for him, "Daruk..." you croaked through your shivering, eyes barely half open. His worried expression carried over in his voice, "What's wrong? Are you in pain?" Try as you might, you couldn't find the words to ask him what it was you wanted, so instead you used the very little strength you had to push yourself into his arms - which in actuality ended up with you barely being able to drape your arms over his crossed legs. However, Daruk had caught onto what you wanted, picking you up as gently as he could, and holding your tired frame close in his arms. You snuggled into his chest, relishing the heat his body gave off. He pressed his lips to your temple, frowning at how warm your body still was - but he understood that what you wanted was comfort. Daruk held you that way for a while, rubbing your back as you shook in his hold and kissing away any of your pained whines and moans. When he finally got you back to your bed so you could rest some more, he'd heard a gentle knock at the door. The airy woosh of wings sounded outside of your bedroom before Daruk had finally made his way to answer the commotion. A blue scarf, much like his own, had caught Daruk’s eye. "I assume this little bottle isn't for you, is it?" came the smooth voice of Revali, his Rito champion companion. "’Fraid not," answered Daruk, who quickly looked back at your bedroom door, just as you groaned from your aching. Revali held out his wing, “You’re lucky, I happened to be at Zora’s Domain picking up some fish - Mipha had asked me to drop this off,” he dropped the bottle into Daruk’s hand, “She said to add some of the hot spring water you have here in the mountains.” Daruk slowly curled his fist around the glass, a grateful smile gracing his face, the spring water would be perfect to help you feel better, that he was sure of!  Turning on his talons, Revali gave a short ‘hmph’, “Normally I wouldn’t waste my time to go out of my way to Eldin,” he turned halfway toward his comrade, a small smile barely peeking through his beak, “...But I suppose it’s different when it’s your friends that are in need.”  His Goron cohort chuckled, “Yer alright, Revali,” Daruk swiped at his nose, “And ya have my thanks.” Wordlessly the Rito champion took off with Daruk shortly making his way to the nearest hot spring to gather a bit of it into the bottle and shake up the concoction. It turned an earthy red, a familiar color he’d seen on the battlefield before when training with his fellow champions not too long ago. He wasted no time waking you once more to sip the potion, your face screwing up in disgust from the aftertaste. But as soon as you did, you felt your shivering start to diminish, the pelts covering you comfortably now instead of barely keeping in the warmth you constantly sought.  Large fingers held to your forehead once more, a rumbly sigh of solace sounding just above you. Your eyes fluttered open, “Daruk...?”  His smile was warm, dark blue eyes filled with relief and contentment. A hand cradled your back as he helped you sit upright, “Ya almost had me in a panic there, sweetheart...never seen ya that sick before.” You eased yourself into his big arms, “I’m sorry, hunny, I didn’t mean to make you worry so much.”  Kisses were pressed into your cheek and forehead as he held you tight against him, “I’m just glad you’re feelin’ better.” It was your turn to give him a kiss, though yours was one of gratitude.  “Knowing I’ve got the great Daruk to take care of me, I was bound to be better in no time.” Daruk couldn’t stop the wide grin that stretched across his face, happy as ever to see you feeling like yourself already. He’d have to remember to thank his friends for the timely assistance.

Who fell first/who fell harder? Love language. Pet names.

Revali:

He fell first, but you fell harder. It wasn't obvious at first, but the way he looked at people, who you spend a lot of time with, who made you laugh. He was sooo jealous. Spinning around you, showing why he is better option then guy you just talked to.

His love language is quality time. He is ready to spend every minute with you, showing off or just talking. At first you will think he is just annoying as hell, but after some talks he would find way to make you comfortable. Even if it means that he should ask someone about things you like.

Pet names, huh? "Darling, sweetheart, little sparrow, birdie". (No one can change my mind:) And it doesn't really matter if you aren't rito)

Sidon:

You fell first, but he fell harder. This man told you about his feelings as soon as they appeared, so no way you won't know about that. And he never would be ashamed!

His love language is physical contact. Really. Every time you are around he is so touchy! Hugs, kisses, everything is here. He would literally hold onto your then he is sad. (You'll get double of that if it's Sidon+Yona)

Pet names are difficult... Probably "Sunshine, pearl, love, my queen" and something like that.

Daruk:

He fell first, but you fell harder. It's a little complicated with him. He fell first, but it took some time to understand that. Probably someone from his fellow champions pointed at his affection towards you (he talked about you so much that others knew your favorite color and what is your favorite place in Hyrule) and it clicked.

His love language is quality time. Literally spending every second of his free time with you! But of course if you are comfortable with that. He knows then to stop.

He uses: "love, babe, jem, sweet cheeks" as nicknames for you. Sometimes "honey bun", telling you that you are as sweet as one.

Yunobo:

He fell first and he fell harder. It's just the way he is. So sweet and cute. He cares about you deeply, and was so nervous to tell you what he feels, because he was scared he would ruin your friendship. (You probably was the first one to confess)

Gifts! And a lot! Yeah. His love language is gift giving. He remembers every little thing that you mentioned in your talks, or you looked a little too long at market. And he will get it for you! He wants to make you happy! But if you do the same he would be so embarrassed to take something from you!

Can "goro" be called pet name? I think yes. If we talk about another options... "Sweetheart, my love, ruby (Yeah. Goron Ruby), baby, sunshine" will work, along with every sweet name he would master at moment.

Female characters here!

And my requests are open!

[metamatronic]

meanwhile, in eldin…

i do love daruk, but i think it’s hilarious that this comic is 99% other random gorons.
