Mer-Twilight!!!

Design and special thanks to @elgatt0!!!!!

GO SUPPORT THEM AND THEIR AWESOME AU!!!

I was about to do a comic inspired by this au but when I was scrolling for references I saw Twilight's design and my playlist played "Not Tomorrow - Silent Hill 1". I felt a strange kind of sadness and I felt that that was a sign to draw him.

I'm not completely happy with his face but it was getting late.

I'm almost finishing a request I had but I felt like drawing something for me.

Thanks for reading!

[torpetavantas-artedition]

It's the mer squad! Seeing them together makes me happy. There are still more to come!

Help I can’t play totk for three more days

Chilling in Wind's Great Sea

Sky is having a calm morning with Aryl, telling her about Skyloft. Wind and Wild.... Quite the opposite.

Twi doesn't have light clothes, most of Wild's clothes are magical but one red shirt, fortunately it fits Twi even if it's tight. Twi didn't want to get in the water, Wind pushed him in, so now he has to ask a shirt (again)

Wild is immortalizing Twi's misery.

Legend as well refuses to go near the water. Wars decides to take care of it.

Now they know why Legend didn't want to go in the water. Four is starting to think that everyone in this group has a secret transformation. Wild asks the real questions. Legend is thinking to kill all three of them.

This are all fun quick sketch so they may not look the best (Four was fucking hard to draw) I have other ideas for the Chain's "Beach Episode" so maybe I will do more, maybe not. Depends on my inspiration.

The chain w/reader who has a food allergy

LU x GN Reader -- SFW -- Can be seen as platonic or romantic for all but Wind (and twilight + sky have stuff dependent on relationship with reader!)

Reader has a food allergy, and tells the respective links! i know theres no epipens or anything of that sort in loz, but lets just pretend theres smth similar and ofc most of the chain has never had to learn abt that, okok?

he doesn't really understand at first

you'd have to like.. explain that whatever youre allergic to could kill you/impact your health

he'd 100% reorganize his slate/pad (depending on which version of him youre tellin) so that any ingredients you're allergic to are on their own page

he'll also go around to every other link and figure out if anyone else is allergic to something so he knows

he's the cook, its his job!!

if he's ever made you something that has what youre allergic to in it, he feels really guilty about it. you never ate it (obviously) and he's never thanked someone for not eating his cooking before, but theres a first time for everything

he also makes it a point to tell you everything he puts in his food after that. he does NOT want to accidentally make you ill or, like, kill you.

when he learns what cross contamination is...

he's seen scrubbing everything he uses to cook like his life depends on it

yours does, which is close enough in his eyes

probably saw you avoiding it like no tomorrow and made a note of it.

he assumed you just disliked whatever it was, and always offered to take yours as a little 'i see you dont like that, ill take it and keep quiet about it' type thing

you assume he just straight up figured out that you're allergic, so you make an offhanded comment about being allergic and are surprised when he's surprised.

its an entire thing.

after he figures out you're actually just allergic, he's probably start suggesting alternatives/replacements for those specific ingredients to wild.

especially if its seasonings of some sort. he will start complaining about the seasonings in it like no tomorrow to get wild to stop using them

he'll make himself politely insufferable

ofc all of that would come AFTER he pushes you to tell the others, and only if you don't

if it's a part of dishes that's commonly a side (ie potatoes or smth) and youre too embarrassed to request without, he'll request his without and just switch with you.

he won't make a big deal out of it or anything, he'll just make it apparent he cares

okay, so youd bring it up expecting him not to care, or to act like he doesnt care

and like.. he has the whole grumpy guy thing going on, but he DOES care, and he isn't ashamed to admit it??

he asks how allergic you are, if you have any other allergies, what he might be able to do to help, etcetc

understands the most out of everyone why you might want to keep it a secret - weaknesses and all that

suddenly he hates every food with your allergy in it.

it confuses the hell out of the others - especially if its one of his favorites or something

legend will act like nothing has changed in that regard

if youre allergic to fish though he gets really unsure about some things because of the mermaid suit making him a merman

are you allergic to him now??

if he ever ends up in that form around you he'd probably panic like no tomorrow because of that specific allergy

he understands that its dangerous for you to consume this food item

but the danger of it doesn't fully process for him

if he knows something has something youre allergic to in it, and he happens to remember that youre allergic, he'll let you know

but otherwise? ehh.. yeah, he'll probably just tell wild and let him know not to make anything with that in it anymore.

ofc, if you guys are in a relationship, or he's starting to like you as a bit more than a friend, he'll put more effort into remembering these things

ESPECIALLY in a longer term relationship - that's when he'll end up cutting whatever it is youre allergic to out of his diet as well, that way he won't accidentally end up giving it to you without thinking about it

in that case scenario, if it's anything with meats, he may end up actually just putting rules for himself down - can only eat it here here and here, but not here here and here

if its strictly platonic though? yeah, he'll probably forget at least twice

honestly the most normal about it when it's platonic, bit out there when its romantic, but yk

he does NOT understand what the big deal is at first

honestly, you'll likely experience an allergic reaction before he panics himself and realizes what a big deal this is

even if its a minor/mild allergy he'll understand better once he SEES

i feel like skyloft has the same old, same old, and that there are probably very little hylians allergic to anything up there

they probably know what allergies ARE, but moreso in the theoretical sense

after he realizes that his half a lesson on what allergies are 100% downplayed it, he'll bombard you with questions

what *exactly* is it that youre allergic to? is it this part, this part, or the entire thing? how long before it starts affecting you?

similar to wild, he'll do his best to make sure there's no cross contamination

if you're keeping it a secret, he'll just start volunteering to wash the dishes, that way he knows it's done in a way that won't result in you getting hurt

if you ever go into anaphylactic shock, this guys is the second to start crying as soon as you're a-okay

he mother hens you like no tomorrow when you have an allergic reaction

almost completely at your beck and call

if u two are together, or in that pre relationship flirty stage, he'll lay on you and that'll be his way to make sure you're resting, even if you insist you don't need it.

he's used to having to make note of things like that and setting up accommodations

does not think twice abt it tbh

just nods, thanks you for telling him, and then makes sure wild knows not to make any food with that in it anymore

if something accidentally happens, he is calm and collected.

again, he's probably seen allergic reactions plenty of times, so he knows what to do

he might even go ahead and use you as a teaching opportunity for at LEAST hyrule, tbh

yk how after you use an epipen and your allergic reaction stops theres the really bad cotton mouth and sometimes you'll think it's still going on?

he'll have your mouth open to show hyrule youre a-okay and just need some water now whether you like it or not (if you tell him to back off, or smack his hand, he'll get the point though, don't worry)

again, he doesn't think much of it, and just stashes the information into he back of his mind for later use when needed

much like sky he has the theoretical knowledge of what allergies are, but no practical

unlike sky, and more like wild, he goes out of his way to try and eradicate it from even potentially touching you

lowkey probably scares him, because he's never helped take care of someone with an allergy, and he doesn't know if his healing powers would work on it or not

he'll be like sky (again) and ask you a ton of questions about it. that's a kind of reoccurring theme, dw

he'll feel a lot better about knowing how to help after the first time you have an allergic reaction around him (if ever)

it'll help even more if you stay calm, and if warriors is around to assist, since he kinda knows

after he has that knowledge stored away, he's much more relaxed about it

like.. he still mother hens the food situation to make sure there are none if your allergens in there

but he won't be as twitchy when you eat something at an inn theyre stopping at that doesn't list the ingredients under each item

makes a note of it and moves on, pretty much

its not that he doesnt care, he just...doesnt know what to do with the information

he's thankful you told him, but????

he doesn't really think it's his place to try and make sure youre safe and all that

youve lasted your entire life without someone sticking their nose in your food business

youve lasted allll the rest of your time with the chain just fine without intervention

if it works, why try and fix it?

honestly, the most he might do is tell you to let wild and hyrule know so that the respective cook and healer of the group are aware

if youve already told them he just kinda... moves on.

he won't ever mention it, won't go out of his way to protect you from... food.

of course, there are some slight.. shifts, sometimes, depending on which link that rests in his mind is controlling the most at the moment

vi? does not gaf. he trusts that you're able to take care of yourself

green? will probably give you a little look if you start choking or smth while you eat to make sure youre okay, he just won't bring attention to it unless he thinks something is wrong

red will side eye you when you guys are all eating. if you ask him why afterwards, he'll frown and say he was a bit worried because he was pretty sure the dish had (insert allergy here) but that he's glad youre okay

blue... blue will act like he doesn't gaf, much like vi, but he will definitely glare a little. if you end up asking him, he'll complain about how long it took for you to tell them

he is HYPED about this

not because it could hurt you though

just because he's never met someone with a food allergy, and he definitely has a seasonal allergy of some kind, so he's super excited to see how different they are

he was never really taught about allergies beyond the fact that his makes his eyes all itchy and nose runny

once you explain the differences, he's a bit surprised, that's for sure.

what do you MEAN this random food the rest of us can eat just fine might KILL you???

he's a bit flabbergasted

especially if you're allergic to shellfish or fish.

oh MAN he is so heartbroken about that if so - he'll totally end up approaching you seperately one day and asking if you'd still be safe to go on a boat ride with him and everyone else - he doesn't wanna put you in danger, after all!

he doesn't bother with a lot of worrying for you

he wholeheartedly trusts that you can take care of yourself just fine.

if hes the first person you told though, he WILL be holding that over everyone's head

he will stand by the idea of being your favorite bc of that until the end of time

if i missed anything pls lmk!! i wrote this in a fevered daze bc im actually so sick rn LOL pls feel free to request anything, if it makes me uncomfortable i just wont do it (least till i put up a boundaries type thing i suppose)

Febuwhump 2025 - A Siren's Song

Chapter 2: "I did good, right?"

Prev

Read on ao3

Legend shut his mouth, teeth clicking together with an audible snap. 

Time and Twilight took one more step then froze in place, eyes still glassy and distant, but blessedly clear of the water, which lapped at their chins.

Legend silently gnawed on a claw, panic rising in his chest. He had to get them back to shore. He refused to be the reason more people he loved died.

But if he took one back, the curse could drag the other under while he wasn't looking!

He needed to get them both back, together.

But how?

Wait.

The Siren's Song drew men to the water to drown.

The Siren's Song drew men to the water to drown!

Desperately, silently, Legend swam toward Twilight, pawing at the neck of his tunic until a claw caught at the leather thong that held the Rancher's dark crystal. Careful not to touch the black and orange stone - who knew what turning into a bunny now would do to their situation - he turned the stone onto Twilight and touched the Rancher's cheek.

Immediately, shadows surrounded Twilight's form, clearing after a moment to leave a wolf paddling in his place.

Wolfie blinked. Shook his head. His face contorted in a surprisingly Hylian look of confusion as he took in the water, his position in it, and Legend floating anxiously nearby.

Wolfie huffed a bark and tilted his head, the question clear. What happened?

Crap. Sign was nearly impossible with claws and webbed fingers, but Legend had to try. "Curse," he managed, letting his fingers speak for him. "Voice bad, need help!"

Wolfie's eyes widened as he looked around again. He gave a determined bark before tilting his head again. What do you need me to do? 

"You. Air under water. Yes?" Legend's fingers twisted, mangling the signs. He prayed Twilight would understand. 

Wolfie nodded, and Legend almost fainted from relief.

"Good!" he signed. "Put on, help Time. Z-O-R-A face."

Wolfie's eyes widened in understanding; moments later the shadowy cloud cleared, leaving Twilight floating in the wolf's place, his time as Wolfie having broken the spell.

Legend was not jealous at how easy his transformation had been.

"That's a pretty tail you've got there, Vet," Twilight grinned as he fished in his pack for his Zora gear.

"Shut up," Legend signed, pouting.

Twilight laughed as he donned the blue hat and golden helm of his Zora armor, pulling the black veil up and over his mouth and nose. 

"Right," he said, ducking under water to make sure it worked. "Now, why can't we just drag Time back like this? You 'n me together?"

Legend sighed bubbles into the water and made a gesture he hoped conveyed be my guest.

They each grabbed one of Time's arms and began to drag him backwards. They hadn't gone more than two strokes when Time's feet disappeared from underneath him; the weight of his armor dragged him down, causing him to sink beneath the waves.

Twilight yelped and dove to grab his mentor. Legend towed them back to the place Time had stopped, until the one-eyed hero stood placidly on his own again. 

Twilight turned wide eyes onto Legend.

Legend shrugged. "Song powerful," he signed as best he could. "Drown one way or another."

"So we have to break the song somehow," Twilight murmured.

Legend nodded and again signed, "Z-O-R-A face."

"Of course! You broke the song's power over me by usin' my crystal." Twilight dove underwater and grabbed Time's mask pouch, loosening it and pulling it up with him. He began to dig inside. "Only makes sense that Time's Zora mask would do the same thing." He exclaimed in triumph as he pulled out the mask.

"I've never seen him use one of these before," Twilight said, turning the mask over in his hands. "I don't know what to expect."

Legend shrugged minutely and opened his mouth, only to sink his needle-sharp teeth into the side of his hand. He'd been about to speak, and that would have signed Time's death sentence. Already, he could see the clouds in Time's eye drawing closer together - the cursed song would not be appeased for much longer. "Hurry," he signed anxiously.

Twilight nodded and carefully placed the mask over Time's face.

The mask seemed to clamp down, like it was digging into his skin; Time curled forward as every muscle contracted then threw back his head and screamed as the transformation coursed across his body. Legend and Twilight clung to his arms to keep him floating as skin and armor turned to scaly flesh.

Finally, Time hung from their grasp, panting slightly as the transformation finished. He opened bleary eyes and gazed around, much as Twilight had. "What happened?" he murmured. 

He'd done it. They were safe. Legend's voice burst from his throat before he could stop it. "I cursed you both, that's what happened!" Tears welled in his eyes. "I almost killed you both..."

Time flinched as the song ghosted across his mind, finding nothing to latch onto; Twilight’s eyes went glassy, and he sunk beneath the waves.

"Crap!" Legend left Time swimming under his own power and dove for Twilight, hauling him back to the surface. He turned to Time, all thoughts of the beauty of this era fled from his mind, haunted and exhausted by the last hour's ordeal. "We need to get him to shore, and get me out of this damned water."

Time nodded and took Twilight from Legend's grasp. With a flick of webbed feet and finned tail, they made their way back to the Spirit's spring. Twice more across the short distance, Twilight's weight dropped beneath the waves, but his Zora helm protected him.

Legend hauled himself up the stairs, arms trembling. As soon as he left the water's embrace, the mermaid's curse began to reverse. 

He cringed and sobbed as his tail shredded down the middle, growing Hylian bones and sinew once more. His skin burned as scales retracted, and the muted ache in his hands and mouth roared back to life as teeth and claws dulled. Distantly, he felt Time's hands flutter around him, trying to help, to comfort, to soothe, but he curled away from the contact, rolling tightly into himself to contain the raging inferno.

Legend coughed and hacked water from his lungs as his gills sewed themselves shut. He wanted to pass out this time, but as clean, cool air entered his lungs, it extinguished the flames of his transformation, leaving him shivering on the sun-warmed stone. 

"I did good, right?" he whimpered, to no one in particular. 

He startled as a warm blanket was draped across his body. "Yes, Vet," Time's deep voice soothed, "you did good. You saved us both."

"You just rest, Lege," Twilight's voice joined in, and oh, it was wonderful to hear them both, safe and sound and alive. "We'll find the others once you're feelin' up to it, 'kay?"

"Okay," Legend hummed, already drifting into sleep's embrace.

They were safe.

Splitting pain

Ao3

merleg!!

Warning for graphic description of mer transformation, including a tail splitting in half and kind of drowning

Sky scanned the surface of the water for the next few hours as he tried to search for any evidence that his brother was fine, hopefully in some boat or raft

What he wasn't expecting was Legend's face to pop out of the water, exhausted as he called for them.

"Vet!" He called, bringing Twi's attention, who came running into the shallow water with him to drag their collector out.

The vet was panting as they dragged him into the shallows, Sky tried to ignore the massive fish tail and scales all over his body but it was hard not to look at the dazzling pink.

Legend looked almost nothing like his hylian self, pink and gold scales covering his entire body, his ears replaced with long earfins and unaturally dialated violet eyes. He had fangs for teeth, claws for fingers, three sets of gills, one on his neck, sides and tail, and most importantly, the massive fish tail for legs.

The veteran yelled as a Twilight accidently pulled too tight on his body, moving his new, harsh wounds. His body was covered in claw marks, leaking red into the tranquil blues.

Sky stopped them at where they were in about knee-deep and the rancher chuckled, "first a bunny, and now a fish. What else can you do?"

Legend only let out a pained groan at that.

"How do we change you back then? Will you need help?" He asked,

"I just need to get back on land, but the transformation is painful. My lungs are full of water"

Both hylian heroes winced.

"Okay then, we'll pull you out on three. One, two three!" On Twilight's command, Sky heaved Legend out of the water, aware of how the transformed vet braced himself tensly.

It didn't even take a second before the torture began, Sky felt as if he was experienceing it himself. The gills were the first to go, shutting and forcing Legend to only take in air, if it weren't for the water locked in his lungs. Legend's head tilted backwards, as he silently screamed, lungs gurgling. Scales started to painfully force themselves back into skin. Streams of water dribbled out of his mouth, constantly retching only to be stopped again as a sickening squelch came from the tail violently tearing apart, some kind of slime spraying out. The scream this time was now audible as some of his lungs were emptied, but water still gurgled up his throat. Sky was painfully aware that the vet had still not been able to draw in a full breath, and the transformation was only prolonging the excruciatingly long process, their collector clearly begining to fade. Final pools of water were choked out as the transformation finally ended and their vet was able to finally take in a strangled gasp.

The other two heroes were calling out to Legend the entire time in panic but trying to comfort him or do something to help, ultimately not being able to do anything to stop the ear splitting pain.

Sky was trying not to cry at what he had just witnessed, Twi had a very disturbed look as he tried to calm down their gasping brother who let out a whimper at their touch, skin still sore. Sky rummaged through his bag and pulled out his final potion while Twilight found some bandages as they worked on Legend, now unconcious in the rancher's lap. The two awake heroes made eye contact, sharing a grimace at the thought of what they had just seen Legend go through,

"Every time?" He whispered,

"Let's just hope it doesn't have to happen again anytime soon," Twi replied.

Flared Fins

AN: I posted part of this AU a while ago, but I've since written more. Enjoy! I also have a lore dump post here

(Read on AO3)

~~~

“Hey! I’m not going to hurt you! Stop running away!” The shouts from the sea slug Mer behind him did nothing to persuade Hyrule to slow down. 

The other Mer hurting Hyrule was the least of his worries. Of course he wouldn't hurt Hyrule. The Mer had seen Hyrule use magic. He knew that there was much more to gain in keeping him alive than killing him.

If he could just lose the other Mer in the maze of coral, he might be able to get away. Sea slug Mer were notoriously slow, even if this one seemed faster than he should be. As long as Hyrule got a large enough lead, he could find a good hiding spot or outpace the other mer.

Suddenly, Hyrule spotted his possible chance of escape. A high rock formation loomed to Hyrule’s left, which had been keeping him from turning left, but as Hyrule moved along as quickly as he could, he spotted a narrow crack in the rock. The faint coolness of a fresh current coming from the crack assured him that it went all the way through the rocks. The opening of the crack would be too small for most Mer to slip through, but as an octopus Mer Hyrule was much more flexible than others. 

Hyrule wasted no time in shoving himself into the crevice, but to his horror, he found his way barred by more rock only a few feet in. The crack didn’t lead all the way through. There was a small gap where he could see the open ocean on the other side, but it was a dead end for anything bigger than a small eel.

The part where Hyrule could fit wasn’t deep and despite his best efforts Hyrule couldn’t fit more than an arm’s length into the crack. The other Mer could reach in and pull Hyrule out if he wanted, and Hyrule wouldn't be able to stop him.

Hyrule squeezed his eyes shut, gill fluttering as he breathed in quickly to try and calm his pounding heart. A trill of panic escaped him, and he hoped the other Mer hadn’t heard that. He didn’t want to give him the satisfaction.

Wind, Wild… I’m so sorry. Hyrule thought miserably. He should have been more careful, but ‘should have’s didn’t mean anything. All that mattered was that Hyrule had made a horrible mistake. 

It didn’t take long for the other Mer to appear at the opening, peering in with eyes that were a starling shade of violet. “Come out.” The other Mer was out of breath, but still able to demand Hyrule leave the limited safety of the crevice. 

Hyrule didn’t want to leave. He wanted to stay here, but the other Mer could very easily reach in and grab him if he wanted to. He probably wouldn’t be gentle about it either. He wasn’t much bigger than Hyrule was, but his lean form was filled out with muscles, and a healthy layer of fat offered him protection. It was obvious that his pod kept him well-fed and healthy. If Hyrule wasn’t so overcome with terror, he would have felt a flash of envy.

His pod didn’t do nearly so well for themselves. They were a pathetically small pod, too small to really support themselves. There was only Hyrule himself, Wild, and little Wind. Only two juveniles and a pup. They couldn’t hold down a permanent territory, so they were forced to eke out a living on the edges of other pods’ territories, constantly on the move so as not to overstay the generosity of those whose prey they stole.

Even Wind, who was given more food than Hyrule or Wild, was still concerningly skinny for a Mer his age. He should be plump with baby fat, and if he was in the stranger’s pod, Hyrule was sure he would be.

(When food was particularly scarce to come by and when they were sure Wind was asleep, Hyrule and Wild argued about leaving Wind on the edges of another pod's territory. A kind pod, who might adopt him and feed him better than they could. They’d never tried, but it had come close, sometimes.)

The other Mer was still staring at him from the opening of the crevice. Slowly, knowing he had no other option, Hyrule let out a small warble of submission to tell the other Mer he will capitulate. The Mer blinked at him, backing away from the entrance, leaving enough room for Hyrule to exit. 

He thought about darting away again but he knew this close, the Mer would catch him easily. He emerged slowly, hands held up to show he wasn’t armed. 

The two Mer observed each other in silence. They hadn’t had the chance to get a good look at each other during the chase. 

The stranger was a sea slug Mer, as Hyrule had noticed. His tail was a baby pink color, with a few sparse lines of a darker red. The bright pink showed he was a juvenile, and perhaps even nearly an adult, with that red coming in. He was older than Hyrule was, in any case.

His hair was a dark golden blonde, with a pink stripe along one side. Hyrule wondered if the stripe was natural, or colored with dye. 

The wickedly sharp blade of a fishing spear poked over the other Mer’s shoulders. Hyrule tore his eyes away and tried not to imagine that blade piercing his own flesh.

The Mer wore a plethora of sparkly rings and a pretty necklace studded with bits of sea glass polished to a shine by the waves. He even wore a golden tail ring. Perhaps the Mer was courting someone who had an expensive taste in gifts. He wore little clothing, as was typical in the shallow seas. A large bag was tied around his waist, and his only covering was a red shawl wrapped around his shoulders. It was made of gauzy silk-like material with small golden beads woven into the edges, and looked expensive.

Hyrule reevaluated his previous thoughts about the Mer’s Pod. Not only were they well-off, they were downright rich. (With the territory they possessed, he wasn’t really surprised. There was more food here than anyone could eat. They could easily trade extra food or even temporary hunting rights with neighboring Pods. And that wasn’t counting other goods they might produce.)

As for the other Mer, he took the moment to glance Hyrule up and down. Hyrule tried not to let his tentacles squirm under the scrutinizing gaze. He knew he wasn’t half as impressive as this Mer was. He’d grown into his juvenile colors- going from a dull olive green brighter, leafy color- but he hadn’t started to get his adult markings yet. 

He wore no clothes or decorations except a roughly woven band of seagrass around his waist with a knife tied to it. His Pod had no time to learn the skills required to make clothing, and they couldn’t afford to buy things unless it was absolutely necessary. His knife, the only personal object he had, had been stolen from a Pod whose territory Hyrule had passed through when he was still a loner.

(He did not dare try and use the knife on the Mer in front of him. Hyrule wasn’t going to escalate it to violence if the other Mer hadn’t. He knew wouldn’t win.)

The final difference between him and the other Mer was the scars. They both had them- it was unusual for a Mer to grow up without accumulating a few- but Hyrule had more by far. The few he could see peppering the skin of the other Mer were old and had healed over nicely. Nothing at all like the scars that littered Hyrule’s body, which showed the poor healing they had undergone. 

(There was no time to rest and let the skin heal when one of them was injured, and there was only so much Hyrule’s healing could do. His Pod had to move ever onward.)

After a moment, the other Mer stopped his inspection. He sighed. “I guess I gave you a bit of a scare, chasing you like that. My bad. I didn’t want to lose track of you. My name is Legend.” It was a good sign Legend had apologized to him. Maybe this Pod would be kind.

After a pause, when it became clear Legend was waiting for a response, Hyrule offered his own name. “Hyrule,” was all he said, so quietly the other could have missed it. 

Legend nodded in acknowledgment. “That was very impressive magic. I can’t do magic myself, but I have a collection of magical items back at my Pod’s grotto.”

Oh, great. A collector of magical items, was he? Hyrule knows better than to hope that the Mer doesn’t see him as a magical item to collect.

“Do you want to come back to see?” And there it was. The question that wasn’t really a question.

Hyrule bit his lip, restraining himself from giving a sad trill. With one last thought of Wild and Wind, he closed his eyes and nodded his assent, sealing his fate.

~~~

Wild remained ever thankful that his scales had turned a dark blue as he had left pup-hood. It was a pretty color, the same shade as the deep ocean and dark trenches. More importantly, it wasn't overly flashy like the scales of tropical Mer could be. 

The color made it vastly easier to be stealthy. He was an ambush predator, lying in wait along the sea bed for unsuspecting prey to pass over him. His dark color helped him blend into the rocks and coral. He couldn’t imagine how much harder it would be if he were, say, a bright red.

Wild knew hunting down in the depths would be even easier for him, where he could hide away completely in the darkness. He couldn't say he minded, though. He might not catch something every time he tried hunting up here, but there was so much more prey in the shallows. He had more chances to hunt in a day than he would in a week down in the depths.

That was what had drawn him up to the shallower waters in the first place. He’d been following the prey, at first. A lone Mer, freshly out of pup-hood, seeking the easier prey the shallows offered. And even if he hadn’t managed to catch anything, there were always mussels or clams to eat as long as he could pry the shells open.

The abundance of food might have been why he had come to the shallows, but it wasn’t why he stayed. 

That honor went to the small figure Wild held in his arms.

Wild sighed, tightening the grip he had on the pup. Wind was young, and had been even younger when Wild had found him. Too young to be all alone. His birth Pod had been driven out of their territory by a larger Pod, and he’d been left behind in the chaos. Thankfully, the encroaching Pod had been kind enough to leave Wind on the edge of the territory, in case Wind’s old Pod came back for him. 

They hadn’t.

Wind had been left to wander by himself when he wasn’t even seven years old. He was lucky Wild had been the first thing that found him.

Before he had met Wind, Wild had never counted himself as very parental. His species was solitary, only ever coming together to trade and breed. Wild had never thought he would ever sire a pup, much less raise one. Pups of his species stayed with their mothers until they gained their juvenile coloring, and then they left to strike out on their own. 

Other species often thought it was cruel, but it was simply the way it was. Wild did not resent his mother for it. He even had many fond memories of her from his time as a pup. When he’d grown into a strong young juvenile, she had paid less and less attention to him until instinct had driven him to leave her territory. 

He had not known his sire, and did not ever think of him. Wild knew that even if he did ever sire a pup, he likely wouldn’t know that they even existed.

But here he was. Even his species knew that pups could not be left alone. Once they were juveniles they could look after themselves, but pups were mostly helpless. They couldn’t defend themselves and they couldn’t hunt. They weren’t even strong enough to break through the shells of clams and mussels.

So when he’d seen Wind, Wild had known he couldn’t leave him alone. He’d taken the little pup under his fins, lack of parental skills be damned. 

It had been hard at first. It had been made only slightly easier by the addition of Hyrule to their group, making them a proper Pod rather than a pair of loners. Wild thanked his lucky seastars that the two of them had wandered into the meager territory that Hyrule had been camping out in. The octopus Mer had been kind enough to let them stay, even though the space hadn’t been enough to sustain three Mer. When Wild and Wind had left, Hyrule had left with them. 

Neither Hyrule nor Wild were meant to be part of a Pod. Wild’s species was solitary, and Hyrule’s usually preferred to be by themselves or in bonded pairs. Neither of them was built to be social. Yet neither of them could bear to leave a pup by himself. 

Wild frowned at the thought of Hyrule. The Mer had left three days ago to hunt. He hadn’t returned, and Wild and Wind were growing hungry. 

Wild would have to leave soon too. 

Carefully, Wild released Wind from his grasp.

He slipped out of the cave as stealthy as he could. Mostly because he didn’t want to wake Wind, but also because they were in another Pod’s territory. He didn’t want to be caught. Anyone who could hold onto territory like this must be fearsome fighters indeed. He didn’t want to be spotted if one of their patrols came this way.

Wild’s Pod had already cleared the area directly around the cave of shellfish, so Wild had to move further away to gather an armful of clams. Not too far though. This territory was truly rich in prey. Wild envied the pod that owned these waters. They must never go hungry if there was this much abundance here.

When he returned, Wind was awake. The pup was still curled up, but was blinking up at Wild with big blue eyes as he shook off lingering sleep. The sight of the food Wild had brought back roused Wind enough for him to uncurl. The pup gave a tired trill in greeting, and then an inquiring buzzing sound low in his throat.

Hello, good morning, I love you. Food? 

Wild gave a comforting warble in return, and then an inviting chirp.

My pup, good morning, I love you. Come eat!

They ate quietly, focusing on breaking apart the shells rather than speaking. The only sounds in the cave were the occasional chirp of happiness from Wind as he filled his belly. Wild ate only enough to give him the energy to hunt, leaving the majority to Wind. He needed it more, as a growing pup. 

When they finished eating, they curled up, twining their tails together, purring at each other. The sound was meaningless but comforting, and they spent an hour or so just enjoying each other's company. They both knew that Wild would be leaving soon. He needed to hunt. Shellfish were all well and good, but they needed more substantial meat.

This was routine by now. Wild and Hyrule would go out one at a time to hunt and bring back food to wherever they were staying. It was unusual that Wind would be left alone, but this time they had no choice. Hyrule was gone, had been gone for almost four days. That was longer than they usually spent away from each other. 

In such a prey-rich territory like this, it shouldn’t have taken the octopus Mer two days to bring back food. 

Wild tried very hard to ignore the explanations for why he might not have returned. It didn’t matter why Hyrule had not returned. They could wait no longer. Wild must hunt. 

But hunting meant leaving Wind alone. He didn’t want to do that. Usually only one of them went out at a time, leaving the other to watch over Wind. That wasn’t an option this time. 

Wild wrapped his tail tightly around Wind’s, cuddling the pup closer and tucking his head under Wild’s chin. Wind gave an inquiring buzz, and Wild sighed. 

“I have to go.”

“Don’t want you to.” Wind complained, and when Wild pulled back his face was scrunched up in an adorable scowl. 

“I know, but aren’t you still hungry? I have to go get us food. I’ll try and get some octopus for you, if you want '' There wasn’t a taboo against eating the animals that you looked similar to, but Hyrule didn’t like eating octopus anyways. Wild didn’t exactly blame him, but octopus had become something of a special treat shared between Wind and Wild.

“Hyrule will come back with food. You don’t have to go.” Wind protested. Wild said nothing in response, not voicing his own doubts. He pulled away reluctantly, removing Wind from where he clung to Wild’s tail. He swore, sometimes he thought Wind was the octopus Mer with how clingy he could get. 

“I’ll be back as soon as I can, pup. Stay here, and be quiet as a cuddlefish for me, okay?” Wild purposely mispronounces the word, hoping it would make Wind laugh. It didn’t.

Wind’s lip wobbled. Wild would admit, he fled like a coward. If he had stayed to hear Wind’s sad little trills, he might not have left.

~~~

Wind wasn’t crying.

For one thing, Mer couldn’t cry. What was the point of leaking water from your eyes when you were already underwater? Wind thought Hylians were very strange for leaking water, even if they did live above the surface. They wasted water when they did that. With the dry environment they lived in, it didn’t make sense to go about spilling water from their eyes whenever they were upset. Then again, things above the surface of the water rarely made sense, and Hylians could be a little stupid sometimes. 

So no, Wind wasn’t crying. But he was releasing the semi-involuntary squeaks, trills, and wails that counted as the same thing, to Mer. It was meant to signal to his Pod that he was in distress and needed comfort or help.

Wind was a big boy, though. He should be able to control his calls. It was especially necessary for him to learn how to do so. His pod was so small and only consisted of him and two juveniles. They absolutely could not afford to attract predators or rival Pods. No matter how upset you were, nothing was more important than keeping yourself hidden.

Wind’s pod couldn’t afford to fight. They’d learned that a long time ago, and Wild had paid dearly for it. It was only by the grace of Hyrule’s magic that he’d survived, and even then he hadn’t come out of that encounter in one piece. 

So Wind knew how to be silent, even if he was upset. He knew how to muffle his wails as well as any adult could. At least Wind had thought he could, but here he was, wailing desperately for his pod. 

Wind wanted them, where were they? They wouldn’t leave him alone, would they? They said they would stick together for as long as they could. 

Wild and Hyrule’s species were usually solitary, but they had promised Wind that no matter how much they each wandered, they would always return. And usually, they made sure one of them stayed with him while the other went hunting to blow off steam.

Their species might typically be solitary, but Wind’s wasn’t, and he was only just shedding his pup fat. The scales along his ribs and the end of his tail were a slightly brighter orange, hinting at the colors his scales would turn in a few years, but the rest of him was still firmly the dull orangey-brown of a pup. He was still too young to truly be alone. 

When Wild and Hyrule had found him, Wind had thought the universe had been kind to him. He’d thought he had found a replacement pod for the one he’d lost. But it’d been five days since Hyrule had wandered off last, and Wild had gone hunting, but that was two days ago! 

Wind was hungry, but he didn’t want to leave to try and find something to eat, because what if his pod came back when he was gone and they couldn’t find him? And Wild had told him to stay here and stay quiet. 

Wind couldn’t make himself quiet, no matter how hard he tried. But he would stay here. He could at least do that much.

So he curled up on the cold rocky floor, his tail coming up to drape over his neck protectively. Normally it would be one of his Wild’s tail draped over him to keep away the chill, or Hyrule’s arm slung around his vulnerable neck. But they weren’t there, so he had to do it himself. He did his best to ignore the calls that still escaped him.

There was no one to answer him anyway.

~~~

Wild hadn’t been careful enough while he was hunting. He’d stupidly forgotten that while fish and other animals might overlook him lying on the seabed, a patrol of mer from the Pod that owned this territory wouldn’t. He’d been deep in thought when they’d happened upon him, and they’d startled him so badly he was struck dumb, staring up at them. 

They were only feet away.

There were four of them, three adults and a juvenile. Although calling the largest one an adult was a bit of a disservice. The white Mer that led the patrol was absolutely massive. 

Wild knew, logically, that Mer didn’t stop growing when they reached adulthood, but he’d never seen a Mer this large before. He was nearly three times the size of Wild! He must be positively ancient. 

Finally breaking out of his trance, Wild flung himself up. He wouldn’t be caught failing in the sand. If he needed to fight or flee, he would do so, but he would not simply wait for these Mers to condemn him.

Strangely, the four Mer didn’t attack him automatically. That was the typical response when someone caught him hunting in their territory. They didn't even look mad, really, just surprised. 

Okay, the juvenile in the back of the group looked pretty mad but other than him, no one looked mad.

The largest one, however, wasn’t looking at him with surprise like the others were. He looked thoughtful. “I think,” he rumbled, “That this one might be able to shed some light on the mysterious Mer Legend brought back a few days ago.”

Wild turned tail and fled. He wanted to scream and wail and thrash in grief, but he still had Wind to look after. At least now he knew what had happened to Hyrule.

The sounds of the four behind him giving chase weren’t surprising at all.

~~~

A familiar scream woke Wind. He’d slept in late, and the sun that filtered through the shallow water shone brightly into the cave entrance, warming the water while he slept. It only took a few moments for him to shake off the haze of sleep after hearing that noise.

That was Wild’s warning call and from the sound of it, he was fighting something. 

Wind was at the entrance of the cave in a flash. The relief he felt at hearing his podmate’s return was quickly squashed by the sight outside the cave. 

A good distance away, Wild was facing off against four other Mer. A spear of dread shot through Wind for a moment, before relief hit him when he realized Wild wasn’t actually fighting them yet. Wild was a good fighter, but there was no way he could win against four Mer at once. 

Wild had stopped a good distance away from the cave entrance, evidently not wanting to lead the strangers directly to Wind. He faced off against them, but Wind could see it was hopeless.

One of the strange Mer looked like a pup at first glance, but his colorful scales revealed him to at least be a juvenile, despite his small size. A second Mer with a royal blue tail with orange markings hovered near the back of the group, observing the on goings on with a critical air.

The two that drew the most attention were the two that were closest to Wild. They were both large, especially compared to Wild. One of them practically towered over Wind’s podmate. He looked especially fierce, with scars crisscrossing his white scales. One long scar covered his eye, bisecting the red and blue markings he had on his face. 

The fourth Mer had a seal’s pelt tied around his shoulders. He wasn’t nearly as large as the white one, but even from Wind’s distant point of view, he could tell the Mer was rippling with muscles. In fact, all four of these Mer looked incredibly strong and well-fed. They looked to be in better shape than any of Wind’s pod, who were all too scrawny. 

Wind could see Wild pressing himself down to the sea floor. It might have been confused for submission if it weren’t for how he flared all his fins out. (And WIld had a lot of fin to flare.) His mouth was open in a silent hiss, fear stealing his voice from him for a split second. Wild’s silence only lasted a moment, before the Mer with the pelt made an aborted movement towards him.

His movement seemed to give Wild a bit of courage. The Mer flung himself up, all his fins flaring out. 

Even with half his dorsal fin being a mess of scar tissue, Wild’s threat display was truly impressive. He wasn’t fully grown yet and his markings hadn’t started to come in yet, but he was still a sight to behold. Wild’s bioluminescence didn’t add much to the display in the middle of the day like this, but Wind knew from experience that at night or in deeper waters, the eerie blue glow could make some fully grown Mer back off. 

These Mer remained mostly undeterred, which showed exactly how confident they were. Rightly so. Despite his threat display, it was clear Wild was no match for them. 

The large white Mer seemed utterly unphased. He flicked his tail, sending himself effortlessly through the water, closer to Wild. Wild snapped his jaw threateningly, his teeth clicking together sharply. When that didn’t work, Wild unhinged his jaw fully and let it gape unnaturally open. His long sharp teeth were on full display. It was something only deep sea Mer could do, and it was a little unsettling even to Wind, who’d seen him do it before. 

That display finally made the white Mer stop moving forward, but he had gotten too close to Wild for Wind’s taste. Wind couldn’t stop the chirps from rising in his throat. 

Here, here! I’m here, I’m scared, I want you here!

The attention of all four of the Mer snapped towards Wind at the sound of his chirps. Wild screamed in anger at that, but the damage was done. This new figure was more interesting to the Mer than the angry juvenile they’d been chasing. No matter how Wild flared his fins, he wasn’t able to grab their attention back from Wind.

The small one with the colorful scales huffed when he saw Wind peeking out of the cave. “Exactly how many pups are we going to find swimming around in our territory?”

The royal blue Mer seemed to agree. There was a hint of amusement in his voice when he spoke. “It seems we have an infestation.” He agreed.

The one with the seal skin around his shoulder was frowning at Wind. It would be rather intimidating, especially with the crooked fangs poking out of his upper lip, but Wind got the feeling that the Mer’s frown was directed at him.

“Is that your pup? He doesn’t look like it.” The question was directed at Wild. Even Wind knew he was referring to the fact that Wild was a deep sea Mer, and Wind was tropical. That and the fact that Wild looked too young to have sired a pup as old as Wind.

Wind bristled at the implication that he wasn’t Wild’s. He hated it when Mer did that. They may not be the same species, but Wind and Wild and Hyrule were Pod. Wind hadn’t seen any tropical Mer lining up to adopt him when he’d been alone and wandering.  

Wild seemed to take the same offense. “He is mine! Don’t you dare touch him!” Wild’s voice had risen to a fever pitch of stress and anger. Wind flattened his ear fins to his head at the sound. He hated to hear Wild sound so distressed. He moved without thinking, flinging himself out of the confines of the cave.

Wild gave a warning call, and the strangers startled back, clearly not expecting Wind to move. But Wind only bee-lined towards Wild. The two of them were going to need to flee, and Wild couldn’t do that if the strangers got between him and Wind. 

With Wild sounding so distressed, Wind wanted to be right next to him, not waiting helplessly for whatever fate would befall him. 

Within moments Wind was at Wild’s side, pressed against his scales. With a movement of his tail, Wild raised himself high enough for Wind to duck under him. It was a little awkward. Wild wasn't full grown, and couldn’t hide Wind entirely. But he was still big enough to loom protectively. It made Wind feel slightly better.

(Whenever Hyrule or Wild did this, it reminded Wind of his mother and his birth pod, bringing comforting memories of being so very small and pressing comfortingly to his mother’s yellow-orange scales.)

More confident now that what he was protecting was within his arms reach, Wild gave a hiss towards the stranger. The sound was wounded, but there was a challenge there too.

Grief, grief, grief, anger, rage, I will never forgive you.

Then Wild spoke. “You already took Hyrule from us. Go away! Go away, we don’t have anything for you! We’re leaving, we’ll never come back here if you just let us leave.”

Wind felt an icy chill shoot through him. He sank down to the sandy seafloor, feeling weak. Wild followed him, keeping his chest pressed against Wind. 

These Mer took Hyrule? What did that mean? Was Hyrule… dead? Wind had known that Wild had thought Hyrule was dead when he hadn’t returned from the hunt, but Wind hadn’t wanted to think of that possibility.

The white Mer slid forward a few feet, making Wild shift uneasily. “Are you sure about that? I’m sure Hyrule would love to see you.” Wind perked up from where he’d been pressed to the sand, wailing welling up in his throat. 

Hyrule wanted to see them? That meant that Hyrule was alive!

“Wild, we have to go get Hyrule.” Wild hesitated. He still glared at the strangers, but Wind could tell his mind was racing. Wild clearly didn’t know what to do.

The other Mer could tell it too. 

“You won’t be harmed, I swear it.” This time it was the Mer who wore a long blue scarf that spoke, moving forward towards the front of the group. “It can't be easy out there, just the three of you. Come rest with us for a while.”

Wind looked up at Wild, tugging plaintively on one of his fins. “Wild, I want to go see Hyrule.” He knew he was whining, but they hadn’t seen the octopus Mer in days and Wind missed him. And the strangers didn’t seem too bad. Maybe they had food at their grotto?

Wind hoped so.

Wild only hesitated another moment more before drooping, his fins closing. He looked defeated. Wind had little time to worry about it before Wild nodded his assent and Wind was distracted by the thought that they were going to see Hyrule soon!

Sinking Deep: Ch. 1

Summary: When Legend and Wind go missing in a dangerous town, Hyrule takes it upon himself to find them.

This is the secret Legend and Hyrule story for @star-ocean-peahen's fic raffle gift! I know I said this would be a one shot but it kept growing XD. It was making me a little anxious how long it's been since I started this so I decided to break it up and post in short chapters :D. I hope you enjoy!!!

Warnings: trafficking, canon-typical violence, Hyrule is ignored a bit in the beginning (it’s because everyone’s stressed but that doesn’t make it okay (don’t worry they apologize)), kidnapping, violence against children, implied child trafficking, human trafficking, animal trafficking (only the Hyrule bit happens in this chapter- these are the warnings for the whole fic)

Hyrule’s knee bounced anxiously. He twisted his hands together over and over, and his eyes were locked on the door. 

“Maybe if we just-” Hyrule said as he quickly rose to his feet.

Twilight’s hand clamped onto his shoulder and pushed him back down into the chair. It was, to Hyrule’s vague surprise, just as gentle as the last four times it’s happened this hour. 

“Rulie,” Twilight said with a sigh. “They’ll be back soon.”

Hyrule huffed and leaned back in his seat. He let his head hang over the back of the chair and stared at the ceiling. 

“I just want to help,” Hyrule muttered. Twilight sighed again. Hyrule was sure his lungs were getting a good workout with how many times he sighed today.

“I know. Me too,” Twilight said. “But they’d clock us as outsiders as soon as we step out that door.”

Hyrule crossed his arms and lifted his head up, locking his gaze on the door again. “Like Wild isn’t just as weird.”

Twilight laughed, this time. It was breathy and quiet, but Hyrule still felt a small smile tug at his lips. “Wild can get through town without being seen,” Twilight argued. 

Knock knock. 

Hyrule jumped out of his seat. Twilight held out a hand; Hyrule held his breath. 

Knock knock. 

Pause.

Knock.

Hyrule jumped to the door and unlocked it as quickly as he could. He threw the door open and Warriors and Four rushed into the room. Hyrule quickly locked the door behind them then whipped around.

“Did you find them?” Hyrule asked. 

Warriors shook his head as he leaned over the table with the town map. 

“No luck,” Four said. 

Hyrule wrung his hands together anxiously. 

“Sky and Time should be back any second. Maybe they found something,” Twilight said. 

Hyrule turned his anxious gaze to Twilight. Twilight didn’t look sure of his own words; Hyrule felt his anxiety increase.

“Where haven’t we checked?” Four asked. He pulled a chair over to the table with the map and knelt in it with his elbows on the table. 

Warriors sighed and moved pointed one hand at the map. “Here, but that’s close enough to Sky and Time’s search area that they might get it.”

Knock knock. 

Everyone whipped around to face the door, Again, Hyrule held his breath. 

Knock knock. 

Pause.

Knock.

Hyrule leapt to the door and flung it open. Sky and Time rushed in and Hyrule locked it behind them. Time pushed Sky onto the bed and immediately bent to dig through his bag. Sky huffed and slumped as he sat. Through the curtain of Sky’s bangs, Hyrule could see a split cheek and a black eye forming.

“What happened to you?” Warriors asked. 

Sky’s fists clenched, then he sighed and forced them open. “It’s nothing.”

Time produced a red potion from his bag and wordlessly held it out to Sky. Sky shook his head and tried to push it away. Time leveled a harsh glare in his direction, so Sky relented and took a small sip. Time looked displeased.

“We should save it. I’m fine, really,” Sky said as he handed the potion back. 

“You didn’t find them?” Hyrule asked. 

Sky shook his head. Time had his back turned, but Hyrule could read the tension in his shoulders easily. 

Sky opened his mouth to respond, but was cut off by the window flying open. Wild vaulted through the window and landed in a crouch on the floor. He pushed the window shut and it bounced slightly on the latch to remain ajar.

“Anything?” Warriors asked as Wild stood. 

Wild pulled off his hood and shook his head. With a couple taps of his slate, his weird, skin-tight clothes disappeared and were replaced with his normal tunic and trousers. 

“No sign of Wind or Legend. I listened in some bars, too, but no one said anything helpful,” Wild reported. 

Hyrule’s heart felt like it plummeted into his feet. 

“No one else?” Wild asked, looking around the room with wide eyes. 

Warriors shook his head as his gaze fell back to the town map.

“What do we do now?” Wild asked, approaching the map. Sky, Twilight, and Time followed. 

“You said you last saw them here?” Warriors asked, glancing at Sky and pointing to a spot on the map Hyrule couldn’t see. 

“Yeah, heading this way,” Sky said. He leaned over the map, effectively blocking Hyrule’s view. 

Hyrule huffed and leaned back. He glanced around the room then moved to the window, desperate to catch sight of any clues. At the edge of his view, Hyrule saw a river flowing around the town. Hyrule gasped. 

“I have an idea!” Hyrule said. He whipped around, but no one heard him. Hyrule shoved his way into the huddle. 

“Guys, we should look by the river! We’re looking for the Sailor, he would have wanted to see the water,” Hyrule said. 

Warriors frowned at the map, then shook his head. 

“They weren’t heading in that direction,” Warriors said. 

“That was in the morning, though. Legend probably made him wait until they picked up everything they needed,” Hyrule argued. 

Hyrule glanced around the group. Everyone was frowning. Hyrule felt his frustration with the situation increase. 

Warriors shook his head again. “None of the things on their list are on that side of town.”

“It wouldn’t hurt to check,” Hyrule said. 

“I was over there a bit and I didn’t see anything,” Wild said. He shrugged apologetically at Hyrule. 

“That’s the most dangerous sector, from what I heard,” Sky said. 

“Then we should definitely check there!” Hyrule said. 

Time crossed his arms and glanced out the window. “It’s best to stay away from that sector unless we have evidence they were there.”

Everyone turned back to the map, accepting Time’s word as law. 

Hyrule felt like he could rip his hair out. He flopped down onto his chair with a frustrated huff. The others were deep into their conversation already, plotting out their next moves.

Hyrule glanced between the group and the window. No one was paying him any attention; no one would notice if he slipped out. 

Almost immediately, his mind was made up. Legend and Wind needed help, and if no one else was willing to take a risk, Hyrule would have to do it himself. 

As quietly as he could, Hyrule tiptoed over to his bag. His sword was propped against the wall next to it. Hyrule glanced at the group again to confirm no one was watching, then slipped his sword into his bag. He pulled the bag over his shoulders, silently thankful for the sound dampening enchantments, then crept to the window. It was still cracked from Wild’s entrance. 

Hyrule glanced back one last time, then slipped out the window.
