Tellie, if all your Ravios were put in a band, who would play what instrument? Or who would suck at playing any instrument?

Ooooh excellent question!

What kind of band? is this a modern band or more of an orchestra, or something along the lines of do I think the Ravios canonically play music, and if so, what?

We'll get the two obvious ones out of the way first:

Ages plays the harp (of ages, to be exact) as a part of his adventure. If he was in a modern band, I think he'd play guitar.

Flame: in his adventure, he played the Flamecharmer, which is a magic flute that can control fire. So, he plays the flute! I can't really imagine him playing anything else.

Sea: he plays a mandolin. If he was in a modern band, he'd probably back Ages up on guitar.

One: i feel like he may play the panpipes. The micori might have taught him! If he was in a modern band, though, he'd probably play electric guitar, or perhaps be the percussionist.

Myth: i can't imagine he plays music. He might sing, but i think he would probably fulfill the role of conductor.

Sol: He plays the harp, too! I'm not sure what he'd play in a modern band, though. Nothing quite feels right. Not guitar. Maybe still harp?

Magic: He plays the piccolo! This would go for a modern band too.

Lorule: I think he can play the ocarina, but nothing more complicated than that. If he was in a modern band... he might play the banjo, or the harmonica, or the triangle XD

Swords: He plays the harp, too! I feel like he'd play trombone or french horn in a modern band.

Realm: I feel like he'd play the ocarina. Something small that he could easily carry with him. As for a modern band... maybe an oboe or clarinet.

Ravios! What are your opinions on your Hildas!

-Sky Floor

Sea: my brilliant goddess!!! The shining star of my life! Her piercing red eyes, her glorious voice, the way confidence and conviction radiate through her like a shining aura of--

Sol: *elbows him* I think we get it.

Sea: *sniffs haughtily* Well then, Sol, tell us your thoughts on your Hilda.

Sol: She has bad taste in boyfriends.

Magic: and I'm sure that's all your thoughts on the subject.

Sol: well, what's yours?

Magic: *awkward laughter* Ah, well, you know... she... she... *his face falls* she was really stubborn. Too stubborn for her own good.

*awkward silence. Sol looks regretful*

Ages *tactfully entering the conversation*: Vision was my best friend as a child. I may have been the one with the plan, but I couldn't have carried it out without her support. I'm glad to have her friendship to this day.

Swords: Sceptre is an inspiration! She dove headfirst into the War, determined to take vengeance on whoever tried to drag Lorule into this mess. I couldn't stand back and let her face it alone. And, well... *he blushes* we've gotten pretty close, I guess.

Flame: Frost is weird, but... a nice kind of weird. And it was really great to not be alone while travelling! Lava is scary.

Realm: Enka can also be strange. She's... not the same as she was a hundred years ago, but it's a good change. She... being a ninja looks good on her.

Myth: Well, well well! Sounds like someone has a crush!

Realm: as if you don't.

Myth: well, who's to say? She could just be a very good friend--

Realm: Fifty rupees that you'll be engaged before the end of the adventure.

Lorule: Can we put in bets for the exact length of time, or--

Myth: please don't, if Paint finds out she'll go ballistic.

*Lorule and Realm look shiftily at each other*

Ages: *coming to the rescue again* What about you, Lorule, anything you'd like to share?

Lorule: ...she's. She's nice.

*the other ravios watch in amusement as his face slowly turns red*

Magic *taking pity on his sucessor*: Well, is that everyone?

One: Ye--

Flame: But you haven't answered yet, One!

One: ...crap.

Sea: well?

One: ... she's fun. AND THAT'S ALL YOU'RE GETTING OUT OF ME SO DROP IT.

[telemna-hyelle]

sorry I thought of another one what are all the Ravios opinions on their sword? (and Ghirahim if they know of him?)

-Sky Floor

Sea: well, Ghirahim is my trusted business partner, and from what my brothers tell me, he's kept up our contract long into the future. He also seems to be more... active? than his Hyrulian counterpart. He's... encouraged, shall we say, most of them through their adventures, and taught a fair bit of them how to actually use a sword. The only one who hasn't used him is One, but I think they've been getting along pretty well on this adventure! They have... similar histories. I think it's been good for both of them.

One: ...not gonna comment on that, except that Sea should stop psychoanalyzing me, thanks.

Myth: That's One speak for 'oh snap they figured me out' *nimbly dodges out of the way of One's kick*

Ages: I couldn't have gotten through my adventure without Ghirahim's help; he was my guide through it all.

Flame: I know I couldn't have! Ghirahim was... really scary at first, but now I really miss him; I'm glad I got to go on this adventure and see him again!

Magic: I technically used him, but it was mostly Lorule. Still, I quite appreciated his skill and company.

Lorule: we're often at odds with the best reaction to a situation. He gets frustrated when i keep running away. But... it's good to know I have him watching my back.

Realm: Same. Helps me sleep at night. Plus I appreciate his skill with insults.

Swords: I didn't really get to know him well, since i was fighting him for most of my adventure, but... i still think there's a strong bond between us. Finally bringing him back home was one of the proudest moments of my life.

Sol: He's useful, but he drives me up the wall most of the time. Though, I agree with Realm--he's absolutely brilliant when it comes to scathing insults.

Sea, smugly: which means they're best friends.

Sol: NO WE'RE NOT

*unfortunately for Sol, no one is convinced*

Question for the ravios!

Who’s the cutest and why is it Lorule?

One: Personally, I like to think I'm the cutest--

Sea: It's Lorule. He gathers flowers and presses them to give to his girlfriend.

Magic: He also collects rocks to give to her! He went on a ridiculously long fetch quest to get a pebble that's the same color of her eyes.

Flame: He asked for my help to find a really cool specimen of lava rock!

One: ...holy Loria that is cute.

Lorule: guys please

[telemna-hyelle]

Sol: LEMME AT HIM

Myth, one of several Ravios holding him back: You're a RAVIO you're not supposed to LIKE FIGHTING

Sol: IM SICK AND TIRED OF LIVING IN HIS SHADOW

Ages: ... you DO realize that shadow-dwelling is normal for a twili in the light realm?

One: I respect the rage but shadows are pretty nice real estate, not gonna lie

Sol: SHE TURNED ME INTO A WOLF INSTEAD OF A RABBIT BECAUSE OF HIM

Ravios: *gasp of horror in concert*

Myth: ...should we let him go

Sea: GUYS THIS ISN'T THE WAY WE HANDLE THINGS

(long silence)

Lorule: ...we can swindle him out of his money...?

Ages: NO

Sea: THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT AND YOU KNOW IT

Since it is WIP Wednesday I think I'll post a little bit of one of my current projects.

So some of you may have heard of The Saga of Hilda, aka my lorulian history focusing on the lorulian counterparts to the Chain?

This is about them! It's showing why Ravio was in Legend's house in Hoarder of Legend, and what was going on behind the scenes.

Explanation for the AU here X X

“Did… anyone hear a door close?”

It was Realm who said it. Not surprisingly, as in his world he had to always be on guard, listening for the sound of Miharu tech spying on him.

They all froze.

Sol scowled, orange eyes narrowing sharply. “Of course we have to be here on the one day that some idiot decides to break into the hero’s house.”

Magic cleared his throat, lifting one finger. “Technically,” he said, drawing out the word, “aren’t we breaking into the Hero’s House?”

“Of course not!” Myth said, perhaps a bit more breezily than he had the right to. “I have partial rights over this house.”

Ages turned to glance at Myth, carefully arching an eyebrow. “You tricked him into signing something, didn’t you.”

Myth’s gaze shifted to one side. “…Why are we standing around here when Mr. Hero’s house is being invaded?”

“Windows, everybody,” Sea said, picking up the Sovereign Blade from where he had leaned it against the wall. Swords was already moving in that direction, anticipating Sea’s order, and a moment later he let out a gasp.

“…Link?”

Myth changed directions from the original window he was headed towards, running over to where Swords stood. “Are you sure? You’ve never met—” He looked out the window, and a gusty sigh of relief whooshed out. “That’s not Link, that’s some other guy.”

“So it is a burglar?” Flame asked with a faint quaver in his voice.

Ages leaned forward to look, smiling and setting a firm hand on Flame’s shoulder as he did. “Even if it is, we have surprise, skill, and numbers. We can handle it.”

He then looked out the window, blinked, and frowned. “…doesn’t he look like you, Swords?”

“That’s what I was trying to say!” Swords’ voice was somewhat strangled with surprise. “He’s my Link. From the war!”

“Wait, really?” Sol leaned forward, once again taking advantage of the fact that he was the tallest. “…you’re kidding me, it is him.”

“What’s he doing here?” Myth yelped, his Sheerow leaping in surprise. “This is nowhere near his timeline!”

“Do you think this could be from the war?” Sea asked, eyebrows furrowing.

“…Maybe.” Swords said slowly. “But he looks… a little different than I remember. Almost… older?”

“Hey,” Lorule said quietly, “The little guy next to him looks a lot like One.”

Everyone’s gaze swung down to stare at their smallest member.

Their stomachs dropped when they saw the near-painful lack of a smirk on his face.

“That’s him.” One said quietly, glancing away to one side. “That’s the Hero of Four.”

Myth’s gaze bounced from Swords, to the Hero of Warriors, to the Hero of Four, and back to One.

Then he threw his hands into the air. “Just what in the love of silver rupees is going on here?”

Sea leaned on the Sovereign Blade, eyes sharp. “Maybe… if we’re going on an adventure across time and space… who’s to say our counterparts aren’t, either?”

There were a few brief moments of silence as the Ravios soaked this in. Some of them were awestruck, their eyes glittering with excitement at the thought of getting the chance to met their counterparts. A couple (Sea and Magic) were looking at One in concern. Ages and Swords, on the other hand, were giving Sol very careful looks.

Sol grinned, though the expression was sharp and not very pleasant at all. “So would you say the hero of Twilight is here?”

[telemna-hyelle]

Fi *is visibly depressed*

SOH Ghirahim: hey, what's wrong? What can I stab to fix it?

Fi: there is a zero percent chance it can be fixed. My calculations were flawed and I caused irreparable harm to mental well-being of the Hero of Time. I predict there is a 67% chance of him resenting me forever, and it is nothing less than I deserve.

Ghirahim: *thinking awkwardly about how he and Ages get along really well* ...that's rough, buddy

[telemna-hyelle]

The Hero of Flame

The Hero of Flame is one of the successors to the Hero of Ages, and he falls in the Child Timeline of Lorule. The Hero of Ages traveled to the past and his childhood, created a new timeline, stopped Yuga from gaining the triforce and sealed him away, before departing once more to save his original timeline. The Child Timeline continued after his departure, but Yuga eventually managed to gather great power and break free (with the help of the fallen micori wizard, Zant), and stormed across an unsuspecting and unprepared Lorule. In a desperate last-ditch attempt to save the people, the Goddess struck great chasms in the land, raising lava to the surface in order to burn Yuga's armies. The Queen of Lorule sacrificed herself in order to seal Yuga away, and the world entered a tentative era of peace.

In order to cross the great chasms and rivers of lava, the people developed the airships in order to travel between the isolated villages of the Grand Peaks, capitalizing on the currents of heat in the air.

One of these villages is the home of young Ravio. He was raised by his grandfather and his older sister, Rylla, and his life was one of relative peace (after the bandit attack that killed his parents)--until one day his sister is snatched away from him by a dragon.

So he sets out to find her again, and gets caught up in a grand adventure (along with his dog), where he gains a mysterious living airship, the Queen of Blue Eagles, a giant, very grumpy sword, a magical flute known as the Flamecharmer, and meets a reclusive hermit girl named Hilda, who lives on a frozen island.

Now, after rescuing Rylla and defeating Yuga, he and Hilda are travelling the Grand Peaks, using the Flamecharmer to drain the lava rivers and bring healing to the land of Lorule.

And, as always, a colored version!

[telemna-hyelle]

The Hero of the Sea

This is his current appearance, several years post-adventure!

He grew up on top of impossibly high cliffs, with feet surrounded by impassable storms. When his friend one day is snatched beyond the storm barrier, Sea goes after her... only to disocer a world almost entirely flooded by water, in hopes of hindering Scourge's armies. Sea now has to use all his wits to survive the seas as he explores the Three Archepelagos... but at lest he's not alone. He may not be the bravest, but he's got a sword in his side that's eager to get some payback for being enslaved and manipulated by a dark God.

And here, a little colored head sketch from when he was on his adventure! It's the first piece of art I did for the au

[telemna-hyelle]

The Hero of Ages

When Ages was a young boy, he had a terrible nightmare. This set him on a journey that lead him from his home amongst the maze-like cliffs of the Ancient Ruins to Lorule Castle. With his vigilance and the young Princess Hilda's visions and passion, they managed to uncover the devious plots of the advisor Yuga, successfully banishing him from Lorule and saving the land.

...or so they thought.

Seven years after Yuga was banished, he returned, wilding impossible power. Lorule was laid to waste before anyone could stop him, and as a last-ditch attempt, Princess Hilda (also known as Vision), managed to find an ancient relic--the Harp of Ages. With it's power, she sent Ages back in time to figure out where Yuga got his power and stop him.

Ages, now returned to his child body, managed to gather the power needed to put a stop to Yuga's rampage long before it could occur, and at the end, the child Vision sent Ages back to his own time, triumphant...

except, of course, the separation of the Triforce caused the timelines to split apart.

Ages was now in his rightful adult body, but he had to face Yuga one more time, with both of them at the peak of the power. It was a hard fought battle, but with Vision's help, together they conquered Yuga and defeated him once and for all. Lorule was devastated, but Vision lead it back to prosperity with her passion and love for her country.

Ages wasn't done with adventuring, however. At a prompting from a strange vision from the Princess, Ages stumbled into a strange pocket dimension--a little realm of eternal twilight. There he had to free the people from influence and power of a terrible relic that housed a spirit of dreadful malic--a mask-like crown known only as the Fused Shadow.

He returned triumphant from the Twilight Realm, and has long since settled down to enjoy the peace his victories have brought, helping his wife run the family business--a falconry. But on his face the scars of his battle with the Fused Shadow can still be seen.

On a side note, Ages, like his counterpart Time, is the source of a three-way timeline split. These three timelines are the Child Timeline, the Adult Timeline, and a little timeline I like to call 'The Murked Timeline.'

The Murked Timeline is, of course, the predecessor of Myth, Magic, and Lorule. The Child and Adult Timelines is where it gets a little switched up.

Because of the nature of Ages' first adventure, his descendant, the Hero of Sol (the counterpart to Twilight), follows the adult timeline, while Wind's counterpart, the Hero of Flame, follows the child timeline.

Finally, here's a colored design!

[telemna-hyelle]

Was thinking about your Laria concept and what you had written about it being Ravio after ALBW but before HW. Absolutely love that concept 💜🤍

Anyway that also got me thinking of "what if it happened before ALBW" and my brain immediately thought up some angsty concepts and now I'm sad /lh /hj

That would be an interesting twist on it! Especially if Legend also did LA before ALBW

can you imagine?

[telemna-hyelle]

The Hero of One

One is the grandson of a potter, and was best friends with the young Princess Hilda as he grew up. When he was still young, he stopped the evil Micori, Zant, and saved Hilda and Lorule.

When he was a little older, he began to grow rather suspicious of Hilda's new advisor, Yuga... and Yuga made a deal to get the meddlesome young hero out of the way.

One was poisoned with dark magic, braindwashed and mindwiped, reduced to a shadow-creature, his true physical form trapped inside the mirror. But he was a hero at heart, and that won through in thr end... but then he woke up back in lorule, memories missing oncemore, and still partly a shadow, missing most of his true physicality.

And Yuga was running around unchecked, causing problems left and right.

Luckily, One's micori friends loved their hero, and they helped him as he learns to become human again, as he sets out across lorule to free the remaining pieces of himself and grow stronger. And once he does... Yuga had better watch out.

Colored version!

[telemna-hyelle]

Also my HC is that the magic paintbrush Yuga uses was invented by Ravio, and that he based it on the bracelet and made on Hilda's orders.

I also imagine that Ravio hadn't met or even heard of Yuga before then, and that when he delivered it to Hilda was the first time meeting the man – and that he almost didn't hand it over until Hilda demanded it: only for him to become the first painting, and not being turned back until Hilda ordered Yuga to release him with the excuse of her still needing his services. But that attack also was what gave him and the bracelet just enough power to get to Hyrule, and that that event was the reason he knew Link would need the bracelet

Hmm, that makes a lot of sense and fits in with what I imagine as Ravio's character. I had to figure out what the Lorulian Triforce stood for, after all, it's pretty clear Ravio isn't Courage Incarnate. So what was he, instead?

If you read Ravio's diary, it's clear that he's on to Yuga and knows that he's evil and manipulating Hilda. So for his piece of the triforce, I picked Vigilance. Paying attention and knowing when something is wrong, taking one look at Yuga and thinking "yeah he's sus", then taking a bad situation (yuga taking his paintbrush and temporarily turning Ravio into a painting) and realizing he can turn it around to help Hilda and Lorule (using yuga's leftover magic to flee to Hyrule, and using the knowledge he now has to properly equip Link)

So think that fits pretty well with my storyline! I don't know if it's canon but it's something i could see happening

[telemna-hyelle]

Star: you'll never be a good knight if all you do is laze around!

Sea: that's fine. Not all that interested in being a good knight. I wanna be a merchant.

Star: then why did you enroll?

Sea: room and board is free

Star *throws her hands in the air* where's your passion? Your drive?

Sea: I do have a passion and drive... for Profit

[telemna-hyelle]

Ignore my last ask my tumblr refreshed as I sent the ask and I just realised you've already answered a similar question lol. I love the Hero of the Sol's name btw he sounds so cool I'd love to know more about him! :D

OH ho ho! THE BOY

He's actually the first original Ravio I came up with! Sol is Twilight's counterpart.

Interestingly enough, it's hinted in the TP manga that Midna and Zelda are parallel counterparts. This got me thinking and I wondered "what if the Twilight Realm is another version of Lorule?"

So! Sol is from the Adult Timeline of Lorule (which may sound odd but it's true), and some time after the era of the Hero of Ages, the Interlopers invaded. They had been banished from Hyrule to a pocket dimension of Twilight. The people gave up their greed, but their leader didn't, and he tried to use the twilight to invade and conquer Hyrule--but he missed instead and hit Lorule. He merged the two realms and overthrew the royal family, but his people didn't want to subjugate the Lorulians and joined forces with them and overthrew him instead, but the effects of the Twilight had already taken hold. So the interlopers and the Lorulians became one people--the Twili.

Sol grew up in a remote village on a Kargarok ranch, but notices that in the aftermath of the whole attempted-invasion-of-Hyrule, a guy named Yuga has been running around manipulating and causing problems. So he goes to Queen Midna and they have to join forces to find the hidden pieces of the Triforce before Yuga can.

It... doesn't go well at first, because Sol is insecure and afraid of losing those he cares about, so he acts arrogant and things to keep people at bay, and Midna is Midna and nursing a broken heart and not pleased with being forced to work with a guy that looks similar to Link but doesn't act like him at all.

And Ghirahim is there and he isn't helping anything

[telemna-hyelle]

i am, admittedly, curious about the hero of one, so it'd be neat if you could share anything about them :0

The hero of One is an interesting case. He's been told he's a hero, and has been on two adventures, but he woke up one day in a deserted dungeon with a killer headache and no memories, his body somewhat malleable and not-quite-there. Apparently he was somehow tied to a magic mirror by a dark ritual, and the rest of his self has been scattered across the land, trapped in shattered mirror shards that are split between monsters, who hoard them and use them to boost their power. Only once he gathers all the pieces of himself and become one and whole again can he have enough strength to face Yuga, who is even now lurking in the castle manipulating a princess who believes her best friend is dead.

With every mirror piece he reclaims, he regains a bit more of his memory... and he begins to realize the full horror of just what Yuga did to him.
