The shadow had stopped to clean his blade. Having made a campfire for the evening. Something to warm up with and something to cook with. Yugure paused when he sensed an unfamiliar presence. It didn't seem... Hostile. Perhaps a lost traveler? No. The aura seemed... Divine.

"I know you're there."

[umbra-imperium]

A gasp escaped him. There was no mistaking that weapon.

"The Master Sword!"

Any dark being would know that blade. It had no equal. The creature's expression became much more serious.

LATER...

The shadow hissed and backed off. Dark energy gathering around his wounds.

"So it's true. You really are... Him. The one my Master created me from. I admit... I went in a bit too eagerly. Rest assured, I will not make the same mistake twice."

He tensed, pulling out his sword entirely. "There is no good side for me to be on. You're created to kill me," he pointed out, getting into a fighting stance. "I doubt that you have any good intentions, we all know what he does to his creations that fail him."

[umbra-imperium]

His ruby red eyes fixated upon the blade. Yugure couldn't see the blade fully from where he stood. But it's aura... He didn't like it. Even so... He would put on the facade of being harmless. For now.

"You're a brave one."

[umbra-imperium]

That actually made him blush. Which was new for him. It seemed much more like a Light feeling. One that... Yugure actually didn't mind. Odd...

"Thanks. I'm not a chef but I... Do enjoy good food. So I try my best to recreate some dishes for myself." He finished his bowl and put them together to set them aside. "Hyrule is... Well it's the Kingdom of Hyrule. There are several different lands with all kinds of races. I was created from a Hylian. So I look something like one. Ganondorf is a Gerudo. The King of them in fact. Link and Zelda are Hylians. She's their princess. The Rito are the bird race. The Zoras are the fish race, and the Gorons are... Hm. I suppose you could call them the rock race. They are strong and tough and eat all kinds of rocks. They live on Death Mountain."

Yugure pointed to it. "Right there. It's an active volcano. So you have to be really careful while climbing to certain areas. But they also have really amazing hot springs. Perhaps I could... Take you sometime?"

"Oh. So it's probably something like the Sacred Realm. I've never been there but it's where the gods in my world stay." Yugure tasted more of his soup. "Oh? Well... I suppose I am rather unique. I didn't even have a name at first. So I created one. I'm Yugure. It means dusk."

[umbra-imperium]

"Ah... I'm not exactly... Good. Or at least.. I don't think I am? I was created from the darkness of Link's heart. You know. The hero of Hyrule? The one with the Triforce of Courage? Yeah. I'm his dark half. The Demon King Ganondorf created me."

Yugure blinked. He hadn't expected that at all.

"Oh. I could sense you were divine but I've never met a goddess in training before. How interesting. Love? Ah... I didn't know there could be a goddess of Love."

[umbra-imperium]

Even beings like him had to eat once in a while. True it probably wouldn't kill him not to. But Yugure didn't enjoy the feeling of starvation. He pulled out a second bowl from his satchel and used the ladel to get Aphrodite a portion of the pumpkin soup. Then got some for his own bowl.

"Here. It's good, I promise. I've spent some time practicing."

He blinked. Wondering why she glowed. Yugure hadn't done any holy rituals or visited any shrines. It wasn't really... His thing. That made him wonder what kind of goddess she was.

"I'm glad. I've only cooked for myself until now. Most are too afraid to come near me." Well... This was a new feeling. How curious. Yugure smiled a little. Then sipped at his own bowl.

[umbra-imperium]

"Hehe. You're good." He moved a little closer. The shadows shifting with his steps. "Does that make you nervous? I'm a rather special creation of his. So it's best you stay on my good side, warrior. I may be able to keep you alive a little longer." Yugure's hand moved towards his hilt. "But if you wish to play? I suppose I could spare a few minutes."

His ruby red eyes fixated upon the blade. Yugure couldn't see the blade fully from where he stood. But it's aura... He didn't like it. Even so... He would put on the facade of being harmless. For now.

He stared at her for a moment. Trying to see if she was lying. Yugure could sense that she wasn't and relaxed. Somewhat. She still had the divine aura and he wasn't sure what to do.

"Alright. You may stay for a bit then. The food's about ready anyway. I hope you're alright with pumpkin soup."
