Chapter Text
The rain has ceased. Darkness now cloaks the forest in ebony black, save for the makeshift reading light emanating from the Sheikah Slate and the glimmering fanfare of the surrounding fireflies. You close the journal and stare into the wilderness for a long while, listening to the ambient chorus of woodland flora and fauna which wraps you in delicate, aural embrace.
You have been alone since you awoke in that cold, blue shrine only a month prior. Only now do you feel, for the first time since your second birth, lonely.
You tuck the little book away, back to the pocket which held its secrets for over a century. You recline now against the soggy grass, allowing damp, cold earth to seep into your hair and caress your scalp, sending a shiver down your spine. Tomorrow you shall awaken with renewed resolve. You shall continue on your journey, slaying every enemy you encounter, helping every citizen in need, freeing every Divine Beast, activating every tower and shrine, growing stronger and stronger until you can free her from that crimson tower. You shall do whatever you must for your Kingdom. You shall do whatever you must for her.
Tomorrow, you shall continue your grand, burdensome pursuit. For now, clutching the outline of the slender book against your scarred chest, you rest.
