    Summary

    During Link's travels, he hears rumors and stories about the adventures of the “revived champion knight of Hyrule.” It’s a role he takes seriously, but he keeps hearing about how the hero recently came to a village…one he’s sure he hasn’t been to recently. Or how the hero has saved people when he knows he was somewhere else at the time. Suddenly, everywhere he goes, he hears about this hero going places and doing things he knows he hasn’t done.

    Thankfully, that person isn’t doing anything horrible in his name. In fact, it seems like they’re genuinely trying to help. Yet, it seems they’re always just barely missing each other. It isn't until after the upheaval that Link and the mysterious “champion” finally meet. Out on a mission to help the monster-hunting crew stationed in Hebra, he finally gets to meet them, a farmer turned adventurer turned warrior dedicated to helping this land.

    Too bad they’re a bit rough around the edges, brimming with pride and ego by the handful. Now that they’ve finally met, they can't seem to get rid of each other. Is courage really that different from pride at the end of the day?

    Summary

    The winters only grow colder as the years pass, with this one being the harshest so far.

    So used to surviving -mostly- alone, hunkered down in your cabin by the hearth, it’s a shock to your system when you discover a Living doll abandoned in your snow covered land.

    Unsure how to care for your new companion while juggling the struggles of a harsh winter and a fussy Mare, you do what you do best; hard backbreaking work.

    Except someone doesn’t seem so happy about that.

    God might be the flawed invention of an anguished humanity, but the moments you share with the priest who keeps challenging you feel like a touch of grace.

    Summary

    “I am no fool. I am aware of my appearance. Do not take me as an idiot.”

    “Does that make me one, then?”

    “It would, if you are truly not scared of me.”

    She was quiet for a moment, then she spoke again. “I do not judge books by their covers.” He did not have any words for this. Was she implying his appearance is something so easy to look past? He refused.

    “I am not a book, and you are no fool. I see your quivering. Leave me be and forget I was here.”
