It was a day like any other when she was in Taviora at least. Little things would change but daily routine for winter was setting in. Of course she wanted to visit Hyrule soon and take Astraea as well! Just so they could meet. She sort of decided she liked him when she was talking to Astraea and well in true Astraea fashion she now had to see this boy that had Zelda so intrigued. Plus a trip to Diveen was something long coming for Raea! And Zelda for that matter, she wanted to go to the land where the angels reigned supreme and meet Hyrule’s family if it was in the cards. Today though she was just spending time with her mother and for a time her grandfather, a simple life, but a good one for the little princess. Her tail waved happily behind her as she clutched her hare her mother had caught. Of course she could hunt on her own, she had helped! But her mother was much faster and much more efficient in general.

Now she clutched her lunch like the happy child she was. Following in her mother’s trail while they made their way to the meadow everything was normal. She didn’t know today would be completely not normal when the sound of a scream hit her ears. She never heard anyone make such a scared sound before. Zelda dropped her lunch in surprise looking around quickly with her teal eyes for the source of the noise. Her eyes finally landed on her mother who looked more scary and serious than she ever had before. The order came curtly and Zelda could tell by her tones she was completely serious. Her mom was gone before she knew it, dancing into the forest so quickly towards the sound and dropping the hare at her feet before running off. She couldn’t even utter a word before she was standing alone. She looked around for a moment weighing her options before grabbing back up her hare and then her mother’s and deciding to not obey followed.

She could hear her mom crashing through the brush and woods even with the own crunch of her paws. Perhaps she shouldn’t have followed but she felt it was right to go too. She wasn’t helpless anymore! She was over half grown! She was plenty big enough to help she if she needed it! That was what she was set on and determination shown in the auburn girls eyes as she followed behind. She heard the other boy’s cries just as her mother had before. However she worked her way deeper into the forest. She was scared and tense and worried for the boy but she wanted to help him too. She simply couldn’t ignore him. Maybe it wasn’t the motherly instincts her mom had, but it was a similar drive to simply help those she found in need.

When Zelda arrived she was peering through the trees. Ears back and looking around. She saw her mom with a boy that was much larger than Zelda, but he was also probably around the same age. She still clutched the two hares in her maw watching her mom and the boy from a short distance away and slightly obscured in the trees. It didn’t seem like anyone was around but still Hyrule opened her eyes to some of the bads are in the world. She felt so bad for him and her heart truly went out to him, but Zelda had to wait for a moment before coming out into the open as well.
