LIGHT

Warmth, love and kindness.
The Life Stream glimmers and glitters with joy, swirls of shimmering dust dancing around the ray of life.
It was time for new ones to test their wings.


One by one, new adventurers now arrive in the Tree. As one gain wings and rises to the second floor, another light brings in the next person. Soon, a steady stream of people from all kinds of worlds, times and realities come to join the others. Whether confused, angry, excited or scared, your arrival is welcomed with nothing but joy as the fireflies and glow worms descend to greet their new friends.

The Tree offers no explanation and no reason, but the truth is undeniable.

As you will soon realize, it isn't easy to be tiny.

Link nodded enthusiastically at the mention of the Tears. This was exciting for him, to hear that his own journey followed similar paths to the one taken by other Heroes. They were never truly alone in their journeys, but it was impossible for someone else to understand the tribulations experienced by the Hero himself. He'd tried to explain the feeling of listlessness to Ilia after bidding farewell Midna but had found himself at a loss.

... Honestly, he looked a little like a puppy who just got praised.

"With the spirits!" As if that explained everything.

"In order to return Light to the areas covered in Twilight. Or..." but that didn't sound quite right, "Or maybe it was different for you?"

[sleepwardsnored]

Oh, it was just as exciting on his end, too! That even in a time so different, certain things remained the same... besides their obvious similarities, there were more connections between the two that he was eager to discover!

So, with a big smile, he listened, and with a rare ease responded.

"Slightly different. It wasn't to restore Light, but to prove strength of spirit to the Goddesses." Though now that he said it, he wondered offhandedly-- was it just his spirit or both of theirs, now? Curious, this cycle thing.

"What was the Twilight like?" Maybe it was similar to the Silent Realm? ...Though a little less, er, stressful, he hoped...

[twilightlegend]

Was it because they were, ultimately, at the core of it all, the same person? Or was it because the two had simply been through so many similar events that they could just read between the lines and understand what the other was talking about? Either way, the ease at which this conversation seemed to carry itself was uncharacteristic for Link.

... Both Links.

Oooh, this was going to be confusing, wasn't it?

"Strength of spirit..." That sounded like a trial of some sort. Link wondered idly if the Light Spirits knew of this legacy. But when he's asked about the Twilight, Link's smile took on a slightly melancholy edge. In his excitement, he had momentarily forgotten the events that had happened back home.

"... It's very serene and a little sad. When you first come across it, it's startling and not very pleasant but..." he trailed off before adding softly, "It's very beautiful."

[sleepwardsnored]

They'd figure something out eventually. Probably. Such is the advantage of being Link, an excellent problem solver no matter what the incarnation! ...Right?

Listening to the other Link describe the Twilight, he nodded, silently noting the similarities to the Silent Realm... although the 'serenity' of such a place never seemed to last too long, in his own experience. He hoped that, despite the melancholy tone in his voice, that this other boy had a better experience with it, but there would be no way to tell without more questions.

...Which he was eager to get to anyway, but perhaps not all at once!

"I suppose it would be startling to see, if it had taken over places the Light had been..."
