Hello all. As you may have noticed, posts have become less frequent, and in my opinion, have dropped in quality. I’m struggling with many things right now, including mental health, and this has become another weight on my chest. When I have the time, energy, and, quite frankly, desire, I’ll try to post an arc. But until then, I’m sorry for the silence.

#I truly am sorry #I’m just going through some shit and don’t always have the mental ability to work on the story #And I’d rather the things I do post be good rather than quick #And when I’m forcing myself to post something it doesn’t always turn out great #not from the slate

*A door slams, then there's a clatter*

Who's-

*There's a thump*

Link!

Master? Master, please get up. Your friends need you, please get up.

Did the sword just- no, nevermind, there's no time. MIPHA, ZELDA, HELP!

*Footsteps. The unmistakable clang of weapons can be heard in the background*

What happened- is that Link?

Mipha, can you...?

A bit, but, they're bleeding out, Impa, we need to get professional help.

Maybe Zelda can...

If there's a chance it'll work, do it.

*Footsteps*

Augh- die already, you-!

...Master?

...!

Link's injured, I'll take over here! Go!

Impa, you're-

I said go!

*The sound of fighting fades into the background as Zelda runs. The recording clicks off*

No one ever noticed the sword. Maybe Impa noticed the glow, and maybe Zelda heard her speak, but neither of them ever thought about it again. I didn't either, brushed it off as panic. I'd say that was your biggest advantage, but...

I didn't know either.

So, how did you win?

[recovered-from-the-slate]

Master, if you wish to find Impa, I suggest going through this hall.

Fuck, that's a lot of moblins. Ok, let's be smart about this. Maybe I should run past them?

Master, you may want to use your bow to stun the monsters.

Oh... right.

Master?

I was hoping we wouldn't have to kill them...

There is a high chance they would kill you if you did not kill them.

Right.

*The sound of conversation is replaced by the sound of arrows and the grunts of moblins. There's footsteps*

HYAAAAA!

*Link shouts, and the moblins grow quiet.*

Ugh... come on...ow... let's hurry...

[recovered-from-the-slate]

Master, you may want to lower your voice.

Right, everything here wants to kill us. Sorry, me.

Master, I detect a decrease in your mood.

Yeah... my mood is definitely decreasing...

Would it raise your mood if we talked about it?

Probably not, but thanks anyway.

Of course, Master. Your health and wellbeing are my top priorities.

[recovered-from-the-slate]

Master, there is a 78% chance you will not survive this battle alone. Please turn back, if you were to continue, many lives, including your own, will be lost.

I know, Fi, but I can't. There's too many people to save.

Master, please seek aid. You are injured.

We have to continue. I have to continue.

[recovered-from-the-slate]

Hey y’all, I'm really sorry but I don't think I have the capacity to post today. I’ll try to make something for tomorrow, though.

#today was pretty stressful and I don't want to burn myself out even more #hope y'all understand #sorry #Not from the slate

[recovered-from-the-slate]

So there isn't a hostage situation? If you guys are absolutely certain, then I'll gather a team to find the missing people.

Well, now I have doubts.

We were probably wrong. Sorry Zel, there's no hostage situation.

*Footsteps rapidly approach*

HELP, THERE'S A HOSTAGE SITUATION!

Forget everything I just said, there's a hostage situation!

Well, shit.

Uh, this is a bad time, but Purah wanted me to give this to you?

Just turn it off and put it somewhere safe!

I don't know-

*Footsteps*

How to turn it off. Nevermind then. Maybe it's this? No, maybe it's this red thing? Or- oops-

*The audio fades, but the screen remains filled with static*

Remember, it'll all come crashing down.

[recovered-from-the-slate]

Zelda?

*The harp stops*

Mipha? Link? Shit, is it time already?

Yes and no. People are missing, and we think there might be a hostage situation.

That's... definitely a conclusion to come to. Who's missing?

Prince Ralis and Yunobo.

You don't believe us, do you?

Sorry, it's just hard to believe. A hostage situation? During a political alliance celebration?I guess...

Maybe we panicked and jumped to conclusions?

I mean, we do have a habit of doing that

#Recovered Footage 10 #Champion Mipha Renuvo #Queen Zelda Nayfardin Hyrule #Champion Link Eton

[recovered-from-the-slate]

*The footsteps increase and get louder. The harp is almost drowned out, but it's still there*

Zelda! Zelda, where are you? This is serious, we need you!

Zelda! Zel- wait, do you hear that?

Is that... a harp?

Zelda plays the harp!

Come on, maybe it's her!

*There's a splash. It sounds like Mipha dived into the moat surrounding the garden*

Ack- wait! Slow down! I can't swim as well as you!

#Recovered Footage 10 #Champion Mipha Renuvo #Champion Link Eton

[recovered-from-the-slate]

Wait, now that I think about it, I haven't seen Yunobo since he and the other Gorons arrived.

...Please tell me we don't have a hostage situation...

...I think we have a hostage situation...

*There's silence. When Mipha speaks, her voice is quiet*

Let's hurry and find Zelda before this gets any worse.

*The harp continues playing*

#Recovered Footage 10 #Champion Link Eton #Champion Mipha Renuvo #(yay hostage situations!)

[recovered-from-the-slate]

Perhaps it is. We should ask Zelda when we find her.

Good idea. Do you know where she is?

I think she's in the gardens. She's probably so nervous, this is her first big political meeting.

The gardens? It's going to be hard to find her, that place is huge.

Maybe if we yell she'll find us?

So will the entire castle.

That's true...

*In the distance, someone is playing a harp*

[recovered-from-the-slate]

Hey, shouldn't the event be starting soon?

I think so. There must be a delay.

Weird. Oh, that reminds me, have you seen Ralis around? I couldn't find him.

No, sorry. Maybe that's the delay?

Ok, I have an hour so we'll pick up where we left of

#Not from the slate #for the best experience listen to this: #https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4ReyoNpyrM&ab_channel=SkywardSwordSound

[recovered-from-the-slate]

Sorry to end abruptly, but I'm gonna have to continue this arc tomorrow

#Not from the slate #I have something big planned but it got late really fast #late as in late at night

[recovered-from-the-slate]

*The door closes as the two walk out of the study*

What were you even doing in there?

Trying to find something on the late Queen. It's a weird story.

From what I can remember, Amelin was pretty busy a lot. She wasn't really around much.

Yeah, I know. Again, it's a weird story.

[recovered-from-the-slate]

It's fine, I can ask Zelda if I need to... and I'm talking to myself again. Ok.

*There's a knock*

Link? Is that you?

Depends on who- wait, Mipha?

The one and only! I passed Purah, she said you were here. I didn't really believe her, honestly. It's still kind of unbelievable. You, my best friend, chosen hero?

Yeah, I still wake up confused. Although, the king's old study is an odd place for anyone to be.

[recovered-from-the-slate]

*Footsteps, then a door opening*

Hey Link, are you busy?

No, what's up?

I have to go prepare for the celebration later, can you give this to Zelda?

Probably, is she in her room?

I think so. If she's not there, then she's likely in the library. Good luck!

Thanks! Oh, if you see my family, tell them I'm very busy, but want to see them later!

Will do!

*There's some shuffling*

Oh, the slate's on! While you give that to Zelda, can you record some stuff around the castle? Just to demonstrate the abilities of the slate.

Ok! Wait how do I-

*The door closes*

Turn it off.
