Day 3

Summary: So Danny’s injury is almost completely healed and the group goes through the portal to a random world, but that’s not important. What matters is that our little ghost blob finally gets a name!

Word Count: 4,414

Danny woke up the next day feeling surprisingly better, but at the same time, still tired. Then again, that was a normal thing since forever, not just after the incident. He was a little surprised that he’d actually gotten some sleep this time, even though he’d kept waking up three random times. It was early again, so he considered going back to sleep, but decided against it. This time, Sky was up covering the last shift before morning. He didn’t seem like a morning person at all.

Maybe Danny should share some of his precious, limited supply of caffeine?

The young halfa stretched and twisted his body before he stood up, unintentionally popping his back like there were fireworks in there. Sky had asked him if he was okay and laughed a little, and Danny smiled and nodded. Then he picked up his backpack that he’d once again used as a pillow and left for the ruins to get what privacy he could get to change his bandages and put his binder back on.

While he was in the dark room, only using the flashlight from his phone, Danny took a moment to think again. The other day sucked a lot, but he got some confirmation from being temporarily sick that might’ve made it worth it.

First, Hyrule’s little rant was something Danny hadn’t expected, but the way Hyrule repeatedly asked to let him know when he started to show symptoms left Danny with the impression that the group often neglected their health. The young halfa would’ve felt bad if the gratitude that slipped into his voice when he assured Hyrule that he would was fake, but it wasn’t.

Second, when Danny started showing symptoms, it came so suddenly that he was thinking at first that it was an early caffeine crash. Maybe it was part of it, though. Hyrule practically jumped to try to help him, reaching into his brown bag to search for some non magical medicine, but Danny beat him to it.

He opened his own backpack, careful not to let anyone see the little ghost blob, and reached for some of the medicine that Jazz insisted he bring with him just incase before he left. After spending probably five minutes rereading the same descriptions over and over and thinking of what he was experiencing, he finally chose to swallow a pill to help with migraines.

His stomach was felt like it was swirling around, and it didn’t help with his dizzy and suddenly fatigued he felt, but in his opinion, migraines were the worst. After that, Danny put his books away and walked over to sit by a tree under the shade, saying that he was going to wait for the effects to wear off. He had his backpack in his lap so he could keep the ghost blob close and rest his head on it. The young halfa had no plans to fall asleep, only to rest his eyes, but he ended up doing that anyways before he knew it.

When Sky woke him up, it didn’t just startle Danny because he was touching him, but because he didn’t realize he fell asleep. The realization scared him, but then he noticed that nothing happened to him. In fact, they’d mostly left him alone and went off to do their own things quietly. He was a little touched that they’d gotten non-magic food. After that, he drifted right back to sleep for almost another hour. Miraculously, it was the best sleep he’s had in a while.

Also, what was up with that weird man with the hat in his dream?

If they’d wanted to do any harm to him, they definitely would’ve done it by now while he was at a low point, while he was sick and injured.

Unless that’s an act, too.

That thought made Danny shake his head a little. The looks on their faces when they realized magic could make him sick after breakfast and when he started showing symptoms hadn’t seemed fake. He should give them a real chance.

But he’d been tricked before.

No. They were his best bet at getting home, and so far, they’ve been nothing but nice and considerate. He wasn’t going to let his guard down completely, but he wasn’t going to be a self isolating jerk, either.

“What do you think, little guy? Think they deserve a chance?” Danny asked, wrapping the bandages around the injury, which was recovering very well thanks to his fast healing. It would probably be gone by tonight at this rate. The blob ghost warbled in agreement and even sort of “said” that their emotions the other day towards him were genuine.

As a half ghost, it was sometimes a little bit harder for Danny to sense emotions the way normal ghosts did, especially while in human form, so this was helpful confirmation from the wisp. A small weight lifted from his shoulders.”If you say so.” He said. He put the jacket away after golfing it and started putting the rest of the armor covering his upper body back on. As he was doing this, a realization came to him. He glanced at the bag.

“Actually, do you have a name? I can’t believe I just asked you this now.” He asked.

The ghost blob gave him a negative response.

“How about a nickname, then? I can’t just call you “ghost blob” the whole time. I mean, I can, but that just doesn’t sit right with me. It feels rude, you know?” Danny suggested. He knew it wasn’t exactly fun to just be called “ghost” the whole time you’re talking to someone. Now and then is okay, along with certain variations of the name like “Spooks” for example, but being addressed by just “ghost” every single time gets a little annoying. The ghost blob trilled in agreement with the idea.

Danny hummed and began thinking about possible names. Blobby and Bob were a straight up no, along with death related names. This ghost blob was kind and sweet. Something death related would give the wrong impression and be insulting. A lot of ghost names that came to mind like “Casper” were just too cheesy. He looked at the ghost blob nestling on his jacket to see if anything fitting would pop into his mind.

And something did! It was odd that it was the first thing Danny thought, but maybe it would work?“How do you feel about Orbit?” He asked.

The ghost blob chirped. Well, Orbit now.

“Oh, good, because half the names that came to mind are space related.” Danny chuckled. He reached into the bag and rummaged around for another energy drink. Orbit flew out of the backpack and made themself comfortable nestled in his hair while he did so. Once he found one, he felt around for another and counted in his head.”Only three left?!” Danny exclaimed, probably with more shock than there’d be in a normal person’s voice.

Call him a caffeine addict, but he suddenly wanted to get home even more. Orbit warbled in question as Danny pulled one of them out and opened it, both sounds echoing in the small space.

“I’ll be extra tired and irritable, that’s what’ll happen.” Danny answered before taking a sip. After swallowing some, he started to stand up.“We should head back.” He said. Not needing any instruction, Orbit flew into the backpack and sat on his jacket. The poor fellow was probably wanting to stay outside longer. Danny decided he would have to find a way to get alone time for longer periods, preferably without the group getting suspicious.

He zipped the backpack up and used his only free hand to pick it up and wiggled a little to get it on. He walked out of the room, left the ruins, and was a little surprised to see the rest of the group was already awake and getting ready to eat. Except Twilight wasn’t there for some reason. Danny couldn’t see him in the rising orange light from the sun, or in the shadows that were a bit darker than when the young halfa left. Maybe he just went for an early morning walk or something.

Danny was quickly handed a morning meal by Wild when he got closer.”Thank you.” Danny said. Wild nodded and smiled a little, then went to go sit and eat his own meal. Some of the members still seemed to be waking up, and Sky was one of them. After spotting him, Danny walked over to him and showed him the energy drink.“Want some? You seemed pretty tired and grumpy earlier, so unless you plan on getting a nap in today, I think you might want a sip.” He offered.

He tried to ignore some of the others turning to look at them. Sky took the can and looked at it confused. He turned it around in his hand, careful not to spill it through the opening.

“What is it?” The hylian asked. He sounded slightly hesitant, which was fair. Danny had gotten sick just yesterday from one of their foods. Maybe offering it was actually a bad idea.

“Energy drink. It has eighty milligrams of caffeine in it.” Danny replied.

Sky looked up at him a little surprised, but smiled.“Eighty? No thanks, that might be too much for me.” Sky said, handing the drink back to Danny.”Thanks for the offer, though.” He said.

Danny shrugged a little.“Suit yourself.” He said, then proceeded to take a sip. The others were still staring at him as he went and sat down by the same tree he fell asleep against yesterday to eat, careful not to squish his backpack any. He’d managed to skip dinner the other night, but something told him that he wouldn’t be so convincing this time. Besides, he really was hungry. The young halfa felt a little exposed until they finally turned their attention to something else.

Since Danny didn’t see anyone jump or pull out their swords, he thought it was fine, though. So he put the energy drink down next to him, pausing to make sure it would fall over, then began to eat.

About halfway through his meal, a black nose came into view and started sniffing the food. Danny turned to see Wolfie was back.“Oh, you’re back.” Danny said. Looking at the wolf again, he instantly remembered his first conclusion about Twilight. He pushed that thought down. He still didn’t want to make those assumptions just yet, and it was early.

Danny was going to wait and observe first. After breakfast and caffeine, obviously. Wolfie looked at him and tilted his head, then slowly came closer to get a better sniff at his food. Danny lifted an arm against his chest and shoulders to stop him from being able to lean any further.”Sorry, but no. I don’t know if any of this is safe for dogs.” He said. Wolfie quickly pulled his head up to look at Danny, almost offended by his words.

Danny lifted his free hand up as if surrendering.“Hey, I know you’re not a dog, but you’re still related on an evolutionary and biological level. So we’re not risking it.” He explained. Wolfie was still for a bit, looking thoughtful, before nodding. He turned to sit down next to him. Danny returned to eating in silence, and once he was done, he grabbed the energy drink and downed it.

The cloud of sleepiness still hovering in his head would clear soon enough. He got his backpack off and held it on the opposite side of Wolfie, who turned to him and looked at the bag. Danny briefly glanced at him. Animals were known for seeing or sensing ghosts, and he really hoped that if he knew, he wouldn’t spill the secret or try to eat Orbit. If he even could. Danny put the empty energy drink in the same place as the one from the day before.

After that, he zipped it up and looked at Wolfie.”Sooo, do you want something?” He asked. Wolfie huffed and pointed at the back with his head.”No, you’re not eating anything in there.” Danny said blankly.

He was met with a disapproving look. From a wolf.

Wolfie huffed again and turned to leave, but Danny noticed something as his head turned. He reached out and placed his hand on the wolf’s back.”Wait.” He said, suddenly serious. Wolfie stopped and turned to face him as his expression shifted.”Open your mouth again real quick, please.” Danny requested. Wolfie looked confused, but did as he asked and opened his mouth. Not as wide as he probably could, but definitely enough that the halfa noticed the glint in the sunlight as he turned.

There was a piece of metal in his mouth, wedged between some of his back teeth.

“How did that get in there?” Danny half muttered. He turned over to his backpack and unzipped it.“I’ll make you a deal, Wolfie.” He said, reaching past Orbit and into the first aid bag that held more than a regular kit.”I need you to stay still for a bit, and if you can do that, I’ll give you some of my lunch if it’s safe for wolves.” He said. He found a very small brown bag that had different kinds of tweezers and forceps, courtesy of his parents. He grabbed one of the tweezers and pulled it out of his backpack.

When Danny zipped his backpack up and looked back at Wolfie, he looked a little surprised and even nervous. He’d closed his mouth and reared his head back some.”Oh, don’t worry, these are just tweezers. You want that piece of metal out, right?” Danny said, hoping it would comfort the animal. He was no animal expert, that honor would be better suited for Sam, but he doubted the wolf was comfortable with it.

After a moment’s hesitation, Wolfie nodded and leaned forward. He opened his mouth to allow Danny access to the piece of metal.“Alright, I’ll try to make this quick.” Danny said. Wolfie still looked a little uneasy, but did as Danny said earlier and remained still. It was amazing how expressive the wolf was.

Danny used one hand to stay balanced on the ground while the other went just past the entrance of the wolf’s jaws and teeth. Danny kept his hand as steady as he could as he focused on moving the tweezers closer to the piece of metal without grazing the teeth or gums.

Ancients, this wolf needed a mint.

Luckily for both of them, Danny successfully grabbed the piece of broken metal. He counted down under his breath, then began pulling on the metal, careful not to use too much strength. Danny was pleased to see that it came out quickly.

Wolfie let out a brief whine when he got it out and flinched, but had great enough self control to not bite or pull back. A quick scan at the sight showed no signs of infection or damage to the teeth or gums, not that the young halfa could see.

“Sorry, buddy, but I got it out.” Danny said, pulling the tweezers out and showing the canine the piece of metal that had been wedged between some of his teeth. Wolfie looked at it surprised and closed his mouth. Then he shifted his gaze to look at Danny as he dropped the piece onto a tiny ziplock bag. He’d properly throw it away later.“...What?“ Danny asked when the wolf didn’t look away.

Wolfie nudged his head under Danny’s arm and shuffled a little closer to place his head on Danny’s shoulder. Wolfie’s tail wagged twice, making rustling sounds in the grass. Danny smiled and held his arm around Wolfie.”Your welcome.” He said. That’s when he finally noticed that the rest of the group was staring at him. Time didn’t look quite as surprised as the others, but there was definitely a bit of surprise there. Four was practically the opposite, covering his mouth with a hand. All of a sudden, Danny felt a little exposed and uncomfortable with so many eyes on him like that.

“You put your hand in a wolf’s mouth.” Sky said. It almost sounded like a question asked with slight disbelief.

“Well, not really, I used tweezers.” Danny said, lifting them up.”Besides, it looked uncomfortable having a piece of metal between his teeth. Thank goodness it wasn’t sharp, that would’ve been worse.” He added. Wolfie pulled out of the hug and started walking towards the rest of the group. Danny put the tweezers away and looked at the wolf as he approached Wind.“Also, two words for you, Wolfie. Breath mints.” Danny said.

Wolfie quickly turned around and made a noise in offense. Danny almost laughed, but kept quiet and just smiled. Time stood up.“If everyone’s done eating, we need to start looking for the portal.” He said.

Very quickly, everyone packed up and was ready to start walking. Hyrule decided to walk next to Danny and Wolfie took a position at the back.”Are you okay walking?” Hyrule asked.

Danny nodded, tightening the shoulder straps so the backpack wouldn’t bounce so much.”Yeah, I’m all good. It’s actually even better than I expected.” He replied. He was still a little hesitant to talk with them, but Orbit confirming that all of their worrying and happiness towards him was genuine helped him feel more confident than yesterday.

“That’s great! And don’t worry, we’ll start your training as soon as it’s completely healed so you don’t have to worry about monsters anymore.” Hyrule said. Danny honestly felt a little irritated being underestimated like that, but he did this to himself. On purpose. Plus, he hadn’t exactly been lying, and Hyrule didn’t seem to be trying to be mean.

Danny smiled.”I really appreciate it.” He said. He scanned the group ahead.”But where’s Twilight?” He asked. Suddenly, a hand grabbed his shoulder. Danny inhaled sharply and turned around, but quickly calmed down when he realized that it was just Twilight, who pulled his hand away.

“Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you.” Twilight said. Danny glanced behind him. Wolfie was gone. He looked back at Twilight, who was holding Epona’s reigns.

“It’s all good.” Danny said.

~~~~~(Time Skip)~~~~~

When lunch came around, Danny decided to sit closer to the group. He wasn’t sore from walking, it wasn’t exactly much compared to the exercise that was ghost fighting, escaping ghost hunters, escaping Dash, and does playing with Cujo count when he can and has thrown him multiple times during tug of war? And that doesn’t include how he and his best friends would have to walk to, from, and around school every day, or gym.

Sure, it wasn’t nearly this much, but the point is that he wasn’t surprised that he wasn’t tired. Hyrule and Twilight asked him a few times if he was tired, but Danny kept saying no, but he appreciated them saying that they wouldn’t mind stopping if he needed to. He was also grateful that they hadn’t asked him about his world again just yet, and instead talked about their own. Maybe they could tell he didn’t want to?

Speaking of Twilight, after he ate, he left to go for a bit of alone time, but wouldn’t you know it? Wolfie suddenly appeared a few minutes after Twilight was gone. True to his word, Danny shared some of his meal with the wolf, who left shortly after.

Three guesses as to who reappeared five minutes later, everyone!

Bingo, it was Twilight!

Danny felt like he didn’t need much more confirmation. Three times, the wolf had appeared when Twilight was gone and Twilight appeared when the wolf was gone. They both had the same eye color and marking, along with the crystal. Still, what if Danny was still wrong? And so what if he was right anyways? What would that change? As a stranger, Twilight obviously didn’t really trust Danny with this if he was leaving to transform, especially if he kept it secret from the others as well, which he wasn’t entirely sure of yet.

Twilight clearly knew them better than Danny. Not to mention the bad reputation wolves tend to have in his world. Maybe it was still attached to them in this world and others, too. And Danny knew well that if a species has a bad reputation, chances are there’s at least one person out there devoting themselves to hunting that species. It was reasonable to keep it a secret.

Now Danny felt a little bad thinking about how Twilight would feel if he was really trying to keep it a secret and Danny practically figured it out the first time they met, but he almost couldn’t help thinking how they were definitely the same. The signs were so obvious to him!

Danny mentally pushed that aside. The main thing was that whatever reason Twilight was keeping it a secret, he was going to play along for his sake. He wasn’t going to ask, he wasn’t going to give hints that he knew, and he wasn’t going to do some dramatic “I knew all along” reveal before he’d step through the portal to go home. If Twilight wanted him to know, he’d tell him. Danny was going to just move on, regardless of whether or not he was right.

“Hey, Danny.” A voice piped up. Danny blinked and looked over at Legend. The sassy one with pink tips in his hair.”I just wanted you to know that the portal is a little random. When we find it, we’re not sure if it’ll take us to your world or one of ours.” He said. Danny’s eyes widened a bit.

There were nine of them. Nine different worlds other than his own. Including him, that made ten. Since they were already in one, it was back to nine. A random chance of ending up in one of these nine other places. It was a roll of the dice. Who knew how many portals he’d have to go through before he finally ended up in his own?

“Oh.” Was all he could say. The train of thought regarding Twilight had just been ran straight through by another train.

After lunch was over, the group continued walking. Wolfie had left, and they found Twilight up ahead.

~~~~~(Time Skip)~~~~~

“That’s a weird water bottle. Why does it have tiny buttons?” Sky asked, pointing at the Fenton thermos in Danny’s backpack pocket from his place on Twilight’s back. Why he was getting a piggyback ride, Danny forgot. He probably wasn’t even paying attention at the time.

“It’s actually a thermos, but close enough to a water bottle that I can’t exactly argue. As for the buttons, my parents made it and they’re... I guess you could say a little extra. I’m not sure what the buttons do exactly, but knowing them, now isn’t the best time to find out. They just gave it to me for whatever reason. I usually put leftover soup in it.” Danny replied.

That earned an odd look from the hylian Danny was talking to, along with Twilight.“...Is there soup in it now?” Sky asked.

Danny thought about it. He didn’t remember putting soup in it before he left. But then again, he also didn’t remember Orbit sneaking into his backpack. Would it even be good by now?

Danny reached for the thermos and began twisting the top off, slowing himself down a little so he wouldn’t step on anyone’s heels. Opening it the normal way like this wouldn’t suck him into the thermos. Danny just had to be careful not to press the buttons.“I don’t think I put any in there.” He said as he twisted the lid. A second later, he opened it and got a look inside.“Nope, none.” He confirmed.

“Found it!” Wind shouted up ahead. Danny twisted the lid back on and put the thermos back into the side pocket of his backpack. Wind was waving the group to go around the cliff they were walking beside, which luckily wasn’t very tall and not much of a safety hazard to be this close to. When Danny followed them around the cliff, he paused seeing the portal.

It was the same purple that he saw only for a split second before darkness. It was shaped like a triangle, and the three points seemed to curved forwards. The dark purple only outlined the portal, the inner part of it seemed to be dark. And yet Danny thought he could see an even darker triangle in the middle. The extra dark triangle swirled, both expelling darkness and absorbing light.

Danny jumped slightly when he felt a hand on his shoulder and glanced at Twilight, who looked a little worried, along with Sky.”Don’t worry, we’re all going to be on the other side incase there are monsters.” Twilight said.

Danny didn’t want to admit it with how many times he’s gone through portals to the ghost zone, but a small part of him felt like it needed to hear that.”Thanks.” He said. He looked back and saw that Warriors, Legend, and Four had already gone through. Wild and Wind went in next, followed by Time and Hyrule, who glanced back to give Danny a look of encouragement.

Epona grew a little nervous as they got closer, and Twilight looked a bit regretful. Sky acted for him and pet her gently to help sooth her.

When they got closer, Danny paused.”Hey, Twilight? Sky?” He asked. Twilight paused and both looked at him. “I don’t see Wolfie anywhere, and magic is honestly an unexplored area to me, so forgive me if this is a childish suggestion, but is Wolfie like a magic guardian taking the form of a wolf or something and he’s going to take a different path? Is that kind of thing real here?” Danny asked.

Twilight’s face twisted a bit, as if in thought, and then he smiled.“Yeah, you could say that.” He replied.

Danny gave him a look that said “I don’t like where this is going” .“Do I want to know what you mean by that?” He asked hesitantly.

“Probably not.” Sky answered with a shrug.

“And yeah, he’s coming with us. For what it’s worth, he appreciates you not being scared of him.” Twilight said.

Danny smiled and continued walking towards the dark purple gateway with Twilight, Sky, and Epona.“He talks to you too? That’s pretty neat!” Danny said. Twilight nodded and they stepped into the portal.

(I probably don’t respond to all of your comments, but know that I do see all of them and love reading them! Sometimes, while I’m writing or trying to, I’ll go back and look at them again! Including the things said in reblogs! I hope you enjoyed reading this!)

The Beginning

Summary: Our amazing group of heroes gains a new, unique member. At the same time, our dear halfa gains a truckload of potential headaches.

Word count: 2,883

It was ironic, funny even, how much Zant’s attempt to stop him backfired. The shadow crystal was meant to be a curse, a thing to avoid being subjected to. And yet it had proven extremely useful, and even fun. Being a wolf meant higher senses, thus Twilight had an easier time detecting danger and tracking down lost companions. And the first part was exactly the reason why he was currently sprinting through the forest.

Well, part of the reason. The other part was that he was originally planning a simple, calm walk through the Faron Woods of Sky’s world, but when he was still in sight of the group, he heard a distant scream through the other sounds around him and wasted no time in rushing to investigate. The group seemed to hear it too. He heard them following behind him for a short while, but he was too fast for them to keep up with, and now their voices were blending in with the chirping birds, the slight wind around him, chittering squirrels, and other such sounds. As Twilight grew closer to where the scream came from, his nose picked up two new scents. One was unfamiliar in almost every way, but the other was definitely familiar. Bokoblin.

It smelled slightly different from the ones in his own world, but it still rang a few bells in his mind. A startled shout rang through the forest, only a few paces ahead. It sounded like a kid. Twilight picked up the speed and soon broke out of the foliage, into a small clearing. He spotted the bokoblin with its weapon raised a split second before he saw the boy on the ground. Without slowing down, he made a lunge for the bokoblin. He bit down on its arm and hit it with enough force to make it stumble and almost fall down.

He had to use his hind legs to keep himself from falling, which was more difficult than in hylian form. The taste of bokoblin blood made him want to throw up despite not having eaten lunch yet. He kept his composure and swung his head violently to the right, then to the left with twice the amount of force as the first shake. A disgusting tearing sound and scream from the bokoblin made Twilight release its arm. He leapt between the bokoblin and the boy. While it was looking at its arm, grossly hanging by only half of its shoulder, he made another lunge. This time, right for its throat.

The bokoblin was far too slow to respond to the second attack. Still shocked by the first injury, it stumbled backwards and fell much easier. Twilight clamped his jaws around its neck and heard the sickening snap at the same time he felt it between his teeth. The bokoblin twitched and every muscle tensed up before it went limp. A second later, it vanished in a small, harmless explosion of black and red smoke. Twilight turned around to look at the boy. Now that he got a better look at him, he couldn’t help but notice how odd he was.

It wasn’t his round ears, no. Twilight grew up around humans, so that difference meant so little to him that it almost slipped his mind. It was actually his clothes that were odd. A red and white shirt, mostly white with red outlining the end of the sleeves and an oval in the middle of the shirt. It had symbols that were probably letters, but it wasn’t an alphabet Twilight recognized. The pants he wore were a shade of blue and didn’t seem like a familiar fabric. He definitely wasn’t from around here. Aside from that, he seemed pretty normal.

He stared at him with shock in his icy blue eyes, glancing briefly between where the bokoblin was and then back at him. One of his hands was pressed firmly against his side. The smell of blood was uncomfortably familiar to Twilight, although it wasn’t the same as usual. Twilight pushed the last bit aside. There was a bigger problem. The boy slowly sat up and tried taking a few deep breaths to calm himself. At the same time, Twilight took a step closer. Then another. And another.

Since he was in his wolf form, he really didn’t want to scare him anymore than he already had. Much to his surprise, the boy didn’t scramble to get away from him. He only watched. Twilight continued his approach and was prepared to stop at any time if he suddenly recoiled from him, but he didn’t. The boy slowly lifted the hand that wasn’t pressed against his side and began reaching out for him, although he slightly flinched when his hand was halfway between them, ready to pull away at any moment.”You don’t look very mean...” He said with a bit of skepticism.

Twilight was pretty surprised by how calm he was when there was a wolf right in front of him, but he wasn’t going to waste his chance and make him think he was a beast. Especially if he wanted to gain his trust and get him some help, even though he was right to be at least a little hesitant since he was currently in wolf form. Twilight sniffed his hand to get his scent, and as a display of kindness. There was something off about the kid’s smell, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. It was off in a slightly familiar way, but also not familiar enough to immediately recognize. He brushed it off as a human thing since for a very brief moment, he was reminded of his village. The boy cracked a smile.”Hello to you too.” He said.

He very briefly reached out to rub his fur, but before Twilight could pull away, the boy stood up. He brushed himself off with one hand, the other still firmly pressed against his side. A bit of red was seeped into his shirt just below his hand, confirming Twilight’s worries that he was injured.”I’m Danny, by the way.” The boy said. He didn’t seem concerned about the wound, which was pretty odd and worrying in itself. Wolfie glanced between the wound and Danny’s face, making sure he moved his head as he did so in hopes that he’d understand his worry.

He gave him a smile.“Oh. I’m fine. I’ve dealt with this before, I just need to find my bag.” Danny said. He scanned the small clearing from left to right. His smile faltered a little bit.“Should be around here somewhere...” He said. He walked past Twilight, not caring that his back was open to a wolf, and started to search for his bag in the thicker foliage around the clearing. Some of Twilight’s worries were sniffed out hearing that he could handle it, but how calm he was about it was still not exactly comforting. He didn’t look much younger than he was. Definitely a young teenager. Maybe he was taught?

Whatever the case, there was one more thing that Twilight could do to help before returning to his friends. Help him find the lost bag and stay by him until he bandaged it up. Well, two things. He’d be back to the others quickly. Now that he had Danny’s scent, he sniffed the ground and followed it to the left of where Danny was moving bushes and low branches with his one free hand. Twilight turned around one of the trees and used one of his paws to step on part of a bush and push it down.

His nose led him to a purple strap poking out of another nearby bush. Looking at it, it was definitely part of a bag, and it was hopefully Danny’s. He reached forward and bit down gently in the strap. When he pulled to lift it up, he was surprised by the weight it had. It wasn’t much, just more than he was expecting. There was a small tingling sound of something small and metallic moving. He pulled again, and this time, he managed to get the whole thing out. As he backed out of the bush, he could see that the bag was bigger than he thought. It wasn’t oversized or anything, but it was probably big enough to carry on his back. It was close to dragging on the ground, but it still hovered a bit.

Twilight turned back to the kid and saw he was already looking at him and walking closer. Danny turned hearing the sound of whatever was inside move around and seemed to calm down a little seeing his returned bag.“Thank you.” He said. He knelt down and held out his hand as Twilight turned around. He dropped the bag with the strap over Danny’s hand. He caught it and set it down on the ground. Danny grabbed a small metal piece dangling one of the sides.

He pulled it up and the piece of metal traveled with his hand, making something akin to a ripping sound. Danny continued until the metal piece had gone over the top and reached the other side. By that point, the front part of the bag seemed to slack a little and lean forward. Danny reached inside and pulled out a smaller red bag.

This one was rectangular and had a white cross symbol.

He opened that one just like the purple bag and reached inside. After rummaging around, Danny pulled out some kind of small white wipe. He lifted his shirt up to reveal the injury, a cut that was most definitely made by a blade, and started to use the wipe to clean the wound when Twilight heard his friends calling for him.

“Wolfie!! Where’d you go?!” Hyrule called out. Both Danny and Twilight turned their heads toward the sound of the voice. Twilight let out a bark in response. Had he really gone so far ahead that only now they were catching up? Pretty soon, Hyrule ran through out of the forest. He glanced between Wolfie and Danny, immediately noticing the injury. Whatever he’d planned was probably forgotten.”Are you okay?!” He asked. He came closer to have a better look at the wound, but Danny quickly covered it up and pulled his legs up to his chest protectively.

“I’m fine! I got it, thank you!” He said defensively. Hyrule retracted his hand that was previously stretched out. Danny’s reaction was a little unexpected, but not everyone was a fan of strangers, so he shouldn’t be blamed. Danny cleared his throat.”Yeah, I’m good. Thanks to this...” Danny trailed off and turned to Wolfie.”One bark if you’re a boy, two if you’re a girl.” He requested.

How casual he was with a wolf was getting stranger by the minute, especially after seeing how he reacted to Hyrule. Either way, Twilight followed his request and let out a single, quick bark.

Danny nodded and turned back to look up at Hyrule.”Thanks to this guy. I don’t have a clue what that red thing was, but I’ve only seen such an ugly face probably a few other times.” He said. Hyrule seemed as surprised as Twilight originally was, but smiled a bit and glanced at him.

“Nice, Wolfie.” He said. Twilight dipped his head up and down in a nod. Hyrule walked over to him and patted him on the head, which Twilight let him do.

Danny slowly moved his legs and slightly lifted up his shirt to continue cleaning the wound.“Is he your dog or something?” He asked, slowly moving his gaze towards the injury.

Dog?

Twilight and Hyrule both turned to him, thinking the same thing. Or at least, thinking similar thoughts.“He’s a wolf, not a dog, and he’s our friend.” Hyrule corrected. He wasn’t rude about it when he spoke.

Danny’s eyes widened a bit and he glanced up at Twilight, then Hyrule.“Wait, really? I thought he was a husky. You know, with the black and white fur.” He said. He sounded a little surprised, but still wasn’t that scared of him. Mistaking him for a “husky”, which was probably a dog breed, because of his fur was probably one of the main reasons he was so calm. The other could be that he’s just not scared of them unless they attack him, which he hadn’t done, like that guy in Faron Woods back in Twilight’s world.

Just then, Sky and Wind came into the clearing. Danny returned to his defensive position again and placed his free hand on the ground, as if ready to get up and run. Hyrule looked at them.”Everything’s okay now, don’t worry. Wolfie handled it.” He explained. The two glanced at each other, then at Danny, and put their swords away.

They tried approaching Danny, but he stood up and grabbed his bags. He took a few steps back from them.”Okay, this is getting ridiculous. How many of you are there?” He asked.

“Nine in total, but that’s not important. Are you alright? We have healing potions if you want that for your injury.” Sky replied.

“Uhh, what? Healing potions??” Danny questioned. He shook his head.”No, I’m fine. But I’d appreciate it if I could patch this up in peace.” He said, backing up a little more.

Sky reached into his bag to offer one anyways, but then the master sword flashed a blue and purple light and made him stop in his tracks. He turned to the master sword.”What?” He asked. It flashed again. He always claimed to hear a voice from the master sword, so Wind, Hyrule, and Twilight kept quiet to let him listen. Sky’s eyes widened when the flashing stopped and he looked over at Danny, who was now at the edge of the clearing and digging through the red bag.“Did you fall through a portal?” He asked.

The three of them glanced over at Danny, who briefly paused while pulling something out. Then he continued.”Yeah. It was purple. Opened up from right under me, and before I knew it, I fell right next to whatever that red thing was.” He replied. Seeing him attach a needle and string then reach for his injury with it made them realize he was stitching the cut. He lifted the bit of his shirt in his other hand and bit down on it so he could use both hands.

“We have... experience with the portals. We can help you find a way back home if you go with us.” Sky said. Hyrule, Wind, and Twilight were surprised by this. Danny kept his gaze on the cut and didn’t respond. They waited patiently for him to be finished. He let the shirt fall and put the needle away, then pulled out a roll of bandages. Once again, he used his mouth to hold his shirt up and wrapped the bandages around himself. Already, red was seeping into the white material.

He waited until he finished wrapping the bandages and tied the end to let go of his shirt and speak.”Alright, but if any of you try anything, I’m out.” Danny said. He put the roll back into his bag and closed it, then placed it back in the purple bag.

That was understandable. As much as Twilight wanted him to believe them, it wasn’t exactly safe to trust strangers. Wind began walking over to him, but kept his distance since the possible-new-addition was already on edge.”I don’t think you have to worry about us doing something. Most of us aren’t in our own world right now, and we’re kind of hopping between timelines, so what’s another world to visit?” He asked. Danny swung the bag behind him and slipped his opposite arm through the other strap, letting the bag settle on both his shoulders.

“You make a fair point, but I’m still not going to trust everything everyone says right away.” He said. Wind gave him a slight nod. They weren’t exactly fully trusting him immediately either.”Being back home sounds nice, though.” He added under his breath. Twilight walked over to them. At first, Wind looked as if he was going to warn him not to come too close, but Danny glanced at him, then back and the rest of the group.”You said there were nine of you, right? Anything I should know?” He asked.

“Warriors is kind of a jerk, and so is Legend sometimes. Hyrule’s our healer, Wild tries to eat the wildest things, Twilight is our animal whisperer,” As Wind continued, Hyrule looked at Sky. Twilight, with his good hearing, picked up on what was said accidentally.

“You sure this will go well?” He asked.

Sky shrugged.“Fi said that something about him suggested that he wasn’t from this world, and that he might have something similar to the Hero’s Spirit. I’m more worried about the portal bit, though. I can just tell the others that, and the fact that he knows how to stitch up wounds will probably prevent Warriors from being too much of a jerk if that’s what you mean.” He explained.

The both of them turned to head back to the rest of the group, prompting Wind and Twilight to do the same. Danny followed their lead.”And monsters?” Hyrule asked.

“We’ll protect him, and probably teach him to use a sword.” Sky said.
