AN: This is what kinda inspired me to include Ravio and Hilda in my fanfiction, The Legend of the Timber Wolf Scroll. I always wondered how the characters in A Link Between Worlds felt after all the chaos. How did affect them when they became teenagers?
-This is obviously told from Ravio's POV, post ALBW and pre-Timber Wold Scroll
I hope you enjoy!
After I came home again, I never gave it a second though for a long time, two years in fact. I'd done what I set out to do, and I got pretty rich in the process. I had I gotten everything I wanted, even more. Man, I got recognition like I've never seen for being such a hero. Was I really that big of a deal though? Never, did I ever question that because it wasn't really me. It was Link, and even Zelda, who saved our land.
Man, what a place Hyrule is... to think, I saw one part of it.
I've always felt tiny, like speck in this great, big world ours. This world turned out to be even bigger than any of us ever imagined, and I got to see a small piece of it. The wonderful place of Link's sure did get my attention and didn't even know it.
Well, you could say not having or needing a job makes you think. Boy, did I have some time on my hands. I used to be an apprentice to the Blacksmith, but that never really did work out. I never was that good at it, but I wanted to be. So, I tried to be patient with myself. Unfortunately, my time of skill never came. That's why I looked towards something that I was good at. That turned out to be negotiating, so I became a merchant. When I sold my wares to Link, I no longer needed to work and I was living easy.
Living easy is kinda a challenge in itself, but it's more mental than anything. Believe me, I never thought I'd ever say something that I would've called down-right ridiculous about three years ago: easy living isn't all that great. I guess I just got bored, and then Hyrule crossed my mind one day. I remembered that enormous white castle, those lush fields, and all the awesome, nice people I met. I got thinking, was there more to see?
I went to pretty much every library in Lorule, including the Royal Library. My search for answers came up pretty much empty; nothing more than I already knew. I was ready to give up, then it struck me. The triforce, could I use it to find my answers? It makes me wonder...
