They knew what they had to do, and even when you said it, the quest still sounded impossible. How was a group of pirates and a boy in green going to find a new continent and populate it under the name of "New Hyrule?"
"It's been quite some time after the defeat of Ganondorf, peace has returned to the great sea. With their mission, Tetra, Link, and the crew of pirates set off to find a new place to call home. First setting off almost nine years ago to find the new land, they have since been unsuccessful in their journey. Although, the crew's Beloved Helmsman, Senza, has never lost hope that the new land would be-"
"SENZA!" Tetra yelled out, more than tired of hearing the same story all the time. He was by far the best story teller of the pirated, but she was getting tired of hearing the same story time and time again.
Senza looked down at the ground with disappointment and quietly said. "Sorry, Miss Tetra…"
Tetra returned to wandering around the ship, leaving Senza to tend to his duties. She shivered as the cold air wind passed through the ship and quickly walked back to her quarters.
"Damn cold… can't it just get warmer already?" She muttered as she found a jacket and hastily put it on. She hated the cold and with the autumn season just passing, she knew it could only get colder.
The only thing that made the winter better was that Link was around to suffer with her, but since he joined the crew after defeating ganon, he made a couple changes to the usually schedule, most importantly the holidays.
Ever since he hopped on board, Link had always made the ship celebrate the holidays, even if Tetra couldn't care less about the majority of them.
The most important of the holidays to Link was Christmas, and after a couple of celebrations, many of the pirates found to like it as well. It gave them another reason to drink more than usual and they were fine about that.
Despite going out for nine years to find a new land, Tetra, Link, and the pirates made it important to head back to the common waters of the Great sea to ever once and a while. It didn't allow them to get far on the journey, but none of them minded that.
A knocking came on Tetra's door as she sat back down, eyeing the door to see who it was. "Door's open." She said simply, relaxing herself in the chair behind the desk that was in the center of the room. If the room as designed differently, then she might have had the desk further back, but she was making do with what she had.
The door opened slowly with link being at the other side. His body was shivering as his arms were crossed across his chest. Tetra's expression changed slightly as she noticed that it was link, and not one of the others. "Yeah, yeah. I know its cold; now quit your bitching Link."
He grunted lightly at the remark, and although she was right about the cold, it wasn't the reason he wanted to talk to her. "That wasn't why I came in here Tetra, but you are right. It has been colder than other years out in these waters."
"Yeah, tell my something I don't know. Now that do you want?" She went back to her original, unimpressed expression that she had on before link entered the room. If that wasn't what he was here to talk about, then there was only one other thing, and she's been expecting him to ask it like he has every year this time around.
Although slightly angered by the remark, Link hadn't made the effort to speak out against her because he knew well that she was just as good as he was when it came to fighting. He took a step forward and looked right at Tetra with serious eyes, then suddenly changing to pleading eyes as he fell to his knees.
"Why haven't you gotten my something for Christmas?" He whined out, which wasn't all that different than the normal link that the crew had come to know and love over the past couple years. Tetra smirked at his plead, but she had reasons for not getting him anything yet.
Tetra put her legs up and rested them up on the desk as she continued to smirk at Link. "Because you're the only one on this ship that'll just give away the beer that he got for Christmas, why else?" She had more of a reason than that, but that was the only reason that she'd give to him.
"I get you stuff every year and not even once I've been thanked for the gifts that get you. At least Zuko thanks me for the stuff I get him." He grumbled, angered that her mind was set on not giving her an actual gift.
Tetra picked up her feet once more and put them back onto the ground as she was remembered by something. She put on another smirk as the stood up and walked up to link slowly. "Thanks for reminding me, Link. You have the night shift as look out for the next couple days."
Link couldn't believe that he was being assigned more work to do. This month alone, he's done all of the laundry by himself, had to clean the deck constantly, and was forced to be navigator, despite the fact that none of them had ever been in the strange waters before. He only grunted as he walked out of the captain's quarters and back into the cold.
Tetra smiled to herself as she looked down on to her desk. All this time with him living on the ship with them, she'd been trying to find the perfect gift for him whenever they came across the shop ship or to the market at Windfall, and this time she had the one gift to rule them all.
