"Thank you, Princess Zelda… And you too, hero of Hyrule, Link!" A young girl with long, purple hair looked up at the three golden triangles forming an upside-down larger triangle, "Gracious… What are we to do with this sudden power now, Ravio?" She looked towards the purple-haired boy next to her. He just laughed and shook his head.
"I have no clue except one… Perhaps we should ask it to grant a wish for us." He hummed, putting on his rabbit mask as he thought, "Any ideas for a good wish, your highness?"
"Hm… perhaps… we should wish for a way to get to and from Hyrule with ease, so that the Princess and Link can visit us whenever they so please." The princess nodded at this idea, and Ravio seemed to agree. Without any more words spoken, they approached the Lorulian Triforce, the two of them touching the upside-down triangle while thinking of their wish. As the Triforce processed their wish, it started ascending upwards, Ravio seemed almost frightened that their Triforce is too different, and would cause a large problem instead of the happy wish they asked for. Soon, a strange sound came from behind them. The two turned around, and there was a strange, large Jackalope, with its fur half golden on its left side and half deep royal purple on its right. Its left horn was almost pure white, while its right was almost pitch black. It had a blush on it, or at least it looked like it, with white fur that made large ovals on both its cheeks. The large creature looked down towards Ravio and Hilda, sniffing them lightly before laying on its stomach so that the two could board its back. "You two must be Ravio and Princess Hilda, correct? I have heard much about you two. You have said you wished to have transportation between this world and Hyrule, correct? Well, whenever you wish to be transported to Hyrule or back here, just hop onto my back." Its voice was strange, both deep and almost menacing, but also high-pitched and innocent, almost as if two people were speaking at once. Ravio and Hilda looked at each other in worry, frowning slightly. "I hope this doesn't horribly backfire..." Ravio carefully climbed aboard, but found that Hilda, did not. Something was wrong. He could feel it. Something was wrong with the princess. As if on cue, she smirked widely, looking at the strange Jackalope. She turned and flicked her finger, telling the creature to go to Hyrule. It stood up, its once soft and fluffy fur spiking into points, effectively trapping Ravio in his spot. "Wh-what are you doing, Princess Hilda?!" He yelped, he was going to move but he was poked by one of the spikes, "Princess, please-"
"Serven. Send him to Hyrule. I have things I must do." She spoke, interrupting Ravio. He whimpered fearfully as the rabbit nodded, muttering a soft 'yes princess' before jumping upward, and through a portal. The poor guy had to hold on tight as Serven hopped through the portal, and also avoid the spikes he was trapped in. The instant he landed, he was thrown off. "The princess wants you to search out for Link, and convince him and his princess to bring her the Triforce. Oh, and one more thing. I'm sure you'll be wanting this..." In his spikes, there was Ravio's hood, and caught by the feathers of his wing was Sheerow, chirping loudly in fright. "SHEEROW!" Ravio yelped in surprise, not caring too much about his hood, but definitely caring about his pet bird, "Let Sheerow go!"
"No can do, Ravio. The princess had very specific orders to hold onto your little bird. I must follow them, after all, what else am I to do? Now go and find Link, and only then will I release your pet bird." The rabbit laid down, shrinking down in size, "I will follow you, but only in a form that does not look suspicious. After all, we don't want our 'Mr. Hero' to be attacking me and you having no way back to Lorule." He smirked widely, Sheerow was now in his mouth, trapped inside and chirping loudly and fearfully. Ravio whimpered for his poor pet bird, picking the Jackalope up and sighing. "Fine... I want my hood back though." He snatched the hood from Serven, putting it back on with ease. He then started the trek to Link's house. He wondered if he had re-organized his house yet, or if he even still lived there... He shook his head and sighed, continuing walking. No monsters, at least, not yet, so that was a plus for him. He didn't want to learn how to fight. He managed to find Link's house... Wait... He didn't take down the sign? He almost smiled from that, but a kick in his stomach reminded him that he had duties to do, or Sheerow will pay the price.
Inside Link's house, the boy looked at the old shop that Ravio had left behind. There was a small bag that contained the little bunny-toppers for all of his items... Well, maybe just this once won't hurt. He grabbed the bag, and stuck the bunny-toppers on them, finding out that it was suction cups that were on them, and that they were magical for the bombs so whenever he pulled one out, one would magically appear on the bomb. Hah, he always remembered how whenever he fell in battle, Sheerow would take his items, and then bring him back to the house. Ravio probably patched up all of his wounds before, and made sure he was safe before letting him rest... He missed Ravio. He missed getting patched up and finding his arm in a cast and Ravio telling him to stay here for a while so his arm can heal because he broke a bone. He missed Sheerow tweeting and taking back the borrowed items. He sighed and sat on his bed, which he had managed to pull out from the side and fix up in the middle of the room, keeping the tables. Hey, maybe he could become a merchant! But not right now. He needed sleep... Before he could lay down in bed, there was a knock on the door. He sighed lightly. "It's open!" He shouted aloud, as a shuffle was heard, something small being placed and a small tweet. Wait, was that Sheerow's tweet? It couldn't have been.
Ravio whined lightly as Sheerow tweeted and chirped loudly, trying to free himself from the Jackalope's mouth. "Re-relax, Sheerow... Don't worry, I'll get you free as soon as possible, okay? S-Serven j-just stay here... Mostly because he doesn't trust anything unless it's human and doesn't attack him right off the bat or seem menacing and your deep voice sounds menacing so... I-it's better safe than sorry." He whimpered, opening the door carefully and seeing Link on his bed, in the middle of the room, and nothing else moved. He wasn't looking at the door, or seeing who came in, he was staring down his boomerang... wait, what was one of his markers doing on it? Did he put that there? He almost felt a little twinge in his heart, but he had to do what he was told, and he knows that damn rabbit was listening. Maybe he could whisper... Yeah. "...Hey, Mr. Hero." He chuckled lightly, which definitely caught Link out of his haze to look at Ravio with a surprised expression, "Good to see ya again!" He wasn't able to continue before he found himself being hugged tightly by Link. He wasn't sure what to think at that moment, other than to slowly pat Link's back. "Uh, hey, Mr. Hero, I didn't really think you were the clingy-type... But hey, I mean, whatever suits you, buddy." The hero laughed a little, letting Ravio go.
"Sorry, Ravio. I just ended up missing you a whole lot." He smiled a little, and Ravio definitely understood. He then remembered that that little monster is still holding his Sheerow captive. A very loud, hoarse chirp echoed from outside, and he squealed in panic. "Oh no-oh no oh no." He whined a little, "You-You gotta listen to me, okay? Hilda turned again and wants the power of the Triforce and forced me to come to you and convince you and Zelda to hand over the Triforce."
"What?" Link growled and took out his sword, moving Ravio out of the way and kicking his door open. This motion knocked over the Jackalope, who spat out Sheerow while he tried to get back up.
"Oh, Sheerow! I'm so glad you're okay!" Ravio walked out and held his pet bird close, then glared at the Jackalope through his hood.
"You. Ravio's giving you a nasty look, so I'll assume that you're a nasty little monster." He pointed the sword at the Jackalope, who got up and looked as innocent as possible.
"You don't understand-The princess forced me to take you here and to do all that mean stuff! I had to listen, otherwise..." He shuttered in horror. Ravio bought the story, losing his glare and patting the Jackalope on the head.
"H-hey, don't be sad... I didn't know that. I mean, if you're bein forced by the Princess, then ya must be on our side or on a neutral standpoint." He smiled a little, "Just don't snatch away Sheerow again, he's one of those birds that could die of fright... I don't want that happening to the poor guy."
"Cross my heart and hope to die, I promise not to do that again." He made a gesture with his paw, pouting slightly.
"Well, you gotta believe that little gesture, bud." He chuckled a little and looked at Link. He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if expecting that the creature is lying.
"Say... what do you call yourself? We should be on a name basis, after all. And I don't want to be constantly referring you as 'bunny'." Link asked lightly, looking to Ravio and smirking, "Though, Ravio tends to call me bud or 'Mr. Hero'. What is with that anyway? Why did you refer to me as Mr. Hero?"
"Well... I guess 'cause you look like a hero to me? I dunno. It was the first thing that came to mind when I saw you trying to save that girl." He shrugged a bit, and then laughed.
"Ey. I'm still here you two." The Jackalope glared slightly at the two, "My name is Serven."
"...I see. Well, I doubt we'll get much with the Princess, plus I'm not too entirely sure where our Triforce even is. it could've scattered or hid up far beyond our capable reach." Link made a motion with his hand, as a way to get them to follow him. As he, along with Ravio and the small Jackalope following, it was... a strange sight, to say the least. The hero of Hyrule and Lorule, along with a strange boy about his age wearing a merchant's robe and a hood that completely covered his face, and a yellow-and-purple rabbit with little, tiny, devil-like horns.
