HEYYYY! Breath of the Wild is out and I have been playing it like crazy! SO I decided to pair my OC up with my new favorite character. The moment I was introduced to Revali's character, I fell pretty hard. I'm writing this as I go, so I may rely on you guys to give me some ideas for new chapters as I go. So without further ado!
LADIES AND GENTLEDUDES! I NOW PRESENT...
A Lot Will Change After 100 Years
Chapter 1 - Waiting
In a small apartment, originally housing two, a young-looking girl lay sprawled out on the couch staring up at the ceiling. Strands of her long white hair covered her face, while the rest draped over her shoulders and chest. The apartment felt so empty without her friend there to liven up the place. After their last adventure had come to an abrupt halt, her closest friend, Jayne decided to stay with a new love interest. The girl, Serina, was happy for her but lonely nonetheless. Someone had to keep home in order, but after coming back from Hyrule, it didn't really feel like home anymore. Not after losing many wonderful friends in that terrible battle.
All Serina could do was wait, wait for the right time to go back, wait for the hero to reawaken. Then she could go back, but even if she did go back, it would still hurt. She missed everyone, everyone that she had met 100 years ago met with a tragic fate. Everyone but her and Jayne, and Jayne was with someone helping them grieve for their loss.
Hyrule's Champions were all wonderful people, and they kindly helped Link, Zelda, Serina and Jayne. Serina became close with all of them, but a majority of her attention was drawn to one in particular. He both annoyed and fascinated her, he was arrogant and stubborn, but Serina's well-being seemed to be something he looked after.
Serina's mind drifted off to the day she met him.
Flashback
It was a sunny, but rather windy day in the Rito Village. The new champion was being introduced to everyone, but Serina had decided to skip introductions and wander about the village. At the time there wasn't any big hurry, as the group was going to stay in the village overnight.
Serina stumbled upon Revali's Landing, awestruck by the view. She walked onto the platform, up to the edge where she scanned the horizon. The harsh breeze whipped through her hair, causing her to shiver a bit.
Back with the group, the other champions, Link, Zelda and Jayne had been shown to where they will be sleeping for the night.
"Where'd the other little human go?" Daruk looked over to Jayne.
"I think she's checking out the village, you should know how she is by now, not much of a people person." Jayne replied.
"Well, whoever isn't going to sleep anytime soon should just keep an eye out for her," Zelda said.
"I can do that, Your Highness." Revali, bowed his head.
Zelda nodded in response, and began going over the next part of the plan with everyone.
The sun started to go down, and a colorful sunset came into view. Revali began wandering the village, keeping a watchful eye out for another human girl. Once he came up to the landing he caught a glimpse of her bright white hair gleaming in the fading sunlight.
He smirked to himself and approached her from behind.
"Enjoying the view?" His smooth voice sounded behind her, making her jump.
She looked to her right and saw the Rito standing next to her now. Her grey eyes met with his bright green ones.
"My apologies, I didn't mean to scare you." His voice softened, "I was given the impression you wander around often."
Serina nodded returning her gaze over to the horizon, "If given the opportunity."
"You are with the others, correct?" He asked.
She nodded again.
"Then, I do believe an introduction would be necessary. I am Revali, Master archer, and Rito Champion." He bowed slightly and held his hand out to her.
She smiled at the gesture, boosting his ego, "I'm Serina, nothing much to it, just Serina."
Revali smirked and held onto her hand, placing a gentle kiss on it before letting her pull it away.
"I'm sure there's more to you than meets the eye, lady Serina. You must have some skill if you are a part of a movement this special." He said, then noticing the bow on her back, "Why don't you show me what you can do with that bow of yours?"
"Is this some sort of test to gain your approval?" she asked as she followed him to the Flight Range.
He smirked again, "It could be, or I could simply want to see if you think you could be better than me."
"Oh, but I could think I'm better than nobody and just use a bow as my weapon of choice." Serina replied.
They arrived at the Flight Range, where the updraft was unbearably cold. Revali turned to face her and pointed at the targets.
"Why don't you show me what you've got?" He smiled and stepped aside, so she could approach the edge of the platform.
"You brought me out here because you think I could be some type of competition haven't you?" She asked.
Revali merely laughed and waited for her to start shooting. So she complied and notched an arrow onto the string and drew it back, taking aim at one of the lower targets first. He eyes her as she didn't need to aim for too long and already released the arrow, hitting the target dead in the center.
Serina drew back another arrow and aimed at a higher up target, also hitting it dead in the center. She did this with about three other targets, and she could feel Revali's strong gaze behind her.
"I'm impressed," he walked up to her, "One thing I did notice, though, is your arm supporting the bow."
"What about it?" she eyed him curiously.
"Would you mind aiming at another target for me? Don't shoot, just aim." He instructed.
Serina did as he said, and he came up and eyed her form and stance.
"May I?" he asked, pointing at her left arm holding the bow.
She nodded and let him adjust her arm and position it differently. Surprisingly, it felt a lot more comfortable for her to aim.
"Your arm was bending inwards slightly, which can sometimes cause the string to brush up against it. Often that can result in a nasty bruise the next morning." He held her left arm in the position he wanted it, allowing her to aim at another target, "Now release."
She let the arrow fly into the center of the target, and the shooting was a great deal easier.
"Better, right?" he smirked.
Serina nodded, and then shivered due to the cold breeze. Revali chuckled.
"Let's get you back to the village, tomorrow, I want to see how you are with a moving target." He smiled.
End flashback
A loud knock on the door brought Serina back to her senses. She jumped up off of the couch and cautiously went up to the door. Looking through the eye-hole on the door, she was shocked with who she saw.
"Link?"
