Chapter 3: New purpose

"Master Link…?"

Paya spent all her life taking care of her family's most precious item. Impa mentioned how it has remained in Kakariko Village for many generations.

"It's an item looked after by former leaders of this village. One should show more respect for something so precious."

Paya's heart was broken when this went missing. He had to return it, he couldn't just use this without their permission. Afterall, this was their village's legacy. Before he could pick up, he remembered…

"I...I've spent many nights studying the heirloom's history. I-I believe that I've figured out it's purpose just a few nights ago. I was excited t-to tell you, until I realized the heirloom was missing. Master Link, I believe that the heirloom's purpose had something to do with you."

Would sh...they approve of what he was thinking? He knows how much value this holds, not just for him but them as well.

"Master Link, Paya told you that the heirloom's destiny is tied to you."

Link stood up and faced Dorian, nodding to conform to Dorian's assumption. "We weren't able to make it work, but Paya thinks that you can." That's right, there was a very dedicated resident of the village right in front of him. He must know what he's thinking. He has been one of the village's protectors for years and should understand the villagers' feelings more than he does.

'Should I at least wait to ask their permission?' Link thought, as he remained conflicted.

"Paya...and all of us are devoted to helping you in your quest. It's only right that you complete the heirloom's destiny."


"To you who set foot in this shrine...I am Lakna Rokee. By entering this place, you've already proven your worth."


It was 5:00 A.M Paya always woke up at this time. Despite having a relatively busy life in Kakariko village, her Grandmother and the guards made sure she got an acceptable amount of sleep every night. Though no matter how early or late she slept, Paya always seemed to wake up at this time.

Like every other morning, she started her daily routine by freshening up in the bathroom. After exiting the bathroom, she got dressed in her usual outfit. She then went in front of her mirror and brush her hair. Finally she was able to do what she'd wanted to do since last night, which was to reapply her face paint.

Before the red paint on her fingers could reach her face, she remembered the events of last night.

'I wonder, did Master Link find the culprit last night?' She wondered. As she began the process of applying her face paint, she let her thoughts wander towards last night's events. It really was an eventful night.

Despite the many events that transpired that night, her mind could only wonder back to her family's most sacred item. She was really excited to give Master Link the news of the heirlooms' long-awaited purpose. She was not afraid to admit that it was quite a bit of work to translate many old works of the ancient Sheikah. But of course, just when she discovered the heirloom's true purpose and Master Link just so happened to be in the village, the heirloom was taken from them.

Paya still partially blamed herself for not being more vigilant with her duty.

That fact of the heirloom being taken alone made her heart break, but coupled with the fact that she failed her duty only made her feel as if she let her ancestors down. Although, she was very grateful to Master Link for reassuring her. It definitely made her feel better...but she still wished that the heirloom could have been useful to Master Link instead of being a chore for him.

'I hope you're not too bitter over something that's taking up so much of your valuable time.'

After she finished reapplying her face paint, Paya made her way down the hall, outside of her bedroom. On the way towards the stairs, she noticed her Grandmother about them. As usual, Paya quickly made her way towards her Grandmother.

After Paya made her way, Impa let out a small laugh. Just as Paya reached her, Impa poked Paya's stomach to stop her. Paya let out a small eep as she stepped back. "How many times do I need to tell you, you shouldn't underestimate your elders?"

Paya lightly blushed and held her hands together from her question. 'Every morning...for the past 4 years…' Paya slightly bowed with a blush still on her cheeks. "I'm sorry, Grandmother."

Impa held her elbow for Paya to hold. "Heh heh. Don't worry, I know it's from the kindness of your heart." Looking at her, Paya smiled and gladly held her Grandmother's arm.

'Although, I do wish you would worry less. One minute an elder slips on some mud and all of sudden you make it your life's mission to look after every resident in Kakariko.'

After helping her Grandmother down the steps, Paya couldn't help but shift her attention to the spot where the heirloom was.

After a few moments, Paya felt a tug on her arm. "Paya, let's get started on breakfast." Nodding, Paya followed her Grandmother into the kitchen.

After breakfast, Paya went ahead and started her usual chores, starting with cleaning the spot where the heirloom was previously. She knew it was pointless to clean this spot since it was gone but she still felt like she should clean it for the slight chance it does come back. However, there was the fact that it would be permanently gone once Master Link inevitably uses it.

That thought didn't bother her at all since it would be valuable to Master Link's quest. After discovering the heirloom's purpose, Paya didn't think about the consequences that would come with using the heirloom, it wasn't because she didn't want to look after the heirloom but instead because she was too excited about telling Master Link.

She was brought out of her thoughts when she heard the front door open. Standing up, she was happy to see that it was Master Link.

Did he just get back? Was he up all night? Did he find the culprit? Was he hungry?

Before she could ask her questions, Link walked up to Impa. "I found the heirloom." He said.

Paya was the first to light up when she heard that, she was so happy to know that it was safe now that it was found, by Master Link no less.

Impa slightly smiled. "I see, since it's not with you, I assume that you've already used it."

"...Yes"

Turning back to Paya, Impa grinned at the face Paya was making. "I suppose it's safe to assume that your theory was correct after all."

She...was right, there were many attempts to use the heirloom but none of them were successful. She was starting to think that she was wrong, at least until she realized that it was only meant for the hero, Master Link.

"Thank you for your efforts Link, we apologize for putting you through so much trouble." Impa said.

However, to their surprise, Link got on his hands and knees and put his forehead on the floor. "You shouldn't apologize. If anything, I'm sorry for using your heirloom without your permission."

They were both taken aback by his action, however Impa could understand her old friends actions. It would be natural for Link to feel somewhat guilty for his actions, afterall, to him at least, they had every right to be upset. She was still slightly surprised that he was so willing to take responsibility for this, even after losing his memories. Paya on the other hand was completely surprised to see the hero-no Master Link would put head so low.

"N-no, Master Link, you don't need to apologize! We knew that heirloom's destiny was tied with yours! You shouldn't feel guilty over something that was meant for you in the first place!" Paya spoke up, trying not to jumble over her own words.

Link still had his forehead on the ground. "I know it's pointless to feel guilty over this, but I feel still like I should have asked your permission before losing your most precious item."

"As you said, it's pointless to apologize and besides Paya's right, the heirloom's purpose was always tied to you the whole time. Whatever you chose to do was your choice to make." Impa chimed in.

"I'm just glad that the heirloom purpose has been fulfilled, after so long." Paya said in a low voice, just loud enough for Link to hear.

Link then stood back up. "I should at least try to do something to make it up to you." Link said as he raised head.

"There's no need. Link, I heard about all the help you did for most of the villagers. So please don't fret. Now, more importantly, I want to ask you, how are your adventures through all of Hyrule?"

"...Fine. Actually, I originally came here to tell you that I freed Vah Rudania."

'You hesitated.'

"I see, well if you continue in the path you've laid out, then your next destination would either be Rito Village, in the Tabantha Region and save Vah Medoh. Or you could head west from here and travel to the Gerudo Desert. It is closer but the Yiga Clan are far more active there than any other corner of Hyrule. It would be too dangerous if you're unprepared."

Impa then explained how the Yiga clan hideout was never discovered 100 years ago. Although, she hypothesized that it might be somewhere north of Gerudo Town since they got more aggressive the further you traveled to the Gerudo Highlands.

Link then pulled out the map in his Sheikah slate. "I see...I think I'll go ahead and get the tower next to the Eldin Region."

"Very well, then you'll need some clothing to help you withstand the harsh coldness of the Hebra Region and the Gerudo Highlands."

"Alright, then I'll be going now." Link got up and proceeded to walk towards the door. Reaching the door, Link turned his head and waved his hand. "I'll see you when I free Vah Medoh." Link said with a confident smile.

"W-wait! you...you're leaving now?" Paya asked nervously. Link looked at her with a questioning look. "Yea...I mean I gotta go and save Hyrule as soon as I can." Link said in a low voice while looking down.

Impa was quiet for a moment before speaking. "I would have to agree with Paya, you must be exhausted, from what I assume, being up all night, looking for the heirloom."

Link started to wave his hands, trying to deny their worries. "Oh no, I'll be fine. I could always rest-"

"No no I insist, your quest for Hyrule is important but taking of yourself is just as important."

"Well I can always rest at a stable on the way…"

Impa gave him a stern glare that only made Link freeze. "You should rest at the Inn nearby. Afterall, we wouldn't want 'that' to happen again now, do we?"

'...'that'...I don't even wanna know what she means.' It was probably something that happened that he can't remember. "I guess one more night...isn't too much trouble." Link said, in an uncertain tone.

Impa's demeanor changed back to normal from hearing that. "I'm glad to hear that. You deserve a nice rest after all your hard work." Impa said with a bright smile.

'Jeez/Oh my, she/Grandmother can be really scary when she's serious.' Paya and Link thought simultaneously. opening the door again, Link finally left for a short rest. "I'll see you guys later." Link said before closing the door behind him.

Not long after reaching half way down the stairs, Link heard the doors reopen. "O-oh, Master Link!" looking back. Link saw Paya standing on top of the stairs, Paya then held both her hands on her chest, embarrassed by his curious gaze. "B-before you leave the Village…" she said in a nervous tone. However her nervous demeanor quickly changed when she smiled. "I'll have a big meal packed for you, for your travels!" Paya said with her face mostly red.

'Phew, I got to say it!' she thought.

She was too preoccupied with her achievement to notice that Link's eyes sparkled and his mouth began to water. "R-really! I'll be looking forward to it!" Link said very excitedly. As Link walked down, he looked back and waved goodbye with a happy smile. "I can't wait for it, I'll see tomorrow!" Link said, excitedly.

Paya looked at him, running towards the Inn. She giggled at his somewhat childish nature when it came to food.


As Link finally reached the Inn, he thought about what he should do while he stayed in Kakariko for one more night. 'I should at least get some training done while I'm here.' There's a great spot in front of the Goddess statue. He could even try training with Impa's guards.

"Zzzzz... ...Oh, a customer! 'You scared me half to death.' what kind of bed would you like?" The Innkeeper asked.

Link considered his options, a soft bed is double the price but he's heard a lot about how good people have felt after just one night. "A soft bed for the night." Link requested.

"Very well, just follow me to your bed." He then led Link to an empty bed, it was just under a small window. "You can go ahead and spend your day here or you can come back later, where your bed will be waiting for you." The Innkeeper then left, leaving Link to lie down on his bed.

'Oh wow, this bed really is soft!' Link thought, really surprised. He then started to plan out what he'll do. Firstly, he had to get breakfast, he hadn't eaten in so long and it was almost 9:00! He could use the cooking pot next to the shop. Afterwards, he..he…

'...I...I...Zzzz...Zzz'


The next Morning:

The residents of Kakariko were all in complete awe at what they were witnessing. This whole morning had been crazy from the beginning. First, the Innkeeper and the other guest at the Inn, nearly had heart attacks when they heard someone loudly exclaim, "IT'S MORNING!" Afterwards, the Innkeeper checked to see Master Link with a dreaded look on his face.

After a few minutes of processing that it was morning again, Master Link immediately rushed outside to the closest cooking pot. He then started to cook breakfast. With one thing leading to another, they were all watching the legendary hero stuff his face with an unbelievable amount of food by side. He also had Cado carrying dirty dishes away and Dorian struggling to keep up with making more food for Link.

"It's been 20 minutes of non-stop eating." one of the villagers said.

"That's more food than I've seen a Goron eat." another villager chimed in.

"Is he gonna be okay?" a villager asked with genuine concern.

"Where is he getting all that food from?" another villager asked.

After another 10 minutes of eating, both guards collapsed from exhaustion and Link was finally full.

Link laid back, patting his stomach. "Oh man, that was really good." Link then noticed two exhausted guards next to him. "Oh hey when did you guys get here? And why are you on the ground?"

"You just noticed them!? They've been feeding you this whole time!" all the onlookers yelled in unison.

"Huh, when did you all get here?" Link asked with his head tilted.

"You just noticed!?"


After finally eating breakfast, Link used the Sheikah slate to change back to his usual outfit, which was a pair of Hylian trousers, his Champion tunic and Hylian hood. After that, he made his way back towards Impa's place, where he saw both Paya and Impa waiting for him. Although his attention was immediately caught by what Paya was holding.

Impa walked towards Link. "Link, I hope you've enjoyed your stay. As thanks we would-"

Link only walked past her and received the gift from Paya. "Thank you so much! I promise it won't go to waste." Link said as Paya nervously handed him a large bento box. "I-I'm glad to hear that."

Impa then smacked Link on top of his head. "Hey, don't just walk past your elders, especially if they're talking to you!" Paya only watched as Link was on his knees apologizing to her Grandmother, while she was scolding Link for his rude behavior. "I swear, your gluttony never ceases to amaze me. Anyway, we have Trissa bringing you some extra supplies to aid you when you arrive in the Hebra Region."

"I will also be giving you some warmer blankets if the stables run out. As well as a pair of special boots to help through the snowy terrain. Just wait here and I'll get them" Impa said before leaving to get the items. "Okay, thank you."

As soon as she left, both Link and Paya were left alone...in an awkward silence.

"..."

"...M-Master Link, I just want to thank you once again for all your help." Paya said. Link looked at her with a neutral expression. "It was no problem and if there's anything else you need, just ask." Link said, with a small smile.

Paya looked down nervously and held her hands on her chest. "O-oh well...actually, if it's not too much trouble, I would love to hear about your adventures throughout Hyrule someday. As you know, I did go to quite a few places a while ago but only to a few concealed locations that I'm not even sure how I got there. Because of that, my knowledge outside of Kakariko is quite limited, s-so I would love to hear of the places you went to." Paya explained, somewhat nervously. 'Phew, I managed to say it.'

Unknown to either of them, there was someone who just so happened to arrive and unintentionally overhear their conversation.

As Paya finished her explanation, she looked up to look at Link. She saw that he still had a smile on his face, however, despite him showing little emotion and remaining very stoic, she could see a small glint in his eyes...one that looked very sad. "Yea, no problem." That's all he said.

That look, it didn't match that smile at all. It seemed so fake and forced.

"M-master Link...if somethings bothering you...y-you know I could always help...in some way…" Link was somewhat surprised that she said out of nowhere. Although, for some reason, a part of him was relieved to hear that. "I'm glad to hear that but there's nothing to worry about…" Link then looked to his side and rubbed the back of his neck. "Although, I gotta admit, this whole traveling around thing...can get a little lonely at times."

"...It doesn't have to be...I mean...y-you get to meet all kinds of people in your travels…"

"Yea, I do...but it's not that simple…" Link then looked away while rubbing the back of his neck. "Really, I'm actually a little jealous of you…huh are you okay?" Before Link could continue, he was immediately concerned when he noticed that Paya...was rather...surprised.

Paya was absolutely shocked to hear that Master Link, the hero, the legend, the man who was said to take out an army of monsters in seconds, was envious of her! She had physically taken a step back, while staring at Link with the most shocked face he'd ever seen. Master Link, actually admitted to be envious of her, How!? When!? Why!?

has stopped working.

'I think I broke her…' Link thought as he saw Paya trying to process his words. "Anyway, I know it must've been hard...but it also must've been really fun to travel to different places with someone with you."

Focusing her attention back to Link, Paya regained her composure. "Yes, it was a rather enjoyable experience when I wasn't training. We've even traveled to places outside of Hyrule. It was...very fun." Paya said with a small yet bright smile.

Paya then realized that Link should take priority. "Oh, Master Link, if you don't like it...why do you choose to travel alone?"

"...You know, you don't have to call me that." Link said while looking at her.

"Huh." Paya gave him a questioning look.

Link gave her a small smile. "You could just call me Link. Afterall, we're friends, right?"

A small blush grew on her face. 'Friends? With Mas-...with...Link.' Was it okay for her to have such a relationship with the hero? "Y-yes! I mean, yes I would like that…wait! No we are! I would like to be your friend." Paya began to stumble over her own words as she was a blushing mess.

Link tried to hold back his laughter, watching Paya stumble over own words. After she calmed down, she began to fan her face, trying to get rid of her blush. Although, knowing Link was seeing her like this, didn't help make her blush go away.

"As for your question, I don't really have a choice...it's far too dangerous for anyone to travel with me. Also, the more of my memory I get back...the more I think it's better that I'm traveling alone."

'After all, I failed to protect any of my own friends.'

Paya looked at him with a sadden look. However, before she could say anything, Link looked at her with a smile that nearly made her blush.

"But...if I traveled with someone as reliable as you, I'd be very grateful for that.." Link said with a very bright and genuine smile.

Paya was once again left stunned, ever since they met, Link was a continuous inspiration to both her and the village. He brought immense joy and relief to her Grandmother, inspired both Dorian and Cado to be stronger warriors, aided the villagers during their misfortune. Most of all, he reminded her the reasons she wanted to be a worrier, that her Mother loved her more than anything else and even that inspired her to protect her home.

He said that she would be reliable enough to travel with.

"Sorry for the wait. 'They were quite high up.'" They both turned to see Impa coming down the steps while carrying a few blankets and a pair boots.

Once she came down, Impa gave the items to Link. "Here you are, these will no doubt aid you in your journey." As Link received the items, Trissa also arrived, after handing him the extra supplies, she walked back to her shop. "Thanks again!" Link yelled as she was walking away.

"Looks like I have everything I need." Link said as he was preparing to use his Sheikah Slate.

"We here at Kakariko, wish you the best of luck in your adventures." With one final wave, Link teleported with the goal of freeing Divine beast Vah Medoh.

As he left, Paya could only stare upwards towards the sky. Her mind was oddly...conflicted. She didn't know what to think.

Impa turned around to walk back in the house. "I remember once hearing, it's better to regret doing something stupid, than regret doing absolutely nothing."

Hearing her Grandmother, Paya looked back at her Grandmother. "Oh, I'm sorry, Grandmother, I didn't hear you." Impa only let out a small chuckle as continued to walk up the stairs. "Oh it's nothing important. Go ahead and enjoy your day."

'Nothing, huh.'

Later that night:

Paya had just finished cleaning the stone deities. It was a task that no one seemed to pay attention to but she did it as a way to show respect to the spirits and the Goddess Hylia.

Today had been a rather long day for her, ever since the Heirloom left them, she seemed to have much more free time than she expected. She tried to help out the villagers but they all said they were fine. Everything was going smoothly, which she was glad for but only left her with nothing more to do. She did start planning out her new training regimen but that still left her with plenty of time left for the day.

As she started to walk back home, she stopped to look up at the mountains just beyond Lantern Lake. Although it seemed like another set of mountains, the people of Kakariko loved to look up at it during nights like these. The night of a full moon.

As the moon began to rise to the peak of the tallest mountain, a bright, blue light began to shine. It was only seen in certain spots in Kakariko and would last up until Midnight. The light that reflected the moonlight was absolutely beautiful.

Paya was absolutely mesmerized by it. She'd always felt almost drawn to it every single time she saw it. After a few minutes, she decided to finally head home. After reaching her home, she wished Cado a Goodnight. Once entering she did the same for her Grandmother.

However, right as she was going to bed, Impa stared at Paya. '*sigh* I wonder if you'll be as impulsive as your Mother. Hmm no, no one can be as impulsive as her.'


Hours later:

What time was it? Paya couldn't tell. Ever since Link left she had a lot in her mind, most of which she didn't understand. The night didn't help her either, she couldn't drift to sleep no matter how tired she was. Looking up at the ceiling, she was frustrated with her lack of sleep.

'I've felt like this all day. What is it that's bothering me and why can't I stop thinking about it?'

For the first time today, she was brought out of her thoughts when she was blinded by a familiar blue light. She sat up to see that the light was peeking through her closed curtains. Without thinking, she got up to open the curtains. The first thing she was drawn to was the peaceful and elegant emptiness of Kakariko. The village itself was quite peaceful but the night brought an aura of mystery and beauty to it. It's beauty was only highlighted by the beaming blue light.

Looking up, she saw the light that shined nearly as bright as the moon itself. She would have been hypnotized by the light's beauty if she wasn't already entranced by...something, a voice? Wanting her to walk towards the light source. 'But why?' She questioned.

'What...what would Mother have done?'

"I wanted to be a warrior because it called for me. It was what I wanted to be for a long time and I had to protect my home. After all, if I didn't, who would?"

'If I didn't, who would?' Though her words didn't exactly fit the situation, those words still occupied her mind. She was always drawn to that light, ever since she first laid eyes on it so many years ago. She just didn't have the confidence or courage to go towards it. She finally made the decision to comply with her feelings.

Not wanting to wake her Grandmother or worry Cado, who would still be outside, she climbed out the window and onto the rooftop. She didn't even think about changing from her pajamas, which were a pair black baggy sweat pants and black top. The light was also beginning to dim, meaning it must have been close to midnight. That still didn't stop her from moving forward.

She made the long and arduous journey towards the peak of the mountain. After climbing the neighboring mountains near her home, she looked up to see the peak of the highest mountain still glowing. It's been a long time since she did something like this, she wasn't sure if she had the stamina or strength to climb all the way to the top. Once she made it towards the base of the mountain, she felt nervous. Still though, she wasn't deterred from her goal.

With nothing but her determination, she began to climb the tall mountain. However, the cold air only got worse the higher she got. She was really starting to regret not changing into warmer clothing before she left. "Just a little bit longer." She said to herself, she was near her limit, the only thing making her continue was pure will. Every time she looked up, she could see the light getting dimmer by the minute.

" Ugh! You're the daughter of Mizuki. Agh! The Granddaughter of Impa. *Puff*! The niece of Purah. Ack! And a friend of the hero, I can hold on, just a little longer!" With every word she climbed a little higher, she was out of breath and nearly out of strength. Paya was drenched in sweat, so much so that she nearly slipped a few times. The further she slimed, she'd begun to realize both her hands and feet had begun to bleed from the rough surface.

She had tears flowing down her face from both exhaustion and pain. But before she knew it, she was finally at the top of the mountain.

Using all her strength, she pulled herself on top of the mountain and let herself lie down as she was desperately trying to catch her breath. Finally, Paya regained enough energy to stand up and look at the ground below her. Although she did initially flinch from the pain on both her hand and feet. The damages we aren't anything to worry about but still needed medical attention.

She looked at the direction of her village, only to see nothing. She could hardly see her home. Paya couldn't even see the shrine from up there without getting dangerously close to the edge of the cliff.

Despite how cold it was, she simply wiped away some sweat and enjoyed the cool and gentle breeze. However, this was no time to get sidetracked. Paya looked back to see a very small object glow.

Paya looked closer to see that it was a small blade, mounted on a rock with a guardian deity right beside it. The blade looked nothing like the ones that were used today. Though similar in size, it had a black blade with a purple hilt, a golden cross guard and pommel and a blue light emanating from the edge of the blade. Just like back in the village, she felt drawn towards it.

'This is what's been shining over Kakariko all this time.'


Petit Hyrule: Too high up!

"Just wait here and I'll get them." Impa said as she went to look for the items.

"Now where are those blankets?" Impa asked herself. She began to look for them in her room. With no luck there, she then checked Paya's room. While there, she did take a peek in her diary that was open...for some reason. 'Oh my, you've just met and my little girl already has a crush. *sigh* you're just like your mother.'

Exiting her room, she looked in the closet in the hallway. Finally, she found what she was looking for. Unfortunately they were...on the top shelf. 'Oh no, my main enemy, the top shelf!'

After a moment of staring at the top shelf, she tried jumping, only to get several inches off the ground. 'Well, worth a shot.'

She then attempted to climb the shelfs but they broke after getting to the fourth shelf. "Agh!" After getting up and removing the clothes that were on top of her, she felt something poke her. She picked up a shirt and saw that it was a Sheik amiibo that poked her. "Oh so that's where you've been." she threw it to her side.

"Paya, where's the step stool!" Impa aske, only to get no response. "Hmm. OW!" As Impa walked forward, she accidentally hit her foot on something.

She picked up a small, egg shaped guardian. "Oh yeah, I thought I lost you." Impa said. She was about to put it down until it began to play a song. It's eye also began to glow, the more it played, the eye then started to glow white. Impa stared at the little guardian with awe. "Ehh." she simply threw the little guardian to the side, uninterested.

The guardian flew out the window and into the lake. "Yahaha, you found me."

"Bee woop..."

Impa continued to stare at the top shelf, contemplating her next move.

She settled on throwing random stuff to get them down. First a shirt, then a book. When that didn't work, she threw the Sheik amiibo. "Hmm." Impa finally threw and damaged Terrako, which worked in knocking down the final shelf. "Yes!" she exclaimed.

Finally she grabbed the items she intended to give to Link. However, before she left, she looked back at the mess. "Someone should seriously clean this up." Impa said before leaving.


I really want to thank you for reading this chapter and I apologize for taking too long with this. Originally, this was supposed to be a much longer chapter but I decided to split the chapter because I didn't want to realse chapter that was that long and immediately disappoint you guys with a shorter chapter. So for now I decided to split it into two shorter chapters. I hope your guys don't mind and thank you for understanding. However this does mean that the next chapter should come out sooner than others...maybe. Also, I want to apologize if it seems like I'm putting too much focus on this story than my other one. I'll try to focus on the other story either after this chapter or the next chapter, so please be patient.
