Oh Goddesses. If you gave up on this fic, I don't blame you. I'm really sorry I couldn't update! Like that makes up for it, but…yeah. Sorry. I hope a few new drabbles will make up for it! Also, my next Zelda fanfic will be up when I finish Lost Consciousness. Yep. All right, ignore my annoying notes and on with the story!

It looked ugly against the pale pastels of a coming morning, even though to him, it was even uglier.

She had sacrificed herself. He remembered the small smile upon her pale, too-thin face as the Twili girl floated, sparkling and glowing with a shimmering pink aura. It was almost as if she thought this mere fate was her purpose, even though with the powers of the goddesses at her sides, she could have done better.

As he padded away to the Sacred Grove to restore his original form, he knew there was no looking back now.
