Chapter 3: A Turn for the Worse/ Two Eras Collide
As you may know by now, being in different time periods/Eras other than your own can make you more susceptible to certain illnesses/diseases.

Hyrule Castle (FSA)
The Heroes of the Four Sword ran down the corridors, looking for one place in particular. "There!" They came to a stop in front of two massive oak doors. Not wasting another second, Red and Blue opened one of these doors, and Green entered the room.
Derek's condition had only worsened. Thankfully, the canine had not transformed at all back into his normal self. Yet. That could change at any second.
Without waiting on any one, Green set the ill wolf onto a bed. Then, as if doing so was against the law, a door in the room flung open. A woman in white clothing was standing in the doorway.
When she saw the four boys crowded around a single bed, the woman hurried over to them. "...Hello you four...what's the problem now?" Vio shook his head and gestured towards the bed. "It's not us. It's him."
The woman did a double-take. "...A wolf..." The beast's breathing was shallow, and from the way he was positioned, he seemed to be in pain, even while he was sleeping. "...Doctor Hera?" She smiled grimly down at the wolf. "...Leave him to me, boys. He's not going to die on my watch."
(When Animagui are in their beast forms, their thoughts and actions are minimized. So their thoughts are as basic as possible. So don't yell at me for the incorrect form of English) He felt as if he was on fire. He knew that he carried the Sickness. He wanted someone to help him...
It seemed to be much later when his mind rose again. He felt better. A lot better. Then he heard a voice. "...I've done all that I can do, Lucky...hopefully your name will do you some good..." Then the darkness took him once more...
Outside, in the hallway, the four boys were getting tired of waiting for news of Derek's condition. "...I do hope Lucky's alright." Blue turned to stare at Red. "...Lucky?" Red nodded solemnly. "...You named him Lucky!?" Red held up his hands. "What else was I supposed to call him?! Doctor Hera asked for a name...and..." Blue facepalmed. "Red..." "What? He needs all the luck he can get!" There was no use arguing to the statement.
He needed to do something. Hopefully the female that was tending to him knew that. His vision was blurry, but he was awake. "Oh, hello, Lucky. It seems that the worst is over for you..." The wolf snorted. ...Lucky? They named me Lucky?! He shook his head and attempted to get down from the bed he was currently lying on. But the female...what was her name? Hera...stopped him from doing so. "No, Lucky." He lowered his ears and whined at her. Hera walked over to the other side of the bed. "What?" He knew he couldn't speak to her, so, he did the next best thing.
What he did caused Hera to quickly pick him up and carry him to a small garden that was built into the room. He felt the rays of the sun on his fur, he heard birds, and...
He saw green. Fields of green grass. He started to struggle and Hera set him down on the cobblestone path. Lucky was still a bit off and weak, but he completely forgot about Hera when he felt his paws touch the grass.
"...What do you think's going on in there?" Vio had taken it upon himself to open one of the doors. His somewhat muffled voice reached the others. "...Well...Hera's gone...and so is Derek...wait...I can hear birds...why...hey, guys, come and take a look at this..."
The four boys entered the room, where they spotted Hera leaning up against a door frame. "...Doctor Hera?" She nodded. "He's awake. Trained, too." "..Trained?" She nodded again and gestured to her left. "Take a look."
There was a slight problem. He had transformed back. he had felt himself beginning to transform, and had thrown himself behind a patch of bushes. And he was a good thing he had.
When the four of them stepped into the garden, all of them noticed that a few bushes were rustling near one of the walls. Green stepped towards the bushes. "...Hello?" The bushes stopped moving, then, a familiar head popped up from the bushes. "...Uh...hi?" "...Hi. You alright?" Derek shook his head. "Do I look okay to you?" The others looked at each other, then back at Derek. "No...you don't. Aren't you going to come out?" At this, Derek shook his head frantically. "Why not?" "Well...you see...um...I'm...not..." Blue took a step towards the bushes as Derek ducked back behind cover. "Not what? Come on, spit it out already!" The four of them then heard a very meek reply. "...I'm not wearing anything."
"...Oh. Well...uh...that's a good reason to stay behind that bush, then...what even..." "It must of been because...of the circumstances under which I changed back...can one of you go and ask Hera if she has a spare change of clothing?"
Several minutes later, Red came back with a bundle of clothing. As he neared the other three and Derek, he appeared to be showing Green, Vio, and Blue some of his scars. One in particular made him stop where he was- a ragged scar that ran from near his left shoulder down to the middle of his back. "...Wow...what happened?" Derek turned back around and noticed Red standing there. "She had spare clothing? Excellent." The teenager took the clothes from Red and ducked down to put them on. "About the scar? Darknut got me."
Derek stepped out of the bushes, now fully clothed. To him, it looked like something those religious-crazy guys would wear (If I offend someone-I am sorry.), but it was better than nothing...
Minutes later, the five boys walked back into the room. Doctor Hera rushed over to them. "I see you got the clothes...well, I think you can leave now, Derek. Try not to get sick again, okay?" Red had kept Derek's sword the whole time, and now handed the weapon back to its rightful owner. Derek nodded to the boy as he reequipped the weapon he had carried for so long. "You never did tell us that sword's name." Derek reached behind him and unsheathed the sword.
It blazed for a few seconds, then the light died a bit. "It's gone by a few names...but now...it goes by the name Demonslayer." Vio looked interested. "...Demonslayer, huh? Why is this?" Derek turned to face the four boys. "You did kill Vaati, right?" The boys grew pale a bit and nodded frantically. "Yes." "And Ganon?" "Yeah...did you?" Derek merely smiled and drove the sword into the tile floor, and then leaned on it. "Yeah. Obviously." He held out his left hand and tuned it palm down. "Would I have earned this if I hadn't?" A symbol slowly appeared. It was of a golden triangle, with three smaller triangle inside it. The lower left one was blazing. Green and the others looked between Derek's hand and the sword and him. "...Uh...what is your title? I mean, we're the Heroes of the Four Sword..." Derek pulled the sword out of the ground, which sprayed bits of tile everywhere, and twirled Demonslayer around his fingers before sheathing the weapon. "My title? Hero of Magic." With this, Derek grinned, turned his left hand palm up, and snapped his fingers. Almost instantly, a small blue flame appeared. Which caused Green, Red, Blue and even Vio to leap back. "Told you so."
Which Era/Hero should I add next? And where should they go? Tell me, people!
