Blue was angry.
Apparently, that wasn't news to him, since he noticed that he was stressed with small things, even appearing to be something futile.
Being attacked by a rusty killer robot that released a laser beam, however, was too much.
Blue rolled behind a stone, shielding herself from one more attack from the creature. He grunted as he thought of a way to get rid of that thing he had no idea what it was ... He had no idea who he was, let alone this thing! The only thing he knew was that he was awakened by a strange voice in this strange place, being guided by a strange object, while strange creatures wanted to kill him for some strange reason.
All this was so ... Irritating.
The creature stopped its attack, possibly thinking that it had got rid of the Blue, and returned to use the red light to aim at any next living being. Blue took this chance to sneak up on the creature and draw the rusty sword he found. When the creature turned to him again, Blue quickly ran and plunged his sword into what appeared to be the creature's neck.
As the young man expected, the weapon broke at the moment of impact with the creature, what he did not expect was that the creature would begin to release sparks and his head began to spin frantically. Alarmed, Blue ran to his hideout again and could hear an explosion as he crouched down.
When he stood up, he just saw the creature and its ancient weapon destroyed in millions of pieces. Blue grunted a little for missing another gun, but it was not his fault! It was their ridiculous weapons that could not handle a blow without being destroyed!
... Well, maybe it was a little his fault, since he can not control right the strength he puts in the blows. Something inside him, almost like an instinct, he said never to hold himself in a fight or he would end up dead.
But fighting with all your might also ends up in another type of death ... Death to the weapons he uses.
Sighing, Blue continued his walk as he tried to find some living soul who did not want to kill him, and preferably not that strange old man he'd met. This man made the young man shudder in such a way that he did not want to be around for too long.
And then, all of a sudden, everything was upside down.
Blue blinked, confused as to what had happened, until he realized something was on his right foot and suspended him in one of the nearby trees. When he finally understood what had happened, he screamed in fury. A hunting trap? Was he trapped in a stupid hunting trap? How stupid did he have to be to get stuck in a stupid hunting trap?
He started to squirm, trying to get out of this situation, but without his weapon or a decent plan, Blue couldn't do anything but stay there, helpless for any kind of monster to end it. But he didn't give up.
He didn't know how long he stayed that way, fighting futilely against the rope, but it was time enough for him to give up and start spinning gently with the swaying of the rope as the sky began to turn orange, which must mean long time. Blue grunted once more, will he really die so pathetically?
"... Hey..."
It was soft in the beginning, so low that Blue was sure he was hearing things ... until he realized there was something in a nearby brush.
"... Is there any near enemy? I mean, is there a monster nearby? "The ... Thing in the thicket asked, looking a bit afraid. Half suspicious, Blue slowly looked around and then gently shook his head.
Before Blue could react, suddenly someone was right in front of him.
Blue screamed and tried to pull away as much as possible, but it only made him sway back on the rope, while the thing smiled widely at him and he tried to stabilize it to stop swaying.
Blue took a few seconds to realize that "the thing" was actually "a person".
The boy was similar to himself, but his long hair was a much lighter color than his, almost golden, and his eyes glowed like deep water, were beautiful and at the same time with some danger in his gaze. The boy also had a leaner, slimmer physique, though he had a few muscles here and there.
Or the boy was much closer than Blue imagined to notice all these details, or the blood flowing to his head was making him notice more than usual. It can be both together.
"Hey, calm down! I'm sorry, I did not mean to scare you!" The boy gave a small, embarrassed laugh, taking a few steps back. "It's just that I did not see any other being like me, so I was so happy that I could not stop approaching!"
"W... What? ..." It was the only thing Blue could speak at that moment, still a little amazed at the sudden appearance of what he was looking for.
Now that he found it, he realized he had no idea what to do next.
"That trap got you right, didn't it? Even though the Bokoblins are dumb, they know how to make a good hunting trap, "The boy commented, looking up at the rope at the top of the branch. "... If you stay quiet, I think I can ..."
"I don't need help! I can do it for myself! "Blue shouted angrily to the boy, he wasn't sure why, but seeing someone trying to help him with something he couldn't get made him angrier than before. The boy blinked in surprise, before nodding softly, pulling back a little farther and sitting up, watching Blue with curiosity.
Blue bravely struggled back against the rope, but this time he only fought for a few minutes before giving up, exhausted and starting to have difficulty feeling anything from the waist down. He looked at the boy, who now ate an apple while looking at some object in his hands, Blue had no idea where he got that apple, but he sure was a little jealous of the boy now.
The object in his hands, however, caught the attention of Blue.
"HEY! Give me back my Sheikah Slate! "He shouted, tiredness being the only thing that kept him from fighting again like a maniac. The boy blinked again, before getting up and approaching.
"Do you know what this is?" The boy asked, looking at the Sheikah Slate. Blue frowned and was ready to yell at the boy once more as he continued, "I woke up with this in a cave, a voice told me that I should keep this and that it 'will keep you all together,' whatever that it means. "He turned to Blue, hopeful. "Do you know anything about it or the strange voice? It's just that I can't remember much ... "
This made Blue stop, looking confused at the boy. The boy ... Did he have the same problem as him? This could not be a coincidence, could it? Blue touched his belt and felt his Sheikah Slate in it, he gently took it from there and showed the boy, who looked as shocked as he.
"I have no idea what's going on ... I've been in a situation similar to what you described as I woke up here and I'm as lost as you are." Blue admitted, shrugging as lightly as he could in his situation. The boy looked at the two Sheikah Slate for a few seconds before look at Blue.
"I think ... I think we should be together for the time being," He said, glancing quickly at the object before turning his attention back to Blue. "The voice said that this holds us together, maybe it's talking about us or more people ... Besides, it would be much better if we stay united than we were separated and at risk of being stuck and with no way out." The boy gave a shy smile. "What do you think? At least until we find out what's going on. "
Blue's first instinct was to refuse and say that he worked alone, but he prevented it even before such a phrase formed in his head. First, because that was completely against his goal, that was just meeting other people. Second, because as much as it hurt his pride a little, the boy was right. That situation in which they were was absolute proof that being alone is asking to die, for both sides. Blue sighed, crossing her arms as best he could as dizziness began to worsen.
"... If you really can get me out of here, then I accept this alliance ... But just for now, did you hear me?" He warned, the boy smiled and nodded a few times, starting to walk to the thicket where he was hidden before, leaving Blue confused, he didn't agreed to help him? What was he doing?
His response came when the boy took some of the bush out of the way and kicked a piece of wood hard, pulling it off the ground and causing Blue to fall hard on the ground.
"I'm sorry! I should have warned you about it! "The boy ran and helped Blue sit down, making the young man's dizziness worse, but at least he began to feel his legs again.
The boy supported him with his body and slowly began to walk in some direction, perhaps a place he knew to be safe. The sudden loss of blood pressure in his head made Blue dizzier than he imagined, since he was stumbling on almost every object in his path, but he was able to accompany the boy to the place he wanted and then sat down. The boy started to prepare the fire and asked Blue to rest for a bit, since he looked very ill. And for the first time, Blue didn't argue.
The boy's name is Red, and he discovered it the day after his strange encounter with him.
Even if he didn't admit it out loud, Blue liked his company, Red was very energetic and could find something interesting in things that Blue found unnecessary. It was with such curiosity that he discovered that by capturing an image of an enemy with the Sheikah Slate gave them information about them. Red also enjoyed collecting various things along the way in his magical bags, he had kept from various mushrooms he found on the floor to some Guardians' pieces they found on the way, most of them already destroyed, others they had to destroy.
He was also more skilled than Blue had given credit, since he managed to find - and steal - a Rusty Halberd of a Bokoblin while he slept, without alerting the other two that were nearby. He also found a Woodcutting's Axe and handed it to Blue, laughing as he said that a weapon as strong, direct, and crude as that one matched his attitude.
Red was right, however, since little time of use, Blue stated that he would only use axes from this day onwards.
After a little discussion, they headed toward the forest, past a large portion of water with destroyed Guardians and a strange cave, when suddenly the earth began to shake, leaving them without balance for a few seconds while trying to understand what was happening.
"B-Blue! Look at that! "Red yelled, pointing at something behind them. Blue quickly turned around and was shocked by what he was seeing.
A tower had literally begun to sprout from the ground, going higher and higher at frightening speed.
"What the ..." Before he could finish his sentence, a very familiar sound detached itself from the noise caused by the tower. The two turned to see the strange cave they were ignoring shining in orange and blue.
The quakes began to cease as the glow of the cave increased a little, as if it were beckoning them to enter. The pair looked at each other, a little worried and suspicious, before looking back at the cave. A little hesitantly, they approached and surveyed the cave.
"It ... It looks a lot like the structure of the place where I woke up." Blue commented, looking mostly at the familiar pillar. Red nodded slightly, also intrigued by all that, touching with what appeared to be a door.
"... Should we use the Sheikah Slate?" He asked apprehensively, turning to Blue. Blue frowned for a few seconds before taking out his Sheikah Slate and approaching the pedestal.
Sheikah Slate confirmed.
Travel gate will be recorded on the map.
Access granted.
The door shone and opened, just as the circles began to glow blue. The pair waited for a few seconds to see if anything else would occur, and then approached the circle that was hidden by the gate, which turned out to be a type of elevator for some kind of underground area.
The place was quite large, with something resembling the pillar for the Sheikah Slate and two large metal plates in the center of the room. Red and Blue emerged from the platform, ready to explore the strange region when a male voice echoed on the spot.
To you who sets foot in this shrine...
I am Oman Au.
In the name of the Goddess Hylian, I offer this trial.
And as suddenly as it appeared, the voice disappeared. Again, that sense of anger came to Blue's chest with all that mystery and nonsense, why all this drama? Was it so difficult to answer things directly? If things continued like this, he was sure to discount all his anger and frustration at the next enemy he faced.
"... So ... what do we do now?" Red asked, even though he was heading toward the pillar. Blue followed suit and approached the pillar, taking his Sheikah Slate again.
"Well, we only has that choice ..." He grunted, then put his object on the pillar, letting him react with that as his mind thought of several things that Red would no doubt be shocked by his nature, so he wisely decided keep quiet.
In any case, he was sadly sure that his new weapon would not last as long as he wanted.
