Cerulean Hues

Chapter One - Encounter

"Okay, I think that's all of them, Link! Thanks again, I don't know what I would've done without my precious cuccos!" The Hylian guard exclaimed, though Wild merely responded with a rather small nod. He was then alerted of his task being completed on his Sheikah slate. He ignored it as he walked off to go fetch his horse. His break had been long enough, it was time to move on. He made his way out of Kakariko Village. Impa's voice echoing in his head. "Free the Divine Beasts," Wild sighed as he looked up at the evening sky. He felt overwhelmed with what he had to do. And he had to do it alone. Though what hurt him the most was the guilt. The guilt of failing his duty and in return; losing everyone he's ever cared about and Hyrule itself. He shook off the feeling. 'Thinking about it will get me nowhere. I have to move on," The Hylian knight thought to himself.

Wild paused, looking around and taking in his surroundings. He squinted his cerulean eyes, not spotting the Sheikah tower. 'I just saw it, where-' He thought. He sighed softly, eventually deciding to just find a spot to set up camp for the night. He trudged onwards. Wild looked around before freezing at hearing the sound of wolves howling along with their many footsteps. 'Just my luck..' He groaned, weakly taking out his sword. He was over exhausted since he hadn't rested in days. After a bit, he successfully scared most of them off. He glanced back, seeing a peculiar looking wolf slowly making it's way towards the boy. It was bigger than the ones you'd normally see wandering around. It also had rather strange markings. Wild shrugged it off, thinking it was just a new breed he didn't know about. It snarled and bared its teeth, slowly walking towards Wild. The knight readied his weapon, eyeing to see when it'd attack. He had to hurry and finish this. The lack of food and rest was causing black to slowly cloud his vision. He was about to run over and slash at the beast, but instead ended up stumbling a bit, causing him to drop his sword, accidentally. The wolf was about to attack but froze as he saw the small Hylian fall over without looking as though he was even injured. He slowly crept up to the boy, and just what he thought; Wild had collapsed and he'd fallen unconscious.
