The Hero of Time was way to busy fighting monsters to care that he hadn't returned that morning. He had been fighting since some ungodly hour, and hadn't wanted to wake the others. Besides, Twilight had been on watch, nothing bad could happen to them, right? He didn't let himself think about that as he cut down a few more monsters, ignoring as their blood splashed onto his armor. "OLD MAN?" asked a voice from somewhere far off. He didn't respond as he killed the last monster, a Lynel, and let himself calm down. He collapsed to one knee, resting his head against the bloody blade of his sword, breathing heavily, and completely exhausted. Both of his eyes were open, and he destroyed one was only a pupil, no color reached it. 

The others ran towards him. "Are you alright?" asked a voice, the Hero of Hyrule. He stumbled to his feet, closing his destroyed eye, and looked over at them all. "Yes, I'm fine" he answered. Something was very wrong. And it wasn't just the amount of monsters he had fought that day. No, something was wrong, with the world, with the power that the world held. He could sense it, as the Hero of Time, the timelines were broken, he knew that. But this was another power, one that hurt him to think about, or even to feel. It was draining him, paining him. But he still couldn't tell what it was. "Old Man!" said Hyrule as he tipped to the side, just catching himself, as if he was drunk. He held his head in his hands. "Just... don't worry about me" he promised them. "Let's get back to camp, we need to keep moving, there were this many monsters so close to us, there's bound to be more"

He was cut off. "Um... Time, Sky's unconscious" Warriors cut in. "Of course he is, that boy can't stop sleeping for five minutes...." he said to himself, beginning to walk back to camp. "No I mean...." They all explained what had happened. Time listened attentively, his brow furrowing as he heard the complete story. "That's.... interesting" he said simply as they made their way back to camp. Sky was awake now, and he and Twilight were talking like they hadn't just tried to kill each other the night before. "I see your feeling better" said Time, collapsing by the side of the fire. "Holy Crap, what happened?" asked Twilight. "Eh, nothing like a good battle to get the blood moving" he groaned, holding his side, just now realizing he was bleeding. "What in Din's name..." started Sky. "You're as stupid as we are" Twilight commented. 

"Here, I have an extra fairy..." said Hyrule opening up the glass jar, the fairy flew around Time, and disappeared into nothing. "Thanks" he commented. His side had mostly healed, and he ignored the blood, telling himself he'd pick it up later. "Um.... guys?" said Wind. They all turned to see the youngest hero standing in front of a portal. "Oh, wonderful, the portals here, perfect timing" said Time, stumbling to his feet. "Does everyone have everything. I don't want us forgetting little things, like last time" he was referring to how Wild had forgotten the Sheikah Slate, and they had had to go back through the portal, and get it back. Warriors turned to Four. "Do you feel safe?" Four's eyes widened. "I will hit you" The others laughed, and then stepped through the portal.
