Xayvion's Freedom (Zelda fan fiction)

Chapter 6

Many months rolled around and with time the Twili was able to heal for the most part from the trauma Nydore endured. Xayvion may not have entirely healed, but he was happier each new day, as he gazed out admiring the twilight he came to realize that each day. There were still nights he endured nightmares of that man, but as time went on they became more and more meager. With the aid of the kind Gorons of Death Mountain, they were able to grow stronger from past endeavors. Bozik especially had aided Xayvion in the healing process the most. The Goron became a close friend to the Twili after that day, and throughout the months he recently became something more. Xayvion felt a real warmth being with Bozik, a feeling he lost when he was with Nydore. A feeling he thought he would never feel again, but he was more than happy to feel again.
Xayvion sat on the edge of a small ledge over the springs as he admired the dusk. A warm feeling overcame him as the wind blew gently across the mountain. The hot air was alluring with the scent of spring water sprinkling throughout the valley. After so many months, Xayvion felt at peace.
    “Enjoying the view?” Bozik asked as he approached Xayvion. “Sure is beautiful tonight.”
    “It really is,” Xayvion sighed happily. “Almost a shame it doesn’t last forever in the light world.”
    “Is it always like this in your world?” Bozik asked as he took a seat next to Xayvion. “Sounds calming.”
    “Kind of haunting too if I am honest,” Xayvion admitted. “The world is neither light nor dark; it is a constant twilight. That might be off putting to some.”
“Well I think with the right company it would be nice,” Bozik smiled. “I think it would be fun to at least visit. How does that work though? You need a special thing to get to and from?”
    “We used to. But someone I am close to told me that when the hour of twilight is at hand the two worlds meet. You just have to find the right place to meet the two realities.”
“What sort of relic could manage such a feat?”
    “They told me it was a mirror. A mirror of Twilight I believe. But it is no longer around, so now we hope to get lucky finding the barriers in between to come here.”
    “Fancy.”
    “It is how I ended up in this world to begin with. I am happy to have come here despite everything that came after. I am glad though...to have come here that day. It really helped me grow stronger.”
    “Heh! The world has a funny way of helpin’ people grow strong. But it is nice to see you smile more.”
    “Here I thought you weren’t one to flirt,” Xayvion grinned. “You have grown more too since then.”
    “Is it wrong for a partner to flirt?” Bozik smirked. “But I have, you got me. To think this loner would have settled down. Things are kind of funny that way.”
    “Like life.”
    “Like life,” Bozik sighed. “Can you make a promise to me, partner?”
    “Sure love,” Xayvion smiled. “What is it?”
    “Let me see your world one day,” Bozik smiled softly. “And let’s both traverse the lands of both the light and the twilight. Write our stories as one, let all know the knowledge of the other. Make it a world, no, worlds worth living for us. What do you say? Will you promise to join me despite the rough roads ahead?”
    “I would love nothing more.”
