Stormy Seas and Half Done Plans (Linked Universe)

Twilight's pov:

Of course of goddesses dammed course, what better way to get separated then being thrown into a raging ocean. With only a board to keep you from drowning, great idea Hylia! A cough drew me out of my thoughts. I checked on Legend who was besides me. He was just getting any excess water out, I'd have to watch him for dry drowning later. He was under a bit longer than me.

Something didn't feel right, I looked the mage over. Legend's face was scrunched faintly, his left eye closed. Oh for the love of Hylia, please don't tell me he's hurt. "Vet, what's wrong?" I called out over the storm. Legend looked over, his strawberry blond hair already beginning to escape it's braid, the soaked strands falling over his violet eyes.

"I'm fine, don't worry." Legend spoke over the sounds around us. I was about to call him out, when a wave crashed over is. Both of us hit by a wave of salty water. The water resoaked anything that could've dried. I barely could hear Legend's quiet pained wince over the roar, and only due to my enhanced hearing. I reached over and wrapped an arm around Legend, pulling the mage against my side. Legend looked up at me, beads of water running down his face.

"Don't lie to me Vet. Where are you hurt?" I spoke firmly, looking down at the teen pressed into my side. Legend's eyes narrowed slightly, probably debating what to tell me. I look at him sternly, I knew something was wrong.

Legend sighed, looking away and onto the board. "I'm not hurt.... it's something else." Legend reluctantly muttered. My expression turned confused.

"What else?" I asked, my arm wrapping tighter as Legend's grip momentarily faltered. His expression warping into pain for a moment. Worry flooded my mind, what was going on.

Legend took a second to respond, his voice steadily growing weaker. "I-it's a curse- I-I'm suppose to shift when I'm in waist deep water... b-but the band s-stops it halfway." Legend explained, obiviously in pain. My eyes widened, oh no-... that was not good. I look over to Legend's right wrist, the sliver bracelet still locked into place. I knew how painful a shift could be, thankfully my own was tamed and painless thanks to... Midna. But Legend's wasn't, it was out of his control. And from the pain Legend was showing, painful.

I adjusted my hold to support Legend and keep his head above the water. Legend looked over at me, he was surprisingly coherent for how much pain he must be in. "What do you shift into?" I had to know, it could be something that'd kill him. "And how much control do you have during it?" I knew how to undo the bracelet. Warriors, who insisted on the damn thing to begin with, showed everyone but Legend how to undo it.

Legend bit his lip to muffle a wince, his skin getting pale. "M-mer... f-full." He managed through. My eyes briefly widened briefly, I've never heard of that one before. But that'd work. Warrior's damn paranoia wasn't worth Legend's life. I moved my arm underneath Legend's shoulders, Legend was thin so I grabbed his wrist. Finding the hidden clasp along it. I wouldn't be surprised if Legend found it ages ago, but didn't use it so he didn't ruffle feathers.

The bracelet fell into the raging water below us. Legend winced one last time before I assume what was his transformation took over. There was no distinctive sounds or changes I could see or hear. But judging by Legend's slightly relieved expression, it took place. I let Legend go and he let go of the board. But stayed by me. Some color returning into him. I sighed slightly, I only had one painful transformation, I couldn't imagine one constantly after another. "You good Vet?" I asked still slightly worried.

Legend nodded, staying close in case presumably I gave out. "Thank you..." He said softer than his normal bite. I nodded slightly. Legend briefly dove underneath the water, but quickly reappeared at the other end of the board. Steadying it so I didn't flip over.
