Misunderstanding

P5

The group had finally reached Central Tower, and they heard two voices coming from the top. One of the voices was Twilight's. Wind felt more joy than he had ever felt at hearing Twilight's voice. Usually whenever Wind heard Twilight's voice he was going to get nagged.

"Stop EATING ROCKS you gremlin child!" Twilight shouted.

"The rocks taste good and you know it!" The voice shouted back.

"NO! I DON'T! How are your teeth even strong enough to break rock?" Twilight sounded tired.

"Honestly, I don't even know." The voice flopped over the edge and noticed them.

"Yo! Twi, your friends are here!" Twilight ran towards the edge.

"GUYS!" Everyone's face lit up at the sound of his voice. Twilight scrabbled down the tower.

Twilight crushed everyone in a huge hug.

"Can't... Breath..." Wind coughed out.

"Oops. Sorry. Hey, Wild! Come down here!" The Link on the tower glided down on some weird cloth sail. Kind of like the ones on ships, just portable. Wild... Such a strange name. He looked young as well. Wait. Wait! WAIT! Could it be? Was he finally not the youngest? Nope. He was young, just not Wind's age. Dang it.

"Hello! Sorry for scratching your face! I'm Wild. Nice to meet you!"

Time stared for a bit. "N-Nice to meet you, Wild. Can you help us set up camp? We can eat and then you can tell us your story."

Time began to give out orders. "Warriors, you can get some firewood. Legend and Hyrule can help me set up camp. Twilight and Wind can scout. And Wild..."

"I can cook!" Wild stuck his hand in the air and waved it enthusiastically.

"Alright. Wild can cook." The newcomer grinned and ran off to the cooking pot. Wind sighed. Another night of whatever they had managed to dredge up in this Hyrule.

Wind and Twilight set off to scout, but Wind ended up bombarding Twilight with questions. What is he like? What's his story? Why is Hyrule Castle all smashed up? What are the spider things he calls Guardians? Twilight chuckled and said that Wild would tell his story later. They had finished scouting, so they turned around and headed back to camp. Instead of the acrid tang of burnt... something, they smelt a wonderful aroma of stew.

"And... Done! Warriors, do you want the first bowl? Consider it my apology." It was a stew, smelling of spice and herbs. Some crushed up nuts had been added. The broth looked thick and creamy and the meat was cooked. When Warriors stared at it and then poked it with his spoon, Wild grinned. "What? It's not poisoned."

Warriors took a bite. His eyes widened. "Ok. You're forgiven as long as I get to have seconds. No, thirds. No, ALL OF THE FOOD!"

Wind was startled. Normally it took about a week for Warriors to forgive someone, and during that week he would prank them, hard.

Time gave a chuckle, and grabbed a bowl. "Don't you think that's being a little greedy?"

Warriors shoveled more food into his mouth. "Don't care all mine."

Time scooped some into his bowl and after he had devoured it and headed back towards the pot he placed a hand on Wild's shoulder. "This is as good as my wife's cooking. You, my friend, have just been promoted to cook." And with that, all Hyrule broke loose.

Time got seconds, but was almost ran over by Warriors who tried to grab the entire pot. Hyrule lept in the air and grabbed a bowl from the table that Wild had set up, then proceeded to roll infront of Legend, who had shoved Warriors out of the way. Wind leapt onto a tree. Keeping his eyes on the pot, he leapt from branch to branch and dropped in front of the arguing trio.

"Nice moves." Wild dropped stew into Wind's bowl. After seeing how Wind got past them, they grumbled and set up a line.

Wind's first bite was flavorful and sweet. The meat complimented the broth and the herbs calmed down the spices. "This was almost as good as my Grandma's stew! Nothing is better, but this comes pretty close." Wild grinned and survayed the camp.

"I have a feeling that this is the start of a wonderful friendship."
