The Absent Blue of Your Gaze (Linked Universe)
In search of a new danger that threatened to assault Time's Hyrule, the chain walked into the deep Lost Woods, guided by their leader who opened the path through the darkness. What they didn't expect, though, is that the danger might sometimes be closer than they think. It might be in the nearest tree, in the flower that stands alone at their feet, in the blade of grass that looks slightly suspicious. Who knows, it could even maybe -just maybe- be in the shape of their own footsteps. In the wind that lightly hits their faces. In the darkness of their own shadows. They don't know if it's standing right next to them. Or watching them in their sleep. Or talking to them using words that feel somehow in the wrong voice. It's hard to believe that it could even be staring directly at their eyes with the gaze that used to be blue.Complete
