...

(Blink stretches his arms... doesn't seem he wants to move. Heck, Rink gets the feeling Blink doesn't seem like he really cares... but what does that say, if anything?)

He looks at him, then sighs before sitting on the couch again.

"You. The other one. That's it."

(Blink clarifies he was talking about in the history books. Like the Hero of Time... not those other Links who have come and gone around the place, such as that green one.)

Main Room (Aichi)

-Aichi's just kind of holding the lavenders as the Plague Doctor starts walking away.-

"I-I'll be sure to keep that in mind... Thank you."

-Aichi then looks over to Leos with a sheepish expression.-

"...Well, they smell nice at least..."

-He's probably going to keep them in his room.-

"...I know little. If the book on Guardians was hard to find — the Republic made sure to track down whatever they could about the legends. And destroy them."

...Mm.

("Figures.")
>("They're all the same, anyway.")

(The Hero of Twilight, the Hero of Winds, the Hero of Oracles... very little survived the eons since they walked the earth. The book documenting most of them even acknowledges the fact that at least half of them are fictional - if only because their tales contradict one another historically.)

(But, Blink repeats - they're all the same. A hero rises to fight the darkness, wielding a sword of light and accompanied by a princess named Zelda... they're too uniform. And too idealized.)

(The real Heroes, if they existed, were most definitely far from perfect. If only Past Blink knew otherwise...)

He looks at his right hand for a moment. Taking it in.

"Was there ever a real Hero whose circumstances were less than ideal?"

Yeah, I guess...

(He just sits there, drinking his coffee with a worried look on his face.)

>("There's a heresy.")

(One Hero who was excised from the Legend, but whose tale persisted in the shadows, preserved by a rare few Sheikah.)

>("The Hero of Night.")

(Blink elaborates that very little is known of this Hero, likely because of the nature of his heresy. But general consensus is that he was a Sheikah nightblade, a killer for hire, not unlike the Yiga Clan. In fact, the Yiga allegedly used to venerate him.)

(The heresy claims that the Hero of Night wielded the darkness to protect the light. At the fingertips of his right hand were ancient, profane magics from a kingdom long fallen... yet in his left hand he clutched the sword that seals the darkness. If the sword could accept him as its master...)

"...At least whichever way history regards me, I'll be in company," he says with his lip curling into a smile. Blink got the sense it wasn't a happy one.

#1300715: Feb 15th 2018 at 3:27:37 PM

...Mm.

(Blink gets a feeling that the Hero of Night only ended up as a heresy for political reasons. Like, his final mark - the darkness he had to vanquish - supposedly incarnated as a Sheikah.)

(And much like how the Gerudo have been associated with Calamity Ganon's sins when he was their king, thousands of years ago... perhaps this other evil's deeds forbade the Sheikah from claiming to have sired the Hero who defeated it.)

(Either way... it most definitely wasn't under the Hero's control. Yet he pushed through.)

He looks at him.

"I don't know how history will regard me. I can't chart that. But I do want to be that Hero of legend."

He looks down.

"I just — don't know how that can be so. The Calamity ended his bloodline."

>("It's a blood thing?")

(Blink doesn't sound like he's asking like that's new information... but, rather, he thinks it's a misconception.)

(...Also that would imply that Blink is Rink's grandpa or something.)
