When: February 7th
Where: Hospital
Warning: Dumb Heavensward 3.1 Spoilers

The descent into Crystal Stasis was quick an unceremonious at best. He didn't remember laying down, nor waking up in such a manner, but his eyes flickered open.

With a groan, Adventurer sat up, holding his head. "I... remember... everything."

Looking over, he noticed his armor laying in a box to the side. It... needed to be black, he figured. But that could wait.

Getting up, he dressed quickly and headed out the door. His weapon was missing, possibly where he left it, but he held his head as a ache formed from the sunlight. It was a beautiful day, with the sun waning in the snow-topped trees and all he could think of was, "This sucks..."

Zelda smiled a little bit more earnestly now. "Well, you aren't alone. If you need me please let me know." It was easier to be strong when there was someone to be strong for.

"I don't think I can tell you what's going on but it'll be here." She can do that much.

[derplander]

"Well, maybe I should start from the beginning."

Sitting down, he began to explain. From the battle with the Ascian to the fact that they were working together now, as a Warrior of Darkness. "The power of light has grown too strong back home, and someone had to balance it out. I fear because K has naught appeared before me in her time."

[goddessofthesky]

Zelda took a seat next to him and listened carefully. She wasn't completely sure she understood though it did make their last few moments in the future make sense. She looked over at Meteor, her expression calm.

"Why does it have to balance?" Midna had said the same thing before. It was the reason why she said that her and Zelda couldn't be friends; darkness and light can't mix. Hearing that Meteor chose that path almost hurts because of it. Zelda knew that she didn't have to stay in the light but she made a promise to do so. She wouldn't let her sadness change that.

[derplander]

"Because the power of Light can be as dangerous as the Power of Darkness in my world," said Meteor, folding his hands in front of himself.

"You see... in my world, one deed leads to another, one greater deed greater than another. The power of Light has gotten so strong, that it is bordering on godhood. The more people praise the Warrior of Light, the more they will offer their prayers up to them. And these prayers can turn someone into a god in my world. It happened to Thordan, it happened to Louisoix. To prevent that godhood from happening I and my friends went to the other side as Warriors of Darkness."

[goddessofthesky]

Zelda could understand that to a degree, having so many with that level of power would corrupt them and invite disaster. She looked over at Meteor, her blue eyes blinking curiously.

“I am a goddess.” She spoke simply, her tone lost its happy edge. “But I am the only one in my world. I can’t imagine that happening to others.” It wasn’t always a good thing.

Zelda let out a soft sigh and nodded. “I understand. However I think this world has more darkness than light.” Her tone sounds even more depressed now.

[derplander]

"Mmm... I realize that." He said. It wasn't a tone of slighting, but resignation. "The gods of my world are very dangerous. Their sheer presence causes the world's magic to warp and distort, as they feed on crystals and gather followers to increase their power, brainwashing them and causing strife and discord everywhere they go. They are shades of true godhood. Primals."

"It might be... but even so, there's still a chance that when Light grows strong, it might become its undoing. I hope however this is not the case."

[goddessofthesky]

"In my world it's very different." She looked up at him forcing herself to smile at him. "I'm honestly glad that you have another point of view. It will probably help us in ways that we otherwise wouldn't know of." She didn't think he was evil, it was just a different way to view the world.

They can still all work together.

She lightly rested her head against his shoulder and closed her eyes. "I hope so too." She wanted things to work out for the best. After a moment she opened her eyes, stood and back away. "I should probably let you go... you must have a lot to do." Since he just woke up again.

[derplander]

"Wait I... I just wanted to say that I'm sorry, for not being there when you needed me. I mean, crystal stasis and all..." He fumbled awkwardly, twiddling his fingers a little.

"Can I come by, when I get resettled back in?"

[goddessofthesky]

Zelda felt a strange swell of warmth in her chest at Meteor's words. A soft, very small, smile began to pull at her lips. She had missed him but it wasn't his fault for going into stasis and she won't blame him for that.

"You are always welcome to come by."

[derplander]

"Thank you. I won't be too long then," said Meteor with a smile.

[goddessofthesky]

Zelda nodded her head with a slight smile.

"I look forward to it."

She didn't have plans to go home any time soon anyway; it isn't as if he'll miss her.
