Twilight sighed as watched Wild jump off the tree for the seventh time in the last hour.

Currently, they were relaxing (as much as they could as heroes) in Wild’s time. They sat at a stable. A large open field sat around the stable where some wild horses grazed.

Wild was being the normal menace he is, was riding around the fields at top speed on one of his various horses, shooting monsters as he passed. Legend sat under a tree alongside Hyrule, both talking in hushed whispers as they too watched Wild trotting around. Sky had a book and was reading it next to Four, who was currently staring off into space with a thoughtful expression. Time and Warriors chatted as they brushed Epona’s mane, the horse snorting in pleasure. Wind was talking with some hylians at the cooking pot.

Twilight stared at Wind, the pirate talked quickly and waved his hands around. And just for a moment, Twilight thought he saw a flash of bronze, but when he blinked it was gone.

Strange.

Sky blinked blearly at the sunset. He heard his brothers around him talking as Wild gently stirred the soup. Suddenly, a crack sounded nearby like a stick being stepped on. All the links turned, hands on their swords. A small man stepped out with his hands up, he was muddy and ragged, as if he had been traveling trough several miles of mud and swamp.

“Hey, I didn’t mean no harm. I’m just tryin to find my way to castletown. Might you point me in the direction and I’ll be on my way.” He said in a heavy country accent.

Legend narrowed his eyes suspicious, but Time stepped up. Since this was his hyrule afterall.

“Well-“ Time started gestering the man over. But was interrupted by Wind as he hopped up.

“I know what direction it is! Come here,” Wind gestered the man over and the man looked at Time, then glanced at Wind and shrugged. Following Wind over to the opposite side of camp. Wind turned around a full 180 degrees, pointing straight ahead. “Castletown should be that way!”

Sky smiled at Wind’s enthusiasm to help. But he blinked quickly, thinking he saw something vanish into Wind’s bag. But he shrugged because that was probably something he was fiddling with earlier.

To say Legend was mad would be an understatement. He was livid. Legend growled as the bokoblin jabbed at him with a blunt spear. Black blood bled from its side where he had jabbed it earlier.

The monsters had attack them at the worst of times. One moment they were just relaxing and then the next, surprise attack! Several knights also were fighting them, as they were right at the entrance of castletown. (Legend was still a bit sour since the bounty. I mean come on! Legend was so worth more then they were paying. But also his hatred of knights. They never seem to do their job right.)

Wild had a nasty injury and Four was stumbling a bit, but other then that the others were holding out just fine.

Until it came.

It was dark and black. Blacker then night. It’s glowing red eyes gleamed from its stupid lizard skull. It should’ve been dead by now. Yet it was still standing.

And Legend just wanted to murder that little jerk.

It had hurt Hyrule, who currently was inside the castle, being forced to recover from the massive wound it had inflicted. It looked raw and red when Legend had seen it. Now here Legend was, shoving and slicing monsters onto his path to that annoying, pesky lizard.

Wind appeared by his side in an instant, helping him push back the monsters. The lizard’s head shot up, turning to face him. And it hissed. Legend distantly noticed the lack of monsters and saw a whole lot more land and monster dust floating in the breeze. But all that mattered was that little lizard son of a bi-

The Lizard’s red eyes roamed the battle field, before it promptly vanished. Legend stood blinking at the sudden lack of an enemy that he didn’t notice all the monsters dead around him.

Legend felt hands on his arm, and turned to stare at Four.

Four smiled and gently hugged Legend. Legend hugged back with less force. He saw his brothers around the clearing, Time talking with the captain, Warriors and Sky talking, Wild collecting every weapon he could, Twilight and Wind talking with the knights.

Legend blearly noticed Wind putting something in one of his pockets, but Legend didn’t fully process what was going on.

Hyrule sighed as Warriors, and Wind strolled ahead of him. He was lagging behind due to seeing something interesting, but Warriors had pulled him back. Telling him that they were there to get some groceries.

He had noticed Wind hopping off to talk with people, making a very short conversation before he hopped back and pointed to a stall with tips from the person. He seemed to just naturally be better at talking then anyone Hyrule had seen or really met. Maybe the only other person being Four on some occasions. Both being able to weave some pretty good stories and trick some high ranking officers.

Warriors pointed out a particular stall, noting the various foods that was splayed out and being sold. Hyrule caught up to Wind and Warriors noting that Wind had something in his hands.

Hyrule blinked, trying to see what it was, but it was gone. Shrugging, he followed Warriors and Wind up to the stall. Pointing out some fruits.

But he couldn’t help but notice that Wind looked a little.. too energetic…

Warriors sat at the table as Malon shuffled around somewhere upstairs. He grinned as he watched Four, Legend, Hyrule, and Wind quietly stare at each other with their cards up.

“You let your guard down. Boom. Straight.” Warriors grinned putting his cards down.

“We’re playing go fish though!” Wind exclaimed.

Four blinked at them. “I thought we were doing uno…”

Legend groaned, hitting his head on the table. It sounded so loud that Warriors was a little worried that he had knocked himself unconscious.

Wild cackled, a sound which caused Hyrule next to him jump. He threw a card down. “I nope your straight!”

Hyrule blinked at everyone. Not saying anything.

Suddenly, Malon’s father walked in and sat next to Wind. He regarded the state of everyone, Legend with his head down, Wild gleefully cackling, Hyrule looking around with a confused expression, Wind watching with the most nuetral face possible, Four who was staring at the cards all out on the table quietly, and Warriors who was currently priding in his win.

“Seems like this is going well.” He mused, chuckling at the display in front of him.

Wind grinned. “Yeah, this is fun!”

“Has anyone seen one of my rings?” Malon’s voice called.

“Nope!” Warriors called out.

If it was possible, Wind’s face got even more neutral and expressionless.

Wild was not the most organized person. But he sword that he had put a comet shard in his slate. as he searched, he came up with nothing. Groaning, he glanced at the night sky.

“You okay there?” Wind asked, twirling a small dagger in his off hand.

“Yeah, I thought I had a comet shard, but apparently not. I guess I’ll just have to get one later.” Wild grinned at the promise of adventure.

Wind smiled. “Of course!” His hand came to his bag, before falling short to just resting on top of the bag. Strangely enough, Wild thought he imagined a slight yellow glow emitting from the bag.

But if it was glowing, it had stopped.

Time watched Wind carefully. He had noticed Wind’s bag getting suspiciously full. They hadn’t come across any new towns but already Wind’s bag had a bunch of stuff and was slightly bulging.

Time had suspicions, but over the entire trip its seemed as if it has only grown. But strangely enough, Wind has not been buying anything for himself to keep.

Time had noticed it two switches ago when Wind’s bag was heavier. Time had thought nothing of it then, just assuming that maybe he has been keeping souvenirs and maybe rocks or something. But clearly something was going on.

Time was determined to find out exactly what.

Four’s known something’s been up since the start. Maybe it was when one of the daggers that he made vanished. Perhaps it could of been the way that Wind’s bag clacked and clinked together. Perhaps it was that wherever Wind went, things disappeared. He noticed when a man was searching for a feather that he had, he noticed when Legend somehow lost a shiny rock. (It really was only shiny as Legend said, he really didn’t care much for it.)

Four also noticed how Wind’s bag mysteriously got more and more stuff in it. He noticed how he always went to it after every conversation with someone.

One day, in Sky’s hyrule, Four decided to confront him.

He strolled up to Wind who was sitting next to his bag leisurely, watching Sky and the rest of the chain as they flew through the sky. Minus Time, Legend, Four and Wind, everyone was outside looking at all the different loftwings.

“Hey Wind!” Four cheerfully said, standing next to Wind. Wind startled, glancing up to Four quickly.

“Oh hello Four!” Wind responded with the same amount of cheer.

“You know, I’ve noticed something strange.” Four started. “It involves you it seems.”

Wind scratched his neck. “Oh really?”

Four grinned. “Yes. It seems that your bag there is getting quite heavy…” he motioned to it. “Much heavier for someone who hasn’t bought anything.”

Wind shrugged, Four could clearly tell he was getting a little nervous by how his shoulders tensed by the littlest bit.

“What do you mean? Its been the same weight as always.”

“Really, I highly doubt that with how much stuff its been getting..” Wind was sweating now.

“Okay fine!” Wind exclaimed. Legend looked over at Wind’s sudden outburst before he returned to his book uninterested and lazily turned a page.

“I’m a pirate. Its always been natural to me.. I’ve been uhh…” Wind trailed off, wringing his hands together.

“Stealing?” Four supplied, looking at Wind as he stared at the ground.

“Yeah…”

Four shook his head. “Of course. That makes a lot of sense. How long?”

Wind blinked at Four. “Wait you’re not.? Oh well uhm. Like the last ten switches? Maybe more..”

“Can I ask why you stole items?”

“I guess it was instinct? But also like.. I realized that this quest has to come to an end somehow… and well…” Wind sighed.

“You’ve been taking because its natural and because you want memos from this trip?” Four inquired, glancing at the slightly taller hero.

He nodded.

“I’m sure you can get some memos from other ways! Besides, we all might want a memo.”

They sat there, basking in the fresh air of Sky’s home. Watching their brothers flying in the sky.

Sasha: welcome to my room of candles in unnecessary places.

Sasha: *turns around and cloak instantly catches on fire*

BONUS:

Anne: Marcy, do not go into that room.

Wild: Am I in trouble?

Twilight: Guess.

Wild: No?

Twilight: Try again.

From an Lu weekly prompt, I bring to you… MAIL SHENANIGANS!!

I guess this could also be called.. “From one place to another, a postman’s job is never complete” as the actual title of it.

"Here, can you please deliver this message to Link?" The young princess (or not princess- this is before that time) asked.

"Of course, you can count on me."

"Here, a letter to my grandson, Link." The old smith handed him a carefully wrapped letter.

The postman tucked it carefully into his bag.

"Oh- and before you go. Take this. You might be safer."

He handed him a knife of sharpened metal, clearly well made.

The postman blinked at the large box the women who lived on the ranch gave him.

"Give this to Link please, oh! and before I forget- Here. Take this for all of your hard work."

The postman smiled at the gift.

"Hey- you! I am in need of your assistance!" A voice called out to the postman.

The postman turned his head, being greeted with a hylian dressed in a purple bunny suit.

"First of all- I have a letter to Mr Sir Hero, or also goes by Link. Secondly, will you care for some of my wares?"

Needless to say, the postman did not buy a single thing- He was far too broke already.

"Here, could you give this to Link, my friend?" A raspy voice asked.

The postman nodded, taking the letter given to him. The old man smiled gently at him.

"Thank you." he whispered.

"Hey, I was told you can bring letters to Link while he's on his adventure with his extended family! Could you bring ours?"

Children crowded around him, holding aloft letters to him.

"Yeah- I can."

The postman blinked at his predicament.

A huge stack of letters sat beside him, and a bowl of soup sat in front of him.

"Eat more dear, you must be famished from your adventure!" the old lady poured him some water.

The girl only added more letters to the pile.

"Please, take this letter to General Link, or just Link. He is currently on an adventure. I've been told you can deliver this to him?"

The postman nodded, taking the letter from the queen.

The queen smiled, her armor clanking as she strolled away.

"Let me guess- a letter to Link?"

"You know it! Wait- how did you know that?"

The postman smiled at the beetle backpack merchant.

"I have a keen sort of eye, one could say."

"Here, I have letters for Link, Link, Link, Mr Hero Sir or Link, Link, Link, Link, General Link and Link."

"Mr hero sir?" muttered the one with the blue scarf.

"Don't ask about it, 'General Link'."

"Jeez- touchy much?"

"Here- payment for all of your hard work."

A mailman's job is never over. I will continue to bring letters no matter what.

He shivered at the cold breeze that swept through the mountains.

Finding the house, he walked up and knocked.

There was some rustling, but soon a middle-aged man appeared, peering at the postman carefully.

"And to whom shall I grant the pleasure to?"

"I have a letter for someone who lives here. Who goes by the name of... Link?"

"That would be me."

EXTRA BONUS

"Hello! I have some boxes and letters to the Goddess Hylia?"

"Yes- that is me."

"So, all of these boxes and letters are from the nine Links."

"Ah- which letter or box did the one who wears no pants give you?"

"This box right here."

"Okay then- not going to open that. Thank you for all you have done."

"It was my pleasure. After all, that's what we angels do, we live to bring joy and happiness. We live to serve."

He was enveloped with a warm hug.

"You truly work too much."

I love this idea sm.

I also like to combine the Movie verse and the Show verse.. So I have Jay as a nervous person with anxiety when meeting new people. If he knows the person, then he rambles non-stop even.

But otherwise.. I love these concepts for Jay and might completely rewrite Prime Empire.. or at least I’mma try to incorporate some of these into my fics. I love this sm.

Jay!

Hell yeah! The lightning ninja. Established early on as someone who literally cannot stop talking, the comic relief, the creative, scrappy guy all about reaching new heights! When we see his flashback sequence in s9, the concept that they stick with is the idea that Jay is a dreamer. He’s pretty ambitious always trying to craft something that will take him above and beyond (as in he was literally trying to make a flying machine), and his element helps symbolise it. He’s into being flashy like lightning, and tries to climb higher (relating to the sky). This ambition does lead to him having a lot of insecurities though, and he has some interesting ways of dealing with them but I’ll elaborate later.

Jay’s backstory when it’s told in s1, is the most straight forward. I mean, he’s the only ninja with both of his parents on regular speaking terms, although he grew up on a junkyard, it’s pretty mundane and he has an air of normalcy about him, which he seems to be trying to escape. He does really mundane stuff, like poetry and comic book reading (compared to Cole who abandoned art school to go mountain climbing shirtless). I kinda hc Jay having gone to public school and immediately getting bullied because he was raised in a junkyard and his parents are weird, bc those insecurities have gotta come from somewhere. He’s pretty impressionable too, getting fixated on video games and Cliff Gordon (and those also probably influenced his uhh outlook on women and romance).

Jay has a lot of insecurities. I’ve mentioned his upbringing but also his low self esteem is the crux of his true potential episode. Jay’s over the top bravado is him trying desperately to make others like him, almost to the point that he didn’t even tell anyone about the real problems he had (being a snake). The s3-4 love triangle plot follows the same themes; Jay feeling insecure and threatened by Cole, only to reveal that secretly he missed being Cole’s best friend and he hadn’t even confronted those feelings until s4. Again in s6, Nadakhan straight up says that Jay makes jokes to hide his deeper insecurities. And yeah I thinks it’s understandable why he would be a little insecure considering he’s living with shirtless mountain climber Cole, actually gets btiches Kai, literally computer for brain Zane, badass Samurai x Nya, and grandson of god chosen one Lloyd. On top of that, Jay is the most panicky ninja and the main comic relief of the team.

I think his greatest strength is his tenacity to succeed even when he’s at a low. As a junkyard boy, he learned to scrap together quick solutions out of barely anything as shown in Hunted, and when all his friends were captured in s6, he scrapped together a new team, and even after quitting the ninja he was able to make it big and score a job as a tv host. Nadakhan’s characterisation is supposed to parallel Jay in that, like Jay, Nadakhan also relies on what resources he had, and his own wits. Jay’s “fake it til you make it” personality has its use in how he doesn’t stop trying and can find ways to make the most out of his situation. He kinda embodies the message of Lego, being able to build his way to a solution. He’s a dreamer, with his head in the clouds, which makes sense because that’s usually where lightning is.

Although after all that’s happened to Jay, I have sort of a theory/headcanon to do with his perception of reality. Because Jay, since the start, already has some association with not being completely honest. I think Jay having some sort of detachment with reality is really interesting and it’s only briefly touched upon in the show. But yknow especially after s6 I think he should because a) Jay literally learned that season that he was adopted, and whilst he still loves his parents dearly, that’s still gonna shake him to find out that he doesn’t know a lot about his past and heritage, b) everyone he loves keep dying and undying again and again and at that point I think death would be even ever so slightly desensitised c) Jay literally bent reality to his will. He is one of the only two people who remember things that never happened, and all the tragedy that happened in his life was erased and promptly ignored. He never tells the other ninja. He’s never seen going back to Cliff Gordon’s house. We don’t see him go back for Echo. He isn’t shown to try to look for his mother.

(Crystalised part 1 spoilers)

Ninjago, intentionally or not, does play around with Jay and reality and his sanity in s9 and Crystalised. In s9, whilst Jay knows what’s going on, he just loses any semblance of self preservation and gives up with even the idea of being stressed about a situation so hopeless, and is weirdly at peace with it all. (Spoilers here) In Crystalised, Jay believes Nya is in cups of water and decides to become a hermit, cutting himself off from the world and kinda losing it. Jay tends to lose his grip on reality/lose faith in his situation and I think it might be because he’s been through a lot of things that have already made him question his life (s6). Also being separated fro Nya, who he not only loves but also is the only one who can possibly understand what he went through in s6, may have played a role in this.

It’s a shame Prime Empire didn’t really use this, since Prime Empire had all the pieces to have an escapism themed arc for Jay, which I think would’ve made sense since I think Jay could’ve used escapism to cope with his hardships, even before s6, even being a ninja is an escape from his boring junkyard life). Prime Empire provides a fun, totally harmless (not) adventure than you can physically use to run away from reality. Jay was popular there, and the most skilled there and it was supposed to be his season. I mean it would have been cool if the reason why half of Ninjago entered prime empire is because they’re also traumatised and want to leave too (just last season they were attacked by fire snakes and eldritch horrors). But they don’t really explore it that much so there’s some missed potential there (one day, I’ll rewrite this season).

Although we can see, ever since s6, some of Jay’s insecurities are alleviated. It might just be the writer change, but post 7 Jay seems to be a lot goofier that pre 7 Jay, (the uwuification), and I’m interpreting that as him no longer feeling like he needs to fake bravado in front of everyone else. And that’s nice. Jay has some really good developement, and is a really enjoyable character to watch because he’s just so endearing in my opinion. In conclusion, I like Jay’s arc and his consistent character traits and his character development, and he’s just a really interesting character.

Pokemon: Xerneas to a poison type.

Pokedex entries:

Verson 1: Xerneas the nuclear pokemon. A poison type. Due to living in harsh conditions nearby a nuclear plant, this pokemon has become nuclear and violent.

Verson 2: Xerneas, the nuclear pokemon. A poison type. This legendary pokemon varies from its Kalos verson. It is violent and hostile, spewing poison to those it dislikes.
