Traysi, head editor of the Lucky Clover Gazette, has been kidnapped by the Yiga Clan! Will Link be able to save his friend before she falls victim to his not-greatest-but-still-somewhat-frustrating enemies?
Chapter 2/3 (12,563 words)
“A lot of people owe me favors,” Traysi says with a loose hand wave. “Got intel on Tabantha Frontier conditions from those mushroom hunters by the st—base of operations, made it to the bridge with half a day’s brisk power-walk, hitched a ride with this traveling band all the way to Outskirt Stable, took a quick break to interview them for a comeback story in the Gazette, and then promised a trio of Gerudo women free space in the personal ads if they’d escort me through the canyon. Not my preferred way to find a partner, but they seemed to like the idea of going hands-off with the whole courtship thing. Honestly, those gals seemed much more interested in the journey of finding a man than actually finding a man. If only my sister felt the same way—but nooooo, she says she’s in love, and now I have to tolerate Ponnick hanging around the stabl—base of operations, it is a base of operations, flirting all day like an imbecile while I’m editing down Penn’s alliterative headlines to the three per issue he’s permitted in his contract.”
Traysi takes a deep breath, then raises an eyebrow at Link’s stiff posture. “What? I’m just telling you what happened.”
Read the rest on ao3 because this chapter is very long >:)
This one was like 2 years in the making. I had to switch horse models in between & finish the Yiga suits as well. But it was a dream of mine to make horse armor one day! With @lordsooga modelling for me, @Die_PhotoWG (insta) taking the pictures and Smilla of course!
She did so well letting us put that armor on her, and then she just stood there, chilling. It was lightweight and loose enough that she could have shaken it all off if she wanted. And she did once xD Many flies that day..
But her owners were there shaking treats to make her look and distracting her. Imagine a baby photoshoot.
:) So yeah. Here is Smilla in the BOTW Ancient Horse Armor
