Revered Deity, Unknown Hero (1/10)

This is a special one! Thank you @bokettochild for allowing me to write a fic using your God of War!Warriors idea! It was super fun to write. :)

Read chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Divine and Draconic Differences

The skies were clear and the weather was pleasant as the heroes congregated outside of Wild and Flora’s Hateno home. It was peaceful, a nice and welcomed reprieve from the era before.

Wind, a still growing teenager, was overflowing with energy, tugging around an equally as eager Hyrule, to explore everything possible. He had his spyglass out, sweeping across the vast land of the Wild Era. Every so often, he’d hand his spyglass over to the traveler to allow him a go.

His telescope was focused on a chasm far out, watching the remaining wisps of gloom fade into the air. Mesmerized by the red-purple, he didn’t fully register the white-blue on the edge until it had blocked his view.

“Wild! What the fuck is that?!” Keeping his focus on the serpentine creature in the sky, he heard Wild approach his side with the familiar sound of him activating his slate’s scope mode.

“That’s Naydra, one of the dragons.”

That… didn’t look like a dragon. Dropping his spyglass from his eye, Wind fixed Wild with a stare. The scarred hero stared back.

“Don’t look at me like that. There’s three dragons, they’re all servants of the springs. Naydra happens to be the servant of the Spring of Wisdom, which is,” he grabbed Wind’s shoulder and spun him around, pointing to a mountain peak covered in snow, “right on that peak over there.” Wind moved his gaze to the mountain peak, following Wild’s finger. He could see the vague shape of pillars.

“Huh… so you have dragons too? They look different from mine.” Wind began walking back to the rest of the group, who had been listening in on the conversation, no matter how hard they tried hiding it. Wild took a few seconds to decipher the information, and ran to catch up with the sailor.

“What do you mean “you too”? I didn’t know anyone else had dragons!” Wind shrugged.

“Like I said, mine are different, like Valoo. He was a sky spirit I met during my first adventure. And the only one that didn’t try to kill me.” He plopped down next to Warriors, who offered the young hero one of the apples he had.

“Still! Does anyone else have dragons?” All hands went up except for the smithy, who looked utterly confused as he mouthed dragons over and over, eyes swirling different colors.

“In my defense, all of my dragons wanted to kill me.” Hyrule exclaimed, being seconded by Time, Twilight, Warriors, and Legend.

The five heroes delved into further conversation about their draconic enemies. Wind wiggled into the group, chattering about the gleeoks he fought. Wild chimed in about having to fight gleeoks as well, explaining about the King Gleeoks residing in hard-to-reach locations.

“The dragons I know serve Hylia.” A few grimaced at the mention of the goddess, but the dislike was outweighed by the curiosity of Sky’s dragons.

“The three of them were assigned to watch over different provinces of the Surface. They also protected the sacred flames, and held parts of the Song of the Hero.”

Wild was immediately upon Sky, spitting out questions with very little breaths between, all centered on what they looked like, if they had any powers, and anything of the sort.

“Of course they have powers, they guard and protect the Triforce. Even the gods wouldn’t be able to reach it with them guarding the key to it.

Gods and Goddesses were a touchy subject. Some were openly hostile towards them, others in the middle, and some revered them. Yet, the topic always raised an interesting thought; just how many are there?

“Do you think there’s more than just Hylia?” Came Four’s voice, eyes shining a curious violet.

“There’s the light spirits in my era,” Twilight rested his chin in his palm, “Ordona, Lanayru, Eldin, and Faron. They protect the regions they share names with.”

“Oh, and the Golden Goddesses! They’re the ones that submerged Hyrule!” Wind piped up, leaning against Warriors, who grimaced as the sailor’s sharp elbow dug into his thigh.

A soft hum emitted from Time, who had been running his fingers along his markings, a pensive look across his face. Wild bounded off of Sky, and settled next to Twilight.

“I know of one! Legends talk about a Fierce Deity… they say that if one dons his armor and mask they gain godlike power.”

Time gave a sharp inhale, and his fingers dropped from his face.

Others shook their heads, either not having any other gods, goddesses, or deities in their time, or having the same ones as someone else.

“Not anymore.”

Eight heads turned towards Sky, who had found a stick and was whittling absentmindedly, a stormy look across his face. They all shared a few glances- curiosity, and a little bit of fear.

‘Not anymore’?

“Oh! There is another- the Deity of War.” Hyrule broke the silence, fingers tying blades of grass into circles while his gaze rested on the other heroes.

“Isn’t that the same as the Fierce Deity?” Twilight cocked his head.

Legend scoffed.

“Many think that, but”, he stood up and turned so he was facing all eight heroes, “they are different. He’s the Deity of War, exactly as his name implies; a powerhouse on the battlefield, calculated and quick. The Fierce Deity doesn’t focus on war, he focuses on ferocity, on power, on courage. It’s in their names, it really is that simple.”

The veteran launched further into an explanation about the two, pointing out the similarities and differences, both surface level and deeper. Pointed ears all upright, revealing without words how invested they were in this newly learned-about deity.

Wild shot up out of his seat and ran to the house, slamming the door open, sounds of rustling and clanging could be heard, and the heroes remaining shared concerned glances. The current era’s hero came racing back out- not bothering to shut the door- with a book in his grasp.

“Legends Throughout the Ages” read the title of the book in intricate gold. The book itself seemed to be in good condition, missing the normal wear and tear they had seen on other things in the champion’s era.

“I know about him! Flora was talking about some books she had found in the castle,” he thumbed through the pages, “and she thought I would like this one… Aha!” Wild smoothed the book to lay flat on pages marked with blue fabric scraps.

On the pages were long paragraphs of stories and legends of the deity, exploring where he originated from and what eras his legends came from. Taking up a sizable portion of the right page was an image.

“Hey, he kind of looks like Warriors!”

Wind grabbed the book from Wild and pranced back over to the captain, who only raised an eyebrow at him, his now finished apple set off to the side. The sailor raised the book next to Warriors and basked in the ‘oohs’ when they realized that their youngest was right.

The picture and the captain looked nearly identical; only differentiated by the gold and blue markings on the deity’s face, blank eyes, and the color of the armor- a vibrant gold- and the tunic- a pale cream.

Snatching the book, Warriors scanned over the page, lingering on the photo a little longer.

“I don’t see it.”

That caused an uproar, as Wind and Wild both pounced on the captain, claiming that he was wrong and everyone could very well see it, while Hyrule just looked at the captain like he had grown a second head. The others groaned quietly.

There goes the relaxing day they were hoping for.

Could you elaborate on the God Of War Warriors?

Oof, this has been around for a bit, but I never go too into depth so- here we go!

Warriors is the only Link out of the Chain who is not cannon to the Zelda timeline due to the fact that he is the product of the unlawful union of two companies and therefore not of House Nintendo, but rather his other creator, Koei Tecmo. He is, affectionately, Nintendo's bastard child :)

Now, in universe, there is no way that would make sense, but there's also the fact that no one has freaking heard of this guy despite the fact that he's fought foes on the same level and even higher than some of the other heroes. What gives? Flora can name the Hero of Legend, talk of the heroes of Twilight, Time, Skies and the Winds yet the Hero of Warriors goes forgotten? They literally know about Sky, there is no way Wars is just "too ancient" to be remembered.

My answer to this sprung on me when I wrote my Eldritch Heroes post back in 2021. Warriors isn't remembered as a Hero of Courage because he is, instead, regarded as Hyrule's God of War.

Warriors is set apart from all other heroes in that his quest centered not around solving puzzles, completing dungeons, and fighting various bosses in order to gain the tools to fight Ganon, but rather on the fact that Hyrule was actively at war with various threats, and it wasn't only a hero's duty to save the kingdom, but the duty of the army, of which he was part. Warriors is the only hero of his kind and essentially embodies, at least to future generations, the ideals of what it is to be a soldier and a knight, if not a hero (there are other heroes for that, but hero is unattainable for some, knight/soldier is not).

At first I simply meant that Warriors would be revered by future generations as a war deity, but then I said "screw it!" and decided he literally is the Deity of War.

"But, Ketto" I hear some saying, "what about the Fierce Deity? Isn't he the deity of war?"

No, my darlings, he is the deity of the fierce, it's there in his name. He is the guardian of the wielders of courage, the embodiment of ferocity, not of war.

Warriors is the one whose heart beats to the beat of a battle song, whose blade never dulls and whose eyes light with holy fire when he stands on a field of battle. He's the one who sees the souls of the fallen soldiers, the one blessed and cursed with the weight of lives to take and spare as he pleases. Blood spilled on the field is a sacrifice that makes him stronger, even if he doesn't realize so. This is the hero who embodies war, who embodies the suffering and sacrifice that is endured, the one who is cause, sufferer, and victor.

He is not remembered as a hero, he is remembered as a god.

I have some lore on this, and some explanations on the "how" and "why", but they're actually huge spoilers for a big project of mine, so I'll just leave it here for now :)

uh oh you hurt his demon, whoospies

He may be a big softie but DO NOT push his buttons.

Hello everyone! I'm "new" to the fandom :D (LIES i have been lurking for the last two years before summoning the courage to draw for it, yes, i am like that, unfortunately)

#good omens #aziraphale #crowley #aziracrow #ineffable husbands #ineffable partners #i just wanted more sword wielding aziraphale ok? thats a thing that makes me so interested about him #like he is created to be God's heavenly warrior and not just ANY warrior. but be one of THE guardians of eden. I imagine that God #wouldn't just hand that job to just anyone ya know?#the dichotomy of aziraphale: 1) this heavenly warrior who is created for war and to defend his charge viciously against all threats #and 2) this softie who does not like to fight and anxiously worries about things. who frets and fusses about his clothes and all #the gentle things in life. who loves food and tartan blankets and soft waistcoats and creamy trench coats and books and nifty #glasses and being comfortable. but most of all he loves his demon more than anything. the very thing he was supposed to fight against.#the very demon he was supposed to hate with all of his might. and whoopsies he has have fallen in love with the demon irrevocably.#AAAH AZIRAPHALE I LOVE YOU SO MUCH YOU HAVE NO IDEA #sha's artsies uwu

It's been awhile, couple hundred of years.

Give or take.

It's not that bad, Cyno.

Just a bit of ache. A bit of yearning.

Ah, and missing you for all of the eternal life I was cursed with.

Selfish desires of the heart that was once moved.

#haino #cytham #alhaitham x cyno #cyno #alhaitham #cyhaino #immortal alhaitam and cyno who is long gone #this is one of the au's that are rattling in my brain #alhaitham as history keeper and immortal being #never minding his immortality #just gaining knowledge and observing and noting down #until he meets cyno #cyno is a warrior #a general that is a vessel for a god #challeges him and fascinates him #and alhaitham for the first time becomes part of the history he used only to observe #because cyno fights in the war because of his loyality and conviction #suddenly theres so much meaning in small things that alhaitham never discovered before #so much meaning in life #but human life is short and ficle #and for cyno it also ends #neither peacefully nor of old age #he dies by blade and blood spilling #but he is remembered by his kin #they build him a statue #his name will be remembered in books #as for alhaitham - he will continue wandering history #missing him deeply #maybe immortality is in fact a curse

Revered Deity, Unknown Hero (2/10)

Read chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

A Deity’s Call

“Kin… Kin… Kin…”

Time had quite the selection of strange artifacts and items on hand, most tucked away in an enchanted pocket in his pack, charmed to answer to his magical signature, and his alone. Even when seeing no use, they required maintenance, a bit of polishing here and there. His repertoire also brought about memories and questions he could never dream of answering.

So here he was on watch, cradling the one item he swore to never use- or touch- again. A smooth wooden copy of his face stared back at him, even with the lack of eyes, he felt the weight of the stare. The mask buzzed and hummed with magic, the deity behind it desperate to reach out.

“Kin… Kin… Kin…”

The Fierce Deity mask nearly felt like it was vibrating from the sheer amount of magic waves crashing about inside it, the deity of its supply chanting a single word like a mantra in his head.

Kin.

This was not the first time the deity had reacted like this. Far from it, actually. He remembers, decades back, when he was plucked from his timeline to fight in a mutli-dimensional and multi-era war, to provide aid to the Hyrulian Army and other time-displaced people to bring down an obsessive sorceress.

Back then, the Fierce Deity’s mantra had been constant, a humming magic in the back of his mind from sunrise to sunset. For being trapped in a mask, the emotions of the deity bled through, dowsing its words in what could only be classified as a feeling of completeness.

“Kin… Kin…. Kin….”

What was curious, is how the mantra calmed down when around the captain. Any time the hero was in his line of sight, the deity’s words would fade and its magic would bubble with something safe.

He remembers vividly, when Warriors had been locked in a room and trapped on the battlefield by Cia- her desire to claim the era’s hero as hers fulfilled- the roar the Fierce Deity had let out, the raw, divinely ancient magic ricocheting through his skull; it sounded almost primal, in a sense.

Time doesn’t startle- he doesn’t- when a hand rests on his shoulder, his hands clench around the mask, only loosening when the magic warms up to an unbearable degree.

“Hyrule to Old Man, are you in there?”

Warriors. The captain’s voice was thick with sleep, a yawn breaking through his sentence. Time shifted to face the younger hero.

“Yes, I was just… thinking.” Warriors snorted.

“Don’t hurt yourself.” Time, unable to resist, flicked the captain’s arm, a small smile of triumph on his face when he heard the responding squeak.

“Kin… Kin… Kin…”

Scooting over, he patted the log; an offering. By the looks of it, Warriors would not be getting any more rest. Being plagued by nightmares was nothing new to any of the heroes, neither was staying awake from them.

The captain took the offer, settling down next to Time and leaning against him, head settling on his shoulder. He reached a careful hand out to brush the mask Time still held.

“I remember that mask. You never let it out of your sight, even slept with it under your pillow.” Warriors leaned heavily into Time, who was preparing a retort about how the captain couldn’t judge when he slept with a dagger.

“Kin…”

The thrumming magic turned into steady pulses, washing over the magic resting inside the two heroes. Time, long since used to the deity’s magic, did not lull. A sigh ghosted over his arm. Craning his neck, he watched Warriors’ eyes flutter shut, peace sprouting across his features.

Time’s ears flicked, honing in on the sudden deep, steady breathing of the man next to him. Gently, he eased the captain to lay flat with his head resting in his lap, the mask set on the other side of him.

“You put him to sleep, didn’t you?” A whisper.

Only the content hum of magic answered.
