Impa breathes out slowly, shifting into a ready position as she faces down her opponent.
Volga stares back at her, firelight shining off of his spear as he also stands ready, and they move at the same time, Volga lunging forward as Impa raises her naginata to block him.
She succeeds, but doesn’t have enough time to even think of attacking back before he’s swinging at her again, spear jabbing quickly at her defenses. It’s all Impa can do for several moments to just avoid being struck, Volga’s speed greater than one would expect.
Sweat beads on Impa’s brow as Volga batters at her, her heart pounding as she narrowly avoids a swing of his spear. If he manages to land a solid hit, it’ll all be over.
Impa grits her teeth and finally manages to fight back, breaking out of the pattern she’d found herself in and thrusting her weapon at Volga.
Their weapons lock, the two straining against each other. Impa's arms shake as she strains against him, Volga’s strength impressive and much greater than her own. So Impa pushes for only for a moment longer before sliding nimbly out of the way, ducking down and swiping at him. Volga moves at the last second, smoke puffing from his nose, and the two whirl around each other in a dance of weapons, Impa trying to dart in and land a hit, Volga methodically blocking her attacks.
Sweat is pouring down her brow now, but Volga doesn’t look like he’s having an easy time of it either, panting as they both dodge and attack with equal frequency.
They're almost completely evenly matched.
Volga twirls his spear in a series of short jabs, and Impa lunges out of the way just barely too slow, the blunt end smacking her. An ache shoots up her side, but she isn’t badly hurt, and she notes the brief opening Volga leaves as he tries to get her while she’s reeling.
Impa avoids another thrust, and prepares herself for the next attack. She purposely leaves an opening this time, just large enough to be noticeable, and Volga takes it, lunging towards her with his eyes gleaming.
But instead of hitting her, Impa uses his momentum against him, twisting around at the last second and hooking her foot around his leg.
Volga stumbles, his eyes wide with surprise, and Impa whips around and knocks him flat on the ground with her naginata, whirling it around and pointing the tip at his neck.
He looks up at her and she looks down at him, both of them breathing hard, the smell of sweat and smoke in the air.
Impa smiles.
“I win.”
Volga snorts, resting his head back on the ground as he lightly pants. “Seems you still have some tricks I haven’t figured out.”
“Well I can’t reveal all of the Sheikah’s secrets,” Impa smirks, and Volga rolls his eyes.
Impa pulls her naginata away from his neck, and reaches down, offering him a hand up. Volga takes it, unlike the last time they sparred, and doesn’t immediately let go once he’s upright.
“Impressive,” Volga says, mouth twitching up into a smile. “Not many can momentarily best a dragon. Someday you might even properly beat me.”
“...Excuse me? Which one of us was flat on his back a moment ago?” Impa replies with a brow raised, and Volga tosses his head.
“I gave you a handicap. I used no fire, and never transformed.”
“We both agreed to not use any magic or anything of the sort before we started, we both had a handicap,” Impa says pointedly, and fights the smile that tries to form at the face Volga makes.
“...MaybeI let you win,” he huffs, and Impa can’t help her laugh.
“You're too honorable not to give it your all, Sir Dragon. Admit it Volga, my skill in weaponry bests your own,” she says teasingly, and though Volga looks away, it isn’t fast enough for Impa to miss the fact that there’s still a smile twitching on his lips.
“...Perhaps. Pity there were no witnesses to your supposed victory.”
Impa opens her mouth to argue, but closes it as she realizes Volga’s right. There’s nobody in the cave the Gorons have designated as a sparring area, probably because it’s rather late at night. They had no audience for their spar except for the small lizards that sometimes hide under the rocks.
Which unfortunately means Volga is correct.
Volga laughs at her expression, and Impa swats him on the arm, unable to stop her own smile.
“Well the next time I beat you, I’ll do it in front of an audience so that no one can deny my victory,” she says firmly, walking to the wall and placing her weapon against it. Volga does the same, and they lean against the rocks, both still catching their breath from their fight.
“I don’t plan on losing,” Volga says, looking over at her with a gleam in his eyes. “I won’t hold back.”
“I wouldn’t want you to,” Impa replies. “The only way to improve oneself is to train against a real challenge, and your style is quite unique. Before coming here, I knew very little about fighting techniques aside from my tribe’s, and that of the Hylians.”
“You’ve improved since then,” Volga says, watching a lizard skitter under a rock. “I can tell a marked difference between when we first fought and our spar tonight. You’re truly growing in your skill.”
He smiles again, and they look at each other, an odd sensation sweeping through Impa’s chest. It’s similar to the excitement she’d felt when she managed to knock Volga down, but not... exactly.
It’s certainly different from the annoyance and near hatred that she used to feel whenever she’d see one of Volga’s smirks, and she knows he feels the same, his grins less smug, his pride eased more to simply confidence when they’re together. Somehow they’ve become friends despite their less-then-friendly interactions at first, and Impa enjoys having another warrior around to talk to.
Especially because of the other feelings she sometimes gets when she looks at him now.
...Not ones I should be dwelling on, she thinks hastily.
“It’s rather late,” she notes with a clearing of her throat, and Volga nods. “And I unfortunately have a meeting in the morning.”
“My condolences,” Volga chuckles, and Impa smirks.
“Don’t be too happy. You’re supposed to be there as well.”
Volga grimaces, and Impa smiles, groaning a bit as she stretches. She’s going to be sore tomorrow, but the spar was more than worth it. Impa stops leaning against the wall then, retrieving her naginata in order to place it back in her room, and turns back to Volga to bid him goodnight.
And startles when he suddenly leans close to her, his blue eyes trailing along her face.
Impa blinks at his closeness, the heat that had just begun to leave her face returning full-force. She meets his gaze, and he looks back, a faint smell of fire and smoke coming off him.
Then Volga softly nuzzles his face against hers.
“Goodnight Impa,” he says in a surprisingly quiet voice, his breath against her skin making the hair on her neck stand up.
Then he pulls back, and leaves.
Impa watches him go with a shockingly warm feeling sweeping through her middle, and she raises a hand to the cheek he’d nuzzled against, her heart doing an awful lot of leaping around.
It must be a dragon thing, she thinks almost dizzily, her fingers cool against her hot face. Platonic, surely.
...Surely?
Impa stands by herself in silence for another few moments, trying to get her wits about her, and blows out a slow breath as a smile slips onto her face without her permission.
Then she leaves as well, glad now that nobody is around to see the color of her face.
...
The memory fades, and Impa looks down at the scale she’d been rubbing between her fingers, orangish-red and shimmering in the lantern light.
She holds it up and studies the small details she knows so well, the way the color changes when she tilts it, the faint warmth it gives off. She’s not sure why she still has it after so many years.
It’s not like it makes the memories hurt any less.
Voices drift past the half-open flap of her tent, and Impa’s ear twitches at the soft sound of Link’s voice, Proxi chiming in answer. Her son's quiet laugh reaches her, and the sound equally warms her heart and tears at the ragged edges of it.
Impa sighs as Link's footsteps recede, his voice fading away, and she looks at the maps she's supposed to be using to plan out a route.
She breathes out, running her thumb along the scale one more time, then returns it to the small pouch at her hip, closing it tight, and putting her thoughts from Volga.
It's harder then it should be.

zelda villain sleep headcanons?
The villains sleep headcanons
Ganondorf
Sleeps like a log, seriously there is nothing that wakes Ganondorf up.
He's also a blanket hog, and during colder seasons, he'll sleep with an unholy amount of blankets, quilts, and anything he can use to keep himself warm.
Snores loudly too, so if hearing a lawnmower all night long is white noise to you then he's your man.
Ghirahim
He claims that he doesn't have the need to sleep because he is perfect, but that is a huge lie. Ghirahim needs his 8 hrs of sleep otherwise he'll be insufferable for the whole day.
When he sleeps he doesn't move or make any noises he just plops into the bed and falls asleep in whatever position he landed on the bed (and good luck trying to make him scoot over to his side of the bed if he decides to sleep in a diagonal position)
Zant
His sleep schedule is all sorts of fucked up but that's on his own volition. He sleeps whenever he feels like it and if he has nothing going on during the day he'll just go and sleep.
His sleeping pattern can go from sleeping 1 hour and feeling fresh as a daisy and sleeping for three days straight.
Also has these curtains that make the room super dark so it feels like it's night time all day long so its easier for him to sleep.
Volga
Sleeps anywhere. He's usually a light sleeper since he tends to be on high alert at all times.
Whenever he has time for himself, he uses it to sleep and rest properly.
So he'll probably out be cold for a whole day, but if he has something to do later in the day he'll try to wake up by then but it's not guaranteed.
Wizzro
A very light sleeper so god forbid that anyone wakes him up.
To prevent this he has quite the set up in his room with white noise to make him sleep better.
He's also immune to melatonin and those sleepy time teas (idk how they're called the ones w the bear)
Kohga
Sleep talks a lot. Its usually him rambling on about how he despises Link or about his elaborate plans for the week.
Has quite the collection of banana plushies, including a Yellow Junie squishmallow.
Tosses and turns a lot too and most of the time ends up sleeping on the floor because he falls off the bed and doesn't even care.
Sooga
Quite the heavy sleeper as well. He has a very strict sleep schedule and tries to get his 8 hours of sleep as often as possible.
When sleeping, he doesn't move at all he just sleeps in a single position.
Astor
Survives on red bull and spite so his sleep is rather minimal.
Slip in some melatonin gummies to have him turn into a 'honk shoo' type of man. Seriously once he falls asleep he passes out and wakes up 3-4 business days later.

LINKTOBER DAY 16: DRAGONS
So glad Volga exists so I don’t have to struggle so much LOL. He is also in my LU AU and so he gets the obligatory new design. Anyone who I can get my hands on to fit in the AU gets a design. Will I stop? No
Also found out that metal bit on his chin ISN’T a beard, it’s part of his helmet and I’m devastated

Here’s my fun hyrule Warriors au I’ve been batting around in my head for a while
I’ve been thinking about this for months, but now I’m actually sharing it so here we go—
Years before the war, Impa is a young fresh-out-of-training Sheikah warrior, and is given her first assignment: go along with an ambassador entourage to the Eldin caves for an extended visit.
The ambassador is there to talk with both the Gorons and the Dragon who lives there, and Impa’s there for extra security (plus to keep an eye on the dragon, which they don’t know much about). So she goes along, and they meet, she keeps an eye on the dragon knight who calls himself Volga.
She and him are snippy toward each other, but it turns quickly to begrudging respect because they know the other is an exceptional warrior. They spar a few times, and end up in some sort of battle on the same side when some monsters cause problems, and they’re both even more impressed with each other. Impa pointedly ignores any feelings she’s starting to get because wow that’s disloyal, plus falling in love on her first mission with someone they have only very tenuous ties with? She’d be a laughingstock.
She can’t help hanging around him more often though, and they keep spending time together and it’s driving her crazy.
But then it turns out there’s a custom or something among dragons, where doing a certain thing basically proposes marriage or being mates or whatever (like bowing a certain way or giving them a pretty rock or something) and Impa does this completely accidentally. Volga is surprised, but reciprocates (with his own pretty rock or whatever), and when Impa asks what he’s doing he replies honestly because he thought she was doing it on purpose.
And Impa, for some crazy, stupid reason, decides to go along with it.
They keep it on the low-down though because even Volga is aware this could be problematic for Impa, but they’re actually pretty happy. The sneaking around only adds to the fun of it.
Now this all takes place over only a few months (a year at most) and soon Impa has to go home because the visit is over. But Volga wants her to stay, and is thoroughly convinced she will because she’s his mate, right?
Impa says she can’t. She has a duty to the crown, and she’s not going to just give it up for him.
Volga gets mad, Impa gets mad, and they have a huge fight right before she leaves, and they part on extremely frosty terms. Impa wants nothing more to do with him, and Volga with her. Little does Impa know... she’s expecting.
She also receives a new assignment, as guardian to the newborn Princess Zelda, and Impa is well aware she can’t be a good bodyguard and mother. So once she has the baby, she gives him to one of the knight’s families living in the castle, so he’ll still be close enough for her to keep an eye on (in case he takes after his father...). But before she gives him away, she gives him his name.
And she names him Link.
