Chapter Four - A Spirit Tracks Link is available on AO3

Excerpt:

As they move deeper into the forest, the buzzing turns into an insistent hum. Link would think the air would be teeming with flies, but not even a gnat is hovering near them. Shaking his head, he tugs on his ears. “Does anyone else hear that?”

“Hear what, boss?” Groose lifts the lantern higher, revealing a tall wrought iron fence. Lanterns on each side of the gates flare to life as Gustaf approaches.

Nobody can hear the humming? Now that he’s standing in front of the graveyard, Link swears it’s actually a woman’s voice, and she’s calling to him with a poignant song. This place is haunted, for sure, or it’s a siren. Sirens lured unsuspecting sailors to their deaths with their heavenly voices. Link couldn’t say this voice was precisely beautiful, and of course, he isn’t on a ship, so could the same be applied here? It’s not like he’ll be smashed against a rock… He’s never encountered a siren before, so he’s nothing to compare. Ghost, then. Has to be a ghost. Especially with the eerie, very inhuman way it sounds.

One, purest of hearts

Come to me before the battle starts

Link sees a large mausoleum in the center of the graveyard, and beyond it, a broken path snakes up a hill leading to a temple. She’s in there, in the chapel; he can sense it. Her voice floats down the hill from the crumbling facade of the building. 

You, who’ve heard my call

Claim me for your own before we fall

He steps backward, hesitating to enter as a shiver runs down his spine. The temptation to follow the pull of the song to its source is nearly overwhelming. Maybe this isn’t such a good idea after all. 

Many thanks to @zeldaelmo for betaing!

I recommend everyone who struggles with this the emotion thesaurus! It's a whole book similar to the charts above but more detailed and differs between internal and external expressions and signs when the emotion is suppressed etc. It's really helpful, no matter if you aren't sure how to write an emotion at all or if you just need a different body language because you're tired of your characters blushing all the time.

This page has a preview, I believe!

I feel the autistic writer vs “show not tell” thing so much. There are these helpful charts I’ve had saved to my phone since forever that I find are good starting points, though other options exist outside of these too. Hope these can be of some help to you as well!

(Not made by me but I don’t know where they’re from unfortunately! They’ve been reposted so many times I’m not sure of the original source.)

i had the first one but not the second one!! thank you!!! :D
