seventh dream 🌻 beautiful and devastating

[multidisciplinary]

Who: TOTK Zelda and Alastor
Which: Closed interactive dream
Where: Zelda's dreamscape, backdated to early February, before Al's canon update
What: Zelda dreams about what Link showed her in a previous dream and tries to use her dreamotion
Warnings: Massive Tears of the Kingdom spoilers, also some themes of death, self-sacrifice, and probably a touch of suicidal ideation. (Zelda's opt-out can be found here.)



[ When Alastor enters the dreamscape, he will find himself in central Hyrule, a temperate climate of gently rolling hills, green and grassy fields, and little copses of deciduous trees dotting the landscape here and there. Hyrule is a vast kingdom and even this single region seems to stretch out endlessly towards the horizon in all directions.

And yet, the landscape is somehow dwarfed by the tremendous white and gold dragon that dives down from the sky towards Alastor. The creature looks noticeably similar to the blight-infected dragon that he fought last summer, the one that violently guarded a sleeping princess in a crystal. For a moment, it almost seems like the dragon is intentionally trying to crash into him, but it adjusts its trajectory so that it swoops over him instead. Gusting winds whip against him as the creature soars over his head and then heads back up into the sky. ]

No, not there! I called you here!

[ And there's Zelda, running through the grass in a futile attempt to catch the dragon as it flies away. Even though it's her own dream, somehow the princess can neither speed herself up nor slow the dragon down and she eventually comes to a panting halt not far from Alastor. ]

Goddess... take you... you miserable-- A-Alastor?

[Alastor throws up an arm to shield his eyes as the beautiful creature flies above him. He turns to look on its shimmering scales and elegant form. This one isn't Blighted like the last one.]

Playing, are we? [His grin widens at the dragon that had swooped overhead.]

[His ears swivel around at the sound of the princess's shout. He turns his head to look at her as she comes to a stop beside him.]

I'm an Alastor but certainly not a miserable one! Ha!

Enjoying your run, Miss Zelda?
