A Young Hylian

[younghero]

Not much to see here.

Just a ten-year-old boy, dressed in a green tunic, sword and shield strapped to his back. Despite being armed, he's smiling pleasantly whenever someone makes eye-contact, and gawking at the sights like any other kid. It's obvious he has no ill-intentions.

After meandering around for a while, the boy sits down on a bench and drinks milk from a glass bottle. When he feels a little more comfortable, he asks a question.

"Have you seen a fairy around here?"

This one was young, like the one it saw before it.
Youth, linear time progression this one began and the one before it also began, there was a time before this small one just as there was time before it.
Looming towards the boy in green with a slow and possibly threatening certainty it dripped thick globs of sticky pink hair clumps onto the floor of the plaza as it moved to answer, to converse, to know more.
"INFORM, WHAT IS "FAIRY"?"
The voice, if it can be called that, was loud in the sense that it shot to the front of the mind, almost as unable to be ignored as a church bell ringing next door.

Link stared for a moment, hand halfway to his sword, before he realized it was speaking to him. He let his hand drop to his lap, keeping a wary eye on this new conversation partner.

"A fairy's a magical creature with wings. They can be guides and friends...they're small."

He held his hands a little ways apart.

Parameters were set and no less than every life form it could reach in the Nexus met some criteria. Size was relative, it had no concept of the word "small". Magic was even more puzzling.
"EXPLAIN "MAGICAL"!"
It boomed into the boys head.

Link gritted his teeth, shaking his head.

"Could ya tone it down just a bit?"

Rubbing his temples, he explained, "Magic...magic is magic. You change things with your will, or because you've received a blessing."

A new concept to understand, will.
It had no working concept of what desire or motive was. Steadily it floated on the spot, attempting to bring its understanding closer to the boys.
"FAIRY IS COMPANION."
It did not understand the idea of communication at a less jarring level but this message was conveyed slower.
