It began with the courtship of Alonza Gallo. She was the daughter of Mereb Gallo, an adviser to the king of Hyrule. Such a position afforded the Gallo Family a great deal of honor, but they were only a twig on an aristo family tree, and for the most part, lived in relative peace, outside of the capital city, on a large, country estate. With only a handful of servants, Alonza participated a great deal in the household work and, as such, often went to the local farming village of Saria to purchase household staples. And it was in Saria where she met and fell in love with a landed farmer by the name of Antonio Zaya.
The flirtation was scandalous to Mereb and he would have put a stop to it then and there, but Alonza was soon pregnant. She and Antonio married and settled in to his ranch in Saria, where she gave birth to her first son, Kay. A year later, their second son, Bandon, was born. Both Kay and Bandon, along with several other children in Saria, were born with brown eyes. Gossip spread throughout Hyrule, whispers that the farmers of Saria had tainted blood, as Hylians were always born blue-eyed. Although this was not the case, the rumors were enough to ignite old prejudices and soon, Saria was considered a backwater place. Hylians with a Sarian accent were shunned from more "civilized" society and as their farms failed, Saria became the prostitution and vice capital of Hyrule.

Giants in the Sky
Jul. 18th, 2018 12:45 pmThere are giants in the sky
There are big, tall, terrible giants in the sky
When you're way up high, and you look below
At the world you left, and the things you know
Little more than a glance, is enough to show
You just how small you are
When you're way up high, and you're on your own
In a world like none that you've ever known
Where the sky is lead, and the Earth is stone
You're free, to do, what ever pleases you
Exploring things you never dared
Cuz' you don't care
When suddenly there's
A big, tall, terrible giant, at the door
A big tall terrible lady giant sweeping the floor
And she gives you food and she gives you rest
And she draws you close to her giant breast
And you know things now that you never knew before
Not til' the sky
Only just when you've made a friend and all
And you know she's big, but you don't feel small
Someone bigger than her comes along the hall
To swallow you for lunch
And your heart is lead, and your stomach stone
And you're really scared, being all alone
And its then that you miss all the things you've known
And the world you've left, and the little you own
The fun, is done
You steal what you can, and run
And you scramble down, and you look below
And the world you know, begins to grow
The roof, the house and your mother, at the door
The roof, the house, and the world you never thought to explore
And you the think of all of the things you've seen
And you wish that you could live in between
And you're back again, only different than before
After the sky
There are giants in the sky
There are big, tall, terrible, awesome, scary, wonderful giants
In the sky!

Plot Proposal
Jul. 1st, 2014 12:08 pmOn Day Blah-Blah, the Egime will arrive in the middle of Kakariko Village, a bustling market village in the heart of Hyrule. Although the villagers are, at first, afraid (after all, a large ship just landed in the middle of their town), they'll quickly put away their pitchforks as the candidates step down on the solid ground. It is a market town. Even if the arrival is unconventional, the villagers are used to strangers.
In fact, strangers mean more commerce. The candidates can barter any number of supplies, but what everyone's pushing these days is a brand new trading game called Kinstones. In fact, any candidate who leaves the Egime to venture into town will be given a Kinstone, as a welcoming gift, from one of the natives.
( Kinstones are small... )

By Sarian standards, the Zaya family lived reasonably well. Their cottage had five rooms, not counting the porch. All the same, that night, the four children and Alonza found themselves cramped into the room with the fireplace. Alonza sat closest to the fire, continually braiding and unbraiding her hair. It was titian, not as gold as it used to be. It seemed that Alonza was in mourning for its color, in mourning for her former beauty, lost to the years, to four children, to a husband with a temper and hardly a penny to his name. She remained silent in her seat, fingers running through her hair as she stared into the fire.
Bandon, like his mother, preferred solitary pursuits. He was by the window, working his way through a thick, leather-bound book. At fifteen, he had the best eyes in the family; reading came naturally to him.
Kay, Garmay, and Lucas sat on the floor.

PSL: The River Rat and the Prince
Dec. 21st, 2011 06:03 pmShe was sitting under a willow, adjusting the straps on her pack for the sixth time in as many minutes. The sun would be setting soon and that meant she'd need to head into town. This particular slip of a village didn't offer much, but Garmay wasn't too picky when it came to where she slept.
It was what she ate that was more of a problem.
As she was considering her options, she heard it: Footsteps. Looking up, she spotted a lone figure moving down the road in her direction.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, was her meal ticket.
Quickly, Garmay was on her feet. Carefully, she fluffed her hair over her ears, smoothing down the front of her dress to look respectable. She fished in her pocket for the wooden pan pipes her brother had given her the last time they spoke. That felt like a lifetime ago, but the pipes were still in tune and Garmay still knew all the songs. "Coins for a song, Mister," she said, careful to keep her Sarian accent in check before she started to play a spritely melody.

River in the Rain

Sometimes at night you look like a long white train
Winding your way away somewhere
River, I love you don't you care
If you're on the run winding some place
Just trying to find the sun
Whether the sunshine, whether the rain
River, I love you just the same
But sometimes in a time of trouble
When you're out of hand
And your muddy bubbles roll across my floor
Carryin' away the things I treasure
Hell, there ain't no way to measure
Why I love you more than I did the day before
River in the rain
Sometimes at night you look like a long white train

Carryin' away the things I treasure
Hell, there ain't no way to measure
Why I love you more than I did the day before

Waitin' for the Light to Shine
Sep. 7th, 2011 12:37 pmI have lived on undirected life
A cloudy way I know, the only way I knew
And so the things I've done
In fact each and every one
Is the way that I was taught to run
I am waitin' for the light to shine
I am waitin' for the light to shine
I have lived in the darkness for so long
I'm waitin' for the light to shine
Far beyond horizons I have seen
Beyond things I've been
Beyond the dreams I've dreamed
Are the things I've done
In fact each and every one
Are the way that I was taught to run
I am waitin' for the light to shine
I am waitin' for the light to shine
I have lived in the darkness for so long
I'm waitin' for the light to shine

I Hope You Dance
Aug. 7th, 2011 01:21 pmI hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,

History of Garmay's Hyrule
Jul. 7th, 2011 01:44 pmGarmay is from Hyrule, the main kingdom in the Legend of Zelda video game series, but there are some differences between the world she inhabits and the world found in the games. For the best landscape of Hyrule, refer to Ocarina of Time. For the best sketch of current events, refer to Link to the Past and Link’s Awakening.
According to myth, Hyrule was created by three goddesses, known as Din, Nayru, and Farore. As a sign of their power, these goddesses created a relic known as the Triforce, made of three pieces, which demonstrated the goddess' attributes: Din's power, Nayru's wisdom, and Farore's courage. Whosoever could gather all three pieces of the Triforce would have their greatest wish granted. The goddesses divided the Hylian race into several sub-races: Hylian (land inhabitants), Zora (mermaids), Sheikah (shadow dwellers), Gerudo (desert warrior women), Goron (mountain giants), and Kokiri (forest elves). Each of the sub-races was blessed with its own special abilities and gifts. By the same myth, however, Humans, and any other species, were not created by the three goddesses, but rather by other, lesser deities, and were therefore not considered to be completely sentient.
