It's been a few hours since they began to walk together.
Most of the links had tried to start a conversation with their stalker, but the marchand didn't respond to anything unless it was about their destination.
After a few more try they decided to let him be and whisper among themselves, making sure Link couldn't hear.

Time heard shifting behind him, with a swift glance et saw Wind awkwardly leaning on his right foot and then in his left, again, and again, and again.

Well, that's what was happening until Time spoke up

« So, Noice, where do you think we could find Link? »

« Hmm, he's been traveling a lot lately, I sometimes see him but not that much, he doesn't really have time since the Calamity's fall and all that, it takes him a lot of work and he need to travel from village to village to be sure everything is under control and that the construction work forward »

« Calamity? » said the eight travelers at the same time.

« Calamity Ganon? Ganon? Calamity? Thing that destroyed Hyrule because the hero failed? No? You actually never heard of it...? »

« oh. No we heard of... him... we just call him Ganon, and not Calamity » answered Time

« Why do call him a 'it' Noice? » Sky asked

Link looked at them suspiciously, everyone in Hyrule knew why they were saying 'it'

« Because it makes it more easy to fight it when you can't imagine someone and just an object, which is also why we call it Calamity and not Ganon, because I'm sure none of you would like to fight something that big to save all Hyrule while knowing it's also an person and you're hurting him, and also knowing that a person or a 'monster' destroyed all Hyrule in a matter of second »

« Oh... that makes sense... »

Link brushed it off and looked at the sky.

« We should find a place to camp, the sun is starting to set, and the blood moon will probably happen tonight. »

« A blood-what? » asked the younger traveler

« A blood moon. Don't tell me you don't know what it is either »

« Well... » Warriors' sentence trailed of

« Your sure you aren't yigas. » Link said matter-of-factly, giving them suspicious look while positioning his hand to be able to reach for the sword on his back.

Four, Sky and Wind gave each other a look of confusion, while the other were wandering what was a 'Yiga'. Wind was the one that had enough courage to speak up what everybody though so low. (((Does that even makes sense?)))
« A what? »

This Hyrule's hero frowned once again, how could they not know about the yigas?

« Uhh, it's sheikah people who betrayed other and sheikah's and sweared to keep safe the Calamity and are trying to kill everyone who talks bad about it, even though it's dead, they also are a pain in the ass because they look like simple travelers -like y'all- and the second your back face them, they try to stab, smash or do anything that could kill you. » Hyrule and Twilight moved closer to each other, in a vaine attempt to make them feel safer, and Legend was about to speak up now that he understood why Noice was so careful with them, but Link didn't gave them time to talk and continued on « but don't worry! They've been keeping low profile since the Link defeated the calamity a couple of weeks ago. »

The eight ancient heroes made surprised look, stopping dead in their track, they didn't though that the fight would have been so recent. Time was the first to regain posture and walk again, the others followed soon after.
