Chapter Text
Wind took his eyes away from Twilight and down at his blade next to him, what are his options? Should he get rid of Twilight or not?
By the way The Rancher was reacting, Wind wanted to make amends with him but then again there was the shadow toying with him, telling him what needed to be told.
That was when the younger saw it in the corner of his eye, wrapped around Twilight's neck was a necklace with a strange looking crystal hanging off of the rope it was tied to and it looked just like how the shadow had described it, the way it dangled to Twilight's movements and how unfazed Twilight was made this situation a lot more difficult than it already was.
And with hesitation, Wind picked up his sword.
Twilight was still a sobbing mess as he fell to the ground and curled up in a ball, he was terrified! Terrified of what's going to happen next.
"You know Rancher," Wind spoke as Twilight looked up at him with tears dripping from his eyes, he trembled, letting out a soft 'arf' as Wind seethes his blade, "I'll forget but I'll never forgive."
He gives Twilight one last look before turning around and walking away.
"No! Wind! D-don't leave! I-it's dangerous!" Twilight tries to stop him but his pleads fell on deaf ears.

"They've been out there for quite a while now," Sky looks down at his feet, the flames of the campfire lightning his face as he turns his head, glancing at the direction Twilight went just hours prior after they'd noticed that Wind had snuck off, "should we go find them?"
The Veteran shrugged his shoulders as he contemplates Sky's words, because he to was thinking about going off to find his brothers that had been missing for quite sometime and it was starting to put everyone on edge. Legend was just about to answer Sky's question when Wind suddenly emerged from the tree line, walking towards them with an expressionless look on his face and blood dripping from his eyebrow, a nasty bruise was forming underneath his right eye where a huge, but treatable gash has been placed.
The young hero had been in a skirmish on his way back to the campsite, it was just with one bokoblin though which was nothing Wind can handle and he won that fight.
The Traveler was the first to shoot up to his feet once he saw the state Wind was in, the others followed suit to also make sure that their little brother was alright.
"Sailor dear gods what happened? Where is Ranchhand?" Wild was the one that spoken to him as The Traveler checked over Wind's wound on his eye and wiped the blood away with a damp cloth The Vet gave to him, after he was done he immediately ushers Wind over to the campfire, sitting him down on a log.
"I fought a bokoblin," Wind says as The Traveler placed another damp cloth over his injured eye to stop the bleeding while fishing through his bag to grab a red potion, he finds one and gives it to Wind, he takes a sip not minding the bitter taste the potion gave, "they jumped out of nowhere and attacked me! But it was only one so I managed to kill it without getting anymore injured."
"And where was Ranchhand? Why wasn't he with you?" Warriors asked, stepping forward and sat down next to Wind, placing a hand on his shoulder as if he was trying to comfort the younger while The Traveler continued to work, using his healing magic to close up Wind's wound and by apon closer examination, the wound doesn't look like it was going to scar, which was good.
"I just left him there!"
The Traveler and Warriors froze after Wind accidently snapped at them, he didn't mean to do that! He immediately felt a pang of guilt in his heart, the rest of his brothers did nothing to him while one of them has! And not to mention the shadow.
The shadow just made everything worse and now Wind doesn't know who to believe.
