Josha's Call (Told by Princess Zelda)-[IMG=XV9]

[C]Four days ago, while doing some light reading, I got a call from Josha on

Four days ago, while doing some light reading, I got a call from Josha on my Purah Pad (By the way, this new trans-regional calling and messaging system Purah put in, so helpful, also Link can now talk to people who don't completely understand HSL!) But Josha called from her new lab she was put in charge of, (We rebuilt the ancient royal lab, Robbie insisted...) and told us (me and Link) to come by to take a look at a new discovery, and to bring very warm clothes.

When we arrived, the Lab was freezing, literally, icicles were forming. Josha greeted us (She didn't even seem cold??) And she told us what happened:

"Okay, so one month, fourteen days, 4 hours, and 32 minutes ago, while exploring the depths with my team we discovered a neat little thing, A HARP! I know cool right!? But when I went to take a closer look, I supposedly "blacked out harder then a Hinox after a meal" and I woke up a day later, and when I woke up, THREE things were different, I developed a very keen sense of time, my body temperature dropped 45° and has been dropping since, AND I now have this little thing under my eye! Doesn't come out!" She then pointed to a small sapphire embedded deep in her skin, under her right eye.

"Hold on.. what about your body temperature?" Josha then stared at me for an uncomfortably long time, "Well, right now it's 74° below what it was a month ago, and this room, this room is warm to me!" She then paced for a few minutes before turning back to us "OH YES, THE HARP! Come with me!" Josha grabbed my arm (By Hylia her hand was so cold, I almost got frostbite through my sleeve) and brought me over to a case with a beautiful deep blue harp in it.

"Alright so, Purah and Robbie theorized it might be a tool that could be used to guide us somewhere, until I found out, this harp is made of magic! Like pure 1000% magic! I have genuinely never seen anything like it! I even examined some old files and experiments on the secret stones, THIS HARP PREDATES EVEN THOSE! ALSO! I went to the forgotten temple, which as you know, the statue on the temple, supposedly came from the Skyloft, and I had my team do a few experiments and THIS HARP. PREDATES. THE. MOTHER. GODDESS. STATUE! Do you know how COOL THAT IS?! pun intended."

I shivered and smiled "yup... t-thats awesomeee..." Josha looked at me concerned "Princess are you alright? Oh no... It's too cold for you isn't it? AGH! I knew it." I could see she started getting stressed out, "w-what? Noooooo it's f-f-fine... please continue."

"Nope, Princess you can go home now, Im not gonna let you die just cause of some Magic Harp, I'll try and send you the rest of what I know of it, when you're warm and safe! Now git! Life is worth more than some knowledge... wait... OH MY GODDESS I FIGURED IT OUT!" Josha ran over to her desk and began putting some things together.

"w-what did you ff-figure out?" I tried to ask her as Link put his Ruby Earrings on me to try and warm me up some. "Nope, you don't get to know till you're home Princess, you're getting frostbite, go home! I dont wanna amputate anything else this week!" She was adamant so I stumbled to the door and left, and so I returned home and then went straight to bed. I only stopped shivering this past day.

That's the end, this is probably gonna be part 1 of a 6 part story Im putting together. Got any criticism, I ask of you please put in the.... what comments? Idk but I love learning how I can be a better writer! Buongiorno!

I have but one piece of criticism! 🩷

I think the stuttering in the dialogue could be toned down? It can get a tad bit difficult to read, plus there's a lot of different ways to express fear and anxiety besides stuttering!

But besides that, this was an amazing read and the art is super lovely! :D
