Octavo smiles wanly at him. “I have lived much longer than my appearance would suggest, your highness. I know these things not only from my songs, but because I’ve seen them myself, with my own two eyes… I have seen Hyrule fall, rise and forget its past, over and over. It isn’t too late to stop it from happening again. I can help you.” To his surprise, the king’s dour expression melts into a smile of his own, and he places a warm, heavy hand on Octavo’s shoulder. “I understand Hyrule has faced adversity in the past. We’ve had our share of wars and betrayal, but the peace we’ve forged from it is solid as iron!” He gives Octavo’s shoulder a little shake to punctuate. “I can’t begin to imagine the things you’ve seen, but you don’t have to fear any longer. Hyrule is well-defended, watched over by the gods themselves. We’ll rise to meet any threat that comes our way.” Despite Darius’s mollifying words, Octavo feels bile rise in his throat, hot and acrid. He knew this would happen, or something like it, be it rage or disbelief or cries of treason, but it makes it no easier to hear out loud. He swallows, forcing a sheepish grin onto his face. “Oh, I have no doubt your army could stand against any regular foe, but this is… You must understand that has never stopped Ganon before. Hyrule needs more than manpower, it needs to match his supernatural strength, and I can-”  “Come, now,” Darius cuts him off, gentle but firm. “This isn’t the sort of talk we need to be having before a party, is it?"

Very excitingly, I get to share a preview of my piece for @hyruleconcerto! Keeping Time is a song that I've been working on for months and months (quite possibly the most complicated and frustrating one I've ever written), and I'm very excited to share it with you guys. There's also some fantastic cover art by a wonderful artist...

Definitely check out this zine for some wonderful Cadence of Hyrule-themed fanworks! If you don't, I might turn evil and enslave all of Hyrule. Do you really want to take that risk?

very excited to get to share a preview of my work for the @hyruleconcerto zine!!!! octavo is Going Through It
