"Wait, so you mean to tell me that guy's actually a human??"

The small flea-like creature spoke in disbelief as he bounced on the back of a pure-white wolf, crimson markings all along her body in an intentional and almost celestial pattern as she walked somewhat aimlessly alongside another four-legged creature. The white wolf was a stark contrast to the other, jet black fur covering the majority of his body with two bold, almost chillingly intelligent sky blue eyes glaring straight ahead as if with a purpose. On his back was a small imp-like person, yet somehow the biggest of the four. She had a strangely designed stone crown along her head, broken and allowing a large tuft of an orange hair-like substance out the top while her one exposed crimson eye observed the white wolf and miniscule man walking beside them. She was leaning back, arms behind her head while balancing precariously along the back of the black wolf.

"Sure is. Link here's not a wolf at all! He just got himself all caught up in trouble and has to be a hero, like a good little doggy!" The growl in response as Link looked back at Midna said everything about their relationship, the twilight imp just smirking wider before ruffling his thick mass of a black mane along his head. Link shook and whimpered idly, the manacle along his left paw jingling as it captured Amaterasu's attention. Her head tilted curiously as she observed it, black slits of eyes taking a deep focus on the metal ring. No one took note of that situation as Issun and Midna continued to talk about their companions, seeming like they were both in charge when history showed that clearly wasn't the case. "Something something Twilight Realm and being Hylian and blah blah blah. Don't wanna bore you too much with the details, but this form is only temporary while we travel. Easier than having to be a shadow following along behind him like some mutt. But...heh, I guess either way one of us is a mutt, huh?" Another disgruntled ruff and Midna winked down at him, which he was incapable of seeing. "What about Amaterasu over there? Those red markings are a sign that she's a goddess or something?"

"Yup. You say Link's a human? Well, Ammy here is the god of the sun and all that is good come back to life after 100 years because an evil dragon returned from its banishment and she's the only one who can defeat him in her white wolf avatar, Shiranui!" The statement sat on the air for a second, both Midna and Link turning to Issun as they suddenly stopped in their tracks. Even Amaterasu stopped and tilted her head curiously at the Poncle hopping on her back, the statement sounding absolutely absurd without any sort of context. Issun looked at each of them in time before awkwardly adjusting his large green hat and crossing his arms. "Look, I'm just here to be an emissary of Ammy, ok? That and remind her to take baths, she hates those." The resulting growl from Amaterasu brought a laugh from Issun and Midna, Link looking a bit confused at the humor but letting out a soft grumbling wuff in response. He was generally mute, but being in his wolf form gave him the chance to express himself a bit differently. He was also picking up some cues from Amaterasu, noticing ways she would shift her body, adjust her ears, even use her tail to signify different thoughts and feelings. Very fascinating, and sure to be incredibly helpful!

"Well, Linky here is kinda a wet blanket. Has this girl he's trying to save, doesn't say anything ever, doesn't talk, and doesn't even drink. He's BORING. So seeing you two has really helped make things a lot more entertaining." Her teasing continued, the fully mature warrior growling and glaring back at her as Midna just shrugged nonchalantly. "Look when you prove me wrong, I'll stop saying it. You act like some uptight eight-year-old for someone who's been alive for almost three decades. Take it from someone like me and Amaterasu who've lived a LOT longer. Life is too short to be a limp noodle."

"Limp noodle? Who says stuff like that, just say he's a nerd."

"You have to DO things to be a nerd, Issun."

The two of them laughed again, Amaterasu letting out a soft whine as they were all talking and poking fun at the mute Hylian. His eyes rolled as he just kept walking, Amaterasu quickly picking up the pace to pad alongside him once more as the four of them all traveled down a road through a forest. The trees lining it were filled with pink petals, cherry trees wavering idly in the wind as Amaterasu's tail swayed back and forth in a mysterious manner. The cool breeze at their backs felt wonderful and filled them with an energy they hadn't felt in days. It was more than just refreshing...it was almost rejuvenating. Divine, in a strange way. Like Din, Nayru, and Farore were following along beside Link and Midna to guide them on their journey. None of this was out of the ordinary for Issun and Amaterasu. It was just another day traveling toward their next adventure while letting Amaterasu's powers make the journey easier. The four of them happened to be traveling in the same direction, and it was always nice to have some company. Not to mention, seeing another wolf with a creature riding on top of it was too much of a coincidence to ignore! Issun and Midna spent the next while conversing with each other while Amaterasu and Link just listened. The conversation wasn't anything too intense or exciting, but it was definitely a good change of pace for all of them, and even if Link and Amaterasu weren't able to DIRECTLY engage? They enjoyed the shift in the day to day. Something new was generally appreciated, especially for Link who got restless when stuck in his wolf form for a long period of time. There were some challenges whenever he was a wolf, and being around another creature who was in somewhat of the same position? It was hard to explain. There was just something nice about it.

After about twenty more minutes of walking and talking, the four of them came upon a fork in the road with no indicator of the right direction to go. Link and Amaterasu stopped at the divergence of the paths, both of them turning their attention from one to the other to try and find some difference between the two. Unfortunately, they were completely identical. Both had streams of sunlight pouring through the canopy, cherry blossoms streaming down in a lovely display with the wind making the trees wave casually back and forth. It was impossible to ignore, Link's eyes going wide in wonder at the beautiful natural dance of the forest. Every time the wind brushed through the eaves, different rays of sunlight shone through to the forest floor and lit up their path with a beautiful golden light. He'd never seen something so majestic, so other worldly in all of his travels through Hyrule and beyond. This was like a whole different world...and after everything he'd seen of the Twilight Realm? It was nice to have a change of scenery. His tail started to wag happily behind him, panting idly as he lifted his head a little higher. The other three took note of it, the conversation stopping idly as Midna gave Link a light nudge in the side. "You doing ok there, waggy? If you have an idea on which way to go, then I'd love to hear it. Speak up, doggy!" Issun seemed to be the only one who found it entertaining, laughing as he rolled onto his back and held his sides.

"Oh man am I glad we ran into you two! Hanging out with furball here is great, but actually talking to someone who gets how hard it is? It's even better!!" Issun got back onto his feet before jumping up onto Amaterasu's head, excitedly bouncing around as he does when he gets an idea. "Hey, how about we split up? Two of us go down each path and we come back after one of us has something that looks like the way forward. But if we see another fork? We come RIGHT back! No getting lost, here."

"Hmm...that does sound like a good idea. And how about this: You and me take the left while the furry ones take the right. Think you can survive without me for a little bit, Link?" His response was a soft grumble, shaking his body as his manacle jangled and Midna floated off of his back. "Good puppy! What about Amaterasu, will she be alright on her own?" Amaterasu wasn't paying attention, instead looking at Link curiously as her tail was hidden behind her. Another sudden gust of wind blew through the air, making Link close his eyes before shaking once more to realign his fur. Both Issun and Midna exchanged a quick look before Midna started to smirk.

"As long as we join back up, she'll be fine. Ammy here's real strong! Nothing to worry about, Link will be in good hands. Er...paws. Claws? Y...yeah, she'll be fine." Amaterasu let out a bark in response, her tail reappearing from behind her as it started to wag. She padded closer to Midna and Issun, nudging them down the left path with her head before letting out another two barks. It was a strange sight, but it almost seemed as if Amaterasu wanted them to split up. Issun paused for a moment, hopping closer to Amaterasu before jumping up to her ear and whispering something into it. The white wolf tilted her head as if focusing...and then after a few moments, she let out a bark with a nod and some more heavy wagging. "Alright, I get it. Me and Midna will go this way and you two can entertain yourselves down that path. Don't forget to come back when you see something that looks like the path forward, ok?" The other three nodded, Issun bouncing over to Midna before landing on her shoulder as the twilight imp tilted her head with a smirk.

"You be a good boy with Amaterasu, alright Link? And remember to be on your best behavior. She's a goddess, afterall~" Link's response wasn't exactly matching Midna's lighthearted tone, instead giving a rough grumble followed by a quick nod. Link was all business, and he would never do anything to upset a goddess if it was in his control. With a final wave, Midna turned around as she started walking down the path to the left while having a hushed conversation with Issun. It wasn't long before they disappeared into the woods, leaving Link and Amaterasu with the path on the right. Link was watching them leave for a while...taking a bit too much time waiting before he felt a firm and insistent nudging against his shoulder. His head turned and saw Amaterasu's face right in front of his, her tail wagging as she let out another bark before turning toward the path. It looked like he didn't have much of a choice, padding along after her as his white-socked paws carried him behind the divine wolf. It was concerning being left alone with Amaterasu considering he couldn't fight as well without Midna. He felt completely exposed in that situation, but it was out of his hands. What if they had to fight? Goddess or not, could Amaterasu hold her own if someone attacked? What if someone tried to take advantage of their situation? All alone in the woods, unable to communicate and being out of reach of their allies...it was definitely a concerning situation. But as a light gust of wind blew at his back and urged him down the path...he was starting to feel a bit more at ease with the idea. After all, he was with a literal goddess. And he was the Hero of Time. And they were both in wolf forms. Who in their right mind would approach two normal wolves and try to cause trouble, let alone two that are very clearly powerful and seasoned fighters? No one. With a nod, Link was sure there would be nothing surprising happening to the two of them down that path.

At least, nothing that was surprising and bad.

The path through the forest continued much in the same way as the rest of the forest, only the canopy began to clear. Link thought it was a cloudy day earlier, but the sun started to shine brighter than ever and beamed through the tree shade above. He started to walk a bit slower, eyes closed as he breathed through his nose and let out a long, happy sigh. It felt wonderfully on his dark fur, reveling in the light and warmth as he enjoyed the silence. Midna was definitely one to talk every chance she got. It was rare to enjoy the peace and quiet of nature, but Amaterasu also seemed to be mute...or at least, wouldn't speak outside of barks. The two highly intelligent creatures continued down the path, their heads turning every which way to observe what lay ahead. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary...and they didn't encounter much that struck them as odd. A few bundles of sticks, some signs of wildlife, a felled tree or two...but otherwise? Nothing abnormal. Birds started to chirp and fly just over their heads, one or two of them perching on a branch off to the side of the path. Link was enjoying the view as they casually padded through the wooded scenery, the gentle breeze casually blowing leaves down along them and onto the dirt path beneath. A soft smile spread across Link's muzzle, panting softly as he took in the scents. Honestly? It felt really nice getting some time away from Midna. Even if he wasn't alone, knowing there was a literal goddess at his side was an absolute honor. What fortune!

Minutes passed as the two wolves continued to explore the path, not finding much in their way. Every so often, Amaterasu would turn to look at Link who would look back at her. She would tilt her head and let out a soft wuff of a bark, which Link didn't know how to respond to. Once or twice, he would try to grumble a response at her...though he didn't know what he was saying. She seemed to respond in kind, tilting her head the other way and letting out a confused ruff. To say it was awkward was an understatement...but at the very least, they seemed to both mutually understand they didn't know what was going on. Link could see her tail moving in strange ways every time he looked over, but Amaterasu didn't give any sort of indication that something was going on. He swore he felt the breeze picking up every time her tail flicked...the trees shifting whenever it moved...flowers appearing where they weren't before. Link had seen some strange sights before, but everything going through his mind at that moment seemed, frankly? Impossible even for what he'd experienced. Still, he couldn't deny the connection as they continued down the path. After a couple more minutes, Link saw a sharp curve as he and Amaterasu locked eyes before nodding at each other. Their pace picked up momentarily, paws pounding lightly along the ground and kicking up dirt as they rounded that corner. When the two wolves stood in front of the seeming end of the path, they slid to a stop as both needed a moment to take in what lay in front of them.

At the very end of the path was a clearing the likes of which Link could've ever expected. There was a small pond at the end of the dirt path surrounded by plenty of beautiful flowers and healthy grasses, a calm waterfall rushing down into the otherwise still surface of the water with a cliff face dotted with all sorts of beautiful, blooming flowers. Link's eyes went wide in wonder, his bright blue orbs soaking in every ounce of the beautiful nature that stood before him. Birds were casually flying back and forth across the clearing, some ducks swimming along the small pond while hardly breaking the surface. The sun was shining bright in the sky, casting its warm and brilliant glow along the entirety of life below. Everything was in full bloom...like this area was some lost oasis deep in the forest. Link's eyes scanned the surroundings, taking in the beauty, but...realizing there was no path through it. He nodded to himself, looking over to Amaterasu with a soft rumble before turning around to head back down the path. They found this wasn't the right path, which meant they had to report back to Midna and Issun. Quick and easy. Link started padding back toward the entrance before something stopped him suddenly. There was a weight against one of his hind paws, something snagging it as he was struggling to move. His ears perked up as he looked back and saw one of Amaterasu's white forelimbs stopping him.

Link's head tilted curiously in response, his brow furrowing as he looked back up at the wolf goddess. She didn't react to his look, instead walking around toward his front before lowering her head toward one of his front paws. Her nose brushed against the shackle chained to his leg, pawing at it curiously before letting out a soft whimper. It was odd hearing her whine...but Link just sat down and watched curiously. His muzzle opened in a soft growl, rumbling as he was trying to indicate it wasn't from him. That cold dungeon...the confusion when he first was brought into the Twilight Realm. When Amaterasu touched it again with her snout, his leg twitched backward suddenly as if it was still somewhat of a sore topic. Link didn't like admitting he'd gotten himself into trouble...less so that Midna had to help him adjust to his new wolf body. It still felt pretty foreign to him...walking on all fours, all the new scents, not being able to communicate in the way he was used to. He felt like a stranger in his own body, but even with that dull outline of the Triforce along his paw, he knew he'd pull through somehow. He and Midna made a lot of discoveries, some of which would've been impossible if he didn't have his wolf form. And yet...it still just didn't feel right. Another soft nudge broke him out of his reflection, coupled with a confused wuff from Amaterasu. Her dark eyes made contact with his, questioning and almost communicating confusion and concern. Link's head shook idly to break himself from his thoughts, giving her a light pant and a soft nod. He was fine. Just...reflective.

Her head tilted as she nudged back toward the shackle and sat down with her tail flicking behind her. Another idle bark before she tapped a paw against the manacle. She wasn't looking like she was going to change the topic...which was very awkward for two wolves who couldn't communicate through normal Common. But they were managing. Without Issun and Midna, they had to do their best to use their bodies to communicate. Given one was mute anyway and the other was a goddess in her mortal form, these issues would've come up no matter what form they were in. Amaterasu seemed to find it perfectly normal, and Link was...adjusting. He thought for a moment, an idea suddenly hatching in his head as his head went down to his paw. His strong maw opened, biting along the shackles a few times before shaking his head with a whimper. Amaterasu's gaze went from his head...back to the shackle...and back to his head before she nodded and let out a soft bark. She...understood? He was pretty sure that's what she was trying to say, though her stance was a bit awkward as she started to flick her tail behind her while staring at the manacle. Suddenly, there was a loud 'clank' in the otherwise silent grove, Link twitching as there was a strange heat along his paw. He jumped back, looking around with his teeth bared at what he thought was a threat. His eyes went every which way, feeling like they were under attack and finding...

...nothing.

The stillness of the grove returned immediately after the noise, Amaterasu staring at him with a tilted head and a confused raise of her brow. Link looked a touch...absurd standing in a heroic battle pose. A wuff escaped from his throat before clearing it lightly and moving back into a seated position, his black fur turning a soft shade of pink in embarrassment. His ears flicked softly against his head, paws fumbling lightly at the grass under him before Amaterasu stood up and started pawing at something on the ground. Her head bent down as she nosed it toward Link, his attention finally going down to it as well before his eyes went wide. There, sitting on the ground beneath him was that same manacle strapped to his leg just a moment ago. Was...that the noise he heard? The shackles breaking? His leg getting freed from the final bind? He...frankly couldn't believe it. Walking closer to the object, his paw batted at it experimentally. It had been cleaved cleanly in two, broken with no sign of struggle and no small pieces of metal having been shaved off. It was like...something cut it perfectly as if it was made of a softer material. He kept staring at it as if something would change, another pressure against his leg pulling his attention back as Amaterasu idly gave him a quick nudge where the shackle once was. It looked sore...chafed from the metal he was forced to wear for so long. Her nose made the paw twitch, the sensitive skin underneath feeling a bit raw before her tail moved behind her again...and suddenly? Water from the pond was literally moving through the air toward Link in what seemed like a controlled stream. It floated quickly, surrounding his paw and washing it quickly to help ease his pain.

The look of sheer shock and confusion on Link's expression was truly hard to describe. It was an odd sight for a wolf's eyes to be wide, muzzle hanging open with a paw hanging in the air dripping with water from a magical stream that floated over to him. This was...impossible! Link had seen magic, but nothing like this!! Usually magic was controlled by another person, and the only ones there were him and-

Amaterasu.

When his senses returned, Link's head shot toward Amaterasu who was simply wagging her tail with a happy pant. She gave him a soft bark, nodding before motioning back to his paw. It wasn't fixed, but...something about it did feel much better. The water helped clean out some of the dirt that was caked on his fur and eased some of the stiffness and sores. Did she...control that water? His head tilted, motioning from his affected paw and back to her with a soft rawrf of confusion. All she did was give a single nod before standing up and walking over toward the pond. Her paws didn't stop as she approached the edge, instead continuing on her pace as she stepped out onto the surface like it was solid. She took a few more steps to stand in the middle of it, the waterfall behind her painting the white and red wolf in a beautiful light as mist filled the air and rays of sunlight shone all around her. It was...awe-inspiring. Something straight out of a tapestry of the gods as Link stood up and took a hesitant step forward. All she was doing was watching expectantly, sitting down on top of the water as her tail rested beside him. He never realized it before, but her tail had a jet black tint on it...sometimes. Every so often, he swore he saw what looked like ink along her pure white tail, dripping into the water before disappearing as if it had never been. Was this the true power of the goddess? He remembered Issun mentioning something about brushstrokes...and the way that manacle was cleaved in two while her tail was flicking behind her. It was starting to make more sense, as much as it possibly could. His muzzle shifted into a smile, nodding before he was starting to understand. His body got up, all four paws starting to move as he broke off at a run to join her in the middle of the pond. She was inviting him closer, and Link wasn't going to say no in learning more about this goddess! As he took his first step out onto the pond-

He immediately fell in, rolling head over paws with a loud splash.

Amaterasu simply watched, scratching behind her ear with a hind paw before blinking at the now soaked wolf. Her tail was wagging as if enjoying the sight, giving a soft bark at the wolf now struggling to get control of his still rolling body. He eventually managed to right himself, the thick dark fur along his head soaked down as he stumbled back to the shallows. Amaterasu was watching with a bemused pant, loving every second of Link's struggle before her tail dipped into the water. As Link was struggling to make his way back to the shore, a pressure appeared underneath him that brought out a shocked yelping whine as a disc of water lifted him up into the air. His legs all spread, tail curling around one of them as a spout of water slowly moved him higher above the pond. Amaterasu was just watching, standing up before padding over to the jet and literally swimming up it. She jumped high in the air, water glistening in the sunlight around her before landing right next to Link. There wasn't much room on the platform, Link's body dripping with water before Amaterasu's tail flicked again and a strong gust of fresh wind blew across his body. His eyes shut, turning his head away from the wind until he felt how warm and comforting it was. Almost like an inviting brushing all along his body. He could feel the heat filling him like a hug directly to his heart, eyes opening again before he looked up at the white wolf beside him. Her tail was shifting around behind her out of site...making it easy for Link to put two and two together.

It was the same divine wind he felt before...realizing now it was all coming from Amaterasu. Once he was adjusted to the warmth and the feel, he lifted his head up toward the gust and let it rifle through his fur. It blew past his legs, down his back, along his tail...everywhere that was starting to feel cold from the chill of the water. Amaterasu just watched as he reveled in the sensations, sitting down as he wagged eagerly and let her power dry him off from his spill into the water. It took a few moments, the wind renewing itself every few moments to ruffle the fur along his chest and wash a new wave of warmth through his body. Eventually, there were only a few drops of water left on his body, dripping down onto their elevated platform above the grove. Giving Amaterasu a quick and sly glance, Link took the opportunity to shake his body so the remaining water immediately transferred from wolf to wolf. The white wolf was taken aback, shifting backwards before growling at Link who immediately took the chance to jump off the platform of water. His body turned in the air, arching skillfully in an effortless front flip as he landed on all fours with his tail flicking up gracefully. He turned around and looked back up at the elevated platform, nudging his head to Amaterasu. She tilted her head in response, not one to back down from a challenge as she jumped immediately after him. The arc of her body was emphasized with a stream of what looked like flowers and leaves, growing in the air in her wake before fading away. Link could see she was diving straight at him, meaning he wasn't going to let her keep the upper hand! He deftly jumped backwards, Amaterasu landing and going into an immediate playbow with a matching growl before leaping at Link once again.

The two of them started an immediate chase, Link jumping and dodging every which way as Amaterasu took off after him, flowers growing in her wake as she was right on his tail. The two were very evenly matched, Link having to dodge trees jumping up from the ground before fading away and gusts of wind teasingly trying to trip him up. Amaterasu was clearly holding back, but with the way her tail was flicking and wagging all the while, neither of them seemed to care. Both were having a wonderful time running through the glade and chasing each other in an impromptu game of tag, Link enjoying the newfound freedom from his shackles and Amaterasu enjoying the chance to just let loose. They let the time pass as the sun seemed to be stuck in place, giving them both plenty of warmth and light to enjoy their day away from being heroes and saviors. Being in their wolf forms was almost an excuse for them to take a break, forget about who they are and their responsibilities for just the briefest of moments while enjoying the company of another who understands. They both were highly intelligent, very skilled fighters. And yet? They couldn't vent to anyone. No one really understood the weight that was always on their shoulders. The constant expectations with the eyes of the world upon them. Never being able to mess up, always having to be perfect. But for that brief time...they could forget the troubles of the world and just...be. Enjoy their company. Take a break and get lost in the fun of letting loose and playing like wolves.

After a while, Amaterasu had Link cornered against the edge of the tree stands. Her tail wagged as she bent low with a playful growl, Link's own tail wagging as he was looking for some way out. He shifted to the right, but Amaterasu followed. To the left, she moved the same. He was trapped! With no way out, Link returned the playbow with his tail hiked up high in the air, panting happily as he felt he was about to lose. But then as if out of nowhere, Amaterasu's tail shifted out of sight and Link felt himself suddenly rolling head over heels. A tree burst from the ground under his hinds, causing his lower body to shoot up into the air as he rolled forward toward Amaterasu. She didn't anticipate the trajectory as he bowled directly into her, the two of them barrelling along the soft grass with whines and barks as flowers and moss grew under them from Amaterasu's influence. They tumbled for a few moments before coming to a sudden stop with a heavy thunk, Link lying flat on his back with his paws curled at his chest and Amaterasu splayed out on top of him. She shook her head, Link pawing at his face to get some of the grass brushed out of his eyes. The two laid there for a few moments, Link shifting his head back as he enjoyed the warmth of the goddess of the sun with the actual sun beating down upon him. Amaterasu hadn't moved much yet, her tail shifting and blowing a gentle breeze across them both. It was...nice. The calming wind rippling through the grass and bringing a sense of calm upon them both. Amaterasu shifted idly, brushing up against Link as her hinds adjusted themselves. He could feel her figure against him, letting out an idle hum as he adjusted himself beneath her, and-

Quickly realized what she was up against.

Link let out a sudden barking whine, his body shifting and wiggling to try and get out from under her before Amaterasu put her paws down firmly on his chest. The action took Link by surprise, head shifting back further against the grass as he caught a glimpse of her dark eyes. He thought they were mostly black...but he could see a rainbow of colors swirling deep inside of them, beautiful as the sun and with all the wisdom of thousands of years of life. She stared directly at him, paws loosening ever so slightly before her body adjusted. That cold nose shifted forward, gently bumping against Links' as her head brushed down along his cheek. Their muzzles rubbed together, Amaterasu nuzzling against him as her tail shifted again with another softer, calmer breeze. It almost felt as if she was trying to reassure him...to comfort him as he started to writhe around uncertainly. His body froze, mind racing at the implications of what was going on as Amaterasu continued to nuzzle him gently. Her fur was...so very soft. The motions comforting as that breeze was almost focusing along Link's sides, belly, tail...soothing him and bringing his breath back to a normal rate. His head shifted, pressing idly away from Amaterasu's as they made eye contact once more. For that brief moment...neither of them moved.

Amaterasu tilted her head softly, confused at Link's hesitation but not trying to push him further than he was comfortable. The dark wolf remained perfectly still as his ears flicked gently back against his head. His thoughts were racing, realizing what Amaterasu wanted and not feeling sure of how to react. His front paws fumbled at his chest awkwardly while his tail flicked, attention roaming everywhere except Amaterasu's face. He was...conflicted. Link wasn't exactly the most...vocal person, we'll say. And he's only ever been focused on saving Hyrule and rescuing Zelda. To think about something more intimate was...difficult. How could he? He never had the time and he was always on the move to try and prevent the next disaster. But the way Amaterasu was looking at him...the feeling of her beautiful snow white fur pressing down against his body. The way that tail brushed against his sides and hind legs. The soft and gentle breeze that ruffled through his fur like the caress of a gentle lover. The heat in his body was rising, tail starting to wag a bit faster against Amaterasu's as her head turned to look at the interruption. The second she looked back, her ears perked in curious surprise as there was something else she noticed. Link followed her gaze, looking down his body as he saw it as well with a heavy blush across his dark cheeks.

The first bit of his crimson shaft started pressing out of his creamy white sheath, standing out in stark contrast against his fur. His ears perked before splaying back once again against his head, his tail whipping up between his hinds to try and hide what he felt was his shame. The second his tail brushed up against his sheath, Amaterasu's tail flicked to brush it aside. She made eye contact with him before giving a soft wuff, nudging his neck with her nose as if telling him to stop. Her expression softened, trying to help Link relax as a soft whine escaped from the back of his throat. His head turned to the side, tail starting to wag gently as Amaterasu removed her paws from his body. She got up from Link and shifted her body, paws readjusting her position as she turned her attention to that area between his legs. Link was flushing harder, feeling completely exposed in front of the literal goddess who was trying to give him comfort. It was working slowly...but feeling that all too familiar pressure in his lupine shaft was making him more worried than usual. He still hadn't reconciled the instincts of his wolf body with his human mind, uncertain as to how he could handle nature working his body into a natural state of arousal. Anytime it happened when he was with Midna, they were usually traveling and he could ignore it. But now? With Amaterasu literally standing over him and staring at it? With her head lowering down to his sheath and her warm breath washing over that exposed tip?

The realization of what was happening made Link shift around on his back, a soft moan escaping his throat as he felt the first warm, wet lick slicking back the fur of his sheath. His body shivered, head turning to look down at Amaterasu whose muzzle was open, tongue slowly caressing his sheath and manhood with eager shivers of delight rushing through Link's body. It was...unbelievable. The firm heat of her tongue lavishing attention upon his most sensitive area, bringing out more soft wuffs and gentle growls as his sheath twitched with every press. Amaterasu's tail was flicking around behind her, the wind continuing to brush across Link's body before he felt firm stroking along his sides. She was using her powers. He could tell by how the sensation of pressure along his belly, his neck, his sides, his tail, his legs all happened together...but so very slowly. It didn't feel like hands, but rather like the forces of nature were teasing him, trying to give him as much pleasure as possible. He could feel his hind legs stretching out to the sides, paws twitching as his hips idly rolled up into Amaterasu's muzzle. She took it as a positive sign the more he moaned and huffed, teasing along his sheath and lapping at the base, the opening, that shaft, that sac...everywhere it could reach to bring out more of those whimpering pants of need.

For someone who rarely attended to the needs of his body, it was getting hard for Link to keep quiet. His moans and pants were coming out loudly on the otherwise peaceful afternoon air, the few wildlife around them peeking at the two wolves engaging in meeting the carnal needs of their bodies. Amaterasu continued her licking, muzzle tilting and tongue exploring every inch of Link's underutilized sheath as she kept her tail flicking around in the background. The motions and movements along Link's fur were magical, and with the cadence of her tongue lovingly brushing up his erection? It was like a beautiful melody of pleasure and delight. He'd rarely felt anything so unbelievable, so magical in all his time that he could hardly find the words to express it. Well...he never did, but regardless? Amaterasu could work his sheath like nothing he could've ever imagined. Her paws came up to knead along his legs, stroking down toward his crotch as his tail flicked against her undercarriage. It was clear he was enjoying himself, Amaterasu stealing glances up at his face every so often to track his expression as he rolled his head to the side with his chest heaving from every breath. Clearly, it was time to move on.

With one last, long, wet lick, Amaterasu's tongue ran along her black lips while she moved up closer to Link. His attention was drawn back down to her, tongue still lolling out of the side of his muzzle as the white wolf prepared herself. She shifted right up to his lower body, head slowly coming closer before she opened her maw and took his throbbing length along her tongue. Her lips sealed around him, taking his rod inside of her muzzle before tilting her head, suckling on it tight, and letting her tongue roll over every inch she could reach. The yowl of delight that escaped from Link's muzzle echoed around the glade, his back arching as one of his paws reached out into the air and rested on Amaterasu's head. She opened her eyes for a brief moment, what seemed like a twinge of a smile at the edges of her lips as her head tilted to push her maw down to meet the opening of his sheath. Carefully, she started working herself into a rhythm, going back and forth at a teasing pace to encourage more of that thick lupine pride out of hiding. Link was hardly going to complain, panting and moaning and whining every time he felt that muzzle bob back against the tip of his shaft. Her front paws started to knead against his legs and sac once again, eliciting more of those sweet, needy moans from the dark wolf's throat. He was practically begging for more, one paw pressing down gently along her head as his claws stroked through that beautiful, unmarred fur. She was a goddess for a reason, her maw working Link over so expertly as to make him awash with pleasure he'd never experienced before. And Amaterasu had gone quite some time without sating the needs of her body. Stopping Orochi and saving all of Nipon took more energy than she could muster most days, and she rarely could get away from Issun. But today?

The two heroes would let their instincts run free.

They both lost track of time as Amaterasu continued to go down on Link's shaft, his tip eagerly leaking plenty of pre for Amaterasu to enjoy. She greedily drank it down, occasionally stopping for breaths before continuing on her journey to pleasure the wolf. Her tail continued to whip behind her, the stroking along his body never ceasing before she started to point the gentle breeze toward Link from her back. His nostrils flared as a strange scent caught his attention. His ears perked momentarily, sniffing the air as Link could see Amaterasu's tail working into overdrive behind her. It wasn't just the wind, but how her tail shifted back and forth behind her...he could catch her scent. His more sensitive nose was suddenly assaulted with something he couldn't quite explain, an earthy and natural musk that made his heart skip a few beats and pound visibly in his chest. His eyes went wide, whimpering heavily as a sudden burst of pre shot from his length down Amaterasu's throat. She gulped eagerly, taking a few more moments to suck along that thick rod before withdrawing her head slowly. Once her lips kissed his tip and removed themselves from his erection, a bridge of saliva connected the two which was quickly licked back into her maw. Now she was panting, the heat pulsating from her body as her eyes, markings, fur...every bit of her seemed to glow with a godly radiance. Her scent was intense, the heat hitting her body in a way she hadn't felt for ages as she padded up to Link and nuzzled along his chest. Her nose and maw brushed through his fur, teasing along some of his sensitive nipples which she licked softly every time she found one. Once she reached his neck, she began nipping and nuzzling his fur to keep working him up as much as she could.

Link was beside himself. His shaft was throbbing in the air at full length, glistening from the attention Amaterasu gave him while his arousal eagerly leaked down onto his belly. He pressed his head against Amaterasu's, humming and growling happily as his tail was thumping against the ground. It didn't take long before Amaterasu pulled her head back from Link and stared down at him, their eyes locking as they got lost in each other's gaze. Link's sky blue look of innocence and confusion, completely unfamiliar with his lupine body looking into Amaterasu's. That black stare with every color of the rainbow circling deep within...staring deep into Link. Seeing him. Encouraging him. Wanting him. Needing him. Begging him. He understood clearly...and his body was finding it impossible to say no, but the uncertainty. Laying with a goddess? As a wolf? There...were a number of issues he had with it, but the more he thought about it...the more he laid there and stared up at Amaterasu. The more he could taste that scent on the air and look down upon her divine body...he knew what he wanted. What he needed. But clearly...he was taking too much time. Amaterasu nudged him again and let out a soft wuff, kneading her paws as her tail started to flick behind her. Link knew that meant she was drawing something on the environment around them, and he assumed it was something to keep teasing him. And...for a second? He felt as if time stood still. Amaterasu was still moving, but there was a moment where he swore everything stopped. There was a light brushing along his body, against his chest and along his shaft more specifically. He took a second to tilt his head at Amaterasu before everything happened all at once.

A heat, the likes of which Link had never felt in his life, burst from his chest throughout his body as he let out a long, aching yowl. His voice carried out across the land, birds flying from their perches as he felt his cock twitching painfully between his legs. Link rolled onto his side, seeing the faint outline of a sideways eight against his chest and a large circle drawn in his fur around his shaft and sac. His breath was heaving, legs shakily pushing him up to all fours as the fire inside his body started to burn unabated. Everything was hot. His hips bucked in the air as he could hardly contain his excitement. He was drooling from his muzzle, maw hanging open with his tongue greedily panting in the air while arousal dripped off of his shaft at the same rate. His eyes were wide, legs wobbly as he felt a gentle and suggestive nudge against his flank. Amaterasu had shifted, her head nuzzling along his rear before her tail idly brushed along his neck. His head craned toward her, nose pressed up against the base of her tail before he found that scent flooding his senses. Without thinking, that cold nose pad drifted down to her spade, pressing against it and taking in a deep breath as Amaterasu shifted with a soft yip. He'd never experienced anything like it...her carnal heat, the scent literally dripping from those black lips as he couldn't resist opening his muzzle and lapping deeply along the surface. His tongue teased at the entrance, gracing her vulva with his own warm attention as her body tensed before shivering in welcome pleasure. Her own maw hung open in a pant, bracing her legs as she pressed back against his muzzle which he greeted with more of those deep, hungry licks.

Link could hardly contain himself, a mixture of his saliva and her arousal pooling along the fur of his muzzle and dripping down the bridge as he hungrily ate her out. He couldn't control his body, needing more of that scent, of that taste, of that arousal. His head tilted to the side as his maw opened wide and he greedily lapped along her spade with his tongue pressing inside. Amaterasu, for the first time since they met, let out a long moaning whine of delight as her claws dug into the grass beneath her. The breeze picked up in a gentle gust, the trees and flowers around them seeming to bloom slightly as the deity was clearly enjoying the pleasure. Link couldn't contain his need, his crimson shaft standing out against his white fur as it twitched and pulsed up against his body. He could still feel his hips bucking as Amaterasu's tail traced soft circles around his neck, against his head, down his side. The two were going at it eagerly, hardly wasting a second as their bodies craved more. Amaterasu's upper body was down against the grass, her head rolling to the side as she continued to let out happy and eager growls of delight. She hadn't felt the pleasures of her body in...ages. She couldn't remember the last time she let another wolf, let alone another creature uncover the secrets of her need. The sun seemed to shine a touch brighter the more Link lapped at her, his nose buried in her fur as he drank in her scent and tasted her sweet nectar.

They stayed in that position for quite some time, both Link and Amaterasu having formed their own notable puddles of arousal beneath their bodies. Every time Link felt as if his energy was waning, Amaterasu's tail drew a soft circle around another part of his body and he suddenly felt completely revitalized and rejuvenated. He couldn't explain it, but the shivers and thrusting of his hips just kept coming as he drank and lapped and rumbled into Amaterasu's hinds. His muzzle was glistening her need, tongue licking up the side of his mouth as he pulled away with a pant. His eyes were dull, lost in the fog of his lust as Amaterasu stood up on shaky legs. Her head brushed under his, panting into his neck as she gave him a few soft nips. The favor was quickly returned, Link pressing his nose against one of her ears as he lapped along it and huffed deeply against it. The sensation of hot breath against her fur made Amaterasu shiver, feeling so out of her element as Link's tongue was drooling down onto her otherwise pristine fur coat. And yet...she loved it. The messiness. The sloppiness. The sheer enjoyment from the pleasures of the flesh, enjoying the gifts of the mortal realm as Link continued to shower her with attention. She felt like a fledgling despite her years upon years of experience and knowledge, completely at the mercy of this wolf while pushing him further and further with her powers.

Link, meanwhile? This was all new territory to him. He wasn't sexual. He wasn't dominant. He wasn't really...anything other than a hero. But feeling Amaterasu's body beneath him, feeling that warm, sun-warmed coat of fur pressing up against his body while her muzzle moaned and whimpered into his neck...it awakened something within the hero. He could feel his heart thumping throughout his body, his sheath straining as his sword throbbed and twitched with every pulse of blood in his veins. He'd never experienced so much need...so much pent up lust than he did when with Amaterasu in that moment. Her scent, her body, her tail, her eyes, her everything just sent him into a spiral of raw heat and intensity that was impossible for him to understand. Everything was hot...spinning in his head as he was getting dizzy from the thirst. He didn't understand what he wanted, but he knew so very well what he needed. The thoughts, the instincts, the carnal growling from the back of his throat...it all pointed to one thing and only one thing. He was a Hylian in reality, but for now? He was a wolf. A wolf with a beautiful wolfess beneath him ready and willing and teasing him with every passing second. The new scents in his nose. The taste along his tongue. The heat in his shaft. The thumping of his lupine heart. He always felt like an awkward Hylian in a wolf's body, but not today. Today...he was embracing the wolf within him. He was a wolf. He was in need. She was in heat.

And there was only one way to solve that.

The two of them separated at the same time, Amaterasu pulling away from him as her tail brushed up along his undercarriage and teased along his length. She drew a long, aching line up his body before flicking against his muzzle and lifting her tail up for him to see her prize. She was panting and staring back at him expectantly, every single color glimmering in her gaze as Link was mesmerized by the sight. His legs were shaking, shaft dripping more as he licked up his lips and approached almost immediately. The two were communicating non-verbally for so long, but now? Now it was like silence between the two as Link heaved his body up against her back and wrapped his front paws around her flanks. The position felt so natural to him, quickly falling into the motions as he pulled himself further up against her body. He could feel the divine instrument along her back slowly fade away to make space for him before his shaft brushed up against her heavenly body. A full-body shiver struck, his claws scratching against her fur and feeling the skin underneath. She was so warm...so incredibly warm underneath him as he let out multiple pent-up breaths against her neck. Her neck craned up, allowing him better access to nip at her and nuzzle along the sides which brought out plenty of happy yips and pants from the white wolf. His hips continued to buck at her backside, pre smearing along her hinds as he was desperately trying to find his mark. And yet, neither seemed to mind. Both were enjoying the sensations of Link on top of Amaterasu as their latent instincts started to take over. Amaterasu hadn't given into her carnal wild need in eons. Link had never experienced it before. They were both out of their element...but they were able to figure everything out very quickly.

A few more thrusts along her hinds and Link finally felt his shaft pressing up against her spade, Amaterasu letting out a sudden gasping yelp as she shivered beneath him. Link took that as the sign he needed before he pulled back one more time and slowly rolled his body forward. The reward was a heat unlike any he'd felt in his life, seeing stars in his vision as her body eagerly welcomed the hero's pride. It slowly slipped inside, feeling the heat and slick sensations of her walls welcoming his length into her divine body. It was impossible to wrap his mind around the feeling - the heat already coursing through his body and erupting like a solar flare as he moaned heavily and bit down hard on the back of her neck. Amaterasu wasn't doing much better, her hind legs shaking and her body shivering from the feeling of his cock rolling against her lips and brushing against her most personal space. She shut her eyes with a heavy whine, gritting her teeth before moaning out eagerly and pressing back against his body. The result was more of that stroking, his flesh slipping in deeper and disappearing within those black lips while the two of them struggled to keep any sense of control within them. It was impossible. The throbbing inside of Amaterasu and the heat surrounding Link. The wolves were wrapped in a wild embrace, Link's paws eagerly pulling Amaterasu further underneath him as Amaterasu practically begged for more.

Slowly...ever so slowly, Link rolled his hips back to let his pleasure center slip out of her body before dragging himself firmly and achingly slowly up toward her fur The sensation made Amaterasu practically lose her stance, Legs buckling as she almost fell to the ground and felt her ears splay back against her head while Link leaned further over her and nipped along the nape of her neck. He was really feeling the instincts picking up...waiting until just the tip of his wood teased her entrance. Once he could feel the breeze fully against his flesh, he thrust in again with a growl while biting down harder against her fur. The vibrations of his snarling was reverberating through her body, making her pant and whimper heavier each time he thrust into her body. His rhythm was picking up steadily while the bulge at the opening of his sheath started to inflate. He shut his eyes tight, losing himself in the thrusting as he could only picture her body. Her eyes. Her snatch. Her beautiful tail brushing against him, rubbing against him, muzzle wrapping around his lupine pride as he opened his muzzle with a sudden yelp. A strong shot of pre shot into her body as her tail flicked around behind them, the divine wind picking up and bringing a cold breeze along their backs and down their sides. The sensation of their combined heat with the cool wind ruffling their fur just pushed them even further into their need. Their pleasure. Their wanton breeding.

Link continued to mount Amaterasu and thrust in and out of her body over and over again, the sun overhead moving through the sky as they lost themselves in the mating press. Neither had experienced release in some time, and the floodgates of their pleasure had just been opened. Neither wanted it to end. Neither wanted it to abate. Amaterasu continued to stoke the flames of Link's body as well as her own as her tail wildly flicked behind them and used her divine brush to push them deeper and further into their lust, their need, their ecstasy. Seconds turned to minutes turned to longer as Link's hips were hammering and thumping against Amaterasu's hinds, his paws hooked around her thighs as he kept her body as close to his hips as he could. They couldn't fully connect, his knot inflated and bounced against her vulva while black met red and the slick noises combined with their whines and pants and moans and growls. Harder and heavier Link thrust, trying desperately to tie with Amaterasu and experience the true need that only his wolf instincts could give him. He didn't understand what was moving his body or how he was falling into it so naturally, but it didn't matter. The more pre he spilled into Amaterasu and the more arousal that flooded from her along his shaft, his knot, his paws below as the humping and thrusting and bucking continued unabated. Amaterasu could tell he was getting frustrated, needing that knot to tie with her as she panted and looked back at him. He let go of her neck as he gritted his teeth with repeated whimpers of irritation, her eyes tracking his body as she was feeling that plateau approaching for both of them. So maybe...just a little bit of help. Her eyes flashed as her tail flicked, and for just a split second, Link froze. And then...

His grunting yowl came out loudly as the sudden slickness of his knot made it so he pressed in with one heavy thrust and tied her with a loud, wet pop. They both grunted and moaned, Link's large paws gripping her thighs and lower body for dear life as his humping turned erratic. Every pull back on that bulb caused a rush of emotions he couldn't describe, feeling that tie as he was stuck inside of Amaterasu's clutch. His breathing picked up while he shivered, the fur on his neck standing up while he tried to wrap his mind around the sensations. It was impossible. Feeling his knot being tugged and squeezed and surrounded by that heat was unbearable, the pleasure picking up exponentially as it started to fill his body with a terribly wonderful warmth. Amaterasu wasn't doing much better, that length filling her body and making her feel that radiating heat like the sun shining brightly at high noon spreading all throughout her body. It rushed through her face, her body, her heart, her tail, her paws...every inch of her each time that knot tugged along her walls. She let out multiple yelps and whines, feeling Link pushing her closer and closer to that edge. Their breathing was coming out in heavy pants, wanton moans as they both were so close to falling off that abyss and into their pleasure. More tugs. More growls. More strokes. More nips. Over and over and over Link was pulling on his knot as Amaterasu pressed back against his body. The panted. Link gripped her hinds. Amaterasu's claws dug into the ground. Their eyes closed. Their bodies tensed. The sun flared. The wind blew. Harder. Faster. Heavier. Hotter. Deeper and deeper and deeper. Another tug. Another bite. Another moan. It kept going. And going. And going. And going!! The seconds ticked by slowly, both of them feeling that all too familiar pressure building up higher and higher and higher and higher until...until...Until!!

With a mighty howl, Link threw his head back and lost total control of his body. He felt that pressure release, his shaft erupting as he shot off into Amaterasu with a wave of his seed. The first jet of his climax hit deep, splashing along her inner walls and further before another jet followed by another and another. Each time his knot was tugged by her spade, he let out another moaning growl as one more thick splash of his cum filled her body. None of it escaped, his knot swollen and bulging before he heard another howl echo just after his own. Suddenly, the heat increased tenfold as his eyes went wide and he collapsed on top of Amaterasu's back. Her own climax hit as her body practically burst to a flame with the pleasure erupting in her intense and godly orgasm. Her whole body shook, Link's prick completely soaked in the wave of her heat as it brought forth another renewed thrust of his shaft as more of his thick seed shot inside of her. His eyes rolled up into his head, tongue lolling outside of his muzzle as he couldn't stop his hips from bucking into hers. She could hardly control her howling, head on its side and pressed against the grass as she stretched out her front legs and felt her powers flaring inside of her. That orgasm was rocking her to the core, legs and body twitching as the divine wind flared and gusted and breezed past both of them. Neither could control their bodies, needing to milk out every last bit of that pleasure so they could revel in it. Cherish it. Never forget it for as long as they lived.

Thrust after hump after whimper after yowl. The minutes passed by as Link swore he hit three separate climaxes and Amaterasu lost count. Their bodies were out of their control, following unspoken instincts as Link's knot continued to throb and pulse against Amaterasu. The two of them were gasping for breath, soft nips and eager licks escaping from both of them as the moment turned from insatiable lust to intimate need. The butterflies were flapping in their stomachs as the radiant heat washed through them both. Slowly, the two wolves could feel the aching need of their climax fading away as the exhaustion was starting to take over. Link gave a few last thrusts as the final pulses of his seed spilled out of his tip and laid to rest along Amaterasu's walls. Her own body started to relax, loosening its vice grip on that lupine length as she could hardly support her own body. Her hind legs gave out as she fell down to the ground with a heavy thud and Link followed immediately after, still tied with her and unable to separate from her grip. He shivered with a huff, panting as his tongue hung out from the side of his muzzle while the two of them lay there in the afternoon sun, the musk of their mating ever present in the glade as the two of them were lost in the afterglow of that intense mounting.

Minutes passed...life eventually stirring underneath Link as he lifted his head curiously. Amaterasu was shifting her body, wigging as her hind legs pulled in close to her body and Link let out a few yelps from the tugs on his knot. Eventually, Amaterasu was able to situate herself on her back, wrapping her front legs around Link as he was still buried deep inside of her. He looked surprised, the white wolf's eyes lidded as her black lips pulled into a smile. She looked...lovely. Beautiful. Majestic, even, as the sunlight reflected against her black irises and that white pelt glittered like it was surrounded by magic. The sudden thumping of Link's tail against Amaterasu's own made him turn around with a soft blush before one of her paws lightly batted at his cheek. He turned his attention back down to her, that muzzle closer than he remembered as he felt those lips press against his own in what was almost a human kiss. His eyes went wide for a moment, hesitating before splaying his ears back against his head and tilting his muzzle against hers. They sat there for a moment in that embrace, Amaterasu's tongue slipping out to idly lick Link's nose before they pulled back. The two wolves smiled at each other, Link bringing his nose forward to idly nuzzle it against Amaterasu's as they both started to rub their cheeks and muzzles against each other. It was a nice, intimate moment after they both hung up their hero mantles for a brief while and engaged in something...more. Something beyond themselves that neither had experienced in ages...if ever. Neither wanted to use one specific word to describe it, but Amaterasu knew the difference between being mounted and something deeper. Something...more. And as Link snuggled in against her chest and laid his head along the crook of her neck, she smiled a bit wider before grooming the bridge of his muzzle and let the exhausted wolf fall asleep.

Maybe they wouldn't be parting ways after all...

~

Not too far away in the undergrowth on the edge of the clearing, two creatures watched the wolves tied together and slowly dozing off in the middle of that beautiful glade. One was leaning against a tree with a wide grin while the other was idly bouncing on her shoulder. "You think we should tell Linky there Amaterasu knew the path the whole time?" Midna asked softly, trying to keep her voice down as Issun turned to her.

"...Nah. Look at them. I don't think either's been able to really relax like that in forever. At least, I know furball hasn't."

"Hmm...you're right. Besides, Linky there hasn't...'let loose' since we've been traveling together. Poor pup was probably all pent up."

"Really?? HOW??" Midna just shrugged and silently pushed off of the tree to walk back toward the path. The two of them were casually sauntering through the woods, trying to keep either wolf from knowing they were there.

"He's a weird one. But...a sweet guy. And something tells me you'll find out exactly how sweet he can be."

"What do you mean?"

"Look, I don't know Amaterasu, but I do know when a girl is getting hooked. And what she was doing after they finished? That wasn't just being horny. That was...more."

"More? What do you mean, more?" Midna stopped, tilting her head before looking at Issun with a soft smile and a raised brow.

"I mean...I think she's in love."
