"I know you're angry about Aliza's loss," Rue said after a moment, lowering her voice now so that only Amplisa could hear her. Amplisa cut her off before she could continue any further.

"I am angry about the loss of all my sisters," she said flatly. Rue raised an eyebrow at her.

"And well you should be," she said. "But if you think I am not aware of the fact that although we are all equal in the Goddess' eyes, we do occasionally pick favourites, you would be sadly mistaken." She leaned easily on the railing, looking away from Amplisa. "Aliza was more than your sister, Amplisa. Do not lie to me. You and she were close and you feel her loss more keenly than the others. You are prepared to seek vengeance for her more keenly than the others. I do not fault you for it, nor do I disapprove. Quite the contrary. All I ask, is that you be careful." Amplisa blinked and peered over at her.

"Why?" She asked. Rue's face took on a wry cast.

"Because the King has his own favourites as well, and you happen to fall under that group. As did Aliza. It will be hard enough, once he escapes the Dark World, to deal with the inevitable loss of women that will result from the coming battles. Harder still to deal with the loss of his favourites. And each favourite he loses only increases his burden." Amplisa was silent for a moment.

"Carrying a burden can make you stronger," she said after a long moment.

"Ah," said Rue, "but our King is not like our usual Kings. He is different, and his strength is of a different kind. You should know him well enough to know that."

"We shouldn't coddle him like we do," Amplisa answered, though her words lacked conviction.

"We don't," Rue answered. "If anything he coddles us, I think, though at times it's hard to see." She turned away from the horizon and moved back towards the ladder, pausing as she started her descent.

"I think, perhaps, I was incorrect in using the word favourites," she said, and Amplisa at last turned from the horizon to meet her gaze. Rue's face was neutral as usual. "I believe, he would refer to them as friends." And with that, her grey head disappeared down the ladder.

How about spending around 6 hours coloring and shading a drawing, then taking all the flat color layers under the shading, putting them on top by mistake at the end and realizing it look so much better this way? Well it sucks xD. After that, I spent something like 30 minutes cell shading and tada! Screw the gradient, seriously, it just never worked for me.

Anyway, I've been reading the sequel the the fanfiction The Legend of Zelda - The Return, which is called The Legend of Zelda - Reconciliation, and I am as much addicted. I must admit I did prefer the other one though (maybe because there was less 'interludes' and more of Link), but I swear, A Link to the Past never looked that epic *_*. I'm just very sad it's not completed and I have 2 chapters left before falling to an eternal cliff hanger ;_;

Through those 2 stories, I must say I just fell for the Gerudos. I love them, they are awesome. I just love how ~KA-Rose portrayed the whole system and personalities. So, after reading this little part of chapter 17, I decided I wanted a break from homework and tried to draw another Gerudo Elite (like the previous fanart I did) named Amplisa. I just found this little passage adorable for some reason (little not for those not familiar with the story: Rue is a 70 years-old Gerudo and their King in this story is actually Link). I think I'll draw every of Rose's original Gerudo xD. Next should be Neesha I guess.. She is one of the main characters after all
