Mercy never had the chance to live, and in that aspect, she was no different from everyone else in the world who wasn't a slave to the dark lord. Even with those massive variables on her life, she held a trait of stubbornness. To lose the fight with Daphnes was not just to simply lose a fight. The gesture to her was meant as a lesson; she had very much to learn. Her interpretation surmised to be a much different lesson. She simply stood to the side, as though she was a wolf who'd lost the fight to become alpha.<br/><br/>She simply remained quiet, she didn't feel there was a point to speaking. She set her gaze on the beings that were arriving. She spotted more Kokiri, though they were almost<span style="font-style: italic">plentiful</span>in this forest, a word Mercy was unfamiliar with. Out where she spend her life, there was never an abundance of anything except dead plants and dirt. Then, more beings came, the one that caught her eye was the Zora. Mercy cocked one of her eyebrows up, there was no way she was really seeing this. She was certain that something so graceful was simply made up in this world. And if not made up, than certainly destroyed by now. Surely enough, one stood before her. But with this war, if it could be called one, even the graceful were forced to fight. It was clear beyond a thought that this woman had been through struggles and fights recently, as had most of the people there.<br/><br/>Her half-admiring and half-skeptical gaze of thought was interpreted by a man shouting at none other than Daphnes. Mercy had no shield and certainly was not capable of taking on a fireball. In these situations, Mercy had learned to survive by picking her time to strike. Without waiting for Daphnes to speak, she was gone, in a bush not far. Her hands clutched her swords, her thoughts ran rampant in her mind. This man was going to destroy the only lands with actual life left in it, he was going to burn it down. Mercy relied on her ears to tell her when to kill this man, as she stared down at her blade. She saw it in her head, the whole forest burning down. The Kokiri would scatter, and the Great Deku Tree would be history. The beautiful Zora would be killed, along with the beautiful trees and grass only this forest offered. The world would be exactly what it was, but finally wholesome with this last beacon of hope gone.<br/><br/>Mercy gritted her teeth, the pair of men were close. And just as she decided was about to kill this abomination of a person, she heard the sound of a shield drop. Her silent breaths annoyed her, she could hardly make out the words. But what she was certain of was that it was over. She rose from her hiding spot shortly after, her teeth gritted. She wasn't sure what personal conflict had gone on, but it could have costed what was left of the world.<br/><br/>It wasn't until then that she first took true note of the giant. She wasn't even aware of their name, only that there was now something else she didn't truly believe in that was in front of her. She'd have felt foolish She took one good look at him, with her eyebrows arched. He was massive and she very much did not want to get into a fight with him. His earth-like texture was fascinating. Mercy stood still for a moment, everyone seemed to be waiting. She stood still with them for a few moments, until she decided she couldn't stand still.<br/><br/>In a split second decision, she went off to catch up to Daphnes and the man he'd called Eyal.
