The two years old ruby eyed Hylian watched his four years old older brother play off with his friend. The middle brother had dressed up as the Legendary Hero from a very old legend. In these days the said legend was nothing but a story. The golden haired boy’s friend had dressed up as a Sheikah from that said legend. Unlike the Hero, the Sheikahs were still around even though their work had changed dramatically over the centuries. Even the outfit of theirs had changed. Yet, they still worked in secrecy even though their organization was mostly known of.

Darky watched how the duo were having a play fight. Sheik was using his agility and things he had so far learned from his father. Link had a toy sword and shield and he tried to match his friend’s fighting. They were having lot of fun  which was the reason the youngest brother wanted to join in.

The young child had dressed up like his older brother but with one difference. While Link’s clothes were mainly green, his was black. He hadn’t wanted to dress up like a monster from those scary stories but he still wanted to be part of their play and have a part in the fight. So, he chose the Legendary Hero’s Dark Side, the Shadow.

Darky grinned as he started to sneak closer to his brother. The two scuffling boys didn’t notice him coming at them. The two years old kid was fully planning on jumping on his brother and scare him. Suddenly the two years older boys moved closer to him while, and fully in accident, hit him.

Darky was both surprised and shocked as he gasped at the hit he received. Yet, on that instant tears started to well up in his eyes as he sat there on the floor. Before long he was already wailing loudly while crying. “DAAAKUUU!! WAAAAHH! LILI HIT ME!!!”” He screamed as his feelings were more hurt than the spot in his head where the duo had unintentionally struck into.

Both Link and Sheik were thoroughly shocked when they realized to have hit into something. Just before they even understood Darky being there, his crying and screaming already caused them to connect the dots of what had happened. “Oh crap! Darky! I’m so sorry!!” The older brother already apologized while trying to get close to his crying brother. Yet, Darky didn’t let him close. Instead, he just kept crying and screaming for their oldest brother.

Dark, the six years old boy and the duo’s oldest brother, was already coming down to see what was going on. “Daaaaakuuuuu!!” The youngest whined loudly while raising his hands towards his oldest brother the moment he saw him. The older of the two ruby eyed brothers picked the younger one up into his arms straight off.

“Ssh, it’s okay....” Dark whispered while turning his gaze into his younger brother and his friend. “What happened?” He inquired before already frowning at the way the duo was dressed up.

“Lili hit me.....” Darky whined in defiant voice while still sniffling every now and then and holding tightly to his oldest brother. Dark was bit startled of the exclamation but he highly doubted it to have happened intentionally.

Link looked both shocked and ashamed. “I-it was an accident! We didn’t even know Darky was there!” He explained straight off after the claim but he soon dropped his gaze down. “If we had known, we would’ve been more careful....” He half mumbled.

Dark sighed bit in relief and nodded. After having sat down to the floor he gently moved Darky bit off of him and started to check where the hit had struck into. “It wasn’t fully Link’s fault, Dark. I think we both hit Darky in accident.” Sheik told sorrowfully. The oldest brother just simply nodded and hummed a bit in understanding. Yet, his main notion was in calming down his youngest brother.

“Where did they hit you, Darky?” Dark inquired calmly since he wasn’t able to find the right place. The youngest slumped a bit and dropped his gaze down.

“Idonknow....” Darky mumbled while starting to sniffle again.

Dark smiled bit sorrowfully and gently kissed the side of Darky’s head. “In here?” The oldest brother inquired carefully.

“Dunno....” Darky replied quietly but he blinked a bit when Dark kissed another spot.

“In here?”

“Maybe....”

Dark grinned a bit and kissed a third place. “In here?” He once again asked but right after that, without giving his brother a chance to reply, he started to gently tickle him. Darky shrieked and started to squirm while laughing.

“Not fair! Not fair!” The youngest whined but he couldn’t deny how much he liked the situation. Both Link and Sheik watched bit startled at the scene. After a short moment, Dark hugged his youngest brother tightly and kissed the top of his head. Darky was still bit giggling but he was calming down and smiling happily.

“So, what are you three playing as?” Dark inquired while pulling Darky bit off and holding him bit above the floor to get a look of his youngest brother’s clothes.

“Imma daak Helo!” Darky exclaimed in glee and started to giggle. Dark chuckled and smiled widely.

“Is that so?” The oldest brother asked while expertly faking being surprised. Darky hummed happily in agreement and nodded repeatedly. The older of the two chuckled while smiling widely. “I see.” He replied and pulled his brother back into hug. “So, if Darky’s the dark Hero, then what are you two?” Dark queried while looking from his brother into Sheik and back.

Link blushed a bit while ending up looking bit ashamed. “Um...... The Hero..... From the legend....” He answered tad uncertainly while scratching the back of his head.

“I think that’s a perfect choice, bro.” Dark told and pulled one arm free from holding his youngest brother. Right after that he took a hold of his younger brother’s arm and pulled him down into a hug. “Works perfectly for you.” He complimented before already giving a kiss to the top of Link’s head.

The middle brother had bit gasped at the pull but he very soon relaxed and smiled in the hold. Dark turned his gaze from his brothers into Sheik. “And you would be...?” He asked even though he already knew.

“The Sheikah who helped the Hero in the legend. Aaaand who’s got the same name as I do....” Sheik answered while slightly blushing but he was fully grateful of being able to hide it into the scarf like bandages.

“So, what’s the occasion for the dressing up game?” He asked while slowly nodding to the kid’s answer.

“Halloween!” Darky half shouted before already starting to repeat the word over and over again while giggling happily and bit bouncing in his brother’s lap. Dark chuckled and tried to calm his youngest brother down before his leg would be full of bruises.

“I see. So does this mean I should pick my costume from the legend too?” He inquired since he knew he had to dress up into a costume too before going for trick or treating with his brothers. If any of possibilities, Darky only ended up being even wilder at that question.

“Aha! Aha! Whatcha gonna be, Daaku? The hideous LeDead? The scaly Stalfos? The tellifying Dead Hand?” The youngest asked while getting more and more excited which fully got him to forget about practicing with the r-letter and hence turning into an l-letter.

Dark chuckled and shook his head at how funny his youngest brother sounded with the lack of r-letter. “None of those. Don’t wanna scare everyone.” He replied with a grin. “But this is a very hard question and I have to think about it.” The oldest brother continued with even wider grin.

“B-but.....! Halloween’s today!!” Darky exclaimed in shock and slumped fully. “You folgot, didn’t ya....” He mumbled sorrowfully. Dark laughed and grinned even wider. The youngest brother was fully shocked and he raised his gaze up in confusion.

“I haven’t forgotten the day. Not in long shot. I just gotta do the finishing touches to my costume and we’re good to go.” The oldest brother told before leaning down and kissing Darky’s forehead. “Now, you three play it nice while I go to get my costume ready. After that we can head off for trick or treating.” He continued and kissed Link’s forehead too before gently pushing his brothers off of his lap so he’d get up.

“Oki!” Darky half shouted but he glomped Link on the second both he and his older brother were off of their oldest brother’s lap. “We’ll play it vely nice!” The youngest told happily right before he already started the play wrestling.

About a half an hour later Dark came back down. “So, you three ready for the trick or treat round?” He inquired while grinning at the shocked and admiring gazes he got. The oldest brother had taken up the costume of a Zora guitarist, Mikau. He even had the guitar done out of a gigantic fish’s bones.... It was, of course, just fabric but still.

As Darky figured out his oldest brother’s costume, his mood dropped. “If you gonna be Mikau, I’m not gonna have much of notion....” He mumbled while slumping. Dark chuckled and shook his head. He walked to his youngest brother and picked him up.

“You got that part wrong, bro.” Dark told with a slight grin. “Both you and Sheik are from the first legend. Link’s from both the first and second. I’m from the second.” He started and very quickly silenced Darky from starting to complain about the facts. “But, the Hero faced his dark side before the second legend. So, you are still very important character in it. In fact, I’d say you were the most important character in the whole legend. Without you, the Hero wouldn’t be who he is. Facing you was the hardest fight for him and hence the most important one too.” The oldest brother explained calmly.

Darky blinked in surprise before already starting to smile. “So, are you saying I was even more important than the last fight in the first legend?” He inquired calmly while feeling bit hopeful. And as he actually paid attention into his talking, his words came out right too.

Dark smiled and nodded. “Definitely.” He answered without a second’s hesitation. Darky broke into a wide smile as his happy mood was returned. “So, you ready to go?” The oldest brother asked while putting his brother back down. The youngest one nodded eagerly while almost bouncing up and down on his place. Dark chuckled, checked the places and led the trio out of the house.

The trio’s father was meant to take them for the trick or treating but he had ended up having a longer day. It was nothing new for Dark to look after his younger brothers so it didn’t change the plans. It only meant that their father wasn’t along but the six year old boy was more than enough to protect his brothers and his younger brother’s friend.

The bags the trio had along were creation of the youngest brother. Darky had done bit of a werewolf decorated bag for himself. Link got a dark forest scenery of squirrels having dressed up into Halloween costumes. In Dark’s bag was bit more scary with two werewolves fighting in the light of a full moon. Sheik’s bag wasn’t creation of Darky’s. It was just simple Halloween pumpkin like normal bag.

As the younger kids went to knock on the door, Dark stayed back. He didn’t feel like he’d be too old but he bit feared to be taking the notion into him instead of his brothers. After all, he had a full costume while his brothers only had different clothes as well as toy sword and shield along. Only if the one answering to the door inquired about him did he come closer to join. Or if the trio was going to knock on the door of bit scarier house or in a not so good looking area. And even then it was for the safety and protection than going for the trick or treat.

In the end Darky, with the happy mood and wide smile, was the one with most of the candies. Dark, having stayed back, had the least of the treats. Link and Sheik were more or less even with the amount of their catch. Though, it didn’t matter since the four of them shared the candies into equally sized patches. If there were some bigger things like a chocolate egg and only one of such, the one who had gained it chose what to do with it, keep or give to someone or to share with everyone. Usually it went for sharing.

After having shared the candy and spend couple of hours at the trio’s place, Sheik left home. Though, he didn’t go alone. Dark wanted to make sure he’d get home safely so he offered to walk with him. And this ended up with both Link and Darky wanting to come along too.

Once the trio was back home, they got ready for bed. Dark stayed very strict with this part even though he did allow leaving brushing their teeth off. Once they had washed up and calmed down a bit, the trio got comfy in Dark’s room in his bed. Few more or less scary stories later, the trio snuggle up close to each other in middle of the candy sea. Well, there might not have been enough of candy as for a sea but enough to get them surrounded by it.
