Summary: The eff is this. We are not amused. :| Also, music and exploration.
Warnings: None yet; will edit if something comes up.


[After the chaos of the past few days, hearing soft music ringing throughout the tower might seem disorienting. Perhaps it's another trick, something to lull one into a false sense of security... but those that follow the medley will find it has nothing to do with the tower itself.

Rather, it's coming from a regal looking young woman and the small blue instrument that she carries with utmost care. Those sensitive to it will feel magic resonating with the notes themselves, swelling and building with each song until ultimately...

Nothing. It just vanishes into thin air.

The young woman sighs, a look of frustration crossing her face, and continues on in her exploration.]

Comments

[reflectionofsin]

[He stops advancing and rolls his eyes. Your fear would be flattering if it wasn't so counter productive.]

Because I have no reason to lie. Like I said, we're the last ones left. I have no Master to serve now, and thus no reason to act aggressively towards yourself.

[sageprincess]

Is that the only reason you worked against us?

[It's something of a rhetorical question, of course. But then she has to address this "we're the last of our world" thing.]

Our captors are lying. The Goddesses would never allow Hyrule to be destroyed so completely like they claim. Whatever you have seen is a fabrication.

[reflectionofsin]

[He hesitates on that question for a moment. Flickers of something like confusion crossing his face. He didn't bow his head to anyone. Not being an obedient pushover is what separates him from his twin. So that means if he'd fought against you then he must have wanted to. But...he doesn't want to now. At least not in the life or death sense he used to. The only thing that's different is that Ganondorf is gone. So does that mean... No. No it just means things have changed for some reason, but the point is that none of this matters anyway so shut up.

After his brief internal struggle his answer comes out oddly final.]

Yes it was.


Well, I for one know Ganondorf is dead. Not sealed, not dormant, not even dead in the normal, potentially resurrected sense. He's fully gone.

[It's this weird new feeling of free will that he hasn't quite gotten in touch with yet. He doesn't look happy or angry or much of any emotion about describing his master's non-existence. He just looks sure.]

You of all people should know how difficult that would be to accomplish.

[sageprincess]

[...Odd. He almost seemed thoughtful for a moment there. It makes her quirk her head and narrow her eyes ever so slightly, as if attempting to discern what he's thinking. Honestly, she had expected another sarcastic jab, and the strange sincerity of his words catches her off guard, unsure how to respond.

So she doesn't, instead moving on to discussing their situation.]

...I do, which is why I find it unlikely. Perhaps they are disrupting your-- [How to describe it?] --ability just as they are canceling the Ocarina's magic.

[She just... refuses to believe that all she's struggled for has been for naught. Even if that means admitting that the Evil King may still be around.]

[reflectionofsin]

[He's not eager to grasp at the possibility that his master is still alive. He's not glad he's gone, but at the same time, he's not mourning his absence in any way either. Normally when Ganon dies, Dark Link is forced to endure decades of gut wrenching purposelessness. The lack of an objective causes him to feel edgy and strained. He's not feeling that now. It's a novel feeling for him to be without orders, yet to be relatively content at the same time. He's not sure what any of this means.]

If they have enough power to cancel out magic bestowed by the goddesses, then it's easily possible that they have enough to destroy worlds as well. Forces such as these are not easily disrupted.


[He begins to pace in a wide circle around her, folding his arms across his own chest.]

[sageprincess]

[His pacing makes her nervous, and she follows him with her gaze, never letting her eyes off him. Just what are you thinking, Shadow?]

But what end would necessitate the destruction of Hyrule? Why won't our "saviors" tell us how the worlds were destroyed or what destroyed them, when it is clear that our safety is not their top priority?

[Some of those floors she passed on the way here were pretty scary, man.]

No, there must be some other explanation.
