[At some point last night, the following dreams unfolds. A beast of a man imprisoned, executed, and rises again to have his revenge. A shining sword is carried and is familiar to any who have seen him in combat. He is thrust into a portal What follows after that is an hour of nothing but an empty void with darkness all around. It is a hell of nothingness, where senses are meaningless, and despair and hatred is all that can fester. Eventually the dream comes to an end, for anyone who would bother to follow something so long.]

[Today]

Traitors and cowards have burned and plundered my kingdom. Those that profess to be righteous have slain those I valued most. There are many debts I have yet to settle. Not one has yet been forgotten. For now, the path to return home is an arduous one, but I relish the challenge.

The day will come that I will dream of more than that endless void.

[Until now, his tone seemed sad and nostalgic. There was an anger and hatred that lingered beneath the surface, but was suppressed. Now, he returns to his usual mannerism. Calculated and cold, yet proud and arrogant all a the same time. Unseen, the Demon King toys with the piece of star that is the source of his dream and nostalgia. He may not relish it being shared for all to see, but he senses something special with it. He has chosen to keep it.]

A cool wind blows through the city today, relieving the heat of a summer's day. Perhaps tonight it will rain yet again. [A pause and now when he speaks, it seems very pointed to any who listen.] The Castle of Mair has been returned to Unseelie hands. All are welcome to visit the city. I promise it a unique experience from what may be found in the rest of the Drabwurld. But if you come into this domain seeking war, then you will find it tenfold.

No, nor could they have been. They were poorly led men. Many had not yet sobered from idle festivities, but it was only those with the drink in them that showed any courage. One can take coin for holding a sword and watching a wall, but it does not make a warrior.

[ morgana laughs. ] They may as well have never mounted a defense in the first place.

Do you take any prisoners? Or did they all fall?

[Ganondorf may have his pride, but he is not one for empty boasting, even if he's being encouraged into it. All the same, he can't derive any particular satisfaction out of an easy victory.]

For now, the dungeons are full. Time will tell which prisoners may yet serve a purpose and those which no longer have one.

Should you require assistance in discerning which have use and which do not, call upon me. I have many ways to effectively garner information.

[In truth, this is a task for he is more than sufficient. But he is curious as to her methods. And so he pauses to consider.]

If you think yourself suited for the task, then I would be glad of your counsel. The city's affairs keep me endlessly occupied.

[ her offer will aid him as much as it does her, further one if not both of their goals. ]

I can imagine there is much to do, the city will take time to heal. [ she needn't hear the details, cities always suffer when battle reaches their doorstep. ] I will be happy to relieve you of this task.

Then I welcome you, Lady Morgana. There has been a fairy ring to aid in sending reinforcements to the castle, but can be of use to you as well. I would send my servant to guide you, but it has been tasked to other matters.

[Even now, he would take the time to glimpse on the actions of his Phantom. But that battle had not yet been joined.]

Worry not, I can find my way. And I can bring anything with me, if you require it.

I have all that I need already, save for what you bring with you.

Very well. I shall see you soon, my lord.

I will bid you safe travel. But first, I would ask news. What secrets do they now whisper in the halls of Caer Scima?

[ morgana smiles sharply and it transfers to her voice. ]

They whisper many things, both secrets and not. Better to tell you in person, instead of where loose ears can hear.

Most wise. I will look forward to your arrival, then. If there is anything you will need upon your arrival, I can see that it is taken care of.

A comfortable room will be greatly appreciated. [ and by comfortable, she clearly means "fit for royalty". ]

I would not deign to do anything less, my lady.
