003 / UNSEELIE + SEELIE / (MEMORY + VOICE)

[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.

[ Though hardly surprised, she is a little dissatisfied. This isn't something she can press someone about, urge them emotionally or physically. They have to want it themselves. A sigh lets and flutters the paper a moment, and the message dissolves before another appears in its place, as if being stroked across with a brush and ink from thin air. ]

of course

may i ask for your name?

[A swiftly made message is of interest, if only because it spoke of magic. But he wondered what would necessitate it. Was it slothfulness or utility?]

I am Ganondorf Dragmire, King of Hyrule.

hello your majesty it is nice to meet you

you reside in unseelie territory yes?

Indeed. To whom do you owe allegiance?

[ Owe is such a funny word to use. She feels as if she owes nothing to either court. He'll hear a whine, that's almost more groan, and certainly an animals, and then be presented with more calligraphy as answer. ]

the fairies led me here [ For the time being, and because it would be so much to write, she doesn't add that she has no interest in doing services for those who would rob away parts of herself. Then again, she isn't the best listener, and as a god and feral thing, she's more prone to doing as she likes. ]

i have been as far as the station and intend to venture and explore further perhaps we will cross paths?

[He recognizes the whine as being some manner of beast. A dog of some sort, likely. But he has not known such creatures to talk.]

If your journey brings you so far south as Castle Mair, then it remains a possibility. But you would be wise to announce your presence beforehand should you enter this city. The Shard you possess is of great value and it could be easily lost if you are thought to be a spy.

my i am no spy at all! but i suppose it would be like a spy to say that wouldn't it?

[ It's a joke! Still, who knows if that'll come across with ink. ]

what would be a good way to announce myself?

[And yet he doesn't laugh. He's humorless like that, at times.]

These lockets should serve that purpose.

[ You should laugh more, Ganon. Haven't you read it improves mood through the intake of oxygen? Gee, no wonder you're so grouchy.

A solitary rumble loosens from her. Discontent. It drains her power to do this, to use so much ink constantly. Not that it isn't easily reacquired, but... ]

yes that would make the most sense i'll heed your advice

[At this point, his lungs are probably a wreck, having been impaled and all...]

Why do you choose to speak in this manner? Do you not have a voice with which to speak?

Edited 2014-07-27 15:48 (UTC)

i do not

Then tell me, what manner of beast are you?

[ Her surprise doesn't last long. It's not as if she was particularly trying to hide it. ]

a wolf

For many, the wolf is thought to be a noble creature. [Less so for Ganondorf, as he had one particularly pesky opponent who transformed into a wolf.] Why disguise your form?

no more than any other creature i would think

disguising it was not my intention but the windows on the lockets are small and i cannot be sure how easily read my messages are shall i stand back some for you?

I should be glad to see your true form, if you will permit.

[ In the round glass, he'll find the parchment (now, emptied of ink stains and scribbles) retreating, white fur following. She does a trotting circle for him once she's decided she's at preferable distance, then perches. Though she isn't anywhere near the size that the Starks' direwolves are, she's quite long-legged, yet still slim figured—she looks female even for a bushy canine.

Just a white wolf, holding a piece of paper in its mouth. Or if his perception of the spiritual is high enough, then he's certain to see the glow about her, the markings, as if someone dipped a paintbrush in red and decorated her, and the feathers at her shoulders and ankles, the swirling of her tail with the ink on the tip. Those holy beads circling her neck of their own accord, refusing to drop to the earth or fly off though no string keeps them together.

She waits a minute, and then, again, writing appears on the paper and she tosses her head lightly as if to get his attention to read it. ]

how is this?

[Ganondorf himself is a god in his own right, standing stronger and greater than all divinities in his universe, all but the three goddesses themselves. So when he sees her, it is apparent to him she is more than some mere beast. It makes the enigma all the more interesting, for why should so great a being choose a form devoid of speech?]

You are most magnificent. Common wolves do injustice to your form.

you wouldn't happen to be trying to make my head any fatter than it is would you?

[ Teasing, again, whether it comes across or not. Her tail is certainly swiping across the grass happily enough. A proper thank-you for his compliment is probably in order, but perfect manners are a little lost on her, though she isn't insincere. ]

you do not have an allergy to fur do you your grace?

... no. I am not afflicted by such things.

[The question even catches him off guard. He can only wonder what exactly she'll be hoping for when they meet. A pat on the head?]

[ Let her salvage your soul, Ganon. Let her show you the light. Let her show you the world. Shining, shimmering, splendid. Tell her, Princess Ganon, now when did you last let your heart decide?

It's cool. Don't pet her. Be like that. ]

such things? do you mean to say you are neither afflicted by things such as the common cold or a stomach ache or a rash?

[It's not every day he has a goddess flirt with him. If he only knew...]

Indeed. It has been a great many years since such things held any power over me.

[Around the time that 'impaled through the stomach' stopped being fatal.]

what a very nice thing that must be some might call having such a sturdy and healthy ability a blessing

do you consider it so?

You might say it is a blessing from the very gods themselves.

[ Hmm. Her ears tip back. ]

sometimes cruelties can be blessings in disguise

[ It's true. Though she prefers a more direct approach. Why punish the people of earth when she can help their trees grow? ]
