001 / Unseelie + Seelie / (Written)

We may have at last rooted out the last of those foul creatures. They proved troublesome, though the servants claim them to be little more than pests. To those who share the Unseelie court, you have acquitted yourselves in battle well. I'm certain our counterparts among the Seelie court have done the same.

I wish to find where these creatures nest and ensure they pose no further problems. Or nests, as the case may be. If anyone has information on where they originated, this task might be finished sooner.

My thanks,
Ganondorf Dragmire

What do you think you're going to do when you find them?

Edited (no that's not the icon i wanted :c) 2014-04-21 03:32 (UTC)

They are an infestation, so I will eradicate them.

All by yourself?

[ so, so dubiously. ]

I will, if no one else follows me.

[But it is not preferable. Not for fear of his own mortality, but simply in strategy. He'd only drive the nest elsewhere rather than wipe it out.]

Do you want anyone to follow you?

I'd welcome the assistance. Are you offering?

Maybe. If you can convince me this isn't a suicide mission.

I collected a large sum of treasure from the innards of the worms personally slain by me. Perhaps seeing it will convince you.

What are you going to buy here? Or are you going to try to bribe your way home?

The wealth is immaterial. It may prove useful, it may not. [He was raised to plunder and raid. So he took the gold anyway. Why not?] But my point is not to bribe or buy. Only that the amount of it serves as a testament to the number of beasts I slayed.

Why not just mount them over a fireplace?

I did not leave anything left to mount.

[Javik had little patience for written messages, so he just goes straight for the video option.]

That they are considered pests implies this will be a reoccurring issue. Your intentions are sound, but I do not know how to track them. Even if they were large enough for us to navigate, their tunnels have been sealed.

[He responds in kind, opting to allow video as well. He takes note of Javik and wonders if perhaps he is some sort of corrupted Zora.]

With the proper force, tunnels can be expanded. But it would be better to track their progression of attacks. I encountered them first outside the castle. Their attacks were coordinated on both Caer Scima and Caer Glaem. So we only need follow the progression of their appearances and find a common origin.

Coordinated? They were wild, opportunistic beasts. It is unlikely they will have one point of origin, and your quest for genocide will be a long effort.

Any point of origin will suffice.

[Ganondorf did not care for genocide or if the worms did later return. His ambitions were larger than pest control.]

Then you intend to hunt these worms indefinitely? A pointless waste of time.

[Because really, infestations never truly went away, no matter how hard they tried. His people had burned worlds to clear out the rachni, and they persisted over the centuries.]

Indefinitely, no. For now? Yes. What do you intend to spend your time on instead?

Spend your days as you wish, I am simply informing you that it will be an exercise in futility.

[He had no answer to that question, because it boiled down 'being angry' and 'trying to not get kicked off of horses'.]

I hope, in time, you shall be persuaded to see otherwise.

You will be left waiting. The inconveniences of this place will never be of importance to me.

Hello, Ganondorf Dragmire.

[He almost pronounced that right. Almost.]

From what I have seen and heard of those snakes, your idea seems a sensible one. The people and spirits here should not have to suffer the snake's attacks again, if there is something that can be done to end them permanently. I would worry that there could be a great many nests all across the land, though.

[Snakes worms something long and inclined to slither.]

[Close enough. Ganondorf smiles at the attempt and responds in kind.]

If such is the case, it may prove time consuming for only a few. But if even one is wiped out, then others may soon follow in turn.

One may even lead to others, if others do exist. There could be sign of movements between nests to track.

[He can't help but get a little caught up in the thought of hunting those monstrous animals.]

But how would you destroy a nest of them?

With fire. My magic might suffice to slay them, but it would be perhaps reckless to assume it sufficient to clean out a whole nest.

Fire. You will have to take care to burn only the snakes.

I do not wield my power blindly. When I set them to burn, it will be only them who burn.

The fire is part of your magic then? I confess I know little of powers and spells.

A part, yes. Elemental magic is among the more basic forms of sorcery.

And the elements are fire, water, air... land? It must be... something, to be able to use parts of the earth as you would weapons.

I was taught when I was but a boy. I know no other way of living. You might call it remarkable, but for me it simply is.

I understand. That is often the way of things. We think little of what we have grown up with, even when others find our lives a wonder.

[Not that knowing that diminishes any of his fascination for (or any of his distrust of) magic in general.]

I wish you luck with your hunt. Had I the time, I would offer my aid, but...

[But time is short and, without magic of his own, he recognizes he could very well be more hindrance than help.]

More the pity. Perhaps in the future we might make other arrangements of cooperation.

[With some reluctance, since it amounts to him having to acknowledge the idea that he might still be here later-]

Perhaps. [But it's only fair to introduce himself, since this Ganondorf has already given his name.] My name is Connor.

Well met, Connor. I shall remember you.

And I you, Ganondorf Dragmire.

[Especially after the bear and the soldiers and the fires. Especially then.

But sensing the conversation has come to an end, he closes the feed.]
