04 / UNSEELIE / (VOICE)

[Ganondorf is not usually a man to speak at length or to make messages on the lockets. But in light of recent developments and his aims to begin working against a tedious rival, it is time to begin gathering forces to him. He's built himself a sizable army already. Now he needs shardholders to stand with him. He has come to understand that each one of them might potentially be as valuable as a hundred native soldiers.]

With the passing of my sixth month, a fourth collection of Shardholders has been drawn into this world. The war carries on, though fate would seem to favor the side of our monarchs. [Absent as they might be...]

I am Ganondorf Dragmire. In my own land, I was the King of the Gerudo and of Hyrule. Until I return there, I am presently the Lord of Mair. My keep and city was won by conquest and much work has been done to rebuild and improve upon it. There are those among our court who helped to win and those who have labored to restore it. I have arranged quarters be provided for each one of you. You will always find Mair a safe haven as repayment for your efforts.

To those other Unseelie sharded, I extend my welcome to come visit the city. You need not travel the long road here. The High Queen has provided a Fairy Ring to the outside of the city. The land here is rich and bountiful so much that the people idle their time away in gambling houses and taverns. No doubt most will find some manner of entertainment within the city. [Says a man who clearly doesn't go out of his way for entertainment.]

Furthermore to those who wish to press the battle and see this war ended, then I welcome you to fight beneath my banner. Those who serve me will not go unrewarded. We stand on the cusp of victory. Already we have claimed powerful allies from Redgate and Maupertius. [Though he is eager to be rid of the latter...] We may have lost one battle at Cothromach, but we have slain their dragon and given our Seelie counterparts pause to reconsider their allegiance. Once the Seelie monarchs have been taken from their throne, we will at long last be able to return to our rightful homes.

Having familiarized myself with enough stories of legend, those who are unnecessarily brash often are overwhelmed when others come together. Not that I'm suggesting anyone will be stupid enough to try to take you on, but there may be those who wish to build their own empire here.

[ Spoilers: no one will ever suspect this king. ]

Six months and you already have land to call your own. This place is remarkable... or severely underpopulated.

[ He may know what he's doing, but she can't help being a know it all. It's in the magi code or something. ]

So I, a simple chemistry student, would be seen as a saint just for carrying a bucket of water for an old lady? I'm not terribly sure what I could do with that power, but to hear that it isn't so hard to earn the respect of this world is interesting indeed.

[ Now she's questioning just how many people actually acknowledge this guy as a lord. ]

Oh, wouldn't that be something? I could become the leader of my own cult just for carrying water to and forth.

[ Laughing lightly along with him. ] I wouldn't be a very good leader.

Bodyguards! It appears as if everyone is serious about these shards, huh?

You mentioned advantages and why, just the other day I was told I could learn to do magic of my own here. Is it because of the shards we're able to do this?

Really? [ He didn't strike her the type to be a magus, but maybe magic has a different meaning in his world. ]

You can create fire in thin air and all that neat stuff?

[ It's almost as if Ganon is her ideal man. Does he cook and clean too? Please don't entertain this thought. ]

Incredible!

If you can do that so easily, I wonder what kind of power the shard bestowed upon you.

[ Somewhere in the Drabwurld, a knight in red senses a rival. ]

You don't know? It appears you have the resources at your hand to find the answer out relatively quick.

[ Buuuut he's a man who prides himself on being a hero and naturally those types don't tend to do so well with the bad guys, yes? ]

You haven't employed any scholars--or are they all on the opposing side? It'd be a shame if the Seelie court was full of masterminds who could be of aid and you've slaughtered them all without knowing.

[ Triangles are for squares, silly Ganondorf. ]

It appears you have everything in order then.

Your next battle--have you made plans for it? Not that I'm a spy, but I wouldn't exactly want to be near the field of battle.

Then I look forward to hearing of your victory. Just keep my advice in mind and be sure to not take out anyone you could use to further your own resources. When given a choice between a life of loyalty to a lord or death, you'll discover most will chose the former.

[ Seelie court, you jerks can thank her later. ]

[ When one's life is reading of myths and history as well as studying magic... well, there's a lot of experience to be found in those pages. Even the parts that are amplified for emphasis still make for a good lesson. ]

There's no need for any of that. [ Clever and modest? Don't be fooled. ]

I just would like to get to know my potential allies better. The ones who protect and the ones who will govern over us.

You lie poorly.


[Bless anonymous text.]

[ Say that to her face!!

... but the message is taken seriously enough. She'll be cutting her communication with this guy short soon.
