Voice Test | Canon is The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

[harpofhylia]

Reviewing isn't a bad thing, but...

Why did you take me away from the surface in the first place? I have to watch over the Triforce and since Link is staying with me, my disappearance will make him worry.

I don't understand your motivation, Mun.

Comments

[dragmire]

You'll find that your mun is motivated only by self-interest and petty desires.

[harpofhylia]

I would like to think better of her...even if she confuses me.

[dragmire]

Then you give her too much credit and your naive faith in her will only bring you disappointment in the end.

[harpofhylia]

Are you trying to make me feel bad? It won't work. I'm not making any conclusions until I have more information.

[dragmire]

I am not so petty that I feel the urge to antagonize you, regardless of who you may be, Lady Zelda. I merely tell you the inevitable truth, one that has been written tens of thousands of times already in this place.

[harpofhylia]

How long have you been here? [She isn't going to ask questions that don't matter here.] You make it sound like you've been stuck for some time.

[dragmire]

If you are asking how long it is I have been bonded with my own Mun, then it has been some six years since its inception. [It is far too clear he is not content with this relationship. Imprisonment does not suit him.]

[harpofhylia]

That's... [Long. Zelda pales and swallows, considering her own situation.] It must be difficult for you. [Though, honestly, it's probably better for the surface world.]

[dragmire]

It has taken me to many strange lands. Other times were spent waiting idly as I passed into memory only. But it is not wholly without benefits. [Indeed, he doesn't mind his new arrangements. Sure, he's a test subject now, but he does so only until the opportunity presents itself to seize the power of his captors.]

[harpofhylia]

What are those benefits? [She phrases the question cautiously, her eyes never leaving him. He is a dangerous presence.]

[dragmire]

Opportunity. A chance to expand my horizons. I spent far too long dwelling in one place, my thoughts focused there. I have been enlightened to an infinite number of possibilities.

[harpofhylia]

[Not good, not good. She closes her eyes sadly.] Other lands are in danger.

[dragmire]

[Ah. Observant, this one. He doesn't like that.]

All lands are in danger. The incompetence of my captors threatens to be the end of all worlds.

[harpofhylia]

[She can sense...things. Whispers if you will.]

Are they stronger than you?

[dragmire]

They are mere men who play at being gods. They command power over reality itself through the use of machines and science.

[Therein lies the opportunity. It would be so easy to take their precious toys away and use it for more ambitious purposes.]

[harpofhylia]

They can contain you - maybe even control you. [Which means that they are more powerful, yes? That's really unsettling.] All we can do is appeal to them.

[dragmire]

The time for appealing has long since past. But there is no 'we'. You are bound to this place. The perils I face are not yours.

[harpofhylia]

And you are not bound to this place? You can pass from land to land without the aid of your Mun?

[dragmire]

I am bound to Luceti. I come here, when my mun wills it. But I do not linger here longer than need be.

[harpofhylia]

Did your Mun want you to talk to me?

[dragmire]

[He frowns.] It would seem so.

[harpofhylia]

Why?

[dragmire]

I could only speculate. Perhaps a simple interest to see how we might interact, given our unique histories. Or perhaps it was a desire that you might be forced to endure the same prison as I. As I said before, the reasons are petty and selfish.

[harpofhylia]

Maybe they want one of us to change. [Not that she sees that as remotely possible.] We are very different.

[dragmire]

Different indeed. Our stories may intersect, but I shall suffer no change that you would find favorable.
