dragmire | First Sin - [Action/Written]

[Today walking the streets of Luceti is an unusual man that no doubt stands out. Not only due to his odd grayish-green skin, but also his staggering height, exceeding a full seven foot with fiery hair and unusual olive green skin. He's been present in Luceti for several days now, keeping quiet, but today he sets out into the town for a few items. The first is to check the smithy for his armor. Once he finds it, however, he'll need to see about getting it finally repaired. It's likely he'll have all the time he needs for that. Secondly, he is looking for the boy, Link. The time has come to speak with him and to see which of the two whelps it is. He can be found anywhere around the central plaza, in the smithy, or wandering the aisles of the grocery store, with a sort of amazement and disgust for how much food is left out. Such excess... such waste.

Later he deems it appropriate to leave a short message on the journals. Make his presence known. Though not before he takes the precaution of copying the villain list. This place truly was filled with fools to make something so easily accessible. The names of these people could one day be useful to him. Especially if he could manage to avoid being added to those names.]

Since it seems customary to announce one's presence on these journals upon arriving, I shall do so now. I am Ganondorf. I have read the guide and heard of the situation in this place. I wish to be enlightened as to information about our so-called enemies, the 'Third Party'. Thank you.

Signed,
Ganondorf

No doubt you think I intend to raze this land, take over, and subjugate its people. Though it might be possible with my power, I have no desire to do so. This land is not Hyrule and I could never be content to rule so small a place, where mere 'scientists' play gods over our fate.

[He gives that time to sink in. He turns towards the water, folding his hands behind him.]

I request to be left alone. I will bide my time in this mockery of a world for as long as need be. I do not wish to be antagonized by having you or your allies reveal our history together. [Ganondorf may feel himself justified in his actions, but he knows that few would see things his way. Especially with no one to back him up.]

Your time, as well as the traitor Nabooru's, has long since passed for me so as to be little more than ancient history for me. I have no desire to revive it.

[Link's first inclination is to refuse flat-out. No, he's evil, it must be a trick to get him to relax his guard, even if he didn't do the things he remembers, he still murdered the Great Deku Tree...]

[But he doesn't want to turn this into a battle. He won't win every clash, and he's sure that Ganondorf wants to avoid an endless cycle of death, return, and penalty over and over. And perhaps... perhaps, this way, the ones he cares about could be safe.]

[Could he really just... leave him be?]

...Fine. Okay. [Oh. Looks like he can.] So long as you don't hurt anyone here, then I'll leave you alone.

[Of course, conversely, if he does hurt anyone in Luceti, then all bets are off.]

[The Great Deku Tree brought about his own demise, with his stubbornness and relying on a mere boy to cure him. Had he only agreed to Ganondorf's terms, he'd be still alive.

But this is excellent. He had hoped Link would be bright enough to go through with it. This will give him the time he needs to make his next move and plan his strategy. Maybe he will break this truce. Maybe he won't. But this gives him the benefit of time. Something this boy has clearly had in abundance, in adapting to this place.]

Good. We are agreed, then.

We are. [And Link still can't quite believe that they are. Oh, he'll still warn those closest to him, of course - but he'll also deliver the warning that Ganondorf is to be left alone.]

[Unless he breaks his promise, of course.]

Do you need me for anything else?

That will be all. I warn you though, do not cross me, boy.

[He lets that warning linger. There is no need to expand or explain it's meaning. And with it, he turns his back to Link and begins to continue on down the path, leaving Link to return the way he came. Or teleport away. It is of little concern to him. ~~Fortunately for Link he's not omniscient here.~~]

[Link bites back the instinctive response there - 'Only if you don't cross me' - and simply nods.]

Fine.

[And he, too, turns and heads back to the plaza. He has some planning to do...]
