Third Sin - [Written/Action]

[gerudoking]

[What ensues is writing in a disguised hand and without the liberty of a picture to be seen. It is a simple set of questions designed to let Ganondorf get a sense of the people of Luceti. His conversations will likely be short and to the point, unless he should find himself intrigued.]

At what lengths would you go in order to obtain power? For what purpose would you seek to gain it?

[Satisfied with that, he leaves it at that. Later in the day, after responding to the questions, Ganondorf can be found leaving building six and traveling north on horseback, passing the plaza and proceeding until he reaches the mountains. Catch his attention if you like. He is in no rush to reach his destination, but he does not suffer fools lightly.]

Where do you get off stealing people's pets?

[action]

[dragmire]

Pets? [A pause.] You speak of the dragon, then. Is that what the boy told you? How easy it must be to spin lies when you lack the confidence and strength to claim that which is yours.

[action]

[so_shik]

Okay, if you don't want me believing what he told me, then you better start explaining it.

[action]

[dragmire]

You presume that I care what you think. [He snorts, then glances away at his horse. He gives it a pat along its side, willing it to carry on ahead a bit further.]

Let me tell you what I found. Several weeks ago, I traveled south of the village, along the river. There I found an incomplete beast, one incapable of flight and no longer able to survive naturally. Were it any other creature, I would have put it out of its misery and been right to do so. Any man or beast that cannot survive does not deserve to survive. Yet, it was a remarkable beast and I took pity on it. I knew that with my power, I might give it a second chance, though in doing so I would have to remake the creature anew. I did so. What it once knew and loved may have been lost, but I had returned to it the right and means to survive.

The boy, sentimental as he was, had a choice. I would return the beast to his original state or remain the way he was. The boy chose to let the creature be. That is the theft you speak of, girl.

Something's not adding up. It's still the fact that you fixed something that wasn't yours to fix. Do you just go around doing that to everybody you please?

[action]

[dragmire]

The beast was alone, unattended to. It appeared to have been so for some time. I cannot take the blame for the owner's negligence.

[action]

[so_shik]

It wasn't negligence! He was kidnapped, what do you expect him to do about that?

[action]

[dragmire]

I am not so omniscient as you think I am, girl. I acted only upon what I had seen.

[action]

[so_shik]

And...it didn't dawn on you that maybe the dragon was happy the way he was.

[action]

[dragmire]

You are intent to vilify me on behalf of your friend. Consider this first. I gave the dragon the chance that it could fly under its own power once more, just as it was created to, rather than scavenge on the ground for what scraps of meat it could find. I could never imagine a suffering beast to be happy.

[With that, he begins to walk away.]

[action]

[so_shik]

...learn to ask next time! [Jerk. But Shiki knows she can't do anything about it, unfortunately, so she just has to let it happen.]
