Fourth Sin - [Action/Voice]

[It has been some time since Ganondorf has been in the village. After accepting a mission on the second, he merely took his leave the next day without communicating his absence to anyone. He made assurances his steed would be able to survive on his own and that was that. So after twelve long days of combat, he is finally back in the village late in the afternoon. Yet however powerful he might be, not even the Triforce would seem to stand up to the Shifters he encountered. Consequently he has returned to the village wounded, ragged, and just a bit on edge.

His injuries make his armor too uncomfortable and have made him concerned it has negatively impacted his speed. So today he goes to the Battle Dome wearing some loose, flowing black robes. Despite having received two Gerudo scimitars as his prize, he leaves all his weapons behind. He will manage to set himself up a simple scenario of a desert landscape, fighting shrouded warriors. Though not identifiable to anyone, he requested the computer model their abilities and combat abilities off some of his potential enemies within Luceti. More than that, he has disabled the ability to use powers. After being placed in this very scenario during his mission, he does not want to risk making himself so vulnerable. He needs to be able to fight without weapons, armor, or magic at his disposal. The way he was once excelled at in his training to become king. Despite all that, he is fighting with very clear injuries. Notably he walks with a painful limp. He lacks healing magic and has too much pride to request someone deal with it for him.

In the late evening, he will be walking with this same limp on his way to the plaza where he aims to request a hot meal from Seventh Heaven, which he intends to take home and eat in privacy. He is not looking for company or conversation, but he will act amicable if approached. As much as he can stand at least.

The next morning, on the 16th sees his very first snow fall, which he soon finds a distaste for. He deems this an appropriate time for a brief voice message to settle some business.]


Midna. I would have words with you. Let us find a place we can speak.

[That should do it. Unfortunately due to not knowing how to stop it recording, the journal will also catch him muttering to himself:] I grow weary of this accursed weather.

You are free to trust it or doubt it. It makes little difference for me. These injuries were taken as I fought the enemies of our own captors, in a war beyond our power to stop.

[Wynne has no reason to disbelieve him yet, and this was certainly a strange enough situation that the idea of it being another world had some merit.]

I see. So they'd use their captives to fight their own battles. Not an uncommon practice.

Those must have been painful injuries. [She says this with nothing but gentle sympathy.]

[He sneers at her sympathy. It's like she's talking to Sten or something.]

They are the price of mistakes and failures. They will continue to be so until they are fully healed.

[It's totally like talking to Sten. Does she need to knit you a sweater too?]

Such is the cause of all wounds, though it makes them no less painful to endure. Not all mistakes and failures are bad; to err is only human, after all. The only thing to do is to take to heart the lessons they hold.

[She may need to. Especially with this weather.]

Of this I am well aware. You need not educate me with simple lessons of wisdom.

My apologies then. It's a idea that seems to be quite easily forgotten by some.

The world is filled with fools. Whether it be this one, mine, or any other. Such is the way of things.

True. But one can always hope they learn.

But no matter, you mustn't want to waste time talking to me in this sort of weather. I thank you for humoring an old woman, nonetheless.

Indeed. [He shall, at least, impart one last thing. He points in the direction of the plaza.] You will find all you need know in the market. Look for the Welcome Center.

[How oddly helpful] I'll remember that, then; and I thank you for the information.

[He nods only before going about his way.]
