Linkle sneaked pass several lizalfos, her thoughts on a Goron who's face she never met. Apparently he was alive, unless the Golden Compass didn't discriminate between dead and alive, but a subtle change in the needle told her that the Goron chief was moving, the lurch told her that the Goron was probably swinging his fist into a handful of lizalfos...or getting tossed around by them.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ItQiChQdb 維尼
She thought back to Ohirume and found that the light pointed at the same place. Linkle sighed and resumed her quest for the hammer, which led her to a strange door that was bent and warped in places. She cringed as a desperate Goron came to mind, beating the door and kicking it in an attempt to escape, though a larger bulge in the middle made her think of a Goron attacked on the other side of the door. She noticed how some parts of the door was burned, and in one place, about where an average sized Goron's head would reach, were three claw marks.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEtKbOhY7l 維尼
Did Volga swipe and leave those claw marks?8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1yxKICoJO 維尼
She let out a deep breath, wiped her arm against over her eyes. Linkle jumped as her back touched something, and kicked off the solidity behind her. In mid air she grabbed the bows on her boots and yelled. She fired at whatever she backed into, but let go of the triggers when a screech broke through the air, and ran into the shadows. She really didn't want to confront the lizalfos, they were deadly and alive and she wanted them to leave her. Linkle covered her mouth to stop the sharp inhalation that followed her surprise as a spark flew from one of them, about where the head was, and ignited a torch.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs8iAX2NG4 維尼
Another one bent forward and spat into the next torch. Linkle's fingers twitched over the triggers, motioning to squeeze but never touching the smooth surface of either gun's handle or trigger. She instantly relaxed when the monsters stopped approaching.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjYmW1KNRs 維尼
The lights went out and two screeches shattered the silence, answered by her own cries and the firing of her crossbows.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡutEpsGg5Lb 維尼
Linkle stepped out of the darkness and back into the network of caves, blood pounding against her ears as she lumbered along the wall. The door's path was blocked just behind the wall. She took a deep breath as her mind continued to reel from the sudden attack, fingers twitching. She resisted the urge to settle them on the trigger, the last thing she needed was to shoot by accident, waste arrows, and possibly alert the lizalfos to her presence, and came to a stop in front of a statue like the Guardian Stone outside Kakariko Village.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtrUaoCZ5f 維尼
"...it's said the Hero could receive counseling from the fairies within them."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl51limUWg 維尼
"I'm past caring if I'm the Hero or not, just help me...so I can help the Hero!" Linkle glared at the silent stone, "What about this?"8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86HFnzTp4g 維尼
Linkle showed the compass to the silent statue and unspoken words reached her ears, "The way forward was blocked by Gorons to keep the dragons from finding Drake's Bane, a solid impact should clear the path forward, it lies somewhere on this side of the bent steel door I saw before the wall behind me was built up."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu1iBQXpIC 維尼
Linkle stepped back, startled by the voiceless words that she heard. She turned around in case a Lizalfos was behind her, and saw Ohirume fall from a ledge and roll, only to go from rolling to walking, a bag in both hands. She took a moment to admire the fluid movements of the Sheikah warrior.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP8jg0yvrD 維尼
"I sensed an interaction, here, I didn't know there were Sheikah Stones here...I suppose their light has gone out, so now I'm unable to see them at all." Ohirume remarked.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡburwFi7Ghg 維尼
"Um, so, the hammer's hidden, and I need a strong impact because there's a wall somewhere between a door, I don't really need to go through the door, since the hall it led to opened up from a hole in the wall, I need to clear it to reach the hammer." Linkle reported.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5IWGqFWEL 維尼
"Take these bombs, they should be strong enough. A trick to find places like you described is to knock on the wall, there are many accounts of Gorons blocking holes with rocks, a few big rocks, usually so you should find them by listening for inconsistencies in the hollowness of the rocks, that way you don't end up blasting the hardy walls."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E0f5ujELZ 維尼
"I can cause a lot of distractions with these."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH42DgJisx 維尼
"That's true, you'll also find a few growing in places around here, so keep an eye out for those."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡk61YbJtT6p 維尼
With that, the Sheikah vanished in a blast of light, though she felt like she'd been stunned.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Nkq2S7MGC 維尼
Tsuki followed Linkle's footsteps, following her as the line between reality and the glimpse to the past overlapped. Using Sheikah Stones always made one feel strange, even as Tsuki walked her path, that strange feeling of anxiety she felt only grew stronger. It would wear off soon, then the journey to Death Mountain would be less blurry, for now relying on Sheikah training would aid the warrior.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K2XPMBfjp 維尼
Tsuki stopped suddenly as a sound reached the covered ears that struggled to tell reality from history's reality. After a moment's consideration, the spear hanging on the warrior's belt ring found two trained hands holding it at the ready. Quiet breathing and practiced steps kept the Sheikah from detection as two lizalfos wandered aimlessly, "Laying in ambush?" Tsuki speculated.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaJdNISfUx 維尼
A loud roar startled the monsters as Tsuki stabbed one, the spun, the blade at the end of the spear's haft cut both of them, and three quick strikes saw the first lizalfos stumble, a back flip in case of a fire attack, and several strong jabs finished off the second, "Why have they left their lair, the Gorons can't have fallen, they know Linkle's present...I hope that's all it is."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi52HlDAp9 維尼
Just as one of the entrances to the Dragon Mines was within sight, the volcano's unrest grew more violent, before the volcanic bombs were ejected just on the summit, above the Goron's city, but now the volcano had became more active...if things got anymore aggressive, the volcano would erupt, something that never happened before so long as order remained on Death Mountain, and order had always been on Death Mountain, so no one had an idea of the destruction that would be caused by an eruption, but it was safe to say that the forest and city would be effected.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SSUzOBaI1 維尼
Tsuki's mind flashed back to the Sheikah in training, and girl in green that the Sheikah Stone revealed to be in Death Mountain. Fate, for better or worse, brought these elements together, it would be a large undertaking, but if they had the time, this wouldn't be the end.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR6gSCiEaG 維尼
Linebeck turned around as he passed maybe the fifth port since leaving Castle Town's docks, and saw no sign of Jolene's ship, which was a great relief to him, "Crazy girl should just stop following me...well, there goes my cover! I wonder how she found me? My business is small and I rarely leave port!"8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35Y1vp0jdy 維尼
Linebeck growled as nothing came to mind, and turned his eyes to the sea ahead of him. His destination was close, now, and soon a flat piece of land broke the continuous blue, he knew that was Bannan Island. His best informant was here, a man who could learn any secret in any tavern anywhere in safe waters.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtt70CMSLF 維尼
Linebeck turned his gaze to the sky and smiled at it's orange tone, night would be falling soon, perhaps his informant would have dinner done soon? The man was a great cook, but when "cook" was solely practiced on the bounty of the seas, a certain level expertise was expected, perhaps, on occasion, implied.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8Yvi3IiYV 維尼
Linebeck eagerly jumped out of his ship after lowering the anchor, and smelled the seasoning that the Wayfarer used in his dishes whenever they got boring, considering he'd been here for ten or so years, monotony was implied and expected, "Hey, old man!" Linebeck called out, letting himself inside, "Door's unlocked!"8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZLR2MUXo6 維尼
Linebeck's eyes scanned the cabana, but all he saw a was a basin of water in a broken floor, the Wayfarer's favored chair close to it, but not enough to soak his feet in it. Linebeck turned around when he heard a splash and a laugh. He wheeled around, shouting for the Wayfarer again, when he saw that the girl in the water was not Jolene, too happy.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jdJhhKUqM 維尼
"Hey, old man, you know you can't just keep people in the water, right? She's not a fish." Linebeck sighed as heavy footsteps approached.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡP04SUResHb 維尼
"Sorry, Linebeck, I didn't hear you, I was skinning supper." Linebeck chuckled at his friend's excuse, and winced as the older man whistled, gesturing at the basin's resident, "That's my mermaid, beautiful, huh?"8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡkacwYIthrX 維尼
"Um, yeah, no, sorry, looks too much like Jolene, speaking of which, what is Joanna doing in your house?" Linebeck crossed his arms and narrowed his gaze, "You haven't been tattling on me to the crazy pirate, have you?"8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡ631f0C9xOj 維尼
"Nope, but she did say Jolene was off to see about the monsters in Castle Town." the Wayfarer replied.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKtNhzrU7T 維尼
"Hey, Linebeck!" Joanna waved at him with her fingers and rested her chin in her hands as she watched the pair, "When's dinner, Wayfarer?"8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWR8hDiRCp 維尼
"In a bit, Lady Mermaid." the Wayfarer bowed, "Would you like another drink?"8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTM3hDP0oX 維尼
"Yes, please! Mango this time!" Joanna turned to Linebeck as the Wayfarer left them, "You're friends with him too?"8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWF9PPNOzt 維尼
"I don't get it, he never makes me a mango drink, and I made him the cyclic blade thing, along with a Hyoi juicer, but you're the one living it up!" Linebeck gestured at her and she frowned, "What's your secret?"8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxi6rmfpac 維尼
"He likes mermaids and thinks I'm one...I tried to correct him, but he ended up busting a hole in the floor and tunneling to the sea, just so I could have a place to come in from the hot sun, isn't that sweet?"8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2I3SVFuj5 維尼
"Yeah, must be sweet." Linebeck grumbled, referring to her life here and not the Wayfarer, though she seemed to not hear the sarcasm in his voice.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡir5uttdWmQ 維尼
"Here you go, Linebeck." Linebeck turned and found a mango drink in a fancy glass waiting for him. He accepted it and took a drink, watching as the Wayfarer reverently offered Joanna her drink. The Wayfarer jumped up as Linebeck started coughing and frowned at the faces he was making, "That's why I never make drinks for you!"8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡBILdKajfd3 維尼
"Sorry, but, ugh, there's...hair or something in mine!" Linebeck wiped his finger over his tongue to show the strings to his host.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVYIokvipi 維尼
"Plant fibers, just drink through your teeth or learn to appreciate the unrefined texture they impart." the Wayfarer stood behind Linebeck and held his hands out, framing Joanna with his fingers, "See that? She's enjoying it like it's ambrosia!"8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMMS6vIJCM 維尼
"Well, I may not have her...unrefined tastes...but you say 'impart' like it's a good thing." Linebeck chuckled as he caught wind of the fish the Wayfarer was cooking, "I don't mind a little dinner with my company, if you don't mind a little company with your dinner."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoGfpozZTU 維尼
"You know you're welcome to steal a seat here, but I have some permanent company, so you'll have to change your...invitation now."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw0mY6IpuC 維尼
"Ha, ha, more company, then!" Linebeck laughed, though he turned a wary eye to the resident mermaid.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUQpW7KvcO 維尼
Aryll must have been six or seven when Linkle disappeared. She opened the door to follow Malron, who had closed it behind her, out to find Linkle as usual.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aJ0LGk1u7 維尼
Aryll didn't know why she didn't stay back, Malron was an experienced hunter, she kept Skulltulas away from the village with her father all the time, eventually replacing him when he could no longer outrun a Skulltula.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93wgoTmPrP 維尼
As Aryll opened the door, she instinctively pulled herself back from the ground, and found there was no ground. She turned and saw no house, only a door. Aryll found herself staring down the rolling ocean below and fell through some trees, where she saw a ship that had been smashed into the cove below the village. It was stormy and she barely heard the shouts from below. She went to investigate and found sailors stranded some distance from the shore.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡps9ETIZXpq 維尼
She tossed a rope at the edge, but the wind blew it back, so she tossed a black anchor down, and tried to pull it back as it fell toward the captain. She pulled and pulled, then tossed herself over. She was older, now, and with feet pressed against the tree, she could finally keep the anchor that fell from the sky from crashing on the captain, who now wore a long, green riding hood. The wind pulled it back and Linkle's eyes met hers, "What?" Aryll asked herself.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡVadQYlLcrj 維尼
"I said," Linkle shouted, despite not having said anything, "that you can't keep me safe! You're not my mom, Aryll!"8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86fOs7wiXA 維尼
"Linkle...but-" Aryll felt tears spring to her eyes, and then she realized she was falling. Her mouth fell open as an anchor, perhaps the same anchor from before, sat on a green cloak, pressing it into the sand, the wind rustling the leaves moved the tail of the cloak mockingly as she thought of the girl buried under it. 8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUC2Ykx2nA 維尼
Aryll jumped up at the sound of thunder and took a deep breath, collected her thoughts, and remembered that Linebeck and her had just been discussing Linkle the other day, so she was fine, it was just a couple of days since Linkle ran away for, what, the billionth time by now?8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡC31ga9zrGH 維尼
She ran up to the deck to see what all the scurrying was about, and saw for herself the tall waves and the whirlpool between them and an island she couldn't determine. The former captain stepped up next to her, his gaze fixed on it, "I believe we've got our culprit for this nasty squall, that Octorok is messing up the weather of Zora's Domain, it looks like it's blocking the cove, there's no way we're investigating the Kargaroc's on the Isle of Death now, unless you think we can handle that beast."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaICy45RSg 維尼
"Someone has to take it down, may as well be us! After making repairs we can sail through." Aryll turned to the helmsman and nodded.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN84wkesWZ 維尼
"The winds are too strong!" someone cried out from the mast.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡakmYw15yWB 維尼
"Fine, then take us around the island and surrounding archipelago!" Aryll ordered, "Come on, men, we're taking the long way around and strike from behind!"8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRsoPqMSt8 維尼
"That would take days as it is, the fighting might take hours!" Aryll turned to find the voice and nodded at the awkward looking fellow.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhXsMbSEHa 維尼
"We're the only ones who can fight it at the moment, it could be days for us, but weeks for word to get around—I can only feel compelled to take this monster down a notch!" Aryll tossed her arms in the air, "Are we going to just pass it? No, we'll sink it! To your places, men! If the crew of the Aloft can't handle it, no one can!"8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuSxn1eCmo 維尼
The sailors nodded and ran to their preassigned positions, even the most wavered were emboldened.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1OcuxvczY 維尼
"Rousing speech, kiddo, I feel twenty years younger." the retired captain chuckled, leaning against the wall of the cabin, "Twenty years ago, I was delivering speeches like that!"8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnyBhxuTkU 維尼
"Makes me wonder why you stopped." Aryll crossed her arms like him and leaned against another mast, doing her best to imitate his pose, down to the angle of her right foot as it braced forward, her way of saying she learned everything from him.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFv18hfQFs 維尼
"Oh, you know why I stopped," he grinned casually, "my voice doesn't quite carry like it used to, and my men here—oops, your men—are used to loud, thunder rivaling bellows!"8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRwcNDHnq0 維尼
They shared a solemn silence as they remembered why he really left, but he made a point to look forward to the future, so she would, too, and joke around with him only half as much as he would.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUptF8kFCW 維尼
She remembered crawling into a break in the hull of the ship and lowering the anchor upon which the helmsman had himself secured. She lowered and raised the anchor on Alfonzo's word, and was made an honorary member of the crew, and was taught many knots.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7xGXFE3IB 維尼
That day the unlikely teacher and student learned something.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jdj06VQ8a 維尼
Captain Rustle learned of a girl named Aryll, mechanical prodigy, her talents at the helm not discovered until he and Talron inspected the damage to the ship. Talron brought his daughter and Linkle, who drew the attention of Aryll.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyHsKCm4OU 維尼
Aryll learned of Captain Rustle, who tossed one of his crew to the others, lost his balance, and fell in, and the risks he thought were worth taking, which inspired her to learn from him and his crew of colorful men and women, she even learned how to cook fish, which was—unsurprisingly—the main food prepared in the ship by the crew.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmm9jXYvKA 維尼
Rustle resigned and named her captain as she imagined the ship was whole and she was the captain, and taught her using smaller ships as soon the Destroyer underwent repairs and changes that Linebeck—the dry dock's overseer in that time—guaranteed made it better than new, Aryll named the reborn ship Aloft, after the time Alfonzo pulled the captain out of the water with her help.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmEm36aaMa 維尼
Malron made swift cuts as she cried out, charged at the automatons with her twin knives, then jumped back, a club came down where she was, and she jumped onto it, sheathed her blades in a dual blade scabbard, then climbed up the arm.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QJaOcEcyJ 維尼
The arm she was darkened, and she forced herself to let go before she was whacked by the golem's left hand. She drew her left hand blade and held it underhanded to slow her fall, caught the wrist of the titan with her free hand, sheathed her blade, and waited for the next move, which turned out to be raising it's arm.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg0YKdX1kv 維尼
Malron held her left hand palm up and prepared to kick up, swipe her right hand to join the left on the wrist, and moved her hands clockwise, braced her feet against the wrist, turned to see what was behind her, and kicked off the wrist, and drew her blades as she back flipped.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxGinN1xYV 維尼
She landed on the head and flipped back again, bent her knees and struck both blades down as hard as she could, and slid down the giant's neck, and walked along the neck, then fell with her arms up and blades drawn. She watched the stone surface pass her until the red mark on the chest came into view. She lowered her arms and bent her elbows, took a breath, and struck into the red mark. It tried to shake her off again, but she pulled her right blade out and stabbed again, then again, until the golem stopped.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72DR9IuSWW 維尼
She took a breath, only to loss that breath once the titan started collapsing. She dug her blades out and let herself free fall for a while before kicking off and turning in the air. She sheathed her blades and got ready to land, which she did, and ran until she didn't hear anything falling behind her.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTgUHaVakq 維尼
She turned around and crossed her arms at the rubble, and turned to find more rubble behind her, some from smaller foes, but there had been at least one giant for each weapon so far. She felt like that was enough practice. So far she tried out the spear, naginata, and dual blades, after the first8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡTty0vOt1zP 維尼
Suddenly her cube glowed blue and she held it up, "Eh, what's up with this?"8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnAs1wOR2A 維尼
"Ronran, have you met the mailman?" Tsuki inquired.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyTqsikL21 維尼
"Yes, the package is due the day after tomorrow, I'm going to finally cook without having to go to the surface...keeping this from my dad is rough...I feel bad going up just to eat." Malron sighed, "I get the urge to stay and help with the dishes or something."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡinJXREBryl 維尼
"You 're here for a bigger reason, you know that, right?" the inquisitive voice huffed, "Guilt will only distract you...if anything, think of what will happen if you plan for the short term tasks."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeJDyaOBvj 維尼
"Of course, but...it just feels strange. I guess my stable routine falling apart makes it all so strange, though."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUnYaFczs6 維尼
"You did it for Hyrule. How's your training?"8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8cwArE7MY 維尼
"Ah, back to business, huh?" she laughed, "I've trained with the spear, naginata, and dual blades, I like the focus of the spear and the range and heft of the naginata, the dual blades are light and let me strike quickly, I found some bracers for my forearms, and the dual blade scabbards are...I never thought something like that existed."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEhqal6b0A 維尼
"It helps that the angles are opposite entrances slant, keeping the blades from touching to maintain sharpness. Take a new weapon, and go out to try it on some monsters in the plains between Death Mountain and the Kakariko road to Castle Town, there's ten Tektites out there that you can practice on."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2Sf6R9hCz 維尼
"Got it, consider them dealt with!" Malron remarked.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4IcHMjTzr 維尼
"Be careful...I may have been spotted by some guards, and it's dark out, so you can fight tomorrow after we determine the area's secured, I doubt Ganondorf would send anyone out a great distance until reinforcements arrive to secure his authority and tighten security to keep anyone from getting past, the larger the range the guards take up, the longer information takes to travel, the more blind spots there are."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡVisoTJLF0Z 維尼
"Then he probably has them staggered out and arranged signals, sent them to blind spots and set them on high grounds to maximize the area they can cover visually."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwFmzlFFy0 維尼
"Quite right, so wait until you can see, which means daybreak, but just barely, the rising sun will cast shadows and make you hard to see for a small window, then go see what the situation is, don't speak, just keep your cube on you, I'll be able to see what you see, since mine is a King's Cube, so you won't have to risk being heard or your cube giving you away with it's blue shine. If I can, I'll walk you through it, once you determine the area is secured, go handle the monsters."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8DfdfTz2e 維尼
"Wait, when can we expect Ganondorf's reinforcements to arrive?"8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkJran2Mpk 維尼
"A few days, maybe after the stove's delivered."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhUTbV621E 維尼
"They're coming by sea or land?"8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWIrqE7IqX 維尼
"I don't know as of yet, I'm coordinating with an...unknown agent...they're Sheikah, that much is certain, but we haven't met. This is typical, Sheikah on duty hardly meet."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQUGNeGexU 維尼
"Can that Sheikah use a magic cube to hear us?"8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCd3j9e2UP 維尼
"That's unlikely for many reasons, I'll explain now: Whisper Cubes all require synchronizing, that is done by simultaneously squeezing all desired Whisper Cubes for five seconds and letting go at the same time, which is why you only squeeze for one second to activate it, only enough time to check the time, no accidental synchronizing is likely. We do this to cut down any chatter, no use having hundreds follow the same general if they're not coordinating, so generals have two Whisper Cubes, one to talk with the king or queen, one to talk to his troops, but Sheikah generally fight solo or with little groups, so many times we only have four linked at a time. We strive to exercise stealth and efficiency, and smaller groups give everyone a learning, team building experience."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGiTrkHkoX 維尼
"I see...how do you know it's a Sheikah?"8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoGDXa1qrj 維尼
"Because, 'Our one eyed gaze can see the truth', not too straightforward, but the truth, in practice, means the hidden things you can't see, 'one eye' may have meant 'focus', which can allude to skills of observation, insight, or the magic used that narrows vision for the duration of the spell, which allows us to see the invisible, that is the power I use to see what another Sheikah has written." Tsuki explained.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7YF9dsLkJ 維尼
"When can I learn the spell?" Malron inquired.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡloeSIRvl4p 維尼
"Another thing Sheikah say, 'Patience is half the stealth', which is quite straightforward."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Se7lJaWbq 維尼
"Bah, fine, I'll wait until you teach me." she heard a chuckle on the other end.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡENdnYS07x2 維尼
"I doubt I'll be back before you learn the spell, but you have good insight, it'll take you far enough until you learn it." Tsuki paused a moment, "That makes you an official Sheikah in training, a Master becomes from skill and will power, the more driven you are, the sooner you will become."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5t4OK870L 維尼
"This is all very mystical, but can you tell me more?"8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQFC0M8jLJ 維尼
"Only that it takes some a few years...others decades, there are a rare few who draw the power to themselves, they rise to the top and do great things, eventually becoming a Master Sheikah."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡneCfpNEtg3 維尼
"Well, use Whisper Cube when I need to wake up, I'm going to rest a while. Goodnight, Tsuki."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡStwmRtICn9 維尼
"Rest well, fight smart."8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTvQU8GrfE 維尼
Malron had a lot of questions about what Tsuki meant, she felt like he knew she would learn the spell herself. She focused on keeping her mind blank and soon fell asleep.8964 copyright protection372ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0YSUNHmaG 維尼
