What you sang wasn’t the Earthsong. It was something special that only you could’ve done. And even after an infinite infinities of universes beginning and ending and beginning again, I’ve never seen anything like it.
Why were you digging? What did you bury, before those hands pulled me from the earth?
It’s a secret to everybody.
My fingertips fly and dance so freely.
This was once the land where the power of the gods was said to slumber. This was once the kingdom of Hyrule. But that blessed kingdom has been transformed by the king that rules the twilight... It has been turned into a world of shadows, ruled by creatures who shun the light.
It’s like the stars hold close their own brightness, and have none of it to share with anyone else, because it’s not any easier to see by that starlight. It’s just dark.
Chiron always says our parents made camp as this safe magic space. The truth? It’s so they don’t have to see us. They won’t bother to show their face!
I would fly a million miles away just to have you there to hold my hand.
But then how pathetic are you, that you can’t best me at my worst!?
Teacher, what Al and I transmuted was not our mother. The child that you transmuted… was it really yours?
Your love is there, I breathe it in around me. Don’t know it’s there, but without it I’m drowning!
I will always want to be here with you.
I keep smiling all day because you’re smiling at me.
It may go cold again, but please defrost my heart.
Dogs of the Military. Looks like your nose is pretty sharp.
How strange to have a body. Sometimes it felt that way. Strange.
Such immaculate love, to try and bring your mother back to life! Such tremendous love, to be willing to give up your own life to transmute your brother’s soul! Such dreadful determination, to burn down the home that held so many memories for you, to cut off any retreat!
You say you’ll wait. Well, let me ask you this: what are you waiting for? I’m here already.
No, you deadbeat! I am telling you the opposite! Why do you think I keep showing up? You may not really need me, Zagreus, but I will take these opportunities to help. I take it that’s alright.
Time to tip the scales!
But now is the time of creation. Build to your heart’s content, young builder, while we await the Day of Awakening.
It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this.
It’s a wizard’s role to fly past the edges of reality, and yet the joy I feel when I’m with you staggers even the imagination of one who would call the wind and seas to their aid.
What qualifies a man to this eternity in so-called paradise? Even in death, there is no justice. I knew so many peaceful, decent men, but none of course are here. Instead, it is the warriors. The kings. The slayers. Great men? The standard for greatness is low, indeed.
The stars passed overhead last night. I’m sure the Earth was delighted.
A dead deer in the river, yellowed bone protruding from matted hide and rotten flesh. Death for one provides life for many.
If you are the Princess of Hyrule, Chosen of Nayru, beloved of Hylia, you go up Mount Lanayru on your seventeenth birthday. You walk into icy water, waist deep, and pray that something, anything will be different. Nothing is different.
O hero chosen by the goddesses… Beware… Those who do not know the danger of wielding power will, before long, be ruled by it.
So, the Lord of Destruction has befriended a builder…
It was an environment that I did not thrive in. And part of the reason that I feel that I did not thrive was because I allowed myself to be parted from you.
