1st song ❦ [video]

-So is this how it works?

[On the screen is a small girl, looking about 13, dressed in green and far away from her home. Her eyes glance down a few times, reading the piece of paper in her lap and following its every instruction. Clearly the word technology is foreign to her, let alone the ability to use it.]

Good thing the letter is so thorough, I would've never learned to use this by myself. Of course, I could always be talking to myself instead. I really hope not.

[She lets out a small nervous laugh, but she really does mean it. Just knowing anyone else was out there.]

It's so quiet here, I can't hear anything. Not even the faintest calling from the spirits. Everything here is so cold and hard, so different from the forest. It's actually a little scary...but I guess it's the way things have to be.

[Her eyes saddened a little. This was all real, she could feel it deep down. But then there was always a harder truth to accept.]

What that letter said, about home being destroyed, I don't believe it's a lie. After all, everything passes in time. But for there to have been so little left...I failed in my duties. I'm so sorry everyone.

[As a Sage, she should've been able to see this destruction come. She should've been able to do something...]

If anyone can hear me, my name is Saria. I'm looking for my friends. There are the Sages like myself: Rauru, Darunia, Ruto, Impa, Nabooru, and Princess Zelda; the other Kokiri children....Link....If any of those sound familiar, please let me know.

You're not talking to yourshellf. Don't worry about that.

...and don't apologize for what happened. Whether it did or it didn't, whatever happened wasn't your fault. I blamed myself a whole lot for not being able to do anyfin when I first got here - I was the heiress to my planet's throne, the Witch of Life, but I was powerless to do anything. But you can't let that hold you back. All anyguppy can do is try to keep swimming forward.

My name is Feferi. It's good to meet you, Saria, though I reely wish the situation was betta. And - hm. I don't think I know them perchsonally, but I know I've heard the names Link and Zelda around the network. I'm shore you'll hear from them soon.

[So many fish puns...is she speaking to Ruto?]

[Saria listened to Feferi's story. She wasn't the only one who felt this way, the only one who lost something important.]

Thank you Feferi, for everything. I'm sorry you lost so much too, but you're right. The best I can do now is help however I can. [Because that's what she always does.]

[cullscuttlefish]

[You get used to them after a whale.]

There's no need to thank me. I'm just doing what I can to help out. In a plaice like this, it's reely the best thing anyone can do.

Has anyone given you the rundown on what the Tower is and what it's like?

[forestsage]

Only a little. I've heard that death is very different in this place.

[cullscuttlefish]

Okay. The first thing you need to know is that this place is very dangerous. Some floors have monsters that can kill you, and some people in this place can be just as dangerous. I think the most dangerous people here are the people that run it. I know of four: Ruana, Riki, Dax, and Jason.

[She goes pale and trembles a little at the last name.]

Jason is especially cruel. He...he likes hurting people. Performing surgeries - opening people up, removing their inner parts, altering their outer parts - while people are conscious. They can't feel the pain, most of the time, but you can still see and feel what's going on. It's...he's horrible.

[forestsage]

T-that's... [Her voice shook. She's heard of horrors, darkness that has unspeakable powers to reawake the dead and curse a sacred place with monsters.]

[But a person like that existing? Much less running this place?] That's awful. Why would anyone do something like that?
