[One month after her 'victory' against Ninetails, Moro is in much better shape. She isn't roaming close to the village lately, however - any snowfall is remarkably free of her giant pawprints. But for those that venture into the forest, the prints in the snow or dirt are almost always fresh - she has been roaming nearly nonstop since she recovered.

Today, one may find Moro comfortably perched near the lake, looking over the wildlife that came to the water. There's been no effort to hide herself, despite her smell of old, caked blood still a bit fresh from the shoulder wound that Ninetails had inflicted, and the numerous other scars. She was still a bit tender, after all, and those were vulnerable spots. But, as is her way, she's stubborn and confident to the end.

And honestly, for those who want to talk to her, she's looking very content and very peaceful. She'll probably be willing to have a civil conversation! (Gasp!)]

The fool attacked my daughter and cut the trees, doubting my strength!

[blessedbyfarore]

Oh... I guess that's pretty bad. [Well, he probably wouldn't kill someone for hurting trees - but anyone who knows of Moro know that she wouldm and attacking family is an absolute no-go for him.]

[...Something is clicking in his head.] ...Does she call herself a Dark Lord? And was gloating about someone called Amaterasu about a month ago?

[biteoffherhead]

The very same foolish fox. I nearly tore off one of those tails, and broke her legs with minimal effort.

[She is exaggerating a bit on the effort part, but the look on her face indicates that her report of the damage is true.]

[blessedbyfarore]

[Then at least there's someone stronger than the demon in Luceti. He's quite grateful you're here, Moro.] I talked to her. I know you can take care of her yourself - [Although not without injury - his gaze lingers to the wound.] - but if you ever need it, I can help you fight her. I don't want anyone else to get hurt here.

[biteoffherhead]

[She just... laughs. In a very... not... healthy laugh.]

[blessedbyfarore]

[...Okay, so it's kind of like a small variety of insect armed with a twig offering to help a giant fight another giant, but it's the thought that counts?]

[biteoffherhead]

Do you truly think you could participate in a battle at my side without getting crushed or devoured in the fray?

[blessedbyfarore]

...Probably not. [Moro is, after all, very big.] I just thought I'd offer just in case, though... Ganon was really big, too.

[He's quiet for a moment, and when he speaks again, his voice is dark.] I met another demon just a little while ago, too.

hurp durp you didn't see that

[biteoffherhead]

Tell me.

See what? 8D (Cute icon, by the way!)

[blessedbyfarore]

Yuber. [Yeah, it's interesting how much loathing Link can put in that name - almost as much as Ganondorf.] I fought him in August, when he was killing people. We stopped him - me and Sheik.

[Raising a hand to touch his new scar through his clothes, his expression darkens even more.] Then I saw him again a few weeks ago.

thank you :>

[biteoffherhead]

Ah, the demon Yuber... how my fangs have grazed his flesh so many times! The next will be the deathly blow.

[blessedbyfarore]

I hope so. [...That's unusual for Link.] He killed me - and that girl, Nu, killed Sheik, then attacked me when we were drafted.

[biteoffherhead]

It does not surprise me. He exceeds human strength.

[blessedbyfarore]

Yeah - and he can teleport. He doesn't fight fair.

[A sigh.] I beat him in August, but he was injured then. But a few weeks ago, I was also injured - and he ambushed us.

[biteoffherhead]

A cowardly tactic. But I will corner him, and swallow him whole!

[blessedbyfarore]

[Idly, Link wonders if anyone can be revived after that, then decides he doesn't really care.] Good. I hope you don't get a stomach ache, okay? I bet he tastes really bad.

[biteoffherhead]

I have tasted it - it is such bitter flesh. Even more foul than human flesh.

[blessedbyfarore]

Yuck. I bet it is.

[With a sigh, he scoops up another stone - this one only manages a single skip.] What should I do if he attacks me again?

[biteoffherhead]

Can you howl?

[Or use a horn, that would work too.]

I will not kill him for your sake, and if you die before I arrive, it will be no concern of mine. But I will gladly arrive if you sound an alarm.

[blessedbyfarore]

[Howl? Not even remotely. Link frowns a little.] I can't howl, [he admits, then pauses and pulls out the ocarina.] I could play a note on this - you have really good ears, right?

[Yuber will be in for a surprise if he attacks him again, then.]

[biteoffherhead]

The mountains will swallow that sound, but I will hear it in the forest.

[So don't hunt Yuber down and you should be pretty much safe, right? ...Sort of.]

[blessedbyfarore]

[Unless he gets ambushed again, sure. Safe as houses.]

Okay. I don't really go near the mountains much... [He went once, to meet Kipinn, but that's about it.]

[Ah, well. Have a faint smile, Moro.] Thanks.

[biteoffherhead]

I am not doing it for you, boy.

[blessedbyfarore]

I know. [That doesn't mean he can't appreciate it.]

[biteoffherhead]

Then do not presume sympathy from me, boy.
