Of Princess and Portents

Of Princess and Portents is the twenty-seventh Hyrule Historia mission and first of Return of Sulkaris.

Intro
In Princess Tetralyna Zelda V's dreamscape. Hylia drags a spirit from the Sacred Realm. Hylia ignores Zelda and attempts to trap the screaming spirit inside a sword. '''Hylia and the Sages continue to shrink the spirit until she can fit inside the sword. Princess Zelda V wakes up.''' POV switches to Agitha, who walks past Zelda into the library, where Akazoo is standing in front of a mirror. '''Azrily removes the dagger, seemingly unharmed. POV switches to the Gohma approaching the town, then to Impa with the garrison.''' POV switches to Agitha and a Shroud Walker, then to Princess Zelda V and her mother in the dining room. '''Princess Zelda V thinks of Sulkaris and the Gohma eye. POV switches to Agitha and Mido.'''
 * Rauru: We should not do this again, you saw what happened to the last Spirit we captured!
 * Hylia: We will not make the same mistake.
 * Impa: There is no guarantee it will stay bound to the weapon.
 * Hylia: Then we will bind it by force. (looks at the other Sages, who all nod)
 * Princess Zelda: What are you doing to her?
 * Princess Zelda: Stop it!
 * Midna: In the decade following the Gerudo Wars the fifth Princess to bear the name Zelda was born.
 * Midna: From a young age this Princess was troubled by powerful dreams that would cause her to burn.
 * Midna: None ever saw the flames that came forth, and many dismissed her distress as an active imagination.
 * Midna: They should have taken heed of her nightmares, for the fifth Princess Zelda was blessed with the gift of prophecy...
 * Agitha: I speak on behalf of the Gohma.
 * Lord Akazoo (turns to Agitha): I summoned you to inform the Gohma that the time to move is now.
 * Agitha: Explain.
 * Lord Akazoo: I have set the nests up around this city.
 * Lord Akazoo: There are enough people here to supply a hive for several months.
 * Lord Akazoo: It's the perfect place to establish a base and strike the Kokiri Forest.
 * Agitha: You took me in and raised me after my parents died in the war.
 * Agitha: I trust you Akazoo, but the Gohma do not.
 * Agitha: They believe any non-Gohma aid is a deception.
 * Lord Akazoo: Do I look like a man who could deceive an army of one-eyed spiders?
 * Agitha: Ultimately the Gohma will spare none, not even those that aid them.
 * Agitha: What do you get out of this, other than delaying the inevitable?
 * Lord Akazoo: Agitha my dear... When you keep losing the race, over and over again...
 * Lord Akazoo (paints his face with blood): Seeing your enemies lose with you means more than victory.
 * Lord Akazoo: I only request that you let me deal with the King's wife and daughter.
 * Agitha: The Gohma find this acceptable.
 * Lord Akazoo: I have marked the four nests that I have tended around the city.
 * Lord Akazoo: I imagine one of your Shroud Walkers could easily dig them up.
 * Agitha: The Gohma will mobilize immediately.
 * Agitha: Your consumption will be delayed as a token of appreciation. (leaves)
 * Azrily: It's time then?
 * Lord Akazoo: Assuming you brought me what I asked for.
 * Azrily (pulls out a glowing sphere): The Malmord. Ancient Hylian for Fate Keeper, an outlawed prison by the Sheikah.
 * Azrily (throws the Malmord to Akazoo): You can stuff anyone into it, I've heard it's quite comical.
 * Lord Akazoo: I know what it is, that's why I ordered you to steal it from your happy little Sheikah fortress.
 * Azrily: Is this really the only way to survive the Gohma?
 * Lord Akazoo: Don't worry, after the Gohma have consumed everyone we will perform the ritual.
 * Azrily: How do we know if the ritual worked on us?
 * Lord Akazoo: There's a way to find out. (throws a dagger at Azrily's heart)
 * Azrily: Hey!
 * Lord Akazoo: We must act now. The Gohma are already on the move.
 * Impa: I want crossbows pointed at the giant ones at all times!
 * Princess Zelda V: Mother, I had that dream again, but it was a little different this time.
 * Princess Zelda V: I heard words and saw faces clearly... Impa and Rauru were there!
 * Princess Zelda IV: We dream about people we know all the time, Tetralyna.
 * Princess Zelda V: Mother I don't think these are normal dreams!
 * Princess Zelda V: I think I saw something that actually happened.
 * Princess Zelda V: Rauru and Impa, they were with a short Kokiri I've never seen... and a Zora...
 * Princess Zelda V: They all trapped this poor screaming girl into a sword!
 * Princess Zelda IV: I doubt Rauru and Impa would imprison an innocent girl, your dreams are playing tricks on you.
 * Princess Zelda IV: You need to stop obsessing over your dreams.
 * Impa (enters the room): I'm sorry to ruin your vacation in Malkariko, but we have a problem... (brings the Princesses to the wall)
 * Impa: They began circling the city a few minutes ago.
 * Impa: This is too organized and restrained for their normal behavior...
 * Princess Zelda IV: What is causing the difference?
 * Impa: I only have a weak theory.
 * Mido: Are you sure we can really trust General Akazoo?
 * Agitha: Yup!
 * Agitha: Focus on digging up the nests around the city, Mido.
 * Agitha: Then let them consume...

Outro
The Gohma crawl into the keep. '''Tetralyna hides under the table. Akazoo enters the room.''' '''Princess Zelda IV draws a dagger and stabs Akazoo at the face. Akazoo falls, but gets up.''' '''Akazoo removes the dagger along with part of his skin, revealing his skull underneath. Princess Zelda V runs away from Akazoo, but finds the escape route being blocked by Azrily. Azrily imprisons Zelda V inside the Malmord.
 * Impa: Fall back to the Keep! (runs away from a pursuing Gohma Matriarch)
 * Princess Zelda IV: Hide under the table until Impa gets here.
 * Princess Zelda IV: Akazoo what's going on? Are the Gohma driven away?
 * Lord Akazoo: Oh no, the city is quite doomed.
 * Princess Zelda IV: You're wearing Sheikah war paint...
 * Lord Akazoo: To the Sheikah this is war paint.
 * Lord Akazoo: To me it's a reminder that I am the happiest man in the world.
 * Princess Zelda IV: Akazoo what's going on?
 * Lord Akazoo: I never told you how much I loathe your husband.
 * Lord Akazoo: I never got to tell you just how much I loathe you too.
 * Lord Akazoo: How much I loathe all the lovely people in charge of this oh so grand Kingdom.
 * Lord Akazoo: You were once the greatest thing... now you've become a joke. (touches Zelda's cheeks)
 * Princess Zelda IV: What in the name of Nayru...
 * Lord Akazoo: I loathe the joke you've become, Zelda! (stabs Zelda IV with the dagger, then discovers Zelda V hiding under the table)
 * Lord Akazoo: Little Tetralyna, is that you? (knocks down the tables)
 * Princess Zelda V: Why are you doing this? My mother held you in such high regard!
 * Lord Akazoo: We live in a society where all are brought down to the lowest level by each other.
 * Lord Akazoo: And yet, we live in a society of idols where those such as you are worshiped!
 * Lord Akazoo: Praise was given to your mother on a warped sense of love and nostalgia for your ancestors.
 * Lord Akazoo: Disgusting hypocrisy!
 * Lord Akazoo: The Kingdom of Hyrule has fallen into complacency.
 * Lord Akazoo: Everything your parents did, utterly worshiped and heralded.
 * Lord Akazoo: And those that dare to point out the flaws of the Kingdom to help it are hounded.
 * Lord Akazoo: Shove her into that stupid thing. (walks away)
