Intro
'''A Chilfos grows out of ice before being split in half by Link. A second Chilfos approaches him from above, but its attack is blocked and its head decapitated. Wizzrobes walk around the training ground. Pyromancers are practicing pyromancy, an Acolyte is reading a tome, and an Illusionist is levitating. A Conjuror waves his hand, conjuring more Chilfos for Link to train with. Link decapitates the first two and kicks the third one. Hylia walks into the training grounds.'''

 * Link: Your Grace.
 * Hylia: You believe that you have some skill with a blade?
 * Link: Not to tout, but I'm probably the best swordsman here.
 * Hylia: And you believe your blade gives you power?
 * Link: You bet.
 * Hylia: Show me.
 * Link: Seriously?
 * Link: Is that some kind of fool's guard?
 * Link: I was going easy on you.
 * Hyla: There is no guarantee an enemy will give you that luxury.
 * Hylia: What might help you defeat me?
 * Link: You clearly are a better swordsman, I need to become better than you.
 * Hylia: A possible solution, but there is no guarantee you will never face one with superior skill.
 * Hylia: Your weapon is a tool, not the other way around.
 * Hylia: You believe the sword gives you power, and that gives me power over you.
 * Hylia: You would give up your source of power?
 * Link: You know the sword better, it's your power and not mine.
 * Hylia: Good, we are getting somewhere.
 * Hylia: This is the lesson of power.
 * Hylia: Do not become a slave to that which grants you power.
 * Hylia: A King may lord over the world as he sees fit, but he must be a slave to his people for they give him his power.
 * Hylia: If he is not bound to duty, the source of his power will turn against him.
 * Hylia: The Wizzrobe at my command wield an arsenal of magic that gives them much control.
 * Hylia: Take away their tools and they are nothing… they are frail.
 * Hylia: They are not masters of their magic, they are slaves to it.
 * Hylia: The only true power is the will to reject power… and that takes something many lack.
 * Link: What would that be?
 * Hylia: Courage.
 * Ooccoo: Dear Goddesses I can't believe he destroyed half the damn Sky City!
 * Liyer: Yes and we have to hurry, we don't have much time before the Gohma react.
 * Liyer: Order an garrisons left to the surface of Hyrule!
 * Liyer: The rally point is a mile southwest from the crash site.
 * Commandant: Right away!
 * Ooccoo: I pray we have the numbers left to contain the Gohma.
 * Sulkaris: You sacrificed all of your power just to slow me down?
 * Demoko: You have no way to obtain the Triforce, I think this is over.
 * Sulkaris: This is not over!
 * Sulkaris: I will continue my advance on Hyrule and whatever I see, I shall devour!
 * Demoko: That is not you speaking, that is the Gohma.
 * Demoko: You did well to hide your tracks, but I recognized the pattern as the power of the Sages faded.
 * Demoko: When I saw you remake Sulkaris' body before my eyes, I knew it was you.
 * Demoko: You are lost, Sulkaris. You never had control of the Gohma.
 * Demoko: Something missing?
 * Sulkaris: Where is it?
 * Demoko: You will have to show yourself with only six Medallions, I'm afraid.
 * Sulkaris: Where is your medallion?!
 * Demoko: This is my final command to you, Liyer.
 * Liyer: I will carry out your command.
 * Demoko: I am sorry that I have failed to teach you what you need to know.
 * Demoko: Farewell.
 * Demoko: I am sure Liyer will find a safe place to keep your claws off of it.
 * Ooccoo: We have to act fast and burn the Gohma to the ground before they set up a hive.
 * Ooccoo: If they manage to start laying eggs they'll begin spreading.
 * Liyer: We'll have to chance with Sulkaris in her ranks, we have to get her out of the picture.
 * Link: How do we do that?
 * Liyer: Demoko believed that Sulkaris is after the Sage Medallions, taking them from each kill.
 * Liyer: That is why all your powers have faded.
 * Rauru: To what end would they serve her?
 * Rauru: Their power can't help them obtain the Triforce.
 * Liyer: Demoko believed another agent is at play, Sulkaris' warpath is some kind of screen.
 * Liyer: He entrusted me with his Time Medallion to keep it away from the Gohma.
 * Impa: That would make a tempting lure.
 * Liyer: Exactly, we Sages can lure Sulkaris away.
 * Liyer: That would give the armies a much greater chance at weeding out the hive before it grows.
 * Ruto: Do you really think Sulkaris will fall for that bait?
 * Ruto: Will she really chase after us into the wild?
 * Darunia: Yeah… she might suspect something if we just go running off.
 * Liyer: But if we head there… an area with heavy population...
 * Saria: She might think we are seeking safehold for the Medallion.
 * Kazzak: You would risk the lives of everyone in Castle Town?!
 * Liyer: Not if we play this right.
 * Liyer: Ruto, I'm sending you to warn the people of Castle Town.
 * Liyer: We need to clear the streets leading to the Temple of Time, where we will lure her to.
 * Liyer: Junior, I want you to go with her and set up as many ambushes as you can.
 * Junior: I have a few statues to spare.
 * Liyer: The rest of us Sages, when we get her attention we will lure her to the Temple of Time.
 * Liyer: We will hold her off as long as we can and hope our armies can destroy the hive by then.
 * Darunia: We'll not be able to do much to Sulkaris without our powers!
 * Liyer: With luck she will retreat after the destruction of the hive there.
 * Impa: If our assumptions are wrong we'll likely all be dead by sunrise.
 * Rauru: It is the duty of a Sage to protect Hyrule, with or without our powers.
 * Darunia: A hopeless battle that will probably lead to our doom… sounds like my kind of fight!
 * Liyer: The best of luck to all of you, let's get to it!
 * Liyer: How the battle unfolds here is up to you, King Kazzak.
 * Kazzak: Alright, listen here!
 * Kazzak: I want Hylians on the northern front, Gorons and Zora to the south, and Oocca down the center!
 * Liyer: Princess, if I may have a word with you for just a moment.
 * Kazzak: Funny, my allies and enemies seem to change with each hour.
 * Ooccoo: I have no love for Hylians, King Daphnes Kazzak Nohansen of Hyrule.
 * Ooccoo: We are no allies, more like… business partners.
 * Kazzak: What business are we in together.
 * Ooccoo: Pest control.
 * Rauru: Dear Goddesses, she's come out into the open...
 * Ooccoo: Hylia...
 * Link: Your grace!
 * Hylia: You arrogant boy, you're supposed to clean messes not create more!
 * Hylia: You will stay silent until I permit you to speak!
 * Kazzak: I presume you are the leader of these birds that have killed my people?
 * Hylia: I am not here to treat or fight with you, King.
 * Zelda: You're here for me.
 * Zelda: Well, here I am.
 * Hylia: What do you know of me?
 * Zelda: I have seen you before in my dreams.
 * Zelda: I have seen you and the Sages create this sword.
 * Zelda: I have predicted the arrival of your servants.
 * Hylia: Then is it true, you see both the past and the future?
 * Zelda: Since I was a child.
 * Zelda: What do you want with me, to be your little fortune teller?
 * Zelda: You think I'll help you after all the people your armies killed?
 * Hylia: I too have seen the future, a future so terrible that I blinded myself to it.
 * Hylia: I have spent centuries in silence hoping to find a way to prevent it.
 * Hylia: I thought it was hopeless with my bloodline ended.
 * Hylia: Yet here you are, my blood in flesh.
 * Hylia: Don't you see, you are my descendant.
 * Hylia: With you I have a claim to the throne, something your people would not allow.
 * Zelda: Even if what you say is true, why should we hand over the kingdom to you?
 * Hylia: Accept me and I will destroy the Gohma here and now!
 * Hylia: Cede Hyrule and bow to me, Hylia, as your Goddess and you will all be saved this night!
 * Hylia: Abandon the Old Gods and herald my advent!
 * Zelda: What if I reject you?
 * Hylia: You won't.
 * Rauru: Zelda, please think this through.
 * Rauru: This woman is dangerous and will change Hyrule in ways that can't be undone!
 * Hylia: Hyrule cannot depend on the Sages anymore, you have lost your powers and failed this land!
 * Hylia: I will succeed where the Sages have not, with but a word from you, Princess!
 * Zelda: You tried to kill my father for your own ends, I can't accept you.
 * Hylia: I am offering you my power, you would reject it?
 * Zelda: I would. We will fight the Gohma on our own and we will win.
 * Rauru: A wise choice.
 * Zelda: Are her words true, Rauru?
 * Rauru: We have much to discuss when we are finished with tne Gohma.
 * Nostrum: Perhaps you have found more than a descendent in her?
 * Hylia: She will give in, they always do.
 * Rauru: She never said she was part of the damn bloodline!
 * Impa: You trusted Hylia to begin with?
 * Rauru: I am not a Sheikah, sometimes I take people for their word.
 * Impa: A foolish habit you have, old man.
 * Rauru: And that there is why you have no friends and family.
 * Liyer: Let's just focus on what needs to be done.
