The lands of Akkala go past as he flies. More lakes, more rivers, more settlements. Nothing much stands out.

Permalink

Eventually, he hits a mountain range. The grass slopes go rockier as he crosses, and eventually turns into crags marble blue rock. When he gets deep enough, nestled in the mountains over a great lake hollow is a grand city seemingly carved and polished out of that blue marble, glittering in the sun. Inhabiting it are people that look like they've been fused with fish, not wearing much except some of them light jewelry and wielding weapons. There is a giant, exquisitely chiseled fish sculpture on top of the central palace of the gleaming city. They appear to have a theme.

Permalink

Gosh, fish people. Hopefully they aren't being menaced by a giant magic robot squid or anything.

Permalink

Nope! There is a giant magic robot elephant though.

Permalink

Is it menacing.

Permalink

Perhaps fortunately for it and its surrounding geography's structural integrity, it isn't doing much of anything! In fact, where the other magic robots before were glowing purple, this one is glowing blue in where that might be expected. It's mostly still, gazing in the direction of Hyrule Castle.

It's a way west of where his projected flight path. Does he want to take a look?

Permalink

No, if it's just standing there he's going to leave it alone, if he provokes it something's going to wind up exploding.

Permalink

Onwards he can go, then, past the rocky blue mountains. He finds a bit of plains, a river, and there's another huge mountain. What's up with the mountains around here? It's taller than ones before, piercing far and above the snow line. Its peaks are cast in glacial sheets, and also a bunch of... evil... stuff.

It's goopy Malice! More similar to the organic-looking stuff he saw on Vah Medoh than the amorphous haze he glimpsed of the Castle. It's all over the top of the mountain.

Permalink

Half this continent needs a pressure washer. Is it menacing anybody?

Permalink

Nope! No one appears to be on this giant icy mountain by eye and if he tries to conjure for people there aren't any. The Malice isn't even moving or attached to any kind of magic robot animal. He may spy some of those horrible yellow eyes growing out of the muck if he gets close enough or employs some binoculars, but otherwise it's just sitting there.

Hi, creepy horrible yellow eyes, enjoy the view of this tiny speck flying far away from you.

Permalink

Hyrule has run out of plot hooks to lure him with, and he will make it eventlessly the rest of the short way to Hateno Village.

He'll actually see the tech lab before the village proper, a retrofitted windmill seated on a hilltop kitted out in ancient technology.

It has outside its door a weird contraption looking like a solid metal hot air balloon with a squat torch stand out front, which he might have noticed another of back in the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab. This one, however, has a brilliant blue flame roaring in its pyre, and the engravings in the metal globe lit up in the same color. Next to it there's a circlular pad embedded in the ground, also glowing weakly blue.

He lands right outside the lab, looks around, knocks.

Permalink

He is not made to wait this time. Pattering footsteps approach, then the door yawns open to reveal small girl in red, eyelashed glasses.

"Linky! Do you have something to do with..."

Permalink

"Uh, hi, I'm not Linky whoever that is."

Permalink

"...that's new," she says to herself. "And who are you?" She sounds delighted.

Permalink

"My name's Cam! What's new?"

Permalink

"You! I've never seen anyone like you before. Where are you from? Does your species have any native magic?"

Permalink

"I'm from Hell, and yes, I can make things." Sheikah Slate.

Permalink

"Wow."

She stares.

"Wow! Symin! Symin, come look at this! Can I see can I seeee—"

She makes gestural grabby hands for the Slate but does not actually attempt to snatch it out of Cam's hand.

Permalink

He hands it to her.

Permalink

She squees as she turns it around.

"Can all of your people do this? Is this actually made of real starsinter—it looks so new!—or is it a construct that's going to vanish after a while—what are the limits—" Poke poke. Button combination. Click click click. "Out of power. Did you do that on purpose or can you not make it charged? Symin!"

A white-haired man looking middle-aged and bookish finally emerges behind the girl. She practically throws the Slate at him.

"Guardian Stone! Power this up!"

    "What..."

"Go!"

Permalink

"I don't seem able to make them charged. It's real and presumably made of real whatever they're made of. I have a volume per time limit but it's a very large one, and I need some idea of what I'm making and either dead reckoning or something like line of sight or touch to where it's gonna go."

Permalink

"That's amazing! Is the volume per time continuous or discrete? As in how simultaneous can you make it: can you make something that will break if it less than all of it is existing at the same time, even for a nanosecond? Can you make antimatte—DON'T TRY THAT!! Do not make antimatter under any circumstances I am very very serious please!!!"

Permalink

"I can't make antimatter - I've never personally tried but other demons have. I can probably make something that isn't too big that has that property but it might take me a couple of tries. I'm not sure what you mean about the volume per time limit."
