Chapter One
Chapter One:
Hyrule. A land created eons ago by the Three Goddesses that descended upon a broken land. Din, Farore, and Nayru; three entities that held Power, Courage, and Wisdom in all of their purity. In a land that had been plagued by wars since the beginning of its time until the current king united the races of Hyrule under his command, did the Three Goddesses come down upon. They poured their powers into every crack and crevice that they could, until the land became what it is today and what it would turn into. A land that once held flaming wars and broken dreams that had carried over into the new era.
The current king brought peace to these warring people and helped rebuild Hyrule out of what was left of it. The pieces were picked up, homes placed back together, and villages abandoned for memories and heartache still lay in the remains of things long since forgotten. Things that should have been remembered, mistakes that would repeat themselves until there was nothing left of them but troubles and worries that could not be erased. The ashes of old had been removed and placed under the old flames, or so the Court of the Royal Family claimed. Not everything is as it seems.
A pact was formed between the four major races of Hyrule: Goron, Zora, Hylain, and Sheikah. The Goron are a rock-eating species, living inside Death Mountain that sits on the edge of the lonely mountain range along one side of the land. They keep guard over the ever-active mountain, looking down upon the land as though they were the unknown Gods that watched over Hyrule in all of its glory. The Zora are a fish-like species, thriving in the waters deep next to the Forest. They are the guardians of the rivers and streams, keeping the water pure for all to enjoy. The Sheikah an ancient race that, long ago, served the Royal Family to the end of their lives. With so few Sheikah now living inside Hyrule, the pacts of old wore thin and some have broken off to where so few now obey their ancestors ways.
The other races inside Hyrule have not come to terms with those that dwelled inside the castle of Hyrule, two that were never given much thought to. The child-like Kokiri did not have an alliance with the Royal Family; at least, one that concerned the king and ones that slipped passed the watchful eye of the guards. He knew that this race existed, yet held no reason to go into the Forest that was forbidden to all but the Kokiri. They held no interest in the King himself, rather in the underlying forces that kept themselves hidden behind curtains of darkness. What the current ruler of Hyrule did not know would not hurt him – for the time being, perhaps.
The Gerudo, the second race that held no ties to the Royal Family, the band of thieves that hailed from the desert Valley on the other side of the land. It was several days journey from the castle by foot, a days by horseback. If one was lucky, creatures that lurked in the corners or any other creature that wanted the taste of blood would not ambush them. This was, however, another region where the king did not venture, instead ignoring it as he had no intention of ever seeing what was beyond the rock formation that told countless adventurers of the presence of something that did not need to know about. The Gerudo weren't a race that seemed interested in the Throne of the land, keeping to themselves and going about their thievery as they had for a long time since the beginning.
These same alliances did not seem to concern her at the present time, as Queen Kaya sat on the pillow that laid upon the top of her throne, her hands gripping the plush armrests of the seat as tightly as they could be. Her young face hard-pressed and rock solid as her features allowed it to become, her blue eyes devoid of emotions and anything else that gave way anything that she felt inside of her. There were a few beads of sweat that dripped down her face, the only thing that showed something was wrong and that there was any hints of panic inside of her. Her black hair, unusual for a Hylain and any attempts to dye it went unsuccessful, every strand in many braids, held on top of her head with a sapphire tiara hold them in place, with the ends of these same braids resting upon her shoulders. Her white dress, held at the waist with a purple belt with a Triforce buckle in the front, garnished her with royalty as she sat in near perfection on the throne.
She did not allow her panic to swell to the surface to the extent that would have her thrown out of the Throne Room, the possible reaction that would come from her loathed husband whirled in her mind with her troubled thoughts. There were so many things that went inside of her mind that she could not sort out what was suppose to happen and what had happened, her eyes dropping down onto the ground below for a moment before they raised back up again. There was no denying that what she saw in front of her was reality, yet she wished it was a dream that had not come true as of yet. So many dreams that crossed over into reality that she felt she was in a walking sleep, her mind closed off to anything that could show her otherwise.
Yet, the king beside her, the husband that she had been forced to marry in what seemed like decades ago, did not notice the posture that she held or the beads of sweat that came down her face as he watched a tall figure walk up the red carpet towards the thrones, his stride slow and graceful. His crimson eyes seemed to hold an evil tint in them, which seeped out into the pure floor in which he was walking on, a tint that was ignored by the guards and by the man that sat there with a forced smile on his lips and a nearly impossible look of forced interest on his face. His clothing was that of the Gerudo, the thieves that came from the desert and were looked down upon by the king himself, dark armor that had been created for him alone or had been taken off the body of a slain soldier.
There was a smirk on his lips, a smirk that said what mere words could not express in a lifetime. It gave the king the impression that the two of them shared a mindset, that no one was above them, not even the Three Goddesses or the Sages themselves; that gave him some pleasure to know that there was another that did not grovel at anyone's feet nor showed any mercy to those that did not deserve it. For Kaya, it gave her a dreading that she did not like, something that made her stomach freeze her and heart stop in her chest. And, yet, both knew that this man was after something, more then what he was letting on.
"Your Majesties, it is a pleasure and great honor to have an audience with you personally." He stopped only a foot away from the head of the Royal Family, dropping to one knee and bowing his upper body to the rules of Hyrule. It was a sign of respect towards the two, an outward appearance that masked other intentions. "I am Ganondorf of the Gerudo, who hail from the Gerudo Valley."
"Yes, Ganondorf. I have heard of your name in passing," The King replied, his smile not faltering the slightest. "Certain rumors have managed to surface throughout the castle that I have not been able to ignore."
"It is yet another honor to know that you have heard of my name, Your Highness," Ganondorf said, keeping his bowed position as best as he could. His own smirk faultered slightly, a wince of disgust going across his face for a split second. He was thankful, at least, that his face was not fully facing the king or he would have placed more doubt upon the damned Hylian's mind then there already was. "It is with more pleasure that you have answered my request to have an audience with you in your busy schedule."
"Likewise," He muttered, silently and quickly stealing a glance over towards Kaya before returning his eyes back upon the man that kneeled before him. "I am most curious to know what brings you so far from your home. Gerudo Valley is more then a few miles away from the Hylia and the other side of this land. It is so far away for anyone to travel alone."
"My home is far away, yes, but it is a journey that I was willing to take," Ganondorf said, his eyes narrowing into slits for a moment before they opened fully once again. A journey that has been in my favor, even before I had set foot into your damnable castle, he added silently to himself.
The king nodded. "Understood, even if that time has been in vain. I do not see a reason why a Gerudo should be in my presence."
Some would have used those last words as an insult, but Ganondorf only let it fuel a burning desire within him as his raised his upper body to look directly into the eyes of the king. He ignored the woman sitting next to him, a reminder of what he had left back in his own home in the desert and what awaited him in the courtyard of the castle. His intentions that day, were only to plant seeds in the minds of the castle and to come back to water them year after year before they eventually grew to a point that he was satisfied and ready to harvest those seeds. It was only the beginning of a long process, one that he did not want to take but had little choice.
"Your Honor," Ganondorf started, spreading his arms out and opening his palms towards the ceiling as he did. "I have only come here to forge an alliance with the Royal Family. I have many allies in other lands that have information that you may desire, information that is vital to your lands."
"Information?"' The king inquired, leaning forwards some. "What kind of information do you have?"
If that had not intrigued him, then Ganondorf would have resolved into other tactics. A smile came to his lips, seeing the interest in the man's eyes and taking note of the hallowed look of uncertainty on his face. Surely any information that was not known to him, was information that he would pay for dearly. Many things that he did not know himself, would eventually be paid with by blood; even with the peace that was supposedly sprouting across Hyrule, there were some tools of the wars that were still being used to this very day. They were kept hidden beneath the corridors of the castle, along with prisoners that no one knew about and were kept well out of the public eye.
"Yes, information. It is on other lands that will ensure your victory in battle. Information that will have more power to this Family then you can imagine." There was a short pause before the words continued. "There are several bordering lands in which would not mind overthrowing you and taking over the throne. Treaties have been forged, yes, but signed parchment can only hold for so long and it is only paper. From what my scouts have told me in the last several months, there are armies that are waiting for the opportune moment to strike."
"There have been armies and rulers that have been at Hyrule's doorstep before, so it is not as uncommon as you think it is," The king said, his voice dripping with irritation. If this was all the Gerudo had come because, then he was wasting more then just his time. The idealistic pact that he, the ruler of Hyrule, had forming in his mind with a man that seemed to hold such power, was beginning to fade and fade fast. "The boundaries of Hyrule have yet to be breached, as far as I am aware of. We are surrounded on all sides, by mountains, trees, and a desert waste. The borders are our protection and our prison. They keep us safe while also holding us in."
"I understand that, but all prisons can be broken into. My clan has ways of doing just that. Your borders aren't as safe as you think they are." That was an implication that the king did not like to hear coming from Ganondorf, not when the words held true. Many a time there had been Gerudo prisoners in the cells of the dungeons below the castle and every one had escaped without so much as breaking a sweat. How those women managed to escape the security of the dungeons and lived to tell about it, was his only guess. "I know of several of your seemingly close allies are already rallying against Hyrule for war, in secret meetings and in the open courts of their harems."
"I am not interested in engaging in a war, Ganondorf. I have kept the peace in Hyrule since I have became king, and I intend on keeping it that way," He insisted, his tone becoming lower and his voice louder. Most would have slowly started to back up and do their king's bidding, but there was nothing on Ganondorf's face that showed he was the least bit afraid. On the contrary, he was starting to look just as agitated as the man in front of him was. "I will not fight anymore unless it is to protect this land. Unless you have solid proof of these allies rallying against my land, then I see no reason why I should become alarmed. No harem girl will prove otherwise."
"They are no mere harem girls, Your Majesty. My warriors can do the job well so no lives of yours will be lost in the areas of spying and the first lines of defense," Ganondorf said, holding back the snarl that was threatening to show itself. "I'll give you your proof, just as soon as I have your word in allegiance."
"Band of warriors, you say? Allegiance?" The king began to laugh as though the court jester was entertaining him. The laugh only made the blood of a Gerudo boil, his eyes narrowing and teeth baring slightly. Only Kaya seemed to take notice of the sudden change in Ganondorf's once controlled demeanor and shifted uneasily in her seat. If her husband did not control himself soon, she feared that there would be more then a few angry words exchanged.
"They have their own ways of fighting and have been able to prove themselves in more then a few battles," He said as calmly as he could, holding back the drive of blood back. It had been a week since he had smelled the sweet scent of someone close to death that the urge to hear the last breaths of life escape from the dying souls lips. "Do not underestimate the power of the Gerudo."
"The Gerudo are just mere thieves and nothing more," The king said after the last laugh had been done. "I will not allow such nonsense to reach my ears, about wars that are not even alive and bands of allies trying to overthrow me. I have no reason to believe what you say."
"Sire, I only wish to interest you in such information just in case a war is an option you must take." There would be a war, that much Ganondorf knew, but it wouldn't come from any bordering lands. No, it would come from inside the very walls of the land that they shared. He would make sure of it.
"When that time arises, I will take what I have into consideration and nothing more. I have more then enough resources to handle a full-fledged war without the help of the Gerudo." The king stood up from his throne and leaned forwards with a glint of anger in his eyes. "Leave the castle immediately or I will have the guards escort you out or put you into the dungeons. Your choice the way you want to live the rest of your life."
"Very well, so be it," The Gerudo said calmly, raising himself from the kneeling position he had been in. "I will keep coming back, year after year, until I forge a pact with the Royal Family. Just remember, we are not as different as you may think we are."
With those words being said, Ganondorf spun around quickly on his heels and paused for a moment to glare at the two guards that were beginning to come towards him. He put his hands up to stop them and started to walk towards the entrance of the throne room without much as a glance behind him to see the reactions of the king and queen of Hyrule. His true anger did not show on his face, more like the beginnings of what it meant to see a Gerudo even the slightest bit pushed to their limit. He would keep true to his words, both spoken and kept hidden from all that heard him, that much he would do. As long as he was able to cross the Field and walk into the castle grounds without having to shed his own blood, then he would keep coming back until he had what he truly wanted.
His anger could be masked for the guards that stood watching him walk out of the throne room, but that same anger could not be hidden from a pair of eyes that had watched the entire meeting without even setting foot inside the throne room. Ganondorf had glanced over towards a small, glass window that overlooked a garden as he had walked by it, both sets of eyes piercing into each other before Ganondorf's darted back forwards with murder inside of them. There was no denying that his own intentions that day had been taken into consideration by the woman that did not need to hear what had been said between a king and a Gerudo, as long as she knew that there was something wrong. He knew someone was there, watching and waiting, and he didn't need to see her face to know who it was that watched.
"Damn Sheikah," Ganondorf muttered to himself as he stepped out of the throne room and into the corridor. That much he knew from the few seconds that he had seen the woman standing behind the glass, watching the entire event fold in front of her as she kept herself half-hidden by shadows. The piercing gaze, the silver hair, the crimson eyes---all traits that were on every Sheikah he knew and every one that he had killed during raids. He couldn't let her get in the way of what he was planning, not even if he had to add her to the ever growing list of the Sheikah he had killed or seriously injured. If she knew anything, even by a single glance, then that was what he had to do.
They had placed themselves all across the Market, many hiding behind veils and kept their swords sheathed in their scabbards. Some leaned against buildings, arms crossed over their chest and eyes staring blankly across the stalls and into the eyes of merchants that dared to look back. The meeting of gazes only lasted for a second, maybe two, before the merchants lowered their gazes and muttered things to all their customers within earshot. Some of the Hylains glanced in the direction of the Gerudo women that were watching them intently, shivers going down their spines as they held their purses closer to their body. They did not want to find any rupees missing, more then what they had already spent on goods and items that they needed to survive another week.
There were some that wore normal Hylain clothing, disguising themselves among the people that frequented the Market and held themselves high above the rest. Their hands were quicker then the perceptions of their victims, rupees being pocketed into purses of the Gerudo and a soft smile faltering on their lips. This was how their goods were purchased, through stolen money and by ways of a quick hand and glancing eyes. Merchants would not immediately notice that their items were long since gone until it was too late and the thief was gone before they could be caught. It was the way of the Gerudo to get by like this, simply and as quickly as they could. No blood would be shed during these simple, yet effective, raids that few could see with their own quick eyes.
Only two Gerudo women did not join in the watching of the Market, instead had placed themselves outside the castle gates and sat not even two feet away from the guard that stared as straight ahead as he possibly could. He was afraid, afraid of the two women that were watching him closely with one eye, the other trained perfectly upon the bend that lead up to the castle; they were making sure that the guard did not try anything towards them while also keeping lookout for their own leader. They had been trained since birth, to watch over their only male companion and to make sure that one of them fathered the next generation of male leaders.
The other would become the sister-mother of the child, a second set of eyes to watch upon the child until it reached adulthood before she would be cast off into the Haunted Wasteland to die or to become the adoptive mother of the child if the blood mother did not wish to continue her duties to the next leader after a set number of years. Both women knew magic -- as it was in their blood to do so and had been bred for this type of duty -- and had been taught by Ganondorf's blood mothers themselves; one of them would take the two old crone's places at one point in time when the two of them eventually died.
That was what awaited at least one of these two women, as they watched the guard squirm where he stood. He wanted to turn around and leave his post empty, so that he wouldn't have to look upon the women who were just as deadly as they were beautiful. The perfection upon these Gerudo were what made them valuable to Ganondorf, their flawlessness in battle and ease in the bedroom; as long as they could perform as both as a defense to him and as a way to release tension, then they would never have to risk their lives in raids or to lift a finger except when they acted as guards to him. Their duties were being used little on this day, even when he had left them to keep anyone else from entering the castle, even the milk caravans from Lon Lon Ranch. No one could enter the castle with Ganondorf present, not even the child Princess of Hyrule.
They sensed him coming even before he walked down the dirt slope and around the bend by way of their magical bonds, standing up with ease and brushed off any dirt that was upon their pants. They remained as they were until Ganondorf was in their sight, their bodies becoming rigid and hands placed upon the hilts of their swords as he came around with a flair of anger about him. The gate to the castle opened without the Hylain guard even turning around to see who was coming from the castle, the iron bars moving half-way open to accommodate the Gerudo King and closed after he had left the confines of the castle's grounds. He did not need to say a word to the two women that were watching him with curiosity, moving quickly by them without word as they turned on their heels and walked just as quickly behind him.
Ganondorf's steps were quicker then they had been when the small group of Gerudo had entered the Market and himself and his two guards went towards the castle; instead of looking around and seeing ways of placing his own guards in places that would benefit him, he kept his line of sight straight ahead. His steps were certainly longer and quicker, something in his walking that made him seem more imposing then they had been if he didn't give off the aura that something didn't go right inside the castle. The two women did not question what went wrong, as they surely would hear his ramblings in bed.
The path from the castle to the Market wasn't long, just enough to allow commoners to walk to the edge of their homes to look up at the castle for a moment before turning around and going back to their duties. Ganondorf and his guards weren't ones that were merely glancing at the castle, their strides fast and simple as they made their way through the crowded Market. Most of the Hylains had gotten out of their way, to keep themselves distanced from the Gerudo. One of the guards let out a shrill whistle, which marked the passing of their leader and for all Gerudo that weren't passing themselves off as Hylains to follow suit. The women pushed their way through the crowds, giving glares back to those that had given them the same glares, as they joined their comrades on leaving the castle-town behind.
The small handful of Gerudo that would be left behind would return in a weeks time, scouring places that they would not normally be able to get into if they were not clothed and acting like a Hylain. Ganondorf had given them instructions to steal little and gather information the most, his eyes meeting theirs for a brief moment before he was ushered out of the Market and onto a waiting horse; the beast would return him back to Gerudo Valley and to look back on the brief meeting with the king. It wasn't a total loss, not when the seeds had already been planted and everything would soon be as they may.
"I will not do such a thing, Kaya," A scream echoed through the dining hall of the castle. Several maids jumped at the mere echo of the powerful voice, cringing at the tone and rolling their eyes at the flashing of heated anger that went through his royal eyes. They didn't have to see his face, or know what he was talking about, to know that he had been angered by someone or something and they had to leave before his wrath would be unleashed upon them.
It had about nearly three hours after Ganondorf had left the throne room and headed out to parts unknown in Hyrule; where he went and why he was going there, the king did not know nor did he plan on knowing. As long as the Gerudo was out of his sight and out of his thoughts, then there was no need to worry about him. Other business had taken the spot of where he had once kneeled down upon, business of executing prisoners and taxes on goods more important than information on wars that were not even close to Hyrule's boundaries. He had gotten the wars to stop, somehow, whether he had taken the glory for himself or had gotten his own hands dirty; either way, he wasn't about to engage his own soldiers in wars that did not concern him. That was what the peasants were for, to become the first line of defense and offense for the land. That was a hidden requirement for those that lay beneath the soldiers feet, something that no one was willing to tell those that could only dream of living inside the castle.
However, as soon as Queen Kaya and her husband had come into the dining room, the encounter with Ganondorf soon slipped from her tongue and onto the table in front of her. She had sat down on one of the red chairs, looking up at the king with a tranquil look upon her face and hands folded neatly upon her lap. The king himself paced at the head of the table, not even looking at her nor letting himself find the same peace that she did. Whereas she had been taught to hold back any emotions, he outwardly gave into those same emotions. They were opposites, brought together by a forced marriage that was bound together by royalty and tradition.
"He is dangerous. I say we must act and act now, before he does anything that you'll regret later," Kaya said calmly, keeping her blue eyes upon him. She was more then different from him in appearance, more then in knowing what one who is lavished with royalty should and shouldn't do. An orphan from birth, she had grown up on the outer edges of Hyrule and brought to Kakariko Village as a young girl. There, she learned the proper way to hold herself and to become a bride into the Royal Family. Once married, she had a daughter and continued to hold onto the throne as if she had been born into royalty herself.
"There is no danger in having him run free. There are no threats," He answered hotly, turning around on his toes and pausing at the chair he sat in every meal. Placing a hand upon the top, he stared across the room and out into the window that held the freedoms of the simple life beyond it. "I saw no harm in having one tiny visit with him."
"I sensed a danger in him. That much I know." Kaya leaned forwards, staring at him more intently. "He needs to be get rid of and now."
"How can he be dangerous?" He slammed his right hand onto the table and glared at his wife. "Tell me that much."
"He is a thief and he is Gerudo. You said it yourself many times that Gerudo can't be trusted." Kaya lowered her gaze and fumbled with a seam on her dress. "I felt something in him, something that I don't like. He is the one that has been haunting my dreams."
"Not this again, Kaya. Not that damnable dream nonsense. I think you stayed in that Sheikah hell for too long." He crossed his arms lightly across his chest and stared daggers of ice down upon her. "It is getting a tad bit old, don't you think?"
"No, not until you accept the fact that there are things in this land that exist even if you can't see them." Her eyes rose defiantly up into his, the same look that had been seen in Ganondorf's eyes. The only difference was, there was a fear inside of them that made her hold back anything else that she wanted to say. "Our World was founded on the same ideals that you reject, ones that have brought us our prosperity."
"I repeat: I do not believe in such nonsense." The king moved away from the table, his arms moving from his chest as he clasped them behind his back. Walking to the window that overlooked the back courtyard where the early evening patrol was inspecting every crack for those that were desperate enough to enter the grounds. "The so-called Triforce has been hidden in the Temple of Time since the beginning of this World. It was the creation of the Three Goddesses, Din, Farore, and Nayru, that had brought their powers to create this World. Or so says the ancient text."
"If you look inside the library," Kaya started without even turning around to face him, "that none of the history books have been written before that period."
"Our language wasn't adopted until the first readable texts were created," He continued on as though she had not said anything. "Stories have surfaced of the flaming Goddess, Din, the dancing water Goddess, Nayru, and the forest Goddess, Farore. They say that the early Hylains called the sun Din's Fire as it bore strange resemblance to one of Din's eyes. If the Goddesses are legends, why shouldn't the Triforce be? I doubt it exists, if it ever did."
"It does exist. I know." Kaya turned around in her seat and stared at the back of her husband. There were shadows dancing around him, cold blue winds that circled him so that it looked like he was standing in the middle of a pool of water. She had seen these waves around him before, when she had first met him not even six years prior. From the old Sheikahs that had heard of the gift of Foresight, that meant he was going to die and die slow. They also said that while many Hylains had the ability to see things from the future, one would need the blood of Sheikah in their viens to see the dancing shadows and shafts of light like that and to understand what it meant. Kaya had a thin line of old Sheikah blood in her, that much she knew from what she had been told of her family, but that was all she knew of the little else she did.
"Have you seen it with your own blind eyes?" The king asked without even turning around to face her. His voice was hot and irritated from having to deal with so many things at once and if he turned to face her again he might just slap her in the face with the pent-up anger swelling inside of her. Secretly, however, he was slightly scared of what she might do to him since she had been trained under Sheikah noses; she wouldn't dare for fear of what her husband would do to her.
"No, but..." She started before she was cut off abruptly by the sounds of light footsteps walking along the edges of the dining hall. Her ears twitched slightly, her head moving ever so slightly to the right, and her lips moving into a thin line. She knew that someone else was there, watching from the darkness that the torches did not shed their light upon. It was apparent that the king had not heard the quietness of this entrance, as he continued talking as though he had been the one to interrupt her.
"For once, Kaya, I wish you would not talk of this. It is just a dream, none other," He finished, finally turning around to face her and see what effect his words had upon her. Kaya looked back at him, holding her face as firm as she had when Ganondorf had been in her presence. If the defiance held, it meant that she either had not listened to what he had said or she would not hold back the telling of her dreams. Those same dreams that held a dark cloud coming from the direction of Gerudo Valley and lightening that crashed down without a storm brewing overhead. It was ominous and she wished she could only resort to the old Sheikahs that had taught her well.
He did not wait for her to say anything more to him, turning towards the entrance way of the dining room and walking in long strides towards the double doors. The guards standing on either side of the doors, took notice of his approach long before he had even started moving towards them, opening the door enough to let him through. With their heads bowed down towards the ground, they waited a moment before raising their heads and closing the doors tightly. They did not even take notice that their queen was still in the dining room, the only remaining maid inside cleaning the corners giving Kaya a look of pure disbelief and a comforting smile. At least with some of the servants inside the castle, there was knowledge among them that no person was above a king.
"He is stubborn, my Queen. More stubborn then Zelda, it seems," A cool voice said from behind her. Kaya stood, smoothing out her dress and turning towards the voice that spoke to her. A Sheikah woman stood where the king had once, her arms crossed tightly over her chest and her body towards the very entrance that had been opened only a few seconds before. Her eyes were upon the queen, crimson orbs that knew so much but held so little to be given in return. "He does not seem to care about the history of the land or the people in it. I still wonder how he ever became king."
"From what he has said, the actual Royal bloodline ended with his adoptive grandfather, but that is more then one of his shares of lies," She responded with a shake of her head. "I have long since stopped believing a word of what he has said since we were married."
"His credits do not go far, that much I can tell you. I have served this family since before you came to the castle, freshly wed to that bastard of a king." The Sheikah's voice did not waver from it's high tone, even with the guards present inside the room. They knew of her thoughts of the king and had been expressed more then once to him. And, still, she maintained the same mindset as before.
"Did you see the Gerudo?" Kaya whispered. "Tell me you saw the same darkness around him as I did."
"Yes, I did," The Sheikah said, nodding. "I was watching from the gardens where the king can not see me and does not know I was watching. There is something about him that I do not like, both this Gerudo and the king."
"Then you sensed it as well?" There was a hopefull look in her eyes that was quickly masked by a inquired look as the last maid walked by them and towards the doorway that the servants used. "The darkness?"
"The evil is strong within him and a hidden power as well that will only get stronger with time." There was a tone in her voice that called for urgency, even if it did not come as quickly as it should. "I fear that he is not after alliance but after the throne and possibly more."
"It is true, then. The man from the desert." Kaya seemed to the point of becoming excited, her eyes darting around as though she had been told something truly wonderful. "I will station guards around the Temple of Time so that....."
"No, " The Sheikah said quickly, raising a hand to hold any plans of the queens to rest. "That would only make the townsfolk wonder what is going on and raise suspicion among the people and in the Royal Court. Not all guards are willing to do the queen's bidding. There are also Gerudo in the market, more then you think there is and well hidden. That would give them something to think about, the guards in more force around the Temple then there should be, and more then what they could ever tell their own king. They might think that there is something hidden in there, when they have no other reason to believe that there isn't."
"Is there?" She asked. "Is there something hidden in the Temple of Time?""
The silver-haired woman looked around, lowering her voice then she would if there was no one else around. "I won't say it here, not now. Not when there are ears that can speak."
"Oh," She said with a light of understanding, her eyes flickering towards the guards for a moment. "Impa, what if it is true?"
"What is?" The Sheikah asked wearily, her eyes shifting across the room without looking at the queen herself.
"My dreams," Kaya asked in a soft voice, placing herself back upon the chair she had sat upon only moments before. "The ones with the man that hails from the valley."
The Sheikah remained silent, her lips pressed into a thin line as she stared at the doorway across the dining hall. She was watching something that Kaya could not, something lurking just beyond her line of sight. It moved effortlessly across the hallways and down the stairs of the castle, into the dungeons and out of the range of the two voices that barely carried over the silent roar of the dining room. Small ears that weren't able to understand the strangled words between queen and Sheikah, ones that all knew too well. Those same words that were spoken carefully and were not ready to let the rest of the land know of what was yet to come.
"I do not know, Your Majesty. We shall see in time," Was all that the Sheikah said, giving her one last look before shifting over and around the long table and towards the hallway that ran in front of the large room. Kaya did not follow the Sheikah with her eyes, instead stared down at the table in front of her. There was nothing of interest that was upon it, except that she kept her gaze away from the entrance as much as she could. The Sheikah was about to strike in her own way, strike with the passion that both knew had in her and the deadliness that was known to be in her blood. What she was going to do was not what was worrying her, but things that were well beyond her reach.
Well beyond what she could do alone.

"I can't believe he's gone, Ma!"
I hadn't expected to hear that voice; waking me up from my little sleep. I could only imagine what must have happened to that little girl across me, her tear streamed face tugging at her mother's shirt who looked away from her child. Maybe, just maybe, I could understand.
It was a normal day, bright and sunshine-like outside. But no one could have guessed what was happening today. My father, the father I hadn't seen for more than two years now was coming back!
Mum had told me so many stories of him, how he'd played with me when I was a little girl and sung me to sleep with his sweet little lullaby's. Now daddy was coming back, and I couldn't wait to see him!
I jumped up and down excitedly on my feet, as I watched mum make the house merry. She must be very happy too! We had already set up the house with sparkling lights, and mum had cooked. The food's delicous aroma drifted throughout the house, making my stomach rumble in hunger.
Christmas time was here! And this was going to be my second Christmas spent with dad. I wonder if he'd changed. If he looked different. But it's only been two years; he couldn't have changed much.
The phone rang in the hall, and I hurried over to see if maybe it was dad who was calling.
"Hello, we're calling from Royal Hospital. I would like to speak to-"
"Mum! Royal Hospital called!"
My mum hurried over to the phone, a skeptical look on her face.
She'd only been on the phone for a few seconds when her face twisted into a look of pure shock and horror. She hung up on the phone call and took my hand wordlessly, racing us out the house. What was going on? She drove like mad to the hospital and dragged me through the sickly halls finally arriving at a door. We entered the room, and on the bed, dying was my father.

Like rowing, sailing was cancelled at the 1896 Games because of bad weather. It was also dropped from the 1904 Games but resumed in 1908 and has been included in the programme ever since.
The London Games will feature six events for men and four for women and the categories include dinghies, keelboats and windsurfers. Competitors will take part in a series of races with the lowest number of points awarded for the best finishing position. In the final race — known as the medal race — the points are doubled. The overall winner is the individual or crew with the lowest total.
Unfortunately for windsurfing, it has now been ditched from the Olympics from Rio 2016 in favour of kiteboarding.
Hélène de Pourtalès became the first woman to compete in the Olympics - as a member of husband Hermann's crew which won the 1-2 ton sailing class for Switzerland in 1900.
Switzerland's future success was limited to a silver and a bronze in the 1960s but women fared rather better with occasional medal wins before they were given their own categories from 1988,
Great Britain has won the most sailing gold medals with 24 and has also produced one of the most successful individual sailors in Ben Ainslie (pictured), who won silver in 1996 and then three successive golds.
The Dane Paul Elvstrøm holds the record for the most sailing gold medals, winning at four consecutive Games from London 1948 to Rome 1960.
There have been significant family achievements in sailing. In 1912 the six-metre class was won by the French brothers Gaston, Amédée and Jacques Thubé and in 1952 Sumner and Edgar White won the 5.5-metres class for the United States.
In 1960, Crown Prince Constantinos was a member of the Greek crew that won gold in the three-person keelboat event. His brother-in-law, the future King Juan Carlos, sailed for Spain at the 1972 Games, followed at later editions by his niece and nephew. Reports suggest that for all his status, the Crown Prince was unable to avoid the traditional celebratory ducking, and was shoved into the water by his mother, Queen Frederika.

Stuart Lancaster did not admit it in so many words, but he has had his fill of Wales and its rugby population for a while. No sooner had England's caretaker coach finished licking his wounds after last weekend's narrow defeat at the hands of the World Cup semi-finalists than he found his best-laid plans further undermined by the Llanelli-based Scarlets, who pulled rank in respect of the highly rated No 8 Ben Morgan.
Morgan left the England camp yesterday, to link up with the Scarlets for tomorrow's RaboDirect Pro12 game against Connacht. The sooner the Bristol-born No 8 finds his way back across the Severn, the easier life will be.
That may happen quickly. Morgan, who was fast-tracked into the England squad at the start of the Six Nations, has been linked with a move to Gloucester at the end of the season – a theory that gained credence yesterday when the current Kingsholm No 8 and captain, Luke Narraway, announced that he will play for Perpignan next term. Narraway, the best footballing back-rower in the country by a considerable distance, made the decision for two reasons: firstly, because his chances of resuming what was once a promising international career have become increasingly remote and secondly because he had been told things were moving in a "new direction" at club level. Quite possibly in the direction of Morgan.
Lancaster, preparing for a difficult trip to France on Sunday week, had wanted to wrap his starting line-up from the Wales game in cotton wool. Fourteen of them will indeed ease their way through a light training session at Loughborough University today. The exception is Morgan.
"Yes, we tried to talk Scarlets into letting Ben stay with us, but ultimately it was their call and they told us they required him for their game this week," Lancaster said. "Because Ben plays his club rugby in Wales he's not covered by the Elite Player Agreement, like those playing in the Premiership. You can have the negotiation when these things arise, but you're not in a very strong position."
By agreeing a move to the rugby badlands of Catalonia, where the locals are even more boisterous than those who congregate in the Kingsholm Shed, Narraway, who has seven caps, has effectively closed himself off from Test rugby. It is current Twickenham policy not to pick from abroad, unless exceptional circumstances arise. While much of the 28-year-old's recent rugby has been exceptional, mere attacking brilliance does not meet the governing body's criteria. When he crosses the Channel, he will leave his red-rose ambitions at passport control.
"I think the selection policy is here to stay – certainly, I've heard nothing to the contrary," Lancaster said. "I spoke to Luke on Monday, when he contacted me to inform me of his intentions. We spoke about how difficult it would be for him to press his claims for an England place and he's fully aware of the situation. It's a player choice and I understand that this is a great opportunity for him. I also know that there are plenty of other people who want to play in the back row for England."
In all, 18 of Lancaster's 32-man squad were released from camp yesterday. Joining Morgan on the road out of Loughborough was the fly-half Charlie Hodgson, who missed the Wales game with a finger injury and must now prove his fitness with Saracens, who meet Northampton at Vicarage Road on Sunday. Even if he plays a blinder, it is difficult to see him returning to the starting line-up in Paris. As the coach pointed out, the midfield axis of Owen Farrell, Brad Barritt and Manu Tuilagi punched their weight against Wales.
Not that Farrell was in the best of health yesterday. Together with the wing Chris Ashton, he was struggling with a bug. At the same time, there were concerns over the lock Courtney Lawes, who was packed off to hospital for a scan on a shin injury. Two fringe players, the Harlequins centre Jordan Turner-Hall and the Northampton flanker Calum Clark, were under treatment for ankle and shoulder problems respectively.
Wisely, Lancaster resisted any temptation he might have felt to moan about the refereeing of Steve Walsh in the closing seconds of last weekend's game, although he did refer to the Australian official's failure to give England one last penalty opportunity – a major mistake – by saying: "We were playing an advantage, so it's clearly something on which he will have to reflect."
The coach was more interested in the scrummaging and discipline issues that cost England their unbeaten record in this season's championship.
"We're making progress," he said, "but we lost some composure under pressure against Wales and we can't afford to do that again."

Cassiopeia A: On the origin of the hard X-ray continuum and the implication of the observed O VIII Ly-/Ly- distributionJ. A. M. Bleeker1, R. Willingale2, K. van der Heyden1, K. Dennerl3, J. S. Kaastra1, B. Aschenbach3 and J. Vink4,5,6.

(Received 6 October 2000 / Accepted 24 October 2000 )
We present the first results on the hard X-ray continuum image (up to 15 keV) of the supernova remnant Cas A measured with the EPIC cameras onboard XMM-Newton. The data indicate that the hard X-ray tail, observed previously, that extends to energies above 100 keV does not originate in localised regions, like the bright X-ray knots and filaments or the primary blast wave, but is spread over the whole remnant with a rather flat hardness ratio of the 8-10 and 10-15 keV energy bands. This result does not support an interpretation of the hard X-radiation as synchrotron emission produced in the primary shock, in which case a limb brightened shell of hard X-ray emission close to the primary shock front is expected. In fact a weak rim of emission near the primary shock front is discernable in the hardest X-ray image but it contains only a few percent of the hard X-ray emissivity. The equivalent width of the Fe-K line blend varies by more than an order of magnitude over the remnant, it is hard to explain this as Fe-emission from the reverse shock heated ejecta given the ejecta temperature and the age of the remnant. The uniquely high wavelength-dispersive RGS-spectrometer has allowed, for the first time, to extract monochromatic images in several highly ionised element species with high spectral resolution. We present here a preliminary result on the measurement of the OVIII Ly- and Ly- brightness distribution and brightness ratios. The large observed decrease of the Ly-/Ly- ratio going from the N to the SE can be explained by small-scale variations in the column over the remnant and the potential presence of resonance scattering of the OVIII Ly- photons in the limb brightened shell.
Key words: ISM: supernova remnants -ISM: individual objects: Cas A -X-rays: ISM

!!! A lot to take in I now but please tell me things I might want to change or add/subtract due to my inexperience in this field still...and yes I picked up an issue of Streat Rod
Much thanx,
I'd go with a real ford powerplant myself. But that is just my opinion. I would go with something like a mild 351 or even a 302. And I would not put that much money into a transmission for your application.
The Air Spencer CK Citrus Air Freshener has to go, this is not the highest performing air freshener out there. The old Canada pine tree freshener still rules! :p
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.

Well Beau, that's definately a plan and a budget.This is a good thing! Now take your list and start shopping, swap meets, classified ads and catalogs and see how much you can trim off your list prices. You can expect to save 25% to 75% off the mechanical parts by going to the wrecking yards, unless you can do all the installation work yourself you'd better add more in for labor. If more people did this kind of planning before starting there wouldn't be near as many unfinished projects sitting in garages around the country. Good work!!! Now does all that stereo equipment get the oldies station any better than my $15 swap meet JVC cassette player?

You won't even be able to enjoy driving it, with the navigation system it will be driving itself!What rear end? That's another pricey item.
Sounds nice.
[quote]A smooth, more contemporary ride

[quote]I want it to be a totally retro/vintage car

you confuse me
I like the pine tree branch 4 Jaw, a nice finishing touth. $3k trans? Deep pockets or big dreams? Make mine a Viper, purple with Black leather interior, two nitrus packs and a drag shute just in case. My dream Work Car. With full sized spare!
I would go with a ford drive tran as well.Jasper engine's 351M create 2250.00 AOD trans(no computer needed)1750.00 that would save you about 2787.00.
As far a the nav system that is for people that can not read maps or just likes having big brother knowing where you are all the time.
as far as the crime gaurd and pager that is a little high and the pager does not work if you are I an steel structure like the mall??? buy a Viper 900 series. Viper offer a full value replace if the car is taken.
also do not forget there is a charge for using XM up here it is like 35 per month.
sounds like to many play toys unless you are a stereo head and plan on alot of stereo shows.
but this is just my 2 cents
I don't see anything for the optional alternators or batteries to keep it going. I also agree that it should have Ford power, but, to each his own. I will advise that everything is subject to change as you go. Good job on the planning! Later, Jay
Gave this alot of thought over the years, and came up with a simplified formula for someone who can't find a way to hide the rod budget from his wife. Figger on about three times the amount you can't afford to spend if you do the work yourself, much more if you plan on having someone else do the dirty work. Have a secondary contingiency budget for beer, tetnus shots, light bulbs, more primer, more beer, gas for the welder, wire for the welder, burn ointment, another roll of DA discs, band-aids, special tools to save you money, more beer, and some hand cleaner..................Then start saving for an interior and a stereo.
mick, I like your thought process!! I usually put the beer money at the TOP of the list, tho.

Breakup Tweet Challenge: Meet your judge
Ladies and gentlemen, may we present your judge for our Breakup Tweet Challenge: Globe and Mail and Elle Canada columnist—and pithy tweeter extraordinaire—@TabathaSouthey.
Tell us about yourself.
I began writing about 10 years ago, sporadically for the National Post but only began to consider writing to be my job nearly 8 years ago when a book review I wrote for The Globe and Mail landed me a monthly humour column with Elle Canada—which is a bit of a dream gig. In a tidy circle, my Elle Canada column landed me a Globe and Mail column, "Tart," a news and opinion column which runs in the Saturday Focus section. I live in Toronto and am also the author of two children's books: The Deep Cold River Story, and It Must Be As Tall As A Lighthouse.
When did you first start using Twitter?
I joined Twitter about 3 years ago, full of disdain, of course, and I was certain I wouldn't actually tweet myself, but I knew the CBC's delightful Kady O'Mally (@kady) was on Twitter and I wanted to follow her committee live-blogs and some other news sources. Minutes after I joined, she asked a question and I happened to know the answer. Of course I Tweeted back to her and it's like jumping rope, once you jump in, you keep skipping.
What is it about Twitter that inspires/entertains you as a writer?
Twitter is the closest thing I've found to being in a room with a bunch of comics—it inspires the same pace. An idea, or joke builds, and is expounded upon the same way. A quip, as it turns out, is 140 characters long. The enforced brevity of Twitter curtails the curse of the Internet—which is that it gives everyone unlimited space to write and they will keep trying to fill it.
How do you use Twitter?
Twitter is great for breaking news, I think not just for speed but for the candor from both journalists but, occasionally politicians—some frequently step away from talking points if only to comment on a song or a story that's unrelated to their portfolios. It rounds out the picture.
What advice would you give to writers taking the challenge tomorrow?
I would advise contestants tomorrow to tweet their best work, not all their work, if only not to exhaust their followers. Sometimes mulling an idea over a while really improves it. Also a tweet is like a little fish, you tweet it, it swims off into the stream, and is retweeted all the way to the ocean. Proofread your fish. Be funny. Don't be cruel.
What's your best breakup story?
I'll only say that I think I perfected the 140 character breakup long before Twitter. No point in hanging around. Every word spoken kills a sweet memory. "Bye" is only 3 characters, you can always add one "x".
How would you have felt if we had made the challenge a "love tweet" challenge instead?
Can you give us a breakup Tweet to throw down the gauntlet?
I wouldn't dream of it. Possibly the best thing about Twitter is that it's a meritocracy. The best tweeters, many anonymous, emerge from the fray. I love stumbling upon Twitter bright sparks and look I forward to reading many tweets much better than anything I could write.
The Canada Writes Breakup Tweet Challenge is open from 10 am to 10 pm on Tuesday, February 14.

ADA 60F "Les Montanges de Top Gear" last shots before shutdown
So my girlfriend bought me this tank for my birthday back in September.
After having it sit in a corner of my house for a few months I decided to finally set it up after I sold my riparium
Here's how it sits now
This was my inspiration for the scape
The tank has azoo substrate and ohko stone I bought from a club member a few months ago. Lighting will be my 11x3watt LED set up I ran over my riparium. I'm doing an HC dry start for now. The plan is to have HC pretty much everywhere and some fissidens or mini pelia on the rocks. I still have to get my co2 stuff so I'm waiting on that before I plant the rest of the HC (Still have 3 pots)
Thanks for looking!
Dude!! Subscribed!
You got a keeper there with your lady! :proud:
With that nice mound, I'm sure you know you have to VERY careful with filling with water and your water changes!
Haha yeah I like her.
The mound is actually mostly rock with a 1 inch layer of soil. Once I flood it I'll leave it be for a month before I add any animals so that the hc has time to take hold.
Update on the tank.
I filled it in because I was getting impatient. Planted some HC on the slopes too. Hopefully they stick and grow because in some places, there's not a very thick layer of soil before it hits the rock. now I just need some moss
ok so the hc did not fare very well because my light wasn't putting off the right spectrum. I've added some 2700k and 4500k white LEDs to counter balance the 10000k whites i've had on it and so far it's doing better.
I removed all the HC, and got some Mini Pelia and fissidens in and glued onto the rocks. I'm going to get some more HC this weekend and do another dry start.
the plan is to have HC all along the bottom and the mosses on the mountains. Need more moss too
Anyways, some pics
and a FTS
First photo is the best photo.
Thanks! this tank has been an exercise in patience
Anyway, your old perspective mini-m was pretty boss, and I have a soft spot for the -f's so I am excite for this tank.
They guy on 'baaps was right though, where's the mini Jeremy Clarkson? :icon_neut
Blender the moss with some juicy nutrient rich tank water, then paint it all over the rocks.
Mist once a day.
Beautiful scape. I can't wait to see it all grow in!
They blend the moss with water and nutrients (probably old tank water) and add a little bit of buttermilk (not exactly sure what that does) and then they use a brush and paint words like "Love" and "Beautiful" or whatever on the sides of buildings. Secretly at night they mist them and then randomly like a couple weeks later there is a word on the side of a building ''painted'' in moss...
I've seen the article on those moss paintings, pretty cool.
I chopped up the moss with some scissors and just sprinkled them all over the substrate. My worries is that it won't stay down once flooded and the moss will just float up into the tank. The moss thats on the rocks is glued on now.
i want this tank now..
ok, so I attempted to do what YouJettisonMe did and have the mini pelia grow on the substrate directly, but after reading zeldar's journal, although initially successful, the MP eventually started floating away from the substrate, not what I want to do after having grown it out for so long.
I tied it all to stainless steel mesh and placed them all along the top of my mountains instead and the rest is glued to the rocks so they're not going anywhere.
I also added the elatine hydropiper from Raymond, really cool plant. It's yellowing a little because I was out of town for 4 days and was unable to spritz it (plus my spritz bottle broke)
My HC is growing in nicely too
And finally a FTS. I'm moving to SF in May so this tank will remain dry start until then. I don't want to set it all up to only have to tear it down in a few weeks.
Looking good! and your a lucky guy with a great gf! Mine bought me a Fluval Ebi! Pretty exciting!

The Package - Take Four
I was about to doze off nibbling at my sweet, old friend. My wishbone is my constant companion, my lifeline, my sanity and my festive treat. She's been with me for years. She knows me and I know her. And today had been an especially exhausting day. So right after dinner, I snuggled in with my bottle of Wild Turkey, my recently purchased copy of that famed Vladimir Nabokov novel, and the peace and quiet of a September night in my old tin shack at Grasshopper Junction.
With a sweet sip of the good stuff, page one. I didn't even get to the first word, when the Westminster chimes of my well-priced doorbell rang.
"My Sainted Aunt?"
I went to the door and found nobody there, only a package wrapped in brown paper waiting for me to adopt it as something new of mine.
I have this thing about packages ... I just have to open them ... and when I opened this one, my life did take its turn.
Knowing my Aunt Sadie and her twisted sense of humour I opened it with great trepidation and at arms length. This almost proved catastrophic, for the large china vase contained inside near took off my big toe in its suicide leap from my fumbling fingers.
Gazing blearily at the fragments of my gift, I spotted a rolled up parchment that must have been hidden inside the vase. I unrolled it, read it and collapsed on my bunk, moaning and blindly reaching for the succour of alcohol. I came to myself some hours later and found I was still clutching the parchment.
"Certificate of Authenticity. Genuine Ming Dynasty Vase with pattern of Lilies and Cranes."
I fetched my glue.

I don't know about you folks but I find it hard to believe that we're now so close to E3 2011. For me it's an event where for a small handful of days I go all-out nuts and spend the large majority of my free time immersed in the hours of coverage, the flashy press conferences, and the reams of news which pour forth from the internet. While the industry seems to be getting better at spacing out their game releases over the year, for obvious reasons a huge amount of the gaming news is still precision-focused on this one tiny part of the year and it makes for a thrilling, if not slightly overwhelming week of games journalism.
Me and E3
I latched onto E3 back in my early teens around the same time I first discovered Gamespot, the site which became my first real hub for everything video games. Back when I first encountered it I was fairly detached from the industry and had little idea what any of the games they were showcasing were, let alone the nature of the expo itself, but I remember a distinct feeling of excitement and right now I find few things quite as enthralling and joyous as E3. For the past few years the Giant Bomb coverage has certainly helped enhance the experience as well; I think the atmosphere of their podcast and videos has been at some of its best when set against the backdrop of those four days of interactive entertainment insanity. Props to the GB crew and all the other hard-working journalists out there foregoing sleep in the coming week to bring us coverage of the event.
Unfortunately, I've also found that E3 has been a time for the console fanboys to make themselves known... I mean more than usual. Luckily we're not plagued with such things here on Giant Bomb but elsewhere and most memorably for me, at Gamespot, E3 would whip some users into a frenzy of immaturity, insults, and delusion in their "my box of circuit boards is better than your box of circuit boards" squabble. I know, I should just avoid those sites, but it seems a rather sad state of affairs when we have to seclude ourselves completely from some of the most prominent gaming communities because they have been overtaken by a surge of misguided fourteen year olds and grown men acting like misguided fourteen year olds, but as we know this is all part of a larger issue which it's not worth getting into right now.
What I'm Looking Forward Too
So, what am I interested most in this year? Well, not that I'm really aiming to purchase them, but purely from the standpoint of curiosity I'm interested to see what kind of a presence 3D technology makes at the show this year, what non-gaming services (if any) the big three will be adding to or modifying on their consoles, and where "casual gaming" goes from here. I just don't know what Sony's next step will be after the disappointing sales of the Move and it'll be interesting to see how Microsoft plan to build on the success of the Kinect. That's before we even start thinking about Nintendo who, according to various different rumours have built a console with HD capability, a Blu-Ray player, a DVD player, a hard-drive, motion controls, a conventional controller, a touch screen, a camera, and an outdoor patio. It'll be worth tuning in just to see what rumours are true.
As for products I may actually plan to exchange money for, the first three games that jump to mind are Mass Effect 3, Batman: Arkham City and Bioshock Infinite, but I'm sure there'll be plenty more to ogle in the coming days. One of the things I always look forward to most in E3 though is the surprises, those big announcements that you weren't expecting, and the press conferences are chock full of them. In fact speaking of surprises and press conferences I often feel that there's a wonderful underlying bizarreness to E3 which is never fully acknowledged by most journalism outlets. Perhaps it's a side-product of something to do with the games industry as a whole, but taking last year alone as an example, even ignoring the still baffling Konami spectacle, we had Cirque du Soleil doing a performance based around the Kinect, a Microsoft rep taking an Xbox out of another Xbox, GLaDOS assuming control of the Sony press conference, Nintendo showcasing a video where an evil Reggie trapped Miyamoto and Iwata inside a 3DS, the Ubisoft press conference featuring a laser gun battle, the Ubisoft press conference spontaneously breaking into dance at the end, Skittles, and much more. While I'm really following the event for the games and console announcements I also can't wait to see more of the almost unintentional madness that comes along with E3 this year.
They Mean Business
Oh, and not to end on too much of a downer here but one thing has fairly consistently come up at each E3, which has been a bit of an issue among even us Giant Bombers. With presentations of games being shown in more than one press conference, companies worrying about demographics we're not a part of and a whole host of other issues, the press conferences can occasionally fall into pockets of boredom. If you find parts of the press conferences or even stuff on the show floor a little bland and uninteresting there's nothing wrong with voicing your opinion (I know I will), but remember that it's not necessarily a mistake on the manufacturer's/producer's/developer's part. E3 is a fantastic chance for us to see some of the most exciting gaming software and hardware in development, but it is primarily a business event, and as such the main goal of the companies there is to show their business partners and investors what they need to see. Just something to keep in mind.
Duder, It's Over
Anyway, I shall keep you no longer, we have all a very interesting week ahead of ourselves. Thanks for reading, good luck, and get hype.

Had a good impression from previous visit but this time was truly disappointed : the 'poisson du jour' was tasteless and ridiculously meagre . Having been served by the landlady in person the staff can't be blamed.
Chose to have dinner here after we've had a look at what else was offered in town (there really aren't many restaurants to choose from) and my partner was after a seafood platter. Can't really remember my meal (had a beef steak with fries) since I kept staring at a huge plate of seafood on the table which included a...
The Hôtel Atlantique is on the quayside at Belle-Île, so you can watch the ferries come & go. We had lunch there: dos de merlu- (hake) - on a bed of mashed potatoes with Provençale-style vegetables. It was all absolutely delicious, with a glass of chablis. The dessert - a tarte aux fruits, as far as I remember, was OK,...
When it comes to seafood, its the same as with a steak - its only good if its grilled and hot.
