Hi! For Wildâs chapter in Like a Rag Doll, is it possible to get a translation for the old English sentence at the beginning? I think I got most of it but I am not sure about the âwarden hi onyenesâ part is supposed to be.
Thank you!
Hello! Just to be entirely honest before I share it--I absolutely based it off the stone tablets in totk. There are some other words that I researched before adding, but for the most part it was me squinting at the text and trying to figure out how the words worked XD
You did get most of it:
'Ond so the goddesse seyde tha a champion bith from the skie comen, to warden hi onyenes the wroth god of derknesse.â
"And so the goddess said that a champion born from the sky will come, to ward it against the wrathful god of darkness."
It's definitely not perfect, but I'm choosing to make it the consequence of time on poorly kept oral tradition.
But yeah, it's referencing how Sky had to hold back Demise, specifically the seals he would use. Hylia was 'speaking' in this part, as her plan to defeat Demise was explained to the audience ^-^
#i was annoyed by how poorly integrated the past was with the present in totk#like i can understand why certain choices were made#but i disagree with them and it's my fic soooo#worldbuilding be upon ye#the hero of the sky would've been a very ancient tale to the zonai#who favored him because of his parallels to their society#a civilization in the sky that descends to share its knowledge and power with the land below?#yeah he was their alexander the great--a strong mascot figure to associate themselves with to give legitimacy to their rule#however since they're goneâ the main impact is that they carried sky's story into the future#hence why his story is still known and being told by musicians (with varying degrees of accuracy)#it also marks the resurgence of people worshiping hylia#the story was altered over time to kinda gloss over her more morally questionable actions#leading to her being worshipped on a more personal level in botw with smaller and more casually decorated statues set up across hyrule#rather than the grand and distant honor of ss#is that a lot of information to cram into a throwaway line? maybe.#but i have to fit my headcanons *somewhere*#starslog#lu doppelgĂ€nger au
