[Her eyes flutter open, peering up at the cave's ceiling as she slowly stirs from her slumber. Circular patterns of light shift above her while the distant echo of water laps within the pool surrounding her cocoon. A soft pressure against her side pulls her attention towards a small box resting at her hip. She stares at the curious object before turning her attention back towards the ceiling.]

Was I asleep?

[Her voice is soft and sweet. Somehow sounding like it doesn't belong to her. She searches her memories for what happened as the cold wind from outside the cave snakes its way to her, brushing over the exposed sections of pale skin. She remembers fire, heat, someone is holding her... the memory breaks and shatters before she can see more.

Time stretches as she futility searches through hazy broken memories for more.

When Terra finally moves her limbs feel stiff and unused. Her palm holds onto the side of the pod as her boots step into the cold water below her. She takes the box into her hands and carries it out to the entrance of the cave.

It's all so familiar...

The brightness just outside the cave makes Terra pause and squint.]

Snow?

[Terra lowers herself to her knees, placing the box at her side as she gathers a bit of snow into her palm. There are snow banks further away, already stained with black from the cars that rumble through the streets, but not this snow. The snow in front of the bay is white with only a few footsteps and shoveled grooves marring it's perfection.

It feels like I've forgotten something important.

But I can't remember what it could have been

Or even why I was asleep.

But... I know it'll come back to me and maybe then, I can find my way

Terra doesn't move from the bay's entrance nor does she pay much attention to the hologram or pamphlets. There is something that she's trying to remember...]

I will, thank you.

[Terra shakes her head.]

I don't like fighting but I want to protect my friends. [Things are changing for Terra but it's to long of a story for her to dive into the details.] The Calamity Ganon? Is it a person who caused the Calamity?

[She isn't sure but Ganon sounds like a persons name.]

Yes! Protecting your friends is wonderful! That truly is admirable!

[ah yes. sidon got a bit more serious at the mention of ganon.]

Yes... Calamity Ganon is someone that caused many people to die, many heroes to fall, and for our nation to become in the state that it is now. My... sister, tragically, was among those that fell.

You think so?

[Terra appears thoughtful for a few moments before she pulls her attention towards the discussion of Ganon. He sounds truly awful and not unlike Kefka. The comparison sends an uncomfortable shiver down her spine.]

I am sorry. I hope I didn't pry into unhappy memories. [She doesn't want to do that, not when Sidon's only trying to be helpful. It isn't right of her.] I hope that Ganon is stopped, for your sake as well as your world.

[No world deserves that sort of tyrant.]

Oh, my good friend Link is well on his way to doing just that! He is here in this place as well, you know, and you must meet him one day! He is amazing, and so wonderful! You would love him as well!

But... it is quite alright. While the memories themselves are tragic, I know that things will get better. One must look at the bright side!

[Terra's expression softens.] I would be happy to meet this friend of yours. [He certainly sounds amazing.]

What bright side are you looking on?

Wha... why... the fact that we are alive, that we can make friends! That bright side!

Are we friends?

[Terra steps up to him, her lips curling into a bit of a smile as she met his gaze with bright blue eyes.]

Why, yes of course we are! How could you think otherwise?

We've only just met.

[Her memories are still very fuzzy but Terra is fairly sure it's more difficult than this to make friends. Even her time with Locke had been more teammates than friends, though she doesn't have much to compare it with.

Yet, friends is a very comfortable word and the more Terra's thoughts linger on the idea, the more she finds it fitting.]

True, true... but that does not mean I feel as though we are friends.

[sidon has just always been this way. friends with certain people as soon as he meets them.]

I intend for us to get along and to talk more, of course.

I'd like that.

[Her expression softens.]

I look forward to getting along with you. [And perhaps finding flowers when the snow thaws.] Sidon, do you have a favorite flower?

A favorite... flower?

[hrmm... he thought to himself for a moment.]

I don't believe I do. I have heard that the Silent Princess flower from my homeland of Hyrule is very beautiful. But I've never actually seen it.

That sounds beautiful. I would like to see it someday if I can.

[She wonders if there is a way to have such a flower appear here.]
