A man in a jerkin, a Human, was in an arguement with the priestess of the Temple of Nayru. Their voices are raised, and there is a crowd slowly growing around them.

The as you join the crowd, too see what is going on, you hear the Human yell, "Well if these goddesses are even real, how do you know that there are three? If they each had immortal power, then one of them could have easily made Hylule alone, and the others could create other worlds. And also, How do we know, even if tey are real, if they are good? The Desasters could be prevented if they were good, and they have immortal power, so they could have saved all we have lost from Ganon, Vaati from years ago! We would be in harmony if they would help-"

"Stop!" The priestess demanded, "Why do you think they don't excist? Our ansestors have known their power, and they will-"

"Silence, woman! They exist as likely as a cucco could be a god, or goddess. Or maybe there is only one who takes control of both evil and good, who is wise using both, to even the world. Or maybe there is even NO god!" People began to gasp, and the Hylian Preistess tried to argue fyurther, but the Human raised his hand to silence her. "There are no goddesses! There are simply beings who were created by the flow of time and nature. He are fortunate to witness life, and the odds are why we live. Who agrees?!

You raise your hand in response.

kasei arrives on the sceen, then says his mind

younge man, there is no true proof that the gods of this world exist, but then, there is no proof that they do NOT exist... who are you to deny the beliefs of these people?

kasei waited for his answer

Blank just happens to be strolling by when the argument bursts out and becomes heated. He listens intently to what the others have to say, and notices the Priestess is having trouble retaliating with her own views in the debate. Knowing well the points the prove there are Goddesses, the nomad steps into the discussion.

First of all, you do not need to tell this woman to be silent. Her opinion and religion is just as valued as yours, bud. Now then, here are few reasons why there are indeed three Goddesses.

Think back to the days of Ganon. He has appeared throughout history many times, each time wielding indestructible strength granted to him by the Triforce of Power. If the Triforce is not a creation of Din, Nayru and Farore, I would be hard pressed to find an alternative source to its mystical aura.

Furthermore, you speak of these disasters. Now, I'm not exactly a first class history student, but I do know a bot about this kingdom's past. Including the Great Drought and the Great Flood. Sure, the Goddesses could have prevented them, and yes, I know that they even caused one of them. But for a good reason. We as a community need to pull our own weight and bring ourselves through ages of turmoil and crisis. Relying on a far-begotten miracle to save us is foolhardy. We would become lazy if the Goddesses were to aid us in every strife.

kasei looked at the man next to him, and smiled, and continued

The man pauses, considering Blank's words. He licked his lips before replying. "... Well, I agree with that, I supose, but think about this; how do we know that they are goddesses. They may be gods. And how do we know that there are three. There may be one. She or he could have held all of the powers, and given all of her strength for Trifoce years ago, creating the three triforces. And also, Nomad, think of this; how do we even know that there are goddesses or gods. The Great Drought and Flood could have just been very bad weather, being that Hyrulean weather is very desent for the most part, save for a bit of rain and a
storm." A sly smile produced on his face.

Gender is not an issue in the subject of divinity. It does not change the fact that they exist. I would rather they be females, however. Women tend to be among the least greedy of each race. In fact, I rarely see a female engage in an act of evil or distaste. But I digress; it doesn't matter. I believe that the stories passed down each generation use the term "Goddesses" loosely. There is always a possibility that they are not feminine entities, and perhaps they have no gender at all. I simply choose to believe that by calling them Goddesses, we symbolify them as beings that are fair, kindhearted and righteous. They have proven themselves to possess these qualities through the creation of this great land. Also, you wonder if there is only one. Perhaps there is, but we value the notion of three. Look back on the legends. The Triforce, representing each Goddess individually, is a reminder. If it had been one God or Goddess, why would three pieces be needed in a divine relic such as that?

Oh, and think of this. You still deny their existence, believing that the Drought and Flood were created on account of horrific weather. Perhaps the former, but the Flood? Are you mad? As far as I recollect hearing on those events long past, the Great Flood covered an entire land. Such a feat is impossible, but it becomes believable when the roles of the Goddesses are considered. Also, have you noticed a correlation between events such as the Flood and Drought? Each was tied to the coming and passing of Ganon. And what stories are tied directly to the tales of the King of Evil? Yes, the Goddesses. Can you really deny it? How can it make sense any other way?

The man looked for words to deny for the third time, but stopped. Kasei and Raru eyed the Priestess smiling at Blank. Finally, the man found words. "...Well, I can understand it not having any gender. That is understandable. But I look more upon reality, and logics, mostly. I understand the sciences of Magic; they are just complicatedtricks, so they could not have been created or formed by the goddesses. And, for the prayers by people, how can only three souls listen to every prayer of every race? And, we have gained knowledge since the acnient times, and could now
can understand that, but they still don't think much of it logically. And, the Great Float was from bad weather; think about it; Hyrule has very desent weather. It was only summoning for that terrible one. It is mostly that simple. And..." His voice faded.

The crowd had grown much now since Blank had joined the group. Evn some guards had come, weapons ready. The result of Blank's impresive arguing had caused most of the people to either think negatively of the man, and impressed with Blank. There were easily more than 50 people circling around Blank and the man.

Magic, a complicated trick? Finding a certain card in a full deck of cards or biting a quarter in half to blow it back into place are tricks. Real magic comes from many sources of unexplainable forces of the world. A simple Fire spell can be used to burn down this entire Castle Town. Does that sound like it a "trick?" Now, no one is saying that the Goddesses are the source of all magic. They are mysterious powers that researchers and scribes have looked into for countless years. No one can trace magic back to its roots, and so no one has ever made the assumption that it was the Goddesses that began the cycle.

Also, about the prayers... The Goddesses could not possibly intend to work very many miracles, as that would send our world into state of laziness and dependency. So why bother listening to all of them? Tell me, if you were given millions of letters to read and were to choose on which to respond to, would you go through each one? Of course not. Because you have better things to do. Now, I'm not sure what the Goddesses are doing when not creating planets and working random miracles, but I'm sure they can be quite overworked.

And you still claim that the Great Flood was a travesty based on bad weather? Tantari and Parapa Deserts see rainfall very rarely. With this so called "decent weather," wouldn't the next time they see rainfall be another Great Flood to them? I'm sorry, sir, but you say you apply logic to this scenario. I can find no sense in believing that one of the world's greatest tragedies was caused by bad weather. Plus, there's the issue of Ganon, as I already mentioned. He had begun a new reign of terror at the time, as we can all recall. And you say that it was a bit of bad weather that led to his downfall, along with the deaths of thousands upon thousands of men and women? What a lovely coincidence. But illogical by all standards.

I think not! he approached the man, and wispered in his ear you'd better leave, or i'll introduce you to the grim reaper... kasei pulled out his knife to set an example...

Luckily, only a few heard Kasei, and those who did were silent. The man's face was pale. He looked up at Blank, shaking in fury, and burst out his anger by running out of the crowd. As he ran, Blank, Raru, and Kasei could hear him yelling, "I failed... It have failed you, master." All the towns people heard him, and a guard yelled, "He is one of The Exiles! A former servant of Ganon! Someone, stop him!!!!"

Blank raises an eyebrow as the man flees the Temple Quarter shouting all sorts of ramblings that the nomad finds himself unable to listen to. All he hears is "failed," "Exile" and "Ganon." Being a relatively logical person, Blank decides that following Kasei in pursuit of the man could lead to his own downfall; the last thing he wants is to be the target of one of Hyrule's most feared factions.

Rather than give chase, Blank shrugs his shoulders and strolls in the opposite direction. He had gotten his point across during the debate: Mess with Blank and you get a mess. Now, the Hylian is far from a distinguishable brawl monger, and does not hold himself in such high esteem. Rather, he finds it humorous that such a debate could spark. Besides, no woman, let alone a Priestess, would be insulted and belittled in the presence of this nomad. Bored of this scene, Blank strides towards his favourite place in the castle town. Where else but the Ornery Cuccoo Tavern?
