Gerudo's Defeat

Archery, horseback riding, you taught me well.

Stealth, combat, and honor I mastered.

Yet, I could not stop him.

I could not stop the intruder.

Master, I failed you.

A kid got past me.

Master, I dishonored the Gerudo name.

A boy could beat me.

I sat in the rafters,

for hours, awake.

The door opened,

and a young boy entered our domain.

Master, I failed you.

A kid got past me.

Master, I dishonored the Gerudo name.

A boy could beat me.

I leapt down from my perch,

eager to confront the wimp

and send him home crying.

But that was not so.

Master, I failed you.

A kid got past me.

Master, I dishonored the Gerudo name.

A boy could beat me

I drew my swords,

and he drew his.

I figured the battle would be quick and easy.

I was dead wrong.

Master, I failed you.

A kid got past me.

Master, I dishonored the Gerudo name.

A boy could beat me.

He stuck out at me,

and I easily blocked his blows.

He did not give up,

and in the end, he won.

Master, I failed you.

A kid got past me.

Master, I dishonored the Gerudo name.

A boy could beat me.

I struck at him

but he sidestepped my attack.

That was when he struck me.

Pain lanced through my side.

Master, I failed you.

A kid got past me.

Master, I dishonored the Gerudo name.

A boy could beat me.

We clashed a few more times,

then he tried his bow.

I blocked some arrows,

but others hit their mark.

Master, I failed you.

A kid got past me.

Master, I dishonored the Gerudo name.

A boy could beat me.

I was too weak,

he would have killed me,

so I fled back here,

to warn you.

Master, I failed you.

A kid got past me.

Master, I dishonored the Gerudo name.

A boy could beat me.

Now heed my advice,

send many more of us to search,

or he may steal our treasures.

Please, act quickly for me.

Master, I failed you.

A kid got past me.

Master, I dishonored the Gerudo name.

A boy could beat me.

Now, I lie here dying,

no heirs to my property.

Please, give it all to the Gerudo,

and leave me to die here in peace.

Master, I failed you.

A kid got past me.

Master, I dishonored the Gerudo name.

A boy could beat me.

I never had a boyfriend,

never knew real love.

All I knew was the fortress.

Could there be more?

Master, I failed you.

A kid got past me.

Master, I dishonored the Gerudo name.

A boy could beat me.

You stand here,

cradling my head.

You're sad to see me die.

Why?

Master, I failed you.

A kid got past me.

Master, I dishonored the Gerudo name.

A boy could beat me.

Now, it is just you and me,

as my time draws to a grand close.

I patiently await what lies beyond,

only wishing the pain would end.

So farewell, my old friend.
