Blue Eyes and Red Pools
What is it I have to say
To make you admit you're afraid?
What is it I have to say
To make you admit you're afraid?
Again, we get vicious.
MWA HA HA HA!
But more of a verbal sort of cruel
Gracefully cruel
Oh sweet waves in the moonlight
We shall descend upon despair
And a darkness that surpasses death
There are visions
There are memories
And echoes of who we used to be

Blue Eyes and Red Pools
The Wonderland of Slavery
You live in a church
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
And you won't give up the search
For the ghosts in the halls
You wear sandals in the snow
And a smile that won't wash away
Can you look out the window
Without your shadow getting in the way
When Link woke, he was not lying on the floor of Koroshi's castle. He was sitting on Ikari's back, and she was running. But all was not right. Link still wore his collar, and the end of the chain was in Ikari's mouth. His hands were bound with rope, and his sword was at his back. Ikari eventually slowed to a stop and let her rider off.
"What the hell is going on?" Link asked.
I bought my freedom and took you with me.
"What do you mean?"
Well, I guess it's time to tell you the truth of this land.
Ikari sat down, still holding the chain in her mouth and speaking directly into Link's mind.
In this dead land, everyone is either a master or a slave. At the current moment, I am your master and you are my slave.
Link looked very confused.
I sold my fledgling wings for my freedom and got to take you along. If I was wandering around without a master or a slave, then I would be caught and just sent back. That is an experience that I don't want to repeat.
"So I'm in a worse position than I was before." Link said, sitting down.
No, because I can get you back to your homeland. You'll just have to stick with me and put on a show for a while.
"It still sucks." Link said.
Not everything can be happy and free as it was in your country, fairy-boy. You're so used to everything going your way that when something bad happens, you don't know how to react.
"That's a lie!"
Ikari moved, leaping at Link and pushing him into the nearest tree, claws dangerously close to his heart.
Fairy-boy, I've been a slave to this land since the day I was born, and my last fight with Kaibutsu robbed me of the only freedom I had left. And just when my new wings were about to be born, I sold them to save the both of us. Now shut up and walk or I might sell you back to Koroshi.
They traveled together, side-by-side in silence, for days. Many people offered to buy Link, but Ikari refused, no matter how high the price.
My price is too high for you to pay
That was her response, and then they would move on. When the seventh day came, Link gave out. He couldn't walk anymore. Ikari set him on her back and walked on. She was close to home, and wanted a safe haven for before she could rest. That was the only thing on her mind since she had escaped. Home---where her brother was. She continued walking for days without rest.
But she had continued to lie to Link.
She had left out important details of this world.
And because of those lies, she wouldn't let anyone take him until he was home.
Away from this wonderland of slavery.
