The three of them sat at a table far at the back of the main room at the inn. It was a slow night, with few travelers around, but he still worried about anyone recognizing them. It was already bad enough that the fierce deity's height alone attracted attention.

"You couldn't have chosen a shorter physical form?" whispered Sheik, when he noticed the serving girl staring at them from the entrance of the kitchen.

"This was the only physical form worthy of me," said he deity.

Dark snickered and Sheik glared at him.

"Dude, what would you have done if someone unworthy had worn the mask back in Termina?" asked the shadow, and took a drink of his mead. The deity had declined any kind of food.

"I would have destroyed them. The hero of time, though, was an adequate enough vessel for me."

"So, are you really a god?" asked Sheik, realizing halfway just how ridiculous the question sounded.

"Indeed."

"That's... I mean, I have never heard of any gods besides the three goddesses that created Hyrule."

Oni growled low in his throat. "Din, Farore, and Nayru might have created Hyrule, but I found them to be terribly annoying bores. And it is a humilliating coincidence that I had to rely on them to recover a physical form."

"They helped you to escape the mask?" asked Sheik.

The deity smirked, and Sheik noticed that his fangs were far sharper thank Link's.

"I wouldn't call that help. But because the hero of time had a piece of the triforce, he was touched by a divine essence which allowed me to inhabit his body with almost my full power. Any other mortal would have been consumed and torn by my power. The goddesses will not appreciate this outcome from the use of their triforce though."

That caught Sheik's attention. "They would be angry?" he asked.

"Din is always angry," said Oni, waving a hand dismissively. "And Farore throws a fit over everything. I highly doubt they will care enough to send down rains of fire as punishment, though Din used to fancy those back in the day."

Sheik rubbed his temple. This had to be one of the weirdest conversations he had ever been in. "Well, that's good to know. Rains of fire would not be a welcome thing," said Sheik, because why not? why not point out the obvious?

"But the princess, she should not know of my existence yet," said Oni. "She has been touched by Nayru, who is petty, and thinks she is smarter than me. She is not."

Sheik wanted to ask about that, and for a moment wished that the shadow would quip in with some smartass comment that would prompt the deity to speak. But Dark's smirk turned tense, and he sat back without a word.
