Part 651: Robin B

Zzzzzz...

(Well, hello there... Tiki is snoozing again, eh? Perhaps you need to nap more than normal people when you're thousands of years old.

Anyway, nap time for Tiki means question time for me! Now then... Tiki, what happened after you slept at the ice dragon's temple?)

Zzzzzz... N-no!

Hmm?

P-please... don't seal me away... I want... to be free... Zzzzzz...

What's going on?

...I... will not... allow this... You're making... me... ANGRY!

T-Tiki?! What's happening? Are you all right?

..... Zzzzzz...

Gracious, she sounded truly terrified... Tiki, are you all right?

...Yes... I'm all right... Mar-Mar...

...Mar-Mar? (Oh wait. She must be talking about the ancient hero Marth. Something terrible happened to her long ago, but King Marth came to the rescue?)

Mar-Mar...

(Aw, look. Her face is lighting up like a child on her birthday! So cute! She must have loved the ancient king very much...)

Mar-Mar... please don't... go. Don't... leave me.

(... Oh, dear. Another sad time. I guess I assumed that living as long as Tiki would be all fun and games. All that time to do and see the things you desire? To learn whatever you want? But she must have experienced countless hardships as well...

She would've watched the people she loved the most age and die... How terrible. I hope her dreams have some happy memories as well.)

Zzz... Thank you... Robin...

You're welcome, Tiki.
