"Link, you need to tell us these things."

Link ignores them.

"We don't need the sundelions, then." His shoulders relax. "They're very expensive."

"...okay, cool. Uh, there was a ton of Malice around in the divine beast Revali summoned me in, I didn't exactly roll around in it but it didn't do anything to me from me just not being super careful around it."

"Point in favor. Though Ganon might not have noticed you yet then to put his attention to you, or his Blight... you didn't see a Blight?"

"Vah Ruta's Blight didn't appear until I cleared the ship." He frowns. "You're worrying too much," he decides.

"I think there's a lot to worry about, if Ganon possesses me I could pretty trivially destroy the world. Actually, probably we should tell Revali about this so he knows to dismiss me if I seem compromised, though I don't know how he'd notice if I wasn't on his beast at the time."

"You're dismissable?"

"You know what we should do if Ganon possesses you? BLAST YOU WITH A DIVINE BEAST LASER."

"I don't know if he's that invincible."

"I'm pretty invincible! But yes, I'm dismissable. - I guess if the possession has any chance of coming back with me that would be bad."

"Hmm. I'd guess that even if Malice goes back with you, it at worst maintains the behavioral alterations like it did with the Gorons, not bring hypothetical Ganon himself along with it. But that's only an intuition, not really evidence-based. You mentioned that your summoning might be hard to replicate for some reason. Do you mind saying more about how all of this works?"

"Demons like me and a couple other similar kinds of beings with their own worlds can be summoned. Normally this is done by humans on Earth, where I'm originally from. Revali said that instructions on how to do it came to him in a dream or a vision of some kind. Basic unsafe summonings are simple enough that it would be sort of weird if they worked all the time here and nobody had ever done one."

"We don't know nobody has done one, do we? They might have covered it up because they didn't want anyone to know their secret, or maybe whoever they summoned didn't stick around for a long time. There's a lot of forgotten history."

"When and where were you summoned? Maybe there's something special about it."

"On Vah Medoh last night, about..." He checks his clock. "Twelve, fourteen hours ago?"

"The blood moon."

"The blood eclipse! The villagers were talking about it."

"I suppose it's possible that was operative somehow."

"The blood moon is said to thin the boundary between life and death, to allow slain monsters to claw back to life. A lunar eclipse is said to thin the boundary between worlds. The second one at least is measurably true, in a physical sense, though we don't have many theories why."

"If we can't summon your kinds of beings outside special circumstances—we should try it anyway!—do we know that you can be dismissed?"

"We admittedly do not know that! In principle killing my summoner would also dismiss me but he's already dead!"

"If his spirit is released in any way, that might do it anyway! Link! Did Mipha say what exactly is keeping her here?"

"No."

"Do you have guesses?"

"It didn't sound effortful for her."
