FormID: 03157E21 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CZerreshju1 5 The only thing to keep in mind is to not tick of any Xivilai too much. We Mazken, and I guess the Golden Saints too, are very disciplined beings. Xivilais? Not so much. Don't anger them too much.
__一つだけ気を付けなければならない事があるとすれば、Xivilaiに対してあまり口うるさくしないようにする事くらいですね。私達Mazkenは…きっとGolden Saintも同じでしょうけれど、規律に忠実な存在ですが、Xivilaiはそうでもないですから。あまり彼らを怒らせない方がいいです。
FormID: 03157E21 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CZerreshju1 6 Good thing that they look kind of intimidating! Otherwise who know what could happen?
__だから、彼らが恐ろしげな容貌をしているのは幸いです！さもなければ、どんな事になってしまうやら…。
FormID: 03157E1F bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CZerreshju2 0 Empathy. From the lowliest Scamp to the highest Aureal commander, these creatures have feelings and thoughts. They aren't mindless killers and monsters, even if they may appear as such.
__「共感」によってです。低位のScampから最高位のAurealの指揮官に至るまで、我々Daedraには感情と思考が備わっています。心なき殺人者でも怪物でもないのですよ。見た目はどうあれ。
FormID: 03157E1F bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CZerreshju2 1 I must confess, it took some thousands of years for me to understand that. To understand that there is something redeemable in any creature with its own will. That is a trait mortals and Daedra share.
__正直言って、私自身この事を理解するのに数千年の時を要しました。つまり、自らの意思を持つ生き物には何かしら救済出来る余地がある、という事ですね。その点において定命の者とDaedraは何の変りもありません。
FormID: 03157E1F bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CZerreshju2 2 Tesserayiel understands, too. That's why she found me, and tries to work with me.
__Tesserayielも同じ理解ですよ。だからこそ彼女は私を見出し、いま共に頑張ってくれているのです。
FormID: 03157E1F bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CZerreshju2 3 This has never happened ever! Even in the greatest peril, Mazken and Golden Saints never tried to help each other.
__これは前代未聞の出来事ですよ！最大級の危機的状況でさえ、MazkenとGolden Saintが手を取り合う事など今までありませんでしたからね。
FormID: 03157E1F bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CZerreshju2 4 Our mission does not only involve mortals and Daedra, but also Daedra and Daedra. Together we can last. Alone we will fall.
__私達の使命は定命の存在とDaedraの関係をより良くする事のみに留まりません。Daedra同士の関係改善もまた使命なのです。この活動は互いの協力があってこそ続くものであり、孤立は失敗を招く事でしょう。
FormID: 03157E1F bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CZerreshju2 5 To get back to your question: If I learn about any daedric being stranded here, I try to imagine how they would cope with their situation. And through that I find them.
__さて、あなたの質問に戻りましょうか。私はこの地に流れ着いたDaedricの存在を感知したとき、「彼らはどのようにして状況に適応しようとしているだろうか？」と想像を膨らませます。だからこそ、私は彼らを見つける事が出来るんですよ。
FormID: 03157E1F bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CZerreshju2 6 Hardest part is getting them to their senses. Most are frightened, paranoid, aggresive. They need to calm down. And then we can take care of them.
__ですが、一番難しいのは心を開いてもらう事ですね。彼らの大半は脅えていたり、神経質になっていたり、攻撃的だったりします。だからこそ、私達の方から手を差し伸べられるのですけれどね。
FormID: 03157E20 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CZerreshju3 0 My kind usually does not seduce in the mortal's way. Or in the way of Velerya and her kind. Usually we just give people something to think. And then they lead themselves on the road that is paved for them.
__私達の種族は人間と同じような手段を用いて誘惑をする事はありません。Veleryaみたいな手段を用いる事も無いですね。大抵の場合、私達は「考えるきっかけ」を与えて定められた道に進む手助けをするだけです。
FormID: 03157E20 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CZerreshju3 1 And we are more tolerant to other people's failings than, say, Golden Saints. That helps, too.
__道を誤ってしまう人もいますが、そういう人達に対する寛容さではGolden Saintよりも勝っていると思いますよ。たぶん。
FormID: 03157E20 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CZerreshju3 2 The name was given to us by others. We are the Mazken. Guardians and philosophers. We don't seduce. We merely nudge.
__そもそもDark Seducerという名前は外から与えられた名前に過ぎず、私達の本当の名前はMazkenなのです。守護者であり哲学者でもある。決して誘惑などしません。気付きを与えているだけです。
FormID: 03157E20 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CZerreshju3 3 Oh, yes. And then there are individuals like Keneriel. Best not to dwell on them.
__まぁ、確かにKenerielみたいなMazkenもいますけれどね…。彼女が私達の典型だとは思って欲しくありません。
FormID: 03157E23 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKara1 0 Depends on the day and my mood.
__時と場合によるな。
FormID: 03157E23 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKara1 1 Tesserayiel knew my presense would endanger the guild. We considered keeping me hidden for some time. And well, we did. Remember, the first advertisements didn't feature me!
__私がこのGuildにとって危険な存在である事はTesserayielも理解している。事実、彼女と合意の上で私という存在が人目に触れぬよう配慮した時期もあった。最初の宣伝任務を覚えているか？例の記事に私の事は取り上げられていなかっただろう？
FormID: 03157E23 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKara1 2 However Tesserayiel's nature hasn't entered public knowledge yet. There may be rumors, but nothing more. They needed a daedric face, without exposing themselves. And there I was!
__とはいえ、あの記事ではTesserayielの正体についても触れられてはいなかったわけだがな。彼女に関する噂こそあったが、それ以上発展する事はなかった。しかし、人々は我々と直接対面する事なくDaedraの素顔を知りたいと望んだ。そして、私の出番が来たというわけだ！
FormID: 03157E23 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKara1 3 No longer a burden, by being a symbol!
__自分がこのGuildの象徴であるからといって、私は何も重荷に感じてなどいないぞ！
FormID: 03157E24 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKara2 0 As you may have noticed, I don't get out much. Probably catch a sunburn out there anyway.
FormID: 03157E24 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKara2 1 That may be the biggest difference between our Daedric and mortal members.
FormID: 03157E24 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKara2 2 No, of course not me staying indoors!
FormID: 03157E24 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKara2 3 I don't really have something like 'time off'. However I also don't really work. If I read, I learn. If I learn, I usually try to learn something relevant for our being here. However if I read, I also enjoy reading and read for my own pleasure.
FormID: 03157E24 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKara2 4 Does that make any sense to you? I sure hope so!
FormID: 03157E22 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKara3 0 I was with her long before she found herself in Mundus. You could say I merely came along with her. I would have preferred to keep me out of the spotlight, but I will not question her visions.
FormID: 03157E22 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKara3 1 She is a strange being. So strong that she dared to face the Camoran Usurper and even Mehrunes Dagon herself, to save a world that would condemn her to the Void without a second thought!
FormID: 03157E22 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKara3 2 And yet hurt by a loss even deeper than the fall of my sisters. She gave me comfort, and so, if she needs me, I give her comfort.
FormID: 03157E22 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKara3 3 Usually, in our home, we lesser Daedra don't sleep. We merely meditate, or let our thoughts drift astray. As Tesserayiel and myself had to sleep, in mundane environments, well.
FormID: 03157E22 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKara3 4 I wouldn't have had the nerve to stand sleeping. I was terrible afraid. And so was she. Today she may not need me anymore, but I will be here for her.
FormID: 03157E22 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKara3 5 Wherever and whenever she may needs me. We are like ships that sail through the night.
FormID: 03158507 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKanaane1 0 Do you think I was one of the Golden Saints guarding treasures, slaying would be Nerevarines?
FormID: 03158507 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKanaane1 1 No, I was not. My talents always lied elsewhere.
FormID: 03158507 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKanaane1 2 I was in Morrowind. Not on a stress relieve holidays as were many of my comrades. Lord Sheogorath tasked me to find out what Azura had planned, and how the ALMSIVI cult would react.
FormID: 03158507 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKanaane1 3 That was a diplomatic mission. Like Tesserayiel before I assumed the role of an Altmer. Which is a lot more dangerous in Morrowind than in any other province, because they know how we Aureal look.
FormID: 03158507 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKanaane1 4 Needless to say while I had found out Azura's plans, I was unable to do something about them. So I merely tried to prevent further damage.
FormID: 03158507 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKanaane1 5 The heart of Lorkhan was freed, Dagoth Ur and the false gods destroyed. Yet that also caused my cave to collapse. Bad luck.
FormID: 03158507 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKanaane1 6 I must confess, I worked with the Telvannis. The only great house tolerating beings like myself. It was about the Blight. Dagoth Ur may had been gone, but his plagues were still out there.
FormID: 03158507 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKanaane1 7 And so I was mixing up potions, minding my own business, when a boulder dashed down and shattered my skull. Back to the Void. What a waste.
FormID: 03158507 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKanaane1 8 Did you happen to know if the Kwama Queen got cured? Oh, erm, nevermind.
FormID: 03158508 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKanaane2 0 Of course.
FormID: 03158508 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKanaane2 1 Unknown to many there are mortals on the Shivering Isles. Every Aureal has to deal with them. Can't go around slaughtering Our Lord's second favorite subjects.
FormID: 03158508 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKanaane2 2 Considering that I always was more social than, say, Staada, it always fell to me to deal with the current ruler of Mania.
FormID: 03158508 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKanaane2 3 Being in the Stranded Light has its perks. Some things I don't have to go through anymore.
FormID: 03158509 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKanaane3 0 An evil question! Even if you may not understand why.
FormID: 03158509 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKanaane3 1 We meditate. We drift along. But we do not sleep. Sleep to us is the closest thing to mortal's death we know.
FormID: 03158509 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKanaane3 2 However once we lost Our Lords favor, once we lost the Magicka of our home, we began to feel hunger. And tiredness. Our bodies voiced their needs to be sustained. Quite a big change for all of us.
FormID: 03158509 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKanaane3 3 My first dreams were nightmares. Memories of the Void. Being lost in a black sea, without light, without sound. Without smell, without taste.
FormID: 03158509 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKanaane3 4 It took me some time to gain back some meditative qualities of my rest; to dream, and not experience old memories again.
FormID: 03158509 bgMQ7Secrets bgMQ7CKanaane3 5 Then it dawned on me. We are strangers in this world. Even if we have been here before, we weren't the same as we are now. Through our new limitations we can grow. Change. Expand.
