<font face="5" COLOR="000000">Please understand that our link is a very complex and multilayered issue. I don't want to lecture for hours, so forgive me for telling you everything at once. The one thing important you should keep in mind is that it's a spiritual bond. We Daedra are first of all spirits. We existed before there were bodily manifestations, so we coupled the core of our very beings together. Once our bond is strong enough, it will save our lives. Promise.<br><br>
Why do mortals die and don't come back? Why do Daedra get lost due to a banishment? Mortals die because their body stops functioning, and their body is their only connection to their individual existence. When the body dies, and they're not aligned to a primordial force, the Dreamsleeve rips their souls apart. Daedra are not subject to the Dreamsleeve, but without a guiding light in the void, it's hard to escape it. And let's not start on the Liminal Barrier. It makes matters even more complicated.<br>
<br>
Our bond serves as failsafe. If I get banished, I am able to sense you through the void, and thus I am able to return. The same applies to you. Death and banishment become relative. They lose their horror. Only when we both are banished, the Liminal Barrier will be able to prevent us from returning. Then whenever one of us is stranded at any shore in the waters of Oblivion, the other one can follow. Keep the letter in mind though! Age may not be able to kill you anymore, but until a couple of decades have passed we both will be still very, very vulnerable to banishment. Don't get reckless. It's a failsafe, not invincibility!<br>
<br>
The question you should ask yourself is: "What does our bond means for us in life?"<br>
<br>
Talking about death and banishment, well, it's what it aims to prevent. It can have an impact on our life, too. A good one. As I explained, a part of you now resides in me, and a part of me in you. Try it out! Concentrate. Imagine me. Think about me. And I will know that I'm on your mind. I've got more experience in this arcane knowledge, so it will take you some time to notice it the other way around.<br>
<br>
Concentrate on me! On my eyes. Try to not only see them, but also see through them. See? Sensory information can be shared. I can touch you, and not only feel you, but also feel how you feel me. Makes your head hurt? Well, it should. It is quite complicated.<br>
<br>
<font face="5" COLOR="000000">Imagine a more physical way of bonding. You can feel it twice at the same time. This is something few Daedra and even fewer mortals ever experience. Though I fear for you this will take too much concentration. At least for now. You will learn in due time to access my senses more easily. Our bond acts as a bridge over a border, the border between us. In a way you're not only yourself anymore. Like I'm not only myself anymore.<br>
<br>
No need to be afraid. While the bond allows us to share emotions, feelings, sensory information, you need to have an open mind concentrating to even receive those. If you're wandering through the wilderness, concentrating on your prey, you won't be distracted if I cut my finger. It doesn't work like this. The worst feeling that may come out of it is that of emptiness, if you can no longer reach me when you try. Then I will be already on my way back out of the Void to you. Promise.<br>
<br>
Does this mean, on the other hand, that I can access your mind if you don't want to? This depends. There is no easy answer. You cannot really close your mind, because a part of my soul is now part of yours. The real deciding factor is distance. If you're around the corner I can pretty much witness every sensory experience with you. If you're far away, I can only get the more general feelings you're experiencing - if you're feeling good or ill.<br>
<br>
Thinking out loud: If you have a secret affair with Velerya, you will have problems keeping it secret from me. If you do your things with Karashivuel while I'm here, not so much. I'd probably only feel your life fading if she begins gnawing on your gut. Distance plays a major role. Don't think I would spy on you. I've got no intention of doing so. Nevertheless it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling deep down knowing you're safe. Not only guessing, but KNOWING.<br>
<br>
There is no need to be surprised. I've told you before what our link would mean. A connection of souls and minds means exactly this. We are bound to each other. Look at the Eternal Guardians. Bound to a city no longer existing. They even withstood the ragings of Akatosh's jills. Quite a feat. A whole city erased from time, yet they remained. Immortality cannot be achieved alone. Even if we don't need to procreate like mortals, without others sooner or later we get lost in the void.<br>
<br>
<font face="5" COLOR="000000">The Nocturnals, of which I firstly learned about the technique used to bind us together, understood this very well. And I think both Aureals and Mazken do so, too. As does the Stranded Light. There are exceptions, but they require an exceptional strength of will. These are mostly those Daedra able to create pocket spheres for themselves, blurring the lines between them and the prince's. They are rare and far between though. And easy prey for Princes wanting to expand their territory. Just look at the moons around Mehrunes Dagon. If you ever see them. I heard the hero of the Battlespire did, some time ago.<br>
<br>
I am no such exception. I don't even want to try gathering creatia to create my own pocket in the void. When serving a Prince, the Prince grants you the necessary means to escape the void. Here on Mundus we don't have this luxury anymore. That's why the bond was also very important for me. Of course it will also help you. We both profit from it. Understand: It was in our mutual interest creating this bond.<br>
<br>
Don't misunderstand me. This does not mean that I was interested in creating this bond. I wanted to save you from the dangers of this world. Creating a mean for you to return to me, should you get lost. Which will happen, that is certain. In each fight you need to avoid all blows and spells dealing mortal dangers. Your opponents need to succeed only once. And as the hero you are, you will always be a target. I couldn't stomach the thought of losing you. That's why I've suggested our bond. To know you safe if luck turns eventually to your enemies' favor.<br>
<br>
It is a sacred act. A very personal one, too. I'd rather spend an eternity in the void before creating a similar bond with the like of Karashivuel or Quurunae. Not even with most Nocturnals I lived with in Shade Perilous. Even though I benefit from our link, you're the one I was concerned about. It was about saving you. And at the same time it's also helping me. True. I won't deny it. Understand and know that you're very important for me. You're the one I can imagine spending the years to come with. And I wanted to preserve your existence on this world.<br>
<br>
So what is our bond, then? It's a connection between our spirits, to preserve our existence in this world. It allows us to share perceptions and feelings without words, depending on distance. So, uhm, I'm not sure what else to tell. It was already a lot, don't you think? Maybe a personal word at last: I'm not regretting creating this bond between us.<br>

<font face="5" COLOR="000000">私たちの繋がりとは非常に複雑で多層的な問題であると理解してね。何時間も講義なんてしたくないから申し訳ないけど、一度に全てを教えることにするよ。必ず覚えておくべき大事なことを一つ。それは霊的な結束であるということ。私たちDaedraはまず第一に、霊的存在だから。形あるものとして顕現する前に存在するものだから、私たちはまさしく私たちであるその核を一緒に結びつけるんだ。一度私たちの結束が十分に強くなるなら、命を救うものになるんだ。断言するよ。<br><br>
何故定命の者が死んだら戻ってこないのか? 何故Daedraは追放の際に迷うのか? 定命の者は肉体の機能が停止するため死に至る、つまり彼らの肉体が自分の存在へ繋がる唯一つのもの。肉体が死に至っても、原初の力に結ばれていないため、Dreamsleeveは魂を引き裂いてしまう。DaedraはDreamsleeveの影響下にはないけれど、虚無に導きの光なくしてはそこから逃れるのは難しい。Liminal Barrierのことについてはやめておこう。問題がもっと複雑になってしまうから。<br>
<br>
私たちの結束の奉仕は安全を二重に守るもの。もし私が追放されたら、虚無の中であなたを感じることができるし、だから戻ってくることができる。あなたも同じように。死と追放は相対的なものになる。彼らは恐怖を失う。私たち二人が追放される時だけ、Liminal Barrierは私たちが戻ってくるのを防ぐことができる。それから、私たちの一人がOblivionの海のどの海岸に流れ着いても、いつでも他の人は追いかけることができる。だけど手紙のことを覚えていて! 歳月はあなたのことを殺すことができない場合があるけれど、数十年が過ぎるまで、私たちは二人ともとても、とっても追放されやすくなる。早まったことはしないで。それは二重に安全を守るもので、壊れないものではないのだから!<br>
<br>
あなたが自分に聞くべき問題とはね:「生きている間、私たちの結束は何を意味するのか?」<br>
<br>
死と追放について話すことは、そうだね、防止が目的だよ。それも私たちの命に影響を与えることができる。良い意味でね。説明したとおり、あなたの一部は私の中に、そして私の一部はあなたの中にある。やってみればいいよ! 集中してみて。私のことを想像して。私のことを考えて。そうすれば、私はあなたの心の動きを知るだろうから。私のほうがこの魔法的な知識の経験を積んでるんだけど、あなたの方は反対に気付くのに時間がかかるかな。<br>
<br>
私に集中して! 私の目を浮かべて。見るだけじゃなくて、見透かしてみて。ほらね? 五感を共有することができるんだよ。私はあなたに触ることができて、あなたを感じるだけじゃなく、あなたが私を感じることも感じることができるんだ。頭をこんがらがらせちゃった? ええと、そうだろうね。かなり複雑なことだから。<br>
<br>
<font face="5" COLOR="000000">より肉体的な束縛のやり方を想像してみて。あなたは同時に二回それを感じとれるはず。これはほとんどのDaedraも、定命の者はなおさら経験したことがない。私があなたを案じるときも、かなり集中を要するのよね。少なくとも、今のところは。そのうちもっと簡単に私の感覚に繋ぐことを学ぶだろうね。私たちの結束は境界を、私たちを隔てる境界をつなぐ橋のような働きをするよ。ある意味、あなたはもうあなただけのものじゃない。私がもう私だけのものではないようにね。<br>
<br>
怖がらなくてもいいよ。感性、感情、感覚の情報を共有するけれど、受信するときでさえも心を開いて集中していなきゃいけないから。あなたが広野をぶらぶらしてて、餌食に集中していたとしたら、私が指を切ってしまったとしてもわずらわされることはないよ。こういうようにはならないの。一番嫌な感情は空虚から至るもの。私に繋がろうとやってみてもできない時ね。その時は、私は虚無からあなたのところに戻ってくる途中のはずだから。約束するよ。<br>
<br>
それじゃあ、あなたが自分の心に接続して欲しくない時も私ができるのかって? 場合によりけり。うまく答えられないね。私の魂の一部はもうあなたの一部だから、本当の意味で心を閉じることはできないよ。決め手は距離。角を曲がったところにいるようなすぐ近くにいれば、あなたの感覚的な経験をつぶさにほとんど目にすることができる。遠く離れていれば、経験していることに対しての大まかな感情――好悪といったものを感じ取ることができるだけ。<br>
<br>
あけすけに言えばね: Veleryaと密かな情事に溺れたとして、私から秘密にしておけるのかという問題を抱えるんだよ。私がここにいて、そんなに離れずにKarashivuelとあなたが何かあったとするでしょ。彼女があなたのはらわたをむさぼり始めたら、私はあなたの命が消えかけていくと多分感じると思う。距離が肝心なの。見張っているだなんて思わないで。そんなつもりじゃないから。でも、あなたが無事だと知っていれば心の底ではほんわかと温かくなるんだよ。推測してるだけじゃなくて、「知って」いるんだ。<br>
<br>
驚くようなことじゃない。さっき私たちの繋がりとはどのようなものを意味するのか話しただろう。魂と心の接続とは、正確にはこれを差す。私たちは、お互いの束縛を受ける。Eternal Guardianたちを見るといい。最早存在しない街に縛り付けられた。彼女たちはAkatoshのJillたちの猛威にすら耐えたよ。すごい技だろう。都市全てが時間から削除されても、彼女たちは残った。不死は一人じゃ成し遂げられない。定命の者みたいに子をもうける必要はないとしても、遅かれ早かれ、私たちは虚無に迷う。<br>
<br>
<font face="5" COLOR="000000">ノクターナルの僕、私たちを結び付けた技を最初に学んだ者たちは、とても深くこれを理解していた。それに、AurealとMazkenの両方とも同じ事をしていんじゃないかな。Stranded Lightのように。例外はあるけれど、意思が抜きん出て強くないと駄目。そういうDaedraは大体、自分で小さな領域を作ることができて、王子たちと彼らの区切りをあいまいにしている。でも、珍しくてとても稀なことだよ。それに、領域を拡大したがっている王子たちの格好の餌食になる。Mehrunes Dagonの周囲の月を見るといい。もし見たことがあるのならば。かつて、Battlespireの英雄がしたのを聞いたことがあるよ。<br>
<br>
I am no such exception. I don't even want to try gathering creatia to create my own pocket in the void. When serving a Prince, the Prince grants you the necessary means to escape the void. Here on Mundus we don't have this luxury anymore. That's why the bond was also very important for me. Of course it will also help you. We both profit from it.
