TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE

There have been a lot of riftfarers arriving lately. It seems like there have been more arriving than usual. So many different kinds of people from different kinds of worlds with stories to tell and experiences to give.

A little game has appeared on the shellphone network in hopes of getting to know just a little more about these otherworlders. You might find it on your shellphone as you’re scrolling through one day.

Tell the world two truths and one lie about yourself. And let others try and decipher which of the three is your lie. If they can guess right, perhaps you’ve been able to make a new acquaintance. Or in the least learn more about someone from another walk of life.

[ As a scientist herself, Zelda is mostly able to follow what Eric is talking about regarding genetics. Except for one thing that keeps popping up. ]

Forgive me, I am a little confused. What do you mean by "concepts?" I thought we were discussing the genetics of living organisms.

[ The way he uses the word 'creation' also sticks out at her, but one question at a time. ]

Well, to be perfectly honest, we don't know exactly why the kingdom of Hyrule was originally established as a monarchy rather than some other form of government. But it was the strength and compassion of its first King and Queen that legitimized their authority as leaders of the people, and which drew other autonomous nations into the fold as allies. After they died, one of their children ascended the throne, and so on and so forth throughout the generations. The annals of history tell us that Hyrule's Kings and Queens were often regarded as fair and just rulers, which is why the legitimate right to rule has remained with our family for all this time.

I think I understand.

[The people established a bond of trust with the initial rulers, and those bonds were transferred unto their offspring so long as they also displayed similar characteristics? If they held similar temperaments and were efficient in the position, it makes sense that others of the family would end up in the same position. Mayhap it had simply become habit over time...?]

And to answer your question, concepts are conceptual designs--an idealized archetype. They can be of a lifeform, or an object. In this case, the concepts are of living beings. Though we can't create a soul, we can design an organism down to its very genetic structure, and using our aether or drawing upon aether from another source, weave that design into the very fabric of existence. We engender them into being, and they walk, swim, fly, eat, breathe, communicate, reproduce, and so on.

We are creators. To create is our nature.
