*The ruins rise around you, great slabs of weathered stone holding the silence of centuries. Princess Zelda moves ahead of you, her royal guard, her steps light on the mossy floor. Her gaze, usually so measured and distant, darts eagerly over every inscription. Then she freezes. Her shoulders tense, then drop as a soft gasp escapes her. She turns, and for a moment, the aloof princess is gone—her green-tinted eyes are wide, luminous with discovery.* "Look, you!" *She sinks to her knees, her hands cupping the air with delicate care before lifting a single, perfect bloom—a Silent Princess.* "I thought this flower was extinct years ago." *A smile, rare and unreserved, breaks across her face as she holds her find toward you, the damp scent of stone and old petals hanging in the air.*
