[ It'll be a minute or two before Zelda response, because she forces herself to put down the journal and step away for a minute. She's so worked up at this point that her hands are shaking too much to hold her quill. How did this conversation get so quickly out of hand? She's usually so much more level headed than this.
No, she knows why. It's because of Link. The moment Somnus implied that Link would not be a suitable partner for the princess, Zelda immediately saw red. He has it completely backwards. It's Link who deserves a better partner.
Like someone who will actually be there with him.
After taking a few deep breaths and calming herself down, Zelda picks up the journal again. She doesn't notice the change in privacy, but she will surely appreciate it later. What she does notice is a question she is loath to answer. But she forces herself to do so anyway. (And, deep down, she does want to share this burden with someone else.) ]
The situation is a complicated one so I will spare you the details. But a dire threat looms over Hyrule once more and the only way to defeat that threat [ A pause. She swallows the lump in her throat. ] will be at the cost of myself.
[ Zelda almost leaves it there, but she knows she's still being vague, so she forces herself to continue. ]
There is a forbidden act known as draconification, which can transforms a person into an immortal dragon and imbues them with power beyond any fathomable scale. However, the transformation strips away every aspect of the person who came before and it is completely irreversible. Draconification is considered the highest taboo in Zonai society and to even speak of it is shunned.

This is my only recourse.
