[ Whether the malice is only a manifestation of Link's dream or twisted, in part, by nightmare energy, Somnus takes no chances. He steps away from its advance, which, given his height, puts him back about a meter.
As it happens, he recalls that the "cure" for this so-called malice is Zelda's power, and if Link's current nightmare is based on Hyrule's reality (or rather, what Somnus' assumption of it is), then Link will not win this battle without her. However, this is also a dream. So, perhaps, drawing strength from the idea of her being safe will be enough. ]
Steady yourself, O knight. [ Somnus steps to the side of the advancing malice, brushing excess ooze off the heel of his sabaton upon the ground. Stones rattle with the weight of his steps as he strides over, joining Link. ]
