I was playing The Legend of Zelda, the Ocarina of Time, and the great deku tree says 「今{いま}、ハイラルはその力{ちから}に飲{の}み込{こ}まれようとしておる。。。」, which as far as I can tell means "Right now, Hyrule is being swallowed up by this power." It seems, however, to be worded as though it meant "Right now, Hyrule is trying to be swallowed up by this power" because it uses 「ようとして」, which I've been told means that somebody is trying to do the verb in question.
Who is trying to do what in this scenario/why is it worded this way?
