For Ganondorf, the Chasm was easily traversed. He still had his Phantom Pet after all. And just like he had done when he descended into Mercy Dreams, he did the same thing here and safely glided down to the bottom of the Chasm. He was in a better mood now that he had a full belly. Those finches and pigeons were a little on the gamey side but not too different from eating pheasant. And if the choice was between that and something bug-related? Well, he’d take the birds every time.

At the bottom of the Chasm they found a silver-armored knight wielding a pickaxe. What kind of a knight would perform such menial tasks rather than have some squire or servant do it for him? Perhaps this particular knight wasn’t as wealthy as his silver armor suggested. And what exactly was a “hellevator” anyway? Something to do with the blocky waterfall? The knight didn’t exactly stick around long enough to answer questions and instead went right back to digging himself further down.

That armored girl with the blocky figure, Makena - whom they encountered above. Something about her struck the warlord as… vaguely familiar. Her physique looked almost identical to the watery zombies he’d fought in the Shrine of Light. And now he began to wonder if she could have told them where to find more of those handy little Ender Pearls. But unfortunately she was already gone now and Ganondorf himself was in no mood to go chasing her down for such information.

[color=797979]”A word of advice,”[/color] he spoke up to the other Seekers once they were all down and gathered, [color=797979]”I fought zombie creatures with the same exact build as that woman who climbed out of here. We may want to be on the lookout for them around here too. And keep your eyes open for any dark green and black pearls. Snatch up any you find, they’ll teleport you to whatever spot you throw them to. Handy for getting through pesky obstacles or reaching places you couldn’t have reached otherwise. Ender Pearls, I believe they’re called.”[/color]

And then of course there was the obvious question about the Guardian. And unfortunately for the Seekers, despite all the time he spent chained to the entrance of the Black Egg, Ganondorf knew nothing of the creature that slumbered within it, [color=797979]”I’m afraid Toriel and Consul P weren’t exactly chatty about that subject. So your guesses are about as good as mine, I’m afraid.”[/color] Ganondorf concluded with a shake of his head, [color=797979]”That quiet little knight seemed to know a great deal, but Goddess only knows where he ran off to.”[/color]

[color=797979]”And one more thing.”[/color] Ganondorf added before the Seekers could disperse, [color=797979]”I found another one of those Flame Clocks the Consuls are fond of in the Castle at Holograd. I didn’t know what it was at the time, but now that that hooded girl has told us of their significance, I thought this might be information worth sharing.”[/color]

After that, Ganondorf went ahead and made sure he was traveling near the two Octopaths. Or Therion at least. The warlord presented the thief with the pair of sickles he’d found in the Shrine of Light, [color=797979]”I found these while I was separated from the group. They’re a little too light weight for my taste, so maybe you can make better use of them.”[/color]
