[color=797979]”It is done, then.”[/color] Ganondorf declared, after the Radiance finally appeared to die for good. Of course, that wouldn’t be confirmed until she was fully reduced into a Spirit. He imagined a Guardian’s Spirit would confer a great deal of power to whosoever claimed it. He was tempted for a moment to claim it for himself, but chose not to. That Radiance creature reeked with pure light, and that was not something the Warlord wished to have within himself. And besides, it wasn’t as if Ganondorf wasn’t also becoming more and more powerful in other ways…

[b]Warframe Energy Capacity:[/b] Ganondorf’s Energy Capacity begins at 215. Enemies can drop blue-black energy globs at a rate of 1 per every 5 normal enemies or 1 for every unique enemy. These will restore 50 energy to Ganondorf’s energy capacity upon pickup.

[b]Renewal (Level 1):[/b] Healing waves of energy flow outward from Ganondorf to his allies, regenerating health over time. It costs 25 Energy to activate, plus 2 Energy per second to remain activated. This will increase to 3 per second per ally while allies are actively being healed, plus an additional 1 Energy per second per summoned ally for every summoned ally actively being healed. The channeled field covers a 10 meter radius around the user, and regenerates 10% health every second for allies and 3% health every second for summoned allies. Allies at full health will additionally be cleared of all negative status effects. The field remains active either until Ganondorf runs out of Energy or until he deactivates it himself.[/hider][/center]

Instead it was Queen Sectonia who ended up claiming the Guardian’s spirit. Considering they were both insect-like creatures, it was almost fitting in a way. Regardless, Sectonia’s newfound connection to pure light was something Ganondorf himself would have to be wary of going forward. There was a reason why the warlord had held on to the Holy White Sword all this time despite him never really using it. After all, what better way to prevent it from ever being used against him?

But after all that was finished, the Seekers all found themselves reawakening at the familiar sight of the Black Egg. Nearby, the Hollow Knight knelt… battered and weakened. But before anyone like Ganondorf himself could move to do anything, several white bullets circled around the defeated shadow creature and closed around it, finishing him off. And that was when the weasley Consul finally saw fit to come out of hiding. But now he was scared, sniveling and groveling for his life. Sectonia was the one who moved to question him first. But before she did, Ganondorf took her moment of distraction as an opportunity to request something of her.

[color=797979]”Might I borrow that curious Hat of Avarice, but a moment?”[/color] He asked her. And surprisingly enough, she handed it right to him without a second thought. Perfect. She was currently too distracted by F and her newfound powers to notice or question who it was that was asking for the Hat. Ganondorf inspected the Hat for but a small moment, before putting it on his head in place of his helmet. Then he scooped up the nearby spirit of the Hollow Knight.

[color=797979]”Let us see how well this Hat works…”[/color] Ganondorf said to himself under his breath as he squeezed the Spirit in order to crush it…

[color=797979]”Curious...”[/color] He said, inspecting the dark cloak that he acquired as a result of crushing the Knight’s spirit. It definitely had some kind of charm or enchantment on it, but what that was exactly he’d have to find out for himself. Although perhaps someone like Kamek would be able to identify it? Something he’d have to consider a bit later. For now, the matter at hand was the sniveling Consul who for all intents and purposes was now at their mercy.

Sectonia was asking the questions, all things Ganondorf himself wanted to know as well, so he had no reason to ask any of his own for the time being. The two Orsterrans on the other hand, did speak up. Primrose in particular. She seemed surprisingly content to simply end the Consul’s life here and now, and that it was her thief friend who had to stay her hand. Curious, given their backgrounds one would think the roles would have been reversed.

By now, Ganondorf had put his shadowy helmet back on. He stepped forward to join in on the grilling, handing the Hat of Avarice back to Sectonia as he did so, [color=797979]”Thou had best consider thy answers carefully.”[/color] He advised the groveling Consul. He then drew the White Sword from its scabbard and appeared to be looking it over and inspecting it. Almost certainly, the Consul would have recognized this as the sword that was intended to be used to execute the Warlord, and yet here he stood with it now in his possession. A subtle little reminder of just who it was they were dealing with and that he was not to be trifled with or taken lightly.

[color=797979]”My compatriots here do not appear to be in a very patient mood.”[/color] He added, then pointed the sword’s tip in the Consul’s direction, [color=797979]”And I, even less so.”[/color] At this point Ganondorf’s message was loud and clear. The Consul could either cooperate, or find himself run through by the very sword that was intended to keep its wielder in check.
