[h2]The Ruins[/h2]
Upon seeing the bow that Link had drawn, one of the skeletons, wholly clad in heavy armor, moved directly towards both him and Suzuka, while another two moved to flank them in turn. The rest of the mob, which had quickly come to the realization that a new threat was upon them, were only barely able to register that the fox-eared girl had already leaped overhead, out of reach of their own weapons. A few of them aimed their crossbows towards the air as they tried (in vain) to shoot at her, but by then she had already reached a small opening behind them.

Under the assumption that their assailant was more of an uncannily agile assassin of some foreign origin, the cloaked beings shifted their focus away from raising soldiers; at this point, they had all turned towards the girl who had split herself off from her companion and pointed the palms of both of their hands towards her. The ground nearby began to split, and soon enough a torrent of bony hands began to reach for her, in an attempt to drag her down into the depths.

The armored giants facing against Link, on the other hand, seemed to be working in similar unison, attempting to strike at him in coordinated motions as if they were members of an organized crew of elites well-versed in the art of combat.

It was very possible that that could have been such in the past, but no more.
