As the samurai and the keybearer argued, it seemed their allies figured out a solution to the problem as their argument was interrupted by a large sneeze that blew each of them back a couple feet. Yoshitsune ran over to see if Midna was ok while Sora ran to the cave, looking at the bear. 

When the bear spoke, both were startled. Yoshitsune readied himself to draw his weapons if he needed, though it seemed he didn't. Sora stood with his mouth hanging open in surprise and confusion. 

For the most part, they stayed away from each other as they followed the party. Yoshitsune chose to stick close to the Twilight Princess as Sora moved up near Big Band. 

As Midna was lighting the lanterns, the oriental warrior stuck to the middle of the path, though never far from his ally. Upon her gathering a treasure of knives, he eyed them himself with curiosity. "They seem to be good weapons," he said, passing her shoulder. 

At some point, the group had lost a few members. Seeing Midna was among the missing, the swordsman looked at the friendship bracelet. He grew concerned at the dull glow but grew more and more relieved when he noticed it glowing brighter, meaning his friend was getting closer. 

Eventually, they reached a stone building, one that looked ancient compared to even the samurai's time. The men inside didn't seem friendly nor did they seem hostile. 

At least, not until one of them actually greeted them. 

"An inner tunnel. Without the wind, I should at least be able to give off some warmth," Yoshitsune replied, drawing his fire blades. 

Sora, in curiosity, looked at the other Greybeards. "Can they talk?" he asked Arngeir. 

"They lost their normal voices long ago to the Thu'um," Arngeir replied. "They can only shout now. Even a whisper in the Thu'um can be deadly if used accidentally or incorrectly."

"What's the Thu'um?" Sora asked in curiosity. 

"The dragon tongue. They speak and create truth. You speak the word for fire and your next breath becomes flames."

"Can I learn it?"

"I do not doubt that you could, had you the time. I believe you need to join your allies when they travel on. My apologies."

With a shrug, Sora moved to one of the fires, sitting next to Tora and Poppi. Upon hearing their conversation, he looked at Arngeir. "You can ask him. I did. He said something about the Thu'um that I don't really understand."

-------------------------

As the heroes began traveling through the cave, Yoshitsune stuck closer to Midna, not wanting her to get lost again. He held his flaming swords, giving them and wherever else was close enough some heat. 

As they approached the icey bridge, Yoshitsune frowned. Turning to Sectonia, he sheathed his swords and bowed slightly. "My apologies," he began, "but would you be willing to carry me across? I fear my wheels are not good for this path and they would be much too loud for me to try to make this a quick pass."

Sora, on the other hand, just began walking across as if there was no problem. He stayed quiet as he looked at the giant's head, passing right past it, and continued to the opposite side. He waved back once he was safely on the other side.
