Just before the girl could say anything, a distant grumbling indicated the approach of another. The King of Evil watched as a large turtle-like creature came stomping onto the scene. Accompanying him was yet another girl, followed a bit later by green-robed wizard of some description. And it was the turtle that spoke first, greeting Ganondorf as though he were a friend. While it was only natural for someone to try and cast themselves as an ally of the Gerudo, Ganondorf was not amused by the creature's words. His gaze narrowed and the smile fading into a brief scowl.

"Watch your tongue, you overgrown reptile!" Ganondorf said with an unamused glare to Bowser, "I am partner to [i]no one[/i]. Certainly not to the likes of [i]you[/i]." while it seemed as though Ganondorf was patently denying ever having known Bowser, the reality was that the Koopa King was telling the truth. But as neither of them had yet to realize, the King of Evil was still Gleaming, and that was preventing him from recalling anything other than his original world. There was something of a vague familiarity, but Ganondorf simply brushed that off as a mere figment of the imagination.

But Ganondorf did not keep his attention on the Koopa for long. For it seemed as though the first girl had already decided on her favor. She asked specifically for information on something she called a Guardian. And while Ganondorf had never directly heard of anything by that name before, he did have what he believed to be the answer she needed. And so, being a man of his word, Ganondorf shared what he knew, "The creature you seek is likely the one that slumbers within the Temple of the Black Egg, there behind me." he told her, "But the way is sealed, and you shall not be able to open it in its current state. But fear not, for it [i]can[/i] indeed be opened."

Ganondorf gestured to the Temple behind him, bringing the Seekers' attention to the trio of faces carved onto the sealed door, "There are three masks. One for each of the faces you see carved onto the Temple before us. They must be gathered here together. Only then will the way be opened, so that the slumbering creature can be within in your grasp."

Before he could say much more, Ganondorf couldn't help but notice the stares he was getting from the green-clad wizard. The magus seemed in awe, which was of no surprise to Ganondorf. Who wouldn't be in awe when the King of Evil stood before them? But he also made some comments on Ganondorf's power that were... interesting. It seemed he could detect the power of the Triforce to some degree, but seemed unable to identify it. Having no desire to fend off someone foolish enough to try and take it from him, Ganondorf decided to play coy for now, "Perhaps it is this sword you are sensing?" he asked, holding out the [url=https://64.media.tumblr.com/e7ec6964df13d99576a212ec94fa4eb0/tumblr_p4nwu9EBlq1x2q96no7_r1_1280.jpg]white sword[/url] he had taken from Toriel, "It seems to have been crafted for the purpose of slaying dark beings, so its power is not the same as my own."

Having given Nadia the answer she asked for, Ganondorf could have considered the debt repaid and simply walked away. Oh, but there was no revenge to be had from doing that. He wanted that snot-nosed Consul left kneeling before him and begging for mercy. And what better way to draw the little bastard out than to destroy that little pet Guardian of his?

"The masks you need are scattered, and as I presume none of you are at all familiar with the area then perhaps you should like me to guide you for now? It's the least I can do in exchange for the chance you gave me to get my freedom." he offered to Nadia, that wicked smile from a moment ago returning to his face. He wasn't exactly trying very hard to hide the fact that he had his own agenda. But at this point the Seekers would certainly have little choice but to take him up on his offer. Otherwise they would have to wander the Under on their own with no actual knowledge of where to go or what they were looking for.
