Not only did the last fight against Puzz not do anything to help with his soreness, but at the weaker monsters' words he felt a sense of remorse trying to crawl it's way back to surface. Stay calm. Ignore them. The boy lagged behind to make sure everyone else left the room, not willing to fight the small army, no matter how strong they were. But even then, it was as if the Knight knew their way around the place. A sense of familiarity guiding them to their intended destination. The small creature appeared in the temple just as Ganondorf explained what he knew about the black egg. Soon as the dark king finished talking, they quietly walked up to Ganondorf. Though they seemed a little hesitant in being near the white sword he held. They just [i]knew[/i] the blasted thing belonged to the light. They stared up at him. Thinking. And here was yet another pair of eyes staring at him. A small little warrior, carrying a simple blade and clad entirely in a black cloak. His gaze looked rather empty with the way his white helmet was designed, with it's black hollowed-out holes for eyes. For most people this would probably seem unnerving. For the King of Evil, the little creature reminded him of the Stalchildren that haunted the lands of Hyrule Field after sundown, or of the ghostly Poes that haunted Kakariko Graveyard. Other than the hesitance they showed around the white sword, Ganondorf could sense no fear in this individual, "Are you not frightened?" he asked them, plainy. The Gerudo crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes into a scrutinizing gaze, "You seem to possess a great deal of courage for one so small as you." the more the King of Evil looked this little warrior over, the more they reminded him of the boy who opened the Door of Time. That boy who similarly gazed at Ganondorf with no fear in his eyes, even having the courage to draw his pathetic excuse for a sword against him. "So what is it, then?" Ganondorf asked, finally getting to the point. The little knight must have had a reason for showing such interest in him. But why would the Knight be afraid, when their goals seemed to align? With the knowledge the king had perhaps, at the very least, the two could work together as well. They turned their attention towards the Black Egg, walking closer to inspect it. ...How irritating. So they really were back to square one. The knight's gaze moved between the masks that sealed the door. Lurien the Watcher, Herrah the Beast, Monomon the Teacher, They've all been put back to sleep. Their work was undone. The Knight's small form trembled in frustration, and they swung their nail against the Egg. They looked back to Ganondorf, and pointed to the masks, trying to covey that the two could help guide the rest to where the dreamers lay resting. Hopefully they could regain their strength before they faced what awaited inside. Omori didn't stop the Knight from talking with Ganondorf. They seemed to know more than he did, so he stuck close by the others for now. "I see." said the Gerudo. This little knight was very well acquainted with the Black Egg, possibly moreso than Ganondorf himself was, "It seems you have you have your own mission to deal with this egg. You're offering aid to us, then?" well he couldn't blame the knight for approaching Ganondorf over anyone else. Ganondorf was the only one present with any amount of knowledge about the Egg. Well he certainly had his own motivation for drawing out the sleeping Guardian. Perhaps nothing quite as noble as this knight, but they didn't necessarily need to know that. "Yes, given that the masks are scattered, it may become necessary for this group to split up to cover more ground. In such a case having a second guide would certainly be of help." he rubbed his rugged chin thoughtfully, "I see no reason to deny you your request. Very well, we shall both guide this group through the Under." Ganondorf finally said with a nod of agreement. The Knight bowed their head in return. "Answer me one thing, if you will. What knowledge have you about the Consul? The impudent child who claims this as his domain?" The insect rested a hand under their chin, regretfully shaking their head after thinking for a moment. Their knowledge was limited, it seems. "Regrettable." replied Ganondorf. [b][color=dcdcdc]"I don't think any of us know enough about the Consuls yet."[/color][/b] Omori finally spoke up. [b][color=dcdcdc]"We've only ran into three so far, including the kid you're refering to. They've all attempted to ambush us one way or another, and they all wear similar suits of armor and masks."[/color][/b] The monochrome boy glanced aside in distain. [b][color=dcdcdc]"Junior and I had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting S up close. Eugh."[/color][/b] This new speaker was a boy who had remained quiet for some time until now. He did not appear to be much of a warrior, but looks could often be deceiving, "It's of no consequence. The child I refer to is just that, a child. He never once had the courage to come see me up close. Instead he kept his distance, and sent his little minions to pester me instead. Quite the coward, I say." [b][color=dcdcdc]"Sounds annoying."[/color][/b] Omori agreed. [b][color=dcdcdc]"Should we get going, then?"[/color][/b] Ganondorf crossed his arms and nodded, "Yes. As soon as you gather all of your people, we shall leave immediately."
