Maybe it was one of his recently acquired spirits, but F’s escape didn’t enrage Ganondorf as much as one might expect. At least not [i]outwardly[/i] anyway. Of course, some of the new information that F leaked went a long way to temper the Warlord’s rage. Because if nothing else, it gave him an idea for a strategy on how to crush all the Consuls. So F’s time would come soon enough. For now, Ganondorf decided his attention was best directed at the [i]Flame Clocks[/i].

By this time the Koopa Troop had blundered into a tunnel they were digging for themselves. Wherever that led to, Ganondorf was certain it would be a waste of his time. But they weren’t the only ones splitting off from the group. The director, Jesse, was taking her leave. Only for her it was a permanent leave. Well, it was always a pity to lose a useful ally, but Ganondorf had no intention of trying to stop her from leaving. What she did with her life was her own business.

It was Primrose who finally said something that piqued the Gerudo’s interest. Well, multiple things actually. Firstly was her mention of yet another King, who seemed to have useful he had yet to share, which of course meant that Ganondorf wanted to hear it for himself. But then there was the second thing she mentioned.

[color=797979]”[i]Gerudo[/i] Town?”[/color] he suddenly said, [color=797979]”Thou mean to tell me that there is a contingent of Gerudo living in this world?”[/color] he demanded. For being a Gerudo himself, one might think he’d be happy to hear about a settlement consisting of his kinsfolk, [color=797979]”Good. I was wondering where I would eventually staketh my claim in this world. But it seems it hath already been done [i]for[/i] me.”[/color]

None of them had been aware of his being a Gerudo, except possibly for Bowser who was currently not present. [color=797979]”I, too, am a Gerudo if thou art curious.”[/color] Ganondorf clarified, [color=797979]”They are not quite the female-only race that thou hath likely been led to believe they are. One male is born every hundred years or so, and the rule of the tribe is fated to be his alone. But of course, so long as I continue to live, there shalt be no other Gerudo men born to the tribe.”[/color]

He then gave a look to Primrose, [color=797979]”But I wish not to tarry here. Come! Let us see this king thou speaketh of. I would hear what he has to say as well. And mayhaps you could also taketh me to Gerudo Town, as well? For too long hath I been without my throne and my subjects.”[/color]
