It didn’t take long for Ganondorf to set about looking around the town on his own. He was more interested in making progress toward hunting down Baldur than anything else, but he supposed a brief little time taking in the crisp winter air wouldn’t be terrible, either. The town was almost… picturesque in its peacefulness. That made it a rather striking juxtaposition to the dark warlord that now walked its streets.

Ice and snow crunched under Ganondorf’s boots as his eyes scanned the buildings and noted shops or other places of business. But during that scan, he spotted the quaint Christmas Tree that acted as a sort of centerpiece to the quiet snowy town. But in moments the Gerudo’s eyes narrowed as he spotted something underneath among the wrapped presents.

[color=797979]”It can’t be-”[/color] Ganondorf muttered to himself as he walked closer. Sure enough, there was a flame clock of all things under the tree! This one, however, was much smaller than the other flame clocks he had seen. It was also near empty, indicating it was either recently used or perhaps was simply ignored by whatever Consul governed this region. Like always, the clock was stuck to where it was sitting, as though built into the ground. That was nothing new to Ganondorf, but the clock’s smaller size was certainly interesting. Perhaps that was merely a testament to the lower population of this town compared to other places? Unbeknown to him, Sectonia had been here examining this clock mere minutes ago before him.

The clock wasn’t the only object here. Boxes wrapped in colorful paper and ribbons were also placed under the tree. Whether this was some kind of ritual or offering, the Gerudo didn’t know. But his curiosity got the better of him and he opened one of the boxes up. Inside he a found a box with a label that read “blueberry muffin” mix in addition to a set of instructions that explained how to prepare them. Not exactly the kind of spoils Ganondorf was usually interested in. Still, his current form required him to be much more mindful about having food available to him to eat, so maybe this could prove useful anyway? He went ahead and kept the muffin mix. He recalled the Avenger running low on stocks anyway so if nothing else he could always hand this over as a donation.

[color=797979]”Hmm, that’s one more clock noted.”[/color] He mused to himself as he stood back upright again. Holograd Castle, City of Tears, Gerudo Town, Edinbourgh, and now here. He had to be sure and remember where they were all located. It was very likely that Sandalphon was already keeping some kind of record about the flame clock locations in whatever network or database her magic computer screens were connected to. And knowing the archangel, she probably also noted this flame clock as well.

And as soon as they properly had the means to do it, they could return to each of these flame clocks and destroy them one by one.

Ganondorf’s cloak billowed behind him as he walked to catch up with the rest of the Seekers. They managed to set up a wagon being pulled by some of Edward’s golems. But it also looked like a rather slow ride, enough that even the warlord was able to catch back up and keep pace with everyone after his momentary distraction in Snowdin.

[color=797979]”I found a flame clock back in town.”[/color] He announced to no one in particular. [color=797979]”A small one at the center of town, underneath that decorated tree. For anyone who’s been keeping note of them besides me.”[/color]
