Hyrule Adventures 2

Leon finds the woman and new acquaintances.He overhears about the boulder,and says grimly,"Though the Gorons are working hard on it,I heard that even the mightiest Powder Keg could not blow the darned thing out of our way.If only we have something harder than diamonds and stronger than the army,we'd demolish the rock in a flash .Unfortunately,I think the only thing to fit the description is the legendary Megaton Hammer,and one of the Gorons there had said it was stolen.".

"Perhaps the Goriyas stole more than the Mayor's trophies?Maybe they pushed and shoved that boulder into place...but whatever happens,I will put my full force into this hunt for the Hammer,definitely free of charge."Leon ended sharply,as though some new thought popped into his mind.

Rugger thinks to himself and ponders.

"I know what we need to blow up the boulder, but I am not sure where it is anymore."

"Yes, we need the hammer," Darilan agrees with the guy who's name is... Leon?

And if that little bucket of branches gets her to pay ANY price, he will have a price to pay.

Rugger scratches his chin for a moment.

"Last time we had a problem with these damn boulders we did not use the hammer, and I am not sure if the hammer will work this time either."

"Well, what did you use? And did it work? I tell you, those minions of Ganon sure like to make history repeat itself."

"We used the Bombos Medallion we aquired from Lord Hylos, a demented and crazy old man. It worked perfectly and allowed us to get to Mido. Before we can even do that though we have to get permission to use the North-South Passage."

"Then it seems we must search or the trophes as hard as we can."Denning turns to Narna"We will find your husband."

"I am wondering if we will have to fight for the trophies. I remember reports back in in the days of the REF about the Goryias guarding them like a child will guard candy."

"Friends, I have had no luck finding the hammer, or Link. I do not know what to do now besides find those trophies. I am sorry, I have failed."

Rugger, arms still crossed inside his robes, shakes his head.

"You did not fail, the Hero Link is very difficult to find and there is no reason to look for him at this moment. First we need to get those trophies back from the Goriyas...again. Once we complete that we can get access to the North-South Pass. That will give us much more land to explore and more answers to our questions."

Leon ponders a moment.Finally,after five minutes' thinking,you thought he came up with an answer."The Hammer...could it be in the Underworld?"he said quickly.

"The Underworld? Why would it be there?"

"Well,a Moblin or a Goriya that's smart enough would know that the Underworld is a good place to hide such a treasure,with all the entrances blocked by either the Knights or un-breakable doors and locks,"Leon replies thoughtfully."Or,"he continued,"maybe it's in a cave?".

Only now did you notice the boulder. That is, the lumpy part of the boulder--on top of the boulder. It half dissolves, half unfolds into a life-size man. If "man" is the correct term for the dim-eyed Sheikah. He sits up on the stone and stares in the general direction of the clamouring group. His earth-toned coat and trousers flap in the wind.

For those who hadn't yet noticed him at this point (not that they could be blamed), they may have turned when he spoke now.

"No." A dry tone in the voice. An awkward pause.
"No, the hammer has proven successful thus far. But I don't think it would be in the underworld, and not likely in the possession of Goriya or Moblin folk." He--Arco, that is--hesitates. This was a lot of words.

Storytelling, they say. He continues.

"Traditionally, we (er)-- the Gorons, sorry. Traditionally, the Gorons find that it's the same types of enemies that misplace The Hammer every time that it is... missing." The speaker clams up, unnerved.

Leon muses for a moment.'Where can a damn Hammer be?'he thought.Finally,he came up with a solution."I think it's in...the Lost Caverns.Didn't that guard there mention something about a magical item or something like that?Must've been hidden in there.There's no other decent place to hide it in,unless you count the Parapa Palace,Ruined Lighthouse,somewhere in the Old South Road,the Midoro Swamp or Moruge Swamp,or past the Old South Road.Unfortunately,the Mayor haven't allowed us into the North-South Passage...damnit!I bet it's some very smart person who took it...maybe a Vire or Goriya?Ah,what the heck,we'll find out sooner or later.The culprit can't hide from us forever!".He shouts victoriously.
