The Goryia halted, after about 20 leages of running. He looks to his followers, without heavy breathing. "Here it is. " He turned to face forward once again, and grins mischiviously. "Good, good. Master Cobra said to use this tunnel on my way back to the Hall. Only moments from now, you shall meet Him. Ready?"

OOC: Seriously. Look at the picture of the thicket. At the far East end. I'm not saying it a glitch, but I thought I'd may as well use it for something...

kasei followed the goria, never stopping till the thicket...
heh, so who's the big boss, eh?

Raven followed close behind the Goryia making sure not to lose sight of him through the trees that populate this area. Although as he made his way through the trees he had the strangest feeling that he was being watched.

When he made it to the tunnel and heard that they would soon see Master Cobra a feeling of uneasyness came over him. It was probably a coincidence but what if it was the Cobra that he knew from his village. Would he recognise him and if so what would his reaction be.

The Goryia turned to Kasei. There are many 'big bosses'. There is our King, Carakam, and many others, behind Master Cobra's athourity.

He turns to Raven after that. "What is the matter?"

Raven immediately snaps out his succession of thoughts and looks a little startled at having been broken out of them. He looks in the direction of the voice and traces it back to the Goryia. 'Nothing.' he replies quickly. As he looks down at the ground he adds: 'Nothing at all.'

The creature shurgs, and turns away. "I know you willfear Master Cobra when you see him. He has been alive for the past 2000 years. Imfamous in many a tale he is. He has encountered the Hero's ansestors many times... He is very violent... he controls the sea he does. I'm sure you don't want to tease him in any way...

"One of our best soldiers... a Lizalfos, was decapitated because he was playfully teasing Master Cobra... a good friend he was... it's a moral to us all..."

His looked back into the tunnel's mouth. "This tunnel will lead you straight to Him. And the rest of the council. I'm sure he'll like to be seein' you there, Kasei... he's a good friend of that master of yours..." And without a second's delay, he began to walk into the tunnel.

Although Sheikan eyes are well trained, it is quite hard to see in this place. The Goryia lights a lantern, and continues through.

Along the walls are painted many different paintings. There are shapes of Bombs, and Skulls... and Cobras... and many different creatures alike. The more you walk, the more you feel the evil prsents.

You are soon in an area where there are suffering Hylians, and rotting Gorons. "Ah, don't mind them or the smell. They're prisoners of Hyrule. They have dared to defy the King... Carakam... who is higher athourity than Cobra, but all the same, Cobra is the most powerful of us all. Any who optain the Triforce of Power are sure to be our leader. We follow the Power Triforce. If a pathetic Moblin owns it, we follow him. If I optain it, they follow me. But we have learned our lesson... Master Cobra could kill us all with ease... the Power Triforce has taken all good from his heart and mind...

After a leauge of the Prisons, and weeping, and suffering people, you hear the hollering of men... Humans, but the sound of it... and Hylians. When you see what it is, you eye Goryia and some other unknown monster fusing armor to the man's skin with blazing lava, and a Wizzorbe stands at his head, murmuring some damned words of the Infernal Language, and his hand is over his head. "Those are the darknuts. Prisoners will soon become one of them. Cruel it is... just how we like it . The Horseheads are made by fusing Armor to a Hylian or Human, or anything else, and then fusing their horse's head onto it's. We create their new brain. Tholnuts the same... or Helmetheads, as you people call them..."

*heh, this is basically the same way we make our army*kasei thinks as he sees the darknut transformation. *hmmm, if we somehow take control of the darknuts, then our armies will be invincible! not to mention our captives in our bases...*

so, how many darknuts are there?

Raven absorbs all this infromation ans tries to make sense of it. Master Cobra at one time obtained the Triforce of Power and with its power, he has lived 2000 years. So it can't be the same guy that he knew. He casually glanced over the scenes unfolding around him, the melding of man and metal but he was more interested in reaching the other side of the tunnel to meet, this, Cobra.

"We lost count after we got 500..."

"And of course that's how you make soldiers!" the Goryia said, as though reading his mind. "Your Master is one of our commanders. Don't dare to take control! Master Cobra and Heru Carakam will be most displease... since both of our armies are allianced. And besides, they only obey those who own the triforce of Power. Link once owned the Triforce. I was the one who put his cloak on him in Parapa*. But he lost it there. Ganon got it back shortly after.

OOC: * I'm refering to the April Issue of the Zelda Valiant Comics.

IC: After a while, he pointed out a new room. He stopped walking for a moment to watch as some Moblin and Goryia begin to fuse a new kind of Darknut. He explains, "These are the most powerful of all Darknuts... the Iron Knuckle..." The Iron Knuckle here, when he was completely fused, grabbed the two nearest people, two Moblins, and were strangled, but didn't die before he snapped their heads off. There were only 5 of them. "So few must be made, for only the mindless are resistale. If they all worked together, they could defeat a good tenth of the army, if there were too many..." He continues on. Finally, he says, "Yeeeesss.... this way... we are
