The deku you asked had given you directions to the magic tre, and gladly guided you there. However, upon arrival, you saw not a stone, but a man, standing where the gossip stone just was, as it vanished. No voice was heard. The man, draped in brown, turned to you. It was Sosei. "Oh, how are you today?" He asked.

"Goro, Friend, I am fine. How are you, goro?" the lumbering mass inquired. He smiled brightly, but continues before the man had time to respond. "Friend, I have followed many riddles to arrive at this place, along with another human. The riddles have led me to this very spot, and I supposed I would find another of those statues. Have you seen one, goro?" The goron looked around confusedly, hoping to find another of those curious relics.

Sosei closed his eyes as he listened to the tale of Goncogoro. When the goron finished, he opened his eyes. "Yes, I have indeed seen atue of gossip, and have already discerned it's answer. However, I feel I will not be able to go there, as I am not suited, nor prepared. Hows about I tell you the riddle instead? Then you can find the answer?" The mage said, then began to recite:

"The sands of time
flow 'till rot
last forever
in the alter of nought
how many allies
have you got?
The beast, the hero fought."

WHen he had finished the riddle, Sosei bowed his head, and turned to leave for the south.

Azador came out of the darkness of the underworld entrance.
He walked slowly to the goron with a smile, because he already found the answer to the riddle.
"it seems I'm not the only one trying to solve these riddles, maybe we could join forces.... my name is Azador" said the mage while extending a hand to the stranger.

"And if you don't mind, I have already solved this riddle.
you see, it's Parapa palace"
the sands of time is Parapa desert.
And the hero is link who had fought a monster called 'Horsehead' down into that abyss."

OOC bingo! now go there for the final conclusion...

well, later, I have something to do, then i'll post it.

The goron beamed brightly at the one he had seen throughout their travels for these riddles. "Goro! I am Goncorgoro, friend! You have a great ability to solve these riddles, goro! I think it would be wise of us to work together, yes!" The solution made much sense, so the goron decided to go with this human called Azador. He set off in the direction of Parapa desert.
