"This is the Yiga Clan Hideout?" Zelda asked as she and Link traversed through the sand. Link nodded, glancing up at the small flag linings that hung from the tall, rocky walls of the canyon they walked through. The afternoon sunlight shined from the tops of the cliffs as a gentle breeze blew through the chasm, causing the Yiga branded fabrics to wave on the boulders that littered the sandy pathway up to the hideout entrance. The girl wanted nothing more but to enjoy the marvelous site of the ravine-like landscape, however an overwhelming weight in her chest had begun to grow with each passing step as she noticed Link hadn't answered her earlier question.
"Are you sure it's... safe?" Zelda attempted to ask as they continued up the pathway. Link once again hadn't answered immediately, still entranced by the flags above as he seemed incredibly lost in his own thoughts. The girl's eyebrows furrowed as her chest grew even heavier. "Link?"
"Huh?" he grunted, looking down into the worried green irises that starred up into his blue ones. He stared down for a moment before shaking his head, collecting his thoughts before refocusing on the path ahead. "Yeah. Yeah, we'll be fine, don't worry, Zel."
"Well that surely gives me confidence," Zelda said, her face filling with disapproval as she now began to study his features. "Link, what's going on?"
"What do you mean?" he responded, tearing his gaze away from the sandy avenue once again to look down into her eyes. Zelda huffed a bit as the frown that had grown on her face became much more prominent.
"Ever since we left our sand seals, you've been ever increasingly in thought," she remarked, instinctively bringing her hand to her head before rubbing the back of it where she had impacted Link's rock hard torso. "It's rare to find you thinking so hard."
"Are you saying I don't think about things?" Link asked as he raised an eyebrow, however Zelda shook her head.
"The opposite in fact," she responded as her face began to calm with her thoughts beginning to fill with her time with Link. "Usually you're very quick to come to a conclusion after a quick analysis of a given situation. It's rare for you to have trouble coming up with some idea about something regarding tasks and trials."
"That was surprisingly nice," Link said, who was genuinely expecting to be told he didn't think through most of his decisions. Zelda furrowed her eyebrows once again, returning from her thoughts.
"Did you think I would say something hurtful?" she asked curiously. "What do you take me for?"
"I mean it could have been. Sometimes you always talk about how reckless I can be, or how much I eat, so on and so forth," Link said, folding his arms as he looked up into the sky. Zelda huffed as she puffed out her cheeks.
"Yes, but it's either when you've hurt yourself or I'm teasing you; like you're doing right now!" she called out, gently shoving Link's shoulder as he chuckled from her calling out his bluff.
"You got me, you got me," he said, raising his arms in defeat as a grin grew on his face. However, the grin had lasted only a moment before his thoughtful features returned as he dropped his arms. "Though, to answer your question... it just all seems a bit easy."
"Easy? You mean the trials?" Zelda asked as curiosity began to form on her face once again. Link nodded, returning his gaze to the clouds above.
"Compared to before, a Molduga and a sand seal race isn't all that troublesome. It's actually kinda underwhelming if I'm allowed to be blunt," Link explained. "It just makes me wonder what comes after this..."
Zelda watched Link continue to think in silence as the Yiga Hideout entrance became visible just ahead. Noticing the entrance before she could respond to the knight's questions, she began to slow as a hand raised to her chest. Link, sensing Zelda's disappearance from his side, looked around before spotting her standing a few steps behind him. Her gaze was stuck on the entrance of the hideout, where two tall individuals stood guard. She had begun to take a step back, however a gentle touch appeared on her shoulder. She looked down at the touch before looking up to see Link's blue eyes staring down into hers.
"Sorry," he said with a gentle smile. "I should have given you a better answer before. Everything will be fine when we go in there. I've already come here once and the Gerudo and I took care of the Yiga. All we have to do is go into the base and find wherever this orb is in the hideout. It should be a piece of cake with the Gerudo under control here. You have nothing to worry about. I wouldn't let anything happen to you. You remember last time we were in the desert together, right?"
Zelda stared into the blue irises, remembering back to when Link had jumped to her rescue against the three Yiga that attacked her way back when. A small smile formed on her face as she nodded, confidence in her safety regaining as she stared towards the base once again. She couldn't help but wish for just a bit more solace in her newfound comfort, however the girl took a deep breath before nodding, signaling she was ready.
"I'm ready," Zelda said. Link returned the smile, removing his hand from her shoulder before beginning to walk forward once again.
"Why if it isn't Link! Sav'aaq, " a hearty voice called out to them as they closed in on the entrance. Link smiled, focusing in on the pale skinned Gerudo who stood guard at the rocky entrance of the hideout, her gold sword and shield behind her lower back as her large red ponytail swayed a bit in the canyon breeze.
"Sav'aaq, Teake!" Link called out, waving with his free hand as they walked up. The two warriors clasped hands in greetings before Teake's glance found its way onto the girl standing closely at the voe's side.
"Is this the little Hylian princess you told us about a while ago?" Teak asked, bending down slightly. The blonde put her hands together, bowing slightly in greeting.
"Vasaaq," greeted Zelda politely. "I am the princess, though I've chosen to simply go by Zelda. It's nice to meet you."
"A respectful little vai I see," Teake said, raising back up as she folded her arms. "It is good to meet you, Zelda."
"I learned from Chief Urbosa your customs long ago," Zelda said with a smile as she raised from her bow. Teake nodded in acceptance before turning to Link once again.
"Have you come to check on the hideouts' securities?" the Gerudo asked. "You haven't been here at the hideout since the raid, though I assure you we Gerudo are more than capable of keeping these Yiga under control, especially now that Malice no longer runs in their veins."
"I have no doubt your people can handle that," Link said, waving off the accusation. "I'm actually here for other reasons. Have you guys seen any orange glowing orb around the hideout?"
"Surprising you ask that, little voe," Teake said, bringing a finger up to her chin. "In fact there is. It's currently sitting in this elevated, wooden storage room they have. That along with a roomful of bananas."
"That's exactly what I'm looking for. I need that to complete a trial," Link said, however Teake raised an eyebrow.
"Trial?" she asked curiously.
"Right... You weren't there with me when I explained to Riju and Buliara," Link said with a chuckle as he brought a hand up to the back of his head. It didn't take long for the Hylian duo to catch Teake up with the details, leaving out the more distrustful events that had taken place in the last few days.
"I don't understand fully, but if this old monk is guiding you towards clearing the Malice from the land for good, then I see the importance," Teake said after taking in the explanation. "But what do you plan to do with the orb once you obtain it?"
"According to the instructions I got from a song a Rito sang to me without actually knowing about the trial..." Link said thoughtfully as he brought a thoughtful finger to his chin. The Gerudo warrior's face filled with confusion before looking towards Zelda, who smiled awkwardly to signal the Gerudo that there simply wasn't a clear explanation she could give.
"I think I just need to throw it in the gigantic hole the Yiga have in the back of the hideout," Link said with a nod. Teake blinked a few times, still trying to process the earlier statement, however she soon shook her head.
"I'm not sure about... most of what you just said," the Gerudo admitted. "However, if you need to get to the back of the hideout, that may be a problem. The Yiga are being detained in the center room where the storage sits next too."
"The one with all the weird concrete walls sticking out the floors?" Link asked. Teake nodded.
"Indeed, that is the one. I believe it might be difficult for you to get the orb through without going through that room," she explained. "We've gated off the rooms, and my guards hold the perimeter, but even opening the gate is a risk."
"Right, I see your point," Link said, his face growing more serious at the realization. Zelda watched as his face contorted into one of a knight. Familiarity filled her heart as Link and Teake continued to plan. Now that it wasn't directed towards her, the knightly Link was certainly a sight to take in...
"I think we should risk it," Link said, snapping Zelda from her thoughts. She blinked a few times, realizing that the knight she had been thinking of was now facing her.
"Oh, I- I'm sorry, Link, I zoned out there for a moment," Zelda said, slightly embarrassed at her loss of focus. "What was that?"
"I think we should risk opening the doors and going through the center of the Yiga base," Link explained a bit more thoroughly. "The Gerudo are keeping the Yiga locked up in the center room of the hideout, ensuring they can't cause the desert or us any more trouble. However, we need to take the orb to the back of the clan's base to drop it in the hole that's back there. I think we should risk opening the doors and going through the room, butI want to know how you feel."
"Me?" Zelda asked, caught off guard by the sudden consideration. Link nodded.
"I know how you feel about the Yiga. It could be stressful," he explained further. "I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable, but I'm not sure if there's any other way. You could wait out here if you want."
Zelda sat for a moment, her eyes now looking towards her sandals as she took in the explanation. She would have to walk through a room full of Yiga Clan members. The weight in her chest returned at the thought, causing the girl to once again bring a hand to her chest. She raised her head, ready to tell Link that she would remain outside, however her eyes once again found themselves staring into the ocean eyes of the knight as confidence burned in them.
I wouldn't let anything happen to you.
"Let's do it," Zelda said after a few moments of silence. "And I'm coming with you."
Link nodded before turning his attention towards Teake. "You heard her. Let's go for it."
The Gerudo warrior nodded, turning to the wall they stood next to as she grabbed a torch that was leaned against it. Teake signaled for the second Gerudo to remain at post before raising a hand for Link and Zelda to follow her through the hideout entrance. Link began to follow Teake as soon as the signal was given, Zelda following after a moment of mental preparation.
Zelda felt the chilly air reach her bones as she shivered slightly, wrapping her arms tightly around herself to try and preserve as much body heat as she could as she nervously examined the dim, candle lit caverns they walked through. Her ears rang with the echoing of their steps bouncing against the walls, as her eyes remained on the dancing shadows of the uneven stone walls that came from Teakes torch as they walked.
"This seems rather... homely," Zelda muttered as they continued through the halls. She looked forward, noticing how the two warriors in front of her walked forward without any shivering whatsoever. Were they not cold? She couldn't help but admire the warrior's sense of control. They truly were in a league of their own.
The walk seemed to take an eternity, which each step Zelda took forward increasing her nerves ever more. Eventually the small confined hallway soon opened up to a much wider room, a second level just below them with a staircase to the left of the room's entrance. Link and Teake had already turned and began walking down to the second level, however Zelda's focus remained on the wooden cell that sat embedded in the wall of the first floor just opposite to her and the entrance she now stood in. She swallowed, imagining the events of a hundred years ago where the Yiga had surrounded her. Is this where they would have taken her if Link hadn't shown up? She then thought back to the Yiga in Tarrey Town, where they suspected her to be exactly who they were looking for. What would they have done to her?
"Zelda?"
Zelda's head turned to look down the steps, her thoughts shattering as she focused in on the Gerudo dressed Hylian that stood in the middle of the staircase. Link furrowed his eyes with concern as Teake stopped at the bottom, turning to see what the holdup was.
"You alright?" Link asked, his unwavering gaze piercing into Zelda's shaky one. The girl looked back towards the wooden bars of the cell before nodding, turning to follow the two warriors down the staircase.
"We can't have you stopping, little vai," Teake said as the two Hylians caught up with her at the second level's floor. "We need you to be alert at all times. If you can't handle this, I will have to ask you to wait for us outdoors."
"I- I'm sorry. I'm fine," Zelda said in a shaky voice. "I'll be okay. I promise."
The two warriors stared at her for a moment, as if wondering if they should believe her words, before turning back to continue their trek down the stony path. Zelda followed, staring down at her sandals as they continued down the much wider room into the next hallway. What was she doing slowing them down like this? Did she always have to be a problem for someone? Before she could allow her thoughts to take over entirely, she felt a warmth cover one of her freezing hands. She turned her attention to the warmth, seeing another hand wrapped around it. She looked up at the hand owner's face, however he still stood focused and at the ready as they continued to walk. The girl internally sighed, doing her best to put her worries behind her as she allowed Link's hand to guide her through the walkways.
"The orb you seek is just up that ladder," Teake said after a few more minutes of walking, coming to a stop. Just ahead at the end of the thinning hallway stood a very thin wall, with a ladder climbing up its side. "Up that ladder is the storage room they use. It should be sitting on a table. When you get it, bring it down and we'll go through this gated door."
The warrior placed her hand on a makeshift, wooden barred door that stood in the wall next to them. Link nodded, turning his attention to the ladder. He began to walk towards it, pulling Zelda along who willingly followed suit. The two climbed up the latter, pulling themselves up before being greeted by a long wooden hallway. Each side of the hallway had open spaces, only being filled in with a wooden beam every few feet, however one side of the walls were completely covered by stone. The other side had an open view that looked down into the room Teake had mentioned the Yiga were being imprisoned. The two walked to the open wall, looking down upon the Yiga Clan members.
"Look at them all..." Zelda muttered as they stared down. There below them the Yiga sat, all tied up and sitting around the room. Most sat against the walls, while others sat in other places such as the concrete ledges and against the room's large middle column. "They seem so... quiet?"
"Not much they can do when the Gerudo are at every entrance," Link stated, pointing towards the room's exits. Sure enough, there stood a Gerudo at the ready, holding a golden spear or a scimitar. Another Gerudo seemed to be pacing around the room, ensuring no Yiga was trying anything funny just as the Blademasters once did before. "I think we'll be okay taking the orb through. Speaking of which..."
Link turned, staring down the hall before seeing the open entrance to the storage room. A distance away, he could just make out the orange glow of the Sheikah orb they needed. "Looks like it's down there. Let's go."
The two made their way down the hallway, Zelda trying her utmost not to stare too much at the view down below, before they reached the storage room.
"There's so many bananas..." she said as she looked around the room. Each wall and desk seemed to be covered with bundles of the yellow fruit, each carefully organized and stacked as if they were precious gemstones.
"Yeah, weird obsession they have with them," she heard Link say coolly. She turned to see Link standing before a table where a large stone-like orb sat peacefully, a large orange glowing ring etched into it.
"This is the Sheikah orb?" Zelda asked, making her way to the same table Link stood in front of. The knight nodded, inspecting the edges of the table as if ensuring the orb wasn't trip wired in anyway. Seemingly confident there wasn't the knight simply placed his hands on both sides of the orb and lifted it above his head, surprising Zelda with how easy he made it seem.
"Okay, just need to get this to the outside and throw it down the hole," Link said, beginning to carry the orb towards the exit of the room. "Honestly, this is a lot easier than it could have been. If the Gerudo and I hadn't taken the base over, this would have been much harder."
"What would you have done if you hadn't?" Zelda wondered out loud, following behind Link back down the wooden hallway.
"I would've had to creep through and do my best not to be seen," Link said simply. Zelda blinked, unsure she had heard his tone right.
"Would you have been able to do it? Honestly speaking," she asked, glancing up at the large orb over his head. Link couldn't help but grin.
"Absolutely," he answered. The two continued back down the reinforced wooden hallway, reaching the top of the latter to climb down. After a brief conversation promising Zelda that it would be completely fine, Link threw the orb down the latter before they followed suit, arriving back down to the bottom of the hallway Teake had remained in.
"I see you got what you were looking for," Teake said once the two became within hearing distance. "Do you have everything you need?"
"I believe so," Link said confidently, once again holding the orb in the air. He turned, examining Zelda's features, who nodded in agreement.
"Then let us begin the true challenge," the Gerudo captain said, using her knuckles to rap the wooden bars of the makeshift door. After a few moments of silence, a tall dark skinned Gerudo could be seen looking through the visible areas of the door.
"Identify yourselves," the guard said sternly, unwavering even at the sight of her captain.
"Captain Teake of the Gerudo Guard, along with Hylian Champion Link and a special Hylian guest," Teake said, matching the guard's sternness. "We need to get through the room to the courtyard in the back."
"Verification word?" the guard asked, now moving her eyes between the three individuals.
"Vehvi Vure," Teake said simply. The guard continued to eye the visitors before disappearing from visibility. After a moment of silence, the wooden door creaked open, allowing the three visitors to enter. "Thank you, Bertri," Teake thanked as they stepped through the door. The door closed just as soon as the three entered, however, the guard quickly pointed her Gerudo spear towards Zelda with the same stern face as before.
"I recognize you and the voe, Teake," the guard named Bertri said. "However I do not recognize this little vai."
Zelda instinctively raised her hands in surrender, looking between Link and Teake for assistance. The two warriors remained calm, however Zelda could barely make out a hint of disapproval in the Hylian knights features as he continued to hold the orb above his head. She knew that any trace of breaking the knight's facade was a feat of its own, however the fact that Link didn't move signaled her to stay still and allow the events to take its course. Teake calmly eyed the spear that Bertri held at the Hylians chest before raising a hand.
"This is the Hylian girl Link was desperate to protect," Teake said calmly but firmly. "I have given you the verification. She is safe."
"You are sure?" Bertri asked once more, her stance unwavering. "You know the Yiga are known to take different appearances."
"If there was a Yiga spy amidst us, I'm confident our little voe here would have taken notice immediately," Teake said with confidence. Bertri glanced over at Link, contemplating whether to believe them or not before finally retracting her spear from Zelda's chest. The hylian girl sighed with relief as she dropped her arms, placing one hand to her chest in an attempt to control her now furiously beating heart.
"Forgive my hesitance," Bertri said, returning to her usual stance with the spear at her side. "Yiga are slippery, vile people. They will play whatever mind tricks to get what they need, or manipulate anyone to get free. It's been a challenge keeping them all in line."
"Have any of them admitted to any Yiga being unaccounted for?" Teake asked as the now group of four began to walk through the room. Zelda and Link's ears perked up, listening to the Gerudo's conversation.
"They say they are all here, but those unnerving laughs have us believing otherwise," Bertir said as they walked past the individual stone walls that littered the center room. Zelda looked around, eyeing the multiple Yiga that sat against the walls as she stayed fairly close to Link. One, though, had caught her attention; a pudgy Yiga with an eccentric headdress sat in one of the corners, hands and feet tied together. Unfortunately, she had caught his attention as well.
"Well, look who it is!" the Yiga called out, somehow jumping to his tied feet before floating towards them. The Gerudo in the room quickly advanced as the Yiga got closer to the Hylian girl. The sound of the orb could be heard dropping to the floor before Link, Teake, Bertri and a few other warriors were in front of Zelda, weapons drawn. Zelda looked around as the warriors surrounded her before awkwardly pulling out the Moonlit Scimitar Link had given her the morning before.
"Why, you all are all so... boring!" the Yiga said, now bouncing around in the air. "What's the point in being a nemesis if I can't give my own evil speeches about bringing down the Hylian throne? Don't you people know how to have fun? Especially you. I would have expected you to let me talk for a moment... Champion."
"Save it, Kohga," Link said, the Master Sword pointed upwards towards the floating Yiga leader. "I'm surprised they allowed you out of that big hole."
"The hole you keep throwing me down, mind you! I take back what I said, you don't know what it means to have an arch nemesis either!" Kohga shouted angrily, bouncing around in the air as he kicked his tied feet. Zelda could have sworn she saw puffs of air appearing over his head.
"Kohga?" she asked as she watched him bounce around, still holding her sword close. "You mean the leader of the Yiga? But... but he was the leader a hundred years ago. How could he still be so...?"
"Dashingly handsome? In amazing shape? Superb agility?" Kohga said in his high pitched, raspy voice as he now calmly floated in the air. "Sorry, but I can't go giving away my daily morning routine to just anybody... However yours seem to be almost as good as mine! A hundred years seems to have done you well, Princess Zelda... though again, not as good as mine of course," he added on quickly. "I thought you died in the Calamity a hundred years ago!"
"That's enough from you! Sit down and silence yourself!" one of the Gerudo guards called out to Kohga.
"But I'm still not done!" Kohga shouted back angrily as he bounced over the warriors heads, now landing behind Zelda, who turned with her sword shakily facing him. "I want to know how it feels for our little princess here to know she failed! Tell me, princess, how does it feel to know the Calamity Ganon lingers on?"
Zelda's eyes grew wide at the question as Kohga's painted upside down eye on his mask grew uncomfortably close to her nose. However, before she could answer, a bright light shone between the two as a deafening crack boomed throughout the room. Kohga swiftly floated back, now looking behind Zelda at the Hylian knight, whose fingers were raised from the snap he had given off.
"Stand down, Kohga," Link said, prepping his fingers for another snap. "I've got more where that came from. Sit down. Now."
The tension in the room grew heavy as the knight and the Yiga leader stared each other down. Even Zelda could feel the menacing force of Link's glare as a dangerous aura formed around him. She had only seen this side of Link once before, and she had already thought about the instance from a hundred years ago multiple times today. However even she had to admit, this gaze was far more personal than it had been back then.
"Fine then," Kohga said as he floated back over the group and into his original resting spot on the floor. "See? Isn't this much more fun? I knew the Champion would give me some good times."
Link sheathed the Master Sword, picking the orb he had dropped from the floor back up, however his intense gaze had remained on Kohga the entire time. Half of the guards returned to their post, however some remained with their spears still pointed towards the leaders belly.
"Let us move forward and not entertain his boastfulness any longer," Teake said, sheathing her own sword as they headed for the exit on the other side of the room. Link followed suit behind the Gerudo with the orb once again held high over his head, only turning his gaze away from Kohga after they were a few steps ahead. Zelda, who still had her sword drawn, remained staring at the Yiga leader before slowly making her way to the exit as well, her hands still trembling on the sword's handle as she did her best to ignore the evil stares of the rest of the Yiga sitting in the room.
"It seems as though our little underdog was correct after all," Kohga muttered quietly under his breath as he watched the group exit the other side of the room. "Just wait until he finds the strength to finish you vile people off. I wish it could be me, but I don't like doing work anyway. It's up to you to finish the will of Calamity Ganon, my dear servant..."
The group of three walked out of the stone fake door that led into the Yiga courtyard. Zelda took a much needed deep breath, happy to be free from the Yiga and the enclosed halls of their cold and sinister hideout. The air was still cold here with how close the Gerudo Highlands were, however the feeling of sunlight was enough to calm her nerves.
"Are you doing alright?" Link asked with the orb still above his head. The girl looked up before giving a small smile.
"Well, my heart seems ready to burst out my chest at any given moment, but besides that I'm well and good," Zelda said. Link gave a small smile of relief before turning towards Teake.
"Sorry to make you do all that for us," Link said apologetically, however the Captain shook her head, her fiery red ponytail flailing behind her.
"No need, Champion," she said. "You've had to help us many times before, even coming here and requiring the Thunder Helm for us. I do believe this is the least I can do for your troubles. I shall head back inside. I believe your little ancient device there can get you out of here."
With a nod in farewell, the Gerudo entered the hideout back through the stone wall, which closed upon her entry behind her. The two stared at the stone wall for a moment before Link turned back to the Hylian girl next to him. "I'm sorry for making you go through that, Zel. I really do hope it wasn't too much."
"Please, Link," Zelda said coolly. "I'm fine. It was nerve wracking but I can't stay like this forever. There are just some things about your past you just... need to face head on. Now then, is that the hole you need to throw the orb down?" she asked, pointing a slender finger towards the gaping hole in the center of the courtyard. Link nodded, now taking a few steps towards the hole with Zelda following behind him. The two walked forward until they stood at the end of the circular holes entrance.
"Three, throw the orb underground." Link reiterated form Kass' song. "I can't think of anything else it would mean, though I guess we'll find out in a moment. Here goes nothing."
With a small heave, the knight tossed the orb into the grounds below. The two listened to the echo of the orb bouncing around the walls of the crater before silence filled the air.
"Um... Link?" Zelda asked in a bit of concern. "Are you sure-?"
"Again, I can't think of anything else it would have meant..." Link said again, however his tone was much less confident than it had been previously as he stared down into the craters depths. "Oh boy."
However just before their uncertainty could consume them, the echoing familia words filled their minds once again.
You have done well, hero, completing these warm up trials. It is time to test your resolve and your spirit. Come to Divine Beast Vah Naboris, where your trials in the desert shall come to a close.
"Well. That answers that," Link said with a smile on his face as the monk's voice disappeared into the wind. "See? I told you so. I've got this completely covered."
"Is that so?" Zelda asked teasingly. "You sure did look confident at the end there."
"Only because you said something," Link chuckled as he took the Sheikah Slate out. The two of them laughed before their faces grew with slight concern.
"Are you going to be okay through this, Link?" Zelda asked as Link stared at the small blue Vah Naboris symbol on the Slates map. The knight sighed before looking into Zelda's green eyes. "We don't know what he'll do to you, or what he has in store for you in these trials. This next one seems like a real trial in a way..."
"I know I'll be fine," he said with confidence once again after a moment of silence. "We're strong. Besides... I have much more reason to come back from these trials than before, and that's really saying something. Plus you know a challenge could be good for me. Honestly it seems these challenges have been much more of a problem for you than me."
The girl slightly shoved Link's arm as the knight laughed a bit more. After clearing his throat, the knight held out his hand to Zelda.
"Shall we be off?" he asked with a smile. Returning his smile, the girl held out her own hand, placing it in his palm.
"We shall."
In a flash of blue, the two vanished as their bright embers made their way towards the ominous Vah Naboris sitting on its mountain top in the distance.
...
