Return to Oz
Told by Mutitoon90
Chapter Seven
In the following morning after the group escaped Nelhelenia's tower and fury, the make-shift sled was still flying in the sky, which was full of the color of the rainbow due to the on-coming sunrise, and half of the sleigh's occupants were asleep, while the others were waiting for girls from Kansas and the stray cat to wake up. However, Helios, in his alterative form of a winged unicorn, was still pulling the sleigh as he went to where the jewels that protected the Emerald City were taken to an unknown place by a mysterious being.
Soon, Dorothy opened her eyes and found herself in the quickly-made sleigh and was confused at first, but then she remembered that she was in Oz. However, the brunette looked over the side and saw only desert on the land below her. Then, she turned to Mihoshi, the pumpkin-headed and stick-bodied being, and Nightingale, the robotic woman, and asked them a question.
"Hey, where are we?"
"We in the sky." Mihoshi answered in a childish manner, which caused Nightingale to comment to the organic being.
"I believe she meant what land we are over, Mihoshi."
"Oh!" Exclaimed the scarecrow-like being before she admitted, "I don't know."
"Well, I know." Nightingale emotionlessly replied to Mihoshi's lack of an answer, "We are over the Deadly Desert."
"So, that's the name of this place." Muta's voice grabbed the awake females' attention, which turned to the stray cat that was looking down at the arid and lifeless land.
"What are talkin' about, Muta?" Dorothy asked the Kansas-native feline, who answered bluntly,"This is the place we were at, when we came to Oz."
"Really?" Dorothy asked the tomcat, who continued to speak about where he and the Kansas-born girls landed after the night that the girls were attacked by the mysterious woman.
"That's right." The male cat confirmed with the nod.
The brunette turned to the robot and asked, "Do you know anything about the Deadly Desert, besides the name?"
"Yes," the red-headed robot answered in a deadpan voice, "the Deadly Desert is known for its deadly magic."
"What kind of magic?" Dorothy asked, which Nightingale answered, "It is cursed sand, which can turn any living thing into a part of it."
"You've got to be kidding me!?" Kiyone yelled out to the group, and the shout echoed throughout the desert, reaching a mountain that was just ahead of the sleigh made of sofas.
Inside the mountain, the dark being that the twin witches called their Lord heard the shout, grinned darkly with a grim chuckle escape from his throat and said, "We have some guests coming, and I know exactly who is among them."
"What should we do?" The elderly witches, Kotake and Koume, asked their leader, not knowing what to do about Dorothy and her group.
"Allow them to come closer before we attack them." The witches' master declared, which made the magical duo cackle with dark glee.
"I'll freeze them into ice statues!" The blue-claded witch announced, which the red twin announced in response, "That is, if I don't burn them up into crisps first, Kotake."
Then, the twin sisters summoned two broomsticks, and each took a broom and flew off to await for the arrival of Dorothy and her allies. This left the dark Lord alone with his thoughts.
"Well, Dorothy Gale," the darkly clothed man grimmly spoke to the physically distant girl, "let's see how you can escape the Twin Witches of the Gerudo."
The sisters flew out of the mountian's shade and into the arid air of the nearly lifeless land, and they waited until the flying sofas where close enough for the twins to attack. Koume was the first to strike at Dorothy and her friend by throwing a fireball at them, but the flame missed, due to Helios seeing the dangerous projectile.
"Whoa!" The young farmgirl shouted as she tried to maintain her balance on the make-shift sleigh. Then, she looked at Helios and yelled out a question.
"Helios! What's goin' on?"
"We're being attacked!" The horse with the golden horn yelled back at the farmgirl, who looked at the side of the sleigh and saw the attackers: the Twin Witches of the Gerudo.
"Nice try, sister!" Kotake cackled upon seeing the miss, "Now, it's my turn!"
Then, a bolt of ice flew out of the blue-claded hag's hand and nearly hit the sofa-sleigh, since Helios also saw that on-coming attack as well.
"Who's attacking us?" Kiyone demanded to know the identities of the people attacking the sofas-sleigh, which was answered by Nightingale.
"They are the Twin Witches of the Gerudo, the most powerful females of the Gerudo people."
"And exactly who or what the Gerudo people are?" Kiyone asked through her gritted teeth, apparently annoyed with the robot's blunt answer.
Before the woman-like robot could answer, another fireball flew at the sofa. Although it failed to destory the make-shift sleigh, a small flame was left behind, causing panic for those that possessed the emotion of fear.
"Oh, no!" Kiyone meeked out.
Dorothy was quick as she removed her backpack and pulled out the ball Pallas had given her before the Kansas girl returned to her aunt and uncle. As Dorothy pulled the ball into the morning sunlight, Muta took this opportunity to stow away in the brunette's backpack.
"Hey!" Dorothy yelled out, which the retreating feline replied bluntly, "I'm not coming out of here until this bag's on solid ground!"
The brunette would have lost her temper at that moment, however since there were twin witches attacking them, she wisely held her temper and turned to her friends and started to take some authority.
"We better get off of the sleigh before things get even worse!"
However, the flame that was slowly eating the couches, which were tied together by some rope, growing bigger. Things were indeed getting worse.
Dorothy made her way to Helios's side of the sleigh and shouted out to the winged unicorn, "Helios, can you carry a lot of weight?"
"I can carry over a hundred kilos." Helios replied as calmly as he could, but due to the situation that he was in, there was a tone of panic in his voice.
"Good to hear." Dorothy announced before her attention returned to her friends and said, "Guys, get on Helios's back."
"What?" Kiyone and Mihoshi were shocked at Dorothy Gale's words as well as unexpected from the Witch Killer from Kansas.
"You heard me!" Dorothy shouted back, "I'm not goin' let my friends get killed because of me!"
Kiyone knew Dorothy long enough to know when the brunette was being serious; so she nodded and said, "Understood."
Mihoshi and Nightingale were confused; Mihoshi was willing, though reluctant, to obey Dorothy's command, however Nightingale was more resistant.
"I am sorry, Dorothy, but your command goes against my orders from King Tenchi. I must disobey that order."
"Sorry," Dorothy countered as the blue ball in her hand glowed brightly, "but you're gonna make an exception this time."
Then, the glowing orb changed its shape into a sword-like form, and Dorothy used the weapon to cut through the rope, causing the sleigh to fall part.
Helios, who had dissolved the magical reins from the sleigh and himself, carried Kiyone and Mihoshi to safety, while Dorothy and a determined Nightingale stayed on the flaming and falling sofas; Dorothy was on one, and the robot was on the other.
"Dorothy, get off of there!" Kiyone and Mihoshi shouted in unison as their friend was falling to her possible doom.
The brunette farmgirl took no heed to the panicked females' words; she was more worried about the safety of Nightingale.
"Nighingale!" Shouted the Kansas farmgirl, "Get to off of the sofa! Now!"
Nightingale was trying to respond to the statement, but she was too far away for Dorothy to hear her in the distance.
Then, the farmgirl noticed the attacking twins again, which caused the farmgirl to attempt to protect herself from the hags' attacks Once the attacks were executed and headed towards Dorothy, the girl's purple hair-tie glowed brightly, summoning its magic to project a shield to reflect the attacks back at the witches.
The Twin Witches of the Gerudo saw the redirected projectiles of magic and retreated by to the mountain that they had exited from earlier, causing the attacks to collide in the sky that resulted in a powerful explosion.
Dorothy did not have time to enjoy the sight of the explosion, because she was trying to prevent her death. Recalling Pallas's blue ball in her hand, Dorothy jumped off of the burning sofa, which fell onto the ground and shattered into pieces of wood, cloth, stuffing and embers.
"Boy, that was a close one!" Laughed a relieved Dorothy as the ball in an umbrella form helped the foreign female gentlely float down to the mountian that the flying sleigh was over when the sleigh was brought down.
Once the umbrella-holding female felt solid ground on her feet, she did the umbrella, which turned back into its ball form, back into her backpack, and then she was greeted by Kiyone, Mihoshi and Helios in his human form; all of them were concerned about their friend's well-being. The first one that reached the tomboyish female was Kiyone, who threw a powerful punch right at Dorothy's face, but the brunette girl stepped back a couple of steps.
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!?" Shouted the dark teal-haired deputy from Kansas, who was even more upset about the brunette's disregard for personal safety.
"Tryin' to protect you and the rest of my friends." Dorothy folded her arms and expressed a lack of regret of her actions.
"Dammit!" Kiyone shouted, when Dorothy's attention was turned towards another point on the mountain the group was on, causing the deputy to lose some more of her temper again.
"Dorothy, you're not listening to me!"
Dorothy ignored her best friend from Kansas, because she was worried about the fate of Nightingale, whom Kiyone seemed to have forgotten about due to her anger towards the brunette. Quickly, the farmgirl looked for the robot and found her.
"Nightingale, you're okay!" Dorothy yelled gleefully upon seeing the robot from the Emerald City, who looked at her after hearing the farmgirl.
"Dorothy, are you unharmed?" Nightingale asked without any emotion in her voice to the farmgirl, who answered the inquiry, "I'm okay. And you?"
"I do not believe that I am undamaged from the fall, even though my landing had a slight imperfection." The red-headed, woman-like machine responded to the short question.
"Dorothy!" Mihoshi's voice rang off to the Kansas girl and the mechanic woman, who looked at the direction of the cry, but they saw no one.
"This isn't lookin' good." Dorothy's voice was low from the bad feeling that was creeping on her mind and the nearly overwhelming concern for her friends.
"We must investigate." The ever-emotionless Nightingale announced to the female of Kansas, who nodded in agreement before the two of them ran to the source of the call out.
Upon arriving to the area of the shout, Dorothy and Nightingale were met with spears pointed at them. The brunette looked beyond the weapons and saw the warriors holding the blades: women with orange skin, fiery-red hair and clothes that looked like the style of the Arabians. From this look, the Kansas-native farmgirl came to a plausible guess: the woman that attacked her and Kiyone, back in Kansas, must be from this tribe.
"So, this is the famous Witch Killer." One of the woman, who was wearing a cloth mask over her bandana her mouth, noticed Dorothy, "You look like much."
"Be careful!" Another of the women, who was wearing a navy blue outfit and lacked a mask, warned her fellow warrior, "That might have the same thought the Queen-Witch of the East and the Vampire-Witch of the West had when they were killed."
Dorothy moaned mentally, not liking hearing about how she killed the wicked witches; Beryl, the Queen-Witch of the East, was killed when Dorothy, who was in a magical cyclone a moment earlier, bumped into Beryl's statue of herself, meaning that Dorothy and Beryl never met in life. Elda, the Vampire-Witch of the West, met her fate by Dorothy's accidentally-placed hand as well, but Dorothy knew nothing about the pink-haired witch's weakness towards water when the farmgirl threw the bucket of water, while trying to defend Pallas.
Then, the brunette noticed that one of the women, who was wearing an attire of blood red, appproaching her.
"Dorothy Gale," the red-claded woman spoke to her with an unexpected tone of respect towards the brunette, "your friends are unharmed, and if you wish that fact to remain true, you and your robot shall meet with our King."
"I'll agree to it," a powerfully-toned voiced Dorothy said to the apparent leader of the group of women, "but my friends must be with me when I meet with your King."
"Understood." The leader nodded to Kansas-native girl, "Follow me."
Dorothy and Nightingale followed the red-claded women into the mountain and into a underground corridor, while the woman's troops followed the "guests" of their home. Along the way, Dorothy and Nightingale saw their allies, who were walking in a slower pace and with less guardsthan the twosome and their "escorts."
"Dorothy! Nightingale!" Kiyone exclaimed in a relieved shout, "Are you guys alright? Did they hurt you?"
"No," Dorothy shook her head, causing her brown hair to wave in its restraintive tie, "why did you think that?"
"Well, we thought you were hurt, since we didn't see you." Mihoshi answered that time, causing the the deputy with the dark teal hair to be annoyed.
"Especially, when the Gerudo are infamous for not being very kind to outsiders." Helios stated, which caused the warrior women to glare at him. The horned male saw the golden-tipped daggers that were the women's eyes pointed at him, he added in a meekish voice, "Usually the males."
"Why would they not like males, especially since they have a king?" Dorothy asked since she lacked the knowledge about the Gerudo people.
That question was answered, but it was not one of Dorothy's friends who answered the inquiry; it was the Gerudo woman in red garmets.
"We're a proud people that mostly consists of females that is blessed with a male once for every one hundred years. During the time without a king, our people works at every job and kind of work without the barrier of gender, which most of the fools that live in Oz possess, hindering us. This is hardly changed when there is a king in our tribe."
"I see." The farmgirl announced her mental musing, "And, you believe that women can do anything a man can do."
"Of course!" The red wearing memeber of the warriors nearly exclaimed, "And I personally think it's disgusting that the males would believe that women are inferior to them!"
When the leader announced her displeasure towards the double-standard of the genders from the other races that they had encountered, the other women nodded in agreement.
"That doesn't mean that it's always true." The famed foreginer was still musing at the female leader's statement.
That surprised the warrior women in the area, mostly the red-claded woman, who asked, "So, you're from a land that is different from the land of Oz."
"Yeah," Dorothy nodded, "although the people there, this is from Kansas, are more like a mixture of your people and those from Oz."
"This land sounds promising." This time, it was the red-wearing female's turn to muse at the words of the famous Witch Killer, not the other way around.
"I wouldn't visit there right now, though." Dorothy said in a nervous manner, "Times are rough over there."
"Understood." The leader of the warriors said with a kind, yet sad, smile on the face. Then, she changed the tone of her voice and said, "Let's go."
Once again, Dorothy, Kiyone, Nightingale, Mihoshi and Helios were walking down the underground corridor, however Dorothy and Kiyone started whispering to each other.
"Dorothy, what's going on?"
"Not a clue, Kiyone. However, I have a feelin' about these woman and their king."
"What makes you say that?"
"Don't know; I just have it."
"Great." Kiyone moaned through her teeth as she slowed down, when she felt a sharp, metal object poked at her back, causing the deputy sheriff to jump up with a slight fright.
"Keep going." The woman that poked Kiyone with her weapon said to the deputy, who wanted to say something obscene to her, but wisely held her tongue; she knew that she was no match for the warriors that were "escorting" her and her friends down the hall.
Soon, the groups reached a pair of ivory-white doors, which were accented with orange-tan markings on it. Dorothy and her friends were nervous about meeting the King of the Gerudo, because they did not know if the King was just as dangerous as the warrior women, if not more or less.
"Our King awaits for you beyond these doors." The red-claded leader announced to the mixed-up group of five.
"Thank you." Dorothy nodded the the woman that lead her group to that point, "I hope when we meet again that we're on the same side."
The leader smiled sadly again, but this time, she added something else to the weak grin.
"Aveil."
"Huh?"
"Aveil is my name." The red-claded woman managed her sad smile as she spoke, as if she were saying good bye to a dear friend of hers.
"Again," Dorothy said to the leader, "thanks, Aveil."
Then, Dorothy's group entered through the doors, leaving the warrior women behind. Aveil was saddened by Dorothy's departure, knowing that there was a strong chance that the foreigner stood little chance against the King of the Gerudo, and the dreadful feeling was shared by her group.
Once the group of five entered the room, they could hardly see what was in front of them, and to make things worse, the doors closed behind them. The members of the group did not know what was going to happen next.
"I not liking this." Kiyone hissed under her breath.
The other heard the whispered comment and could help themselves when they agreed with her, since they so little about the Gerudo King.
"You've finally arrived." A man's deep voice echoed throughout the darkness of the room, "Welcome to my humble abode."
As if on cue, torches of wood were lit with fire, illumminating the room and exposing a table with food and a throne with a man on it. The memebers of the group were both scared and in awe of the man more than anything else in the room.
With flaming red-orange hair and dark olive-green skin, the man looked regal with his black armor, which was accented with some gold, and menacing with his amber eyes, which had a gleam of a intention that was as dark as the armor and as bright as the topaz that was seated above the man's forehead. Even sitting down, the man's height was seen by all of the man's "guests."
Dorothy was the first of the group to notice the two witches that had attacked her and her friends earlier, and she was not in a mood to be nice to them or to the man that seat on the seat that the hags were hiding behind. Oddly, she was not the first to speak the dark man.
"Where are the Emeralds, Ganondorf!" The horned man, Helios, shouted out to the ruler of the Gerudo people.
The lone male of his people grinned darkly as he commented back to Helios.
"Well, aren't you clever? However, I'm not that surprised that a guardian of the Emerald City and the Emeralds themselves would have figured it out."
The white-haired, boy-appearing male grimance at the man with red-orange hair, who was still smiling with a hidden intention on his lips. However, Helios was not important to the Gerudo King at that time.
"Dorothy Gale." Ganongdorf's voice boomed at the announcement, grabbing the brunette farmgirl's attention, "The famed dispatcher of wicked witches and beloved savior of Oz." Then, his face weakened a little as did his tone of what seemed to be praise, "I was expecting you to be more impressive."
Dorothy was not impressed with the Gerudo's "praise" towards her; in fact, the only words that the Kansas girl believed was the part that was in a disappointed tone.
"Well, I'm not here to impress anyone." Dorothy was proud about herself, despite what her aunt had often said about her appearance needing an improvement.
"Hmm..." Dorothy and Kiyone noticed that the man was in a deep thought, which told each young woman that he was planning something, and both girls sensed that it was not good for them at all.
Then, Ganondorf spoke to Dorothy again.
"Well, such a bold personality, almost reminds me of the rest of the Gerudo. However, I tend to take an interest in those who possess abilities that is... unique."
"What do you mean?" Dorothy looked at Ganondorf, who looked at her, with every eye looking at the conversing duo.
"Being able to defeat two witches within the same week is no small feat; even Zeniba and Kakyuu, two of Oz's most powerful witches, had some difficulty when they fought the wicked female that once ruled the north and the south."
Dorothy, as well as her allies, knew that the witches that he was mentioning were not the same ones that knew cackling behind Ganondorf's throne. Also, the brunette heard some tone of honest praise in the dark man's voice.
"Of course," the Gerudo male spoke again, "I was somewhat disappointed that you did not kill Nelhelenia, which only cause me to this assumsion: the witches' deaths were merely accidents."
At that point, Dorothy did not know whether to be relieved that someone believed the truth or concerned that the one person that believed her to be a normal girl was the one responsible for destorying the Emerald City after stealing the Emeralds that protected it and the capital's ruler, who was also one of her dearest friends.
"Killin' them was not my intention." Dorothy announced in a bark-like voice to the Gerudo King, causing the Kotake and Koume to flinch in shock, however, Ganondorf was not unfazed by the farmgirl.
"I'm not suprised, but I believe I should tell you that your friend, Tenchi, is still alive." The Gerudo King announced, allowing the twins witches to start cackling under their breath.
That announcement shocked everyone, mostly Dorothy, and the leader of the warrior women added to the statement after seeing the surprised looks of his guests' faces.
"That is, if you call him being an knick-knack still alive."
The fury in Dorothy's eyes were evident to her allies and friends, as well as her opponents.
"If you wish to see your friends again, you'll have to play a little game of mine; I believe it to be quite enjoyable."
Kiyone looked at Dorothy, who would normally have a smart remark about a smug comment from a cocky-sounding person, but she was surprised that the farmgirl was silent. However, the deputy also was aware that Dorothy was about to do something foolish, if not brave.
"What are the rules of the game?" Dorothy asked in a serious tone of voice, confirming Kiyone's feeling about Dorothy's choose to play Ganondorf's game.
"They're very simple." The Gerudo King explained as his shadowly smile remained on his face, "Just look in my collection of knick-knack, and when you find one that you believe is Tenchi, touch it and say, 'Oz.' You only allowed to do this three times."
"So, what happens if we don't succeed in finding Tenchi?" Kiyone stepped forward, surprising Dorothy.
"Well," Ganondorf's smile became wider, "you'l become a part of my collection."
This was a complete shock to the group, but to find Tenchi, it was a gamble that they would have to take.
Dorothy turned to her friends, who all silently agreed to play the life-changing game with a nod. With a nod towards her friends, the farmgirl turned to face Ganondorf again and said, "We'll play."
"Good to hear." Ganondorf calmly cheered, "Now, who's going first?"
"I am." Kiyone stepped forward, surprising Dorothy again.
"Interesting..." Mused the king of the Gerudo women before directing where Kiyone was to go, saying, "Go to the tunnel over there and follow it to the end; my collection lies beyond the doors that you will see at the end of the hall."
Kiyone nodded her head towards the lone male of the Gerudo, and then the deputy sheriff turned to Dorothy with a look in her sky-blue eyes that said something like, 'Figure out this guy's weakness.' Then, with a brave face, Kiyone Makibi made her way to her fate.
After Kiyone's departure, Ganondorf turned to the 'guests' and offered the presented fruits on the table, while the group waited to learn of Kiyone's results.
As the group waited, a thunderous rumbling was hear by everyone in the room three times. The first time it happened, Ganondorf explained that the rumbling was to indicate that Kiyone had made a wrong choose. The second time the thunder was heard was not met with as much surprise. However, the third thunder-like rumbling was not only heard; it was also felt by everyone.
Upon the thrid rumbling, almost everyone was startled by it, with the expection of Nightingale, the Gerudo witches and Ganondorf, who said, "Kiyone has failed... Who's next?"
Dorothy turned to her friends and saw that the others, excluding Nightingale, had an expression that said that Dorothy should stay and try to figure out what information Ganondorf had in his mind.
Helios was the next to volunteer to face the life-altering "game," and he made his way to the hallway, which Ganondorf made a comment about the white-haired male's ability to detect the Emeralds, which the younger-looking man said in response, "It would be easier if you lower that magical veener that you've draped over the mountain."
Some time went by, and the three thunderous rumbling announced themselves again, telling all in the room that Helios had failed as well. This caused Mihoshi, who was nervous and hesitant, to face the challege of find King Tenchi.
"Wish me luck." The girl made of wood and fruit waved her friends a farewell before walking down the hall and to Ganondorf's collection.
Within thirty minutes, the trio of rumblings were heard, announcing Mihoshi's failure as well, causing Nighingale to stand up and make her way to the hallway.
"Good luck, Nightingale..." Dorothy muttered under her breath as she watched her remaining ally enter the dark passageway to her fate.
Another half-hour passed by, however only two rumbles of what seemed to be thunder had only announced themselves, and this worried the farmgirl about her friend even more. Ganondorf, on the other hand, remained calm, especially when he saw the concerned expression on the girl's youthful face.
Turning to the witches, Koume and Kotake, the leader of the Gerudo woman gave a command to the twin spellcasters' ears, and the twins obeyed and flew off to the hallway.
Dorothy watched as the twin witches flew off, and this sight caused Dorothy to be worried; even though Koume and Kotake were on the side that was responsible for the ruin of the capital of Oz, their presence was an odd comfort to her, since she could feel Ganondorf's eye glaring at her form as soon as the twins were gone.
"So, Dorothy Gale," the Gerudo King broke the silence in the throne room, "why are you so interested in finding a man made of straw?"
Dorothy did not know why the dark olive-skinned man was asking such a personal question, but he was going to get an answer.
"Tenchi's my friend, and I was raised not to leave my friends in a dangerous situation, no matter what."
"Really?" Ganondorf seemed to scoff at the reply, "That seems to be a weak reason. Why not for gold or power?"
"Gold or power?" The farmgirl asked in a confused tone. Then, she answered bluntly, "I think those things are worthless to me."
The statement was apparent surprise to the Gerudo King, who was expecting a completely different answer. After a moment of dropping his dark grin, Ganondorf regained it as he said the word, "Interesting..."
Then, Koume and Kotake returned, causing Ganondorf to divert his attention from Dorothy, who was silently sighing in relief.
"What is it?" The king asked the ancient women, who answered, "It seemed that the one called Nightingale has stopped moving."
"Really?" Dorothy heard the falseness in Ganondorf's voice as she felt the leader of the Gerudo women return his eye sight at her form. Then, he added, "Well, I might assume that Dorothy would know something about this... interesting turn of events."
Dorothy had a feeling that Ganondorf believed that Nightingale was planning something, and that Dorothy was in on it, but that was not true.
"The only thing that I would assume is that Nightingale needs to be winded up again."
Whether or not Ganondorf believed the statement was not Dorothy's concern; seeing that Nightingale was unharmed was the Kansas girl's main concern at that point.
Pulling out the key that was used to "awaken" Nightingale, the farm girl turned to Ganondorf with a mask of bravery to hide her nervousness.
"May I please go to her so she could finish her turn?"
The dark smile of Ganondorf widened as he said, "You may, and as soon as she finishes, you can start your turn."
Dorothy had a bad feeling about the leader of the warrior women when he mentioned about her turn, but she knew that she had to go to Nightingale's aid, if it was truly needed. Also, she was thankful that she was not going to stay in that room; she did not like that way Ganondorf was looking at her, even though the king's examination was not like the lustful looks that Kiyone's boss, who was the sheriff, would give her.
Once the Kansas girl entered the dark hallyway to the Gerudo King's collection, Koume and Kotake turned to their master and asked their own question.
"My Lord, don't you think that this is a trick?" The red-robed sister expressed her and her sister's concern about Dorothy.
Then, the blue-claded sister asked, "What if she figures out which object is the false man, Tenchi?"
"You, the ones that raised me, doubt my judgement?" Ganondorf looked at the hags with a face of mock hurt.
The twins stepped back in shock, realizing that they were questioning their master's intention, however, before they could even start begging for forgiveness, the Gerudo King spoke again.
"Whether or not she finds Tenchi will be by pure chance, not by the thinking process of a clockwork doll."
