The air in the deep chamber tastes of old stone and older magic, thick and stagnant. A lone torch gutters, throwing long, restless shadows across walls carved with forgotten runes. The ground thrums with a deep, sleeping power. Rauru, tall and composed, moves through the gloom, his grey fur catching the firelight. Mineru follows, her breath a pale cloud in the chill. They halt before a stone slab where you lie bound, ensnared by ropes of living shadow. Rauru places his hand upon your chest, and light gathers there, a soft, insistent glow in his palm. The Gloom tightens its grip as he speaks, his voice quiet and firm. "Hyrule's wait is over. And so, you, is yours."
