"Heh! I'm surprised you don't already know!" The creature said to Shulk, "We're what you'd call a Goron!" With the boy's question answered, the Goron turned and began walking toward another tunnel, motioning for the two to follow. The rest of the Goron went back to what they were doing, which was mostly just sleeping or eating rocks.
Rin ran to catch up with the rock after the rest of them cleared out, and assumed he would be followed by Shulk. "So you two want a run down of what you'll be dealing with here?" He looked back at the two to see what they would say, as this information would be quite important for what they intended to do.
"Well, I guess that could be helpful." The demon replied with a smile, he was becoming excited to find out about Volvagia.
"Well," The goron began, "Volvagia is one of the reasons this place is so inhospitable. His offspring, at least what we assume to be his offspring, are the drake. Those things have been terrorizing the residents and visitors of Death Mountain for years in their master's stead, and they aren't even as bad as when Volvagia was still out and about. I've lost a lot of my brothers when they went off to fight that.. Thing. He paused for a moment, as his own explanation seemed to bring about bad memories. "Anyways, as far as we know, Volvagia has been sleeping for years, and we want to keep it that way for now.
"Sounds like he's a real ass hole.. How long have those drakes been around?" Rin asked out of curiosity.
"Well, we think they've been around for as long as Volvagia has, but there's some who like to think that they started showing up just a few years ago."
The fact that it was unsure how long the drakes have been around, and that Volvagia has been sleeping for years, made Rin a little uneasy about going through with the same plan he had in mind before, but he would still hear them out, maybe the elders would have a better explanation.
Eventually, the trio reached the lowest level of the cavern. The goron lead them to a large door that had a torch on either side of it, and a soft carpet in front of it. This is where they stopped, and the goron turned around to give them some more information. "Alright, just so you know, there is currently another man seeking to kill Volvagia, so the elders may just send you to help him out. But are you two ready? He asked one last time.
Rin's face now had uncertainty written all over it. There was already someone looking to kill him? "Hold up! You're telling me someone already wants to kill him, even though there's no guarantee he's the problem right now!?" He shouted, which drew the attention of some of the Goron's from before.
"Does it matter if he's the problem right now? We do know that he used to terrorize us." The goron replied. But this did little to convince Rin.
"Does it matter that he used to!? Things change as time goes on." Rin was completely serious at this point. The danger he expected to find in this verse was a different danger all together, but he wasn't even sure now if it was dangerous. The plains, yes, the sleeping dragon? Who's to say! "Look, I have this.. Feeling. That this is something we can't just guess on. I'm not gonna say I don't believe you, but I have to see for myself before I decide."
With that, the demon rushed off. Back through the tunnels that led back to the entrance to the village itself. He could hear the goron yelling about how he'd get himself killed if he did this, and saw the surprised, or even angry, look on a lot of the goron's faces as he passed them. This wasn't something he could just take someone's word for now, especially when that someone was unsure themselves what the real dangerous was at the current time.
Rin had run for a few minutes, and could now see the light at the end of the tunnel. As he rushed out, he was met with same scene he had been when he first entered the verse. A black sky with the occasional red dot, smoke and lava littering the landscape, creatures in the distance. It seemed he'd have to get through all of this if he wanted to learn the full story, or to end up fighting Volvagia. Whatever worked for him, he just needed an answer.
