Defeated by a child, no less. You’d think he’d get used to this. Ganondorf stared up at the deluge falling from the sky and a hysterical laughter clawed its way up his throat. It was funny really; how close he’d come to succeeding. He couldn’t help but laugh. Laugh at the absurdity of it all. Laugh up until the Hero of Winds launched himself up and lodged the Master Sword in the gem on Ganondorf’s forehead. Laugh until it all went dark.
The next time Ganondorf opened his eyes he expected to see nothing but the darkness of the shadow realm. He pushed himself up and froze as he got a good look around. Instead he was quite surprised to find himself staring up at an ornate gate that looked to be made of two fruit trees, leading into a giant dome. Nowhere in Hyrule were there structures like this one. It was gigantic. He could fit Hyrule palace in that dome if he wanted to; and then some. This was definitely not the shadow realm.
He stepped forward, making his way toward the gate, till he heard a quiet cough slightly behind him, and turned. How had he not noticed the small man standing there? The man quickly stepped up to him and pushed a smallish black object, a journal, into Ganondorf’s hand while saying, “Welcome to Paixao,” before gesturing towards the gate and walking through himself.
Ganondorf stared after the strange man with a slightly perplexed expression on his face. So, this place is called Paixao… It didn’t sound like a word from any language he knew of. This place…This world was almost overwhelmingly strange. Still, standing here, staring at the domes wasn’t going to get him anywhere and so, he took his first steps into the domes of Paixao.

Threaded | Flat

Despite his friends tending to stay put, Simba has taken to exploring as much of Paixao as he could. Today, he just so happened upon the area of the Vanaheim gate. Perfectly in time to see someone else with the same expression he had when he first got here.

Ganondorf was pretty strange-looking, even for a human (though Simba was wondering if he might be some other kind of monkey or ape), but Simba couldn't really help himself. "Hey. You're new, right? Need any help?"

Ganondorf wasn’t quite sure what to make of things. Everything in this place wasn’t anything like Hyrule. And then a lion came up and spoke to him. Sure, Hyrule had had lions but they certainly didn’t talk. Still, when an opportunity presented itself, it would have been stupid to pass it up.
“I am indeed new here and any information about this place would be very helpful. I am Ganondorf. You are?”

"The name's Simba," he answered, smiling and blissfully ignorant at just how weird it is for a lion to have humanesque expressions. "I'm really new, too, so I don't know a lot, but I can probably at least show you somewhat around."

Ganondorf looked around thoughtfully at the unfamiliar surroundings for a moment before turning back to the smiling lion, " That would be most helpful.... Where are we, exactly?"

"Well, they call this whole place something like pie-show. It's a pretty strange place, since it's like... a really big cave. Sort of," he explains, to the best of his ability. Given his experience in being nothing other than a lion, he doesn't quite have the reference needed to really come up with relevant similes. "This area is one of the gates you get in through. I've been told that it's not really a good idea to leave them."

Ganondorf looked around again. The place didn’t look much like a cave to him. More like a huge domed city. But then, he supposed it was a bit much to expect a lion to know the difference. Apparently lions are still lions, regardless of their ability to talk.
“So, there’s more than one entrance. Do you know why we’re here? Did you arrive the same way? This all seems so…deliberate.”

"It's all really strange, yeah. I arrived not too long ago, myself, though I came through a different gate," Simba explained, looking around with him. It's still quite a bit removed from anything he had ever seen in his life. It's true - lions are still lions.

"What do you mean, deliberate?"

Ganondorf looked down at Simba thoughtfully. The lion was wildly different from anything he’d seen before. As was everything else in this….Paixao place.
“From what I understand of this place most, if not all, of the people have been taken from where ever it was they were before. I was. You were. The act of taking is a very deliberate thing. You don’t take something if you want or need it.”

"So you're saying that somehow, someone took us from our homes and brought us here? I didn't even think of that..." Simba frowns, looking concerned, that oddly human-like face showing all of his worry. He wasn't very good at masking his emotions.

Ganondorf smirks slightly at Simba's concern. "Indeed. That would seem to be the case. How or why, I don't know and isn't really important at present. The things one could do in the place though.... That is an interesting thought." Having had experience as the one doing the taking, it seemed only logical for that to be the case. The fact that it unnerved Simba so much was one of the most amusing things Ganon had seen in a long time.

"If there's someone responsible, then they need to be held accountable. Taking animals from their homes is unacceptable. There's no way it's not upsetting the Circle of Life," Simba says, recovering fairly well from the surprise. "I wouldn't know who or what could have that kind of power, but if I did, I would start looking for them immediately."
