*Leaving Waning Hostilities from OP's 'retirement' and enters Rise of the Menace.*
It had been nearly a week since Joarm encountered a living soul. He had raced across the Desert and moved south through Lynx Caverns, coming upon Labrynna. He continued to ride on his nightmare steed across the country. When he arrived in Lynna City, he was greeted with stares of curiosity and fear. Some could see the death surrounding Joarm plain as day, while others were mystified by his appearance and aura. He climbed off his horse and walked, the horse remaining still as the gawkers looked on. Joarm, his hood raised, and cloaked, waited for the crowd to come and circle around the new visitor. When the numbers were sufficient, Joarm began his sermon.
"People of Labrynna! Hear me! My name is Joarm Miaa! I hail from Hyrule and have successfully overthrown the evil lord Ganondorf!"
The people began to cheer, knowing that this bitter feud between Labrynna, Hyrule, and Holodrum will soon end.
"But I am not here to boast! I have come for your support! Your faith! How long has this war between Labrynna and Holodrum lasted? The answer is that it has gone on long enough! How long have you often thought to yourself that the Goddesses have not been there looking out for you and your people? Well, my friends, I propose a new faith! Today, I shall show you that there are some of us who can oppose the Goddesses! That there are some who are able to stand up and wield enough power to, quite literally, overthrow the Goddesses!"
A man in the crowd hollered out.
"Who are these people? What makes them better?"
The crowd joined in unison and support of the man's question.
"Good question! And here are your answers! There is, to my knowledge, only one person who has this power! That is me!"
Joarm had his hood obscuring everything about him, not a thing could be seen. He had been looking down, avoiding any eye contact with the crowd, giving his speech while looking down. When he ended on the word 'me', he looked up, the crowd stunned at the man's eyes. The golden orange stare of two large eyes that seemed mostly unnatural and eerie. The crowd gasped in shock at the eyes.
"So what makes me a better person to pour your faith into? For one! I choose to remain here, with all of you, as one of you! I choose to live and understand and endure your hardships while the Goddesses have chosen to go above our world into their sacred realm and spectate for eras! But no more! We as men and women can stand up to them! We, as people, can end this feud and bring about peace to our homes, family, and others! You may hate Holodrum and its people, but with my council, my leadership, we can usher a new realm of peace and unity! No longer do we need to stand around dividing ourselves as 'Labrynnians', 'Hylians' and 'Holodrumans'! Instead, why not live together as one entity? Why not live where Kings and Queens are a thing of the past? Why disband our fears and hatred of our brethren and instead live in harmony?"
The crowd was in awe of the spectacle. There was pride, fear, and ambition in everyone's mind. They could feel the energy Joarm was giving them through his words and passion. He was giving them a new spark of peace and a new found idea of living. At the edge of the crowd, a man was watching and listening to the entire scene. He had listened to the words of Joarm and his praises, his subtle revolution. The man, dressed in armor, raced towards the Palace to inform the Baron of this newcomer, this new menace.
