They'll be upon you soon, so you make sure to move quickly, hurling the hook up over the ledge and onto the other side of the chest. It catches, and you scramble up the wall with all the speed you can muster, pulling up the rope behind and ducking back. You quiet your breathing and wait next to the chest in a crouch, looking down.
Two figures emerge into the room after a moment. One looks to be the ninja from before, though you can't be sure, with the mask. The second is taller, with a much broader, muscular frame, and armed with a steel odachi rather than a sickle, but dressed in a similar garb, including another mask with the inverted <span class="mu-s">Eye of Sheikah</span> on the face. They both scan the chamber laterally, and the smaller one moves over to the burlap sack, picking it up by the bottom and shaking it out.
<span class="mu-r">"Oh crackers and crumbs! The kid musta got the mirrors, this is completely horrible!"</span> He says, dropping the empty bag and turning to face his companion. By his voice and demeanor you can tell it is in fact the same assassin from earlier.
The larger of the two crosses his arms. <span class="mu-r">"Fool! <span class="mu-s">Verak</span> bid you guard the mirrors so that no other could claim the <span class="mu-s">key</span> which accesses the <span class="mu-s">Abyssal Vault</span>, and you have utterly failed this task. Your incompetence will be relayed to the <span class="mu-s">Mistress</span> when she returns from the <span class="mu-s">Lagoon</span>... There is no sign of the boy here... he may be in the shrine. Go and look, <span class="mu-s">Tetsugo</span>."</span> He says in a deep voice that drips with disdain.
<span class="mu-s">Tetsugo</span> nods anxiously, and opens the shadow door, setting a foot in and stepping through while shifting his weight forwards to orient correctly in the next room. You recognize the name, he was another resident of your village, perhaps ten years your senior. He left years ago and never returned, and you did not know him personally. After a moment you hear him call out from within. <span class="mu-r">"He isn't here either! You think he went back to the Elders to warn them?"</span>
