Owain got a better look inside once Link moved, and he sighed in disappointment, shaking his head. Another uninhabited home.
"I fear all the denizens of this realm may have fled before the great calamity that approaches," he said gravely. That had to be the explanation, right? Why else would all these houses be here if there was no one living in them?
And more importantly, how was he supposed to learn what his heroic quest was if there was no one to tell him?
He was about to suggest moving on to the next home, just to make absolutely sure... when out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of movement within the house. A glow worm peeked out from behind a chair, spotted them, and began to wriggle its way towards them.
In a heartbeat Owain had his sword drawn and leveled squarely at the worm. "Halt, foul beast! Come no closer, if you value life and limb!" It halted, looking as puzzled as a glow worm could, while Owain assumed a fighting stance.
