Turning to Yunobo, you watched as the stone shrunk and then flew right in front of Yunobo, startling him as he looked at it with curiosity. He then held out his hand as he softly touched it as it suddenly let out a blinding white light. Blinding both you and Link, even from behind Yunobo's massive stature.

The three of you slowly opened your eyes to see that you were now in a similar zen garden to the one you and Tulin were in when you spoke to his ancestor.
"Yunobo, little rock..." Came a voice that caught your attention. "I've heard that voice." Yunobo said as he opened his eyes and looked forward, "Are you the one who's been talking to us this whole time, goro?" In front of the three of you stood a goron with a mask resembling Divine Beast Vah Rudania and wearing clothing of a similar design to Tulin's Ancestor. "Yes. I am your ancestor from a time long past." The goron spoke, "I served the first king of Hyrule as a mighty warrior and as a sage who, like you, could command fire. You fight using your body as a weapon... Impressive! You ARE my descendant--the pride of the Gorons. You defeated that monster--the source of those foul rocks. But it was the Demon King who summoned it."
"Like with the blizzard..." You said as you chose to keep listening. Yunobo then asked about the Demon King as the Goron replied, "He sent that monster to keep you from obtaining the stone you just found--mu secret stone. This is likely the first time you've heard any of this... So listen carefully to what I have to say. Let me tell you about the Imprisoning War and the duty of our people." The Goron said as he began to explain...
=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=
Many years ago, in the kingdom of Hyrule's earliest days... A great evil, the Demon King, sought to conquer the kingdom and kill everyone who resisted his rule. Rauru--the first king of Hyrule--rose up to oppose him, along with me and six other warriors. And to fight the Demon King, Rauru trusted us with these secret stones. Incredible artifacts that amplified our powers. I stood beside my fellow sages as the Sage of Fire, stronger than ever with my secret stone.
However, we were no match for the Demon King. Even my strongest blows weren't enough to break him. Rauru understood that we couldn't overcome the Demon King, he'd become too powerful... In one last brave act, our leader sacrificed himself to imprison that monster, hence the name the Imprisoning War.
And then, some time later... The Sage of Time--one of the seven sages--came to me. Her visit would set the Gorons' duty in stone.
"The magic restraining the Demon King will be undone. He will return. When that time comes, a noble swordsman named Link and passionate human named (Y/n) will oppose him. But they will need help. Lend them your power... Your fire... The Gorons' mastery of fire!"
In that moment, the duty of the Goron people was clear.
"I'd like nothing more than to smash the Demon King for what he's done. I swear that, when the Demon King returns, the Sage of Fire will awaken again. The Goron sage and the Goron people will fight alongside your warriors."
=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=÷=
And that's what you need to know about the Imprisoning War and of our people's duty..." The Goron finished, "You saved Goron City, but the Demon King is still out there. Yunobo, little rock... Take up my secret stone and honor the pledge I made to the Sage of Time long ago. Fight alongside the warriors Link and (Y/n)..." The Goron finished as he held out his hand, and the blinding white light returned, coating everyone.

As the three of you opened your eyes, you were now back in the temple, with the stone still floating in front of Yunobo, who spoke, "So it's my duty to help you fight? And he wants me to inherit this? Really? I don't know if I'm nearly as great as my ancestor was... But then... If I don't help out, I'd be letting everyone else down! There's no way I'll let that happen! I can do this!" And with those words, and Yunobo slaming his fists together, the white stone converted to a fiery red as a symbol became engraved on it.
