Legend of Zelda; The Dark Triforce

[Monkey Ninja Haruko]

❝I used to be scared of things...
That I would be a bad person, or I would be all alone.❞
❝But then I realized...
I am not a good person, and I am alone.
So I stopped being afraid.❞

Celesyr

Celesyr waited for Nhadala to speak, and decided to accept her excuse of being concerned about Ganondorf running off in the morning. She seemed attached to the King in a way, and it did seem odd to Celesyr that he would have left. What she said about something being very wrong worried him. He had a feeling it had nothing to with Ganondorf running off, or at least that wasn't the main part of the problem. He couldn't help but feel uneasy, although he'd been doing his best to ignore it.

Nhadala reached out and grabbed the boys hands, so Celesyr figured she had someplace she wanted to go and let her guide them. She led them to a place he had actually visited a couple times before. She didn't seem interested in running into people, and avoided the inn's, finally leading them into a shack. He sat down, after Nhadala had, and listend to her talk about her foreboding feeling.

He paused for a moment when she asked if he didn't feel it too. Celesyr had noticed something troubling, a feeling from the triforce a lot stronger than when he got close to another triforce holder, and a lot more dangerous. He had done his best to ignore it however, since they had been looking for Nhadala, and he could tell there wasn't any imminent danger at the time. "I noticed something... bad," he admitted.

He didn't want to worry when he could plainly see there was nothing dangerous around them, but this was something he could feel because of his triforce piece. That meant it must have been something more than a bad feeling. Celesyr waited while Nhadala and Kokuei spoke for a moment. They were a very... sweet pair. He glanced at the entrance to the shed, watching to see if anyone came in, and then Kokuei mentioned getting food, and figuring out a plan. He nodded in agreement, before racking his brain for what he remembered about Lon Lon ranch. "I've been here a couple times before. Have either of you?" he informed them. "I might know where to get food, if not much has changed, but if you want to avoid people, that could be a problem." He didn't know the details, but if Nhadala wanted to keep away from strangers, he could understand. There were reasons someone might not be comfortable around unknown people, or it could have been another issue. However some interaction might be necessary while they were on the ranch.

Link's words were like slaps to the face - she had been willing to talk to him about her curse, of course, but Din telling him about it before she could had made it worse for her, and the pit of her stomach dropped when Link fired of his questions. She was still thinking about it, though she had neglected to answer him. As for Zelda having the Triforce of Wisdom, wasn't she being unwise by wanting to Kill Ganon instead of seek answers? It seemed that only Tiara had been the wise one, asking Ganondorf to recount his time while he was possessed. Zelda, lacking her Triforce Pieces, must have not been as 'wise' as she should have been. They had to be connected.

When Ganon gave Zelda back her Triforce piece, Ky smiled softly - This was definitely the Ganon she had met before... Not that Zelda seemed to care. As usual. Ky sighed heavily, kicking the ground with one bare foot. This was going to be a difficult journey from here on out; The Forest Girl had no intentions of letting Ganon go off on his own, and here Zelda was, demanding he leave. No, she would take responsibility for the Prince, and Ky hoped that Link would stand up for her and agree to keep him around - three Triforce Pieces were better than two, after all. she was distracted from her thoughts when Link and Ganondorf spoke. She still felt incredibly... was it guilty? It was a new emotion for the Skull Kid, anyway. She wasn't used to this; She hoped that the curse was beginning to ebb away and that was why she was feeling a slew of emotions - affection, guilt, sadness, embarrassment. She sighed again when Link said that it didn't make sense as to why the Goddess would have turned against the world she had helped to create. "Perhaps she doesn't feel like the portions her Sisters threw in were worth it? I don't know. I've never really cared for the Hylian stories that my Brothers would pass around. I was bored by them." Ky shrugged. She was starting to feel antsy again, agitated. Zelda's bad moods seemed to slap her hard for some reason - the negativity fueled the fury that the Skull Kids seemed to be so drawn to. Ky forced herself to stay calm.

Ky looked over to Tiara as Link did, listening to her and Zelda speak, not surprised by their story. It made sense, really. When Zelda started speaking again, about wanting Ganon to go, and wanting the group to make up their minds what they were doing with him, Kyrie growled at her. "He's coming with us, obviously. You want Din to get her filthy fingers on his Triforce piece and be twice as horrid as she is now? I think not. Besides, we could use someone competent in fighting, aside from Link and myself, in our group. I'm sure he could teach all of us a thing or two about combat. So how about, Zelda, instead of treating us all like your personal escorts again, you shut up and pretend to be the 'wise' ruler you claim to be - because right now, in front of me, all I see is an immature girl who doesn't have the first clue where wisdom comes from." She was asking for another fight, and she knew it, but before Zelda could attempt to formulate something in response, Ky had turned on her heel, heading back to the inn, following Link. She didn't care anymore about the princess's hurt feelings; She was going to go into her own sort of rage at the mention and sight of Ganondorf, it was going to fuel the silver-haired girl's own tenancies.

Ky was happy that Tori was mostly alright, if upset. She doubted she would care or even understand what had gone on with Ganon being possessed - The girl seemed to have no magical tenancies, and very little skill in the form of fighting. Ky doubted she would let Ganon help her to begin with. Silently, and still trying to calm herself down, Ky collected her now dry skirt, boots, gloves, and coat from where they had been set by the fire. She pulled the articles on sullenly - it was obvious that she was perturbed by something. It wasn't long before Link came over to collect his own clothes, and Ky reached out and grabbed his hand quickly, looking up at him sadly. "Can we talk quickly, please Link?" She asked meekly, looking away. "About my curse. Come on." Ky whispered, pulling him to the far side of the room from the others. She dropped his hand when they had walked the few dozen steps, her back to him as she pulled off her coat again.

"It's not really... It's hard to explain. It should have taken me over long ago - I shouldn't look as Hylian as I still do. The Forest turns children, who have wandered away from their families into Skull Kids if their parents don't come for them," She started slowly, pulling her hair over her right shoulder, so that Link could see all the black marks, like tendrils, spiraling over her back and arms. "I had been offering my own magic to the Forest to keep me looking... well, like you, I suppose. Since we were young. Most outsiders see it as a curse - those of in the forest see it as normal. I just... I wanted you to be able to recognize me if you came back. There's not much more to it than that, I think." Ky shrugged her jacket back on, and turned to face Link, though she still couldn't meet his eye. She was upset with herself for starting another row with the Princess. She sighed, folding her arms across her chest.

She heard Ganon enter, and she looked over at him. He met her gaze briefly, before looking away and heading to a vacant corner and sitting down on his own. Ky instantly felt a pang of guilt, for having roped the male into this. She looked up at Link, slowly reaching for his hand. She hoped against hope that he wasn't mad at her for not telling him about the curse earlier - there just hadn't been any time, really. "We should really keep an eye on Ganon - I don't like that he's being treated like this; I would have been treated the same way if Din had b=possessed me longer, I'm sure."

Seith

The Sage of Spirit

Seith thought for a moment on what Nightra said. it would be interesting to see what dark secrets this land held within its darkest temple although if they were to encounter another form like they just had it would be more difficult to go exploring. but Seith's curiosity could not be swayed on this matter so he nodded as his mask and Nightra's vanished. "it sounds like an excellent idea. from what i understand there is a graveyard that is used as the entrance for the temple. we will not know what illusions will be encountered here. interesting, isnt it?" Seith pulled Nightra in close to him as he slid his arms around her waist. as the symbols on Seith's body began to glow, they were both sucked up into the portals Seith was so familiar with as they were hurled towards their next destination. when they re-appeared it was in an old looking graveyard; one which may have not been used for years. Seith now wore his robes from before - both masks vanished during the transport. still Seith kept his arms wrapped around Nightra; partly to cover her till she changed, and partly enjoying the company.

Tiara: Sage Of Light

" I must protect everyone!"

Listening to Tori, she smiled as she patted her head softly, trying to calm down the shiekah girl.
" Atta girl, don't worry we will make sure you're taken care off. Next time we get a break I can teach ya how to sew and cook."
Turning her head to the opening door, she saw link coming over to their side, asking if Tori will be alright, she decided to let him talk to her, she already had Tori's attention all that time. Time for her to have some one's else's attention.
Getting up from her spot, she began to walk over to the fire place, snapping her fingers once more she had a small flame dancing on her finger and lit the fire place up, changing out of her clothes into her regular outfit.
Coming back into the room, she notice Ky with Link, speaking about keeping their eyes on Ganon.
" I'll do it Ky. Zelda isn't in the right place right now to think straight. I'll watch over him as the Sage Of Light, since I'm the second sage I can do that at least. Please. "
Turning her attention to Ganon, she began to walk over to his side, lacing her hands into his large palms, making him stand up from his spot.
" Come on Prince Ganon, you could help me find food so I can make breakfast for everyone. You must be really hungry, along with everyone else." She spoke warmly to him, making her way to the door with him, she turned her attention back to everyone, letting out a small giggle.
" Now everyone be good! I'll bring back food, maybe after breakfast we can go right away to the fire temple. But for now, OFF TO THE FOOD HUNT!" with that Tiara began to drag Ganon out of the door, letting out a joking evil laugh, making their way to the village.

Nightra: Dark Triforce Of Power

" I will shatter the chains of fate!"

Feeling the void suck them both in, as they formed out of the watery world to the world of the undead. The whole area felt calm, silent, not even one bird chirp could been heard. This place was truly the land of the dead and Nightra enjoyed it.
Feeling Seith's hands still wrapped around her waist, she had noticed she didn't form back into her regular outfit.
Underneath her feet the swirls of darkness began to dance around her like thread, reclothing her skin along with her crown lacing on her head.
Placing her hands on his, she gave him a gentle tug and pulled him close to her and held the small embrace there for a while, enjoying his body warmth till she broke free by stepping a head of him, wrapping her hands around his and began to walk towards the temple.
Seeing the wall infront of them, Nightra smirked as she began to float gently, raising herself over the fence and began to walk down the path way, still holding Seith's hand as they had found themselves in large entrance with torches surrounded them and a small stage.
Walking walking, her red hues scanned the walls, reading the Hylian words along the wall.
" "Shadow Temple... Here is gathered Hyrule's bloody history of greed and hatred..." My the old books were right, this land is forsaken. How in the world do the goddess's love this land? " Nightra spoke, her voice bouncing off of the walls.
" I must say this is a true Palace of darkness alright, I can feel all the energy here just screaming out to me. Don't you feel it too Seith?"

The young Rito awoke to sounds of chatter and giggles. Her crimson eyes fluttered open and a long yawn escaped from her mouth. She stretched her arms upwards and her legs out. Rubbing the blur from her eyes she looked around, almost confused as to where she was. As her vision became clear she could make out the fledglings surrounding here that were making all the noise she had awoke to. She was surprised to see them. It took her a moment to remember what had happened over the past two days. Her home was gone. She was at Lon Lon Ranch now. Kakariko had been evacuated due to recent eruptions. She exhaled a heavy sigh, but a smile appeared on her face as she looked over the fledglings excited and expectant faces.

"How have you all been?" Merui could hardly finish her sentence as the fledglings erupted in answers and basically tackled her in hugs. She laughed lightly, returning their embraces and ruffling their hair. They bombarded her with questions as to where she had been and what happened while she was gone. She did her best to quiet them, and once she had their full attention, she began to explain a bit of what had happened. She told them of the beautiful Lake Hylia and the Zoras she had seen and met there. They were descendants after all. She left out the draining of the Lake and the assassin of the previous night. She didn't want to say anything to scare the little ones. Last, she spoke of the friends she made. Dimitri, Reina, Darutna, and Nept. She called them her friends, but she wondered if she was being correct about using such a close term. She had only met them so recently. Were they her friends? Deciding not to trouble herself with it more, she began to look around for Clore. She figured she could introduce her to the fledglings rather than just talk about her, but the little Korok seemed to be nowhere in sight. "Why don't you all go have breakfast? I'm sure your parents are waiting. I can speak to you later, but I'm sure you're hungry." Merui smiled and the fledglings, although disheartened about leaving her side, flooded out the door and hurried towards the eatery where they seemed to be serving breakfast.

Rui sighed lightly and pulled her messenger bag over her shoulder. She checked to make sure all of the contents were still inside and organized it a bit. She added the milk bottle to it's contents. She would get it refilled when she went to get breakfast or before they left. Some of the letters were a bit ruined from the rain of the previous night. She would have to mail them sometime soon. There were probably people waiting for them and not sending them would be abandoning the duty her father gave to her. Maybe it wasn't a very important task, but it meant the world to her that he would trust with it. Rui adjusted the feathers in her hair, closing her eyes briefly and thinking of her father. She left the now near empty room and down the steps of the house. She wondered where Dimitri and everyone else were. Perhaps eating breakfast? Where had Clore gone? She opened the door of the house and made her way through the clutters of people, greeting the Rito and others of the Kakariko village that she came across.

"Miss Nhadala" Merui's heart seemed to stop when she heard the name being spoken. Am I hearing things? It can't be... Frantically she began to look through the crowd. There were too many people. She found herself bumping into nearly everyone. She made a surprisingly hard impact with someone and fell to the ground. She mumbled an apology but immediately got back on her feet. "Nhadala; just stay close to me, okay?" It was nearer now. She could make out a male's voice. Her breathing was unsteady. She could feel the beat of her heart resonating through her whole body. She followed the voice as closely as she could. Nearer and nearer. Finally she reached it. A little shed where she could hear the voices clearly. Her breathing felt so loud. Her whole body was shaking. She reached forward her trembling hand touching the door.

Rui pushed the door to the shed open. Her crimson eyes widened and her heavy breathing stopped. There she was. Sitting against the wall. She looked almost exactly like the young Rito remembered her. Ebony hair, tan skin, and amber eyes. "Nhadala..." She breathed the name almost silently. "It's really you..." Her legs seemed to move on their own. Small steps that quickened until she reached the Gerudo girl. She collapsed to her knees and pulled her into a tight hug. "I-I missed you... I missed you so much." Tears spilled down her cheeks. She was almost completely unaware of the two males in the room. All of her attention was focused on Nhadala.

'Tori"

✠Location: Kakariko Village
✠Theme:Break Your Little Heart- All Time Low

Toro stood up suddenly and walked over to the other side of the inn. She had a lot on her mind at that moment.

She had no blood family left. Tiara adopted her as a sister and was going to teach her the things Tori should have learned at ten, maybe eleven. She had no one to teach her about her Sheikah heritage. She was going to help Link and the princess herself save the world.

She was beginning to feel slightly overwhelmed. Yet, at the same time, she knew she was going to learn things to make her life, and the lives of the people around her, a lot better. Compared to living in the wild.

The young Zora was just about to get up from the bed to wash her face and try to calm down and create some space between her and Nept. It was rather unfortunate how they always appeared to get off on the wrong foot with each other. Reina wasn't normally this difficult around men, but something about the colorful Zora made Reina feel... nervous? Nept suddenly pulling her close to him didn't help matters, but when he started to hum, the sound of his voice just made her relax. That was something that she'd never outwardly tell the poor guy though. Reina would die of embarrassment if he ever found out that she loved his voice. Hearing what he had to say though made a huge wave of relief rush over her entire frame as she sighed softly, even leaning against the male.

"Really..?" Reina's big violet eyes shifted upward to stare into Nept's. Like she had to make sure that he was telling her the truth. As nice as he seemed to be, the bare truth of the matter was that they had only known each other for a little more than a day. With her history of trouble with men, the fiery Zora wasn't about to act too chummy with Nept just yet. All she wanted to do is make sure that she could trust him. "Wait... I... I tried to... but I don't remember any of that!! Oh Nept, I'm so sorry! You must think I'm awful!" Reina tilted her head slightly in confusion at the sight of Nept blushing but shrugged it off as she gently wiped her eyes and got the last of the sniffles out of her system with a small smile on her face. Her female intuition was telling her that the young man was being truthful in what he told her. The first time he claimed nothing happened, Reina had to admit she was skeptical. But once he insisted again that he didn't do anything to her, her body language grew more accepting.

"Okay, Nept. I believe you. After all... I have to remember that you did heal me over yourself. I still think that was completely idiotic of you to do since you're more hurt than I was, but I appreciate it. Ugh... we really keep getting off on the wrong foot, don't we? I may not act like it but..." she accepted the offer of the young man's hand then stood up in front of him with a sweet smile pursed on her lips, albeit her eyes were still rather red and puffy from crying. "I think you're very sweet.. when you're not yelling at me. And... thank you again for protecting me... I've just always had terrible experiences with men..." there was a certain taste of disdain in her voice as she mentioned her past troubles. Reina's face contorted into a somewhat painful expression while her violet eyes sadly drooped down at the floor. Even her fins began to droop significantly compared to their normal upright positions. The way the Zora saw it, Nept might have a better understanding of her if he knew exactly what she had been through.

After what seemed to be a long, hesitant pause, Reina sighed before rubbing her forearm nervously. "The other day, well, two men sort of forced themselves on me. Well, not quite as much as you might assume, but... ugh. The first was a rogue Sheikah that mistook my kindness for something more and the second... was the Evil King himself. He offered Dimitri a place in his council, but when he saw me... oh no, he didn't offer anything like that. He said that he could keep a spot on his bed for me and do things to my "wondrous body"." Reina shook her head condescendingly, biting her bottom lip until it reddened. "That's all people see when they look at me: a pretty fish girl with a great figure. I know that's not something to complain about but it becomes so tiring when nobody bothers to get to know the real you... For five years I've had to deal with men staring, whistling, a smack on the behind. Every now and then some are bold enough to grab me if I don't welcome their stupid banter. So hopefully you can see why I was less than thrilled to hear you flirting with me when we first met. Admit it, Nept. What was the first thing that crossed your mind when you saw me?" there was no twinge of bitterness in her tone when Reina asked Nept that question as she was merely trying to make a point. The offer of food, however, made her attitude change almost completely. Reina managed to smile sweetly at the male Zora as she chimed, "Breakfast sounds.. nice. By the way, Nept? Um... you, uh... you sing good." she gingerly patted him on the shoulder as she wasn't sure what else to do while she tried her best not to blush. Without any warning though, the fiery Zora turned on her heel and started to walk out of the room and downstairs to go and get a much needed warm meal to settle her headache.

Seith

The Sage of Spirit

Seith looked about as he too felt the dark energy gathering about; it called out to all those of a darker power. but something else here caught Seith's attention, perhaps it was the fact this temple was kin to the one he used as a home. it could even be the sage bound that he supposedly had. either way there was dark magic here. and a dark history that Seith had to uncover. all they needed to do was find the entrance and they would be half way there to discovering what else Hyrule hid from its people.
allowing Nightra to pull him about like a child with her doll Seith kept a focused eye for any kind of magic that would endanger the two. all he could see though were the mixed macis of the temple as well as the Nightra's own. whatever was here must be old which meant would hold some significance. Seith could not wait. "yes i can feel it too, though it does not scream out in a very welcoming way. nothing like back home."

[Pink perfume tea]

" Then the more insperation for us to get inside then. " Nightra spoke almost in a gleeful tone.
Letting Seith's hand fall from his she began to expect around the room. There had to be a way to get inside but how?
Her attention was turned over to the torches, something had made her want to walk over to it.
Placing her hands on the yellow steel, feeling it, running her hands over the coal that seemed to never be touched by anyone for a long time then it hit her.
A clue or some type of key
" Seith I think I figure it out! I know how to get inside" Nigjtra spoke in a rare excitement tone.
Walking over to him she had a rare widen smile as she wrapped her hands around his.
" I want you to help me with this. To do it together, we need to spark all the torches here. "

Lycoris woke early in the morning. Feeling lightheaded, she leaned forward, burying her head in face in her palms. When did I fall asleep? After a few moments she pulled her face up and looked down to her torso. She had received the most injury in her torso. Her blood-soaked white dress was enough to prove she had been injured greatly. She undid her red hood and set it on the ground. She winced as she stood. Her whole body was in pain. It felt as though she had a million broken bones. Leaning downwards she grasped the hem of the dress and pulled it up over her head, leaving her in her undergarments and boots. The Sheikah collasped back into the hay and inspected her wounds. She could tell that she had broken a rib. That was the worst of her injuries. The rest were cuts and bruises, but nothing more than flesh wounds. Nonetheless she needed to bandage the rib. She grabbed her roll of bandages and wrapped the remainder of them around her torso. Her injured rib would take a while to heal, but the bandages would help.

Those people will recognize me if I keep this appearance and wear those clothes. Not to mention they're stained with blood. I can't exactly be walking around in them. A sigh escaped from the female's lips. Sacrifices needed to be made. She stood in the corner of the barn. A place where dust had piled up with old hay and a smell of must. She held the her dagger up and cut the front of her hair to the midst of her neck. The silvery white hair fell to the ground. She turned and collected her clothes, weapons, and other supplies. Lycoris started towards the door of the barn only to see a bloodied blanket wrapped around a corpse nearby the door. The smell was awful. She wasn't sure how she hadn't noticed it earlier. Perhaps she'd grown accustomed to the smell of death. She knew exactly whom it was. The owner of the ranch. There was no time to stay and look. I can't feel regrets or sorrow. Taking a deep breath she averted her eyes from the corpse and pushed open the door of the barn and stared out towards the horizon. The sun was just peeking out. It would light the dark sky before she knew it. I need to hurry. She darted through the empty, silent ranch, keeping to the shadows so not to be seen.

It wasn't long before Lycoris reached the scene of the night before. It was the only place she could think of. It smelled of blood. It either belonged to her or the Zoras. She stepped near the forge where the coals were still burning ever so slightly. It took a few times for her to catch a spark, but once she did, the fire roared to life. First she threw in her bow and arrows. It just added more flames to the fire. She had to get rid of them, since she had killed the man with the same arrows, and she couldn't hide the bow like she could her daggers. She threw in the white dress and watched as the flames devoured it until nothing was left but ash. She hesitated, pressing her red hood to her chest and closing her eyes. It was given to her by the organization and, besides her daggers and bow, all she had left of them, but she had no choice. None of her victims usually survived, and no one was ever to get a description of her, but this cloak would probably be what those people would remember most about it. Such a vibrant, beautiful, unforgettable red. Without opening her eyes she threw the hood into the fire and turned away, refusing to watch it burn.

Eventually, Lycoris found a room that belonged to the owner of the ranch. It was unoccupied, unlike the others. She opened the closet and looked through the clothes to find something suitable for her. Eventually she collected an outfit along with a few ribbons. It consisted of a white button up shirt, red suspenders, and baggy red pants with a white pattern. She kept on the leather boots she found in Castle Town. Standing in front of the mirror she began to tie her hair with the ribbons. The largest bow was tied atop her head. The smaller ones tied down her hair. She looked at herself in the mirror when she was done. Completely different. She almost didn't recognize herself. The new clothes hid all of her wounds. She appeared completely unharmed. Her daggers were hid under the pants by her thighs like always. This should be enough. Lycoris turned on her heel and left the room, and house altogether. I should blend in. Everyone will be waking up soon, and those people will be among them. They shouldn't recognize me like this. The Sheikah made her way to the eatery and sat down by the door. She leaned back against the wall, closing her eyes and allowing herself to relax.

In all his years in the Castle, Ganon had never been treated as cruelly by Zelda as this. Her words struck him as hard as physical blows would have, and it was only due to his own rough upbringing that he held back the tears of shame, regret, and remorse that threatened to pour forth. Instead, when Zelda spoke of him destroying everything she loved, he cringed and looked away, his bright orange eyes staring at a rather plain looking blade of grass. "I loved them too, Zelda. Do you forget that I spent my childhood being raised by your father? He was the father I never had - If I had had control of myself, I would have sooner killed myself than him, and you KNOW that. How many assassination attempts on him or you did I foil?" His words we're powerful, but Ganon merely whispered them, his arms hanging at his sides. He knew it was going to take time for Zelda to realize that he couldn't have done anything, and oh, how he ha wanted to. 

He heard her words as he turned and left, a proverbial knife through his heart. He couldn't let it show, though. As he got changed into the Desert Walker clothing, he couldn't help but look at the ornate dark armor that Din had clad him in. She had told him, once, that she hadn't planned on possessing him, that she had merely wanted him to be her willing General; though when he refused to kill the king, she took control of him and did the ask herself, using the Prince's body. When he tried to ask why she chose him, Din had merely laughed, without giving a real answer. Sighing as he wrapped the scarf over his head and around his mouth and neck, Ganon left the Gerudo outpost and headed back to the group, standing across the small space from Zelda, behind Ky, Tiara, and Link. It astounded him, how good it felt to be in control of himself again - despite how crappy he was feeling about everything else. 

When Zelda asked about why Din would turn against we sisters, Ganon looked at her, head tilted to the side. That question had an obvious answer, though he smiled when Ky gave hers. "It's simple, Zelda. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Din felt her sisters creations were inferior to her own, like Kyrie has suggested; she created the Gerudo and the Desert in secret, deciding that we were her perfect race of people. We called her the Goddess of the Sand. She fashioned the women to be in her likeness - what with the flaming red hair and bright eyes. She's vain, from what I observed." Ganon shrugged, not thinking much of his own answer. There were a million theories surrounding why the Gerudo existed - and who had really created them. Ganon had found out quite a bit from Din about his people. 

When Zelda spoke of the day when Ganon had tried - and sort of succeeded in taking the Triforce, his eyes went wide with shock, and he blinked at her. "I don't honestly remember that day, Zelda - I... Din was already slowly starting to take me over. It started when you father insisted I take courses on the Goddesses and how they created Hyrule, so I understood Hylians better. It was a whisper at first, like when you swear someone calls your name, but they're not. It escalated to blackouts after a year or so, and then... Everything else." It was obvious that the Prince wasn't lying - he had always been horrible at it anyway, and he knew Zelda and Tiara could tell when he was lying or not. 

Link spoke quickly after Zelda, and Ganon nodded at his words. Of course he would tell them whatever he could remember. Though, when Kyrie stepped up to Zelda and tore a strip off of her, Ganon flinched, though he wasn't surprised at the silver-haired girl's reaction; she was raised by the forest, essentially a Skull Kid without looking like one. Rage and Joy would be her only two familiar emotions. Ganon had noticed how close she was with Link, and idly wondered if she was becoming more Hylian - starting to experience a wider range of emotions. As he followed Kyrie away, he looked at Zelda one last time, his pale orange eyes locking on her blue ones briefly, giving away all his sadness, before he looked away.

Ganon was lost in his thoughts again as he sat down in the inn, mulling over everything that he could remember about what Din had told him and let him see. Nhadala... Kokuei.... Celesyr..... Those poor kids. He hoped they were out of the Castle. He didn't know what type of rage that Din would bestow upon the trio in the fury of losing her pawn. Ganon's next thought was that he should thank Kyrie for her small kindness - forcing the others to let him stay, but he would do that later. He ignored the others conversations, and as such, was startled when Tiara took his hand and forced him to stand, insisting that he go with her to find food. Ganon stood, head and shoulders taller than the girl, and he nodded silently as she lead him to the door, announcing to everyone where they were going. Ganondorf didn't look behind them, letting Tiara lead him out the door, back into the Ruins of Kakariko. 

Once outside, Ganon sighed heavily, pulling Tiara back into another hug. "Thank you. Just... Thank you. I don't even know how to begin articulating how I'm feeling or how perturbed I am by all of this. I know Zelda won't forgive me. Ever. More than once, I felt like I should have never have agreed to come to the Castle to study. All of this would have been avoided..." He murmured against the side of her head. Ganon didn't need to say that he was also glad that she had pulled him back outside - he couldn't stand the incredulous looks he was getting from half of the group. Sighing once more, he let his friend go. "I don't even have the first idea where to start looking for food - and I am NOT killing a cucco. Those things are vicious, and just... I've had enough blood on my hands as of late."

Tiara

" I must protect everyone!"

Walking outside it felt nice to get away from the stares everyone was giving it felt relaxing though seeing the old town that her father found her being destroyed tugged at her heart strings but that could be remade, she was hopping the people got out safely.
When walking down through out the village she heard Ganon giving a hard sigh as he wrapped his arms around her body, hearing Ganon thank her more then once as he explained what he shouldnt have done.
Feeling him pull away and talking about not killin a cuco she could clearly understand.
Wrapping her hand around his once more she continued their walk through out the village, looking for food.
" Prince Ganon you know how Princess Zelda is. Even when she was young her majesty would be stubborn like a bull but please don't beat your self over this. But not to sound cruel but this is the goddess we are mentioning we don't know what she could do. So please Prince Ganon don't be so cruel to yourself. " looking back over to him she wrapped her arms around him once more , placing her forehead against his upper chest.
" So please Prince Ganon don't be punishing over yourself. Princess Zelda isn't herself as it is right now and her mind isn't either but when she calms down she will regain her true self but please know even if people will be against you just know I won't. You will be the prince I forever know and always look up too. Now
Come sleepy head lets go find food. " Pulling herself away she still held Ganon's hand. Around higher state people she couldn't allow herself to bring shame to ther name by saying their nicknames.
Finding their way through the village Tiara found an apple tree. Smiling brightly she let go of te princes hand and began to climb it, plucking some off as her hands began to fill up.
Looking down from the branch, she smirked as se let herself jump off from the height and landed perfectly.
" Ok got some apples time to look for some ot-" her words got cut off as a cuco passed
Then by when Tiara walked, making herself trip over the bird, causing the apples to fly everywhere which didnt please the cuco as some of them fell and clonked on the head, making the bird angry as it began to peck and bite at her leg causing Tiara to let out a sherik as she jumped up on her feet and began to run around with the bird chasing after her. It looked something out of a old cartoon by the way it looked as suddenly Tiara ran over towards Ganon, jumping up and wrapping herself around him, scared and trembling as the bird was trying to jump up and get her.
" PROTECT ME FROM THE DEMON BIRD PRINCE GANON!!" Tiara sheriked,her body trembled like a leaf.

When Reina's bright violet eyes locked on his blue ones, Nept smiled involuntarily. It was true that they were pretty much strangers, and that they had known each other MAYBE twenty-four hours, if that - but Nept couldn't help but be drawn to this rather interesting girl. "Don't worry about it, Reina - promise. I don't think you're awful - what would make you think that? I stopped drinking for a reason; I didn't like who I became when I drank. I was also younger, and a bit of a moron. Okay, a lot of a moron." He patiently let her wipe her eyes, Just watching for a moment, before looking away, around the room. Dimitri was gone - and Nept found himself wondering if the Hylian was in any shape to be up and off on his own. 

Nept's eyes were drawn back to Reina when she spoke to him about believing him, and he smiled brightly, relieved. Though when she brought up the fact that he was stupid for healing her instead, again, Nept shook his head. "Stop telling yourself that - cuts heal. You had a ton of electricity pumped through your already wet body. You would have... Yeah, we need to stop getting off in some kind of argument - I really don't like fighting with anyone, much less someone I may have a potential relationship o any sort with. Makes life more difficult." He murmured, adverting his eyes again. He couldn't finish the sentence. Did Reina even realize just HOW badly she had been hurt? Probably not. He sighed, smile returning when she told him that she thought he was sweet - he chose to ignore the point about it being when he wasn't yelling at her, as that was still a sore spot with him - and he tilted his head slightly. "That means a lot, Reina. Thank you. I'm sure people have told you, but you're quite feisty - it's refreshing. You're fun to be around." 

He watched her demeanor change drastically, and his smile vanished, replaced with concern at the look on her face. When she spoke, it was of, he assumed, the events that transpired before his arrival at Lake Hylia. "Reina... I'm so sorry - I had no idea. If I had, I would have restrained myself better, I assure you. I.." He was interrupted as she continued talking, about how she had always had problems with men, and when she asked Nept what his first thoughts on seeing her had been, he smiled brightly. "Honestly? I went, 'Oh hey! Another Zora!' in my head, and then... Well, I saw your eyes. They're an extraordinary colour. The next though that crossed after that was that I wanted to talk to you, and after that, when I was over the initial shock of seeing a Zora so soon at the Lake, was that you really were quite beautiful. Hence the stupid comments." He shrugged as he babbled, standing and pulling Reina up with him as he asks her about getting breakfast. He was happy that she wanted to, though instantly, she turned on her heel and left him standing alone for a moment. 

Stunned, Nept chased after her, folding his arms over his chest as he walked beside her. Looking at all the other faces, Nept was a little shocked at how busy the place was. Three kids tore off to a shed near them and he couldn't help but smile - they were probably hiding from their parents or something. Cute. He followed Reina to what appeared to be where they were serving food, and instinctively he looked around again. As he did, he spotted Dimitri, who was waving them over to his table. Nept took Reina's hand silently, leading her over to the Hylian. "Dimitri's here - stay close - this place is a madhouse." He laughed quietly, tugging softly on her hand. As they approached Dimitri, Nept waved with his free hand, before pulling out Reina's chair, letting her sit, and then sitting beside her, across from Dimitri. 

"Either you've had a few cups of coffee, Dimitri, or you didn't drink as much as you let on. Who's your new friend?" Nept asked, reaching his hand out to the girl to shake it. "Hi! I'm Nept."
