Throwing the curtain over his left shoulder, Assis painstakingly climbed his way up onto the horse's back. He gave her a quick pat before whispering into her ear what would seem like incoherent gibberish to a Hylian. With that, they trotted off toward the field through the narrow pathway out of Lake Hylia. At this relaxed pace, they might reach town by nightfall, if they were lucky.
- After the narrow path opened up into Hyrule Field, Assis' attention turned to the knife in his shoulder. The wound was deep, and there was a chance he would never be able to use that arm again in his life. But, then again, he could pay a visit to an old friend out in the desert who might be able to help him. The old fairy in the shrine outside of the sacred Temple had the power to heal, and she might be willing to help him, if his aura were bright enough by the time he got there.
- The blood of his past had stained his spirit in a way that nothing but the gods themselves could wash him if his deeds. Still, if his intentions were of a good cause, if his heart was true in saving this land from the evil which plagues it, the Great Fairy just might be willing to restore his arm. Unfortunately, his prior engagements were of far too much importance to be stalled by physical ailments.
- On second thought, his father was a man of power. Could he not ask him for.....? No, he could not seem weak. He had to remain strong in his image. Get in, say what must be said, then get out. Whatever happens, the one thing he wouldn't be lying about is, at least, the fact that he is the son of the man who brought this curse upon Hyrule.
- As he rode through the field towards Romani Ranch, Assis had figured out how he would hide the fact that his arm had been incapacitated. Although, first things first, he had to remove the knife. There would be blood, and lots of it.
- Assis pulled the horse up to the outer wall south of the ranch, where he lowered himself down from her back. At the top of the slope, he took a seat against the wall of rock, setting the curtain down next to him. Before even touching the knife, he knelt forward, pushing his right knee down into the curtain under him, then pressing his left foot further down the length of the cloth. With his left hand, he took another dagger from his belt, cutting a strip of cloth out long-ways from the side of the curtain. He put the dagger back, keeping the cloth stretched out on the grass before him while the horse wandered back down the hill. She was unsure about her new rider, simply for the fact that he had taken her closer to the source of evil coming from the castle up north.
- Finally, Assis took the knife in his shoulder by the handle, carefully tightening his grip as he prepared to remove it. There was only one way this was going to work without further damaging the tissue. He pulled out away from his self, while gradually bending down towards the ground. Adding this extra bit of leverage was all he'd needed to take the blade out from the bone. Once it was out of the bone, Assis slid the blade, spitting and screaming, the rest of the way out of the tissue. This caused the horse to shy away at a walking pace. Still, it'd gotten him this far, all he needed was to get out so that he could dress his wound.
- Perhaps, if she returned to the lake on her own, she might find someone who would take better care of her. After all, she'd had no saddle, and nothing to suggest ownership. Perhaps she was wild, and the fisherman had simply allowed her to graze in his yard. For now, she waited down at the bottom of the slope of grass, not seeming to be sure of what she even wanted to do.
- Regardless of the horse, Assis had to stop this bleeding. He had no flame or hearth with which to cauterise the wound, so he wrapped the strip of cloth he'd cut from the curtain as tightly as he could around his shoulder. As tightly as he could was limited to using his knees and left arm to pull a knot. As for a splint, he would have to make a side-trip to find a board, or piece of wood which was small enough to fit under his arm. Perhaps within the Ranch, there was something he could use? There was no evidence of destruction from out here. Which, to him, was odd. It seemed as if everything around the Ranch itself was reduced to rubble and ash, yet this large wall of rock had somehow prevented the chaos from reaching its inhabitants. Was that even possible?
- Whatever..... he didn't have much choice. Without a splint, a fractured bone could lead to a lethal infection. Taking the rest of the curtain as a make-shift cloak, he gradually made his way over toward the horse, eyeing him suspiciously as if unsure what to make of him now. He appproached her just as slowly as he did before, sure to make no sudden movements. The same, except for he had cloth over his upper-body. Luckily, there was no blood seeping through the outer cloth. He had done well in tightening the knot over his shoulder. Now, all he had to worry about was the blood on his pants and feet, not to mention his hands and arms, and just under his chin. One might think he'd gotten more of his own blood on himself than what'd spilled out on the ground.
- Fortunately, the horse made no arguement when he stood beside her, stroking her mane with his left hand as his right hung lifelessly to the side. With a quick hop, he lifted himself up onto her back, keeping his hand planted firmly on the nape of her neck as he leaned forward, signaling her to take stride. Around the wall they went, where soon they would be at the front door to the mysteriously untouched Ranch within.

Envy smiled, kissing him back. Her ears suddenly perked up. "Did... I just hear a scream?" She asked, looking around. She suddenly felt her ears pin against her head, wondering what could be wrong.
Opal made her way to the hospital without killing many people. The good in her only wounded the people of the clouds, and did not kill them. "Stupid girl... If you can't kill anyone... then kill Link..." She murmured, to herself as if there was too sides to her body.

Black tilted his head a bit. "I don't know. Do you want to check it out?" He asked as he looked around with his eyes. He didn't see anything suspiscious, just Opal walking around Sky World. And h knew how frequently Opal would do that.
... is to truly see that person.

"Let go... I'm worried..." Envy said, taking Black's hand rushing towards the Hospital where Link was being held. She hears a scream in a peaceful world like the clouds? Something was up, and it felt like Ganondorf. But she wasn't sure that one of Ganondorf's minions could reach the sky city like this. So what was it? She felt like she was on edge. She had to make sure Link was alright.

Link forgot to about his broken ribs and his throbbing headache. He grabbed the light-weight sword as some sort of defence and wormed through the halls to find the scource of screaming. His natural instincts told him to help.

Black quickly followed after Envy, though, 'followed' wouldn't be the correct word. More like, 'was dragged', through Sky World. "Can you hear anything else yet?" He asked. He still couldn't see anything, other than Opal.

Tenser took a deep breath, then smiled.
"Alright, I'm good. Let's go!"
His stomach already protested just looking at the portal, but he didn't listen to it.

"... There you are... Aw, you're much taller than me, this turn out to be a disadvantage... oh well, he did say your were weak..." Opal said, stepping into the hall, almost running right into Link. She had to look up at him, holding her weapons in her hands. Blood dripping off it, but she quickly wiped it from the blades. "Die... Hero of Time..." She murmured, tossed the blades directly towards his chest.
Envy moved even faster. "No..." She said, blinking seeing people withering on the ground, wounded by a blade... no, two blades. She let go of Black's hand, rushing over to them. "O-Opal..." was all they muttered before blacking out from blood loss.
Eva nodded, making sure he was ready, taking his hand gently and pulled him through the shadows.

Black's eyes widened. "Opal!? What do you mean? Did something happen to her?" He shouted, but received no answer in return. All of them had already passed out. Black growled a bit and turned toward Opal's direction. "Come on!" He said before rushing off.

Link didn't have enough time to escape scotch free. He held his right arm up, letting the blades hit his arm rather than his chest. "Who are you?" Link demanded as he rolled behind her and slashed his light-weight sword at her back. He quickly ran around the corner and sprinted as fast as he could down the hall. He wasn't in the condition to fight, especially after rolling. Link's ribs were already hurting.

Opal's wind blades spun around and blocked the sword that slashed against her back. She caught the other wind blade in her hand, seeing Link's blood drip off the blade. "Not enough..." She whispered seeing Link run off. She lifted herself up and followed after him. "Opal... daughter of the wind god..." She murmured floating next to him. She blasted him towards the wall. "You really are weak... running away from a little girl." Opal said, landing in front of him and lifted up her wind blade but froze. "Damn girl..." She murmured, fighting her good side once again.
Envy nodded, following after him quickly. She heard shouting that sounded like Link, and Opal's voice.
(Oh and Dioji don't forget Vaati for Sheikah)

Black darted through the hospital until he found Opal and Link. "Opal!" He shouted, seeing the blood on her. "What in Din's..." He shook his head in slightly confusion. "What happened to you!?" He nearly demanded to know.

Vaati wasn't sure what to say. It was all in his head when he called him, but now it disapepared. "It's good. The guardian of the wind element is now on our side. She's already gone to finish Link off since she's the only one who can get up there. Just thought you would like an update."
Link pushed Opal aside and held his sword to her throat. "You know her?" He asked, glancing at Black. He breathing became heavy as he struggled to breath properly; his workout early already exhausted him.

Ganondorf nodded his head. "I see... Good, though, you could have made that out to be a bit more sinister." He said before turning and walking off again. "Soon, Link will die. Whether it be by Vaati's new puppet, or by my hand." He muttered to himself.To see into one's soul...
Black nodded as he stood there, overwhelmed by Opal's actions. He shook his head and stared at Opal. "Why are you doing this?" He asked. She used to be the very definition of a sweet little girl, but what had happened to make her change?

Envy saw Link push his sword up to Opal's throat. She didn't look like the innocent scared girl she had met. She now look sinister, and ready to kill at will. And the lust in her eyes was directed towards Link. Envy looked at the sword pressed to her throat. "Link no! She's innocent!" Envy shouted, but wished her words were true. Nothing was innocent about the little girls eyes.
Opal felt the sword up to her throat, laughing at Black's question "Happened to me? I grew up... I met someone who let the side that was no longer fearful, and innocent... out." She said, looking at Black. She let her blades drop but they didn't hit the ground. Instead they flew up and circled around, one blade directing towards Black, and the other towards Link's back.
