Link turned back to the princes and nodded, slight fear in his eyes brought on by his companions, "Red door it is." With that, he took a deep breath and turned the knob.

The handle turned and opened. It revealed nothing but a poorly lit hallway. It had nothing suspicious. Just a few rugs, and some shadows.
Moria glared in. "Can't see much. Who should go first?"

"I will, as long as Gus stays nearby, I should be able to see fine," Link replied, staring at the yellow fairy floating near his head. "You'd better keep yours near ya'll as well." And with those words of warning, the boy entered the hall.

Zelda followed cautiously, staying close to the light source. Her heart was hammering uncomfortably in her chest. "Link? Um... I should probably mention something..."

"What is it," Link smiled back. It was the least he could do, as it was obvious to anyone with eyes she was nervous.

((Sorry I haven't posted. Don't really have an excuse... Or am to lazy to make one up.))
Artanis sat on top of a random building in the food district of Castle Town, trying to keep his eyes open. That was something he hadn't banked on, his need to stay awake constantly to keep one step ahead of the girl with the compass. He'd have to relieve her of it soon, before he became too sleep deprived to beat her.

Artemis smirked at the reflection staring at her from the mirror as she dressed. Her long red hair was still damp from the water, and unfortunately, in the much cooler lands of Hyrule, it would take much longer to dry. But still, she felt it was her responsibility to report her sucess to her leader. Ten minutes later, she was being lead down the vast halls of the castle to Gannondorf's temporary chambers.

Moria glanced at her fairy. It glowed dark green, and was sticking close to her. "Right." They moved further down the hallway, and they found themselves turning downward, as though going into a helix. The lighting became even worse the further they got. Strange creakings were beginning to ensue. It sounded like wood bending in the wind, first one way, then the other. Moria looked only slightly less nervous than Zelda herself.

Before Zelda even had a chance to respond, the creeking began. Something definetly not right. Link held up his hand to the princess as if to tell her to keep quiet then suddenly stopped in his tracks. The fairies light simple would not due, he needed a stronger source, even if only for a moment. From his bag imerged the staff of light. Almost automatically, he aimed the beam it emitted around the room, revealing small portions at a time. slowly, he turned the becon, waiting to see if something would emerge.

Nothing. The walls were made of wood panels, although how they were connected was uncertain. However, the further out they got, the more the feeling arose that the room was moving. The passageway suddenly straightened out, although it was still leading downwards.
Moria stared ahead. "What is this? I don't think we're actually in the same building anymore..."

"No, I don't think we are either," Link admitted,. In one swift motion, he put the staff away, holding an item such as that would only be a detriment if they were attacked, "But I don't see how we have any choice but to move on."
(Btw did you see I posted as Artemis?)

((Ah.))
Ganondorf turned as Artemis entered his room. He had apparently been doing naught but brooding, which seemed to consume large amounts of his time anymore. None had yet reported, and it was starting to worry him. Artemis' appearance was timely and pleasing.
"Have you something to report?" he asked, standing to greet her.
Moria shrugged, apparently in agreement. Down the path they went, and the motion only became more noticeable. It continued until motion sickness began setting in. And then suddenly there was creacking, and the nose of bending metal, and the floor began to fall away as further ahead, the passage walls, floor, and ceiling split in unison. Light poured in from outside, but not bright enough to be direct sunlight; they were still under the canopy. The brand new end of the tunnel pointed outward, revealing a fall far down into the mists. And behind them, the floor was breaking, almost in sequence, almost as though it were supposed to do that. Moria shouted something about jumping for it, but the noise of breaking wood was too great to hear it. More and more the shrubbery far, far below revealed itself as Moria pushed past Link in a bid for safety at the end of the tunnel.

Link could feel the panic setting in as the floor began to collapse. This was no place for him. What business did a little farmboy have marching through temples and protecting Princesses. Nothing, that's what...no, now was not the time for self doubt. Almost by instinct, the Hero clasped his hand on the princess's and began to bolt after the Kokiri.
Artemis bowed honorably before answering. "The Light Sage has been secured," she reported, and yet still, there was something else she felt needed to be noted, even though it may come off disrespectful. "However, I would not be a good soldier if I did not tell you the truth. I do not see how this boy could help you in reaching your goal, it is obvious to me that the boy shows very little wisdom and is fairly insolent... as I'm sure you will remember from our earlier encounter last evening," she added, hoping the man would make the connection to the Sage's identity.

Zelda managed to avoid screaming as the tunnel collapsed, but it was a very close thing. She had been waiting for something like that to happen, and the suspense had been horrible; actually, she almost felt better now. Her expression grim, she started sprinting to keep up so that Link wouldn't pull her arm out of it's socket.

((Man... sorry about the delay.))
"Hey! Wait up!" Gustave yelled out, and chased after the group... "Man... Why are they running?" Gustave thought aloud. He looked down, and noticed the floor. "Ah. right." He muttered, and slowly flew after them.
