Lay of the Land
This is modified from the Spirit Tracks world map.
At the center of the sprawling land of Hyria is THE UNIVERSITY OF HYRIA, a huge center of learning and other scholarly activities.
TRAIN TRACKS crisscross the land, operated by the Hyrian Train Co. The company also offers passenger service to and from anywhere in Hyria.
Green Province
Just a short train ride away from the University, HYRIA CITY, a thriving metropolis, serves as the economical center of the country.
A train ride through the countryside brings you to the town of WHITTLETON, which is best known for exporting lumber to all parts of Hyria.
Head west to find FOREST TOWN, a modern city with lighted cobblestone streets and a variety of people. It's not nearly as old as some of the other towns in Green Province.
Further south is ABODA, a farming settlement on the edge of the map. It is a popular tourist destination in the summer months for its quaint feel.
North is the FOREST SANCTUARY, an old ruin rarely visited by anyone.
Towards Blue Province, the MARKETPLACE stands where the Trading Post once stood, a huge center of commerce and trading. Merchants from all over Hyria set up shop here to try to sell their wares; you can find just about anything.
White Province
The biggest settlement in the White Province is ANOUKI VILLAGE, which is the hometown of the Anouki people indigenous to White Province. Just north is the ancient SNOW SANCTUARY.
Far to the north is SNOW CITY, a multileveled, mountainous city built on the site of the ancient Snow Temple.
WELLSPRING VILLAGE is also located in White Province, a town that features a beautiful waterfall.
Red Province
The urban center of Red Province is GORON CITY, the home of the indigenous Gorons. Death Mountain is the main feature of this area, atop which FIRE VILLAGE sits, a lofty town at the peak of the volcano at which only the brave reside. The FIRE SANCTUARY ruins are found to the northwest.
Blue Province
PAPUCHIA VILLAGE is the biggest settlement in Blue Province, a fishing village on the sea and popular tourist destination. Close by is the OCEAN SANCTUARY, an old ruin rarely visited. Farther east is OCEAN TOWN, a town on the water near the center of Blue Province. The famously mysterious Underwater Train Tracks can be found here, and people come from many parts of the world to see them, though none can derive why someone would put train tracks underwater.
To the north of Blue Province is the beaches, where the ruins SAND SANCTUARY can be found. Not many people live in this area.

A large house with a manicured lawn sat near the edges of Hyria City, iron gates surrounding the property. An automobile pulled up to the gates. The gates opened to let in the vehicle, and it pulled up to the front of the mansion. A young man came out of the building and got into the car.
The young man had thick brown hair, which framed his boyish face. He wore small, wire-frame spectacles which went over his light brown eyes. His attire consisted of a dark brown trenchcoat fastened with shiny brass clasps, straight black trousers tucking into a pair of simple leather shoes.
The driver of the automobile got out and opened the door for the man. "Where to, Master Faron," he asked.
"The station," the young man replied simply. "I'm headed back to the University."
"You never stay away for long, Master Faron," the driver chuckled.
"You just got back home. I would think you would stay awhile longer."
"No time to waste," Faron smiled. The car started and they exited the grounds, towards the center of Hyria City. He was Faron Rialsta III, the heir to the immense Rialsta fortune. Although he preferred the dusty halls of the Hyrian University to the prestigious Rialsta Estate. He was a scholar at heart, a historian and archaeologist.
The pit-patter of the automobile's engine stopped, and the driver turned around. "We are at the Station, sir," he said. "Good luck."
Faron nodded and exited the car, setting off straight for the ticket counter.
"One ticket to the University," the scholar said, sliding a purple Rupee over the counter. "Keep the change," he said, smiling and taking his ticket.
Today was going to be a good day.
His train didn't leave for ten minutes. Faron went casually over to the bulletin board of Hyria Station, where local events and notices were posted. Faron reached into his satchel and pulled out a paper printed with the message:
"Conference at the Hyria University. Hosted by Faron Rialsta III, Dpt. of Hyrule Studies. Today at 5pm Sharp. Important Archeological Find Unveiled. All are welcome. Refreshments will be served."
Faron smiled and posted the notice to the board and went to find his train.
"Yes, today will be a good day."

Draco had finally arrived at the Train Station and bought a ticket to the University. After he strolled over to the News Board to see what was going on today.
"Hmm, It seems that they are holding a conference of some sort in an hour. Is it public or am i not allowed?" Draco asked Faron.

A voice drilled into Faron's ear, a hollow voice that made the historian feel a little uneasy. "The- the conference? Why, it is public, yes," he said, turning around. He faced the source of the voice, a foreign looking young man. The man seemed to be a few years younger than he, but somewhat intimidating nonetheless. He smiled. "You would be quite welcome," he said. "Ah, I see you are a lover of history as well." The scientist held out his hand. "Faron Rialsta III, historian and archaeologist," he said, his tone professional.
ooc: please try not to make really short posts like that. they are hard to reply to.

Draco shook the mans hand and said,
"Why thank you, I suppose i'll see you at the conference. If you need any help with cost of anything i am at your service."
Draco took out his sword and threw some practice swings in, making a black triforce symbol on the wall before walking back over to Faron.
"Excuse me, Mr. Rialsta, but could you please tell me your race? I don't know if there are still any of the old races from when i came here a while back." He said.
(OOC: Sorry if it is a little short, i couldn't think of anything else to say. I'll try harder in future posts.)

"Cost?" Faron repeated, indignant. "Have you not heard of the Rialsta family? One of the oldest and respected in Hyria. I assure you, sir, I require no assistance."
Faron found the man a little odd, glancing at his handiwork on the wall. "You can't go around writing on the station walls, good fellow. You are sure to attract the wrong kind of attention. I see you have inscribed a Hylian symbol," he noted, examining it. "Ah, you are a lover of history. Forgive me," he apologized, looking back to the man. "What an odd thing to ask. I am human, just as you. Whatever do you mean by old races?"
ooc: and that is all I ask. also, maybe describe your character a little? I admit I'm a bit curious as to what he looks like ^^;

Draco walked off a ways and paced back.
"Well if you must know i was in Majora after Linnk left hyria or Hyrule as it was called then, and he took me back with him to look at the sights. I can't describe the races. They were called the Gorons and Zora's also there were the Kokiri, but they were just basically small humans."
Draco pushed his hair out of his eyes and paced some more.
"I have honestly only heard of Malon Rialsta... He was a friend of mine... but that was back when the world was ruled by twilight. Have you not heard of the Forelli family? I changed my name after i turned 17 which sealed this look to me unless i forcibly change it. As for your race, I simply asked because i thought you looked like an old ... err colleague of mine per say. If you insist you're human than never mind, you can't be him." Draco stated before walking over to the triforce symbol.
Upon sensing the presence of draco the triforce gleamed with a shadowy light.
(OOC: He looks close to what my Avatar looks like. I am making a few minor changes as i obtain more gold.)

"There aren't many Gorons around these part...a few study at the University, but most of them stay close to home," he informed the man. He only really understood every other thing he said, he seemed to be speaking nonsense. "Where are you from, exactly? Whatever is a Zora? A Kokiri...?" he asked. The foreign stranger was saying some odd things.
"Where are you from, good fellow? And whatever are you doing?" he said, watching the stranger with a scholarly eye. "I'm going to be late to my own party if I don't leave catch my train now," he thought, but he couldn't overcome his curiosity.

Draco paced back over to Faron.
"As for your other questions, a Zora is a water being that lives in a cave inside what used to be Hyrule Falls LONG ago. They are known as Zoranians now and are far more understood but they retained their culture. The kokiri known as Kokoritians now, live in a forest not far from here. I am from the Underworld. You Humans may think that is a bit strange, but my kind find it perfectly acceptable. We are an almost Extinct race. Only 5 of us are alive at he moment." Draco answered
Draco, being a deity, read faron's mind.
"If you are afraid of missing your conference then i can get you there in minutes, you need to grab onto a part of my body and hold on or you may end up very far away. It is known as Shadow Travel where i come from. As for my behavior, the black shadowy glowing triforce is a symbol of my people." Draco stated.

Faron backed away from the man. He was starting to think that he was a bit touched in the head. Whatever was he babbling about? Shadow Travel?
"No thank you, sir," he said, eyeing the young man curiously. "I must be going now, you see, I have engagements to keep," he said. He smiled and turned, walking as fast as he could away, towards his train.
He barely made the train, which pulled out of the station within minutes of his boarding.

Draco startled by the man's hasty retreat walked to the cashier counter.
"Excuse me what date is it?" He kindly asked
"It is 1854, why do you ask?" the man replied
"oh no reason." He stated.
"No wonder he ran away like that, he must think i'm crazy. I'll just drive to the University and explain to him that i'm not crazy."
*****
As he is driving, Draco sees the train on the tracks and he drives onto them and then quickly gets to the road, drives by the front of the train, exits the sun roof, and jumps on the back of the train.
"Hello, sorry for back there. I hadn't realized so many years had passed." Draco apologized as he walked up to Faron.
"Do you mind if i sit down and explain myself?" He kindly asked.

Faron spent little time dwelling on the madman, his mind dreaming of the glory his newest discovery would make him. His contributions to history will be legendary, his name will go in the history books, his father will be proud of him...
He was startled by the man's sudden appearance. "Ah, you are on this train as well? Listen to you, sir, talking like an old man! You aren't a day over eighteen!"
The scholar leaned back in his leather upholstered seat, looking at him. "Very well," he said, waiting for the strange foreigner to speak.
