OCC: I'm not dead. Promiiise.

Dara continued to sit on the stone slab, staring off into the evening sky. Venus was now evident, proclaiming darkness was now more closer. It had been a while since anyone had said much of anything. Everyone seemed to just stand around idly, not speaking. She sighed as she began to kick her feet to and fro, as if waiting for something important. It was becoming boring to her just sitting her. They had decided on a leader, which was what they needed. She figured now it was time to go ahead and go.

"I don't know about you guys," she began, "But I'm seriously getting anxious and bored. I would like to get started on this "adventure". All we seem to do is hang around."

Once she had finished speaking, she continued to stare off into the sky. Dara had always found the colors of the evening sky beautiful. No matter what day it was, the sky was gorgous at night when you could see it. She smiled to herself as she realized how long it had been since her eyes had laid upon the sky.

"Guess we'll wait for Rael and Dark to walk back over here.." She whispered to herself, looking out towards the street.
 
With his hands in the pockets of his trousers, Dark walked back to the others that were waiting for them. While he and Rael where having their little chit-chat, the sky had darkened a lot. Soon it would be completely dark. He raised his head towards the sky and saw that even in the mix of soft purple, pink, orange and blue, the stars had already taken their spot. The Eastern horizon was already shrouded the darkest of blue. He hoped that their excape of Castle Town, would be shrouded in darkness too. He didn't want to think of what those creatures would do if they saw them trying to get over the walls. He shivered.
At last he had reached the others. He took one hand out of his pocket and raised as a sign of 'hello'.
He turned a little to see if Rael was catching up.
"We should leave..." he started... As he said it, he saw that everyone agreed with that... the wait was getting annoying. "as soon as possible." He turned to Alex. "We will have to find another plan of getting a faster way to get to the east... we won't stand a chance against the guardians and soldiers." Dark saw how Alex wanted to say something, but he continued so that the archer couldn't... "Our best chance to escape is when the sun has just set... The Guardians won't be there yet, and the soldiers aren't quite used to the dark.. and with a sun that low... there are quite some shadows." he grinned a little... In his mind he had a plan of the city... The eastern Gate was heavily guarded, all day... so were the Western and Nothern gates. The little gate that they had gone through last night, was not a favorable getaway. The swamps were trecherous at night and no one knew the well enough. Their only chance was the Eastern Gate, but they had to time their escape very well...
 
Where did everyone else go? o_o; Sorry for short post D: I dunno what to say...

--------

Rael was relieved that everyone might finally be moving. This whole adventure thing everyone was talking about seemed interesting, but when was it ever going to start? When they reached the group, he noticed Dara looking a little bored and anxious. He walked up to her and pretended to stand casually.

"Waiting for something to finally happen?" He whispered to her, not really wanting to get scolded at by anyone.

He didn't help with the situation of actually moving. It was getting darker by the second and everyone was waiting for something to happen. There wasn't an actual plan of where to go or how to get out of this area. Now it looked like an escape would have to be planned out, and quickly.
 
OOC: Haha, sorry I haven't been on for weeks and days or whatever. Stuff happened, dreaded school.
And sorry if it's a little short.
--------------------------------------------------
IC:

Alex's mouth opened then closed. His thoughts ran threw his head. He opened his mouth again and closed it. He watched all the events go off in front of him. These people never seemed to get tired, excluding Dara from that."Yes. We should. Faster we get out of here the faster we can get to the east." He said looking at Dark. "Your right...." He started to say. This time it was Alex's turn to interrupt in his mind, even if Dark was finished speaking. "And with shadow's comes very dark quiet places. Along with the addition of all the trees and high buildings....This will be one hell of a night." He said a mischievous grin appearing. "Well I think I have a map of the country in the chest and my place. It's actually not far." He said shrugging. "I like having the place because it's well hidden in the forest and it's close to the shops here." He said shrugging at the option of going to his place.
 
Dark overheard Alex saying something about a map. He slowly nodded. Few of their group had been out there, in the vast fields of Hyrule, and no one really knew the world out there. Perhaps Mosquett and the Zora did. Dark noticed that the Zora hadn't actually introduced himself to the group.
Perhaps they would get aquainted later.

He proposed that the group would split. A few would get the map and the others would already try to sneak out. It would be easier if their amount was smaller. They wouldn't be noticed that easily.
He put his hand in his pockets again and looked at each member of the group, waiting for their thoughts.
 
OOC: I LIVE! Ok here we go.

IC: Mijutzin suddenly noticed something. "OH goodness.. I'm sorry." he smiled, "My name is Mijutzin. I'm a Zorian as you can see, I want to get the water clean."

Mosquett cut in, "Listen children. I've been out there. this world is a dangerous place, I suggest that we prepare well before we head off, and by that I mean. say goodbye to your loved ones."

Zelda gasped, "Mosquett you shouldn't tell them that!"

"I will not lie to them." he lied.

((short I know))
 
Dara had dozed off for a moment, her head swaying from side to side everytime she tried to keep herself awake. She wasn't sure if it was boredom, or just sleepiness. Whatever it was, she was finding it hard to fight back rest.

"Mm." She stretched, yawning as she did so.

Her head turned and looked at the group. Everyone stood in such a curious little fashion. She seemed to be the only one sitting down. Frowning slightly, she began to feel lazy. Dara was about to drift off to sleep once more, but she heard Rael speaking to her. Stretching once again, she listened to what he had to say. He was indeed, right. She was waiting for something to happen.

"Yeah, I am. It's becoming so boring right now. I wish we could just leave."

As she finished talking, she heard Dark's proposal of splitting the group, and listened to Alex explain where he had a map. Dark had the right idea on splitting up, but Alex said he had a map at his house. Confused, Dara placed a finger on her chin and tapped it slightly. It was becoming difficult to think under such conditions.

"Well, I say we.."

But before she could finish her sentence, she noticed Mosquett, Princess Zelda, and a Zora. Dara tilted her head sideways. She had never really even seen a Zora before, so this was a new thing to her. Dara thought his skin looked awfully slimy, and grimaced at the thought of touching him. She didn't, however, dislike like. He seemed friendly.

"That's a nice name, Mizujin. My name is Dara." Said she was a cute grin.

Then, she listened to Mosquett speak. Her happiness began to fade away as she heard his last words. Say goodbye to her loved ones? She did that years ago! It would be nearly impossible to speak to the dead, and she didn't want to. Still, it pained her heart slightly remembering her family and her friends.

"I would say goodbye.." She paused slightly for a moment. "There's no need to.They died years ago."

Dara tried to force a smile, and awaited for the group to make a final decision. It was about an hour til sundown. She could tell by the sound of crows chirping.
 
Dark stiffened when he heard Mosquett's last sentence. He clenched his hands to fists and put them deeper in his pockets. On his face appeared a sour smile, there was no happiness in his eyes.
"Loved ones?" he said. "That would be kinda hard..." He added the last part softer, but not less bitter than the first part. "I have been alone ever since I arrived in this town, and that was more than 15 years ago."
With the tip of his foot he moved a little of the sand on the streets. He didn't feel easy talking about his past. Even Dark himself knew little about what had happened to him before he was brought to Castle Town. He didn't even know who had brought him to the capital of Hyrule. It was a battle inside of him. One part wanted to know who he would be if things wouldn't have changed, but the other part was afraid to learn the truth, afraid to confront the shock. He raised his shoulders and turned his face away from the others.
"Let's just go," he moaned.
 
OOC: I'll just do a quick day sweep... and... we'll see what happens next :D Plus I don't have a clue where you guys are exactly.... so I'll play around a little hehehe... like how Mizujin needs water at the moment...
IC:
Raven took his hidden stash of rupees and placed it into his pouch and gave it a good tug to seal. He slipped on a pair of brown, leather gauntlets and tightened the belt that fastened his tunic to his waist. A few taps to the toe of his brown boots made it the perfect fit for his feet. He made his way down the large stone stairway of the home of his parents only to stop short of the front door. Raven is calmly approached by the butler who watched him grow up.

"Master Raymond... No words, Sir... Take these..." The old fellow handed Raven a fine bow and a quiver of arrows. "You were always eager to practice with bows... These will do you good..." He also handed Raven some extra rupees and Raven knew exactly what their purpose was for.

"Thank you, Al... You always knew what I was thinking..." With a quick hug, Raven quickly made his escape of his parents' home. Before he knew it, Raven was out in the bazaar searching for someplace. Someplace special. With a quick glance around, Raven sees the shady alley he knew. One step into the alley and an old voice answered his step.

"Here boy. I was waiting long enough." A blade as plain as any other, yet had an interesting aura, was thrusted upon him along with a Hylian shield. Raven nodded and emptied almost all the contents of his money bag to the old man. "I do hope you come back alive, lad." Raven only nodded once more and reassure the man with a smile before leaving the odd shop.

With everything set for his journey, Raven can only wonder what has become of his beloved Alexi. It's been 2 years since that fateful memory was etched into his mind. His resolve was as resolute as ever but if he traveled alone he would not get far. Raven started to tread around town in hopes of finding anyone, willing to travel.

As the day went by and dusk crept along the horizons, his search was fruitless. He made his way towards the edge of the market where a fountain was located and there he found an odd group of people gathered. There were four male Hylians by the looks of it, two female Hylians, and a Zoran. One of the female looks distinctly familiar to him but he couldn't guess. All he could do was get closer and see what this little group were capable of. With a steady posture, Raven slid his hand through his hair and began walking towards the six Hylians... and Zoran of course.

OOC: UGH! Wasn't the best I could do but that'll suffice... I hope... xD

As Dark turned his head, he saw movement towards them. He turned a little more and saw a young adult getting closer to their group. Dark frowned. Unlike the other hylians who were window-shopping at a slow pace, this one was very steady in his pace. What could he possible want with their group?
They had met a lot of people today, and it wouldn't be wierd to meet another one. But still, it would be wierd to meet a lot of people in one day.
Dark turned around completely too take a good look of the person in question. He seemed to be around hage, probably a little older. Dark guessed one or two years, but deffinitally not more.
Even in the fading light, Dark noticed that the ruling colour of that person was blue. His hair reflected the slowly vanishing sunlight with a blue reflection, his tunic was that of a darker blue, which in this light almost seemed black.
Even from this distance, Dark could see that he was armed with a sword and another weapon.
Dark crosses his arms and straightened his back, he wouldn't be intimidated by an armed person.

OOC: Dark's a little suspicious... XD Don't know why though. =/ Ah, well, we'll see. ^_^
This is what I'm planning to get Dark's outfit and weaponery:
Once we get to the forest, let's first go to the (abandoned and half destroyed) village near the edge of the forest. Dark was born there. He will find the house where he was born and find the stuff there. =X
Okay? I have no other ideas at the moment. =O
But let's get moving. >:
 
Rael heard the word "loved ones" and cringed. He had no one in his life really. His mother died when he was so young and his father killed himself. He didn't want to return to the rotting corpse that was still in the deserted house. At least, that's what he thought. No one ever bothered going to their house so how would the body be found?

Rael began to remember how shitty his childhood really was. He didn't have an actual family at all. Maybe he would of if his mother was still alive. All the memories of her was shoved in the back of his mind and they would probably never show their face again. He can't remember anything about her. How she looked or sounded, it sucked not knowing.

Whoever she was, his father must of loved her so much to take his life.

"... Let's just go." Depression and agony trailed in his voice.

He noticed a person's silhouette getting closer and closer which made him feel a little uncomfortable. He pleased his finger tips along the handle of his shower, preparing to get it out if needed.
 
Dara looked at Rael, who was becoming more and more upset looking as time raged on. She wondered what was on his mind. Not wanting to ask, she kept her feelings to herself and decided that would be best. Hearing Dark's words of wanting to go, Dara agreed. The town itself was becoming more of a bore by the second. They had been wondering around aimlessly the whole entire day. Dara was itching to leave as soon as possible. Not to mention, she didn't want to get tangled in with some of the guards that roamed the streets. It had happened once before, and she did not intend to let it happen again. With a sigh, she nodded her head.

"Dark's right. Let's just get out of here. We've been in here too long. It's getting late. Let's head out."

As soon as she finished her sentence, Dara's eyes caught site of another standing in their midst. She was sure he wasn't there when they arrived at that spot. A little bit of sweat trickled down her neck. Who was this new comer? He didn't appear to be one of the Hylians or Hyruleans shopping. No one had approached them at all day. Dara found it odd how he was beginning too. Slightly nervous, she twirled a strand of hair in her finger.
 
OOC: Hahaha... I didn't hide my ears did I? Dara shoulda been able to tell that I was a Hylian... :D
IC:
Raven felt a sliver of cold run down his spine. He knew some of the people had saw him, even though he wasn't every subtle with his entrance, but they had an interesting aura about them... each one of them. Still, Raven did not stop his stride towards them. Since he was armed, he knew his presence felt odd to them. 'Maybe they think I'm a guard...' he pondered. Raven stopped short of a good 3 feet of the group and tried to be as polite as he could though he didn't know why he did such a thing.

"Do not be alarmed. I may be armed but I won't do such a thing as to harm you folks... and I'm not a guard, if you're thinking that..." Raven explained and even did a slight bow with his head.
"If I may, I'd like to accompany you folks wherever you're going..." he asked. "Plus you seem to be in quite a rush to get out of this place, or so that lady assumed, so let's cut the introductions short. I am Raymond Fellstar but Raven will do." Raven had heard a part of the Hylian girl's desire of leaving town and he himself agreed to it as well.

OOC: Weee! That was really crappy for me... :P
 
OOC: she meant that you weren't one of the Hylians that was shopping. =3

Dark continued to glare at the person who had stopped not too far from their group. There was no avoiding conversation anymore. Dark chuckled by that thought, had there ever been a such a moment?
His stiff position loosened when the youngman introduced himself as Raven. A man with that name could not be bad. In history there had been a few who had had that name and hat worn them with pride. Dark raised his shoulders and threw aside his dark thoughts to introduce himself to the newcomer. "Dark," he said in a neutral tone, not angry, suspious or over friendly, no, Dark said his name rather calmly as he extended his right hand to shake. "You wanna get out of here? Then come along."


Far away on the other side of Hyrule field, the spirit looked up to the countless stars above him. His eyes were narrowed into a cheeky smile. Looking up to the stars made him think of the time when he had been alive, for he had done it almost every night. It was the only thing which stayed the same throughout so many years. The sky held memories of when his life was more or less constant.
But now, even the stars seemed to know that something was about to change.
His ears tingled. 'Oh, another one. Now they will surely come~

OOC: The Rave I am reffering to is the Raven from the Oracle of Ages manga. Raven is Link's ancestor.

IC:
"Dark eh? I'd be delighted." Raven smiled slightly and clasped Dark's extended right hand with his own. Raven was still a bit uneasy with the other people since they were as silent as ever but they were with Dark so they all couldn't be that bad. (Muwahahah guys!) With a firm shake, Raven had released his hand from Dark's. Raven also rumaged out a piece of folded paper from his pouch and handed it to Dark.

"Here's a map and it'd be troublesome if we left without the cover of darkness. Sun down is only a few hours away." Raven said as he looked at the sun and it's decent behind the giant walls of Castle Town and soon enough, the horizon beyond it.

OOC: Okay... That should do for Raven... You are allowed to use him to make this scene go faster if you wish... I'm starting to lose ideas in this town... >. <";

OCC: Go to Zelda Infinite or One Manga. Raven is a hottie in the manga. <3 And it's fine. BTW, Dara isn't Hylian. She's Hyrulean, haha.

Dara watched as the male approached the group. He had such a curious look about him, and his cerulean hair made Dara think of the ocean. His hair was so blue, and for an odd reason, gave Dara a peace of tranquility. As he finally approached the group, she began to size him up. He looked decent enough. His dress was that of a normal Hylian, which was also good. Although she still felt slightly hostile, she assured herself there was nothing to fear.

After Dark introduced himself, Dara figured it was her turn. With a cute smile, she hopped down from the ledge she was sitting on and appeared before Raven. She frowned slightly as she realized her small she was compared to him. In fact, she was the smallest in the group, next to the Princess. Sighing, she held out her hand. Pushing the thought of her tiny body out of her mind, she made room for friendliness.

"Hiya Raven! My name is Dara. It's nice of you to join our little adventure group! It's a great thing you have a map! None of us owned one previously. We were going to have to go out and get one! Saves us the trouble!"

She continued to speak with happiness and glee. Her smile did not fade from her lips, and the sun's last daylight rays gave her skin a sort of attractive glow. The moon was more visible now, beginning to rise above the sun.
 
School lunch 8D

-----------

Rael grumbled as he watched how everyone was being so welcoming to the new stranger. Jealousy took over his mind as he watched Dara be overly friendly. He was a little pissed too. He wanted to get this over with. This was too much emotion for him to deal with.

Rael didn't want to bother with introductions. He just began to walk straight ahead, trying to think of where they could go. He noticed the sun's rays were slowly vanishing in the soft pastal sky. He sighed. They won't get anywhere again tonight.

"Where to everyone?" Rael asked.
 
OOC: Let's like totally leave now. 8D

IC: Dark softly chuckled as Dara introduced herself, but Rael wasn't so friendly, he turned away and started to leave the group behind. Something had start to dawn upon him, each time Dara was acting friendly towards someone, Rael turned silent and retreated within himself, avoiding all contact with the newcomer. First with him, and now with Raven. Whatever was going on in Rael's head, it had something to do with Dara.
"Let's just go... outside." Dark said with a devious grin on his mouth. Their little group of "outcasts" would defy all laws of the king and leave town at dusk.

Soon the giant walls surrounding the capital came in sight. Dark pressed himself against one of the walls, hiding in the shadows. The rest of their group did the same, waiting for the moment the guard had completed his tour at this side of the wall. Time seemed to go so slowly... each step of the guard seemed to take hours. Dark started to feel annoyed as hell and he noticed the others weren't quite happy with the slow pace of the otherwise so direct guards.
When the men finally turned, Dark took his chance and rushed towards the gate. Naturally the gate was closed at this moment, but the small door in the wooden gate, could be easily openend from the inside.
It didn't take long before lock was removed and the small door was open far enough for all of them to sneak out.
Dark looked behind him, no one on the walls seemed to have heard the silent (but yet way too loud for their group) screech of the iron on stone. But it was when all of them had taken shelter behind the bushes, that he dared breathing normally again. But his heart was beating fast. They were out.
Finally.
 
OCC: YAAAY~

Dara frowned as she watched Rael walk away. This was becoming common for him, and she wondered why in the world he decided to distant himself. She wasn't sure if it was her, or the fact that the group gained a new member. Whatever the reason, it plagued her mind. Still frowning, she followed after him in silence. As she was about to reach him, she noticed Dark walking briskly ahead. Not wanting to question him, she followed along side Rael. The sun was no longer visible. Dara shuddered as day eclisped into night.

"Hey guys.. should we..?"

A look from their troupe gave Dara the idea she was speaking too loud, and needed to tone down her voice. Resisting temptation to speak, she clasped a hand over her mouth. She followed behind in single file, occasionally having to press her body against the wall to avoid detection. Dara also held her breath, in case she might breath too loudly. Once they had opened the gate, Dara relaxed her nerves. That was probably the most difficult escape she had tried. Her back was beginning to hurt from pressing against the wall she much. She was also more sleepy from before.

"Well, we made it out alive. Where to now guys?" Dara whispered.
 
Bad post D: Sorry
_______

Rael looked down at Dara and noticed her looking more exhausted then before. He picked her up and held her tightly in his arms.

"Go to sleep Dara, okay?" He smiled at her. "You need sleep."

He looked over at everyone else who were behind him. It was still a mystery as to where they were even going. Although Hyrule was a vast land, most of it was very dangerous. This caused their choices to become very limited. Rael sighed.

"Where are we going again?"
