Rael didn't say much to this man's comment. No use in arguing, it wouldn't get anywhere. Rael felt a little pissed when he pushed Dark down into the mud. Who did this guy think he was? Rael examined the princess and thought that she was nothing special. He just looked around his surroundings, hoping to just get away from this. Rael was never the social butterfly, so meeting new people wasn't his favorite thing in the world.

"Can we just go?" Rael asked, becoming a little impatient. "What is the point of standing around? Can't we just forget this ever happened?"

Rael didn't quiet feel like traveling along with this new guy, he didn't feel too comfortable around him.
 
Dara sighed with relief as Mosquett relieved Rael of his challenge. She was thankful that this man had something of a heart, for if he didn't, the challenge would have proceeded. The feeling of Rael's safty relaxed her, so a small smile spread across her lips.

"Thank Mosquett for denying the challenge you made."

Standing up now, she bowed before the knight. She never before had seen a man of such calibar. His presence commanded authority and control. Dara was a little nervous being around him, but in her heart she knew he was a good man. For a moment, she was quite unsure what he meant by summoning the princess.

Her eyes widened as she saw a beautiful maiden emerge from behind Mosquett. She was one of the most beautiful women Dara had witnessed in her life. Even though she was completely drenched with water, her beauty was unrivaled. A small flint of jealously filled Dara's mind, but she quickly pushed it away. The Princess was truly something to behold.

"Good evening, Princess Zelda. My, what an honor it is to even see you. I've heard so much about you. It's a pleasure, really."

Dara bowed before the Princess. A little bit of sorry filled her heart as she noticed the princess shivering. Not having anything to keep her warm, she just sighed. Glancing over at the bushes, Dara wondered where Dark and Alex might be. She became a little worried about her two new companions. Mosquett, however, found Dark's hide out and forced him before the group. Dara couldn't help but laugh a little at Dark's strange appearance before them all. After seeing Dark's face in anguish, she felt bad for having laughed and reminded herself to apologize later. Princess Zelda, however, approached Dark and seemed to say to him what Dara meant to. Dara, once again, felt a little jealous at the Princess's kindness.

Rael began to speak, drawing Dara's attention over towards him. Rael was right. Standin around wasn't going to do anyone much of anything. Taking a deep breath, Dara began to speak. "Yeah, Rael is right. We need to go. Who wants to lead the way?"
 
Mosquett chuckled and placed his head on Dark's head instantly drenching the boy once more, he then removed his hand and a waft of hot air blew over all of them. Once the air had subsided everyone including the princess who now hung onto Mosquett's arm. "I hope this shows you that I did not mean what I did…" Mosquett said as the wind started molding around everyone adjusting there clothes and hair so that the comical appearances that they had acquired when Mosquett dried them would dissipate. "I will tell you children this… There is no reason for us to go anywhere, not yet, not until… " he broke off listening to the wind as it spoke of coming Guards, "We must hide, they are searching for me and if they see you with me you shall be slain."

Mosquett motioned to the grass at his feet, instantly he grass shifted and showed a map of the land, Bugs began to crawl over it showing there position and the position of the "If we leave soon the Guards will pass us… I suggest we head over to that tree so that it will hide us." He points to the three that had reattached its leaves. "I can hide us all, yet now that you have seen me… you're just as much a fugitive as I…"


OOC: That was not lazily done, it was hastily done.
 
OoC: Hastily done and not very nice for not posting in a while.

IC: Mizujin was busy catching some fish while the others were doing their thing. He manage to catch three. One for himself, Mosquett, and the princess. Mizujin began searching for some firewood to make a fire once the rain died down and wondered where the others might be. "Well I found the firewood, now to find Mosquett and the princess,"

OoC: Now for you guys to control me to get me by you. I have no idea what's going on or where you are, so I give anyone permission to control me to get to you guys.
 
OC: Only Dark now. I'll post with Link when everyone's together and near dawn. :3

Ic: The knight might have said that he did not mean what he did, but Dark didn't forget the second time he placed his hand on the purple-haired boy and pushed him in the mud again. Dark whiped his face again with his hand and t-shirt, which was now as dirty as it could be. He groaned. Dark was standing a little behind the crowd wich stared at the man's map. Dark was in awe of the man's magic, but he couldn't care less. He hated the man even stronger. He placed his hands in his pockets and sniffed. Like he cared about them. He just wanted to go back to his home and take a nap. Now the guards hadn't seen them so they were techniqually not able to accuse them. Dark rose his shoulders and turned, leaving the group behind. When he turned his head to look back, he noticed that only the so-called princess was looking at him, but Dark didn't care and continued his way. The moon had driven away the clouds and it seemed as if the rain had never felt this night. The area had just always been a wasteland of mud and water. Dark grinned, but that grin faded away when he saw a shadow coming closer. He suddenly grew alert of the warnings of Helians traveling across the lands: they were haunted by creatures of all sorts. He grabbed a stick laying on the ground, but he grew less tense when the shadow stepped into the moonlight. Although the figure looked slightly wierd, scary in the moonlight, Dark recognised it as one of the water creatures. Zaro or Zora or something like that. Dark raised his hand, but suddenly realised that he must look very odd, covered in mud like that. He grinned somewhat uneasily.
Dark frowned when he suddenly saw a little light aproaching at high speed. He clenched his fist around the stick and prepared himself when he saw that it was poe, holding their typical little lantern.
 
Dara was beginning to doze off as Mosquett talked to the group. She had had a long day, and an even longer night. Her eyes began to close, but she instantly woke herself up as sleep began to fall upon her. She wanted to be polite and listen to everyone's ideas. Mosquett had made a map from the terrain, putting Dara in a state of awe. The idea that his man could control the elements still worried her slightly. Once the map disappeared, her sleepiness returned back to her.

Being impatient, Dara wanted to leave then and there. Everyone had their own ideas, but Mosquett seemed to be in control. With everyone's views differing, it seemed hopeless to even move next to a bush. With a sigh, she stared off into the moon light which shown fresh on the dew of the grass. Her eyes caught sight of Dark, who seemed to be off in his own little world. A frown spread upon her face as she watched him wander off.

"Wonder what that boy is up to.." She whispered under her breath so that no one but her could hear.

Slipping out of Rael's grip, she decided to follow her new found friend. He seemed rather upset, and Dara did owe him much for allowing her to sleep in his bed and even in his house. Nervously, she crept up behind him. She noticed his attention seemed to be on some sort of creature. Squinting in the darkness, Dara noticed it was of a fish like physique. Dara wasn't sure if he was friend or foe, and didn't want to take the chance to find out.

Tapping Dark on the shoulder, she began to speak to him. "Hey. Why did you leave everyone else? Is something the matter?"

OCC: D'Aww. Dara cares. *shot*
 
ooc: It's so cute. *_* (Saba, I'm borrowing your character a little bit)

Being tense as he was, Dark got it real bad when he felt something tapping his shoulder. Halfly thinking that it was another poe and that he (and the fish) were locked in. He quickly turned, ready to smash whatever was hiding behind his back. Great was his astonishement when he saw Dara standing there, looking frightingly to the stick in his half-raised hand. He quickly lowered it. "D... Dara?!"
After his astonishment flooded away, Dark told her that he hated how that strange man had humiliated him by pressing him not once but twice in the mud. His pride was all that Dark really had left.
But an icecold howling made him remember that they had an unasked visitor. Dark clenched hand around the stick once more and told Dara to keep away from the evil spirit. The fishman had also noticed the Poe and rushed towards them holding three fish very thightly. Dark concentrated on the poe, and somehow his right hand started burning. He ignored it and rushed towards the spirit, smashing it as hard as he could. Somehow he exspected to go right through it, but he managed to hit it quite hardly.
Surprised, Dark landed on the ground and turned quickly to give another whack on the poe's head. The creature had soon enough of all the smashing and hitting and fled in darkness. Dark fell down on his knees. "What... ?"
 
Poor Rael =[ XD

----

Rael noticed Dara was gone and grew worried once again. He was sleeping before because he saw no point in paying any attention to this new guy. He saw Dara and Dark alone and became insanely jealous. He wanted to interrupt their meeting so bad, but he thought that maybe Dara really liked Dark and that they would be happy together.

He did, however, sneak over there to listen. He had to at least see if they had liked each other. He heard something about pride but couldn't hear that well due to the fact that the new mans voice was so loud and that they were whispering so quietly. Was their discussion really that serious and bad that they had to whisper silently? A frown showed on his lips as he watched the two. He notice Dark fall onto his knees which made Rael really uncomfortable. He felt that he had seen enough, and went off on his own for a little walk.

Rael wasn't in the mood for anyone, he felt his heart break a little as he walked on the damp grass. He felt that the two of them were together, and that it was going to stay that way. He didn't quiet understand why he felt so upset, he knew he liked her, but not this much were his heart was aching. He knew it was stupid that he liked her so much, he knew that she could never fall for a guy like him. Which hurt him so badly.
 
Alex had been hiding, and listening, intently to the whole conversation, with his bow ready just incase. He grimaced at the newcomer, not exactly knowing his name, as he had easily commanded the wind and trees. Alex could tell this man was no normal knight, because not every knight had a girl wearing royalty clothing. Alex stood as he saw Dark walk off from the small group of four. He had noticed Dara come up behind him and speak to him quietly, and had seen the Zora appear. He had also seen Dark run at the poe, with what seemed, to be a stick. But he to tought it would phase through but he had hit it and had put Alex into a quiet moment of silence. But he saw Dark fall to his knees and Alex was next to Dark bending down within a few seconds. From his few years of training Alex could be quiet and fast when running across this type of terrain. "Dark are you ok?" He asked the person he had met by accident in a street. Alex stood up listening intently and closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. "Footsteps draw near." He said calmly and opened his eyes pulling off his bow.

OOC: Haha, sorry guys that I haven't been able to reply. I've been busy lately traveling.
 
Dark barely heard Alex speak to him. He just nodded, almost invisible. What did he just do? He shook his head. This was wierd... strange... he had just beaten a poe with a stick. Dark had never trained to hold a weapon, nor fight with one. And this was just a wooden stick. While fighting his movements seemed so natural, so common to him. It's like he had been fighting all his life... and yet Dark knew it was only the first time he did this. His righthand had stopped burning and the triangle would have probably gone out.
He stood back up. Inhaling deeply, he tried to calm himself down. His knees stopped shaking and his heartbeat slowed down to the normal pace.
IT was then that Alex said that there was someone nearing. The youngman next to him prepared his bow, and Dark clenched his fingers around the stick he was still holding.
 
Dara noticed Alex come closer and smiled. It was good to know that he was doing all right, and out of harms way. Everyone seemed to be in better spirits after they had left the city. Notcing Dark fall to his knees, her face was filled with alarm. She lowered her body down next to him, and began to rub his back.

"Are you all right?!" She asked, her tone a bit shaky.

The poe had disappeared, right after Dark beat it with a harmless stick. Confused, Dara frantically began to wonder what was happened. It was nearly impossible to destroy a ghost with a stick, let alone such a small and useless one. She continued to stare at Dark, worried. Her eyes fell on his hand, which was slightly throbbing. Remembering the last time Dara held Dark's hand, she didn't him to snatch it away again. She looked over at Alex for a moment, then noticed Dark's hand again. It seemed fine. Was it her imagination? Dark regained his posture, making Dara sigh with relief. She had no idea what had come over him.

"Are you SURE you're going to be all right? That was kinda weird." Dara said, still nervous.

Dara thought she saw another shadow near them, but figured it was a tree or something. Still, she worried slightly as the shadow neared, but then drew away. She was wondering where Rael and the other's were, and if they were even coming near them.
 
Dark listened to Dara's voice. He inhaled deeply to catch some fresh air and than softly hit her on her shoulder with his left hand. "I AM fine," he grinned. But somehow it came out really unatural. "It's just..." he continued, hesitating a little. He didn't know where to start, but he needed to tell someone! If he didn't, he would be thinking about it for the rest of his life, not able to come up with a good answer to the question.
Deep in thoughts, Dark looked at both his hands, the right oee holding the stick.
"This is the first time I fought like that..." he finally started. "This is the first time I held something in my hands as if it was a sword. And yet..." he paused, turning his head towards Dara. He closed his left hand and than murmured: "and yet... it felt so....Natural... It's just something I don't understand..."
 
((OOC: I do not remember Mosquett Pushing Dark again... he only dropped him in the mud once..... that is what I recall anyway. ))

IC:

Mosquett sighed, "Let us not duel children.. after all..." he closed his eyes as the princess grabbed his hand, "You are right your majesty..." he whispered and dropped to the ground his legs crossed under him and his hair spread over the floor, "I must not..."

Zelda nodded and turned to everyone, "Mosquett thinks he knows best because he is old, but he thinks in the old ways... I think we should just..." she blinked a few times wondering if perhaps she was not the one that should be the leader of all of this, for she was just a small girl and had never been outside of the palace, "I think... we should get me some clothes..." she blushed covering herself, "A night gown is not what a princess should wear outside."

Mosquett chuckled but said nothing.

((OOC: I got nothin'...))
 
Dara was amazed at Dark's new found ability. Now with Rael, Mosquett, and Alex at their sides, everyone seemed to be ready for any battle about to be fought. She frowned a little as she realized she was lacking a weapon. Sighing, she down on a near rock and stared at the sky. Night was slowly slipping away into dawn.

"So, it just sort of happened?" She asked Dark, still keeping her eyes on the sky's array of colors. Nothing came to mind as she was thinking, but she smiled anyways.

"Well, hopefully, your talent will save us in our times of peril! Of course," she paused for a moment, "We all need to work together if we're going to get anywhere."

Dara now listened to Mosquett speak, as well as the Princess. Princess Zelda was correct, she did need new clothes. However, since night was just eloping into dawn, the town's stores would not be open. Dara tried to tihnk of a way to get the Princess some new clothes. Nothing came to her. All of a sudden, a low rumble came form Dara's belly. Blushing, she clenched her stomach slightly.

"Wow, I just forgot! I haven't eaten at all since around yesterday morning! How about we look for some breakfast, or something." Dara continued to blush while holding her stomach, but she laughed slightly as it continued to growl.

OCC: Sorry it sucks. I was in the hospital with stomach ulsers. ._.;
 
Dark slowly nodded. "It was like... like..." Dark frowned, trying to find the right words to express what just had happened to him. "Like it was something that had been burried deep inside me, and that something suddenly bursted out. It was really wierd, yet so... natural?" The word came out hesitating, but he couldn't find a better one.
With his left hand he scratched the back of his head, grabbing a few strands of his purple hair. With it between his fingers he pulled it as if he wanted to make sure he snapped out of his thinking.
His triangular ears caught the words of the people standing around them and he realised that Dara was right. They would need everyone's help and talent if they wanted to survive out there. Because a strange feeling at the back of his head told him that because of the curcumstances they would soon venture out in the rough fields of Hyrule and whatever lay behind that. And even though it was his dream come true, it still felt wierd... really wierd.
 
Oh no Dara D: I hope you feel better soon! :hugs:

---

Rael decided it was best to head back, there was no point in wondering off, even if it would be better for him to be alone then to see Dark and Dara together. He sighed as he walked back to everyone's original spot.

Thoughts of the two together just killed him. He already had a hard time trusting Dark, and that trust was getting strong slowly, but now its destroyed. He couldn't believe that the two of them would keep something like this a secret. Rael knew that he shouldn't be upset over this, it's not like he ever told or hinted that he liked her. He had a fear of rejection and things being awkward. Picturing them two together... Maybe they were better off. He kicked some random dirt as he walked.

Not looking where he was going, he walked into Mosquett. Rael fell to the ground and mumbled curse words. He looked up and became frightened of the man he walked into. Mosquett scared him slightly and bothered him completely. He stood up right away and began to apologize.

"Hey, I'm really sorry about that. I wasn't looking where I was going. I just had some..." He thought for a minute, trying to think of the right word. "Stuff on my mind."
 
Mosquett growled, He didn't like working with others, he never had, he had always preferred things to be done by him and only him. Unfortunately now he had no choice but to work with these children. As he stood contemplating possible ways for the children to slowly yet tragically die without anyone noticing that he had done it the small one named Rael bumped into him causing Mosquett's shield to detach itself from his back, it hit the ground with a clang that he was sure that everyone had noticed. He turned to the boy who now was on the floor, the look on the boys face was all the explanation that Mosquett needed, young love was nothing to apologize for, and certainly nothing that one could control.

Mosquett listened as Rael stood and said, "Hey, I'm really sorry about that. I wasn't looking where I was going. I just had some..." He paused, "Stuff on my mind."

Mosquett smiled hoping that the initial fear that he struck in every soul would diminish, "Dear boy you have nothing to apologize for." he turned so that his full attention could be on Rael and only Rael, even the princess didn't have his full attention now, "Rael... you wouldn't mind if i asked you... a small yet personal question would you? Away from everyone else of course." he asked using the charming yet mensing voice that had convinced the princess to come with him in the first place.

Before an answer could come from the boy the Princess turned to him and shouted, "MOSQUETT! HOW CAN YOU THINK OF EVEN LEAVING MY SIDE?!" Mosquett was startled by this so he turned ever so slowly to look to the blond girl before him, "You're supposed to be protecting me! you've already left me five times since you took me from the castle!"

Mosquett blinked a few times, "Princess... I-"

"I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT! MOSQUETT YOU VOWED TO PROTECT ME! REMEMBER?!" Mosquett said nothing, for he had in fact vowed to protect her from any and all that would come forth, "I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO LEAVE MY SIDE AGAIN MOSQUETT! I SIMPLY WILL NOT!"

Mosquett glared at her, her blood may have been royal but she didn't have the authority to order him as she was yet Mosquett had always been a man of his word, "I apologized princess..." he said sounding as true to what he was saying as he possibly could, he then walked over to her towering over her as he had many a man, "I should not think of souly myself, I am of course..." he grabbed her nightgown and lifted her slightly, "The only one protecting you!" She struggled, "I protect you because I want to princess, Never forget it!" he said letting her go, "Come Rael, i have something I wish to discuss with you." he said walking away, leaving his shield and sword behind.

The princess watched him walk, she was afraid as any girl would have been but she also felt ashamed, she had no idea what kind of man she had protecting her and she wasn't sure if she wanted to find out.

((OOC: Let us talk Rael... about your little crush... XD... Mosquett needs more friends.))
 
Lawl @ JBC's post XD; Time for their "talk".

---------


Rael felt a little... Weird. This guy wanting to talk to someone like him? Rael felt pathetic and useless when he was around Mosquett. He was so much better than Rael, and stronger. This made Rael become jealous of him, oh how he wish he was able to be like that. Maybe then he could win his crush.

Rael followed Mosquett into a more quiet and deserted area. He felt the cold breeze press itself up against his body as he stood behind Mosquett, waiting to hear what he wanted. A shiver traveled up his spine as he waited in the cold wind. Mornings were always so cold and it didn't help with it being windy.

He messed around with his clothing a bit, becoming a little nervous. He was assuming, once again with assumptions, that Mosquett was going to scold him for running into him. For not thinking about where he was walking and for even thinking while walking. Rael didn't like the silence much longer, he wanted to break it for it was getting a little eerie.

"Um so... What did you want to talk about?" His voice sounded a little shaky, he was freezing after all.
 
Dara listened to Dark, quite interested in what he was saying. It was an odd sort of phenomenon that happened, and it made her excited yet worried. She didn't want anything to happen to her new friend. Finding a nearby rock, she sat on it. It was cold from the previous night, making her shiver slightly. Her stomach still continued to growl, as she was still hungry.

"Maybe we should get some food. By the time we get to Castle Town, it'll be broad daylight. The sun is already high in the sky." Dara said to no one in particular.

She was right. Dawn was cascading into early morning. Now the birds were chirping, greeting everyone with a soft hymn. Dara yanked at Dark's arm, as if begging him to take her to the town for food.

"Come on slow poke! I.. mean WE need food and maybe some new clothes."

She grinned as she spoke, still trying to get him to move. "We can get the others as we walk all right. Lets go!"

OCC: LETS GO ON AN ADVENTURE LOL. Haha playing. I thought maaaybe we should speed things up?
 
"H... HEY!" Dark struggeled as Dara pulled his arm. This resistance was more of a reaction to her suddenly pulling him in the direction of huge stone walls of Castle Town. He soon loosened up and folllowed her. She was right. On the Eastern Horizon the glowing orb that was the sun was climbing over the shadows of the mountains far away. Dark's knowledge of the Hyrulian map was not broad, but he knew that the eastern and southern sides were covered by outstretched forests.
He slightly heard Dara's stomach making protests to being empty and he slightly remembered the bakers of the morning market with their freshly baked bread. He murmured something of there being a morning market close by, but than realised that he still needed to pack, since he was the only one -he thought- who actually had a house in the city. He said this a little louder and made a move towards the gate they came from a few hours ago, now pulling Dara with him instead of her pulling him.

OC: next time I'll do Link, I do. :3
