Dark remained seated on the gras. The cold of the beginning night was barely notable, but Dark could tell it was going to become one of the chilly nights. Even though the temperature during the day was hot, nights were cold as the artic area.
He looked up to Rael, who was now holding Dara tightly in his arms. "Didn't someone earlier today say it would be best to go to the forests in the South east province? I think we should heed to that and go... perhaps we can find a place to sleep on our way... I don't feel at ease so close to the walls of the city we just escaped." He looked behind him. The giant granite walls were still very visible, he could clearly see the guards walking around on the walls. No one seemed to have noticed that they had left.
He sighed of relief...
"let's just go".
 
OOC: What the heck guys... hahaha... Where's everyone lately?

IC:
Raven was quite good at sneaking around so he had little trouble avoiding eyes but with such a large group, he thought it'd be more difficult. However, surprisingly, Dark managed to steer the group through the unnoticing guards. And that iron door... It was surprisingly loud to the ear but the guards were somehow unaffected by the loud screech. Regardless, Raven was impressed at Dark's leadership skills and thought he would praise him later when they were out of danger.

Raven and the others sat in the cold grass and endured the trickling cold that tried to climb up the spine. Raven wondered what they should do when Dark spoke out.

'Didn't someone earlier today say it would be best to go to the forests in the South east province? I think we should heed to that and go... perhaps we can find a place to sleep on our way... I don't feel at ease so close to the walls of the city we just escaped.' Dark had said while looking at Rael and Dara. Raven took a glance over at the other two and saw that Rael was embracing Dara. Raven thought to himself, 'Hm... I guess those two are couples or something...' And that thought had managed to stir up memories of that dreadful time. He had longed for Alexi so much but he had to keep himself under control.

'Let's just go.' Dark said with a sigh and Raven agreed.

"Yeah. Staying here won't help us much. These nights seem to get more cold lately so we better get moving."
 
((OOC: *appears like a bad movie review* Ok.... I'm not sure what I have to do... but i"ll do it.... back track a bit shall we.... ))

IC: Mosquett

He raised his arms above his head and then noticed something, "WTF!" he looked around, "When were we left behind!?" he turns to the Princess who was humming to herself, "Some help you are Princess!" He picks her up, none to gently and tosses her over his shoulder, "Mujizn ((otra vez)) Fallow."

Mujzin obediently fallowed, Mosquett caught up with everyone with time to spare, being a ninja had it's perks, "Did you kids miss me?" he asked more to make himself feel better then anything else.

"UNHAND ME THIS INSTANT!" Zelda screamed.

"of course..." mosquett stated and promptly dropped her 6 feet to the ground, "Wrong words princess." is all he says before walking away from her and joining everyone else. Of course, he did not know what they were talking about so he stood silently until he was addressed.
 
Dark burried his face in his arms when Mosquett came back. He mumbled something about not even having noticed that he was gone, but he did it so quietly that no one would hear him.
After sitting there for a while, Raven answered to him and Dark stood up. He tapped the gras and dust of his pants and straigtened his back. He rubbed the sleep out his amethyst eyes and slowly moved to the edge of the bushes. He moved the leaves and twigs out of his face and looked through the little hole towards the way they were supposed to take. There was no one, and the people behind him on the castle walls didn't give any notice of them knowing they were gone.
"Let's go", he said. He crawled through the vegetation and rushed towards the sand path next to the main road. The gaps in the way were filled with water from last night's rainfall. It wasn't too hard to find a walkable path in the mud, so they would be able to advance pretty quickly. Next village wasn't so far away. He had heard that Lon Lon village was the nearest one, only a little more than 2 houres from the Caslte Town's main gate.

OC: Took the liberty of making LonLon ranch (from Ocarina of Time) into a village. :3
Villages usually origine from a place where there's lot of 'industrial' activity...
 
Dara groaned as she became bored and uninterested in the whole conversation everyone was having. She was becoming grumpy due to sleep and fatigue. Yawning to herself, she leaned more into Rael's chest. Her nose pressed against his chest, and her chest slightly heaved as she breathed in his scent. His smell was so soft and pleasing to her nose. Dara slightly blushed as she continued to become more relaxed in his arms. She was uncertain about all these feelings she was experiencing. Sighing, she attempted to push the idea out of her mind.

"So, we're going to be finally leaving?"

Continuing to cling onto him, she cuddled him more tightly. Raising her eyebrow, she noticed Mosquett approaching the group. Dara figured it was getting closer to leaving time. It was finally the moment she had wanted!

OCC: I'm at school. Sorry it sucks.
 
OOC:uhhhhhhhhh ok..........

((OOC: Helpful AnimeGuy113... ok let's do some stuff.))

IC:

Mosquett fallowed after Dark slowly, allowing The princess to catch up to him. He taught for a moment then decided to do it. "Pardon... Dark." He steps over to him and places a hand on the boys shoulder, " I know you are in a rush to get to Lon-Lon village, and I was hopeing that you could do something for me while we're there." He smiled, "You see... when I was... caught.... they took away a dear friend of mine... my horse Jeova. A beautiful black horse. Ninja trained and raised by my hands." He sighed, "I need him back... with my horse the girls won't have to walk so much... we won't have an excuse to slow down. Cloud you help me find him? I know they took him to Lon-Lon ranch... back when it was Lon-Lon ranch.... I know that was a long time ago, but if i"m still alive he is sure to be as well."
 
ooc:lol,ima starta nowa!
IC:
Serina woke up with a shriek and sweat coming down her face."mom...."She got up and covered her eyes."its sunny?"she grabbed her pack and put it on her back and started walking.As she was walking she saw two Hylian kids walking toward the korkian(SP) Forest with rocks and sticks."HEY!"she shouted.the kids turned around and threw a few rocks at her.she got hit in the gut but caught 2 of the rocks.she looked at the kids and threw a rock at each of their heads and they fell to the ground."GO ON GET OUTTA HERE YOU RATS!"the boys started to cry and ran back to the city.she sighed and looked around."ill go to the forest again...!"she turned around and started walking in the direction of the forest."I have to tell the Deku tree im going to be gone for a while!"(is he alive?)
 
OOC: Please post posts that have something to do with the rp. Make them long enough and watch out for grammatical rules, AnimeGuy113. It's very annoying to read without spaces and capitals. D: Thank you. :3
Other then that... It's possible that the Deku Tree, or rather a fragment, has remained intact. Ganondorf might be ruling Hyrule now, but it's most unlikely that he has conquered all of Hyrule's Magic.

IC: Dark started to walk slower when Mosquett caught up with him. According to the noice that came from behind him, Dark was sure that the others were following as well. The girl that was directed as the Princess made lot of sounds of annoyance. Dark tried to ignore her, but he was getting annoyed as well. Not too far behind him, Raven and Alex were walking next to eachother, discussing the latest trends in archery. Dark listened with half an ear, if he had to choose a weapon, a bow would be very useful and he could avoid close combat. It horrified him to death that he would have to fight for his live eye in eye with another being who did the same. Yet, Dark thougth of what had happened earlier today, much earlier. How he was able to weild the stick like a sword... It made him wonder if he was destined to use a sword or not... It puzzled him. Where did that sudden talent come from?
When Mosquett startet do speak, Dark was pulled out of his thoughts, which for some reason start to go in the direction of his in shadows covered past.
He listened to the tall knight with a strange feeling. He did not like this man, but on the other hand he fascinated Dark. A horserider and his horse still alive after such a long time? It was hard to believe.
He slowly nodded. "Lon Lon Ranch, uh? So that's where the village started. We ought to find a sleeping place and go to the market tomorrow. I heard this town has quite some selling and buying activity. Perhaps we could get horses too."


OOC: Solves the problem of getting horses. ;D Ardanwen, here I come. 8D
 
Dara followed behind everyone, trying to awake herself. Things were looking pretty grim as the troupe began trekking in the mud. A look of disgust crossed her face as her foot nearly came into contact with mud. That was one of her pet peeves. Mud was disgusting, and it irritated her that she had to walk in it. Sighing deeply, she tried to force a smile upon her face.

After a while, Dara noticed a small arch coming into view. It obviously had decomposed in the years, so the bark it was made of began to rot. A little sign swung two and fro in the wind, the chain holding it crooked. Although she was not fluent in Hylian, she could make out a few of the letters.

"Lon Lon Ra.." The other symbols she could not read.

Turning to her group, she watched their eyes move over the sign as well. Dara felt slightly out of place as everyone comprehended its meaning. Tapping Rael on the shoulder, she questioned the meaning of the sign.

"What does it say Rael?"

In the distance, Dara heard farm animals cry out in the distance. Her memory never served her at the right time, so Dara had forgotten all about the destination being the Lon Lon Ranch. A fetid smell filled her nose, causing Dara to crinkle it in disapproval.
 
OOC: What??? I wasn't talking about archery... hahaha... but whatever works... Remember... I am a bit unsociable... or maybe... hm... *plots deviously*

IC:
Raven had walked behind the group a little still unable to hand his trust to just anyone in the small group. He didn't know much about them except their names, and he was mighty shocked that the royalty-looking female was actually the Princess but he already had a strange notion it was her. Though he also didn't want to be too distant and make himself feel as though he was a stranger, Raven decided to join the group and surprisingly ends up walking beside Dark. It was a strange feeling walking beside Dark than from the others. He felt he could place his complete trust in Dark despite only knowing the fellow for a small while. Dark had an air about him and Raven was glad he met Dark.

Now Raven's attention was slightly towards the Princess. She had been quite a handful because she was annoying Raven with such loud noises. However, Raven ignored it but he could still feel his hair stand up. Over at the distance, a large stone wall had encircled a town of some sort. The group closed in and they were soon at the gate of the town. A sign hung over an archway which spelt out Lon Lon Ranch.

'Lon Lon Ra..' Dara had tried to say but she stopped. Raven turned his head to her and saw her tapping Rael.

'What does it say Rael?' She had asked. Raven was a bit amazed because he thought Dara would be able to read it.

Without waiting for Rael to answer her, Raven told her, "It says Lon Lon Ranch." Raven was interested to see what had become of the ranch.

OOC: Uh... Didn't know if I should had said Village or Ranch.... I think Ranch is better... XD and it also looks like me and Lo-chan posted very close timing to each other... hahaa...

Wtf D: I need to post...

Rael glared at the new comer. He was going to answer, but it's not like he was a perfect reader so it didn't matter too much. He frowned a little bit as Dara left his arms. He felt like a total outcast when he was with everyone.

He attempted to read the sign to himself but couldn't understand it. He was never taught how to read and he could never teach himself. Rael could read very little words. He sighed to himself and looked down at Dara.

"Do you want me to carry you again...?" He asked, noticing how she didn't want to be in the mud.
 
((OOC: It's village dear childrens... *smiles*))

IC:

Mosquett smiled and turned to check on the princess, she was walking lightly stepping exactly where he had, for everywhere he stepped he left the ground dry and that meant she didn't have to get her feet dirty. Mosquett chuckled, "Dark my boy..." he said raising a hand slightly, "I seance you are troubled... is it unjust if I ask why?" he smiled kindly trying to canal his power so that he could make the foot prints larger so that it made a path and not just spots.

Zelda smiles as the spots grow bigger, this made walking much easier. "Thank you my guardian." she says a bit to kindly to the man before her.

Mosquett grunted but said nothing to her. She had been getting annoying for the past few on-long-runs, and they had not gone that far. Just then an old friend flew over them, Mosquett smiled up at the creature as it made it's way into the woods, it had been over a century since he had seen that owl. This gave him his first true smile.

Dara opened her mouth as if to spoke, but nothing came out. She felt slightly dumb for not being able to read the sign. Everyone else seemed to be fluent in Hylian. Frowning, she began to realize that she might be a problem for the group with her slight hindurance. Trying to smile, she stared off into the distance. It was midday now, the sun was a brilliant golden ray. A little bead of sweat ran down her neck.

"It's getting kind of hot.." Dara said, fanning herself.

As she continued to stare at the sky, an owl flew overhead. Dara nearly fell down in shock as she witnessed the enormous creature. It flew out of sight nearly as sudden as Dara noticed it. Blinking in confusion, she continued to fan her body.

"Oh, I didn't hear you Rael." Trying to smile, Dara turned her body towards him. It looked comfortable in his arms, and she nodded at his request. As he lifted her into his arms, she felt her face grow hot, but not because of the heat.

OCC: This was typed in school at 7:29. It's a little bad. XD
 
Rael held her close as she was placed into his arms. He was a bit worried that he would over heat her though with holding her so close and the fact that it was hot out. He noticed before how she seemed a littl troubled about something.

"What's wrong?" He whispered in her ear. "If it's about reading the sign, I couldn't read it neither. I can't read at all."

He gave her a small smile and looked back up at the group who were discussing something. Rael saw the large shadow as it passed over their heads. He looked up but it was too late to see anything. The sun rays blared into his eyes which made him wince from the sudden annoying pain he received.

"Are we going in...?" Rael asked the group as he held Dara a little closer.
 
OC: yey, it's alive again. 8D

IC:
Dark frowned as he looked to the sign. The shape of the letters was slightly familiar to him, it remembered him of the words written on old buildings. It must be one of the elder Helian writings.
As he could barely read himself, Dark formed his decission. Dara's "Lon Lon Ra..." must mean that they had arrived at "Lon Lon Village", "Ra" was probably from the ranch this place once was.
He scratched the side of his head, thinking about what would be best. They day had already progressed a lot, and the sun was reaching it highest point. Dark thought of finding an inn or something similar, to have a safe and nice place to sleep. After the long walk, he thought, most of them -him included- yearned for a warm and comfy bed. Near the fence (it wasn't really a wall, more a construction of wood, mud and rocks) most hotels were of a nice price. Together they would be able to afford a room of two. After they would have taken a quick nap, they could venture into town. They could buy more supplies... and possibly get horses too (if the owners were nice enough...)
He proposed his findings to the others, wondering how the others would think of his plan.
 
Dara blushed as she felt Rael's breath on her neck as he whispered to her. She tried to keep a nonchalant appearance, but she failing miserably. Her eyes followed along the sides of the moldy fence, seeing signs offering inn services, her heart began to race. An inn would rest up the group and refresh everyone. Not only that, Dara was becoming quite hungry form their adventure. Her imagination begas to run wild as she visualized about being pampered.

"Ntohing in wrong, Rael." She added, not forgetting his question.

"Hey Dark. Can we go ahead and get an inn room? I'm famished and wore out. It's getting pretty hot outside, and it would benefit us all."

As she spoke, she rubbed her eyes to remove some excess sleep. A clous rolled overhead, sluggishly crossing the sky. The afternoon was at its peak, and soon, it would be evening. The inns didn't close, but she figured it would be more difficult to enter an inn at night, when everyone wanted one.
 
And the RP dies again... XD

----------

"I think it'd be best if we go in." Rael supported Dara's question. "It would be rather difficult to get in later due to other travelers and I think everyone needs a break from everything for now."

Even though it was a few days, it seemed like years since they had been near an actual town with people who walk around with no fear and stay out till the sun comes up. It was a bit nice compared to how things have been before.

He looked up at the inn. It looked like it'd be much bigger on the inside than the outside. Rael began to wonder if they'd even have the money for this though. Money was spent on food to survive, do they have enough to waste staying in a nice inn?

"How much money do we exactly have?" Rael asked.
 
OCC: Come on guys. ;x We have to keep this thing alive. We really need to hurry up and do something. It's been page after page of nothing. Guess I'll take the liberty of pushing us forward. Slightly.

Dara nodded as she heard Rael speak. It was becoming quite a task just to stand around and do nothing. Everyone had managed to break free of the barriers held upon them in the town, but it seemed no one was really "doing" anything. It was becoming habitual just to stand around. Dara sighed as she attempted to relax her nerves. The sun was still beating upon our travelers, causing their strength to diminish. A few birds chirped over head, flying to who knows where. Dara watched them out of the corner of her eye.

"Guys." She finally spoke up. "We're wasting day light hours. Let's hurry up and go inside. It's humid outside, and if we don't hurry, I'll suffer a heat stroke!"

The group nodded and proceeded inside. The inn which they had randomly chosen appeared to be homely. It had a fire place situated in the corner, centered in the wall. Chairs were placed around the fire place, not in any particular order. The room smelt of salted hams and many other delicious food, being baked somewhere off, deeper in the inn. Dara's mouth began to water as she smelt the delicious foods. Everyone remained rooted in their spot, taking in all the aroma and appearances.

"May I help you?"

Everyone's concentration was lost as they stared at a middle aged woman, positioned behind a counter. Her facial features were tender and welcoming, along with her smile. She had her hair pulled back in a long pony tail, further enhancing her aging beauty.

"Um yes." Dara decided to speak up. "We are in need of some rooms for the night, and we were wondering if we might stay here?"

The inn keeper smiled, and left the counter. She walked in front of the group and surveyed them slightly. They appeared to be the normal, weary travelers. Smiling once more, she nodded.

"Can you give us a moment please?" Dara asked her.

The lady nodded, and returned to her post back at the counter. Dara released herself from Rael's arms and began to speak.

"Well guys, how much money do we have? I'm flat out broke." She said with a sigh.
 
Raven smiled at the strength Dara had shown by taking up command for the time being. He glanced once more into the fading sunlight before entering the inn of random choice along with the others. At first glance from the outside, it looked simple and clean but held an aura of welcome and kindness. Raven was impress of the interior as well and the feeling of it. Dara spoke up once more and had gotten the middle aged woman to allow the group bedding for the night after the woman browsed the group. Raven only wondered about a great deal of things in his mind before returning to the real world. Dara had finished her talk and turned back towards the group.

"Well guys, how much money do we have? I'm flat out broke." Dara said while a sigh escaped from her mouth. Raven took the time to jingle around in his giant pouch to find that he had used all the ruprees for the equipment he had bought but he reached inside his inner shirt to take out the remains of his hidden stash which was hidden in a pocket he had sewn onto his shirt.

"Well... from the looks of mine, I have roughly a hundred ruprees so... that should about cover most of the fees..." Raven wasn't sure if that would be enough but he was willing to contribute to the group.

OOC: Oops. I should really get active again.

IC:

Dark slowly entered the common room of the inn. It was a much more agreeable temperature than outside. Not too hot nor too cold. A nice freshness. Even in the warmest summers this place would stay cool thanks to it's thick isolating walls. When winter was at it's strongest point, those walls would make it hard for the cold to get in and for the heat of the fireplace to get out. He felt uneasy walking with his worn shoes on the thick, soft carpet, but on the other hand this inn seemed to be like a second home for travelers.
As his eyes scrolled the wooden ceiling, the cosy chairs and many more, Dark heard the rest mentioning money. With his right hand he dug into the pockets of his pants, handily fishing out his wallet. He opened it carefully and counted the rupees that he had left.
"I have about twohundred forty rupees left," he silently. It was his complete fortune.
But if it would help them to get a nice rest, he would help pay, keeping in mind that there could be more to buy.
