The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Deity [CLOSED]

[Saiba Aisu]

[spoiler=OoC. Please read.]

 

Now, after this post, you will be free to separate into your groups and leave Hyrule Castle Town on your journeys, provided that you leave with all the other members of your group. No one should be left behind. This post marks the tangible start of the first three dungeons arc; please be sure to RP the journey to each of your destinations realistically, especially in the elements of how long it will take. Feel free to RP certain details of villages, such as inns, food, etc. You will not be encountering any enemies until you have reached your specific locations. I have tried to include a capable RPer in each of your groups, so this should not be a problem—for an idea to where you'll be going, refer to the Hyrule World Map below.

 

 

 

 

Dream Dungeon (Raven, Deralen, and Skull Kid): The rock path that will take you high into the mountains west of Lake Hylia is to be found past the purple house near the lake.

 

Sunken Skull Dungeon (Sariri, Erzet): Find a way to cross Lake Hylia and navigate the muddy land that borders its southern side, until it eventually develops into swampland.

 

Red Jungle (Lorenz, Billos, and Mira): Move in a direct line from the gates of Hyrule Castle Town until you reach the brown-colored walls, which signify rocky terrain characterized by fertile soil. Signs of the growing vegetation will be present as you draw closer.

 

 

 

"The Red Jungle is located south of the Lost Woods, Mira," Princess Zelda said, tapping its location. Meanwhile, Lokiri silently replaced Erzet's torn money bag with a similar one, except it was in a darker shade of brown. "It hasn't reached the Deku Tree yet, but if it does... The idea of such a powerful, ancient, and wise entity like the Deku Tree turned malignant by the vegetation—we'd better not even think about that."

 

She turned to the Goron, who had just spoken. "I wouldn't hesitate to purchase items, Deralen," she replied. "While entering the Dream World will be necessary to navigate the Dungeon, reports still indicate plenty of natural and artificial puzzles and barriers in the Waking Wold—you never know, a couple of Bombs might come in handy."

 

She paused slightly, and a small, sad smile appeared on her exotic features. "And so it begins," she said to herself. Then, in a louder tone, "I have only just met all of you, but I feel as I already knew you, somehow... It appears that our fates are intertwined more firmly than I had originally thought—I wish there was time for you to rest and prepare for your journey, but as you can no doubt see, the enemy is on the move, threatening the people of Hyrule on the three planes of existence."

 

"Physical," she said, tapping the area that marked the location of the Sunken Skull Dungeon where Sariri and Erzet would be journeying, deep within the barbaric southern swamplands.

 

"Mental," she continued, indicating the Dream Dungeon high in the mountain range to the west of Lake Hylia, where Raven, Deralen, and Skull Kid would be journeying.

 

"And Spiritual," she concluded, tracing the marked path to the site of the Red Jungle, which Lorenz, Mira, and Billos would soon have to venture bravely into.

 

"Your journey begins now," she said, moving into Lokiri's storage rooms, where she had evidently stored six space-effective satchels, filled with food and useful items. "I have prepared two supply bags for each of the groups," she continued, distributing two each to Erzet, Deralen, and Lorenz. "They should help reduce the monetary cost the journey will have if you use them wisely. The money I gave you should be enough to cover most of your journey to your respective locations."

 

A pensive expression appeared on her features as she regarded them one last time. "I wish I could do more for you, Champions," she whispered mournfully, drawing her hood over her face once more. "But I have already been gone from the Castle for too long; the others will be looking for me. I will do my best to convince my father of the growing danger... Perhaps there is still time to rally our forces."

 

Concealed once more within the brown depths of her hood, the Princess of Hyrule moved to the door. "It is my wish that you will find fair fortune on your journey," she said, blessing each of the Champions, even Billos. "Lokiri," she continued, eying the Rito salesman. "I trust you will treat them with every courtesy if they choose to purchase any additional items before leaving. Now, good luck... to all of us."

 

And with that, she moved past the door and into the street; a moment later, she had walked past them in the direction of the Castle, and soon, she was gone from sight altogether.

[Andx]

Lorenz took the generous gift of the supply bags from Zelda. He then put the purple rupees into the bag he planned on carrying as it seemed he wasn't going to buy anything. This Red Jungle seemed like an interesting place. The only concern Lorenz had was about the amount of water he'd be near during all of it. If he had to he could use his jewel to at least dampen his skin but that couldn't substitute submersion forever.

 

As for his partners he was remotely pleased to have Billos as a companion. He didn't force himself on others which Lorenz appreciated. Lorenz wouldn't have minded Mira if he hadn't just offended her. It wasn't that he was feeling remorseful or sorry for doing it, but rather he knew the traveling wouldn't be fun if she hadn't gotten over it. True he should have been considering apologizing but he wasn't in the mood. He walked over to Billos who seemed more than ready to go.

"Sounds like we have a fun place to get to. I assume you won't mind taking one of the supply packs? I'd offer it to Mira but... I don't think I need to explain. Regardless, once she's ready we can leave." he said.

[Saiba Aisu]

Erzet sighed in exasperation, realizing just how far his by-the-book thieving mission had deviated and evolved into this. "It's all your fault for dragging me into this, Sariri," he told the Rito girl, eying her disapprovingly with stern green eyes. In actuality, however, the Gerudo was quite pleased with the choice of his partner, considering the other available candidates. Sure, they seemed nice enough—but Erzet highly doubted that any of them would be as useful in the upcoming mission as Sariri; and besides, he was still in the Rito girl's debt, meaning that he had to do his best to protect her until the price he owed her was paid. Although he had originally disliked the idea of this mission, he was now beginning to warm up to it—it seemed like contrarily to what he had said to her, there would be some challenge and glory involved in gathering treasure during the mission.

 

And everyone knew that Gerudo Thieves lived for glory and treasure.

 

"Alright, then," Erzet said to Sariri—and also to the others gathered around—hefting the satchel of supplies. "We have the most distance to cover, so we should be heading out. I know you need to pick up your Grappling Hook, but I'd also like to mail a letter before we leave. Hopefully you won't object...?"

[Shadow Zero]

Raven still remained thoughtful as Zelda finished, and then left. He knew that in the Dream Temple, it was more a matter of how strong your mind and heart were more then anything else. Even so, it couldn't hurt to be prepared, just in case. "Deralen, I do not know if this is correct or not, but I have the sneaking suspicion that there are going to be a lot of barriers that we'll need to get past using bombs." Turning to the shop owner, Raven says "30 bombs and that shield on the wall. Also, we could use a bag for the bombs."

[Hydra of Ages]

Sariri smirked up at him, chuckling a little bit while challenging his stern emerald gaze with her bemused ruby orbs, the edges of her beak sneaking upward. "Technically yeah. Though the alternative was you dying, so I'd think dragging you into this would be a good thing when the alternative is being eaten alive by Keese the size of Lord Valoo."

 

"Not at all." Sariri replied breezily to Erzet's mentioning of a letter, her attentions elsewhere. She glanced around the cluttered shop, stocked with weird and exotic merchandise one last time, putting her hands on her hip. She shrugged. "Lots of things I want here, nothing I need though. If I want to fly, I'll have to travel light anyway." she admitted.

 

She glanced at the glimmering jewels in her hand, and with a hint of reluctance, hid their gentle violet glow in her mail satchel, clinking them as they landed together in the money pocket. She replaced the satchel, checked her rapier to make sure it hadn't fallen out or anything, and fixed the arrangement of her clothes. After she was done with her anthropomorphized preening, she nodded at her partner.

 

"Let's go. We're burning daylight."

 

She paused.

 

"Well, assuming that daylight's important to us. Which I don't think that it is..." she muttered to herself. She glanced over at her wings and clucked disapprovingly at the rag-tag state of her wings; She hadn't really noticed earlier, but all that evasive action while fighting the bats really messed up the pretty order of them all.

[encapturer]

Deralen sighed and walked over to the counter nervously. "I have a bag with some bombs already, unless you want to carry some, too." He removed the bomb bag from a buckle around his leg and placed it on the table. "I'll take... 5 more bombs." He placed the payment for the bombs next to the bag. He wasn't sure if he'd feel safe carrying more than 10 at a time.

 

"I guess it wouldn't hurt to be.... prepared," he conceded finally. "Anything else you two think we need before we leave? Anything besides explosives?"

[Shadow Zero]

Raven silently pointed at the shield of which he had mentioned to the shop owner several times before, and was starting to become increasingly irritated at the lack of response. This is why I don'tlike dealing with strange shop owners that I know nothing about, they tend to fall short of the expectations i set due to what I had heard secondhand. Raven waited patiently enough for a response, but inside was seething with impatience, anxious to be off and get this over with so that he could get on to the next step of forging a new Triforce. He hoped that it would be relatively quick, but he knew that it was going to take much, much longer then he might like.

[Saiba Aisu]

[spoiler=OoC]

 

Chaos Zero, stop complaining. I hope you're intelligent to know that different people keep different hours around the world; for all you know, ProtoMachineKing could be asleep, so there's no cause to criticize his character in such a manner. And besides, the shield you're trying to buy won't be very useful in the Dream World, and it's quite expensive.

 

 

 

"Are you sure you're done preening?" Erzet asked dryly, leading the Rito girl outside into the warm streets of Hyrule Castle Town's Mercantile District. "Anyways," he said, transferring the purple Rupees with some of his own funds into the newly-purchased moneybag—the resulting fortune numbered in the high 400s of Rupees—"I hope the Rito Post Office isn't too far from your thief-of-a blacksmith. Like you said, we're wasting valuable time here, and I still need to pick up my horse, Casban, and pay the man who's been stabling him since I arrived in town."

 

The slender Gerudo glanced at his diminutive Rito partner. "I assume you'll have some other form of transportation apart from flying?" he asked her—although he didn't doubt that she could keep pace with Casban from above, Sariri couldn't be expected to travel in such a manner for long, even in the best of weather. They could both try riding Casban, but even though Sariri was exceptionally light due to her partly-hollow bones, the additional weight would most likely strain the desert horse and slow them both down considerably.

[Guest Tainted Black]

"Fine." Billos said, getting a supply pack. "Too bad we have so much stuff to carry, or we could move a lot quicker." He mumbled, referring to his spell. He quickly put the supply bag over his shoulder and almost walke out into town. Then he remembered he had others coming with him."Mira?" He called. "Get over here. You too, Lorenz." he said less harshly. He stepped out of the shop, and into the town. Billos was not a patient person, and barely kept himself from snapping about their slow moving selves.

[Aqua Girl]

Mira Gave Raven a stern look, saying don't caous trouble. Mira walked out the door and hopped on Frost shard and trotted along Billos, "Hey Frost shard if a strong horse she can carry bolth of your stuff." Mira Stated to bolth Billos and Lorenz.

"In all honesty she would rather carry them she hasent been worked for a while."

 

"Reahhh!" Frost Shard Let out confidently.

 

"Hahaha!" Mira Giggled.

[encapturer]

Deralen, with his bomb bag now slightly fuller than before, turned to his partners for this mission. "I have what I need. Raven, Skull Kid, I'll wait for you outside. Just gonna stretch abit." Deralen then turned around and walked out, making sure he didn't bump into the other champions or merchandise on the way. He passed Billos on the way out, who seemed in a hurry like he was, but was more demanding about it. Deralen wasn't sure if he could stand to be in a group with someone like him. At least I'm with people I'm familiar with this time around, Deralen thought to himself as he left.

 

Once outside, he began to do some stretches, as if he was preparing for a race. He's done marathon races before, so Deralen preparing in a similar fashion. He knows that Raven has his horse, but Skull kid.... Well, he could ride with Raven if it comes down to it, Deralen figured, as he watched the few people pass by the shop.

[Shadow Zero]

Raven decided against getting the bombs and the shield for now, but decided that some health potions would be helpful. He didn't have any flasks on him, but he did notice a few empty ones outside earlier that had been discarded. After being given a scowl by Mira as she had walked out, Raven sighs in exasperation and walks out to get the flasks. They were still there, not to far away from the shop and only slightly dusty on the outside. Picking all six of them up, he also picked up a nearby discarded satchel and some torn cloths before going back inside and buying six health potions, placing the price of the six flasks worth of potion onto the counter before walking out as he put the flasks and torn cloths into the satchel and tying it to the horn of Raizens saddle. Turning to Deralen as he mounted Raizen, Raven says "I can hold onto your bomb bag for you if you like. I can have it tied to Raizens saddle horn and that will allow you to roll along a little more freely, I think."

[Saiba Aisu]

[spoiler=OoC]

 

Chaos Zero, I told you to wait for ProtoMachineKing's reply. For starters, you are not free to RP items, like I previously told you. You broke the rules by creating those 'discarded flasks' outside. And then there's the fact that you bought six of the potions - you don't even know if there were as many as six red potions. Then there's the fact that you're only supposed to be able to carry two at a time, since the glass flasks are very fragile and certainly can't be expected to last the journey across Hyrule for very long. And Raizen won't be able to enter the dungeon with you, so...

 

[leoluiz]

Skull Kid was excited by the adventure. But not sure how it would fight in the world of dreams. "How we will defeat an enemy in the dream world?" He asked Deralen and Raven. "I mean, it seems that our weapons will not be useful in the dream world. Let's think before act. "He said "I did not want to end up as the guard who died."

 

"Beware, I came from the forest and say well, my brothers are not so kind to travelers, and worse than that. If you get lost in the Lost Woods you will turn a stalfos. I've seen it happen before." he said to Lorenz, Bilos and Mira

 

OOC: Please stop the ooc only posts. Pm him insted.

[Saiba Aisu]

[spoiler=OoC]

 

Leoluiz, like I said, I'm a GM, and my OoC Posts are made to keep order and direct you guys actively in the RPG. And anyways, I think you are taking this the wrong way - in the Dream World, all of your conventional weapons, such as swords, arrows, etc., will still work and will kill any enemies you encounter.

 

 

 

"Alright, Sariri," Erzet said, eying the Rito girl over the gray scarf that obscured his sun-darkened lower face, a supply satchel in each hand. "Like I said, we have a lot of distance to travel, and from what it sounds like, not too much time to get there—there's no point in both of us going to pick up your Grappling Hook and then both of us going to the Rito Post Office. I'll mail my letter and grab Casban; when you're through dealing with your blacksmith, meet me at the entrance to the Post Office, alright?"

 

He nodded one last time to her and then clasped her briefly on the shoulder before moving away in the direction of the Post Office Tower, which was settled upon one of Hyrule Castle Town's battlements, and conveniently, not too far away from where Casban was stabled. Within moments, the Gerudo had disappeared down a side alley with his usual amount of noise.

[Shadow Zero]

ooc: *facepalms* i thought that was just for the store, and i was thinking that skull kid and deralen would each have two of them. sorry about that. xD

 

Raven turns to look at Skull Kid and thought over his question for several long seconds before saying "Well, I suppose we should be able to use anything that we have on us, right? Still, yours is a valid concern. I think that as long as we believe that we have our weapons and other things on us while we are in the dream world, we should be fine." Despite his words though, Raven did have his doubts. For now though, he shoved them aside and decided that he would deal with it as needed and just hope that things didn't take a turn for the worst.

[Hydra of Ages]

Sariri gave the shape of the retreating theif a bemused look, shaking her head a little. "Well, he's always on the move." she said idly, walking towards the familar scramble that was the Castle Town Bazaar.

 

This time, she clutched her mail bag a little closer to herself. She was keenly aware that not ALL thieves in the town were allied with her, and she didn't want to be the one to explain to Zelda that she was unprepared because she let herself get pickpocketed by some two-bit lawbreaker.

 

She didn't fly, allowing her wings a little bit of rest time. She had mostly recovered her energy, but she still thought it would be best to conserve her energy. While she hadn't mentioned to Erzet her Kargaroc whistle yet, she still had that as a method of getting around. While Kargarocs were not beasts of burden and probably wouldn't be able to fly as far as she would on her own, as quickly with the additional weight, she had the advantage of calling more than one steed to her side. It didn't matter which Kargaroc heard the high-pitched sound of the whistle, they all recognized the call of a fellow servant of Valoo. If one got tired, she could always switch up to a new one quickly; No need to stick with the same steed the entire way through.

 

She wriggled her way from the nearly solid stream of people in her way, muttering a little and chirping loudly when someone stepped on her talon accidentally. Growling a little at the lack of an apology, she went on her way slightly bad tempered, until the familiar balding man came into sight. Once again, he was hammering miscellaneous little bits of metal, examining the shape they became after being firmly struck by his hammer, glowing slightly red from the extreme heat of the forge.

 

"Hey!" she yelled. The man ignored her, and continued to examine her shard of metal. "Hey! Old man! Rude guy! Here! Look over here! Heeeeey..." she said loudly, flapping her wings a little bit more to make it impossible for him to ignore. A couple people around took a few steps backwards awkwardly as the petite female's wingspan nearly quintupled her width.

 

The man sighed a little. "Sparrow, your hook's over there." he said, indicating a table with a claw and coiled bit of rope on it. Sariri gave him a sour look, but fluttered over the counter and, dexterously reaching with her talons, nabbed both items in each of her feet. She quickly transferred them to her hands before landing a few feet away, against a small length of bare wall. She glanced around briefly, making sure she wasn't in anyone's way, before she examined her new Grappling Hook.

 

The claw looked much better now, she noticed with a smirk. His craftsmanship was impeccable; The metal was slightly lighter, an obvious sign that a little extra metal was added to it during reforging, but it lacked none of the usual signs of Rito construction. She tested each of the points, and recoiled her hand with a pleased squeak; it was impeccably sharp, much more so than she had ever kept it. The ridges had been unsmoothed too; Previously worn away, they were invaluable in climbing up walls and the like.

 

She placed the claw on the tip of her own claw, testing it, and was fainly amused to see it kept its original Balancing. Rito weapons were balanced towards the front, rather than the back or middle, like most weaponry was. The reason was that Rito couldn't generate as much force as other beings, but they could handle their weapons being a little unwieldly, which might actually help their aim. She was glad for that; most Hylian smiths didn't even know how to balance an item anywhere but towards the base.

 

She turned her attention to the rope, and examined it. She struggled after a while; it was normal, standard issue rigging rope. Sturdy but light, not particularly expensive, made from a mixture of strong animal and plant fibers.

 

She quickly began tying the two items together, shielding herself with a wing. While she wasn't exactly patriotic, Rito prided themselves on their secret knots. Secrets of their workmanship were rare, but guarded fiercely; few others had the dexterity necessary to tie in the way they did, anyway.

[Andx]

"Right then." was all Lorenz said as he offered the bag to Mira to attack to Frostshard's reigns. Mira certainly seemed in a good mood considering what Lorenz had said to her. Hopefully it was a sign that the journey wouldn't be unbearable. He appreciated the fact that he didn't have to carry the bag as he disliked carrying anything that restricted his movement in any manner. Lorenz continued down the path with the other two a little ways. No one was around the area, odd but convenient. Who knows what people would have thought at the strange gathering of people.

 

"Well it seems we're ready, let's get going. We have a good bit of distance to cover." Lorenz said facing the direction of the Town's main gate. "And I need a minute or two in the river." Lorenz thought as he finished talking.

Perhaps the the distance seemed like more of a journey to himself than the others. There wasn't exactly a water route to the forest so he'd be going on land. He'd gotten used to living on land, but traveling on land was something different; something that Zoras weren't made for. With Mira on Frostshard and Billos, who was quite light on his feet, Lorenz was decently sure he would be the slowest member of the group.

[Aqua Girl]

Mira led the group off to the side where the river was, "Lorenz!" Mira said suddenly, Her voice seemed to startle Lorenz, She then scratched her nose in a incent fashion while saying, "we will stop here And take a short break to double check our equipment, maybe you wouldn’t mind taking a dip in the River? Your probably not accustomed to traveling and we wont get near water for a while...."

 

Mira said this looking at the sky, her attempt to be nice to Lorenz.

[Saiba Aisu]

[spoiler=OoC. Please read.]

 

It's suggested that you all have some form of transportation. Andx, didn't you say that Lorenz had a horse he didn't use very often? And Black, I'm fairly certain Billos has a horse named Cheval, right? Finally, Skull Kid has his pet Wolfos, so he should be able to keep up with you guys. From this point forward, if you have any questions regarding the missions in the RP, please PM either Blazinghydra or myself. Thanks!

 

 

 

Erzet smiled in spite of himself as Casban came into view inside his stable, his dark, glossy brown neck arched gracefully as he nibbled on some hay peaceably—he knew, unlike the groom, just how much of a delicacy it was for a desert-bred horse, who often had to make due with the sparse shrubs and hardy grasses that managed to grow in the arid Gerudo Wastes. As he drew closer, he clicked his tongue against his teeth twice; Casban raised his head at once, still munching on his mouthful of hay, and recognition and pleasure appeared in those large, liquid dark eyes. The dark brown horse neighed and snorted, obviously happy and excited to see his master.

 

After all, Erzet thought to himself with amusement, eating hay is very well, but he's going to get as fat as a pet pony if he doesn't get out of that stable soon!

 

"Hello, my friend," Erzet said, moving forward with the wary grace that characterized all Gerudo Thieves, his sun-browned hands catching his horse by the muzzle and stroking him tenderly along his jaw.

 

"Ah, Master Erzet!" a man called out, striding across the yard from the house which he had evidently just vacated. The man was large and sturdy, despite being of the elf-like Hylian Race—he could have certainly given Deralen a few rounds in an arm-wrestling match. "I'm glad to see you've returned," he addressed the thief, coming to a stop a respectful distance away. "I was wondering when you were planning on coming back."

 

"It's good to see you, Arvan," Erzet said with genuine warmth, lowering his gray scarf, indicating that he was relaxing his guard slightly in the presence of the stable groom. "I'm sorry I took so long. Business was unusually slow this time around, and I ran into a little trouble earlier today—nothing I couldn't handle, though," he said, seeing the question burning on the other man's lips. "Still," he continued, "something unexpected has come up, and I'm afraid I'll have to leave Hyrule Castle Town immediately."

 

Arvan nodded in agreement and understanding. "That shouldn't be a problem," he said, striding forward and opening the stable door, leading Casban out gently. Erzet smiled one of his rare smiles. "That's good," he said gratefully, reaching into his moneybag and drawing out two of the purple Rupees Princess Zelda had given him and handing them to the man, who bowed deeply before pocketing them—although Advan charged expensive prices for stabling horses, no one was better and more attentive to his job; it had been rumored that he had once served as a groom in the Castle's stables at one point. And on top of that, the Hylian certainly knew how to keep his mouth shut regarding his customers. If he somehow noticed that after each of Erzet's visits, reports of mysterious robberies began to circulate the city, he certainly never let on.

 

On Advan's behalf, though, he was quite curious regarding Erzet and the nature of his "business" in Hyrule Castle Town. After all, it was not everyday that one saw a Hylian man dressed and acting like a Gerudo—still, he knew that the thief paid him well to keep quiet, and he considered him a good sort; after all, the only robberies he had been able to connect with the dark-haired young man were those concerning the wealthy and privileged. Erzet didn't seem like the type of person to steal from the poor or downtrodden, anyways. His thoughts arranged along these lines, Advan brought out Casban's saddle, bridle, and other riding equipment, and with Erzet's help, the desert horse was ready to ride within minutes.

 

"I thank you, Advan," Erzet said, climbing Casban with a practiced air and holding him with a firm hand by the reins. "Until next time, then," he continued. "Take care." And with a last respectful nod, he drew the gray scarf over his face once more and turned Casban around, clicking his tongue softly—at once, the desert horse started forward at a speedy walk in the direction of the Rito Post Tower set atop one of the city's battlements.

[Andx]

"Right..." Lorenz said quietly. It was strange that of all things, Mira was trying to be nice. Most people would have been quite angry with him still. It was just at that moment that Lorenz then had an epiphany; he had a horse. If he was to be traveling across Hyrule Field then it would be much more favorable to be on horse back. He wouldn't be able to travel for long each day on foot, with a horse he wouldn't slow the group down. He jumped in the river for a quick second and immediately got out at the bank. He began in the direction of his home where he kept his horse. He walked back over to the rest of the group as it would have been strange if he had just left.

 

"...It seems in the middle of all the things that happened, I forgot I own a horse. I have to go get it or else I'll drag the group down considerably. I'll be back shortly." Lorenz said. The fact that he had forgotten made him feel stupid but he got over that shortly. With that he began to head for the center of town where it appeared there were actually some people. There had been an odd lack of people in the smaller streets they had been using. Though it was very brief, the time in the river had calmed Lorenz down a bit. He wouldn't be as angry as he had before and he would think a bit clearer.

"We've already taken long enough to get going. If there was some way to get home faster. Whatever, no use thinking about it. I get there when I get there." he thought.

[encapturer]

"I'll meet you all outside of town, then." Deralen said to his partners. "I'm sure you'll need to get your horses and stuff, so I'll wait there." Deralen began to sprint from the doorway, and lept into air before... landing on his two feet. It drew some strange looks from the townspeople, and the guards in particular.

 

"...Might be a bad idea to roll through town again..." Deralen muttered to himself, before walking the rest of the way.

 

While he said he would head straight outside, Deralen took a quick detour to the hotel he was staying in and checked out of it. He figured there was no need to run up a bill for something he wasn't even going to use. He didn't even go to the room; there was nothing there he owned.

 

Once on the other side of the drawbridge, Deralen sat down in the grasses off the main road, and gazed lazily in the direction of Lake Hylia.

 

"I'll just have to press through... huh..." he whispered to himself, lost in thought.

[Saiba Aisu]

Erzet craned his neck backwards, straining to see the top of the tall tower that served as the Rito Post Office as he and Casban drew closer to it, stepping slowly but surely through the crowds of people nearby, all of them eager to get their letters delivered, or even to receive their own correspondence. Coming to the entrance, he dismounted from the desert horse and tied him firmly to a stand for that very same purpose—despite looking very different from the mostly gray and creamy-colored Hylian horses, Casban looked like he would be fine for the short amount of time it would take for his master to write out and mail his letter.

 

It didn't take Erzet long to stride into the Rito Post Office and pay for a small sheet of parchment and the writing materials necessary. With bold, short strokes, he spelled out his message, addressing it to female Gerudo who led the Elders of the Clan of Thieves. Although the message was short and his diction simple, Nadere would be able to understand what he was really saying—that something serious had come up, that he would not be back anytime soon, and that everything was fine. Signing the letter with the narrow, block-like symbols that characterized the Hylian language, the Gerudo thief folded it, sealed it into an envelope, and stamped it with a seal that left three wavy golden lines upon its white surface—the mark that the letter was to be mailed to the Gerudo Wastes. As he handed it to a Rito who was managing the letters, he couldn't help but smile slightly under his scarf at the exaggerated expression of worry and fear that appeared on her avian features.

 

Reassuring himself that his letter would satisfy the Clan of Thieves for as long as was needed to reach the Sunken Skull Dungeon and deal with the curse there, Erzet untied Casban and mounted him, guiding him with firm pressure from his legs and heels—he had said that he would meet Sariri at the entrance to the Rito Post Tower, so here he would wait until he saw her.

[Shadow Zero]

Raven sighed before turning Raizen in the direction of the exit of Hyrule Castle Town. Looking down at Skull Kid, he says "I'll be heading to the Drawbridge as well. I already grabbed everything i needed, so I won't need to be heading back there. If you have an animal or something that you use as a means of transport, could you have get it and meet us by the bridge when you are finished here?" Raven pats Raizen on the back of his neck and says "Lets go." Letting out an excited neighing sound, Raizen rears upwards and starts running off to the gates of Hyrule Castle Town.

Skull Kid did not have time to answer, because Raven had already told Raiza to go toward the exit of the city. They were too far away to hear what he would say. "Goodbye, see you soon." he said to those who were still in store. "The Dream Dungeon" he repeated to himself before leaving the store. He played the music that is similar to the howl of a wolf again. Wolf was not far away, it had accompanied the group as much as it could without attracting attention. He jumped, and fell sitting in the back of the wolf. "Let's go Wolf, to the drawbridge." Wolf ran, they knew that the guards could recognize them.
