The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Deity [CLOSED]

[Blake]

OOC: Sorry, I told Saiba I have been busy, and I was only here for my club. My computer has also been bugging out. But, I'm here now.

 

IC:

Billos slashed at one of the crimson plants, cutting one of its tendrils. Probably not fatal, or so he figured. He gripped his shield tighter in his left hand as he spoke. "Any ideas, Lorenz?" His mind was drawing a blank. He could attack, sword ablazing, but that had a high rate of failure. He wished he'd taken the time to get the other two spells, but he had to get out in a rush. Besides, they were hidden in three different parts of the temple. Still, being able to burn these plants, or push them away would be nice. For the life of him, he could not think of a plan. He just held his pavise, and stood his ground.

[Wyvern]

Enthai's eyes widened when Erzet mentioned a temple. Smiling brightly, Enthai said, "Yes! I see it almost every other day!" he could have jumped up and down, he was so happy. A chance to get out of boring life and do something!

 

Enthai frowned, though, looking at the two, and the brief look between them. Enthai was a little confused, but understood that this was serious. So he piped it down a little and asked, "What do you need to do?" He looked at Erzet, then at Sariri, and then againat erzet.

 

Maybe they would take him with them, on an adventure! But hopefully not into the temple. Enthai shuddered, awaiting a response.

[Andx]

Lorenz guarded the arrow well enough. Something had to have been wrong with Mira. No good archer would fire a clearly raised shield. Then she suddenly staggered a bit and something came off of her neck.

"That! That must have been doing something to her." Lorenz thought. He looked and saw five other creatures like what had fallen off of Mira floating around. They were moving towards her slowly. Lorenz's first thought was to charge at them and kill them before they could do anything to Mira. But if they were what had made her attack them he'd have to be careful.

 

To make matters worse at the moment the babas were tightening around the wall of earth and ready to attack anything that moved over the walls. That, and Billos was drawing a blank on ideas.

"I do have one. I'm going to get to Mira and kill those things around her. I'll need you to cover me from the babas. As soon as I move to go over the wall they'll most likely attack so once I move you need to attack them. Sound good enough?" Lorenz said. He readied his lance and shield to get on the move. With that he began his dash over the wall.

[Blake]

"Too bad I have a twist." Billos' finger was still moist with blood. He wrote in his book, and caused the ground to push the plants away to make a path for Lorenz. "Hurry up!" He called to the running Zora along the newly created path of raised land. the plants would have trouble with that, he hoped. He ran at the plants, pavise in front of him, and sword slicing in a seemingly senseless manner. He slashed at one of the creatures' 'necks' and let it slice through it, like a knife through warm butter, and held his shield up, ready to block.

[Aqua Girl]

Mira, Staggered, she twisted, and grabed her Ocarina she played a fast beat, the sky began

to darken, sudenly flakes of snow began to fall small flakes land on Lorenz. Sudenly large

amounts of frost begin to cover the enemies, "Now!" Mira shouts, telling him to hit the semi

frozen Spores, showing she was back to normal.

 

Mira takes out her sword, with her free hand, ready if they break free.

[Saiba Aisu]

Erzet brightened noticeably at Enthai's reply—finally, after traversing the Haunted Swamplands for so long, here was a piece of good news! "So you do know where it is!" Erzet said excitedly, giving Sariri a pleased glance out of the corner of his eye.

 

"Well, Enthai," the Gerudo continued, looking back at the Zora, "there's something we need to do inside the dungeon... Break a curse of some kind—surely you, who have lived here all your life, must have noticed that the swamp is getting larger with time? If the curse isn't broken, the swamp will continue to grow, until all of Hyrule is transformed into a barren, murky wasteland."

 

The dark-haired man frowned at the thought, clenching his hands into fists. "So you see," he added, "it's necessary that Sariri and I get there as soon as possible. Do you think you could take us there now?"

[Andx]

Lorenz almost stumbled over himself as Billos caused the land to rise right under his feet. Lorenz was already somewhat clumsy on land so something like that wasn't helping. Still he couldn't afford to fall now so he somehow managed to keep going. As he ran the raised earth seemed to keep him just out of the babas' ranges, not to mention Billos was no occupying them. As Lorenz approached Mira she had already recovered slightly and had attempted to freeze the floating creatures over. Lorenz knew as he got right up to the strange creatures that he had to make this attack count.

 

The creatures weren't exactly in a straight line, which would prove slightly problematic. But Lorenz felt he had to get at least three of them out of the air with the first strike. He was nervous as to what might happen if they moved to get him or Mira. If they had been controlling Mira, as it seemed they had, it could get complicated rather quickly. Lorenz raised his land and swung at the creatures attempting to strike as many as he could. He could only hope Mira's ice had limited their ability to doge his attack.

[Wyvern]

Enthai was brightened more, now. Now Erzet was happy, and he would be interacting with them. Enthai smiled widely and said, "Sure I can take you there! And about the swamp getting larger. I haven't noticed that exactly but the way you say it makes it clearer. I sort of just noticed that over time I couldn't see out of the swamp. before I could."

 

Enthai hoped that the new trio would get along well, considering they would cross the Swamplands. He picked up his bow and hung it on his back. Then he said, "Should I get my Octorok? He'll be great transportation."

 

Enthai told them that his camp was behind them, and the Dungeon was ahed of them. Maybe he wouldn't get his Octorok, for the sake of time....

[Saiba Aisu]

Erzet shook his head, frowning slightly as he did so. "It's fine, Enthai," he said. "Sariri and I have made it this far by ourselves with pretty good time, and judging by what you've told us, the Sunken Skull Dungeon isn't too far ahead. I think we should continue on foot for now."

 

The dark-haired Gerudo stood and hefted the supply satchels which he had so recently detested, suddenly filled with a burst of new energy and enthusiasm—for the first time since entering this miserable swampland, he felt like himself again, superbly self-assured in his own skills and abilities, and in the inevitable success of their mission, regardless of whatever obstacles dared to stand in their way.

 

"Let's do this," he said at last, having gathered all their supplies. His green eyes flashed in the dwindling light of the weak sun overhead as he nodded towards the Zora, evidently waiting for him to lead the way.

GM Post: Red Jungle

 

 

As Billos fast approached one of the Crimson Babas and, with a mighty swing, darted his sword at its exposed neck, he let his body fall forward with the weight, obviously expecting the sort-looking tissue to give away like rope under the knife, though he did have the foresight to draw up his own shield.

 

Unfortunately, the connective tissue of the plants was much tighter than previously assumed with the plants on Alert, as they made a motion that could have been seen as a very quick, very slight chuckle before darting at the smaller creature. One collided face-first with his shield, recoiling slightly from the contact and its stem softening due to the lack of concentration, whereas the other one managed to score a good hit on the back of Billos' calf, grazing it with his thorn-like teeth.

 

The Spore Tufts shivered when covered in a thin layer of Frost and quickly settled to a small movement path, covered in a thin layer of frost that seemed to limit their movements somewhat. As Lorenz approached, rightfully carefully and warily of the creatures, he nevertheless managed to bat away three of them quickly, shattering them to pieces as they struck the ground with terminal force. The other creatures seem to shift uneasily, as if contemplating their oncoming dooms, and vibrated more in order to shake off their new ice coats.

 

The large black spear atop the pillar of plant matter quickly expanded once more, returning to its full shape and once more dispersing large clouds of red spore into the air.

 

 

ENEMIES-

Spore Tufts - x2

Small, insect-like creatures born from Spore Stalks that stay aloft in the wind using their fluffy wing-like parachutes. Don't let their fragile-looking bodies fool you- They can control your mind if you let them get too close!

Crimson Babas - x2

A species possibly related to the more mundane Deku Babas, these carnivorous plants share a Hive Mind with the rest of the Red Jungle. They have perfect camouflage and stiff stems that can extend far farther than that of their kin- don't take them lightly. A tip- It's said it's hard for them to find enemies that aren't moving. Their stems soften if taken by surprise, or while stunned.

 

Current Location: Red Jungle, South Petal Chamber

 

[spoiler=Places of Interest.]

 

Places of Interest:

 

• South Petal Chamber: This is the first room you can enter in the main portion of the Red Jungle. It is a large, generally empty room, filled with large red trees that just seem like they're waiting to drink your blood. The sky is obscured by the canopy of the trees, which is crossed with blood red vines.

While it seems mostly empty, it is circled on all sides by the same stiff, red walls of plant matter that make up the outer walls. While it seems to have a little give, the walls seem completely impenetrable and have no give. At two points on either side, there are indents that may have once been door-like structures, but are now covered in the red plant-walls and twined with thick red tendrils of plant matter that don't appear elsewhere. The tendrils don't appear to be vulnerable- is there another place you can attack them from, I wonder?

 

• ???: What was once a door to the west, this gap between the walls has long been filled in by thick, red tendrils of plant matter that don't seem like they're going to budge any time soon.

 

• ???: What was once a door to the east, this gap between the walls has long been filled in by thick, red tendrils of plant matter that don't seem like they're going to budge any time soon.

 

• ???: What was once a door to the north to the eastern side, this gap between the walls has long been filled in by thick, red tendrils of plant matter that don't seem like they're going to budge any time soon.

 

• Strange Pillar: Located at the South-Eastern corner, this stiff red pillar of plant has a large black head that pulsates occasionally, drifting a crimson mist into the air. It didn't seem to happy to be shot, and called a bunch of other Red Jungle plants to defend it when attacked- Wonder if it's important to the Jungle some how?

 

You've ticked off the strange pillar and caused it to summon some enemies. On the bright side, it means that you must be doing something that causes it to panic, if it gives such an immediate reaction.

 

Exits:

 

• Outer Jungle: The bulk and perhaps relatively safest part of the Red Jungle, this giant ring of threatening and hungry-seeming thorned plants seems to have little to get in your way. It grows outward, building up new trees and plants in its way. While it is an uncomfortable and rather frightful walk, there is little to hurt you so long as you stay on the proper path. The air is thick with pollen that can cloud the mind, from every plant on each side.

You've already entered the main part of the Red Jungle, why do you want to go back so quickly?

 

 

 

 

[spoiler= Reg. post]

Sariri giggled, then grimaced when she looked down at her talons- which, naturally, were bare except for the very thing wrapping of cloth that passed as her own shoes. Understandably, it did very little in keeping the general muck of the swamp to accumulate against her claws, she noticed with distaste.

 

"Preferably quickly?" she offered at her new guide. "No offense, but this place is even worse when I'm not in the air... I always like to see different places, but this time, I think I might have to give uninhabited swamps a pass..." she muttered with a slight shrug of her shoulders.

 

She paused, then grinned as a glint came into her eye. "Hey, Erzet. It just occurred to me, but... what do Lone Wolves have to do with respect? I mean..."

 

She giggled a little to herself. "Are Lone Wolves usually Lone because they upset the pack? They're generally the ones you see around the fringes of the forest, away from the territory of the rest, generally picking on things like children or Rito with broken wings... Not saying anything about you, of course. Well, except you might want to get a better Title-maker-upperer..."

 

She hesitated for a second. "Title craftsman? Title... worksmith? Title author?"

 

[Aqua Girl]

As Lorenz skillfuly, swung his wepon taking out two of them, Mira smiled at him,

as she jumped over him, she sliced at the two remaining Spores, she then looked at Billos as

she saw him get attacked, she rushed off not looking back to see if she had hit the Spores,

"Billos! Watch out!" Mira said, she shuddered as she saw one of the Crimson Babas crunch down on his leg.

[Saiba Aisu]

[spoiler=OoC. Please read, Shadow Zero and Encapturer.]Okay, so Leoluiz has failed to post, even though he was online earlier today. I had really wanted to avoid this, but it looks like I'll have to assume temporary control of Skull Kid for the moment.

 

 

 

"I think it's pretty obvious that I'm the only one that will be able to stand on the platform," Skull Kid observed in his curious, piping voice as he inspected it, his eyes bright and animated behind his carved wooden mask. He gently lifted one foot and then pushed down lightly upon the circular pedestal, as if testing it. Satisfied with its apparent lack of threats, he shifted his body and stepped atop it, feeling slightly excited.

 

"Go ahead and push the switch, Raven!" he called to the Hylian Knight eagerly, hopping slightly from foot to foot. Although the diminutive forest-child knew little about machines or construction, he was certain that something important was going to happen—he could feel it.

[Shadow Zero]

(i thought that the switch was on the moving platform? xD)

 

Raven raised his eyebrows a bit, then shrugged his shoulders. Satisfied that His hand cannon was fully loaded and that he had at least fifty more mystery seeds in his seed satchel, Raven gets up from the floor and walks over to the switch in the floor. Wondering just what might take place, it suddenly occured to him that the Columns could be move to form a path between two of the windows if there was on outdoor path that they might need access to. I'll worry about that later. For now, lets just see what happens with the platform. Raven steps onto the switch that he was sure would activate the platform and here's the clunking noise that takes place when it sinks into the ground. Well, here goes.

[Saiba Aisu]

[spoiler=Regular Post.]Erzet frowned at his Rito companion with a dangerous glint in his green eyes. "Actually, Sariri," he growled, "the title Lone Wolf is a honorific in Gerudo culture. It doesn't mean that you're forced to live a solitary and cowardly lifestyle, making your living by preying on weaker creatures. It means that you can survive on your own, apart from the pack, with only your wits and your skills to keep you company—according to my tribe's legend, the Great Nabooru also referred to herself as a 'Lone Wolf Thief', and ever since then, it's been a title of respect among us."

 

The Gerudo paused as he tightened his grip on the supply satchel and shifted it more comfortably across his back as they began to follow after Enthai. "Of course," he also said in deadly serious voice, making it impossible to be sure whether he was joking or not, "it's also because we Gerudo Thieves have been known to be as hungry as wolves, devouring creatures whole... especially pesky, teasing Rito!"

As Raven's weight pushed down the elevated, decorated switch into the ground with a click, a low rumble filled the air. Skull Kid gave a high-pitched cry—torn between alarm and amusement—as the circular pedestal upon which he stood rose from the ground quickly, climbing to a great height. As the pedestal, which had only been the top of the concealed pillar, shot upwards, Skull Kid caught his balance lightly, and his cries transformed into excited laughter.

 

When the rumbling sound stopped, the forest-child was high in the air, balancing on the platform, far above his companions on the ground below. From so high up, he was bathed in the narrow beams of sunlight that filtered through the high windows. Looking down, he could see the tops of the six triangular pillars, which seemed to be worked into colorful silver designs.

 

Current Location: Meditation Alcove

 

[spoiler=Places of Interest]

 

Places of Interest:

 

• Meditation Alcove: A comparatively tiny stone room tucked away into the Dream Dungeon, you have only just recently revealed the path that leads here. Despite being fairly small, it has a rather high ceiling, through which narrow slivers of sunlight penetrate from outside. Directly in front of you is a large indent carved into the ground, littered with large pieces of stone that seem oddly crafted. To your right is another circular platform much smaller than the ones you have seen before, and another switch.

 

• Elevated Switch: Located to the immediate right of the mysterious square indent, this switch seems to be in good condition, meaning that anyone could push it down. Pushing it down has activated some hidden mechanism, raising the nearby pedestal high into the air, providing a handy view point.

 

• Circular Pedestal: An elevated limestone pedestal with the same sign of the Dream Dungeon carved into its surface, it is much smaller than the pedestals you have seen before. Since Raven pushed down the nearby switch, it has been raised high into the air, from where Skull Kid can see the tops of the triangular pillars.

 

• Carved Indent: A large square indent carved into the ground, it is only a few inches deep and is located directly in front of you. However, it is littered with six pieces of triangular stone that seem too perfect to be formed without sentient craftsmanship. While they are tall, they're not too wide, meaning that an incredibly strong individual would be able to push them if necessary—unfortunately, however, the sides of the indented floor means that they are unable to be removed. From above, they seemed to be worked into some sort of silver-painted design, vaguely reminiscent of an animalistic face.

 

Exits:

 

• Meditation Access: The drop-down stone door from which you just entered, it does not seem unlocked, meaning that you can leave the room at any time you wish. However, as it only leads you back up the spiral staircase to the Path of Visions, this does not seem very helpful.

 

 

[encapturer]

Deralen watched as Skull Kid was lifted up... up.... up into the air. Gazing upward, he could barely make out the Skull Kid, who was mostly concealed from his point of view. No matter where he moved nearby, he could not see any more of the skull kid besides his head.

 

"HEEEEEEY!" Deralen called up above. His voice traveled pretty well considering the room they were in. "ANY IDEA WHAT TO DO WITH THESE PILLARS?" he yelled again, quieter this time.

[Blake]

Billos winced at the pain in his leg, and slashed at the creatures neck. He got away from the creature, for a second's reprieve. He moved his finger down to his leg, and scooped up some blood. "Now you'll have your's, you accursed plants!" He pulled his tome out, and began to write, causing a nearby branch to fall. He wrote more, and the stick began to shave itself, seemingly with an invisible knife. It formed a Javelin. He picked it up, and threw it at the head of the nearest baba. He pulled up his shield, and prepared for any attack.

As Billos hurled his spear, it struck clear and skewered the plant through the head. Recoiling from the mighty blow, it twitched and whined as plant puss drifted from the bloom of the plant, pooling around it like strange, syrupy blood. After a few minutes, it twined itself on the floor, curling up as it quickly ceased its functions.

 

The other Baba, quickly realizing that it was alone in the room and devoid of allies, quickly lashed forward like a snake. Instead of attacking directly at Billos, it strafed, pulling its thorny stem across the shield and making a clear, loud sound in response before biting towards its enemy's side, bright red petals flaring in the crimson foliage and nearly blending in completely.

Sariri chuckled a little to herself, softy. She wasn't sure why, but eliciting any sort of emotion out of the usually stoic Erzet, even if it was anger or annoyance (or perhaps especially such emotions) caused her no end of amusement. While she was well known for prodding people like that, she found it was much more fun to do it to the desert thief than anyone else she'd met.

 

"I'll take your word for it." she chuckled to herself, winking a little as she followed behind on his heels. She smirked a little.

 

"You know... I lied about the 'not having a title' thing." she said brightly. "Well, no so much a title as it is a nickname. A lot of people called me the Blackbird... for fairly obvious reasons."

 

She giggled. "I prefer 'Yatagarasu'- the three-legged raven of Rito Legend. See, the Yatagarasu has feathers dark as night... and where the birds of the day fear to tread, the Yatagarasu takes wing! Having black feathers means that you're not tied down to a single spot. People don't see you in the night... you disappear as quickly as you came, leaving no signs you ever existed... And of course, the Yatagarasu has three legs. Though it may rest two, one is always tired, itching for the next adventure... It is never content to stay in a single place."

 

She smirked wryly to herself. "A better mantra for a thief than a traveler to be sure, but the creed's been good enough for me to live by all these years. I figure if I have black feathers, I may as well follow in the steps of the raven. So if we're talking animal allegories... Well, how many ravens do you think wolves manage to catch?" she said with a bright grin.

 

 

 

[Blake]

Billos winced at the pain, but was glad at his knowledge he now had. The plants seemed to be weak to their own wood, and weak in the head. Billos stabbed the head of the creature, hoping it would wither, and let go of his leg. He didn't stop with that onbe stab, and kept stabbing the fiendish topiary. He hadn't wanted to do his next action, but he needed to. "LORENZ! MIRA! HELP!" He called, hoping the plant would die before they arrived. He proceeded to hit it with his oblong shield as well as stab it.

[Andx]

During the decently chaotic occurrences Lorenz had just assumed Billos would be okay. Lorenz had not seen the initial bite to Billos's leg. However he had heard the recent scream. Billos needed help. The remaining strange creatures were no longer there so Lorenz was relatively certain Mira would be okay.

"I trust you're okay Mira. You should probably stay here and try to rest a bit, I need to get to Billos right away." Lorenz said. With that he took back off to Billos. He had killed a baba but the other one had just tried to get hold of him. Billos wasn't all that far away so Lorenz had gotten to him quickly. His spear still in his hand he rushed up and saw that the baba had attempted to strike Billos after hiding. Billos had already attempted to get it but Lorenz needed to make sure it died. Lorenz, a few feet away, threw his aquatic spear into the general are he saw Billos stabbing at hoping it would hit its mark.

[Saiba Aisu]

[spoiler=Regular Post.]"Blackbird?" Erzet repeated disbelievingly after the Rito girl. He raised one slim brow and gave her an amused look, taking in her dark hair and ebony-colored wings in a quick glance. "How... creative," he continued, in a voice that indicated the opposite. "I would have never thought to use that name for you—but of course, that's the famous Rito creativity at work."

 

His sarcastic tone soon gave to way to a more thoughtful one, though, as he mulled over the other title Sariri had mentioned. "Yatagarasu", he repeated once more, as if tasting the bizarre word on his tongue. "Now that's one I haven't heard before. Yatagarasu, the raven that's always searching for adventure... it suits you, without a doubt."

 

As Enthai continued to move in front of them, a gloomy dusk settled across the Haunted Swamplands and silence fell over the three companions. Erzet took a deep breath, vexed at how the moist air had transformed into cold damp so quickly. Frowning slightly, the Gerudo quickened his pace after the Zora guide, eager to reach their destination—the sooner that he and Sariri broke the curse on the Sunken Skull Dungeon, the sooner they could bid farewell to this miserable place.

"Give me a minute!" Skull Kid called back down, narrowing his bright eyes and squinting down at the silvery patterns worked into the surfaces of the six triangular pillars. He leaned forward precariously, seemingly unaware of the sharp drop that surrounded him—then again, this was typical Skull Kid behavior; the forest-children had a reputation for being reckless and excited. Despite the distance, Skull Kid's sharp eyes, used to picking out minute details and paths in the Lost Woods, quickly caught hold of the pattern, although he was unsure of what it was supposed to be, or what it signified.

 

"Hey, Deralen!" he said after a moment without looking, still focused upon the six stone pillars. "I think I know what you're supposed to do—push and rotate the pillars so they form a hexagon, like Raven said!"

 

Far below, the young Goron nodded his agreement, his eyes terse as he waited for further instructions. "Okay," Skull Kid continued, pointing at one of the stones to the immediate left of Deralen. "Take that stone, rotate it twice to the left, and then push it forward!"

 

With a heave of his muscular arms and a low growl, the Goron did as he was told, until the stone was set in place according to Skull Kid. The next few minutes were fairly uneventful for Raven, who had little to do but keep the switch weighed down, but they passed in a blur for Skull Kid and for Deralen, who was diligently following the forest-child's instructions to the last detail. Gradually, a shape began to form in the center of the indent, and from above, Skull Kid noted with satisfaction that the pattern was right, even if it was frightening—a snarling fanged mouth, blazing eyes narrowed in fury, and fierce catlike features.

 

With a final push and crunch as the last stone slid into place, completing the hexagon, Deralen moved away, unsure as to what would happen now, and slightly tired from his exertions. From above, Skull Kid could see that the silver-colored design was complete once more, arranged perfectly to form the features of the monstrous feline.

 

"Uh," Skull Kid called uncertainly, unfamiliar with the creature and slightly afraid of it, "it's some sort of cat monst—"

 

At that moment, the rest of his remark was cut off as another low rumble filled the air—the noise that the three Champions had come to associate with rotating stone. And sure enough, directly behind Raven, what had previously been a seamless and unremarkable expanse of limestone wall was spinning, revealing a small indent where another wooden chest lay upon the ground, slightly larger than the first.

Places of Interest:

 

• Meditation Alcove: A comparatively tiny stone room tucked away into the Dream Dungeon, you have only just recently revealed the path that leads here. Despite being fairly small, it has a rather high ceiling, through which narrow slivers of sunlight penetrate from outside.

 

• Elevated Switch: Located to the immediate right of the mysterious square indent, this switch seems to be in good condition, meaning that anyone could push it down. Pushing it down has activated some hidden mechanism, raising the nearby pedestal high into the air, providing a handy view point. In order to lower the platform that Skull Kid is standing on, you'll need to move off it.

 

• Circular Pedestal: An elevated limestone pedestal with the same sign of the Dream Dungeon carved into its surface, it is much smaller than the pedestals you have seen before. Since Raven pushed down the nearby switch, it has been raised high into the air, from where Skull Kid can see the tops of the triangular pillars. In order to be lowered, the pressure upon the nearby switch must be removed.

 

• Carved Indent: A large square indent carved into the ground, it is only a few inches deep and is located directly in front of you. Having used a handy vantage point, Skull Kid and Deralen have managed to complete the hexagonal pattern properly.

 

• Medium Chest: A medium-sized wooden chest, being slightly larger than the one you opened before, it has just recently been revealed by completing the hexagonal puzzle. It is lying on the floor directly behind the switch that Raven is standing on. It is likely that this chest contains some item that will help you advance through the dungeon.

• Meditation Access: The drop-down stone door from which you just entered, it does not seem unlocked, meaning that you can leave the room at any time you wish. Now that you've solved the hexagonal puzzle, there does not seem to be much point in lingering here, so collect the chest's treasure and return to the Path of Visions!

"O-Ok, Be safe....." Mira said, her conciousness fading, she falls over the ordeal had taken its tol on her she used to much of her magical essance. Mira awoke in her dreams, she was a little girl with her favorate white summer dress, "Heart theres no mushrooms would you go get some for me?" A womans voice rang out, mira grabed her daggar, and her pet Snow Wolfos, "Powder". Mira ran out to the forest, Powder folowing she had a secret place to get her mushrooms.

 

Mira Reached her destination a small bedow Mira knelt down in the grass, picking out her mushrooms.

Deralen quickly lumbered over to the area that opened up, where a new chest appeared. "There!" he called out, grinning all the while. Slowing down to a walk as he neared the chest, Deralen took a glance around the new area to see if they were missing anything. It looked all the same to him.

 

"Let's get this open..." he said outloud as he attempted to open the chest. It seemed different from the one upstairs, and in his hurry practically pushed off the upper left corner of the chest, complete with an accompanying "CRAAAACKUM" Deralen stared at the torn chest for a moment, before ripping the rest of the top off and tossing it to the side. He took out the treasure and showed it to Raven and Skull Kid, smiling.

As Deralen lifted the treasure into view towards his companions, it caught the sunlight filtering through narrow windows at the height of the room, gleaming a bright silver-gold. As Raven stepped closer to obtain a better look, he accidentally moved off the switch he had been stepping; with the pressure upon it gone, it popped back upwards with a mechanized click, and a low rumble filled the air as the platform upon which Skull Kid stood began to sink slowly back into the ground. The forest-child didn't wait for the pillar to stop moving, though—as soon as he was able, he leaped down lightly and hurried over towards the other Champions, eyes shining with curiosity.

 

In Deralen's large hand was a delicately wrought silver key which seemed to shine with a mysterious light that was entirely its own. This, then, was the treasure of the Meditation Alcove—who knew what wonderful secrets it unlocked?

 

Current Location: Meditation Alcove

 

[spoiler=Places of Interest]

 

Places of Interest:

 

• Meditation Alcove: A comparatively tiny stone room tucked away into the Dream Dungeon, you have only just recently revealed the path that leads here. Despite being fairly small, it has a rather high ceiling, through which narrow slivers of sunlight penetrate from outside.

 

• Silver Key: A mysterious and exquisitely-wrought key, it glows with a gentle and soothing silver light and was the prize for solving the Meditation Alcove's puzzle. Although it is of great importance to advancing through the dungeon, it doesn't seem like it will be much use here. Perhaps if you returned to the Path of Visions—wasn't there a locked door with silver chains there?

 

• Elevated Switch: Located to the immediate right of the mysterious square indent, this switch seems to be in good condition, meaning that anyone could push it down. Pushing it down will activate some hidden mechanism, raising the nearby pedestal high into the air, providing a handy view point. The platform was recently lowered when Raven moved off the switch.

 

• Circular Pedestal: An elevated limestone pedestal with the same sign of the Dream Dungeon carved into its surface, it is much smaller than the pedestals you have seen before. After Raven pushed down the nearby switch, it was raised high into the air, from where Skull Kid managed to direct Deralen and solve the puzzle. It has recently been lowered after Raven moved off the switch.

Mira was happily, smiling she picked the sush rooms humming, when Powder started to growl, a large shadow covered her she had a look of utter terror on her eyes as she turned around, to see Ganondorf. With an evil smile he kicks at her, but powder jumps out taking the kick.

 

Mira looks at her poor wolfos coff up blood, Miras eyes filled with terror so horible she cant cry or scream, Ganondorf raises his black blade and slams it down, Mira barely blocks with her dagger, looking in to his evil eyes only increaseing her terror as he pushes down on the blade, With a blood curdling laugh, "Ahahahahaha!"

 

Outside at Mira's side The neclace She made for Lorenz glows brightly.

Raven observed the Silver key closely. It seemed more then just a normal key that would be used in a dungeon. Perhaps this is a key to a door that would also affect the Dream World. Raven then suddenly remembers a door in the main chamber that was covered by silver chains and did something that would have been expected from Skull Kid. He grabs the key and before anyone can say anything goes "I know where this goes!" In a very excited voice and then goes running right out of the Meditation Alcove, up the spiral staircase and into the entrance chamber of the Dream Dungeon. He goes to use the silver key but suddenly stops short, noticing that His earrings seemed to be glowing, a bright blue light. MIRA!!! Raven felt certain the Mira was in some sort of danger, and right at that moment it worried him greatly, especially given how far away she currently was.

 

ooc: He-hem. Um, 'doesn't appear to be unlocked'? Saiba, I find this to be contradictory and somewhat confusing. please fix it.

And Aqua, I am not sure how you want to handle the whole thing of what is going on with your character. Perhaps if you could pm me concerning that?
