The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Deity [CLOSED]

[Shadow Zero]

Raven doesn't even try dodging the arrows. He simply reaches out with his hands and catches each of the arrows. Spurring Raizens sides to make him go faster, Raven soon caught up with Mira and tossed the four arrows at her all at once in the same way that a javelin would be thrown. "Come on, you have yet to beat me at this game Mira. Even if you won the race, you never landed a single blow." Raven knows that Mira would simply catch the arrows or dodge them, but it really didn't matter to him. To him, this was just a friendly contest, and he really didn't care if he won or lost, although that didn't mean that he wouldn't try.

[Aqua Girl]

Mira gracefully grabbed the arrows melted the ice and put them in her quiver she then tied her quiver to Frost, seeing that Lon Lon was only a 5 min walk she made her move, Mira somersaulted and landed in ravens sattle facing Raven she gave him a soft kiss, then she grabbed him tightly and knocked both Raven and Mira off They rolled down a hill in to some tall grass.

 

"Guess Raizen and Frost are gona finish the race..... We have a 10 minute walk..... if nothing hinders us... Hee Hee!" Mira says seductively.

"Oh and Guess I finally got you in a race"

[Shadow Zero]

Raven doesn't say anything at first. He just lies there with Mira on top of him wearing a teasing smile on his face as he tries thinking of a comment that wold fit the current situation. After a few seconds, he decided that nothing would come to mind and settled for kissing Mira deeply for a few seconds before getting up from underneath her and dusting his clothes off, seeing as they had gotten a little dusty from his being tackled off of Raizen. Kneeling back down on the ground again, Raven holds a hand out to help Mira up saying "M'lady" as he does so and wearing another teasing smile on his face.

[Aqua Girl]

"Oh Stop!" Mira says with a smile, draging raven down on top of her, instead of him pulling her up.

"You know all to well what I ment...."

 

Frost Shard Knew what was planned, so she wouldent lose the race she Increased her speed takeing the lead, she let out a sarcastic neh, "Hurrrhh!" Frost shard reared teaseing Raizen, She let out another loud Neh before rushing off.

"Reahhhh!"

[Shadow Zero]

"You really don't know when to give up do you?" Raven says teasingly as he is pulled down on top of Mira. Instead of landing on her though, he throws his weight to the side and rolls over so that she is back on top of him instead. "I guess I should count myself lucky that you're so stubborn, otherwise you'd still be stuck with your tribe. Raven kisses Mira again before she has a chance to respond and decides that since it would be a little while before the others showed up, he might as well enjoy the last little bit of time he would get to have alone with Mira before everyone set out on their separate journeys.

At that same moment, Frost Shard had just finished the horses equivalent of trash talking at Raizen. Deciding that actions spoke louder then words, Raizen only gave a single indignant snort before increasing his speed to twice that of Frost Shards, catching up with her and passing her shortly before arriving at the earthen and grass slope that served as the entrance point into Lon Lon Ranch. Raizen could go even faster if he wanted, but he needed to save his strength for the journey ahead, and so decided that it would be best to not go all out just then.

[spoiler=OoC. Please read, Aqua Girl and Chaos Zero.]

 

OoC: Okay. I'm trying to be patient with you guys, but you both keep trying my last nerve. For starters, do you have any idea how difficult it is to catch a single arrow with your bare hands? Not to mention four! And when did I approve your horses of having magical elemental powers and "forms"? Please edit your posts and remove those, since they were not accepted details of your characters. You both need to stop acting like you're the ones directing the RP, because it's going to get you both kicked, and you need to stop it now. Stop taking these liberties, period. I am serious, you are both on your last chance.

 

Also, I am all for your characters being married and having a pleasant relationship, but keep the kissing and seductive comments to a minimum - I've seen too many good RPs closed down because of similar posts, and I don't want that to happen here. I'm not about to permit my RP to be shut down because of something so ridiculous. Thanks.

Erzet woke as soon as the rising sun's light filtered through his window, catching his face and illuminating his sun-darkened features. He sat up in his bed and stretched luxuriously like a cat, arching backwards in an extremely satisfying yawn. After a moment, he swung his legs sideways off the bed and onto the floor, moving around quickly and quietly as he exchanged the clothes he had slept in for his standard Gerudo outfit. From the peaceful, pleasant silence that surrounded him at the moment, he gathered that the other lodgers of The Dancing Fool were still fast asleep. From the position of the sun in the sky, he estimated that it was around five or six in the morning, meaning that they would make good time if they set out as soon as possible.

 

As he gathered his belongings, leaving the bed ruffled so some wetlander woman could feel useful by making it, he wondered idly how Sariri had spent the night. Then he opened the door of his room and moved out into the hallway, knocking firmly on the door of the room where the Rito girl was sleeping.

 

"Sariri?" he called, his tone unaffected by the early hour of the morning—personally, the Gerudo thought that most of the Hylians were being lazy if they slept in too much later after them. "It's time to go. Come on, hurry and get dressed. I'll meet you in the tavern so we can grab something to eat before we go."

[Hydra of Ages]

one Sariri's pointed ears twitched, grumbling a little as she curled up deeper into her blanket. It was slightly scratchy and obviously softened artificially with some sort of cleaning solution that irritated the stalks of her wing feathers, but then again, she had spent the last week or so sleeping in a tall tree or even worse, on the ground of Hyrule Field. The few times she hadn't been woken abruptly by stalking night beasts hadn't exactly been the most comfortable points in her life (especially when compared to her feather-stuffed mattress and soft blankets back home), and comparatively, the comfort of the inn was amazing. Even the times she had gotten to an inn before the night, she often didn't have enough money to afford anything but the inn where you were as likely as not to be robbed, raped or murdered in your sleep.

 

Finally, she grunted and stood up. "Fine, fine, I'm up, I'm up." she called to the door. She growled a little bit under her breath, muttering as she dragged her petite form from the comparatively massive bed to the floor, where her talons touched the wooden planks with a slight clink. "Geeze, I'm the bird yet he's the one up at such a blasted hour." she muttered to herself, grunting as she felt her head pound when she got up.

 

"Hangover too... perfect." she muttered, then sighed. Well, she'd faced worse, both hangovers and situations.

 

She stretched out carefully, trying not to trigger another head-pounding, and sighed as she felt the ligaments stretch. She glanced around for a second, looking for her clothes and finding them more or less scattered all around the bed; Except, of course, like always, her mailcoat was properly hung up on a stand.

 

She chuckled a little. Some might find that suspicious, her garb just tossed around like that, but she slept in just an overly large nightshirt and wasn't particularly organized. She'd spent too many nights against the grass in her day-clothes to want to wear them when she'd got a fancy bed too.

 

Quickly stripping of her thin layer of night-wear, she clothed herself much more aptly than one would expect for a five-foot Rito with a hangover. They obviously wouldn't have known, however, that Sariri found herself in this exact situation many, many times; It came with the territory of being a traveller, she supposed.

 

She found her rapier against the left side of her bed, odd as it was usually tucked into her belt (which she had already found against the right wall), and quickly tucked it in its proper spot. She picked her Kargaroc whistle from the desk (one of the objects to make it there) and donned it, before finally unlocking the door. She walked out while pulling on her overcoat, concentrating on doing up the complex network of brass buttons and straps in order to take her mind off her pounding head.

 

On her way into the tavern, she collided with a large balding Hylian, and muttered a soft, slightly grumpy apology before finally fixing the last button on her coat. Smoothing it out, then unbuttoning again as always, she turned to scan the tables for the familiar Gerudo Thief. She needed something to eat, she recalled. She hadn't eaten much last night other than the wine; She was so used to hunger nowadays, she rarely remembered it until she felt faint.

[Saiba Aisu]

Erzet caught Sariri's bleary, irritated gaze with his own and waved her over to the table where he was sitting and drinking a weak coffee. It was so early in the morning that the only other patrons in the tavern were the cook and several barmaids mopping the floor and scrubbing the tables. In the background, the clink of plates and cutlery could be heard—evidently, breakfast was in the midst of being prepared.

 

The Gerudo's catlike green eyes were amused as Sariri sat down, looking a bit better than last night, but still obviously in the throes of a nasty hangover. "You look awful," he said flatly, laying his hand down upon the wood of the table—there was no point in denying it, the Rito looked like she was half-Moblin at the moment.

 

"I know exactly what you need," he said firmly to her. The Gerudo turned and beckoned to one of the passing barmaids, who was carrying two large pitchers full of water towards the kitchen, skirts swaying like a bell. "A large brandy," Erzet asked her, indicating the woe begone-looking Sariri. "And plenty of hot herbal tea, too."

 

The barmaid nodded and bowed slightly, which was quite an achievement considering the fact that her hands were full, then wound her way through the maze of rickety tables, chairs, and stools towards the steaming warmth of the kitchen. Erzet turned back to Sariri, his expression grim. "Now," he continued menacingly in a cold tone, "you are going to drink all the brandy and hot tea you can manage, or I will force it down your throat!"

[Hydra of Ages]

Sariri looked a little bemused, despite her head still being in agony. "Hot liquid and more alcohol? Looks like Gerudo hangover cures aren't so different from Rito cures... though we drink Death Mountain Rum. It has tar in it. Enough said." she grumbled a little.

 

She glanced at the window and clucked a little when she saw her hair. It looked about as good as one would expect a hangover sufferant's hair to be, and she subconsciously clawed at it futilely with one hand, trying to pull it into place. She grumbled a bit, noticing quite quickly that it simply refused to be drawn back into order without a proper brush. Or a large weapon. Either would work.

 

She grunted when the alcohol and hot tea were brought to her, sighed and poured a little of the amber liquid into a small glass. She silently clinked glasses with his coffee cup, and downed it in a single gulp like an expert, followed up by a large drink of the tea. She paused for a couple seconds to let the sensation run through her, and after a moment, refilled the small glass again.

 

"This might take a little while." she warned, before drinking her second shot.

[Blake]

Billos pulled up to Lon Lon Ranch on Cheval. It was night now. He figured he was late. He got off of the horse and made a whistling noise with his middle and index fingers on his right hand in his mouth. He expected Lorenz, at least, to hear him. After he whistled he got down on the ground and stared up at the stars. "Wow... how serene... and deceitful." he mused as he looked at the stars. "Thery seem so peaceful and quiet, although the world is, supposedly in turmoil..." Then he growled lowly, to himself. "Bah! Why am I thinking like this?"

[Aqua Girl]

Mira walked up on Billos, her hair had a stick in it, "Sorry I'm late......" Mira said, as she pulled out the stick in her hair and sat next to him, Mira looked up at the stars, "The stars... Are so selfish looking so peaceful when our world is on edge..... Lorence isn't here yet?"

 

Frost Shard ran around with Raizen playfuly niping him, while being chased by the other horses. When Frost saw Mira she ran up to her and nuzzled her owner.

[Shadow Zero]

Raven walked over to where Raizen and Frost Shard was as Frost Shard went running over to Mira. He had originally intended only to rest at Lon Lon Ranch for a short amount of time and then be on his way, but Mira had been very insistent on staying put for a while, and even a little selfish about it in his opinion, although he really couldn't blame her. Raizen saw Raven and went running up to him, neighing joyfully as he did so. Raven smiled and reached up a hand to pat Ravens snout for a few minutes, looking up at the sky as he did so. Raven heard Miras comment about the stars and silently agreed. His one solace was that unlike the stars, the people actually living in Hyrule was able to do something about the current situation so that things could return to their peaceful state, allowing everyone to no longer feel unduly stressed by an invisible black cloud. Still, I wonder if things will actually get better. After all, it is not the Triforce itself, but the people in the land of which the Triforce is said to watch over that shapes its future.

[encapturer]

"H-Hey!"

 

Deralen took off not soon after Raven blasted off ahead. To think he would just take off like that... how dare he! Still, it was a time to enjoy himself before the real challenge began, so Deralen began rolling along the plains, gradually picking up speed.

 

He was familiar with northern Hyrule field, but the terrain south was unknown to him. Still, it should be navigatable, Deralen figured as he continued forward. Up ahead, he spotted Raven speaking with Mira, his wife, before... they both fell off their horses. Huh?! Deralen slowed a bit in order to check if they were fine, but they were laughing it off, so he figured they were fine.

 

Of course, he still had to catch up with Skull Kid, who was still heading towards Lon Lon ranch up ahead. "Alright!" He yelled to himself, as he sped up once again, now going down a small incline. He continually maneuvered around to get the best slopes, before aiming towards Skull Kid's Wolfos and working up a sudden burst of speed. He was able to pull up behind the Wolfos, who was going suprisingly fast. Deralen could not say anything, so he just sped up just a bit more to pull up next to Skull Kid. All he needed now was a good slope or jump to take the lead.

[Andx]

Lorenz had pulled into Lon Lon Ranch about ten minutes after Raven, who seemed to be forgetting Lon Lon Ranch and his destination weren't similar directions, and Mira. After speaking briefly with the owners, who were decently surprised to have Zora customer, Lorenz had his horse set up in the ranch for the night. The owners were quite generous, only asking for twenty ruppees. As Lorenz had two hundred and fifty with him he now had two hundred and thirty.

 

He walked aimlessly around the edge of the ranch for a bit. It was bit easier for him to move around in the cooler night air. As he was staring off in the distance he heard a whistle. By no means did he recognize his companions by the sound of their whistle but he decided to see who it was regardless. He went in the direction he had heard the sound and saw someone standing next to a horse. It appeared to be Billos. As Lorenz continued in his direction Mira had approached Billos. Regardless Lorenz kept walking until he was right there next to them.

[Saiba Aisu]

Erzet winced slightly at the mention of rum in which tar was involved, but said nothing, watching Sariri consume large quantites of brandy and hot tea with almost indecent fervor. Although her usually glossy and well-groomed raven hair was disheveled, he could still read stubbornness in the red-tinted cast of her gaze.

 

"Take as long as you need, Sariri," he offered, pushing back his chair slightly and reclining with wary catlike grace against it. "So long as we leave within the hour, we should make good time by nightfall."

 

Erzet drew out the map that Princess Zelda had given them and spread it out on the scarred but clean wooden surface of the table, indicating the route they should be traveling to reach the Haunted Swamplands in red. He tapped the parchment and traced the line with one finger, thinking carefully. If they kept at a good pace throughout the day, they would be able to reach Lake Hylia in two days or so—it looked like he hadn't accounted for the gentle, rolling country that characterized Hyrule Field and made for such easy riding when he had originally calculated the length of their journey.

 

He looked up from the map at Sariri, who was still guzzling copious amounts of alcohol and tea in an attempt to dispel the adverse effects of her hangover. She looked only a little better, but as Erzet had previously displayed, he wasn't about to indulge her weakness by avoiding conversation—he considered her far too strong and independent for that.

 

She drank the wine, the Gerudo thought mercilessly, she knew what she was getting into, and she'll pay the consequences. But it had better not affect our mission in a negative manner.

 

"Sariri," he said, sliding the map over to her and turning it so she could better see its contents. "Have you considered how we're going to navigate past the Haunted Swamplands when we arrive? Princess Zelda said it would be a difficult process—I suppose you can always fly, but even if I leave Casban behind, it'll still be slow going for me."

 

Erzet's tone was perfectly composed—he would have liked to possess the ability to fly, since it would make their upcoming journey through the Haunted Swamplands that much easier, but he wasn't going to waste any time complaining about it or wishing things were different. His ever practical mind had learned early on in life that grumbling rarely did anything to solve one's problems; instead of trying to adapt the treacherous swamplands to his needs, he would just have to adapt to them instead.

[leoluiz]

Skull Kid was getting sleepy and Wolf began to slow down. "Deralen, I have to stop. Wolf is getting tired. If you can, continue." he said jumping off Wolf's back.

 

Wolf stopped and lay down to sleep, after all they always wake up very early. Skull Kid lay on the soft fur of Wolf and started playing flute, looking at the stars. He slept a few minutes later.

[Shadow Zero]

Raven stopped paying attention to Raizen after a while and made no attempt to stifle the yawn that emanated from him, clearly speaking as to how tired the long days journey and the time he had spent with Mira had made him. Taking out the map, he unfurled it only briefly before rolling it back up as tightly as needed and sticking it into his seed satchel. Grabbing a hold of Raizens reigns, he led him off to the paddock where the other horses were. It was a clear cool night, but not overly chilly, and so Raven decided that Raizen should sleep outside tonight. As he payed the owners of the ranch, Raven heard Raizen snort tiredly and smiled, realizing that Raizen was likely to be even more tired then he was. The fee for a nights stay paid, Raven patted Raizen on the snout briefly before walking over to a clear patch of grass and lying down. In a few minutes, Raven was sleeping soundly and Raizen was already drifting off to sleep, which for him was quite an accomplishment as it usually took a full half an hour just to start drowsing off.

[Hydra of Ages]

Sariri took her last swing of tea, gave Erzet a small grin, and quickly struck herself across the face. Recoiling from the shock of her own blow, she groaned a little, her pupils constricting a little bit.

 

She sat up a little. "Okay, I think I'm fine now." she said with a hint of a giggle, before pulling a small piece of twine from her mail satchel. She was now at the point of intoxication where she could ignore the pain, though she still retained most of her mental integrity. It was a fine balancing act, but the combination of the heat from the tea in her stomach, the numbing of her nerves by the alcohol and the shock from the slap seemed to have done the trick.

 

She reached behind her head and gathered up her hair into a ponytail, tying it fast with the piece of twine, making sure to try and claw out some of her tangles while doing so. Eventually, she managed to get some semblance of order, her hair's glossy quality more or less masking out its disheveled qualities.

 

"Hm... well..." she hesitated a second, before her Kargaroc whistle caught the corner of her eye. She smiled a little.

 

"Hey Erzet... how much do you weight?" she questioned.

[Blake]

"So..." Billos began as he lay, staring up at the night sky, "Where do we begin on this journey?". He plucked a piece of grass and fidgeted with it until nothing was left. Then, he plucked another and put it in his mouth. He would have put his hands behind his head, like a pillow, but his scars would show. Tose were to stay hidden at most every cost. He waited for an answer from either of them, and ignored the impatient nagging in his mind, He knew this required time and thought, even if he did not want it to. Thankful, the grass wa keeping his mind busy.

[Aqua Girl]

"Well the girl in me says to sleep the night, but the adventurer in me says to go tonight..... I guess Its up to Lorenz" Mira said happily, she layed back, incedentaly she was a little higher than him so she saw a scar on his neck, "Its just me and Lorenz..... I know it might be a touchy subject but Will you tell me about your scars? I mean the one on your neck and wrist I saw earlier today......"

 

Mira sat up, she dident mean to offend him, she slightly smiled hoping he wouldent go balistic.

[Saiba Aisu]

Erzet frowned slightly at the Rito girl's question and at the suddenly crafty expression in her red eyes. He could face two Demon-Keese without being frightened, but there was something unnerving in her gaze. He hoped that the recoil from her own slap hadn't somehow affected her mind adversely—he needed Sariri alert and bright if they were going to make it through such treacherous terrain safely. She still seemed in control of her senses, though, if her fussing with her hair was any indication.

 

"I weigh around 165 pounds," the Gerudo replied after a moment, stretching back in his chair. "Fairly light by human standards, though I imagine that would seem like a lot to a Rito like you."

 

His green eyes caught and followed her surreptitious glance at her Kargaroc whistle, and he recognized it as the one she had blown to distract the two Demon-Keese when they had abducted him in Hyrule Castle Town yesterday.

 

"Just what exactly are you planning on calling up, Sariri?" he demanded. "An aerie of some kind?!"

[Blake]

Billos quickly pulled his cloak tight, and got up. He let out a low growl. "Don't you dare!" He snapped. He hurried away, to God knows where, around the ranch, brooding at the fact he had let his scar be seen. How dare they ask?! "Hmph! These are mine... no one is to see them..." He thought as he hurried away. He considered using Farore's wind, but it tired him out too much to be used more than 2 times a day. He hated that drawback almost as much as he hated his scars, and he abhorred those. HE found it ridiculous that the so called 'Hero of Time' used this spell at will, without getting tired, yet he got tired after one use.

[Aqua Girl]

Mira Seemed to get almost as sad as the time Lorenz rejected her Soul Ice, mira wandered of after him when she finaly found him, she saw him sulking, she walked up to him and sighed,

"You know...... I sort of understand how you feel...." She said, in a sad tone.

"Although what happened to me was probably nothing compared to what you went through...."

[Blake]

Billos glared at Mira. "What would you know of the pain I went through." Oddly, he said that part without emotion. "Do you know abuse? Sadness? The will to die?" He questioned, still emotionless. "I think not." He spat as he said it. He stared up at the stars again, but kept his cloak tight around his head. He did not like his scars being noticed. Not one bit. Unfortunately, he had to bear the symbols of his ragged childhood, as if they were a badge of some sort. If only he could return said badge...

[Aqua Girl]

Mira had tears welling in her eyes, "Your right I dont understand the mental abuse you went

through, but I understand not being able to show your body......" Mira said.

 

With in seconds of her words the klank of armor hitting the ground is heard behind Billos,

Mira's chest now revield with the exseption of her bra showed a scar that clearly went across

her chest,Mira put her hand on Billos's shoulder and turned him around.
