"Umm... people..." - Tayro interrupted, a bit irritated -"would you mind leaving these for later? Time's running short , you know? And the past... is past. Better not think about it. Now isn't really a nice time." - he said, turning his back on them, for them not to notice his sadness take over him.
I hate talking about the past...

Wiping a tear he shed from his face, he again turned to the others, smiling again... on that was merely a lie of his.
"Well, we're almost there, shall we?"



Walking a bit further through the waterway, the party finally reached at the end of the shadow pathway.

"Yes! We're here. We just need to climb these stairs and we're there! Let's go!" - the hylian notified, as he went first, grabing on to the stairs, and climbing up.

Navy Blue

Cloud had a hint of sadness in his voice. Which was odd because sorrow was the last emotion Cloud would show outwardly.

Nogare wanted to tell his own story about how his father died, and how he never knew his mother and sister, but he didn't want Tayro to feel any worse; he knew the way he ended his sentense;

Now isn't really a nice time

The way he finished was noticably sad. So, the fate of Hyrule is only getting worse; everyone I know had a tale about how they never met their parents, or their parents were killed... He looked over at Kasei. And possibly even not to even care... He looked away, and saw Victor's eyes. They were looking down, seeming guilty. And some pity the others, and haven't expeirenced such pain, but wish they had, when they don't at the same time. It seems everyone has their own tale to tell about their past... Not always bad...

He heard Tayro as he said something about stairs. It must have been the similar sounds of "stair" and "stare" that made him focus. He looked up. It was a long way. He could handle it, though. As he began to climb, he heard Cloud. Blast, Cloud. You're just making it worse. I need to think of something to change the topic. I'm the one who started all of this... "So, Tayro... What's up there? Where are we in the map you have? And how strong is this Helbastos you speak of? And, by what I recon, the enemies are going to be heavily guarded in the main room: Well, heavier, anyway..."

Whilst climbing, Tayro noticed Cloud's sentence.
Argh... don't tell me they're still at it! - he thought, getting quite angry. - I know they all have sad stories like me, but why must they keep calling them back? They'd be batter off closed and being forbidden. They all hurt so much... why do they want to relive this pain...?

He then heard Nogare speak, and was more relaxed.
Thanks for changing the topic...
He turned down to them, stil hanging on the stairs.
"Well, the map shows the base. We're still in the tunnel" - he notified -"but when we get up these stairs, we'll be in the lowest room of the map. From there, we'll have to ascend our way through the rooms until the one in the top. I can't say how strong Helbastos is because I never actually fought against him. All I did in the Orphanage was to make traps in which he did nt disappoint me and fell in all of them. Moblin Intelligence, you know the deal." - he porceeded, laughing a bit at what he had just said - "Also, I have no idea in how the gang is distributed in the rooms. All I know is that it's way more guarded during nighttime, as I had told you previously."

Starting to climb again, he added: "I believe you're going to meet a friend of mine."
I hope that she's okay. Those nasty moblins better not have hurt her, or they're in for some trouble!

While still climbeing the ladder James says to himself Hopfully Cloud will join my quest for revenge on these moblins. Then asks Cloud:Yo Cloud I'm on a speacial quest I'll fill you in later. alright?

Blast, James! Can't you just shut up about it!

"So, Tayro, what's up there?"

Hearing James' comment, Tayro lets one hand go of the stairs to slap his forehead, but as he attempts to do so, he loses his balance, and does an effort to get back on track. Gripping the stairs just in time, theboy sighs of relief, thanking the godesses for his luck.

To Nogare's question, Tayro simply replied, grinning at the man below - "You'll see it soon enough!"

He continued to climb upwards. Quickly, the once gray bricks turned into a green tonality, and ivys could be seen.
Good. everything's okay.
Abruptly, the stairs vanishes, and now, standing in an upright positions, Tayro sees his usual round staircase.
"As soon as we get up there, we'll be at the base!"- the hylian shouted below to his comrades.
Leaving no time to think, he starts running up the stairs.

Yeah! Sure!

Cloud looks over to Tayro.

We aren't reliving anything, Tayro. I, personally, find it better for me when I talk about my sister. I dont get hung up on the fact that she is dead. I think about the fun times, the happy memories.

Cloud shakes his head.

Ok, i'm done with all this past family talk, for now. We should listen to Tayro.

Cloud looked down at his feet. He just remembered something...someone! How could he forget...

"Well, that can't happen to me you know?! I don't have ANY happy memories of them! No memories whatsoever, to be exact! I don't know how they were, their voice! I am completely blank!!" Tayro said, tears starting to form in his eyelids, yet hiding his face from the group, not wanting tyo show his sign of weakness.

Trying to shove the subject out of his mind, he continued to go up the stairrs, until a pinkish light could be seen at a distance. As he approached the light, he noticed himself in one of his base's rooms. The lowest one.



"Master Tayro!!"-a girly-like voice said.
Turning around, Tayro spots a fairy coming in his direction.
"Oh, Elenina! You're okay! You got me worried, you know?" - the boy gladly spoke, a smile forming in his face.
"Those disgusting beings threw me out of the base! I'm so sorry I couldn't stop them, Master Tayro...
"Don't worry. It's not your fault. In fact, we're here to get my base back."
Only when tayro said 'we' did the pink-coloured fairy notice the group.
"Sorry! Didn't see you all there. My name's Elenina. Glad to meet you all."

James walks up to Cloud and wispers in his ear;Ok cloud look Im on a quest to kill the Moblins in navy blue. I could use all the help I could get. What do ya say?are you in?

Nogare, being right beside James, shoots a sudden glare at him. He looks away to great the fairy. "Hello. I am Nogare. I am a Hylian Knight of Hyrule... in fact, we all are..." He couldn't say more; he was lost in his thoughts... how could this happen? Who is she? He only could wait and learn...

Looking over at Nogare and then at the fairy and says; oh Im sorry the names James.Then walks up to the sign

As James approached the sign, the two old leaf-less trees wiggle a bit, which can be a bit startling. Suddenly, the floor wheere they stand begins to shake slightly, and, between the two trees, a gate emerges from the soil, blocking any attempt of passage.

Examining the small group, and watching the massive walls blocking the passage, Elenina flew near Tayro.
"That's what has been preventing me from entering... I can't get past those gates..."-she says, sobbing incontrollably.
"I said you don't need to worry Elenina! It's really all right! It's not your fault, okay?"- Tayro said, a warm smile printed on his face.
"O-Okay..."-she replied, starting to calm down a bit
The mage apprentice then turned to the whole group.
"I didn't place this trap here... it must be somethingf of theirs... I wonder how it can be deactivated? Any ideas?"- the boy asks.

Nogare observes the area. He looked carefully at the two bare trees guarding the gate. Were they pointing to something? Nogare observed them. It didn't appear so. It was reaching over something, though... "The Ceiling!" Nogare exclaimed. "The two trees reach over it. We could climb it and escape beyond the walls!"

Abit startled James jumps back and says alittle supprized:"Whoa.whered that come from!"
