You see a Zora, he looks quite parinoid, he looks around as he walks, as if he were being chased. He is an average height for a zora, and wears a leather shirt, and leather pants, with a pair of leather boots and gloves. On his side, rests a blade, a longsword. Around is neck is a neclace, the pendent on it is that of an eye.

This, is Taric, the man Denning is to find. This may be your only chance to save the man, or your chance to help Denning, and trap the Zora.

The Zora is now under the shade of a tree, still searching for his hunter. Denning is not yet here.

Alpha slowly meanders across Hyrule Field, traveling to who-knows-where, when he spots the Zora. He senses the fear that the person struggles to hold within himself, a task at which the Zora fails utterly. At the sight of the eye on his necklace, Alpha's thoughts immediately think of the Hakiems, but the symbol is far from the same as those dreaded assassins.

Deciding that the Zora isn't his enemy - at least, not yet - the Sheikah lowers his hood and brings his cape behind his shoulders, his way of giving others the impression that he comes peacefully. Approaching him, Alpha asks calmly, "Is something the matter, Zora?"

Ah! Why hello! Wait, wait, are you one of THEM!? They are coming for me! Its not safe! I need to hide! Please! They are coming! Help me! I dont want to die! I dont want to be a traitor! This is all wrong! Please, please, I need help! HE told me he would reward me! This is far from a reward! Please, good sir, help me!!!!

Alpha puts up his hands in a futile attempt to ward off the verbal storm. "Wait-wait-wait!" he finally orders, his voice becoming a commanding bellow. "I have no idea what the heck you're talking about. You'll need to explain yourself. Now. I can't help you if I don't know who 'THEY' and 'HE' are."

"THEY, are the ones who used to follow HIM, when he came back, THEY left the orginization, HE came to me, and had me spy on THEM. THEY found me, and want me dead, but they are too late! Ive given HIM the infromation, my reward is soon to come, but it had better come before I die! Please! I know THEY are coming, I just know..."

As the Zora says this, Denning enters view, and walks over to Alpha. He sees the Zoras neclace, and his blade.

"Why, hello, Alpha, and you, would you happen to be Taric?"

At the sound of the name, the Zoras eyes widen.

"Taric? You! Youre one of THEM! I will see you dead!"

The Zora draws his sword and charges at Denning.

Alpha instantly brings out his staff and uses it to block the blade's path. Turning back to his friend, the Sheikah asks, "Hey Denning, mind explaining what the heck is going on? This Zora's too frightened to paint me a good picture."

It's at this point that Grenada enters the area, and upon seeing this Zora rush toward Denning his eyes tighten and also take to a red complexion. Alpha had already placed his staff in the way, but Grenada wasn't sure if that was enough. He drew his sword quickly and pointed it up toward the heart of the blue creature. He walked closer, eyes fixed upon the face of this fish with a deadly glare.

He nods to Alpha as if in agreement that he has no clue what's going on. He just knew that the Zora attacked, and he wasn't one to watch a fight without knowing why.

Blank appeared, as if smelling a fight from a mile away. Yes, that would be a better excuse. No one needed to know that he was on his way to the Wishing Well to get free ale. From a distant point, he could make out four figures. Two Sheikah, a Deku and a Zora. From a closer point, it became less vague. Alpha, Denning, Grenada, and a Zora. Closer still - that is, standing just a foot beside the cleric - he watched the unidentified Zora charge, hopping away from Denning lest he be too closely involved in the Zora's attack.

"Denning, what is going on here?" he asked, knowing well that something strange was about. It was always that way with Denning. The nomad recalled intercepting a meeting between Denning and an unknown Deku not long ago, and doubted that these two events were not linked. Wonder how that turned out, anyway. Blank had no intention to draw his sword just yet; he didn't have any information pertaining to the gathering, and felt no reason to jump in uninvited.

kasei appears, to see alpha, GRENEDA, denning, and blank, and one angry zora... well, what happened here?

The Zora stops when he sees all the folk surounding. He starts to wimper, and is muttering something about THEM and HIM again.

Denning turns to the group.

"I was told, that if I want the questions I have to be answered, I must slay Taric. I belive that THEY are the group who has asked me to do this, they are the ones with answers. As far as HE, I do not know who HE is. But is his sacrifice worth my answers? Tell me Taric, what is the name and what did HE look like?"

Taric wimpering, fear in his eyes, talks.

"HE, I dont know his name. HE, did not show him self for me. No, he was not there, only the ranger, with the bow and the swords. HE spoke to me through a dagger, a crystal dagger, with a black cloud. I dont kow the rangers name, please! Dont hurt me! I, I answer your questions!"

Denning makes a fist.

"Deoxolips. You work for Deoxolips. Know this Taric, you have given infromation to one I hate. That is a mighty crime, in my book. Taric, brace yourself."

Denning takes his staff, and starts to charge at Taric. Will you act before Denning attacks?

"Denning, STOP!!!"

Grenada yells as he moves his sword from the Zora to stop Denning from charging.

"Just wait, lets see what more he can tell us."

Turning to face the Zora, he opens his mouth and spews some questions.

"Answer my questions or I will turn Denning loose on you. I may even help him... Now, this Deoxylips, where did you see... well not really see, but where were you when you talked to him? What did Deoxylips speak to you about? Would it be possible for you to lead us to his location, hideout, or anything like that? I would advise that you reveal anything that might be useful, because if we're not satisfied..."

Grenada takes his sword and runs the dull end across his throat before pointing it toward the Zora.

"Fine, Grenada, ill wait. Taric, talk."

The wimpering Zora starts to talk.

"HE found me in the woods, he had me go to THEM, and join THEM, I stole infromation, and gave it to HIM, he promised a reward! And dont call me Taric, thats just the name I told them, My name is Ciric. The ranger told me to find him in the desert, the one to the east. Thats all I know! Honest! Please! Dont kill me!"

Denning smiles and walks next to the Zora.

"I wont kill you, Ciric, I wont kill you, if, you do somting for me. Give me that neclace."

The Zora clutchs his neclace.

"This? Sure, I stole it from some Deku who worked for them. Can, can I go now?"
