OOC:

1. Everyone knows to go to Rauru Town right? Only HNS and I have posted there so far.
2. Dogura also has the light of his father's soul resting in his heart to combat the evil which rests in his soul, which is the only thing that keeps him sane...

OOC: Oh, give them a break, Dogura. They'll be along in due time.

And it's good to know that you're still sane. Though I am a bit worried about the fact that you're making a special note of this fact here . . .

IC:
After all the other members of the Twilight Guardians guild have left, all traveling in their own special ways to reach Rauru Town, Alpha sighs and bends down next to where the unconscious Hylian Knights lie. "You poor, pathetic fools . . ." he says softly, no remorse for the damage he has inflicted present in his voice. "We will do you no harm if you stay away from us. Why do you idiotic Orders insist on picking a fight with anyone who is smart and questions the king? He has already sought to harm innocents, and for that he does not deserve our loyalty."

"Hail, Knights!" The Sheikah's ears prick as a voice from outside the Tavern reaches them. 'Din's Fire!' he thinks, wondering whether he should run . . . or if he should use whatever has happened to his advantage. A grin comes over his face as he chooses the latter, quickly removing his cape and tossing it to the floor, then grabbing one of his foe's blades.

"Hail!" he calls back, rushing outside with the sword in hand. Outside is just a young boy, ten years old at most. "Yes son, what is it?"

"A message from King Harkinian II, to all Knights of Hyrule," the kid replies proudly, probably because he believes this delivery to be some great honor. The boy hands over a letter, and Alpha quickly takes it from him.

"Son, we need some help here. The traitors did a great deal of damage to our forces; I need you to go and get us medical help, immediately." The child swiftly salutes, and Alpha smartly returns it, wondering for a split second when he learned how to act so militaristic, and then the boy is off to fetch help for the men Alpha has knocked out thus far. Opening the letter, he quickly skims it over, then takes a second, closer look at it as its message hits him. '. . . I am pleased to announce that the Exiles have restrained from their hostile desires; we have received word that their armies are dispersing even now. The threat is gone, for now . . .'

'So the Exiles have given up for now, have they? Good,' Alpha thinks with a weary grin. The lives of the people of Hyrule will be spared another war for little while longer. Placing the note on the chest of the man who seemed to be in charge of the group, he retrieves his cape, swiftly disappearing into the Void.

As Alpha had promised them, thirty minutes later the majority of Hylian Knights have awakened, not dead but merely in pain. The medical team has already arrived, nursing any cuts and bruises from the battle, notably surprised that there have been no fatalities from such a dangerous group of 'traitors'.

"So, one of the traitors got you to get the doctors?" the leader of the Knights asks. The young boy nods, more than a bit scared that he was manipulated by the Sheikah. "Well, no matter; you did very good, son." The leader turns away from the suddenly relieved and elated child, shaking his head. 'He must've thought that by getting us help they might be able to deceive us into thinking them harmless or friendly; they will not escape us so easily.'

Besides, according to the note he'd found on his chest when he'd awakened, the Exiles were no longer a threat. Which, as far as Brigadier Jackal was concerned, only meant they could use more resources to capture these dangerous traitors.
