(Dogura is currently home)
***********************************************************************************************

A man walks to the door, and knocks on it. He is clad in blue and silver armor, that covers his entire body.

Sovelis also aproches Dogura's home. "Hello there, Who are you?" he asked the Blue armor-clad man.

OOC: Hey guys, Im kind of expecting someone. A private mission if you will. So would you mind if I asked you to come back another time?

Yoko comes through the dark forest, walking towards a nice looking house deep inside the heart of the forest. Why is there a house this deep inside the forest? Yoko thought as he stops in front of the door. He slowly brings up a glove covered hand and knocks on the door.

Shuffling was heard on the other side of the door.The door opened, and on the other side stood a man
in a black satin robe. He stood about 5'11 and had piercing cat-like eyes. His hair was pulled back in a battle-ready ponytail. He eyed the man at his door step. "Good morning stranger. I'm surprised you found my little home deep in the woods like this. What can I say, its very serene, and it calms me." Suddenly, another figure appears at the door. "Hey Dogura, who's this?" This man was unmistakably a Rito. His feathers shined, and he was wearing a normal Rito garb. Dogura stepped out onto the lawn, and breathed the fresh air. The Rito smiled. "My name is Darkin. And you must certainly know Dogura in some way to know his house was back here in this tiny clearing." Dogura eyed the man, not completely trusting him yet. "Whats your name sir?" Dogura quizzed, sitting on a log.

OOC: I have to go. I'll reply when my sister gets done with her home work.

Yoko remain standing at the same spot and pulled down his hood, revealing a mask of a dark, blue wolf with two holes in which the eyes of the man peeked out. "My name is Yoko Ikimaro, and I have come to seek a companion that could help me understand more about this land......." Yoko said quietly through the mask. "I came to this land in search of a creature that I have to find, and I overheard someone saying that there might be a person in this forest that has been in this land for a long time."

OOC: Hey! Its the Amidamaru from Shaman King!!! Haha, well, I have to go too. I will reply tomorrow I guess....

OOC: Yeah, well, its the closest picture to Dogura that I could find on the net. I had never really watched Shaman King until I found this picture!

IC: Dogura's, Hylian ears perked at the man's inquiry. Darkin stepped out onto the lawn, and studied that man. "I dont know Dogura... I dont trust him." The samurai stared at the clouds. "I'll tell you what Yoko Ikimaro. If you help me with a little favor, then I'll explain to you anything you need to know." Darkin stared at Dogura wide eyed. "Dogura, are you serious? You hardly ever trust someone this easily, much less somebody behind a mask!" Dogura's eyes pierced Darkin's. After a moment of silence, Darkin nodded. "Alright, I understand. I'll wait here at the house." Dogura then glanced at Yoko. "So... are you in?" The Vagabond awaited the masked stranger's answer in anticipation.

"I would be honored to help you with the favor." Yoko answered with much respect. "But first I have to tell you why I have this mask since your companion is worried about it." Yoko looks at Darkin and for a second there was a flash of pained look in his eyes but it vanishes to his normal emotionless look. "I came from a clan of shape shifters and each wears a mask of the creature they can turn into. We never take our masks down for it is tradition that we only take our masks off to people very close to us. This is why I will not take my mask off unless I am with someone that I can trust my life with. I am sorry." Yoko walked closer to Dogura and Darkin. When he is in front of them, he put his hood back on and said "Now, shall we start with this ‘favor’ of yours?"

Dogura smiled, remembering his own clan. It seems like so long ago... He thought, remembering times passed. Darkin seemed to but the story, and a smile came to his lips. "I understand. Alright, I'll get the package, wait right here." He dissapeared into the house mumbling something about the weather. The sky was a beautiful blue. The birds were chirping, and the light shined through the trees. Darkin returned as quickly as he had dissapeared, this time holding a small sack. "Here are the sediments. Be careful you two." Dogura nodded. "Yoko, I'll only be a minute. Let Darkin explain the details." Dogura passed through the door, and Darkin looked up into the sky. "Alright, here's the deal. An old friend of Dogura's lives up in those mountains." He pointed to the large landform the jutted up from behind the trees, which were planted just behind Dogura's home. "This man happenes to be a blacksmith, and a good one. Somebody stole the sediments he ordered, and now he cannot make weaponry. The postman had a letter for Dogura asking him if he would would gather the sediments needed."

It was about this time that Dogura returned in his father's red and black armor, which he was always equipped with before he left. A long sword hung from his belt encased an an iron lined leather sheath. Darkin continued with the explaination. "Now Dogura was going to head up the mountain and deliver the sediments. He'll tell you everything you want to know if you accompany him on this task." Dogura looked through the sack making sure everything was there. Darkin then leaned over and whispered in Yoko's ear. "And between you and me... Dogura is the smartest man I've ever known." PLacing the pack on a hip flask, Dogura got a twisted look on his face. "Darkin, you've known me for a very long time. Do you honestly think that if you whisper, I cant hear you?" Darkin chuckled, and went inside, closing the door. "Follow me. It will be a long journey. We'll most likely stay in Ruto Town for the night." Dogura started for the trees, marveling at the beautiful weather. "Do you see why one would want to live so far away from civilization?" The samurai chuckled, pushing through the trees.

“I would love to build a house in the wildness one day” Following Dogura through the forest floor. “Once I know this land better, I am still foreign to this land.” Yoko tries to keep up with Dogura, but is having difficulties following Dogura’s steps. I am never good at traveling through the forest in human form. Yoko thought. As they walked further, Yoko finally decides to change to his animal form. He stops walking as light filled his body from head to toe. His black robe is replaced with dark blue fur with red markings all over his body. His legs and arms changed into strong, firm legs of a proud wolf. His head morph into his mask as his mask becomes his face. A proud wolf with bark blue fur appears in place of where Yoko was. Its eyes are blood red and it seems they can pierce through anything with one stare. There is a huge scar going from the bottom of his left ear all the way down to the bottom of his right cheek, almost touching his left eye. “Sorry for the waiting, let’s go now.” Yoko growled.

OOC: Now, people may come, this is a new topic, a new time, and a new day.

************************************************************************************

Dogura stood out on his front porch. Its getting late... Alex should have been home by now. He thought, looking up at the stars. They sparkled, and shined. Then a cloud moved over them, and shrouded them in darkness. Dogura believed in omens, but didn't see this as a sure sign. Staring off into the trees, The samurai stepped out onto the lawn, and examined the training post that Alex practiced with. Dogura examined the marks in the post, and frowned. "Damn kid's been slacking off..." Standing up, the vagabond stared off into space, thinking all the worst thoughts.

At that very moment, Darkin appeared over the trees. He landed on the roof, and smiled. "Both of them agreed! They'll be here soon. I got a new deck from the Goron District up in the mountains!" Dogura twitched. "You mean... Those really expensive decks that the pros play with?" Darkin tossed the small box down to Dogura. "The very ones!" Dogura placed the cards on the training post, and once again looked off into the abyss of the trees. "Something bothering you?" Darkin asked, jumping off the roof. Dogura sighed. "No, its nothing..."

An owl landed in front of Dogura. It let out a hoot. And then it began to grow. Just as it almost got as big as the samurai, the bird of prey began to assume the shape of a familiar woman: Rose Hillmound. "Looking for a game of cards, eh?" she asked. "Well, it's been a while since I last played, so go easy on me." She smirked, not expecting either Dogura or Darkin to take her request to heart.

When the owl landed in front of the samurai, his surprise was noticable. Darkin seemed surprised too. "Owls don't normally trust people enough to get this close!" Darkin exclaimed, inching closer. Then, the owl began to grow, it grew so large that Darkin flew inside the house, and slammed the door behind him. Dogura turned back in time to see it morphing into Rose. "Ahh! Hello there Rose! You seem to have frightened my feathered friend." Dogura chuckled, and leaned on the scuffed up training post. "I'm surprised how quickly you got here! You must have been close behind Darkin." Dogura looked up, and seemed to remember something he had forgotten. "Rose. Did you happen to see anybody on the way here? A teen, possibly with a training sword in hand?"

Rose let out a grin at Darkin's reaction. "Yeah, I was tailing him," the human replied. And then the samurai asked about a teenager and if she had seen him. Rose frowned, trying to remember. Whenever she transformed into something that could fly, the thrill of being in the air usually drove everything out of mind. Finally, she responded to the samurai's question with, "I think so. Looking down at the ground is the last thing on my mind when I'm flying, so I could be wrong. He was heading north, and I think he was around the lake surrounding North Castle. Why do you ask?"
