Outside the small building stands two Guards, Zoras, clad in black vests and black shorts. Each carries a short, pike like weapon with a blade that is shaped like an 'S' stretched out vertically. Displayed on their necks are necklaces bearing a dark gem, or a crystal.

As you approach, they do not make any hostile moves, nor do they appear to think of you as a threat. If you should walk up to the entrance, they only ask your name.

Julian, in no mood to speak of his past, is glad that the two only seek his name. Malice is tainted on his face as he feigns a grin.

"My name...is Julian."

And with those final words the zora steps ahead as he attempts to enter the small building, his eyes only glancing towards the dark gems dangling from their necks for a few seconds before he enters.

'Wyndisis.'

Spotting Julian conversing with the Zora, Alpha walks up to the entrance as well. When asked for his name, he replies simply, "I am called Alpha." He glances at their swords and jewels, impressed by each of them, but is distracted as he is forced to cover up his face, along with the soft blue light beginning to creep out of his scar.

One of the Zoras gestures to with his weapon to move away. "Our Lord does not wish to speak with you. He is interested in meeting with a Goron by the name of," he pauses as if he is fishing around in his head for the name that he forgot. "Shiva. He wants to speak with Shiva."

Julian steps a few feet away as the zora shuns him with their blades. He glances back at the sheikah behind him and winks, an obvious sign that he is formulating a plan. The zora redirects himself with the guards, a grin plastered upon his face.

" Your master is our leader as well." Julian says as he motions to the sheikah behind him. " We have come in regards of Shiva. As you might guess, our information is ment only for our master and we have been told to meet him as soon as possible. Now if you don't mind, we have some businness to attend to or would you like to give Wyndisis the news that you two shunned away some of Shiva's associates?"

'Who is this Shiva?'

Denning walks forward, his black robes flowing, his hair is longer than usual, and eyes are now a red.

As he walks forward, he faintly hears Julian say Shiva, though he does not hear any thing else.

Heis at the enterence.

"My name is Denning."

The Zoras do not flinch at what Julian says. "That contradicts what we have been told. Wyndisis told us specifically, no one comes in regards to Shiva other than Shiva himself. You, we cannot trust, so there is no chance you will get past us. Either bring us Shiva, or don't waste our time."

The Zoras see the fellow with the red eyes. They stand tall and give him a slight bow offering him passage.

"Hmm. No chance, eh. How about a little wager. Me and my companion Alpha against you and your dim witted friend. Who ever falls to the ground first loses. Let's start the match with me and you or are you to afraid? No worries if you don't want to. Wyndisis probably put you here to look tough not really fight. You're probably as weak as any person roaming these sands. Come to think about it, I actually pity you."

Alpha laughs inwardly at Julian's suggestion, but keeps his face serious and masked. 'He adores fighting so much, it's funny. Oh well. If they agree to fight us for entry, then so be it. Either way, I need to learn more about Wyndisis...and perhaps about Shiva as well...'

OOC: Oh, I see how it is. I sit down for two hours, and only two hours, to read my favorite web comic and I get left out. No one bothers to tell me. No one bothers to call me (*Cough*Julian*Cough*), no PMs, no "Hey Victor! Come join us for a super fun time!" No. I'm dropped like a hot potato in the middle of the Summer covered in magma. Nice guys...real nice.

IC: "Forgetting about me again, are you?"

Victor has appeared behind Julian once more. He sees Denning dissapear into the building just before Julian makes his proposition. Hearing this wager, Victor is eager to join at first. But then he spies the two guards. "Three against two?" he thought, "That would hardly justify Julian's gloating." Turning back to Alpha and Julian, he says:

"Never mind. I'm sure you guys can handle this. But first..."

Victor walks off towards the guards. In an attempt to gain entrance like Denning, Victor speaks his name:

"I am Victor..."

OOC: Ha ha! Take that, you non....teller....people! I've thwarted your attempts to disclude me from this topic! Ha ha, I say again to you! Ha ha!

The Zora who Julian spoke to glares down at the ground. He puts a hand around the black crystal and pulls his eyes shut. The anger in him is so strong, he may even be burning. His grip tightens, and there is a point where he looks like he will lash out and slice off Julian's head, but all he does is relax. He is in an eerie calm. From his mouth comes a familiar voice, that of a Zora, but an octave lower. "Fool, you fool, Julian. Can't you see see, that if you kill us, or make make an attempt to hurt us, Wyndisis, our immortal leader, restorer and future ruler of Nardora, the Shadowland, will kill you kill you. It takes the satisfaction out of doing anything. So you turn, away you turn, away now. Now you will turn away."

He opens his eyes and lifts his head. They turn down into slits as he glares at Julian, and then to Alpha. The other Zora seems to mirror him, even though he doesn't see the change in his face. They hold out their weapons in a ready position.

Seeing weapons pointed and eyes slitted, Victor knows the guards aren't in a talkative mood. He backs away and off to the side, not wanting to be part of this battle anymore...

OOC: Woah, something's screwy here. Marin's post moved. It is saying he posted it tomorrow.

OOC: Yeah, that's really weird. Oh well; it doesn't really say much except that Denning's staying out of the conversation, so it probably doesn't matter where it's moved to.

IC:
Alpha watches in silence as the Zoras become eeriely calm in their words and body language. He listens intently to anything and everything they say. 'Wyndisis, our immortal leader...restorer and future ruler of Nardora, the Shadowland... Huh, I wonder what all that stuff means. Well, perhaps there is one way I can figure it out...'
For the first time since his name was declared, Alpha speaks up. "Quite true; there would be no point in us fighting. You spoke earlier of a Goron named Shiva. If you could tell me of where he might be, I could search for him and tell him that Wyndisis wishes to speak with him here."

OOC: True, but it's the principle of the thing. I hope that glitch doesn't become widespread.

IC: They hold themselves back, anger and all. Both stand in a more relaxed, and thankfully, less menacing pose. They listen to what Alpha has to say. Seeing no harm in his suggested favor, they nod. "That would be appreciated," one says, back in his normal voice. It is Alpha they like the most, as he wasn't the one threatening them. Altogether, they have nothing against him. They could only wish he were on their side.
