The weather seemed to be beating hot, even under the shade of the mountains around the city of Ruto. As if the area became volcanic overnight.
Or maybe it's just my mood
It was these kinds of days when the last thing you wanted to do was talk to the son of Greyblade. He often was a nice to speak to, with a charming smile and an easy-going temper and tolerance. Often, if one swore at him, or simply hated him, he would smile, and think little of it. If they preferred corruption over salvation, that was their choice, and their fate.
But those were mere acts against him. This was not like that at all. Spitting in the face of
Hyrule would not be tolerated. This man's very seat of power made him sick to begin with, long ago when he returned to Hyrule. They should re-elect a new mayor. Fast.
He didn't care to be the gentlemen he was. As he approached small manor, it became very clear that it gave every impression that the mayor didn't want to be seeing any more adventurers.
Well what can the drunken fool expect? He reached the door, and instead of knock on it, or even simply open it, he raised his leg up, and bashed open the door. He didn't care to observe reactions. He knew that no one would care to stop him. He got to the counter, where countless bottles of liquor lay open and spilled, and he didn't doubt that there was vomit on the other side of the counter. The tingling fury was at its climax when he reached the counter. "
YOU FATHERLESS SWINE!" He yelled through his teeth, which at the heat of the moment looked more like fangs. His words were as cold as a blizzard out to be, giving the onlookers a brumal shudder. The cold effect burned in him, and many went pale. They were glad that he was not looking at him with the cold eyes that could scar his enemies. His insulting entrance hung in the air.
When the snow of his words settled down, he continued. "For years, we have been forbidden to go south and face the threat. Only of late did you even come out from your fix of alcohol to answer the king's demands. Listen to me, and listen well, despite your wretched senses: People die every day in the south, and they need our help. I was ordered to protect what is already protected for three years! Ever since I returned your bedeviled trophy that the Goryias are so desperate to take back, I knew one thing about you; you do not deserve that seat. Not even a scout can enter South Hyrule! NOT ONE! The cities of Saria and Mido are in the hands of the Exiles without our help. That is over ten thousand people that are dead, slaves, or worse, and you can do so much as
CARE!!" With this he whipped a lethal hand, shaped perfectly like a sword, and cut through all the beer bottles still standing. The clattering of broken glass made it sound like a war was going on in the room. "You HAD the power to do something! Your no better than the Exiles if your next drink is all you live by!" He spat a burning gob of spit at the mayor's face. "How did you get elected? You sleep with someone to make them change their mind? You get the people who counted the votes drunk like yourself? Were you the only candidate? They need a leader, you twit, a LEADER! The last thing they need is you. Know this, when I am done with Queen Gohma, I'm coming for you. It wouldn't surprise me if you tried to poison me then."
His glare shot from the drunk dimwit, slobbering from his hangover, to the cleric. At first his glare was the burning cold he had demonstrated, but he let it relax to a burning anguish. "I have a Deku Spore." He pulled out his bag and passed it to the cleric. "Worry not, friend, my war is not against you." As the cleric disappeared in a back room to fix up the potion from the spores, he looked down at an unopened bottle of Goron Stout beside the drunkard, and took it for himself. It had been a while since he'd had a drink (it wasn't good for him, and he knew that the potion would wear off his dizziness, making him ready to fight in the Passage in a few days' time). He took a good sip, and coughed from the lack of flavour. It wasn't like Hylian ale. He could imagine a Goron loving the stuff, but he was Hylian. He could understand a fool like this sorry excuse for a mayor loving it, just as long as it made him dizzy, able to forget his worries. He set the bottle aside, and smiled kindly at the cleric when he returned. His tempered had calmed enough for his manners to be present to at least the cleric. "Thank you, friend. You're doing Hyrule a good thing, making these for us."
He drank the potion in one gulp, and returned the vial to the Hylian. He bowed his thanks, and turned to leave. His hand was on the door that a guard had closed for him earlier, and said without turning back, "May you burn, you old coward. You will fall hard from your high seat, whether I return alive or not." With that he opened the door, more gently than he had earlier, and closed the door, with a medium tempered 'SLAP!'
