The man awoke, feeling a strange, yet intense, burning in his eyes, nose and mouth. Especially his eyes. He scrambled up, wiping his face violenty, but as he stepped forward he stumbled. straining to open his eyes, he noticed sand, as far as the eye could see. Behind him, a casket lay scuttled on a beach, the salty blue waters of the sea a wide expanse into lands he had once known. The terrain of this land were vaguely familiar, and as he pondered just where he was, a sharp rasping voice cut into his thoughts.

TANTARI!

Hammering his head into the ground fiercely, he crawled to the casket, wondering, had he been inside it at some point?

It was at this point he remembered. There was no desert in Calatia. He was not in the land he had been born in.

Blank: What.... the hell.... where is this?

TANTARI!

The voice echoed in the corridors of his mind.

Forcing himself up and regaining composition, he staggered across the sandy wilderness, still oblivious that he had returned to his true country of origin, Hyrule. but for what reason?

Seeing the man, Denning rushes tword him, the desert air makes it so that he can barley breath when he reaches his destenation.
Breathing heavly as he speaks he utters the words
"Hello there. I am Denning, a cleric, are you hurt? Do you need help?"

Denning leans on his staff and gatheres his breath.

Dogura saw the man by the casket, and another man with a staff. they were in his path. it is not wise to change direction in a desert. he had no choise. "You! State your names!"

Not a moment before Blank is introducing himself to the cleric, he hears a rather abrupt statement. Turning from Denning to face the newcomer, he is somewhat relieved to not be the only one stuck in the desert. Ignoring the distant Hylian, he turns and speaks to the cleric.

Thank you for the offer of help, Denning, but I am alright, for now. My.... ship..... was scuttled here nought but a few hours ago, and I have decided the best course of action would be to find some kind of civilization. My name is Blank Fireside, but Blank will suffice. If you wish, we can travel to the capital of this land together.

The other man, Dogura, had reached them. He had heard their conversation and now knew their names, but not intentions. Blank introduces himself to Dogura and restates what he told Denning.

I see that you are travelling the direction that we are heading away from. It would have been.... interesting if you could have joined us on our way to the capital. Will you join us? I would dearly appreciate any help fom you natives of this land. Where am I, exactly?

(OOC: Remember, Blank doesn't know that he is Hylian, or that he landed in Hyrule.)
