As they fell through the Twilight, Sovelis's insides did a flip-flop as his own powers, the powers of Sovel, and the darkness of the Twilight Realm all clashed. His grip on Arrika's hand increased to the point that her bones would break if he didn't let up the pressure. No...can't...let her go...the...GAAHHH!!!! THE PAIN!! Make it..st-stop! he cried out in his mind. As they fell, he hoped that the Twili hadn't sent them on a one-way trip to hell, to drift in the Twilight for eternity. Here, the Tempest couldn't Shift like normal, especially since he had four people holding onto him. He prayed that they'd land somewhere solid, and that the excruciating pain would stop.

"Ugh- Sovelis- you're crushing me!" Arrika screamed at him, collided into Seth. At one point she almost let go of the other thief, but clung to his fingers at the last second.

"Seth! What- mmmph-" Rhyss was cut off as he smashed through a huge black particle, which shattered into smaller squares and floated upwards. "-where's the ground?!"

"How do I know?!" Seth screamed back, clutching to Arrika's whole arm just in case. Mirielle winced as Sovelis' metal hand clenched as well, feeling the crushing sensation 3 times as much as Arrika.

"Rhyss! Your Twili! Wake it up again! Right now, you idiot, before something worse happens?"

"It could get worse?! How could it could anything get any worse right now?!" Rhyss said, holding back the need to throw up. "Fine, but I don't know what the hell I'm-" As he pulled out the amulet, using his own energy to call upon Darius the Twili, a floor appeared under the whole group, causing them to crash down painfully.

"Rhyss- you idiot-" Mirielle said, letting go of Sovelis' death grip. "You thought of a stone floor? Couldn't you come up with something better?" She forced herself up, feeling for any broken bones, but miraculously seemed perfectly fine. Arrika had landed on top of Seth, who just groaned and lay still, his head pulsing.

"I'm dead. I'm dead, I swear I am..." He mumbled. "Get off me..."

Sovelis lay face down on the stone floor that Rhyss had called up. He didn't move. He didn't say anything. It didn't even look like he was breathing, but that was because of his large cloak covering his still form. The force of the landing, alongside the side-effects of the Twilight Realm, his powers, and the demon inside him all had a devastating action upon him. His face lay, turned to one side, his eyes rolled back in his head as he lay there, unconscious or worse...dead....

"It's not stone... I think it's made up of that same black stuff that's floating around everywhere," Rhyss said, wincing and rubbing his back. By looking around you can tell you're really in the Twilight Realm. You don't see any Twili except for a few scattered here and there, some walking with delicate steps and others floating inches above the ground. If you look any farther you'll realize that you're on a sort of floating sidewalk, and if you dare gaze over the edge you'll see nothing.

"Sovelis?" Arrika said, a panicked loook on her face. She turned him over quickly, pressing her ear to his chest for a heartbeat. "Sovelis!"

"Is he dead?" Mirielle asked, for once true concern on her face. Maybe Arrika'll cry? Haven't seen that since Ronin.

"He's not dead. I think," Seth said, still unwilling to move.

"As of now, I'm not going to believe anything you say," Rhyss said, reasoning that if Seth couldn't See anything concerning the Tempest or the Twilight Realm he was useless.

A small, quiet cough escaped from Sovelis's mouth as his eyes rolled back, and he gasped for air. He still lay there on the ground, pain shooting throughout his body as he tried to reach out, to grab someone or something. "Arrika? I...can't see v-very well...my h-head is killing me... he murmured as his hand found Arrika's arm. ''Did we make it? Is everyone else alright?'' he asked as he struggled to breath, as if one or more of his ribs had been cracked, or broken from the fall.

"Yeah... actually, I think it was more of a mental shock. Everyone's perfectly fine," Arrika replied, surprising herself with how true that was. "Can you get up?"

Fairies are normally a bright, cheerful color with sparkles trailing behind them, but in the Twilight it's the complete opposite. A small black fairie emanating a dark aura with more of those black particles following wherever it went flitted capriciously above the group. It moved to the ground where it was enveloped in a dark coccoon, then grew quickly to a more human size. A dark haired pixie girl emerged, just an inch shorter than Seth. Her wings resembled charred, jagged leaves, and her eyes were pure black, even where the white should have been.

"Mortals?" She said, her voice an unnaturally high pitch. "How did you get here?"

"Not sure...it hurts s-so much." he said, looking up at the Twili Fairy. "Could...you help me? I can't..stay here in your...world..." Sovelis said to the Twili Fairy, as he tried to get to his feet, leaning on Arrika the entire time. He gasped as he breathed in. Yea...their cracked...and the seal is burning! GAH! This Twilight is like ice and the demon is fire! I...won't be able to stay here long without some help... He thought, looking at Mirielle and scowling at her, like he knew what she was thinking...Which he did.

OoC: The whole 'hnnn' and 'eeee' are meant to sound with a Japanese accent. If you get what I mean.

IC:The pixie giggled, her voice going even higher. "You're hurt! Hnnn?" The Twili obviously didn't have a very long attention span as she darted towards Arrika, looking at her intently. "Eeee! A Sheikah!" She spun around, black specks floating in the air. "Welcome home! I always considered your race part Twili! I don't think we've eeever had a Sheikah here before!"

Mirielle looked at the pixie with distaste. "One of us is hurt, and all you're going to do is spin around and laugh?"

Seth laughed inwardly and said to Rhyss, Hey, remember that one time Arrika broke her arm and-

Mirielle did the exact same thing she's getting annoyed at? Yep. Rhyss responded, a grim smile on his face.

"Well, fine! Maybe I won't help!" The pixie said angrily, tossing back her short hair and floating away.

"No, she was just kidding! Please help him-" Seth said, finding the energy to sit up. The pixie looked back, a smug smile on the corner of her mouth.

"What will I get in return?"

Seth looked around at the rest of the group; Arrika seemed most likely to have something shiny and attractive to the Twili. Arrika caught on and rummaged through her pocket, coming up with an antique looking black hairpin that had an odd metallic shine. Damn, she'd been saving that for Sakiko, but this was more important.

Seth snatched the pin from her and held it to the pixie. "I think it would look great in your hair," he said. The pixie obviously enjoyed gifts as well as praises, and she started to laugh and clap her hands.

"I like you. Alright, what to do for your friend here..." The pixie sat cross-legged in midair, one thin finger tapping ther chin. "Oh! I have just the thing!" She made a motion in the air as if measuring the length of an invisible thread, and out of nowhere a thin black ribbon appeared. She plucked Darius' necklace from a protesting Rhyss, silencing with a wicked smile. After threading the ribbon through, it fused with the chain, making it glow with a light similar to hers. "There's a spell repressing that poor Twili inside, and all the ribbon does is enlarge it; sorta like a personal bubble, so whoever's wearing it will have the same effect."

She put it around Sovelis' neck, his breathing becoming easier. "I suppose your ribs will heal too; everything goes faster here."

Sovelis looked at the Twili Fairy. "Thank you. What is your name, so I will know who saved me from dieing in your strange world?" he asked, bowing slightly to the resident of darkness, showing his appreciation for what she had done for him. "I feel much better. My own inner-demon is no longer bothering me, nor is your Twilight reacting with my powers." he said as he straitened and looked at Arrika, and smiled.

"My name?" She said in her high pitched voice, fluttering around, the pin in her hair glinting. "Since the nice little green Hylian boy is with you, I guess I'll tell you. Tara Yazuno Hiralin Michottaxin... oh, the family tree's too long to fit it all in. Ralin will do, I suppose," she said with a dramatic sigh. "Oh yea, with that amulet on, it's restraining the rest of your powers too. Might be why you can't feel anything," she added with a fiendish giggle, looping away just in case Sovelis got angry.

Seth grew bored staring at the pixie; her beetle black eyes were mezmerizing him, clouding his thoughts. Looking to the side he noticed a Twili woman with blazing red hair. His breath caught in his throat; it was the one who had prevented him from chasing his sister. She carried a large spear now and wore heavy armor, unusual for the loose, silky clothes of the Twili. Ignoring everyone else he started to run towards her. Rhyss noticed and tried to snatch him back, but Seth easily sped up. Mirielle just looked on with an annoyed expression on her face.

"Ralin...Well. As much as I hate to have to trust the magic I learned in Hyrule, I guess I'll have to. Thank you for saving me." Sovelis said, digging in his satchel for a few seconds. He pulled out a canteen and took a sip from it. He looked to talk to Seth, and saw him running at a strikingly fierce looking Twili. "Seth! Wait!" he shouted, dropping his canteen and running after the young thief. "What do you think your doing! Arrika! Rhyss! Mirielle! Stop him!"

"No!" Ralin shrieked, holding out her hands, a black barrier cloaking them all and freezing them midstep. She floated down to Sovelis, hissing in his ear, "Don't. Do you understand? You were lucky I found you first. Get it? You were extremely lucky. If someone else had gotten to you, a few of you would be soulless shells, the other eaten alive, and the other-" She looked to Arrika- "Worse. Not everyone likes Sheikahs as much as I."

"Hey! You! That's right, I know you remember me!" Seth screamed angrily. "What did you do with her?!" The red haired Twili took a few moments to recognize Seth, but when she did she grew angry. "You fool. I have no choice now. You should have stayed in the Goddesses' land when you had the chance." She extended her hand, then made a crushing movement with her fingers. Seth collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, his lungs being crushed slowly. The Twili grabbed him by his scarf and dragged him behind her, headed for the Twili dungeons. "What makes you think she wants to go back at all?" She murmured from the corner of her mouth as they passed other Twili similarly dressed, most likely guards.

"Let me go!" Sovelis said, struggling against Ralin's power. "Either let go, or I'll rip of this amulet, and let loose my demon's power upon your realm!" he hissed as he thought to himself. Okay...the threatening the Twili with demonic powers gig is getting old... Sovelis tried to grab at the Twili Fairy with his metal hand. "We have to save him! He's my student, and thus he is my responsibility! If anything happens to him, I'll make sure that your kind pay dearly..." the Tempest threatened, snarling at Ralin. "I'm not from Hyrule, and thats why I'm not afraid of your kind, or their powers!"

The pixie put her hands on her hips and cocked her head to the side, not caring at all. "You're pretty much useless now with your powers gone. I can see that now. But you... hey, grey haired witch, mind telling me what you can do, so I can figure out how to surpress your abilities as well?" Ralin grinned madly and giggled again.

Mirielle let of a string of curses, and for some reason found the power to force her hand up, blue light glowing at her fingertips. "I will blast you to pieces! Release me Sovelis now, or you'll pay!"

Rhyss sighed as he realized that Mirielle was purposely excluding him.

"Oh, you can move? That's weird... I don't like you, you know that? There's just this thing about you..." Ralin closed her eyes, thinking. "Would you rather I pushed you off and down there into the eternal shadows, offered you up as bait to the Arenas, or froze you permanently into a stature for my little house?" Mirielle just snarled, straining to break loose. "Arenas it is then!" The pixie said gleefully, and with a gleam of her black eyes Mirielle turned into a grey statue, her lips still parted in another curse. "You're kinda heavy though... who wants to carry her to the Arena for me? Hey, red-head, you can do it." With a flick of wrist Rhyss found he wasn't in control of himself anymore, and lifted up Mirielle's lifeless form with one arm.

The dark skinned pixie turned away, Rhyss forced to follow her and lug the witch along, his teeth gritted in pain. "I'll come back for the rest of you later!" Ralin called cheerily.[/i]

"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU, YOU LITTLE IMP!!!" Sovelis shouted at the Fariy drifted away, leaving Arrika and Sovelis trapped. "Uhg...this is what I get for butting into someone else's family problems...I get trapped in another world, powerless, and unable to move. "Arrika. Can you try something? I...*Grrr!*...Can't move any!" the useless Tempest said to the Sheikah girl behind him
