"Well then, let's get moving," stated Orpheous to the general group, both his group and the rest. Silna gave him a wink, to show that she was messing with Ryk. She promptly stood by her dear companions side. Clinging to him as they began walking Simon and the others followed near behind. Others might recognize them now as Bou, Valentine, and Snowflake. The small group followed the twins across the land bridge, looking out into the water.

"What sort of magic is this?" asked Bou to the twins for an answer.

Jeremy laughed, "Not quite magic. This has always been here, just concealed by that mist. Not actually sure why it's concealed by mist, all the people of Rahnawyn know is that they can't get most of it to go away. Only the mist by the entrance, allowing them entrance into the country itself."

Myora continued, "Trust me, the people of our kingdom have tried. They would like a bit more publicity, but sadly most of the Rahnawyns don't leave the country, so no one but they themselves really know of it."

Jeremy was mad at her for not letting him continue the explanation, so he figured he could just take it up from here. "All we can figure is that a long time ago there must have been some conflict with a certain people in Hyrule, or maybe the monsters of the Tantari desert were getting really wild, and our old leaders decided to conceal it. It's done with very old magic that our people lost the ability to perform centuries ago, so we don't even have a lead on a way to reverse it."

"Wow, now that makes sense. I totally know what's going on here," Cathy said sarcastilly(don't yell at me for misspellings!*points at Nitara*) with a smirk wide on her face. "Not, all I know is that you guys are looking for Nitara in some place that is hidden. Um, I think, but I don't really care at all."

Kayla rolled her eyes and wacked Cathy on the head, once again, with her black book. Cathy cringed and glared at Kayla. She just smiled innocently at Cathy, but her green eyes danced with mischief.

"I see," muttered Bou understandingly. He understood old magic greatly. Old magic tended to be very powerful, and anything done in old magic was typically done in stone. He even had the power to use old magic, but only when he was tapping into the magic stream of the Ancient's that flowed within him. He had told Nitara about this once, but the meeting seized to exist, no more than a mere memory to him and the others who were there that could remember it. Most of these facts soared through his head instantly, and it was processed an stored quickly. He had one of those deductive minds, a trait many of his friends, including Orpheous shared. "So what kind of culture does your country have? What kind of ruling system?" he continued, his interest peaked. Orpheous was listening in. He was contributing to Bou's questions via telepathy. Orpheous realized Bou loved to be the question asker, and Bou so far needed almost no telepathic assistance as far as the questions went. Bou's loose cloak blew softly in the wind, and his black hair with silver highlights blew with it.

"Now that I get to look, there's two answers to that. The first; their a bunch of barbaric cannibals. Two: it is not to different from Hyrule." Kasei said, now standing right behind Orpheous. "But Seriously, what exactly are we here for? Who are we searching out? What is this?" The Rebel Flame asked, always one to collect knowledge.

OOC: Forgive him. He's old, and old people are stupid...

"Umm... Yes, their ruling system is almost exactly like Hyrule's..." Myora answered, after thinking about it for a moment.

Jeremy laughed, "Gosh, lotto' questions eh? I'm more of a person that prefers to see for myself instead of listening to others..."

Myora adressed Kayla, "That little black book of yours is some kinda useful eh? Mind if I borrow it sometime to hit me own idiot twin."

Jeremy glared at her back, but of course Myora was turned the other way and couldn't tell. He looked over his shoulder at the long line of people following behind him. "Well Kasei..." He answered quickly, "We're looking for our missing cousin, Nitara, apparently she made some kind of an impact socially with these peeps. Except for you of course, but thanks much for voulenteering to help us find her, we really appreciate it."

Myora nodded, "So, all o' you knew her? Once again excluding you Kasei, of course... Gosh, she got around didn't she!"

"I'm actually wondering about that myself." Kasei said, looking at Orpheous and Worru's freind. "If she came to Hyrule, how comes I didn't see her at all?" He said, saddened by the fact that someone would want to see Orpheous and some wierdo, but wouldn't want to meet Kasei. The Rebel Flame lowered his head, stricken with grief. "I dispise you all......."

"Don't despise us for something we had no choice in doing, Kasei. I was one of the first to meet Nitara. She is the first person I ran into that wasn't from Hyrule like myself." Sovelis said from beneath his dark hood. he looked at the Rebel Flame and smiled in the shadows under his hood. "Besides...we all owe it to Nitara to help her out. she is pur friend and she needs us." the Tempest retorted, letting his anger bubble up and out in his voice loudly.

"Well, all you need is a hard cover book that you can have an excuse to carry around and all you have to do is pull it out and whabam!(OoC: My dad uses that word a lot) It's get anyone to shut up, even Cathy," Kayla said, grinning like a fool. Cathy glared at her back, for she decided to walk behind Kayla and Kyle.

"Nitara gets herself into trouble a lot, doesn't she?" Cathy muttered to herself, but it was a little loud so taht everyone could hear.

"Yep, she just gets into such much trouble I don't think anyone can keep up with her and the things that she gets herself into. You shoulda seen 'er back in the day, before she left Rahnawyn to 'search for a new lifestyle' or whatever. She got into trouble everywhere she went." Jeremy started, "Gosh, stall owners, guards, knights, I believe that the King's personal apprentice had a bit of a crush on her once, what happened with that again Myora?"

Myora laughed, "That was funny. Well, she ended up in huge trouble in the capital city of Rahnawyn, because the King's apprentice had the hots for her and he came by to ask her to marry him. All the girls in the city were fallin' all over him 'cause supposedly they all thought that he was pretty handsome. This is just what I heard from Nitara and her best friend Nariko though, and a couple of people who were there when it happened."

Jeremy started giggling, "Come on, just tell 'em already."

"Well," she continued, "They all thought he was just fine and dandy, and everyone was envious of Nitara, the poor girl who sat on the streets with a dancer and sang songs. Nitara was just completely apalled by the whole idea of him coming to propose when she had only ever seen him once or twice, so he came to the street they were workin' one day and ya know what she did?"

Jeremy burst out laughing, "She punched him! And she punched him hard!!! I guess he got knocked out cold too! So her and Nariko ran from the street and started headin' to another town! Right there and then, laughing there butts off!"

Myora nodded, smiling, "Jeremy saw him too, a couple days after it happened. Said he had a huge bruise right in the middle of his face!"

Jeremy continued laughing like it was the most hilarious thing in the world, "He looked so stupid! The bad thing was that he got really mad and had a few of his bodyguards sent off to catch her n' Nariko." He started laughing again.

Myora finished for him, "By the end of the month news reached the King and his apprentice that they had found them."

Jeremy interrupted her once more, "But they had decided to help them!!!"

"I really think that Nitara and Nariko did something to them, messed with their minds or tortured them or somethin', 'cause those were a tough lot o' people too!" Myora said.

"Gosh we've been babbling!" She declared, "Looks like we're almost to the end. Just a bit farther!"

"Well, ain't that just dandy?" Cathy joked. "I would do that too, if it happened to me." She suddenly slung an arm around Kayla. "Now, this girl here might have that trouble now and then, since she is 'perfect'." Kayla hit her on the head. "Keep that up and you're going to destroy my brain cells."

"Like what I do can destroy you anymore," Kayla mumbled.

"What was that?" Cathy questioned. Kayla shook her head and just shot Cathy a look.

OOC: Sovelis, you do realize that Nitara's existence our previous topics are null and void don't know. She was never there, thus.....nevermind, just listen to Orpheous' advice.

IC: Orpheous spoke up, "We only met shortly. I don't even remember where it was. She probably wouldn't remember me. However, I remembered her. She had an impressionable personality and her physical appearance was greatly unique." He promptly fell back quietly, and whispered into Sovelis' ear, "Look, don't dig yourself into a hole. Nitara probably won't remember us, and when she can't remember you name your going to be seen as either a psycho or a lier. Remember, all of that happened in the alternate timeline."

He continued to listen to the twins meanwhile. "Sounds like a handful," he muttered with a chuckle once he heard what she did to the King's right hand man.

Kasei listened to the story of Nitara assaulting the prince. "Sounds like a free spirited girl. I'll keep that in mind when I meet her." He says, then turns his head to Orpheous. "What are you wispering back there? Are you plotting something?" He asked, suspicious. "Well, if you are, make sure it's fool-proof. And for that you need to make sure Sovelis is out of the plan." The Rebel Flame finished jokinglly.

OoC: The 'alternate' timeline doesn't apply to Sovelis since he's out-of-sink with time, and some other obscure bending/breaking of the laws of physics.

IC:

Sovelis looked up and at Orpheous from the darkness he was in under that black hood. "I know that...but it seems that I'm not the only one who knows about what happened, InkWeaver. One of these days, I'd like to sit down and have a long and in-depth talk with you...but to me, Nitara is still my friend. I'll help here even if she doesn't remember me." the Tempest whispered back, backing away from the man an hoping that he didn't notice that half of his face was covered with black skin, or the fact that his irises were completely golden and glowing slightly...

"I'm actually pretty sure she'll remember ya'all." Myora said quite matter-of-factly. "That's why I'm actually worried that she might be in some big trouble!

Jeremy nodded in agreement with his sister, "Yep. Her psychic powers and all, I guess it enhances her memory too or somethin'. I never really quite understand what goes on in Nitara's mind!"

"She remembers things, a lot of things. Usually she doesn't really think about it, but even though she hasn't been in Hyrule for a long time I betcha if ya asked her how many pieces of stone were in the side of a particular buildin' in the castle she'd tell ya. I'm worried that someone who has a grudge against some people in Hyrule might try to capture her or somethin'. She could draw out a blueprint o' the North Castle for any person that could convince her they needed it." Myora said, she sounded quite worried.

(OOC: Some of the topics that she was in really happened... I think... In the alternate timeline I guess, the ones that actually finished...)

Jeremy sighed, "But of course she wouldn't. I don't think that she trusts anyone in this entire world except for Nariko."

Myora agreed, "It's practically impossible to gain her trust... Guess she only trusts you if she lets ya into her mind. Nariko and her always know what the other one is thinkin'"

Jeremy look puzzled, "Still not sure how ya get into her mind in the first place, think its got somethin' to do with her eyes."

Suddenly the small bits of mist that had been drifting around them cleared as they burst through the final cloud that concealed the country that they were quickly entering. They continued walking through the land and found the first signs of civilization within Rahnawyn, farms lined each side of the small dirt road that they were walking on. Than after walking a while longer there was the outskirts of a city and they finally reached the city itself. The buildings lining the dirt road were tall and made of stones that must have been found in other places entirely, and imported here. They entered into a large square where the road they had been following became a large area where stone was laid upon the ground. In the center was a giant fountain spurting with water and it seemed to be blowing mist up into the air. The fountain looked to be made entirely out of emeralds, and the patches of sunlight that shined down from the sky and made its way through the heavy mist made the fountain glitter luminously.

There was a large sign that said ,

Rayne, Town Square, Shops and Inns

to the right of the entrance into the main city. Lining the town square (which was more like a circle and this definately wasn't just a town) were a varying array of shops and stalls. There were peddlers just outside of the buildings calling out to people to buy their warres and children splashing in the emerald fountian playfully. A group of old men were gathered on a wooden terrace that extended from the dark door that adorned a large inn, they talked about adventures they had been in as children, and young men, with nostalgia in their voices. Longing for days of old...

Myora raised her eyebrows, "Quite busy today eh? Well, I was never here much, but I guess this city must be busy a lot than..."

"Better start lookin'" Jeremy commented, "I wonder if we could find Nariko here? That might be helpful?"

"We'll look tomarrow..." Myora said, "Right now we should find someplace to stay, it's going to be night soon."

They both began walking toward an inn. Not the one that the old men were at, they didn't wanna have to deal with that at all. They walked toward one that was entitled...

THE DANCING REDBIRD -- Bar and Rooms

They turned back to the others, "Coming?" The twins inquired in unision.
