"I'm going with Blank too" said Alex as he stood up "You two take care here" he said at Alpha and looking at Calla "And the others be careful in Parapa Village, didn't like the last time I was there..."
He went out and looked at the moon, that was now aproaching the horizon, thinking of how far could Shda had gone in the last 24 hours...

OOC: Geez, sorry guys. Missed all of this! It' tough having 2 events going at once... Mine and yours... I should have chosen a different time... but I chose to do my thing at the last possible moment... well, let's make up for it.

IC: Nogare was never in the cave. He had been outside, uncouncious. He looked around, seeing a familiar sight...

He was by his friend's grave. Where he had buried Weralgae Enfruty as they retreated from the battle at Fort Damon months ago. He smiled to himself.

But it was only breif, for he saw as the others were leaving North. Once again, just like before, he couldn't stay. He was pushed to follow. He looked to the cave. Something told him he needed to go there... but something also told him he needed to follow the others as they went North.

He made his choice. He felt for Belegcam. Right... the Haikems have it... He used a tree branch near the base of the tree, and pulled himself up. He was very weak. Nothing comparing to what Alpha was, but he was not used to deserts, and it the heat made it worse. But he had gone from the Thicket to Fort Damon in the past. He could make it simply from here to Parapa Village. Summoning his little strength, and using the mountain's base for balance, he made his way North...

Rose bursts in, her wings still behind her. "Alpha, here is the medicine," she says, taking out the vial. Expecting Alpha to ask where the others are, she continues speaking. "Koura, Raven, and Dogura are in trouble. Some masked man was attacking them when I left. I'm going back now so I can help them." She looks at the others in the cave. "The battle's taking place north of here," she tells them. "Run as fast as you can."

"Sounds bad. Hurry Rose, get back to them." Catching the vial of medicine in midair, he quickly uncaps the bottle and walks as fast as he can back to where Calla sleeps. Tilting her head back, he pours the mixture in the Rito's throat, helping her to swallow it as he does so. 'Interesting,' he thinks as he catches a whiff of the stuff. 'Smells like...grapes?'

The Sheikah turns to head out of the cave, but the moment his staff ceases functioning as a walking stick he stumbles. 'Still too weak...looks like this is up to you guys, Rose. I hope you get help soon...' Taking a seat, he moves it over to Calla's bed. Soon, he too is sleeping.

OOC: This is when the Events of "The Assassin" take place.

OoC: No fair! While I'm out of I-Net and my life gets chaotic, you all advance on this... no fair T_T Now... to find a way to insert ll' ole Tayro in the scene...

IC:

Still feeling responsible for what had happened, he quickly rose up to answer Alpha's call. In his self, he couldn't stop believing that if this had happened to both Calla and Alpha, it was because he was distracted. It was his fault, and he felt in his senses that he had to make up that mistake of his.
"I'll do my best Alpha!"-he said, his pride going high. He knew that he would have to prove himself his worth. He was just a pathetic kid. He shouldn't, he couldn't, he wouldn't fail the Sheikah's request.

As he was about to leave, he noticed the mage coughing behind him. As he coughed, a bit of sorrow poured again into the youngling's heart. 'If only I had...' continued to echo in his mind. However, he put a brake to his thoughts, shoved them all away.
No use crying over spilt Lon Lon Milk now. I'll just make sure this never happens again.
He let out a sigh as he left the cave. However, he came to notice that the others had left before him.
"Great! Now I'll have to find the way myself..."-he mumbled, making a slightly annoyed face. Step after step he continued walkingtowards what he thought it would be the town's direction, his feet sinking and sand pouring in his shoes as he walked. Sure, it was quite unpleasant, but now there was no time for complaints and stops - someone's life was at risk.

A little while later...

Tayro continued to walk, various signs of exhaustion filling his face. It was no better when he saw the cave where Alpha was hospitalized... if laying in a stranger's bed was considered hospitalized, that means.
"Wha?! I've been walking in circles?! No way..."-he mumbled, quite annoyed. He had walked in the desert for quite some time, and all he managed to do was get lost and walk in circles. Getting a bit despaired, he walked towards the cave to ask direction, though he found out something more. He had entered the cave just in time to hear Rose talking about trouble with the party. His exhaustion vanishing from the excitation of the moment, he only waved at both Alpha and Rose before leaving the cave once more, running in the direction that aARose had pointed him to - North.
Let's just hope I don't get lost this time...

After a long while, the group returns to the cave to find both Alpha and Calla sound asleep. Alpha sleeps in a chair next to Calla's bed, and it takes all of Shada's willpower to not instantly rush over and hug him. That would wake him up, and from what the others have told her, the Sheikah mage certainly needs to rest.

Koura travels over to the other side of where the Rito sleeps, and immediately checks her over. Placing a hand to her forehead, a relieved grin comes over her lips. "Her fever's already broken; she just needs to keep resting."

"That's good," Rose said as she comes in; of course, she is in her original form. Alex just didn't see her change (OOC: Emphasis on Rose and she. ). She sits on the floor near the entrance of the cave and begins to think. The forms she had taken--the banshee, the cir sith, and the baobhan sith--were good. She wouldn't discard them just because some man (or something) thought quickly. Then, given the Sheikah's woman response over the Gerudo's little joke, she considers asking Shada her feelings about Alpha, but decides to ask later when they are alone and can talk woman to woman. Then she remembers Master Zaris.

"We're pretty close to where we were going to meet this Master Zaris," Rose says. "As soon as Calla and Alpha are better, are we going to go find him?"

"Good!" says Alex in a whisper; he watched Alpha sleeping, thinking of how vulnerable his friend had been in the last hours 'At least he's getting some rest now'.
"Oh, and something more, we had some trouble in Rauru, but it's better if I let Shada tell you..."
A growl was heard and Alex embarrassed stood up, he was hungry.
"Now if you don't mind I'm going catch some breakfast, I haven't eaten since last night" the Zora then rushed out to the beach and jumped into the water, not to appear in the next five minutes...
OOC:I couldn't help, I think it's funny that someone so skinny eats a lot (like me )

Kasei can be seen walking from the north, after a while, he arrives, but just stands still, covered in injuries.

"You people make too much noise." A grin forms on Alpha's face as he opens his eyes. "I heard you all coming from a mile away; even if I hadn't, you people talk too loud for me to sleep. I was trained by Master Zaris, if you'll recall..."

He slowly stands and brushes himself off. "I suppose now would be a good time to check and see if Master is around here, once Calla wakes up - an hour, you said, Koura?" Getting a nod from the surprised Gerudo, he gives her a grin. "I feel much better now; I got plenty of rest.

"And I see you two managed to find Shada. Thank you, Blank, Alex." He glances over and spots the Deku that had accompanied them. "And you are...?"

"Yukie, friend of Ukedra," the Deku says with a bow.

Alpha's eye raises as he recognizes the name. "Master sometimes spoke of Ukedra. I would like to meet with your friend some time." He turns back to Calla, then nods to himself. "So, what's the plan exactly?"

"I was hoping you could tell us a plan," Rose says.

OOC: Does this annoy you, Alf?

Blank laughed inwardly at Rose's simple answer. I had hoped the same, he thought, amused that Alpha had asked the question at all. He then remembered that the Sheikah had been absent from most of the events following the group's escape from the the Hakiems' base. He watched Calla resting, glad that the young Rito had been saved. He wondered how soon the girl would be rejuvenated to her initial health.

"Well, Alpha, I imagine we'd best head off to the lighthouse. That was our objective before the Hakiems caught up with us." Suddenly, a grim thought crossed his mind, and he felt it absolutely necessary to express his concern. Blank was always like that; if danger could be avoided, he'd be the first to do so. "Now, this could cause problems. We don't know how long the Hakiems were watching us by the fire, and they could easily have caught wind of the plans for the escapade..." Blank doubted he was being clear enough, and he smiled awkwardly in accordance. "What I mean is, they could very well be waiting for us at the lighthouse."

"Well," Alpha says slowly, "I figure we'd best take Calla with us; Master will be able to find someplace safe for her to stay, somewhere far away from the fighting that's bound to take place. So it's probably a good idea to wait for her to wake up.

"So, we've got about an hour's wait. Anyone care to explain how both missions went? And what's this Rose was saying about a fight?"

"Well," Rose began, "we were going through Parapa Village, and before anyone else says so, I was a horrible distraction. How we didn't get caught, I don't know." She then tells how they went through Parapa Village to get to Doc Enici, the fight in the bar, and the fight with Wraith. She blushes as she tells Alpha how she assumed the form of a baobhan sith to try and seduce the assassin so she could get close enough to suck his blood. "And there you have it," she finishes. She looks over at Calla. "I think she was worth it. I don't like people being mean to other people for no reason." She blushes again at the almost childish line; she had not said it since she was six, but it had been her whole life. To defend others who had a hard time defending themselves.

OOC: Once again, I love doing that.

At the end of Rose's recap, Alpha stares at her with bloodshot eyes - though most people would write that off as the fact that he's a Sheikah with crimson eyes anyways. But in reality, his eyes' hue had slightly darkened as fear gripped him. 'He called himself Wraith...?' As soon as she had said that, he had felt an urge to say that that was impossible, that he was Wraith...but doing so would indeed be a terrible thing. He could never be known as Wraith, because then they would find out about Him, and if that was to happen...well, death was not something he could rule out...

Shada jolts him out of his concentration. "I still suggest that we ask around North Castle for information on this 'Wraith' character. I'm sure someone's heard of him; there's a good chance we could get some of the Hylian Knights to help."

Part of him rebels at the very thought. Any information about Wraith could potentially point to Alpha...but he knows that that couldn't be. He had covered his tracks exceedingly well, beyond the point that most crime lords attempted to hide their business. Doubt may linger in his mind, but the Sheikah refuses to give into it when the facts point to it being a small possibility that a connection could be made.

So he plays the part. "I agree, Shada." Saying no more for fear of slipping up, he turns and looks at the group who had returned with Shada. He says nothing, but his gaze easily communicates what he wishes to ask: And what happened with you guys?
