Hyrule Adventures 2

OOC: Yes, it is as Julian said. So, without further ado, here's his post.

IC:
A seeping light breaks through the tattered bindings as the young sheikah peers into the hollow cover of the book. There aren't any pages nor markings or writing, just an aged back cover that seems to shine an eeirie black aura, like a nefarious fog of black smoke. Breaing past the raven veil is the image of a Hylian, clad in a black tunic and a sword hanging by his side, tears streaming down his eyes as he collapses in front of five shadowy figures. His voice echoes through the cavernous walls of a temple shrine not unlike the one your in right now.

"Who are all of you?! Who am I?! Why have you been following me?!" The Hylian cries out, his eyes blazing a firey hue as he stares at the five. They stand there, animated shadows in the air. "Vincent...you have known this all your life. It's been calling you the day you were born. The voices, the darkness inside you. We just want guide you." Their voices, a cold whisper in the temple, speak.

"Who are you!!!"

"Look in the archives, your identity lies in the scriptures..."

"Who am I? What am I? Where did I come from..." The Hylian runs forth, his sword held high above his head. He cries out one last time as he brings down his blade and cuts through the shadows leaving a black mist in the air. Vincent collapses on the floor and begins to begins to cry out into the heavens: "Who am I!!!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The shadows of the book begin to darken and swirl as the cries of the Hylian fade out. A light pierces through the veil again, this time showing the Hylian, bruised and burned, standing outside a forest, a smile latched onto his face as his legs break down and his sword falls down in anguish.

"Heh, heh...blood...I haven't seen it in so long. Akari, you've failed at defeating me again. If only you could see my blood."

The Hylian swipes his hand over his tattered tunic, his hand catching the blood as it streams down his torso, his smile shining in the crimson light of the sunset.

"I have succeeded in finding it, Akari. I tasted the spirits and because of that...I shall live again. Now...*cough, cough* to rid me of my curse and pass it again to another."

The Hylian grabs the hilt of his sword, its blade shining like fire.

"I'm sorry..."

The blade plummets forth, breaking through his bloody torso and travelling through to the back of his body. He kneels there, silent as he stares down at the blade, smiling maliciously. The forest breathes in as it watches in anticipation. The sky paints a black sky as it immitates the soldier. The sun falls behind emerald hills, afraid of what he's done and the ocean cries outwards and spits its salty air into the sky as the shadows that have risen from Vincent contaminate its waters.

"How many more? I was weak but the tides haven't come in full power. I'm sorry...I couldn't return to you..."

With those last words, the Hylian collapses, his body lifeless on the earthly floor. The book fades out once more his last words echoing through its bindings.

The atmosphere of the room gave it a strange feeling to Alex, like there was heavy rock over his chest; he grabed a random book from the bunch and looked at the cover... no title, except for two strange marks on it; "blood..." thought the Zora as he passed his finger over the marks, but then he noticed something that shoked him even more, those marks seemed to reasemble... eyes, two red eyes that reminded him of ...but then he thought " could the darkness ever incarnate in...him... "those eyes!"

"Well, this doesn't seem to be an average book"said Alex with a calmed voice that was just to hide how scared he was "You seem to be very dangerous for a bunch of paper"

Then, he turned back at the old man and spoke again calmed.

"Excuse me, what do you know about this book?" he said as he raised the book so the elder could see clearly blood stains, the he awaited for the answer, hoping that it was what he expected... but then he thought: 'maybe it`s better to look that to listen' then he opened the book and entered his contents...

OOC: I hope this is enough, I based it on a book I read recently; JAJAJAJA...umm, nevermind

The book, a poor looking thing, peals open, its pages falling out of its bindings in a rush. The book takes on a similiar transformation as before, the ink pool swirling nefariously in the insides. A light, crimson hue, pierces the darkness and eluminates your faces like a raging fire.

It's strange, this book, unlike the one before, doesn't show a memory. It shows...the town...aflame. You can feel the heat. It burns inside of you as if you were there. The book screams, the yelling and crying echoing throughout the chamber. Tears stream down your eyes; You can't let go; It won't let you go, not until you feel it. Not until you know what will happen.

Images flash before your weeping eyes. Children screaming, women falling, men burning asunder. The laughing, it continues. The book begins to burn in your hands. A from the ashes of the town, he rises, the creature rises again and is reborn in the subaqueous body of the darkness.The fire, black as night, burns through the bindings, leaving you, with burned hands, standing there, speechless.

'I'm coming.'

Alex stands there sweting, shoked by the awful heat (he is a zora), he falls to the ground uncouncious...
He then wakes alone in the library; remembering the past events, he stands on his feet and runs all the way to the inn...
To be continued...
OOC: in the slumber inn post, sorry for thr long delay, but I´ve been sort of busy in school

OOC: No prob, Alex. Good to have you back; now we can get this thing rolling again.

IC:
"Alex?" Alpha looks at the Zora as he falls to the ground. 'What the - what did he see?' He grabs the book his companion had been looking at and quickly reshelves it. He tries to wake the Zora, but fails. Confused, he goes to the old man.

However, before he can ask what could have possibly happened, he hears the door slamming. "Alex?" He returns to where the Zora had lain, finding him gone. "Alex!" He pauses for a long second, and in a moment of difficult decision, grabs the book Alex had been seeing before he fainted. Hiding it beneath his cape, he darts after the Zora, barely managing to catch a glimpse of his friend running back towards the inn. He takes off after him.
