Hyrule Adventures 2

"We're looking for someone," Lady Rose replies. "When Alpha gets back, you can ask him, or you can ask Shada." Lady Rose kept on looking at the Zora; she had never seen one before.

"Oh, hey Alex!" Shada calls out to the Zora. "We're having a little meeting about the problem with the Hakiems." She then explains everything all over again (OOC: How I love to just say that), catching the Zora up-to-date. At the end of the summary, she calmly asks, "So, care to join us? All serious talks are suspended until Keyru, er, Alpha returns from getting a few more recruits."

"Your name is Alex?" Lady Rose asks. "I didn't think that would be a Zora name. But where are my manners. I'm Lady Rose Hillmound. Well, you can drop the Lady part."

Brr... it's getting a bit chilly...-Tayro thought, while rubbing his chest to get his body temperature a bit higher.
Getting a bit more close to the fire, the boy noticed a vagabond approaching the group.
Hearing his question, Arco's reply, and Shada greeting him, calling him Dogura, the Mage apprentice introduced himself to him.

Quickly after, another person joined the group, this time a Zora.
That one is definitly not Zaboorak, or the group here would have already entered in panic. He looks nice, too! - the boy thought, smiling.

Again, he proceeded in greeting the new arrival, and as he was about to answer him, Shada popped out of who-knows-where, and replied too fast. Angered, the Hylian glared at her, plotting his revenge.

Dogura calmed his soul. Just wait for the battle. He reassured himself. Dont lose controll... Dogura Thought about Arco's words, before noticing the the woman in front of him. "Please excuse my manners." Dogura said trying to force a smile on his face. "I am Dogura. And you are, Rose Hillmound? Graced to meet you. I think ive seen you before. I once took a journey out of the country, to a place near the haunted wasteland. I ended up fighting a man with a hammer, but I noticed your face in the crowd. Am I correct? Although, it may just be my imagination. Women were always held of the highest respect in my family, so if there is anything I can do for you, Dont hesitate to ask." A bead of sweat rolled down Dogura's forehead. He clutched his head, and lept into a tree to calm himself down. "Damn moon..." Dogura muttered under his breath. Last time a full moon had risen, terrible things happened to those dear to him. He had to remain in controll. "Just a few more hours." Dogura said in a whisper.

Lady Rose was about to tell Dogura that she had never seen her before, but he had jumped into a tree. Jumpy fellow, she thought to herself. I wonder what's wrong with him.

Nogare, through his travels, sees aa fire over by the moat. I should go there for the night... or even to get a bit of food...

He makes his way over there, and sees about 15 people, talk amongst each other. Kasei was among them. He kept his tough shut for the time. Then he saw Victor there. At least someone he knew was there... Victor. Oh, and Cloud. That was relief... Oh, good; Tayro! So he wouldn't look like some stranger here. So if Kasei ends up attacking me, he''ll be alright. But, of course, he wasn't afraid of the sheikah... All he needed to consentrate on was the right time...

Nogare appeared out of the shadows, wearing his brown cloak, the hood over his head. "Greetings. Do you mind if I join this conversation? What's happening?"

Suddenly, everyone was suddenly crying out, "No! Please! Just try to follow along!" Suprised, he shrugged his shoulders, and sat back by the side of a tree; the same tree that Cloud was beside a while ago when they fought Kasei. He dropped his pack, which did a big favour to his back, since that's what held his Chainmail. Belegcam was
placed beside him. He followed the conversation, and figured out that they were going to head for the Lighthouse in the morning. But all the while, he could just feel Kasei's dark gaze... From the bottom of his hood, he looked up, to see if Kasei was looking at him. He was. He slowly hid his eyes away, trying his best not to give himself away.

It was becoming midnight. His eyes glowed in the fire, but did not look mysterious or dangerous; everyone save for Kasei thought of him as a good man, who had met him before. They mentioned Alpha, and he learned that Alpha was leading them. He knew Alpha to be a good fighter and a good leader from the Battle of Ruto. It was good to know he was here. He was gone though... oh well... By the sounds of things, Alpha needs every man he can get. Very well; I will join him in his mission. But I do know what he will not change to be Order any time soon... so, I just hope this mission will be for the good of Hyrule. That Goron sounds Dangerous, though... killing him will make things more peacful... so I suppose this isn't for an evil sake... as long as it isn't evil, I shall acompany him...

Was a wall flower for a while, but eventually realized that he didn't like the times that people kept themselves hidden from the world... So, when he figured no one was looking at him, he took off his hood, but kept the cloak to it's purpose; to keep him warm. He then spoke up, seeing that everyone was done their talking. "So... does anyone know how long Alpha will be?"

Alex felt welcome in this group, it felt warmer than sleeping with wolfos, but it was not the heat of the fire, wich he tried to avoid as much as possible, ti was something else...
"Lady Rose?" he said " Are you a noblemaid? I'm somehow from royal blood" he showed the tatoo on his shoulder, a hollow drop of water with vines with thorns at each side
Then he looked to the sky waiting for a reply

Heh. I never thought a Zora would ask a human that... But even so, Nogare was adjusting his back so he would be confertable to hear the reply of Lady Rose. He had never heard of her, but, he couldn't know everyone in Hyrule; it's not that small...

"It's the Lady, isn't it?" Lady Rose replies. "Well, yes and no. I was born into an aristocratic family, but I ran away from them. After that, I would punch anyone who called my Lady Rose. But after I got out of the military academy, I quickly moved up the ranks. By the time I was twenty, I was the general, so I pretty much had to have Lady as a title. But now that I'm no longer in the Tarm Army, Lady is hardly necessary."

OOC: I know that I still call her Lady Rose. But it's been a habit ever since I started writing my The Ruins of Tarm fanfic. I'll just keep on using Lady Rose here, but when I start writing more fanfics with her in it, I'll be dropping the "Lady" part myself.

The samurai, now sitting by the fire, was sandwhiched between two strangers. He noticed tension growing between two certain new commers, and was eyeing them trying to figure thier game. He looked over at ms. Hillmound. She seemed so elegant and majestic. Dogura reached in his belt pack, and removed a bottle of sake. The vagabond was not normally an alchohalic, but he was having a good time amoungst friends, and decided to have a drink. It felt good as it slid down his dry throat. This also helped calm him, and in a way relaxed him. He leaned back, and gazed at the shining stars. Picking out a couple constellations, the image of a skull appeared in the lining of the stars. Dogura sat up, as a bead of sweat rolled down his neck. He quickly reached into his pack, and removed a small purple book, with a "Earth" Emblem on it. He removed a stick of deku wood, poured some sake on the tip, and lit it in the fire, to illuminate the pages of his book. He read for a moment before closing the book, and extinguishing the flame on his stick. "A bad omen of things to come..." Dogura muttered as he closed his pack, and glanced around nervously. Perhaps it wasnt the greatest idea to have a fire lit. They would be perfectly visible to the enemy, and vulnerable, being off guard. They were close enough to the castle to get help, but Dogura couldnt shake a certain thought from his mind. Catastrophy...

lady rose, wy is it your here, if you are a general what are you doing in hyrule then?

"My unit was heading back to Tarm City one day," Lady Rose replies. "We were attacked by a squad of Stalfoses. I would call it a skirmish, but my unit was massacred. My husband sacrificed himself to save me. I went back to the city and warned Doyle, our king. We evacuated the city, and the Tarm Kingdom fell into an abyss (speaking metaphorically, of course). I was leading the city through the Lost Woods when the goddesses came to me in a dream and sent me here. And that wasn't too long ago."

thats sad you know missing you, beloved ones,
arn't you planning to go back to Tarm...

"Not in this dimension," Lady Rose replies. "Do you believe in different dimensions? I do, because the goddesses told me this Hyrule is a different one than the one I grew up knowing. No, the goddesses sent me here for a reason. And there isn't a reason for me to go back now. Not without Baris there waiting for me." She bows her head, tears forming, but she keeps her composure; she was never one to cry in public.
