Propped up in the middle of a clearing in the forest, sits a small cottage. It appears to made of mahogany wood, and has a stone chimney that sits right on top. It has a door, and a welcome mat, and seems to be in good shape. As you approach it further more you realize some lights are on, and there is a faint humming sound heard from inside.

His curiosity getting the better of him, Xokorn approached the house. The doormat layed on the stoop perfectly in front of the door, as if someone took pains to be a perfectionist.

The humming grew louder and louder as he approached the door. He knocked on the door...

A flapping sound is heard behind Xokorn, as a something emerged from the trees. It was clearly a Rito, but he was carrying something in his arms. It was a woman! And she looked like she had been hurt. The rito stared hard at the man by Dogura's house. "you. What buisness have you here?" He said, spreading his feathers to hide the mangled woman.
OOC: GREAT TIMING MAGMAR

OOC: I'll just go ahead and guess that this takes place after the pirate fight...

IC:

Forests were always shadowy places, and one could easily conceal himself in the shade of a single tree, watching and waiting. The house seemed odd, and the lights and humming did little to take away from the obvious: someone was probably inside.

It was then that two figures appeared on the scene. One seemed vaguely familiar, the other more so. Blank identified the one man as Xokorn, of whom had helped the nomad battle the pirate captain in Rauru Town just recently. A newer face in Hyrule, but welcome nonetheless. The second face, the beaked, feathered man, was a figure lost in the caverns of Blank's mind. Darkin, the "legendary" Rito. He was always an odd character, but what was he doing here? And with an unconscious girl in his arms, no less? The nomad decided to sneak up on the two men, int he most comical way possible.

"Why hello there, Darkin. I have been waiting for you," came a menacing voice from the shadows of North Forest. Blank had augmented his voice beyond recognition, so that Darkin would not recognize it. He had also made himself sound like an enemy, or an enigma shrouded in mystery. A dangerous one, at that. Then, he stepped into the brighter area, the light showing his identity and a wide grin, which he had worn while formulating this surprising idea. That is, his face was alive with stifled laughter; he could have burst into a fit at any point.

"Long time no see, Darkin," said Blank, still smiling and approaching the familiar Rito. More and more he wondered about the explanation behind his acquaintance's current dilemma; why he had shown up at the strange cottage with a young girl in his arms. It dawned on him that Darkin and Dogura were close allies. Whenever he had met with the Rito, Dogura had been with him. "What's going on?" came the short question. To the point, it demonstrated Blank's slight concern.

The Rito froze in place upon hearing the menacing voice behind him. He wouldnt have recconized that it was Blank's voice, even if it wasnt changed, or hidden. The last time Darkin had seen Blank was a long time ago at a camp fire. The words rang in his mind as he thought back.

"No noogies. Ever!"

Darkin lightly smiled, and looked back at Xokorn.

"Well the fact is that this poor young woman was trampled in a recent riot that broke out in town. It was pretty bad. we rushed out as soon as possible. Her sister was with her, but she must be having a hard time catching up." Darkin set the woman down, and pulled back an eyelid. "She's still out like a rock. She must have been hit pretty hard." He stood up and glanced back and fourth between Blank and his new friend Xokorn. "Do you guys know eachother?" Darkin asked before another voice cut the silence. "What is this a party?" The groupe turned to see Dogura standing in front of his door. "A party at my own house, and i wasnt invited?" Dogura chuckled, as he welcomed them in.

Darkin spoke, "There is another woman following us, we should party out here until she catches up." Dogura nodded, not yet noticing the unconciouse woman. "Ill go get beverages." He dissapeared into the house, but not before stopping at the door to ask,

"Is anyone here an alcohalac?" He grinned at Darkin. Darkin turned red with rage. "Hey! That was a low blow! It was a long time ago Dogura, and you know it!" Dogura chuckled. "But i dont think they do." He pointed at Xokorn and Blank. Darkins face burned. "Shut up Dogura! Water will be fine!" Dogura laughed a laugh harder than usual before dissapearing inside the house once more.

OOC: Where are you hi no Seijin? Was Darkin too fast for Rose? lol! And i know she's not related to rose, im just expressing the fact that Darkin is a bit naive and has never met either of you. Where are the others too? Oh well, the show must go on

OOC: So this is where it's hding. Sorry.

IC:
Rose comes running up, breathing a bit harder than back in town, but not that much. It was quite obvious that she was used to running long distances. "How is she?" Rose asks, refering to the woman in Darkin's arms.

OOC: Oh, and Rose parent's are dead and Cloud just killed her sister. She has no family in Hyrule.

OOC: Like i said before i know.

IC: Dogura returned with water, and noticed Rose. "Oh, good day Miss Rose. I'll get an extra glass of water." He greeted as he dissapeared into the house again. He returned, and handed her a glass. He turned his gaze to the woman on the ground. Before he could speak, Darkin cut the silence. "She was tramples in a riot in town. She needs treatment A.S.A.P. We brought her here because i figured you could help her."

Dogura glared at Darkin. "And you waited until now to tell me?" He scooped her up. "Lets get her inside." Dogura said, as he welcomed them in. Inside Dogura's house, was a living room, holding a rocking chair, a dinner table, a cooking stove, and two doors. One lead to Dogura's bedroom, where a Bed and a table were visible, and the other was a closet full of jackets and clothes. The Vagabond snickered. "It looks ordinary dosent it?" He lifted up a false part of the floor, revealing a staircase. It was dark, but Dogura lit a candle, as they decended down the Stairway.

There was a loud humming noise, as the decent continued. The humming grew louder and louder, until the noise capped at about the foot of the stairs. He pulled a lever, and the room lit up, but no windows! These odd glass appendages lined the walls and ceilings, as they gave off light. "I call it the light bulb!" Dogura stated proudly, as he turned around. The room was huge! There were shelves lined with all kinds of books on Hylian history, and lore. There were test tubes, and viles that held variouse colored fluids inside them. The room was big, and had a large table near the right corner of the room. He stepped up to it, and layed the woman on the table. He soaked a cloth in the sink, folded it once, and placed it on her head.

"She will be fine." Dogura said, as Darkin sighed in relief. "Glad i could make the catch." Darkin said as he examined the room furthermore. It was unlike anything Darkin had seen. It was like a giant science lab. He knew Dogura was smart... But a genius?

"What in all of heaven, earth, and hell is this?" Rose asks in amazement, her glass of water forgotten.

OOC: What happened to Ms. Rose? Come on, ZV, you know she was married. Oh, and Rose already invented the light bulb. XD

Alpha wanders into the clearing just in time to spot several of his allies disappearing into house. He quickly follows after them, entering the house just in time to spot the last of the group disappearing into a hidden stairway. Quickly descending after them, he arrives in the area just in time for him to hear a collective sigh of relief.

Questioning what the heck was going on - along with where he was and what all the strange contraptions in the room were - he quickly knocks on the wall to get everyone's attention. "Mind telling me what's going on?"

OOC: Alright, ZV! It took me a few days to get to it, but I finally have joined up!

Monty Python and the Holy Grail wrote:And there was much rejoicing. Yay....

Everyone turned to the source of the knocking noise, to see confused Alpha standing at the foot of the stairs. "Oh, hey Alpha!" Darkin said. "Im seeing all these familiar faces now that i've returned from vacacion!" He said, shaking his hand. Dogura smiled. "Good to see you again Alpha! I see you are a bit confused." He snapped a finger, and Darkin whipped out a note pad. "For one, we are at my home. You wouldnt believe me, but it used to be underground, but due to recent tremors, ive decided to surface!" Darkin was jotting down something on the paper, as Dogura continued to speak.

"This is my new invention. It has the potential to make me a very rich man!" Dogura beamed. "I call it the light bulb! While battleing a moblin late one night, It decided to cast a thunder spell, which caught me off gaurd. Moblins usually lack the intelegence to learn a spell. It gave off intense light. After destroying him, I pondered if i could harness the light. And so i have!" He turned to the woman still on the table. She was whearing a blue dress, and she had a ribbon in her hair. Her hair was obviously her best feature. It streamed a long and beautiful blonde down to her tailbone. "Darkin arrived at my home with this woman in his arms. Apparently, she was knocked silly in a recent riot in town." He grabbed the cloth, soaked it again in cold water, and replaced it. "She will be fine. She could be up and walking by tomorrow."

Dogura pointed to his many shelves stocked to the brim with books. "This is where i do all of my research. My newest book is on the table." He pointed to a black book. "Ever scince our encounter with the Hakiems, Ive kept records on their eating habits, behavior, society, religion, etc. Now im going to make a potion out of some rare herbs, that if assembled correctly, could wake her up in a matter of minutes" Darkin ripped out the sheet of paper, and handed it to Alpha. "Anything else, feel free to ask." Dogura said, as he made his way over to the table near the book shelf.

He strapped on some goggles, and pulled on some gloves, and went to work. He reached in a cuboard and removed a small glass pot. He grabbed some herbs and mixed some chemicals. "Now for the hard part." He muttered, as he reached in a cupboard labled Keep Out. "If i add some blue chu jelly, a wake up mushroom, and some boko baba seeds, at just the right time." He muttered, as he held the herbs over the pot. The juice began to fizz, and at that exact moment, Dogura dropped them in, and the potion turned purple.

(Cue the "get a new item music) Dogura holds it above his head. "Aha! The purple potion! The ultimate in repenishing potions!" He cries as he rushes over to the woman eager to try his new potion. Darkin frowned. "Dogura! She's not a test subject!" Dogura looked a little hurt by the comment, but continued anyway. Grabbing a funnel, he slides it in her mouth, and begins pouring in the purple liquid. It smelled good, but looked aweful. After half the bottle was gone, Dogura lifted the funnel, and waited for a reaction.

His appetite for success was apeased, as the woman jerked awake. She looked around the room, almost in a daze. She looked frightened until she spotted Rose. "Y-you!" She said as she slid off the table. "You saved me! Thank you so much!" She shook roses hand. Darkin's face rumpled. "Ahem!" Darkin muttered. She turned and stared at him. "Did you help too? I had no idea Hyrule was so full of such friendly people!" She cried as she threw her arms around darkin. Darkin blushed. "Well, i.. Didnt do that much.. I just well. I guess." Darkin stammered. He pointed a finger at Dogura.

"He's the one who took care of you while you were out. You should be thanking him!" She looked shocked. "More helpful people? This place is everything i heard it was and more!" She said joyfully. "How can i ever thank you guys?" She asked as she wrapped her arms around the vagabond. "Wait wait. All we did was help you out of the crowd!" Dogura said flatly. "Its not that much." She shook her head. "No, you have no idea what kind of servise you've done for me." She was obviously doing something much more than just getting across the street. But what?
OOC: Glad you could make it Alpha! I recently misplaced the paper i was going by for my dungeon. Ill find it soon though, dont worry.

"I'm amazed by the friendliness of Hylians too," Rose says, smiling. "What is your name?"

OOC: Hold up. She shakes Rose's hand, but she gives Darkin and Dogura a hug? What the hell? I want Rose to have a hug!

She hugs rose.

OOC: How's that? Also, you could have actually responded in IC jeez Hi no Seijin i expected better. Tsk tsk tsk.

OOC: Oh well. And what about Rose's question, huh? She just asked who the woman was.

The woman smiled. "My name doesent matter! What does, is that i need to change really quick. Ive been in these clothes for too long. A little privacy please!" She said, as she reached into her fanny pack. The adventurers left the room for a moment for her to change. "Is she trust worthy in Dogura's lab?" Darkin asked, as they exited the doorway.

EDIT: It had been a while. She had been changing for almost ten minutes. "Miss? Are you about changed?" Dogura asked, knocking on the door. "Hello? Miss?" He opened the door a bit, and waited for a shriek. Nothing. Dogura fully opened the door and peered inside. She was gone. All that was left was a note.

The Woman wrote:She is still alive. A prisoner at North Castle holds the answers."

Dogura stood up. "To North Caste immediately!

Sovelis knocks on the door. don't want to be rude and just barge in... he thinks.
