Denning and the deku both stop infront of the rock. The deku speaks.

"Now, Denning we shall enter into New Hyrules head quarters. Follow me Denning."

The Deku goes to the west side of the rock, pushes one of the rocks, as he does this, a hidden door opens.

"Any of Denning's friends who have followed us. Come show yourselfs, as a friend of Dennings, I shall let you in."

The deku then waits for your response, and the response of all others who followed.

Nogare's heart seemed to stop. How did it know I was here?! He never was fond of Deku... ever... but he must now...

"I am here..." the Vassal was breathing hard in the heat of the desert. It was always hot, no matter what time it was. "I was following. I was curious..." Nogare said no more. He didn't want to say his true purpose... yet...

"You rang?" comes a voice from above both Denning and the Deku. Above both of them is Alpha, assuming a very relaxed sitting position on the stony surface. He doesn't move, remaining laid back against the rocks, but he does lower his hood to reveal a sly grin. "So, what have you gotten us all into this time, Denning?"

The deku smiles at the new arivals.

"Welcome you two, come out all the others, come out!

But, as we wait, let us go in, and I shall answer your questions..."

The Deku starts to lead into the doorway, Denning following him.

Grenada just happened to be passing by, then he heard a familiar voice. A deku, and Denning, he remembered a seen similar to this not to long ago. 'Come alone' the deku had warned, and he decided to mind his own business. Now, though, it seemed, the Deku was inviting -if that was the word- them in. Turning his head slightly, he saw an entrance to Tantari Rock, and figured that's what was being referred to. Making his way to the entrance, he peered in, slowly leaning with his left hand gripped tightly to the rock. Sliding in swiftly, he began almost a trot to catch up, curious as to the discussion at hand between Denning and the Deku..

"Haha! See that!" A familiar voice cries out. "Denning has more friends than you expected, im sure of it. If you wish any harm on any of us!" Dogura didnt complete his scentence, allowing the Deku to use his imagination. Dogura slipped out of the shadows with a grin. "Your kind decieve others to get what you want. Am i correct" Dogura said slyly. "If you had a plan, it will surely fail. Now. Go on and answer denning's questions." Dogura waited for the storm.

OOC: If you havent noticed by some of Dogura's quotes, The Vagabond was deeply inspired by Soul Calibur's Mitsurugi. (His voice is also moddled after Mitsurugi's! )

" I amno friend of you, Denning!" Sovelis half shouts. " I will seek you out and exstinguish your life someday..." he finishes as he disapears into sandstorm...

The deku smiles and motions to everyone to follow him into the doorway. After he does this, he and Denning enter it. Then they wait to see who will follow them in.

Alpha sighs as the two disappear into the rocks beneath him. He slowly rises to his own feet and hops down to the sandy floor, then proceeds to follow them inside. 'And I was just getting comfortable, too...'

And Link909 all over again!

IC: Nogare, although filled with questions which needed answering, remained quiet. He needed to find the right time to stop the Deku from giving Denning that Necklace...

The sun beat down on him. He had been in this desert many times before. I am not aware of what is happening. He struggles to focus, but can't he leans against the legendary Tantari Rock.

Nitara thought it safe to reveal herself now. But soon realized that one had not entered the rock as well. It was Nogare he was dizzy from the desert heat, she was sure. But hey she was actually glad to be back it the desert again. She climbed over the rock and approached Nogare from behind, "Hello, so are you coming in or not."

"I am" said Alex suddenly "But are you?" he came out of the shadows "Maybe it's cooler inside; this heat is unbearable"

Blank had not exactly been standing around in the shadows. Such behavior was hardly his idiom; rather, he stood out in the open and made it foolishly obvious that he had indeed been following Denning. The cleric's escapades always drew his attention, and this instance was no different. The Deku made the role call for allies of the Sheikah, and the nomad stared bewildered as the others appeared as if from nowhere. Where did they come from? he thought, feeling better about having shown himself so openly.

"I'm a friend of Denning's!" shouted Blank, making sure not to strain his voice to a point that he was speaking louder than the others. There was no need for any extra attention. However, while thinking to heavily on the situation, he had somehow phased out all of his surroundings. A bad habit of his, but nothing serious, thankfully. As he awakened from his trance, he noticed that he was standing alone, and he quickly jolted inside the lair. He knew not the alignment of the beings calling the rock home; friend or foe, he was not sure, but at least he would be surrounded by his allies should conflict arise.

"Well I guess that I wasn't the only one planning on following after. And what do you mean cooler, this desert isnt nearly as hot as where I come from. This is cool."

As everyone enters the door way, you can see large room, shelves filled with books, cups, drinks,and food surrond the walls. In the middle of the room, is a large table. The deku takes a seat at one end of the table and motions to everyone to sit.

"Now, Denning, it is time to answer your questions, the explenation is long, but please,bear with me.

Now, lets start from where your search left off. You know of an ancient cleric, who led a rebelion against the cleric order. This cleric indeed did exist, as did his followers. Before the rebelion started, the cleric formed an orginization known as Shadowreign, this was the group of necromancers the cleric had, but not all in his group where necromancers, some where soldiers that the cleric took as his own. The order never knew of Shadowreign, and so they were not destroyed, they live on. But before we get onto that, lets get the history of that cleric.

The cleric's attack, failed, as you know, and the necromancers who where with him were exicuted. But the hate for the cleric was great in the order, and they did worse then kill him, they sent his soul into the demonic realm. There, he was tortured, and eventually became a demon himself. The once rightious and powerful cleric, was now a demon. But you Denning, want to know the clerics name, no? Well, I shall tell it to you. Deoxolips. He was once a cleric like yourself, and had ideas similar to yours. He was not the Deoxolips you see know, that one is the demon, the old Deoxolips is gone.

Now, lets get back to Shadowreign. The groups leader changed again and again, the leader was always the strongest necromancer still able to lead. But recently, another came to the groups fortress, called Damon, no one knew who it was, we had never seen him. He told us that he was Deoxolips, the same cleric that formed to group. That is when Shadowreign split. Those who did not agree with Deoxolips's new ideas left. I am one of them, and the leader of them. I am New Hyrules leader, Gerik. Deoxolips has no idea that we made our own ogrinization, but has his people looking for the few of us here. Our number is quite low, only 40. We have no main base, like Damon, but are spread, this place, is our HQ, but only 10 reside here. We want Deoxolips destroyed, and we want you to do it. Yes, we know Marin is one of his puppets, but it may come to him being killed. So this is my proposition for you Denning, I want you to join us, and lead an attack against fort Damon.

Denning is open jawed, and speachless.

"Wow...I, I dont know what to say, I have wanted to kill him, yes, Ill do it, and New Hyrule will help me, right? I dont have to do this alone, right?"

" I have a small group ready, take who ever else is you want, perhaps your firends here can help you.

Oh, and all of you, If you even try to tell anyone about these groups, I will see you dead, you may recruit to friends, but not to the army. Trust me, I will know if you do.

Now Denning, you are a member of New Hyrule, and as a gift, I have prepared for you a symbol of this."

The deku opens a chest on the ground and takes out a great black and purple robe, with a matching cloak, he hands them to Denning, and Denning puts them on.

"Treat this place as your home, Denning, and friends. And do come back here when your group is ready, and bring them with you. If anyone would like to join now, please sign this."

The Deku slides a paper to the other end of the table, about 17 names, are on it, Gerik's is not, But Dennings already is.
