You come out to the end of the tunnel. The Goryia leads you. The first thing you notice is the thousands of beasts and creatures filling the hall. They are facing a balcony, with a tall Wizzorbe standing before them. They chant some damned words in Infernal.

"Welcome to the Exile's base!" Exclaims the Goryia. "And that... is Carakam King!"

From the shadows, enters a man, a man who you have never laid eyes on.

He is a Hylian, and stands just over 6 feet tall. He wears a dark leather chestpiece and dark leather leggings, his boots and gloves are also a dark leather. Wrapped around his neck loosly, is a long flowing dark green cloak. Atop the cloak sitsa quiver, loaded with gilded arrows.

On his sides, rest duel gilded blades, they are both short swords, and are sheathed in a black metal case.

In his left hand, he holds a bow, a bow to which there are few equals. It is made of wood, but not Deku wood, something more exotic, and very forign. You have never seen a bow that looks like this one. It is a longbow, and its wood is a dark brown, golden stripes go around the bow, in a quite nice looking fashion.

Tucked away at his side, is a sheathed crystal dagger, its blade is covered, but you can see a small portion, in which a black cloud floats in the blade.

The stranger speaks.

"Hello, you who shall help the exiles, hello. I am here to welcome you on behalf of my lord and master, to whom I am his speaker. My master wishes you welcome. And says to tell you something you may not yet know.

The exiles are not working alone. No, we of Shadowsreign shall be aiding you. You wil not find any of Shadowreign here, for this is not our base, but eventually you will go there, and one day, meet the master."

The stranger backs up, until he is close enough to the wall to lean on it. He has stoped speaking.

"Your Master! Yours is appart from Master Cobra. Master Cobra governs all... even over yours... "

A loud voice sounded from the Balcony. "Exiles! Soldiers, slaves alike, I have summoned you here for our attack upon Hyrule!" The creatures roared loudly. Luckily, from where you are seated, you can see the bacony straight ahead. Carakam continued. "Now, to those who have not been told, I shall not lead this fight. I leave that to another... to the Bearer of Power!"

OOC: Yes, people, Marin got speacil permission from me to have an NPC of his here. But you can't put yours up unless you ask me. You can, if I haven't already..."

kasei is not far behind the group, he looks around for anyone he knew...
heh, so, this cobra guy, is he realy ugly?

OOC: sorry for the short one, but I gots to go, nogare, if ya want, take control of kasei from here...

OOC: Aye, sir! I will be him when Kasei must do something!

IC: The Goryia, instead of scolding Kasei, chuckled. "I see that you have not noticed that most everyone here is, in fact, ugly. Heh..."

"And now..." continued Carakam, "I give you your leader! Master.... Cobra, who shall lead you to victory!" A long drumroll started.

OOC: Now, I'm sorry guys, but I'll need a post from Master Goron, and Red Fury, before continuing...

OOC: Here I come to save the day!!!

IC: Grenada bursts down into the lower chamber, breathing hard. Placing his hands upon his knees, he leans over, trying to catch his breath. Raising his head, he looks up at all those who are now in the room, making special note of the men he had never seen before. One, a tall Hylian, now leaning against a wall idly. Many weapons are littered across the different parts of his body, for both physical and ranged combat. 'Well, he came prepared...' Dragging his eyes over to the Goriya, his eyes linger dully. The aura of the room was concentrated on him, so he must be important, but he decided that was to wait...

"Hey all. Just ran the desert... All the way... there's a lot of sand, you should check it out."

He stops and again brings his attention to the Goriya.

Raven curiously glances at the stranger that stands before him, but pays little attention to him, as he surveys the mob in front of him and can only presume that there chanting is calling for thier leader to emerge on the balcony above. Sure enough he shows himself Carakam, whoses presence is followed by a deafing roar from the crowd of creatures below. He then reliquished the balcony to make way for Cobra. He couldn't help but wonder what the person who has control over some many foul beast must look like himself, not to mention the fact he has been around for a thousand years.

OOC:

Master Goron wrote:"Hey all. Just ran the desert... All the way... there's a lot of sand, you should check it out."

Look at the map. We went in from the far East end of the Thicket, and went through a passage. We came out directly east of it. Thus, we never went through the desert. It's a hidden short-cut.

IC: All bowed towards the balcony. Carakam continued to speak. "To Our Master... the one who shall lead us to victory.... the one who will defeat the enemy... THE NEW
BEARER OF THE TRIFORCE OF POWER!! THE ONE WHO IS NOW 1071 YEARS OLD... I GIVE YOU... MASTER COBRA!!!"

Carakam King backs away. The drums hit 6 more quater notes, and then stop suddenly. And emerging from the balcony, comes a fiure. Surpisingly, though, the first ones you notice are the two Lizalfos on either side of him. But it is not until you stands at the edge of the balcony that you completely see him... and your heart seems to stop as you see him well enough...Master Cobra... is Tingle...

bft-buahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! t-tingle! your kidding me!

hahahahahahahaha! kasei rolls over on the floor, laughing his head off....

OOC: Technically, Grenada was never in that thread and hence had to run the desert.

IC: Grenada didn't know who Tingle was, but apparently Kasei did. He watched Kasei's head fall off and almost began celebrating(OOC: "Laughing his head off" j/k, I like being extra literal sometimes). All he knew was that this was a very old man, 1071 was unheard of in the Deku community. He figured this man must be some type of amazing warrior. He takes a knee.

"Master Cobra! I pledge my support to you, he who is 1071 and no doubt a very fine warrior."

The stranger looks at Kasie, and snickers. He lightly kicks Kasie, and motions for him to stop.

Just after he does this, he bows before Master Cobra, while laying down his bow.

OOC: Just to clarigy, the first bow is bowing, or knelling, that kind of bow. While the second is the weapon.

Tingle shot a look down at where Kasei was. Everyone looked at the Sheikah, and looked at each other in astonishment.

The Master yelled down, "Who dares?!" His voice is too deep for an average person. It boomed through the halls. "I have never heard of someone with such foolishness!"

"He has dared to defy Master Cobra!"

"How could someone dare to deft our master?!"

The hall suddenly was roaring with anger at Kasei. They dragged him forward, towards the balcony. "Bring me the one who has dared to defy me!" 20 or more Goryia were around Kasei, dragging him forward, but a ong flight of stairs. They kicked Kasei's ribs, all the way to the top. Finally, when he wasat the top of the balcony, Tingle bore his whip. The Goryia, Moblins, and other beast, chanted something in Inferrnal, and Kasei's beaters pinned him to the wall. After unwinding his whip, it soared, and slashed across Kasei's back. Now, as it was on Tingle's left side now, he slashed again, making the whip come to his right side. He did this for minutes. After 25 slashes, the little man told them, in Infernal, to make him face forward. He then did something with his hands, and drained Kasei's will power out of him. After that, the weak Sheikah was slugged 26 times in the face by the little man. The Triforce of Power floated behind him, giving him inhuman strength. Kasei was tough enough to not be mortally injured, but blood shot out of his face with every blow.

After the final hit, Kasei was thrown off the top of the balcony, landing back-first on the hard floor.

"Is there anyone else, who DARES to defy me?!" After saying this, he reached up to his mustach, rubbed it with his fingers slowly, and then pealed it off. It was a fake mustach! And, where it was before, were enormous, horrible, and deadly horns, like those of a bull. He also popped blue stuff out of his eyes, which you thought were his pupils, and in it's place were glowing red, pirecing eyes that made your heart beat faster.

He was not the same Tingle that was in the scriptures! That's for sure!

damn you, tingle! kasei got up, as if nothing had happened, and stared the cobra in the eyes. feh, your not worth it! but even as he says it, flames surround kasei's hands, and the floor around him is set on fire...

The stranger wispers into Kasies ear.

"Fool! Keep quiet! Or you will get yourself killed!"

OOC: Kasei, keep in mind that you're not like one of those Dragon Ball Z guys, kasei. You're a Fire Rebel. And I've drained your magic, making you useless. So... yeah... Kasei can't really 'make fire'.

IC: Tingle threw a knife at Kasei it. Hit a Daria beside him, going through it's armor and killing it. Daria would take an average person at least 10 blows with a desent sword! It was but a dull knife!

"There is a lesson to be learned here, Sheikah! Never defy a Master of an army! Do you wish to see Hyrule in flames or not, KASEI?! Yes, I know your name! Armegedon is one of our leaders! But alas! he is in the Mountain of Death at this time.

"Now, I'm sure you all know how I came to have such power, no?" He looked down at Grenada, Kasei, and Raven spesifically.
