The spring breeze whistled through a certain young man’s hair as he strolled down the streets, his hands dug in deeply in his pockets. There was a uniform air of matching about him, almost too noticeable to be comfortable. His hair was the same exact shade as his long, jaggedly cut hair – a blackened purple. He had a serene expression lingering about his face, as if he had just waken from a wonderful nap, and he had a million thoughts buzzing through his head.

He stopped suddenly, and bent down, as if he had to tie his shoes. He sighed, and unbent himself, nodding in approval. He muttered,

“Good. No speck of dirt visible.”

His long fingers pinched his black, shiny jacket, the satisfied look still on his face. He continued his stroll, going about in circles. He began to chant in a strange language, the dreamy expression coming back once again.

Ooc: just so you know, I’m Sakiko’s bro.

Deep spring.

A bird flew by, chirping happily in the subtle warmth of the new season's air. It was North Castle, and everyone around was happy with the way the weather turned out. Though not many stands were open today, a large number of people still seemed to roam the streets, in spite of the fact that Hyrule was head-deep in war with the dark.

Kasei, having learned his leason regarding tanning, did not stand on a roof this time around, but was in the streets, eating away at an ice cream. A familiar face like his was well-known in the crowd, as were most adventurers. And it was rare that he came across someone he had not met before.

He found someone just like that.

As The Rebel Flame approached a new boy, and extended his hand. "Hi, i'm Kasei, who'r you?" The older-than-he-looks man asked.

OOC: HI! Welcome, brother of Sakiko! You can help me remember who she is now!

We seem to be getting new players left and right. Maybe that deku was right, this could turn into an MMORPG!!!

Cathy looked closely at the boy from far away. She had her arms crossed and she was leaning against a building. It was a normal position for her. She had her normal "leave me alone or you'll get killed look" on her face. The tall zora stood up straight and walked over to the boy.

"Hey," she muttered.

OoC: Hi! Nice to meet you!

The sun shining on his face and breeze having a little fun with his hair, Lyos lazily strolled around and around the courtyard common, breathing in the pleasant aroma of a wonderful spring day as his fingers drummed his pockets' lining to the beat of the local rhythm. Hurin was off with Seth, surely causing no small amount of mischief, but for now Lyos was content to absorb the atmosphere.

But this wonderful day was different; something in the ripples of the air currents, or the reverberating sound waves, either way it seemed that the town’s signature beat frequency was not as it normally was. His eyes snapped open, and for the first time since he’d been wandering the castle streets he realized he had been walking around blind again. Not too uncommon, yet nonetheless startling with the initial burst of dazzling light striking the retinas.

Through squinted eyes he saw standing not fifteen feet ahead the cause of the perturbation, a man with the hair the color of grape-flavored raven feathers, chanting in some foreign tongue and muttering some unknown profession.

As was expected, his friend, Kasei, was the first to greet the new comer, followed closely by a woman who for some reason or another seemed familiar, though he couldn’t place a name with the face.

Curious of what additions this man came to offer to their symphony at North Castle and also anxious to bridge the looming gap between friend and stranger, the crunch of gravel grew increasingly prominent against the din of castle life as Lyos approached the group of adventurers.

It has been some has it not, Kasei, since last our paths crossed? You’ve been well I presume?

Dust creates small puffs as Xeon's feet stopped abruptly. He looked almost bemused at being interrupted by the newcomers - ironically, as he was a newcomer overall - but he made no visible show of it. Smiling lightly, he ran his bony, long fingers through his hair.

"Hello. Who am I? A scholar who came to Hyrule to study the magic of death, under a mission to find my long lost father."

Locking his fingers together, he gave another, sharp, nearly sarcastic, grin.

"In simpler terms, I am Xeon, necromancer under training."

He looked uncomfortable for a second, but his facial expression remained smooth and cool as marble.

"I would shake hands, but I'm afraid to... get anything impure on my hands. Nothing of an offensive nature, I hope?"

Xeon's lips pulled upwards uncertainly, and picked at his jacket again.

"And who might you be? As in, not your name, of course. But who."

"I would think that one who deals with death would not be such an obsessivly clean-freak." a voice from behind everyone said, sounding cheerful and calm even in time of war. "I bet that most around here wouldn't even think that I would show my face around here after Rauru...don't you agree Kasei?" Sovelis spoke arogantly as he stood behind the Rebel Flame. he walked over to Cathy and smiled at the Zora girl warmly. "This is only a doppleganger though. So killing me here would only be a waste of time today."

The false Tempest looked back at the one who had called himself a necromancer-in-training and held out his mechanical hand. "I am Sovelis Magelion Li'ano Liadon. The Last Tempest and a traitor to the Royal Family of Hyrule. I am well versed in many kinds of magic... but necromancy is one that I have only dabbled in once before." he told Xeon, his youthful face belaying his true intentions.

Cathy gazed at Sovelis for a moment and smiled slyly. "That's too bad. I was planning on killing you when I felt like it, and that's the day." Cathy scuffed her foot on the ground. "That sucks."

The zora girl turned her attention to Xeon. She grinned, showing off all her sharp teeth. "I'm a zora, a person from the ocean, but with a temper that should makes a volcano jealous." She reached forward and tapped his chest. "So, I suggest that you don't make me mad."

"Even so," kasei said, one of his knives in Sovelis' throat, "You can still spy on us, and that's not something we want now, is it?" The Rebel Flame said kindly.

"Lyos, it is indeed good to see you in good health, it has been many months, my freind." Kasei says, as Cathy makes a few threats at the newcommer. "Hey, now," Kasei said softly, in fear of incurring the zora's wrath, "he just got here, don't go scaring him." The shiekah finished, motioning towards the newcommer.

A flash of irritation fleeted across Xeon's face, but was soon gone. He grimaced as the zora girl tapped his chest with her finger, backing away half a step. Xeon really could not care less of anger, but he said suavely,

"Of course. It was never my intention to create any animosity between us."

He smiled widey at Kasei, and shrugged,

"No need to fear, my friend. I cannot be afraid of such a genteel looking lady."

He said this in such an ironic tone, that it was hard to figure if it was sarcastic or if he really meant it. Xeon smiled at Sovelis, politely declining the handshake. He pinched his jacket - the chest area - and rubbed his fingers together nervously.

"I hope you don't mind. But you see, I never really touch the corpse when I bring it to life."

He looked unalarmed as Kasei brought his knife toward Sovelis's throat. Despite such gravity, his tone was light as if he was discussing the weather,

"Well. What war? Did I come at a bad time?"

"Bah! If I was here to spy, don't you think that I would have avoided you? There could always be about a few dozen or more of me around town anyways. Go ahead, slit my throat. Won't bother me any if I die. I'm not the real one anyways, Kasei." he said, smiling and looking around at everyone calmly.

"I understand why you don't touch the dead body... such a filthy thing. Blood and guts and who knows what kind of dieseases...." Sovelis told Xeon. "Perhaps I could meet you again someday to discuss the theory and practice of Necromancy?" and with that, the Sovelis before them all disintergrated into a pile of sandy soil .

"Yes,a war has begun.We're currently battling the Dark Amy,on Ganon's side.The battle's at Rauru Town.I believe Kasei over there's general.You should probaly speak to him to collect information,"Dmetri stated.

" 'Cannot be afraid'," Cathy mumbled. She scuffed her foot a bit and glared at Xeon. She turned around and walked away. A "Just be lucky I'm in a good mood today, and don't feel like hurting newbies" could be heard slightly.

Xeon smiled slightly, but his eyes were narrowed. He rubbed his sharp chin with his long fingers, as if he did it long enough, his thoughts would be all nice and organized. The necromancer ran his hand through his slightly parted hair, and said in a flat tone,

“I see. Then I came at a wonderful time.”

He looked slightly disturbed at the pile of ashes in front of him. He didn’t know people here could just disintegrate into a pile of ash, if they just felt like dying. He raised his eyebrows at it, and pointed,
“What was that?”

"It was some retarded tempest who was a doppleganger,or copy,who decided it was time to die.Tempests have strange powers,"said Dmetri,answering Xeon's question,"He's the last tempest;you can't just become one to beat him in a duel.

Orca,however,easily defeated him and so did Kasei,the red flame.Many duels take place here,that's the purpse of bomb shops,weapons,and armour.You must be prepared for everything,"declared the Deku.
