Though the spit of land that separated the green grass of Hyrule Field and the tan sand of Gerudo Valley is dry and barren earth, it is warm and not the blazing heat that would replace it further in the sandy desert. The cliff walls that surround you as you venture further in were climbable, but your goal wasn't to ascend the cliffs. No, your goal was the long bridge that spanned the narrow canyon that was cut out of the land thousands upon thousands of years ago by the raging Zora River at the bottom of the nearly impossible to climb cliffs.

The inside end of the bridge is guarded by three Gerudos, two women and one man (who was sitting a bit off to the side on a rock with his legs crossed). All three of them wore pruple trousers made from cloth that were traded for with the Hylians. The man's vest is also made of this purple cloth. However, their purple boots were made out of leever-hide armor, as were their elbow-length fingerless gloves. The women's jerkins, which only covers their chest and breasts, were also made out of the purple leever.

The man's hair is a bright red, while the women had identical dark orange hair, held up in a high ponytail which reaches down to the small of their backs. Indeed, these two were identical twins, a well loved rarity among the Gerudo race. All three of them spotted you, and they beckoned you to cross the bridge.

Once you got there, one of the twins said, "Have you come to help us? Then come in." The other opened the gate for you. "Wait by Ullric over there; once enough have come he'll lead you to the prison's kitchen, where everything will be explained."

The second woman spoke up, and when she did, it was clear that her voice was even identical to her sister's. "I wouldn't speak to him. He doesn't have a clear grasp of Common yet."

Nier looked at the twins.
"Have you come to help us? Then come in." The other opened the gate for you. "Wait by Ullric over there; once enough have come he'll lead you to the prison's kitchen, where everything will be explained."
He replied to what they asked. "Yes, I'll help," He mumbled.

He walked into the gate and by Ullric. He then started to wait for others. This might be awhile, he thought. He reached into his pockets and stared through the gate. He then took his right hand and moved his Dark redish-black hair to the left. "So...why do you need help," He questioned.

He was wearing a dark cloak with the hood off. He had a quiver and a bow on his back. On his belt, there was a few holsters: They had a farore's wind, a boomerang, and both an ammo and bomb bag.

He then wondered off in his mind. Wonder what Kagari and Nariko are doing? Kagari is probably training to be better then me and Nariko is probably making food for him when he comes home, He thought. He also was remimbering the last fight Kagari and Nier was in...


OOC: I'm letting a Npc play instead of Kagari. I'll introduce Nier.

"Why, hello there." Kasei said as he approached the trio. For some reason, Kasei was dressed slightly differently today, his traditional open red jacket was replaced by a similar red vest with a flame motif on the front and a tree taking up much of the back. His baggy pants were tied at the bottom around a newer set of boots. Around his back was a large flat hat, otherwise he was the same Kasei.

"Help?" He repeated, when asked. "I guess that's why i'm here, sure why not." He said enthusiastically, and followed the twin's directions over to where the man named Ullric, where he saw another, unknown adventurer waiting and attempting to talk.

"Hello there." Kasei said, when he was close enough to do so. "I am Kasei D. Gobi, who are you?" He asked.

Nier wondered if the question was toward him. He looked at Kasei and said "I am Nier, nice to meet you..." He looked around the area and then back at Kasei. He noticed the red shirt and the flame-thing. Nier then got lost in thought. Fire...Flames...Burn...yeah, he thought with a weird grin on his face.He has grown a liking to fire and burning things for fun, but in a battle that is his main attribute, and element.

He then lost thought and came back to the real world. "Nice shirt," he tossed out. He lifted his right hand out of his pocket and quickly slammed it in front of him. "Nice to meet you," He said wondering if he had already said that.

Braylor stood frozen in the distance, observing the bridge. Had it not been for his big, yellow eyes, full of wonder, he would have passed for an ordinary shrub. This was where he needed to be. He came to life, running toward the bridge as fast as his stubby little Deku legs could carry him.

He came here for two reasons: training and adventure. In his short life he had been taught to be a good soldier, but he never had the chance to apply what he had learned. When he reached the end of the bridge, he was going to ask what he could do to help, but before he could, one of the twins said everything would be explained to him. He was a bit impatient, but he was satisfied to wait a little longer. He nodded, gave a salute to the Gerudos, and walked over by Ullric.

OOC: HnS, if you don't mind, and if you decide to let us use NPC's, I would like to use Orpheous, but, if you remain adamant with the different class and different race thing, I'll be willing to reconsider.

IC: A nineteen year old human traveled Hyrule Field alone. He had seen the flier in the Courtyard, but in his own mind, he subconsciously registered that he was too busy to go assist. However, he was, walking by Gerudo Valley, with nothing to do. Why was that? Oh well, he was here now.

He wore a cloak, and the hood of which was drawn over his head, shrouded his face with its shadow. A two-handed sword was vaguely tied onto with make-shift
straps. His Terminan watch on his right wrist glistened in the scorching sun. In his right hand, he gripped his Deku staff as a walking stick, and his left hand was slipped into his cloak.

Under which, he wore a faded light colored tunic, and trousers made from a semi-soft cloth that stretched down to his knees. He also wore a belt, into which was tucked a boomerang and a bomb bag. A rupee satchel rested in an inner pocket in his cloak, and a sack full of scrolls was slung over his left shoulder.

He walked over the bridge, and listened to orders of the Gerudo twins. Thealther had often spoke not only of how any given solitary Gerudo female was attractive, but how in bulk, it was quite and eyefull. Simon had to agree, remembering those words as he smiled loosely, but it was hidden by the shadow from the hood that covered his face. After remembering that shadow, he removed the hood, realizing it to be bad manners.

After they finished issuing their edict, he smiled again, although this time just to seem courteous. "Thank you," he replied, with something of a bow of humility, although he really didn't know why. He soon walked over and joined the others by Ullric, the Gerudo. The first of which, Kasei, the Rebel Flame, he knew, the other two, he did not. But he stood and waited. Kasei would recognize this scholar amongst them as Simon Grendel, apprentice of Orpheous, the word-mancing scribe.

OOC I have to use a NPC to use a bow.

Lawliet decided he would help these people besides he could get some valuable infromation. He had bags under his eyes and was barefoot to most this would seem weird but he thought it was completly normal and that these other people where weird and crazy. He approched Nier who he considered supicious because clearly somthing wasn't right about him he approched Nier and said nonchalantly say " You look like you have killed quite a few innocent people in your day." Not awaiting a response he said "my name is Lawliet." He stared blankly at Nier

"Me and my big fat mouth..."

Darkin muttered these words, quite obviously put off by everything. He carried a large cylindrical bag around his shoulders, and had multiple bottles of water strapped to belt clips on his waist. The samurai himself was taking in all of the sites of the area, having never visited Gerudo Valley before.

"Actually, it would be said: My big fat mouth, and I."

Darkin did all he could to keep himself from snapping. "Really? You're teaching the Scholar how to speak properly?! Why did I ever bother reading that sign?..."

Dogura stared at the sky above, and couldn't help but marvel at the blue. He'd missed these skies in the time he'd spent in hell. The heated air here was nothing compared to the heat below the Goddesses vision.

"Well that, my good Darkin, is because your big fat eyes in your big fat head can't seem to turn away from anything readable. Now toss me a water bottle will you?"

The Rito decided to say nothing more, and unlatched a bottle of water, and tossed it to his friend. Dogura caught the bottle, and uncorked it. After a few gulps, he spied the bridge not one hundred yards in front of them. It would seem as though they themselves had been noticed as well. Three Gerudo guards beckoned them forth, and the duo proceeded across the bridge.
"Have you come to help us?"
Dogura nodded, and Darkin chimed in behind him. "We couldn't help but notice your 'Help Wanted' poster, so we thought we'd drop by to get used to the whole adventuring thing again..." Dogura elbowed him in the ribs, and telepathically reminded him to show respect. "We're here to help out the cause." He reiterated, placing his hands on his hips.
"Then come in. Wait by Ullric over there; once enough have come he'll lead you to the prison's kitchen, where everything will be explained."
Darkin immediately started ahead, probably looking for any possible source of escape from the heat. The vagabond followed behind him, taking another gulp from the water bottle before corking it, and returning it to his feathered companion. "This might be the kind of adventure I've needed." Darkin rolled his eyes. "Sure, but why'd you have to drag me into this?" He asked in a whiny voice. Dogura spit, and smiled. "I told you that you could go home- you just didn't want to be alone if more of you-know-who's minions show up." Darkin furrowed his brow. "You don't have to make me sound like such a big..." He paused as if instantly regretting the sentence he'd started.

The samurai chuckled under his breath. "Chicken?" He finished the Rito's sentence, and took his place next to Ullric.

"Why thank you, and again, greetings." The Rebel Flame said, as he took Nier's hand for a moment to shake in hello. He then stood next to said adventurer and Ullric as others arrived.

The first to do so was yet another person Kasei had never seen before, so he just smiled a bit and gave a quick greeting to him.

The second, however, was a far more familiar face, the Inkweaving Orpheous' apprentice, Simon Grendel. "Ah, hello Simon!" Kasei said in greeting. "Naturally a familiar face was bound to appear. How is your master?" He asked enthusiastically. As he became re-acquainted, a fourth face, again unfamiliar appeared, and Kasei greeted him.

It was around then that two more individuals came to Kasei's attention. The first was a Rito that he hardly recognized, but he was familiar enough with the bird-man to point him out as Darkin. The other, however, was a face Kasei had not seen in eternity..."Dogura!?" He demanded, astonished. The Rebel Flame was not expecting to ever see the samurai again. "Why hello! And, what brings you from the dead?" He requested, back to his usual serious tone and face. He wasn't one to trust Dogura, who he knew to be a friend of a certain Keyru...

OOC: Also on the list of trustworthiness are faces such as Alpha himself, Hiro, Blank, and Saber (Post War) Trust me when I say I have a storyline reason for this. ;)

The twins looked back at the group that have gathered so far. It was beginning to look like a decently sized group. Yes, they would do. However, none would disagree with the fact that the more adventurers they had in the group, the better.

"Should I take them back?" Ullric asked in his native tongue.

"No, we'll see if others come," one of the twins said. "Wait just a bit longer." Both of them turned their attention back to the other side of the canyon, keeping an eye out for those daring enough to lend their help.

OOC: It looks like we're going to have enough people for this dungeon, so we shouldn't need NPCs.

As for the second order of business before sign-ups close, please PM me your stats so I don't have to go digging through your profiles. I know I probably have some of your's already, but I'd like to double check everything.

Eberron stood pondering for a moment what he had just been asked. Well... He liked helping people... And they said he could help them... Well, he wasn't one to refuse so kind an offer. He thought. Deciding that if he stood there thinking any longer, Eberron straightened the large wooden hat resting precariously on his head and grinned widely at the two gerudu's who had spoken to him.

"Of course I'll help... And I'll try to resist talking to him."

Walking up, Eberron was pleasantly surprised to see a fairly large gathering of adventurers. Shifting the weight of his large heavy bag further up his back, Eberron made his slow wandering way towards them. He still didn't know a lot of the people here... if he knew any at all. Eberron scratched his head in a particularly confused manner, his face scrunched up as he attempted to recollect any past encounters. But he was still groggy after waking. Deciding that this was his punishment for letting himself sleep in under the stars, Eberron placed his bag carefully on the ground and pulled out a particularly substantial rock, chewing carefully at the corner's.

"Hi!"

Eberron waved cheerfully between mouthfuls as he addressed whoever's attention he could gather.

"All here for the helping, the travelling and the kitchen?"

Kamiko was running though the field during her usual exercises when she noticed a small group out in the open. Only one of them looked familiar from afar so she went closer and sure enough it was Kasei that she seen.

Well seeing as she was in eye sight already and also noticed, she went up and asked; "what's going on? Is there anything I can help out with?" and waited for anyone to answer.

Lawliet approched the newcomer "I am Lawliet. You may call me L or Law if you so wish and to tell you the truth all I know is that these peope are in trouble. So by my morals I have to help and I shall make you too."

"I think 'make you'..."

Began Eberron, looking directly at the one who had introduced himself as Lawliet. His large wooden hat shading the top of his head from the sun glistened slightly with the moisture of the air, and the eyes that gazed out from beneath the rim were set in an unusually stern face, like black stones lodged in the side of an ominous mountain.

"Is rather a strong phrase to use. Every man and woman is free to help or not help as they will, and since you speak of morals I should let you know that when it comes to MY morals I do not approve of such threatening and forceful language."

As if changing with the wind, Eberron's entire body language and facial experession changed in an instant; his eyes sparkling, his mouth widening to a large grin.

"But we shouldn't start off on the wrong foot! How are you, I am Eberron Mr... Lawliet was it? I'm sure it was simply a silly misunderstanding."

Holding out his hand to Lawliet, he turned his head to latest arrival at the site.

"Not to ignore you of course, hopefully we can also be friends."

In a moment of ignorance, Eberron pulled his hand back, barely giving any time for a hand shake. Nodding in what appeared to be his best attempted at a sagely look, Eberron came across as mildly comical as he continued.

"And as for what's going on, as Lawliet said, you probably know as much as we do. If not more!"

Eberron suddenly eyed her suspiciously, as if by looking he could somehow tell how much she knew. Seemingly satisified by the results of his odd behaviour, Eberron grinned once more and reached into his enormous bag, pulling out a number of rocks.

"Myself I'm just here to help, to wander and due to the mention of a kitchen. Rock? Although no one seems to like them when I offer... Unless they are a goron themselves, of course."

Eberron smiled thoughtfully and sat down as he chewed carefully on the edges of the small boulder in his hand, once again lost in thought.

"Well I guess I did come out quite strong and foceful. I offer my sincere apologies miss actually I never got your name. Oh yes and before I forget I usually don't do this I mean be so forceful. Mabye it's because i'm usually around one or two people.He said to Kamiko. "Also Ebberon you can just call me L or Law."
