A crew of Acolyte scouts, lead by a former merchant, Salais Brask travel the stone road in a line of five. With Brask, the only Hylian, are two humans and two Gorons Wyndisis had given then the assignment of finding a particular Goron. The Goron in question is a three foot tall stump of a fellow. His name is Shiva. That brought them here, and will send them to Ruto Town, and all over Hyrule for that matter, simply to find this Shiva.

It was the stupidist task they could have, as far as Salais was concerned. His assumptions told him that the others thought the same way about it, but he would not speak, or show any signs that would convey his inner thoughts. This painted a smug frown across his brown, bearded face. He couldn't risk anyone knowing his thoughts of Wyndisis' inadequacies. That could mean trouble.

They did what they could, looked, without much success. They would have to keep asking before they ran into Shiva himself. All of them felt that they had better things to do than go on a scavanger hunt for Shiva. It is to there understanding, however, that Shiva is a very important Goron.

OOC: VIGOROUS: Very Important Goron Offering Resurection of Ugly Stallions

That is the coolest acronym I ever made.

A zora clad in black robes walks toward the band of acolytes, the tails of his robes dragging across the blackened path. His face, hidden beneath the shadows of the hood of his cloak hide a malicious grin as he stands adjacent to the leader, clearly blocking there path.

"I am guessing that you are in searching for the goron. The master has sent me to aid you."

Julian's voice comes out in a raspy tone, his voice dry and void of any emotion

"From the looks on your faces I can see that you've found nothing, pitiful.

'This is stupid. The last thing I want is to associate myself to such low lives as these warriors. If only I fought those zoras. No matter. A slight detour is all. I shall meet again with Wynidisis, that's all that matters except for...'

Victor strides over to the group as well, smiling as usual. Hearing Julian, he realized who these people were:

"A special Goron? Oh, you mean that Shiva guy? Yeah, I'm looking for him as well."

Victor turned to the Hylian, hoping to find a friend in a fellow countryman.

"If you need any help, I'm available..."

Alpha grinds his teeth in annoyance as he listens to the others from above them. Cloaked by the leaves on the trees as well as by Shadowmeld, he silently watches the group as both Julian and Victor approach them. 'Great...even more competition. In order to get information on Wyndisis, I need to find Shiva first! With all these guys running around looking for him too, this'll just keep getting tougher and tougher, until someone finds the Goron...probably someone other than myself. I need some way to distract everyone else, to lead them onto a path of falsehood...' Alpha sits back against the tree branch as his mind slowly begins to go through multiple ideas as to how this could be accomplished...

After going out of some weird tree trunk Alex realised that he was no longer in the thicket.Wandering around the forest he could hear familiar voices, those that he heard back at the dessert, it was that Zora and the Hylia, but also Victor.
They were talking again about that Shiva guy
I shall not show myself 'til it's the proper time, I don't trust that Hylia very much"
And with that, Alex kept looking at the scene from behind the tree...

Julian's head turns to Victor, still hidden beneath his hood, like a moving shadow.

"This is not your place, Victor. I suggest you move. You might just live a happy life if you just leave now." the zora says, his whisper, dark and ominous shines a quick smile, one that doesn't sign any good emotions. His head turns again to the trees this time as they cast shadows. His ears must have caught something over head, another quick grin to the empty forest and he looks back at the leader of the group.

"Tell me. What clues have you found, if any... Tell me!"

Victor looked at Julian, a slight scowl playing on his lips.

"I'm perfectly capable of helping, and I'm perfectly willing to. If you have a problem with my being here, then tough."

Then, turning to the group, he said:

"Though I must agree; we will need any clues you can offer if we are to help..."

Brask smiles and shakes his head. "Relax, guys, this ain't life and death. We're not searching for any criminal. So far we have heard or seen nothing of him. You could do us a big favor by going to Ruto and asking if anyone seen him."

Alpha smiles grimly. 'Ruto, huh? Guess that's my next stop.' He waits for a small breeze to begin blowing through the trees before leaving, which masks his departure.

"Bard, I wish you good luck on finding the goron." Julian says with a quick grin.

'You'll need it if you plan to find him before I do.' the zora thinks to himself as he swiftly turns around on the group, his robes swaying in the breeze and a as he walks into the darkness of the forest.

' Lead the way...Alpha. Wait, why would the acolytes be so keen to reveal the information on where this Shiva might be. A wild goose chase perhaps. No, they've chose the wrong person to decieve I will take the to the South while Alpha and that bard find themselves goronless. Yes...

From the depths pf the forest, a loud laugh escapes into the air.'

"Ruto Town. Ok then, off to the highlands!"

Victor turned on his heels to leave, but just then he heard Julian's statement. Facing the Zora again, he had a smile on his face.

"Why thank you, Julian! And good luck to you, too!"

Then, in his usually long strides, Victor walked at brisk pace towards the mountains...

Alex kept watching now from the top of a tree as he watched Victor ,Arco and Julian heading for the desert
"I don't think the acolytes wanted to give away the information that easily;I'll be following them closely"
As he moved a little, a branch fell from the tree...
Alex stayed quiet, hoping that they haven't hear him

Denning sits in the trees, as he sees the comotion, he says quite quietly, a voicec only a trained ear could hear.
"I need to find him first, I need to see if Wyndis knows anything sbout Deoxolips, or Marins current location. Well then, ,I am off to Ruto!"
The cleric skips through the tress to the north, ,as he exits, the sun reflects his white cloak.
