[color=teal]"I... I don't think so? It's complicated. Like, it's not like I can bleed or anything to be like, 'Oh hey Lev, you should stop letting that thing do that thing to you'. I don't even know if I can take lasting harm. Best I figure, something can hurt me enough to break the bonds of my physical form, and whatever binds me together eventually puts the pieces back in place and I can come back. Happened to me once before... I don't think I cared for that particular sensation."[/color] he said, rubbing the back of his head, suddenly feeling awkward. Apparently having someone to talk to for the first time in ages made you spill your life story. He cheered up a bit at her apology, finding it something ridiculous for her to fret over. [color=teal]"Look, I don't think any of us are in our element here. I know I basically look like this place is my summer home, but this place even creeps [I]me[/I] out. Last thing I was expecting was flying rodents. It just so happens I'm particularly good at dealing for this kinda situation. I'm sure we'll run into a situation where you'll be the best suited for it! Maybe we'll run into a big, scary fish you can wrangle. Don't worry; I'll make sure you look good in the end."[/color] he said, gesturing to the tackle box before plucking out his notebook, scribbling some notation. [I]The Great Fairy had bestowed upon the travelers a great responsibility, for they would all be tasked with rising to Hyrule's need in this most dire hour with the absence of the Hero who had vanished when the world needed him most. The travelers found steel in their hearts after watching the Sheikah receive their blessing from Farore, and each in turn received the blessing to bestow upon them aspects of Courage, Wisdom, and Power in equal measure; they would need every ounce of it for the perilous journey ahead. ... Deep into the maw of the Shadow Temple lay a precious artifacts that Farore had left in the care of the Sheikah Tribe for when the Royal Family needed salvation, and it would be their responsibility to fetch it, but the paths were many and winding; there was no choice but to separate the travelers down each separate paths according to the blessing they received from Farore. Down the left path went the bearers of Power, the essence of Din, and with great confidence they plunged into the darkness, knowing they had the strength to overcome any obstacle. The travelers Jaege, a humble Ordon rancher who found his adopted daughter Veitaru floating down a river when he was grazing his herd of goats, carried within him the strength of a great warrior from his decades of service as a Royal Guardsman, skills he would pass on to Veitaru in time... although the time he thought he had had quickly arrived with the Goddess' mission. Noi, a Goron who had suffered greatly at the hands of Wizrobes had had crude metal plating bolted to his body as he was tortured to the point of muteness in an effort to create a weapon so devious it could breach any fortification's walls. They had succeeded in that; Noi's strength was unparalleled by any in Hyrule, including others of his kin and the mighty Darknuts of the Western mountains. What they had not anticipated was Noi's resolve; he broke free of their ensnaring curse and broke his way out of their dungeons, freeing himself in time for Farore to find him. In his journey, he would find salvation from the darkness that had ensnared him. And finally, there was humble Felicia, and orphan girl who raised her younger sister alone, keeping them fed through little more than a fishing line and a hope for a better future for both of them. Not a warrior like Jaege or Noi, or even young Veitaru, Felicia nevertheless answered the call, knowing that if she did not have the strength to act now, there would not be a tomorrow for her sister, so selflessly she pressed forward, knowing she may never see her again. As the travelers of Power traversed the crypt-like halls of the Shadow Temple, they knew something was watching them with malicious intent and hunger. When they were their most vulnerable, ghouls most foul, the damned souls trapped forever in the halls of the Shadow Temple as ReDead descended upon them, intend to dine upon the flesh of the living that dared trespass in their domain. Noi and Jaege struggled valiantly, crushing them with hammer and greatsword alike, tearing their putrid bodies asunder, but still they came. When things looked their most dire, it was Felicia who knew what had to be done; bravely tuning out the ghouls around her in prayer, she called upon Din's strength to deliver them from evil so they could complete their quest, knowing that the real battle was still to be had. Suddenly, from her clutched fists emerged a great wall of flame, engulfing the tunnels and the ReDead within, but leaving the travelers untouched. Soon the way was clear, and the travelers pressed on, knowing that more dark things awaited ahead...[/I]
