[i][color=808080]Castle Town, A Secret Under the Well[/color][/i][/center]

Roa had sheepishly followed the rest of what were clearly Queen Zelda's rescuers. She was glad Telma hadn't responded to her putting her fin in her mouth, mistaking the rotund Goron out of every one assembled for Telma. There were admittedly more important concerns at the moment, like climbing down a wet rope into a pitch-dark well. She was the second-to-last down the rope, and she couldn't help but nervously wave at the Goron. Was he really going to [i]jump[/i] down the well?

As she reached the bottom of the rope, Roa winced. The air in the tunnel wasn't as cold as the rain above, but it reeked of mildew and standing water, and she could hardly keep herself from coughing in response. She was almost tempted to attempt to swim in the shallow water, but thought it best to avoid waters filled with whatever the people above leave on their streets. For a moment her demeanor slipped, [color=00aeef]"I almost miss the rain. This place is... horrible."[/color] Roa smiled apologetically to the rest of the group. [color=00aeef]"Sorry."[/color] No one had even been listening. She felt like a fool, being concerned with appearances now, of all times.

Being lead through the dark was unsettling to say the least. Outside the heated glow of the Knight's sword was a mix of dimly reflected light, or pitch-black. In her home, such dark was inhabited by all manor of dangerous beasts. Eels came to mind, and she wished they didn't. She was in a foreign land, and there would assuredly be no eels in a place like this. Regardless, she kept ready to use her magic, should something lash out.

While not as terrifying as a giant Zora-eating Eel, a swordsman standing over a slumped-over guard wasn't much better. Her duty was clear to her, and she would not falter in the face of danger. Her voice steady, though not as commanding as she would hope, Roa spoke. [color=00aeef]"If what you say is true, step back and keep your hands where they can be seen. Know that if you raise a hand against me, you do so to a Priestess of the Goddesses."[/color] As she passed the Knight wielding her flaming sword, her voice dropped to a whisper. [color=00aeef]"[i]If I can get to the guardsman, I may be able to save him. Just keep the swordsman back. Please.[/i]"[/color]
