The Legend of Zelda: War to End Them All

I'm in the same boat as IceHeart... I try not to hog the spotlight and this happens...

The Legend of Zelda: War to End Them All

Rikshath's attention was quickly brought to the man with the sword as he spoke at him. "I believe we meet before Sage Rikshath, you had me collect resources for your work a year or so ago, I'm Bris Lux, in case you forgot." Ah, yes... now Rik remembered. "Mm. Yes, I remember you quite well. Those books came rather in handy for my work, indeed. Of course, I've heard that you've continued to excel at your jobs." Rik indeed had remembered the man once he saw his face. From the back, he could've been anyone. However, the Sheikah was rather pleased that his perfect memory had been as reliable as ever.

However, it was soon after that the mercenary surprised everyone in the room by showing that he was the Hero of Time reborn. If the glowing Triforce of Courage was not enough proof, then his ability to wield the Master Sword was more than enough. The man held it as if it was his to wield, which indeed it was. It was shortly after Bris picked up the Master Sword and returned that he was bombarded with questions by the Princess. Rik sighed.

"Princess, perhaps it'd be best to ask only one question at a time, mm? After all, the man might scarce have even understood half of them, let alone answer them all." Rik said to the Princess, before resuming his studying of everyone in the room. He turned to the Spirit. "Would it be safe to assume you're the spirit that lives inside the Master Sword? I can scarce think of any other reason why you'd know so much. If so, perhaps you can inform those of us without Triforce pieces what our roles are, mm?" Rik asked, studying the spirit closely, almost seeming to see into her soul.

I'm alive. Been waiting for someone else to post, because I'm hyper-active here.

The Legend of Zelda: War to End Them All

I hope I didn't get god-moddy (if that's even a word) or anything with my post. If so, I can do some slight edits. Otherwise, Rik's at the Temple. We just need the Princess there.

Rikshath watched with amusement as his plan continued to go off without a hitch. "would you please escort me back home. I am sure one member of the ever vigilant Sheikah will be more than enough for this purpose." Rik nodded at this. He saw that the guards were not happy with it, but ended up bowing to the princess' wishes anyway. 'Mm. Sheesh. They really are spineless... no wonder they're really only here for appearances.' Rik noted as the princess turned to him.

Even though, Rikshath had suspected that the princess was longing for some excitement and adventure, he had to hid his surprise as her face took on a new look, eyes twinkling with excitement. "Shall we depart?" Rik nodded, grabbing a hold of Stella's shoulder with his hand. "Mm. You may feel a slight feeling of being squeezed through a tube, especially if you've never teleported before. However, it'll pass, as will any possible queasiness. I can't take us straight to the Temple, but I can get us out of sight from the festivities." Rik said to her, before concentrating on his magic again.

Farore's Wind!

The two found themselves outside the festivities, in the empty streets. Rik took the time to compose a quick message. 'The princess and I are on our way.' Rik projected the thought to the Temple of Time, before turning to Stella. "Mm. There. The presence in the Temple knows we're on our way. We'd best not keep them waiting." he said, before walking alongside the Princess to the Temple, keeping an eye out for anyone who might spot them. Fortunately, it seemed the streets were empty, and Rik soon saw the Temple standing before them in all its splendor. Rik held the door open for the Princess, before entering himself.

Inside, he saw a Lizalfos, and two others, as well as a girl with a seemingly ethereal aura. Rik nodded to the girl. "Mm. Sorry to keep you waiting, but the Princess had an important parade and a speech to give. However, we are here." Rik said, examining each of the figures in the room.

Super-duper ultra plan of sneakiness has been set in motion.

As the speech started, Rikshath listened, impressed with how the speech seemed personal, though he could tell with certain inflections that it was surely rehearsed as well. No matter, it was a lovely speech anyway. However, midway though the speech, Rikshath felt the tugging on his mind again. 'You are near the Princess yes? Do the land a favor, help her get away if the need arises. Ah and, if you want to talk back to me, just project your thoughts towards the Temple of Time. I'll be able to hear them.' As the Sage listened, he composed a message of his own for the mysterious entity.

'Mm. Yes, I am indeed near the Princess. As for getting her away... well, the parade and her speech are near the end. I'm sure that I'll be able to find a way to get her away from here realtively unnoticed. Ah, in fact, I think the timing's just about right. I'll contact you when we are heading that way.' Rik cut off the telepathic there, as the festivities had gotten rowdy. Even some of the soldiers had joined in. Rik focused on his vast magic reserves, picking his spell wisely. After all, success or failure at this point depended on which spell he chose to use.

Farore's Wind!

Rik then warped right to where the Princess was, appearing in the shadows and staying unnoticed by the guards. "Princess, I can escort you to the Temple of Time if you wish. I'm sure you can convince someone you need to head back to your room or something. From there, I'll get us to the Temple. It'll only take a couple of warping spells for us to get there as quickly as possible. Quickly, time is of the essence."

As he told her this, he projected his thoughts toward the Temple of Time, to the mysterious voice emenating from that spot. 'Mm. I'm getting ready to enact a plan that won't panic the people about a kidnapped Princess, as that'd only slow us down. Perhaps we can pull it off like she's gone to bed for the night. However, I can't say how long it will be before we get there.'

Rik glanced around as he waited for the reply from the Princess. The guards that were "nearby" were seemingly gravitating more an dmore toward the festivities, though the only thing he suspected that held them back was their duty to guard the Princess. Rik then got an idea. A risky one, but one that would pay off it it worked. "Fellas, why don't you go on down and join the fun, mm? As you can see, I'm a Sheikah, and certainly not likely to harm the Princess at any point." One of the guards hesitated.

"How can we be sure you are who you say you are?" he asked. Rik nodded. "Mm. Your skepticism is certainly welcomed and understandable. Fine, a demonstration from the Sheikah sage Riksath." With that, Rikshath focused on his magic, before launching a series of fireballs into the air, which exploded like fireworks into all sorts of different colors, causing the crowd to cheer clap before partying some more. Rik turned back to the guards. "Mm. Proof enough?" he asked. The guards nodded before moving off. Rik then turned to the Princess. "Mm. Very well. Now, let's find some sort of exit under the pretense of you being tired, shall we? After all, the Temple of Time awaits for both of us."

So, we're waiting for either @IceHeart or @Eleventhfret to post, then.

The Legend of Zelda: War to End Them All

Gonna give the others a chance to post, unless @IceHeart makes a post. Just so you know, though, Rik'll be thinking of a possible distraction, perhaps a shadow show or something that'll allow Stella to slip out unnoticed. Then he'll head out himself.

Looks neat. Count me in!
