Legend of Zelda: Congregation of Shadows (the RP)

[Shadowmaster]

Lyon unsheathed his sword. "I'm in as well." he said.

[Gee-chan]

OOC: Ok guys, the battle is starting now. Draw your weapons and prepare for anything.

Hylian
The troops gathered into their formations and awaited the signal to advance. At the head of the formation was a young, sandy haired man clad in a distinctive green tunic and a long hat of the same shade. In his right hand was a shield polished to to reflect the light like a mirror and in his left was a spectacularly crafted long-sword with a dark blue hilt. His steed was a magnificent chestnut stallion with whome he moves as one. His blue eyes shone in the sun with anticipation however behind them was a great sadness, barely discernible even by the most keen observer.
Silence filed the ranks as the man held up his sword, the tip catching the sun like a beacon. He held it there for about 10 seconds before pointing it forwards and kicking his horse into a standing gallop and leading the tide of armour, flesh and weaponry towards the Gerudo encampment.
It was not long before a rain of arrows decended on the force from the encampment.
Garath ran forwards, Lyon and Allen beside him. He had only one of his two swords drawn, his left arm currently held a buckler which he used to fend off the rain of arrows.

Gerudo
Landara watched as the Hylian battle formation. Beside her stood Merk, the young king-by-default of the Gerudo.

"Here they come!" she yelled to her sisters. She raised her bow and took aim, Merk conjured a javelin and readied his arm.

"Thats a useful skill you have there" noted Landara, "Think you can do anything to make my arrows better?"

"I can try" answered Merk. As king he had been trained in some magic but still needed practice. His limit was summoning a few weapons which would only last a short while, he had also had a bit of practice with low-level enchantments. He took hold of Landara's quiver and closed his eyes in concentration. Slowly the arrows began to glow, when Merk opened his eyes the glow faded. "They should fly better now"

"Thanks" said Landara, letting lose the first in a rain of arrows that rose from the camp towards the approacing army. Despite this however the army's approach did not slow. The first to reach the ruins was the mounted leader of the force. As he reached the walls he stood up on his horse and leaped forwards an impressive distance, sword drawn and ready for anyone who stood in his way.

Twili
"What was that?" asked Naarsa. He was sure he had heard something, somethign he didn't like. However looking around there was not anything out of place. "Guess it must be this place" he muttered, "So many people in one place is messing with my head."

[Kyoniimura]

"Ready for this boys?" Levay shouted out - the usual sign of madness and bloodlust in his eyes.
"He's crazy..." he heard one person whisper. Levay - at an unbelievable speed - flicked a knife at the person, missing their head narrowly.
"What was that?" He said in a intimidating hiss.

[Sasha]

Mabala nods to her sisters ad when they pass under their hiding spot as soon as she lands she unleashes her tornado slash taking out many of the solders in front of her and catapults off the head off a hear by one and kicks the leader off his horse and jumps off his back and lands in front of him with her sword still dripping with the blood of those she killed While her sister are jumping the others from behind and attack them before they know what is happening. Mabala looks at the leader and holds her sword out at ready. " Trespassing on our lands eh? Not a smart move. Now I have to kill you."

[Gee-chan]

The general leapt to his feet and looked at his opponent, his sword drawn. Suddenly he laughed (It was not a pleasant sound, fearful enough to deter all but the bravest of souls.) and lunged forwards with his sheild quickly followed by a downwards slice.

Hylian
Garath spotted one of the Gerudo archers as others appeared from behind the ruins. Throwing his buckler he knocked the bow out of an archer's hand and drew his other sword, advancing on a Gerudo brandishing a voulge.

Gerudo
Landara fired arrow after arrow into the sea of men but despite her best efforts did not seem to make any difference. Beside her Merk was furiously conjuring and throwing javelins but was tiring rapidly.

"Merk" cried Landara, "If you keep up like this you'll wear yourself out too fast! Go down and use your sword, I'll cover you."

Merk nodded and drew his sword, leaping down into the fray, cutting a swath through the hylian ranks.

[Sasha]

Mabala grins and easily blocks his sword attack with hers and kicks him in the stomach pushing him away. " It will take more then that little toy to hurt me boy."

Twili:

Asylintha shudders a bit and rubs a mark on her arm that she has had since she was born. " I have a feeling someone close to me is in trouble but I don't know who."

[Gee-chan]

The general took a step back but looked otherwise unphased.

"so" he said, "Looks like you may provide some fun after all"

He made a leaping attack that Mabala dodged easily, however then he made a swift slash that caught her on the leg

Twili
"Maybe you have a twin out there somewhere..." Naarsa suggested, not knowing how accurate his statement was.

[Sasha]

She grins a bit as she is cut and uses his distraction on her leg to cut his back and jumps off of him and lands on his horse a bit and blocks out the pain. " Such a fine horse but its tainted by you and your kind so to bad we can't keep it after i deal with you." she brings her sword down on the horse ending its life and lands on the ground by it. " so care to continue?"

[Gee-chan]

"You think I care for such an animal?" asked the general, "You think too lowly of me." He held sword in the air then swung it down at the ground. As it hit the floow there was a flash and a wave of energy shot towards Mabala.

[Sasha]

Mabala grins. " You think only you can do that?" Her sword glows a bit and she slashes as well her energy attack meeting his and both taking the other attack out. " If you where true hero like the one in legends you would have cared for it but i guess your not. Only man that we ever respected besides our new king. The old one had a stick shoved so far up his butt no one liked him." She smirks a bit seeing he is being a bit clumsy with each insult or counter she uses. ' he gets upset to easily and it blinds him' she thinks to herself.

twili:

Asylintha's eye twitches. " I know i do somewhere. Didn't you pay attention to the elders at each one of these things? Who ever has a mark like mine on their body somewhere as a twin in the light world."

[Gee-chan]

The general said nothing before he made his move. Striking his sheild with his sword he caused a blinding flash of light which he used to suddenly run a long gash down his opponent's arm. As he did so he said in Mabala's ear "You know nothing of legends"

Hylian
Garath eventually beat his foe by getting in close where she couldn't attack as fast and dispaced her with a thrust to the chest. Just as soon as his foe fell he was attacked by another, this one weilding a mace. Beside his he could see that his two companions were both having an equally hard time. Also in front of him he could see the genral facing off with a more experienced looking woman wielding a very long sword.

Gerudo
Landara was starting to run low on arrows now. They had been so easy to use after Merk had enchanted them that she had been firing them off like there was no tomorrow. Down below Merk was fareing pretty well, what he lacked in the agility the girls had he made up with the natural strength his build gave him.

Twili
Naarsa's reply was "Yes, but the Elders also said that after the link between the worlds was broken there was no consistancy between them any more, even time runs differently there now."

[Sasha]

She growls a bit and thinks to herself she needs to fall back and patch her self up some and puts off the pain on her some more like she was trained to do when younger. " Dirty trick. The hero never used that kind of moves your a coward." she uses her sword to mimic him and lands him with it and kicks away the shield and slashes his arm and jumps away and picks up the shield and tosses it to one of her non busy sisters. "Thanks for returning our stolen item thou. We've been looking for this for many a years." She looks back at the few that have been able to move the inured. " Get them back to the fortress to the healers. Also return that shield." She watches them run off with the hurt ones and others staying and fighting.

Twili:

Asylintha nods. " I know but this is the 1st time since it happened that my mark has bothered me. Something is wrong. I'm going to check on the old portal site." with that said she races off.

[AshK]

OOC: What's this a war between all of the races on Hyrule? Just wondering.

*Allen raised his sword and charged into battle.*

[Gee-chan]

The general just smirks. "Well excecuted" he commented, "However I don't have time for this". He moved his head slightly and from behind it came a knife thrown from a man with hair of snow and eyes black as coals, madness burining within. In his hands were two more knives which he span with great skill.

"Deal with her" said the general, "I have an appointment"

With that he dashed off towards the ruins. If anyone had been listening they would have heard him hiss "You will pay for resisting me, boy!"

Hylian
Garath managed to fend off his opponent long enough to land a harsh blow to the stomache before he saw the general rush off into the ruins. Not really knowing why he hurried to follow his leader.

Gerudo
Landara spotted the general jsut too late to fire an arrow at him. She jumped down and called out to her friend.

"Merk!" she called, "One of them just went into the ruins! We have to stop him!"

Merk finished off his opponent with a forwards thrust before turning and running as fast as he could to follow Landara into the ruins of the Arbiter's grounds, build on the even more ancient ruins of the Soul Temple.

Twili
"Hey wait for me!" called Naarsa, chasing after the girl.

The old portal was a jutting piece of cliff with a mark on the ground. In front of it was a tall rock with a curious conical hole in it. The elders told them that this was the place where the twilight realm and the world of light were joined once and that the large stone had come from the worlds of light, bonded to a twilight stone on the other side. It was here that the man from the world of light came with the banished and cursed Midna to restore order to the worlds. However the cliff, the rock and the symbol on the ground were all the was left to show that there ever had been a bridge between worlds.

[AshK]

"I guess we better follow him into the ruins." Allen said as he went into the ruins following his commander. Lyon was close behind.
