Legend of Zelda: Congregation of Shadows (the RP)

[Sasha]

Soon both Mabala and Asylitnha awaken.

"Where am ?" mumbles Mabala."

"Heck if I know." Asylintha answers.

They both blink and look at each other seeing how much alike they are and both faint once more.

[AshK]

"Hey I wonder where this portal is going to go?" Allen asked to himself.

[Shadowmaster]

Lyon slowly awoke. "Whayt happened...where am I?" he asked.

[Gee-chan]

OOC: Just in case anyone cares this update was brought to you by toasted pickles and the number 5627......*cough*....

"Awake young ones" said a voice. It echoed in the heads of all those in the temple.

"Wha?..." mumbled Naarsa, his vision was blurred and his hearing foggy.

"Who..are you?" asked Garath who was in a similar condition

Landara stirred in silence.

"Awake for your destiny lies ahead of you." it was a different voice this time and it was from outside of their heads.

The 8 sages stood around the weak company, they themselves fatigued.

"It took more from them than we expected" said a shadow.

"The void truely is a wonderous and terrible thing..." said a masked one.

Naarsa was the first to properly return to consciousness. The first this he felt was confustion as he looked around, then fear and alarm.

"Light!!" he yelled, trying to sheild himself, "So much light!!"

"Calm down young Twili" said a shadow.

"The light!", by now Naarsa was screaming, "The light will kill me!!"

The commotion brought Garath and Landara out of their stupour and both rose to much confusion. Almost intinctivly Garath went to restrain the panicking Naarsa and wrestled him to the ground.

Landara looked around, seeing the figures around her. "Who are you?!?" she demanded, "Where am I?"

"You are in the temple of light." said a masked figure, "This is the great sactuary of the Sacred Realm."

"The light" Naarsa was only stuttering and shaking now, "It burns me."

"The light here will not harm you" said a shadow, "you are protected by our power."

"What is this about the light burning him?" asked Garath, he was releasing his hold on the boy now.

"He is of the Twili." said a shadow, "the light is like fire to him, in the same way the darkness would consume you, Hylian."

"Why are we here?" asked Landara.

The sages looked at each other.

"We shall awake your companions first" said a masked one, "Then we shall impart our knowledge unto you."

Edit: being the idiot that I am, I accidently put Mabala in instead of Landara. This is fixed now but if you read it before I changed it please forgive my moronity

[Sasha]

Mabala and Asylintha both start stirring again and sit up.

Mabala looks around. " Eh whats going on here?"

Asyllintha notices again and winces a bit trying to stay awake this time. " Heck if I know."

[AshK]

"Um what's going on here?" Allen asked.

[Shadowmaster]

Lyon looks around silently. Something big must have happened... he thinks.

[Gee-chan]

OOC: this description is not the official history of Hyrule. It is the one that I came up with and that made sense to me in the way that it explains the other realms as well.

The elders looked at the now awake group and nodded towards each other.

"Very well" they all said in one, clear voice, "Listen now as we speak to you of the creation of the worlds."

"There was once only one world. A world of unending conflict between opposing elements and beings forced together onto one plain of existance. Beings of light, creatures of darkness, champions of good, entities of evil and all others caught between these boundries, all forced to fight for supremacy in order to attempt to survive. Upon this the gods watched and wept until they could bear it no more and decided to fracture this great world into many parts. The beings chozen for this role were four in number. Nauru, Din, Farore and Gannon. A trinity of light and the lonesome wanderer of darkness. Together they gathered all the warring ones and bade them to follow who they chose to the new worlds to be created."

"The three goddesses made a world of light in which they would dwell while the beast Gannon forged a realm of pure darkness and into the realm of the other each entered as their trial. From inside the Dark world the goddesses made what became the Twilight Realm and it was filled with the light and knowledge of all creation. In the Sacred Realm, Gannon poured the pain the light caused him into his efforts and formed a barren desolate realm of stone, void of life and dark as night. This is how Hyrule was born."

"The creators walked through their new worlds until they reached the point where the realms stood closest and together they crossed over, each bringing with them a stone to act as a shrine of each land to it's sibling. When the sisters beheld the rock of hyrule they pitied it and sowed into it the seeds of life at the cost of the energies that permiated around it, while Gannon condensed the light around him into the corporial earth, leaving the world in a constant dusk. With their works done the goddesses ascended to the Sacred Realm they so craved, leaving in their wake the blessed Triforce as final testiment to their prescence. As he left for the Dark realm that would sustain him and heal the pain he had suffered, Gannon cast off the mask of Fused Shadows he bore and abandoned the world."

"As unending time passed, the survivors of the endless wars left the war-torn void and began to dwell in the realms that suited them best. As the ages came and went, the desendants of these refugees forgot their origins and once again strove for their own gain and opened the gates of worlds again. As punishment for their folly two wise men took it upon themselves to close the gate and take their followers with them to their domains. As they parted for the last time, The King of Twilight and The Lord of Hyrule blessed one-another with champions who would aid them through whatever threats their worlds came under. These champions were a young man and a wise wolf and for as long as they have existed, they have guarded their homes no-matter-what."

The sages finished their story and spoke directly to the assembled group.

"However this lineage has failed. The godesses prevented the great wolf from emerging in the Twilight Realm and Link, The Hero of Time, has fallen under Gannon's control. The time has come for new heroes to restore the balance of realms and stop the void from consuming the land once more."

Garath spoke up. "Why do the goddesses and Gannon want to break apart the worlds they tried so hard to make?"

"Because they are one and the same" said the sages, "They were made from the splitting of neutrality and their hearts long for each other. However much they understood what they had to do, often their pain overwhelms them and they can no-longer control their desire."

While Naarsa stood silent in awe at the tale he had just been told, Landara wiped away a tear, shed in sorrow at sacrifice made for them.

[AshK]

"We are the chosen Champions I take it then?" Allen asked curiously.

[Sasha]

Mabala blinks. " Thats a lot to take in but tell me this why does she look like me?" She points at Asylintha.

Asylintha nods. " Something I'd like to know as well."

[Shadowmaster]

"So what exactly do we need to do?" Lyon asks.

[Gee-chan]

"We are the chosen Champions I take it then?" Allen asked curiously.

"I believed that goes without saying" said a mask

Mabala blinks. " Thats a lot to take in but tell me this why does she look like me?" She points at Asylintha.

Asylintha nods. " Something I'd like to know as well."

"You two are almost an impossibility that happened anyway." said a shadow, "Each being in the Twilight Realm has a counterpart in Hyrule and vice versa. Usually they would both live, age and die normally but when the link between the worlds was willingly broken time began to run differently in each world. As a side-effect counterparts began emerging with very different appearances and physiques while still sharing the same essence. Ususally it had very few ill-effects but sometimes it could lead to identity insecurities especially with twins of opposite genders. You two were born at exactly the same time, in exactly the same location of your worlds during an interval where time was synchronized. As such the bond between you is abnormally strong and under some conditions is even tangible."

OOC: slight edit to add a clue about something Cyclondia asked about

"So what exactly do we need to do?" Lyon asks.

"For your task you must first find the Sages of the Sacred Realm that will take our places." said a shadow, "We are old and the whithering of time wears heavy upon us. While we are indeed powerful, we are not nearly strong enough to play our part much longer. The same can probably be said for the Sages of the Dark Realm. You must aid them in your quest as well."

[AshK]

"When do we start? Or do you need to change our appearance somehow?" Allen asked.

OOC: So when is the TG'ing going to start? I want Allen's mind to change as well and you can choose what TG'ed Allen looks like.

[Gee-chan]

OOC: any TG will happen soon, I'll give a heads up when its ready to start. As for the change, I'll let you handle that, I like to see how other people do the transformation sequence.

[Sasha]

Mabala blinks. " Wait a seconds we both are the same?"

Asylintha shakes her head after hearing it. " Guess we are sisters in a way then. Could we be the reason the portal reopened?"
