Technically Not Retconned...

Technically Not Retconned... is a continuation of introduction stories. Specifically it singles out Bennu/Neon/Yruti/Ishmael since none of them interact or do much of anything. Later on Neon has some more interactions, but they have almost no real relation to what happens here. Some of these posts may not be in the exact correct order. The posts from page 1 have ordering issues, but beginning with posts on Page 2 of IGN, they are simply posted in the order they were written.
== Adventures of Bennu ==
With the stars bright tonight, Bennu walked to the nearby field. It seemed to expand endlessly towards the night sky where there, the sky and field met, forming a waving horizon. He thought to himself, as he did every night in the presence of the stars. Thinking of the happenings in Subrosia.
"What is happening in the land I know so well, Subrosia. And the white flash among this land... what was that?"
He then thought of the land beyond his safety. "What does this land hold for me? Do I not have a purpose here?"
He reached into his bag as he pondered, and pulled out the small blue item that glittered full of the star's light. He wondered deeply where this could have come from, for he has seen no such thing before.
As he lay among the stars, he came up with a thought. His thought formed into an idea, which then formed into action. He swiftly walked, seeming to have swam through the air with his cloak draped across the ground, back to his small area in the safety of the trees.
With concentration, he tried to figure out a way to convert his energy from his whole self, into the small blue gem that struck his curiosity so. He planned to journey away from his small grove of trees with but the energy of himself in his small blue rock.
== And Neon ==
Day 1/ Twili camp on Ordona Forest/ Neon Zelgadiz (dark) 
At the moment, there wasn't much to do in the Twili camp, therefore the soldiers that weren't patrolling or in the medical center, just hanged around trying to rest and "relax" before the next battle. 
Vicks was walking around the camp looking for something to do we he saw a group of people that apparently were watching something interesting, so he decided to join them. While walking towards the group of people he saw Neon standing among the crowd, he has looking the other way around like the rest of the people. 
Vicks was 20 feet behind Neon when suddenly he turned around to look at Vicks. 
Vicks: How do you do that? 
Neon: What? 
Vicks: This is at least the fourth time I come at you from behind and somehow you spot me. 
Neon: Oh… That… Well, I do it in the same way I'm going to do this. 
Neon turned again to face whatever everybody was watching. Vicks walked a few steps more and finally saw what the rest of the people was watching. It was a girl with one of those games where you need to find a small ball. 
The game was clearly improvised, in fact, the small green ball was an insect. 
"This is all?" the surprised Vicks thought. Neon paid the entry fee for the game and the girl covered the green "ball" with one of the shells and started moving them at an incredible speed, it was unreal, It looked like the girl had 6 or 8 hands. After a moment, the girl stopped her hands and Neon pointed at the second shell from the right, the girl lifted the shell and…. Neon had luck, the ball was there. Neon played another round, and had luck again, and again, and again… he won 6 straight games and then walked away. 
Vicks silently followed Neon and after a couple of minutes he moved his hand behind his back and asked to Neon: 
Vicks: How many fingers do I have? 
Neon: … 
Neon: 3 
Vicks: I knew it!! You're a mind reader!! 
Neon: No. 
Vicks: Then how can you do that kind of things. 
Neon: … 
Neon: Well… I can feel the "essence" or energy of any living being close to me, and then I guess my mind creates an accurate 3D image of it. There's energy flowing through every inch of our bodies, that's how I can see your fingers behind your back or the insect behind the shells. 
Vicks: That's incredible! Is it some kind of spell? 
Neon: … No, I wish I could do spells like that, it's just… well… I don't know. I just do it, all the time, I can't… turn it off. 
Vicks: Then… 
Neon: I… don't want to talk about it anymore. 
Vicks: … 
Neon: … 
Neon: I have permission to do a little reconnaissance around the epicenter of the magic discharge and nearby areas. Do you want to come with me? I don't think we'll find anything interesting, but at least we'll get out of here for a while. 
Vicks: I don't know. There are rumors about that place you know? I'll go if we take Wedge with us. 
Neon: Sure, go ask him. In fact, try to get a few others to come with us, anyone can come. I'll wait for you here, not many people know me. 
Neon sat under a tree near the camp's entrance while Vicks was asking around the camp to see if somebody wanted to go on the reconnaissance "mission". 
Bennu
As Bennu walked through the endless field near the forest, he spotted smoke rising in the distance. The black billows floated towards the sky above. Perhaps this had to do with the flash. He then thought of his home once again, reminded by the black clouds.
As he gazed to the smoke, he spotted a moving silhouette among the sky. However, it was too far to make out what it could have formed. So he continued on, keeping in mind how much energy he had left to spend on this journey. He remembered the rock, and continued on yet a bit faster.
His thirst begged for him to find water of it's satisfaction. So he cleared his mind, and reached out with his energy. He felt near a source, and quickly hurried into the dark forest.
Silence took over the forest, and only a stream could be heard. He kept focusing, keeping only what was needed in mind. He was losing energy even faster now. It poured out of him at an extreme rate, leaving him fatigued and even more thirsty. He had yet to work on controlling his energy. For it was leaving, and he needed as much as he could save.
As he found himself nearing the stream, he ran even faster, and still faster. As he came upon it's presence he found himself falling into what was his most feared enemy... and then he saw nothing. Darkness consumed his mind as he struggled for his small blue rock. And with his touch, he released the reserved energy to create a bright flash, and a small light to mark his presence.
Day 1 (noon)/ Twili camp on Ordona Forest/ Neon Zelgadiz (dark)
Neon was seated under a tree, watching the figures of the few women who walked close to him. Sure, most of them wore armors, but that wasn't a problem for him, he was able to see every inch of their bodies, it was a blessing and a curse at the same time. Eventually, Neon felt (or saw, it was the same for him) Vicks and Wedge walking towards him, they were alone.
Vicks: I could only convince Wedge. 
Neon: Good day, Wedge. 
Wedge: Good day, sir. 
Neon was an officer (just a middle one, not a high one), but he didn't act like one (he almost never gave orders, and he called almost everyone by their firsts names), he didn't even dress like one (he never wore the uniform). All of his subordinates had learn to treat him almost like an equal (some of them didn't even know he was an officer), all except one... Wedge. Neon preferred to be called by his name instead of "sir", but it didn't bother him much.
The three of them went to the entrance of the camp, and after a brief talk with the gate’s guards, the three Twili soldiers were walking through the forest.
Bennu
Bennu's energy was close to depletion. He could feel the ground, solid beneath him... but his cloak was drenched. It was draining his energy still. He reached for his small blue gem. He found it and reached into his bag. He felt around, and placed the gem in a small pouch and retrieved his scarlet red cloak from his belongings. His small fatigued self slowly stood up with the last of his energy. As he opened his eyes, he jolted a bit to see another creature there before him.
"What is this?" He thought to himself quietly, fearing it would hear his mind. He squeezed closed his eyes for a moment, thinking that it would help.
Bennu moved a bit closer to see the creature a bit better. It seemed to have no trouble moving among the waters as it watched him with curiosity present. Bennu thought, and wondered how this creature communicated. For Bennu struggled so to create words, but failed as he did time after time. He could not understand why, but there was something that did not permit him to use such communication. So he continued to think, striving to find other ways.
Bennu placed one cloaked arm across his chest, and gently bowed towards the creature of curiosity that moved so freely within his feared enemy. It was the only form of introduction he knew since the beginning of himself. He only hoped that the creature understood his presentation, and then he could bear no more, and collapsed without energy enough to move. There his bag dropped leaving things strewn across the forest floor. And once again, darkness took over Bennu's thoughts and mind. His curiosities and consciousness left him in peace.
Bennu was losing energy still, and could not bear to be much longer. His drenched cloak drained his life every moment it was with water on it.
== And Kemli ==
Kemli peered through the pouring rain. The moon was hidden beneath heavy clouds, giving extra stealth. Shaking the water out of his feathers, he spread his wings and burst into flight. Plu whispered, "Now" and dropped from him, into the courtyard below. Plu marked a small warehouse with faerie fire. Kemli flew low, and a though in his mind cause energy to build in his body. He focused this energy into his palm and a small spark burst to light in his hand. He tossed the spark into the air and when it came parallel to his body he sent a shock wave out of his finger. As the spark flew to it's destination it slowly grew bigger and Kemli's anticipation grew. The flame stopped just before it landed on the warehouse roof. A crackle turned to a burn and a burn turned to a blaze. Then, the flame burst and fire was blasted all over the thatched roof of the warehouse. The force caused the roof of the warehouse to explode, and flaming wood and pitch was scattered across the yard. A voice then yelled, "HELP! HELP! THE MONASTERY IS IN FLAMES! WE ARE UNDER ATTACK" Kemli smiled and turned the opposite direction. He had work to do.
The smell of tar and burnt wood filled kemli's nostrils. A Plu giggle and congratulated himself. Suddenly a strange feeling ripped through kemli's soul. Some sort of magical disturbance had happened. The Brotherhood could wait. 
Kemli: Plu, we must leave. Plu: But why? Kemli: Something bad has happened. Plu: But bad things happen all the time! Kemli: Something horrible has happened. Plu: oh... was it magic? Kemli: yes... I am afraid so.
Plu jumped up into kemli's sack, and kemli spread his wings. Before they knew it, they were flying over mountains.
To the south.
Kemli and Plu only stopped twice on their way through the mountains, and that was to steal a pitcher of wine and a couple of loafs of bread. The flight was uneventful, until they reached the ends of the mountains. A blizzard whipped across the mountains and shakily Plu told him that they must be near Snowpeak. Slowly, as Kemli fought through it the storm lessened and they burst out of the clouds, and lowered their altitude. The mountains gave way to a massive gorge, with many rivers. Below them lay the land of Hyrule. The rivers gave way to plains and Kemli's strong sight spotted a pillar of smoke in the distance.
Something out of the corner of his eye caught his attention. An owl, carrying a large bundle. Confused, Kemli went in for a closer look.
An owl? That talk like a Hylian? Kemli had been caught off his guard, then he flew closer and answered.
Kemli: I am searching for a magical object of great power, if you help me find it, I will help you.
Plu peered uncertainly out of his pack.
Kemli: I am Kemli, a Rito, from across the northern mountains. Your friend here agreed to help me look for an object. Plu: I am a Plu, Kemli is my friend and I am his helper.
Both the owl and fairy looked down at the Minish with a slight amount of astonishment, seeing it for the first time.
Exhausted, kemli sits on the earth outside of the cave. Feeling drowsy, Kemli drifts into a light sleep. Suddenly Kemli is jolted awake. Kemli senses a being of magic. His face crinkles into a frown. Then it dawns on him.
Kemli: Someone is already on their way to the object. We... must... leave... now...
Finally exhaust overtakes him, and he drifts of into sleep, his head in slumped.
== And Yruti and Nettle ==
Yruti and Nettle, part 1. 
Somewhere in the Ordona forest.
Yruti was wildly flapping his wings, trying to get past the cloying smoke and searing flames, trying to reach the hollow nook in the tree he called home. The only thing on his mind was the state of his possessions. Had the fires reached the part of his forest? Were all of his precious belongings set aflame? Crashing through a mass of branches and leaves, he plummeted into his abode, sighing in relief that the flames weren't consuming his store.  Nettle was zipping about, gathering their precious store into a large bundle. He looked up at Yruti and let out a deep sigh, glad that the "big and strong" owl was there to help. hopping forward to aid the fairy, Yruti grabbed the last of the belongings into the bundle, tied the ends of the bundle to his pike, and laboriously lifted off from the tree, belongings in talon, and Nettle in tow. 
Several minutes later, the two creatures hovered above the wreckage below, watching their former place of residence burn apart. Yruti shrugged it off, they hadn't been getting many travelers in that area anyways, and everything in the nearby vicinity that was worth value had been taken by them. Briefly wondering what had caused the fire, he swooped around and began flying off in search of another location in which they could dwell. 
Nettle stayed there for just a moment longer, watching the bright orange and thick black consume what used to be lush and green. Something big was happening, he knew it. He could feel it. Looking back one last time, he turned and zipped away to catch up with Yruti.
Miles away Grand General Lord Grem and the Twili army looked down upon the destruction they had created within the forest.
Yruti and Nettle, part 2 (day 1 continued).
Ordona forest outskirts. 
Yruti and nettle drifted in slow circles above the outskirts of the woods. Peering below, Yruti spied out particular areas which held possibilities as future homes for both him and Nettle. A particular protrusion of rock had caught his attention in particular, especially considering the number of holes it held near the top end, and the inaccessibility it posed from the ground. A tree also grew from the top of it, marking it clearly. Flying closer to investigate, Yruti made up his mind. Pulling the bundle into the largest of the small caves, he laid his and Nettle's collective possessions across the floor. Nodding his approval towards Nettle, he confirmed that they would be staying here. "It's a good spot, maybe better than our last." he stated "Hopefully we will also be in an area with more game." "Aye" came Nettles nonchalant response. "Well, I'm going to go take an extensive look at our surroundings, see what this area holds." A pause "Feel free to organize our things, we have a whole hole infested rock between the two of us." He started to head out of the entrance, but was stopped by a call from Nettle.  "Ruti, before you leave... that fire wasn't only an accident. Something purposefully caused it. There is something bigger going on here." "Thanks Nettle. I'll keep it in mind."
Late afternoon light poured from the sky, creating long shadows and a slightly orange glow, giving the surroundings a relaxing mood. The cool air felt refreshing as it brushed past Yruti's feathers. Noting all of this, he took a deep breath of contentment as he glided on the air currents, spotting out the various landmarks. Noting a small stream exiting the forest and cascading into a substantial pool, Yruti decided that a swim could do him some good. Any passerby would have been astonished at the sight of Yruti's dive. An owl, plummeting out of the sky into a pool of water, only to briefly emerge as a Zora, and dive back down again. 
The pool contained nothing of large interest, so Yruti took it into his mind to take a swim farther upstream. He had not been in water for nearly three weeks now, so was slightly unfamiliar with being a Zora again. Along with his change in body, he had evoked memories of his deal with the mischievous skull-kid, back when his only form was his Zora form. He thought about it for several minutes, letting himself subconsciously swim farther and farther upstream. Eventually he decided on taking swims more often, as he did not completely wish to forget his true race and heritage, humorously musing that he was becoming too much of an owl. Focusing on his path through the water, he suddenly stopped, noticing a dark form lying half in, half out of the stream.  Approaching cautiously, he deducted that the thing was an unconscious creature, and posed little threat. What amazed Yruti most though, was a little blue gem, lying on the shore by the creature, and this little blue gem was emitting a light. Yruti began to reach out for the gem, but immediately stopped, noticing that the mysterious creature was beginning to stir...
Yruti, part 3 (evening of day 1).
A stream in the Ordona forest.
Yruti watched the strange being struggle in the water, and than make an interesting bowing movement. He also noticed the the thing had placed the blue gem in the bag that was lying next to it. Both curiosity about the creature, and greed towards the gem, he decided to take action. The creature had fallen unconscious again, giving Yruti the opportunity he needed
He stood up in the water, leaving the lower half of his body covered, enough water to sustain his Zora form. Taking the bag from the creature, he looped it over his head and under his arm. He than dragged the smaller being completely from the water, and stepped from the water himself. As the drops fell from his body, he changed back into an owl. 
Grabbing the thing by it's shoulders, Yruti flapped his great wings, and lifted off of the ground. Barely clearing the canopy above, Yruti was already short of breath. The mysterious creature was a heavy load, and his satchel of belongings was also a considerable weight. Making one stop to rest on a tree branch, Yruti caught his breath, and than lifted off once more. When nearing the forests edge, he spotted a bird-man, a Rito, swooping towards him. Desperate for help, he called out to this stranger. 
"Are you going to just glide around and watch me? Or are you going to give me your aid?"
Impatiently, Yruti waited for the Rito's response.
Yruti and Nettle, part 4 (late evening of day 1)
The outskirts of the Ordonna forest.
"A magical artifact of great power?" thought Yruti "sounds promising." "Agreed", he told the Rito. 
Yruti grabbed hold of the creature's wrist, while the Rito took hold of the ends of it's legs. Together they flew the rest of the distance to Yruti's rock, letting the subrosian down upon the top of the rock, underneath the tree. Hearing the commotion outside, Nettle popped out of one of the hole's entrances. 
Looking at the two new strangers, he posed a simple question. "Who are these, and what do they want?"
Meanwhile, the sun set, in a burning mass of red.
Yruti and Nettle, part 5 (sunset of day 1).
Yruti and Nettle's dwelling. 
Nettle looked towards Yruti, wanting an explanation for the creature laying on the ground. Shrugging his wings, Yruti, explained what he knew.
"I decided to go for a swim up a nearby stream, the stream led me into the forest, and this creature was lying in the water." he paused "He also has a small blue gem, containing some sort of power, I am very interested in it." Looking towards the Subrosian, he spoke again. "We can question it once it wakes, and find wether it will be of any use to us or not... If not, well we can always get rid of this thing..." He trailed off.
Just than, the Subrosian began to stir.
Bennu
Bennu breathed in. He felt dry and warm. He opened his eyes, and to his astonishment, he was among the presence of three others... and a sparkling burning, ember looking thing, flying about. The small Subrosian suddenly was completely awake from the new event. He looked around as they interestedly looked back at him. And, as he did before, placed his what was now dry arm, over his chest and bowed. The same introduction he gave the other creature. For perhaps it was him who told some friends.
He then reached for his small satchel that he found laying near him. He had feared it was left behind when he could not find it where it usually was. He frantically dug through, and there in that same small pouch was his gem. Bennu was relieved to see that none of his belongings were taken.
With gem in hand, Bennu released his energy into the blue gem. Everyone stopped what they were doing, and sat in great wonder while staring at Bennu. He noticed this, especially from the owl, and immediately stopped transferring energy.
"Can they feel it?" He wondered.
He looked over to the somewhat fatigued owl that seemed so curious. He decided, as a gift to all of the members here, he would release his energy and place it in their ownership. For he did not want to harm the creatures, but let them know that he searched for friends to journey with. For he had none.
Bennu closed his bright white eyes, and sent each individual a piece of his energy. Even the flying ember, just to see it's reaction. He then looked at each to see their reactions, and gently bowed. They seemed satisfied but still looked very puzzled as to what Bennu was, and where it came from.
Ordona forest (night) Day 1
Kemli awoke with a start. The stars twinkled above. He woke Plu.
Kemli: We should wake the others. Plu: yes.
Plu yawned and walked into the cave to wake the fairy, and kemli went to find the owl. He was perched on a limb, staring at the stars. The hooded creature lay against the tree, shivering. In his hand was the small blue gem. 
Kemli: "We must go. The artifact may be in danger, or a danger to those who search for it. I was taught by one of the great fairies that objects with power such as that can unleash vast amounts of destruction. Power like that would be better not to fall into the wrong hands... or untrained hands..."
The owl flew down from the tree, landing next to Kemli. Plu and Nettle walked out of the cave and joined them.
Yruti: "You have piqued my and Nettle's curiosity, we should get ready to go." Nettle: "What about him Ruti?" Looking towards the subrosian. Yruti: "Lets just leave him." Kemli: "I have no time for paltry talk! we must leave!"
Yruti and Nettle, part 6(night, day 1).
Yruti and Nettle's dwelling. 
Before leaving, Yruti went into the cave, grabbing his pike, in case any formidable danger presented itself. Nettle looked back at the mute creature shivering beneath the tree. 
"What about him, Ruti?"
"We can leave him here... he doesn't mean any harm. If he leaves, he leaves. If he stays, he stays."
Kemli and Plu looked over at the two of them, questioning them with their looks.
"Yes, let us be gone, we are ready." stated Yruti
The four of them jumped from the rock, two larger dark silhouettes and one glowing dot. 
"An owl that speaks like a Hylian is a strange find." said Kemli.
"Well..." Yruti began to describe his past as their voices faded away. 
Only the dark shadow of Bennu remained. Yruti looked back once more, seeing the dark form of the Subrosian beneath the tree. He hoped that he was making the right decision to leave him, slightly concerned for the shivering creature.
Bennu
Bennu gently lifted his head as he heard the sound of wings pushing the air aside. He quietly stood up making sure he was silent, and looked out to the sky. There was the Silhouette of two birdlike shapes and the small sparkling ember was also among the group, leaving Bennu the only one at the rock.
He grabbed his small satchel, and climbed down the rock in a stealthy fashion. He grabbed his gem, and within it was the energy that he had been saving throughout the day. With it, he could run at a great speed through this area, as long as he was careful of his surroundings, he could keep up with the group and follow them to their destination.
Bennu remembered back to a moment earlier in the day when Kemli mentioned an artifact of danger. If Bennu was to communicate how he wanted to help... now was his chance.
Yruti and Nettle, part 7 (nearing midnight, day 1)
Ordona forest.
The four of them hurried over the forest, fearing some other being beating them to the site. Air whipped past as they pushed themselves forward through the darkness. Nettle's light sped about between the two bird forms, beneath them, the forest swept past in a blur.
"We are getting close!" Kemli shouted above the rush of air. 
They had reached an area of the forest that had undergone heavy burning. Pulling down and to the right, Kemli drifted towards the blackened trees, Yruti and Nettle quickly following suite. Landing in the midst of the burnt forest, the four of them observed their surroundings. 
"It is here?" asked Yruti.
"No, but it is very close." came Kemli's response.
Thinking of the most likely places to find an artifact, Nettle gave his opinion, "There is a temple not far from this place, if we are to find anything, I suggest we start by looking there."
"Aye, I sense it's power very near to here, lead the way, Nettle." said Kemli.
Several minutes later, they entered a clearing, A ruined temple standing at one end of it. Twili bodies were strewn about, as if some shockwave had knocked them all to the ground. The place was full of promise. 
Bennu
Bennu ran quickly keeping the two big birds and the small flying ember in sight. He could feel a strong energy somewhere near. It was coming from the area where he saw the smoke the other day.
At this speed, he could make it through only a few more woods before his energy ran dry... and he guessed that they would be stopping any time. For Bennu's srtong curiosity remained.
"What could they be after that is so important as to leave in such a flurry?" His mind wondered.
Ahead he could see the edge of the forest, where the remains of tree stumps and bodies strewn about the ground lay in peace. He immediately stopped running right before the forest ended, and watched the group land gently among the fallen forest. And at that moment, the small ember wandered about the fires doings and glowed greater than normal. There was something important here. Bennu could feel it flowing through the land. An energy hot-spot. But he wondered what it was, for he felt no greater energy before.
Day 1 (afternoon)/ Twili camp on Ordona Forest/ Neon Zelgadiz (dark)
 Neon and his 2 subordinates had been walking thru the forest for a few hours, but they didn't seem to have a specific direction. 
Vicks: Hey, Neon. What are we looking for? 
Neon: Good question, nothing specific, anything unusual I guess. 
Vicks: Can't you see anything with your third eye? 
Neon: My what? I don't have a third eye. 
Vicks: You know, that skill of yours. How do you call it then? 
Neon: I don't call it anything. 
Vicks: You need to give it a name, so "Third eye" it is!! 
Neon:... fine, I haven't seen anything with my... *sigh*..."third eye". It's really fearsome, there's absolutely NOTHING alive in this area. There are no plants, no animals, no small insects, no birds... 
Wedge: Sir, that's incorrect, I just saw a couple of birds in that direction while you and Vicks were talking. 
Neon:... 
Vicks:... 
Neon: Well... I guess that's "unusual" (in this environment), and the epicentre, to which we were going to inspect later, is in that direction as well so... let's go. 
The three soldiers silently walked towards the epicentre until... 
Vicks: Do you think the rumors are true? You know... those rumors about ghosts and zoombies roaming in the night. 
Neon, wedge: No. 
Vicks: But... there was a temple in the area right? It's not very common, but some times, weird things happen around temples because of the magic forces sealed within them. 
Neon and Wedge had to admit it, Vicks had a point. There were documented cases of spiritual entities and reanimated corpses around some temples. But there were only a couple of them in hundreds of years... so they had nothing to worry about. They kept going to the epicentre, they were just some minutes away from it. 
Day 1 (night)/ Epicenter area in the Ordona forest/ Neon Zelgadiz (dark)
While the 3 soldiers entered the epicentre area, they noted a big amount of twili corpses lying on the ground, it was a disturbing sight. And that was not the only thing they saw...
Ordona Forest/day 2/late night.
Kemli touched the ground. He could sense the magic that had happened here. Corpses littered the ground. Kemli sensed the magical being very near... Too near. Kemli stood up. Three figures were standing alone on the edge of the clearing.
Kemli: We must not let them take the magic here! To arms! Plu: Quick let's stun them and take the object!
Kemli searched inside the creature hoping to find a weakness.  Ah ha! This must be a Twili! A creature of the darkness! So he must be weak to light!
Kemli took some of the energy from the corpses around him, and turned it into faerie light, with just a though. 
He aimed the beam into the creature.
The creature's eyes rolled into it's head and it fell to the ground writhing in pain.
It's friends ran towards kemli with swords raised, but they were sent flying by wards Plu had raised.
Kemli turn the light into a blast-wave and the creature slammed into a tree with a crunch.
But kemli still had magic burning through his veins. He turned, his eyes on fire, to the temple. He walked inside and picked up an object on the ground. A fragment of some sort of disc lay in his hands. He pried into it with his mind, but something already resided in the fragment.
Pure energy coursed through Kemli and everything became dark.
== Kakariko, The First One, I think ==
Morning 1/Hyrule Field/Ishmael 
Sweat began to form on Ishmael's brow as he carried the last of several heavy boxes from his house to a small push cart. All night the smokey, fragrant fumes of mushrooms and chu chu jelly filled his house. He had a large order to fill. A pessimist in Kakariko village was preparing for the worst and ordered an entire cart of blue and red potions. The red potions were standard, but he only brewed blue potions on request. It was all very expensive to make, but Ishmael would no doubt make a hefty amount on this order. He had also ordered a yellow potion, but the time frame for the pessimist's order didn't allow Ishmael to acquire the proper ingredients. As he set out towards Kakariko village he remembered the attack on Ordona. Maybe he isn't quite the pessimist after all. 
He began to push his cart towards the village, though it required a great amount of effort. By Farore, I need to get a horse. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to push his cart up a hill. As he came over the the top of the hill, he spotted a bullbo grazing in the distance. He reached down and place his crossbow on the top of the cart, making sure that a bolt was loaded in it. Luckily the wild beast ignored him or at least didn't see him. After all, he speed right past the bullbo, struggling to keep control of a fast moving cart leaves on with little option of speed. However, he eventually spotted the customers house in the distance while walking through the Kakariko gates.
Noon 1/Kakariko Village/Ishmael 
Ishmael pulled the heavy, wobbling cart into town. As the cart had been nearly free-falling down the hill, one of the wooden wheels had a section broken off, leaving it unstable. Luckily, the cart would not likely fall apart before he got to the patrons house. There was a crowd of people gathering in the center of the town, but business before pleasure. He pulled the cart up to a small house and walked towards the round, wooden door.For such a small house, this guy ordered a ton of potions. He better be able to pay for all of these...He knocked at the door.Mr.Letgin,knock,Mr.Letgin, its Ishmael from Peerless Potions, I have your order. The door opened and a man as short and round as the door walked through. He had a deep, husky voice like someone took the voice box of a sixty-year-old smoker and dragged it through a mile of glass.Yes, fine fine. Here, unload them the back. He had tossed a satchel of rupees at him and slammed the door. Ishmael counted the rupees, and as he thought, he was short a hundred. Rather than have to deal with the human globe again, he just took a few red potions and a blue potion off the cart and abandoned the entire thing behind his house. No use in keeping a cart that's falling apart. No more deliveries, I'll use the mail from now on. 
The crowd he had seen while entering the town was still there, and he decided to see what the big deal was. The crowd was all centered around a large man on a soapbox, reading from a scroll. The man was dressed in fancy cloth, fitted over chainmail. The cloth draped over his armor had the royal crest on it, which could mean only one thing.

== The Adventure Continues ==
Ordona Forest/day 2/late night.
Kemli touched the ground. He could sense the magic that had happened here. Corpses littered the ground.
Kemli sensed the magical being very near... Too near. Kemli stood up. Three figures were standing alone on the edge of the clearing.
Kemli: We must not let them take the magic here! To arms!
Plu: Quick let's stun them and take the object!
Kemli searched inside the creature hoping to find a weakness. 
Ah ha! This must be a Twili! A creature of the darkness! So he must be weak to light!
Kemli took some of the energy from the corpses around him, and turned it into faerie light, with just a though. 
He aimed the beam into the creature.
The creature's eyes rolled into it's head and it fell to the ground writhing in pain.
It's friends ran towards kemli with swords raised, but they were sent flying by wards Plu had raised.
Kemli turn the light into a blast-wave and the creature slammed into a tree with a crunch.
But kemli still had magic burning through his veins. He turned, his eyes on fire, to the temple. He walked inside and picked up an object on the ground. A fragment of some sort of disc lay in his hands. He pried into it with his mind, but something already resided in the fragment.
Pure energy coursed through Kemli and everything became dark.
Yruti and Nettle, day 2 (late night).
Temple in the Ordonna forest'''
Both Yruti and Nettle watched in amazement as Kemli's magic took effect on the oncoming twili. A beam of light shot from the bird-man, squarely hitting one of the twili, knocking it to the ground in but an instant. The remaining two warriors charged towards Kemli at the sight of their fallen companion, but were stopped short before they ever reached him.
Yruti barely had any time to react to the encounter, and it was over before he could even offer any aid. Perched on the ground in a somewhat helpless manner, he watched as Kemli stormed into the ruined temple. 
Thinking quickly, Nettle hurried after Kemli. He saw Kemli reach down and pick something from the ground, a small shard of some sort. The expression on Kemli's face hardened in concentration, and than some sort of magical energy was discharged, causing Kemli to fall to the ground. Plu looked up up at the fluttering Nettle, an expression slightly filled with fear on his little face. 
"Ruti, come help, something's happened to Kemli!" shouted the glowing fairy.
Yruti heard Nettle's cry, but he did not have the time to pay it heed. All three of the fallen twili were beginning to stir.
ay 1 (night)/ Epicenter area in the Ordona forest/ Neon Zelgadiz (dark)
… Neon saw two bird-like figures and a sudden light that consumed everything in his sight, then, an intense wave of pain traveled through his body.
…
Neon's sight was blurry, he couldn’t hear anything, his body was heavy, thanks to his third eye he knew Vicks and Wedge were lying on the ground just like him. Just a few seconds later, his senses began to return to normal, just in time to see two blurry figures heading towards the temple.
A moment later, Vicks and Wedge helped Neon to stand up. Apparently, they were attacked with a less powerful spell than the one that hit Neon.
Wedge: Sir! Are you OK? 
Neon: Yes. Let’s follow them… we’ll use combo #3.
''
Neon grabbed a shield from a nearby corpse. Then, the soldiers began to run after their enemies, but the remaining pain wouldn’t let them do it as fast as usual.
Yruti and Nettle, Night 1 (late night).
Temple ruins.'''
Yruti watched as the three twili stood, prepared themselves, and charged. Taking his pike in his talons, he aimed it as a spear towards the attackers. Erecting an electric force around his body, Yruti shot several feathers from his wings. The feathers, now electrically charged, went flying through the air, aimed directly at the approaching foes. 
Mentally readying himself, Yruti flew threw the air, meaning to surprise the twili, and hopefully tip the end of his pike with one of their bodies. Both parties charged towards each other.
Only a miracle could save Yruti now...
-----------------------------------------
Wondering why Yruti had not answered, Nettle decided to see what was happening. Nearing the temples entrance, sounds of some commotion could be heard outside. Fearing the worst, Nettle hurtled through the opening.
Plu remained fearfully by Kemli's side, wishing that his friend would wake.
Bennu, Night 1 (late night).
Temple ruins.'''
Bennu watched from the edge of the forest. He stood hidden as flashes of light penetrated the defenses of the others among the clearing. He also watched the creature called, Kemli, went into the nearby ruins of what looked like a temple of some importance. The burning ember and the birdlike creature followed quickly into the ruins, to leave the owl alone with the enemy regaining consciousness.
The three fallen enemies gently stood and spoke to each other. The owl was the only one between the temple and the enemies, and they were now running towards him with weapons and shields in hand from the nearby fallen soldiers.
The owl lifted off the ground carrying a pike of intricate designs in it's talons, and aimed it towards its oncoming foes hoping to strike.
Bennu stepped out of the forest, for he could not stand and watch, but had to do something. With his energy worn out, he had nothing to offer. Except the small shovel that he carried around on his back, hidden beneath his cloak. He thought hard, for the charging foes only got closer.
Bennu took his shovel and banged it hard against a nearby shield from a fallen soldier. It created a banging sound and drew attention to his direction. He kept banging it on the shield, over and over, and then ran back into the forest to hide.
The owl was startled, and flew up higher to avoid the oncoming enemies. They stopped in their spot, and all was quiet. The owl high in the sky, the three stood there with wandering eyes. And Bennu heard one of them ask, "What is that?"
Day 1 (night)/ Epicenter area in the Ordona forest/ Neon Zelgadiz (dark)
Now, the three soldiers were able to clearly see their enemies. Inside the temple, a rito was lying on the floor and a fairy was at his side, on the outside an owl was flying near the entrance. 
None of the soldiers paid much attention to the owl, Vicks and Wedge were using their magic rods to charge their spells when suddenly electricity began to flow around the bird, apparently, the thing was able to cast spells as well. Neon crouched and raised his “new” shield , Vicks Wedge crouched behind Neon trying to be protected by the shield as well. Several electric objects crashed into Neon’s shield while Wedge released his spell. The crouched soldier calmly said the words “Dual Ice Spire“, less than a second later, his right shoulder was hit by an electrical object. The temperature decreased drastically while an ice formation started to raise just in front of Neon, but also, the same thing was happening inside the temple, just a few feet away from the door.
Neon heard a metallic noise coming from someplace, but his third eye didn’t perceive any danger nearby, however, it saw the bird charging towards them covered in electrical energy, how convenient, just in time to crash against the still raising ice, or at least that’s what Neon hoped. 
Vicks rolled to his right side and released his own spell “Shadow Ball” towards the inside of the temple. The shadow ball covered it’s surrounding area in darkness as it moved towards the temple, it was relatively slow for a spell. The shadow ball crashed against the second ice spire, causing it to shatter into dozens of sharp ice shards that flew into every imaginable direction. 
For a moment, Neon was nowhere to be seen, he had concealed himself into the shadow ball’s darkness an ran behind it, the shield protected him from the ice shards, and now, he was inside the temple, touching the Rito’s neck with the tip of his sword. 
Neon: If you move, I’ll kill him.
''
Neon hoped that his enemies weren’t cruel enough to don’t care about their partner, the idea of killing an unconscious person wasn’t to attractive to him. Now that he was close enough his third eye noted something, there was a also small creature in there, a Minish.
Kemli|The spirit realm|Unknown time|
Kemli was surrounded by darkness. Not total darkness, yes there were seven lights.
The lights drew closer. No not lights, people. People made of light. One figure drew closer.
Kemli... Finally you have come.
Kemli flew closer, and realized he was not using his wings.
Kemli... I am Saria... The sage of the forest. I have been waiting for you. My brethren, She says while pointing to the lights in the distance, Have been separated from me. I have been waiting for a user of magic to find me, because mages are the only people that can find the shards and put the disk back together. Kemli... You must find the shards.
Kemli: "Why me? There are countless others across Hyrule that use magic! Why not them?
You have been chosen Kemli, ever since we sensed you and you sensed the shards. Kemli. You are in mortal peril. Your earthly body is in danger. You must leave. But Kemli... the disc will not be safe when you complete it. Give it to the Man of Earth with the Heart of Light. The disc needs this guardian.
Kemli: But, who is he?! who is the man of earth?!
This is your journey Kemli, evil spirits now seek to steal these shards. Arise. Arise and protect us...
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Plu|Temple entrance|Nearing Dawn|Night 1
Plu clutched Kemli's sleeve.
Plu: Kemli! Kemli! wake up!
There was the ring of battle outside the temple. Nettle, who had been with Plu turned and flew out of the room, to help Yruti.
A small tear rolled down Plu's face and fell onto kemli's sleeve.
The battle died outside, and the twili walked into the temple.
The twili's sword came out of it's sheath and rested above Kemli's throat.
Twili: If anyone moves I will run my sword into the rito's throat 
Bennu, Night 1 (late night).
Temple ruins.'''
All was silent. Bennu scanned the area in search of friends and foes and saw two among the field. He was startled by the powers that have come into play within this first night. He felt a call, and swiftly made his way to the temple ruins, sure to be silent and quick.
As he came upon them, he found the blue creature that fought his friends blades in hand, holding the creature, Kemli, a hostage. Bennu quickly pulled out his shovel once more, jumped out of hiding, and using all of the energy he had on reserve, he disarmed the blue foe by smashing his sword with the shovel he had banged against the shield.
The shovel was made of ores unknown to the earth above. It remained untouched after the doings of the small Subrosian. And it had been effective and helpful to him. He then placed it among his back and stood. Just starring at the three for a response. Perhaps he had stunned them with his desperate attack to help out.
Just then, he heard the owl outside the ruins with the sound of the wind.
Yruti and Nettle, near dawn (night 1)
Temple ruins.'''
Yruti swept upwards and broke off the attack as he heard a loud noise from one side of the clearing. He seemed to break off the attack in perfect time too, as a pillar of ice rose in what was his assumed path. Circling several times, he attempted to find what had created the din, but no sign showed itself. 
Beneath him, the twili were mostly occupied. One of them was hit by Yruti's volley, a feather protruding from his shoulder. However, another spell was cast, and one of the twili disappeared, under the spells cloak. Suddenly, several shards of ice came shooting out of the ball of shadow. With a skillful spinning and diving maneuver, Yruti dodged the brunt of the barrage, suffering only several small scratches and bruises. 
Nettle came flying up to Yruti, his small knife in hand. "Ruti, one of those twili is going into the temple. Kemli needs help, he is unconscious."
"I don't have time to go help them, Nettle, these two aren't going to let me get off that easily." said Yruti.
"Well, lets finish with them, and than go help the bird-man."
Nettle darted off towards the two twili, using his meager amounts of magic to flash himself brighter, as both something to distract them, and blind them if he got close enough to their eyes. Yruti decided to give up on the charging technique, and instead dropped his pike on the two twili, causing them to be stunned momentarily. 
Regaining their composure, the twili began to fight back, they were warriors in an army, and no mere owl and fairy would stop them. 
Yruti and Nettle Easily dodged the bolts of energy the two twili continuously shot from their wands. Gaining bravery, Yruti swept down, and grabbed the wand from the wounded twili, forcing him to draw a sword. 
With only one twili launching attacks of magic now, and one flailing his weapon at the snickering Nettle, things seemed to be going good for the two flying creatures. 
Suddenly the entire clearing went silent. Dark forms began to stir in the air. They were spinning in circles, picking up speed, moving faster and faster. And than, they stopped. Any disturbances in the air around the two twili, owl, and fairy seemed to be gone. But the bodies of the dead twili began to rise. 
"Ruti, those were spirits, they are coming to take the object Kemli found, I'm sure of it." said Nettle, with a somewhat shocked expression. 
Yruti looked down at the two twili. "Warriors, it appears a greater foe has shown it's face, will you aid us now, and end this desecration of your own kind?"
Without waiting for their answer, he sped towards the temple's entrance, determined not to let even one twili corpse pass.
Bennu, near dawn (night 1)
Temple ruins.'''
Bennu turned to the entrance and waited no longer for this blue creature that was stunned by his blow. He moved out to the clearing he had been in earlier to see the bodies of the dead rising. He also heard the owl asking for the aid of the twili.
"A twili, eh?", Bennu stated to himself within the safety of his mind. "I must not attack them. The owl is wise, and it seems there is a problem at hand. I will fight only the dead. But why is something dead moving?", his mind raced to find an explanation for such happenings, but none could be found.
He searched near for a source of energy, for if he could find one, he could place the energy within himself.
Bennu quickly began his search as the dead continued to rise. He looked back to the creature that was being held hostage by the blue... "twili". He figured that he must have much energy still, for he was only unconscious.
Bennu reached out and drained Kemli's energy and placed it within himself. He then bowed in respect towards Kemli, and made his way out to the devastated field, where there, the dead became once again alive.
Day 1 (night)/ Epicenter area in the Ordona forest/ Vicks and Wedge (dark)
Now, Wedge didn’t had his rod, so he was holding his sword, and not even with his good hand. His right hand was numbed because of the electric feather that had hit his shoulder. Meanwhile, Vicks was using his shadow ball to attack the bird, but his spells were slow and the bird was quick. But at least they were keeping the bird and the fairy busy while Neon took care of the rest, surely he would soon finish with the rest of the enemies and come back. 
But suddenly, a huge amount of spiritual beings began to circle them, it was overwhelming. And then… the shock became horror. The dead corpses of their Twili comrades began to rise. Both of them were still in shock when they heard a voice:
"Warriors, it appears a greater foe has shown it's face, will you aid us now, and end this desecration of your own kind?"''
The owl was right they had to do something.
Wedge: SIR !!! COME OUT NOW!!!''
Day 1 (night)/ Epicenter area in the Ordona forest/ Neon Zelgadiz (dark)
Yes, Neon had realized the presence of a Minish, also he realized that the small creature was crying. His tears seemed honest and showed a deep concern. Usually, Neon’s enemies died before they had the chance to show any emotions, so despite all the battles he had fought, this was the first time he saw something like this. His enemies weren’t some kind of evil creatures after all, they had feelings. 
“I won’t hurt him if you don’t do anything stupid” Those were the words that Neon was about to say, when suddenly he realized that someone was about to attack him. His third eye saw the creature a few seconds ago, Neon had enough time to kill the Rito and then stab his attacker, but he was too submerged into his thoughts. He tried to swing his sword towards his enemy, but just as he lifted his sword from the Rito’s neck, his sword was hit by… a shovel??
Neon’s sword came out of his hand an flew a few feet. Neon was paralyzed, apparently, the shovel had some kind of spell that made him unable to move. The creature that attacked him walked towards the entrance of the temple, looked to the outside and the came back, it did something to the Rito and went to the temple entrance again.
Neon was able to move again, his body wasn’t stunned anymore. He quickly performed some back flips an grabbed his sword.
SIR !!! COME OUT NOW!!!
Wedge was desperately screaming. Neon rushed to the outside of the temple. As he passed by the creature, the thought of decapitating it crossed his mind, but Vicks and Wedge were his main concern at the moment.
Once Neon was at the outside of the temple, he saw the undead army surrounding them, it was incredible
Vicks: They’re possessed or something.
Wedge: They’re too many for us, we’ll need help… their help.
''
Wedge pointed at the owl and the fairy. Neon remained silent for a couple of seconds and then…
Neon: Fine... ATTACK !!!''
Kemli|Temple Entrance/Faron Woods|Dawn
Kemli felt life going back into his cold, unconscious body.
He felt oddly drained of energy and could not get his legs to move.
His hand hurt, but he couldn't tell why because his head would not turn.
Saria: Something happened to you when you picked up the shard. You have become fused with the shard. That is why I can still talk to you. A small creature, a subrosian, took your energy in order to protect you(I think). I am sorry he didn't know you would be able defend yourself. I do have some control over the shard's energy so I can revive you.
Kemli felt a surge of power, much like the one he got when he touched the shard.
Fire burned in his veins, and he was lifted off his feet, hovering about two inches off of the ground.
Plu: Kemli!!! You are finally awake! There are some nasty dead people who can alive! Quick! Quick! Get ready! They are coming!
As if on cue, a undead burst through a partially shattered stained glass window. It snarled, looked at Kemli's hand and charged.
The shard's magic had left kemli's body feeling refreshed and recharged. He concentrated the magic through his casting hand, which glowed brightly.
The undead creature burst into flames, before dissolving and sending a shower of sparks toward another creature.
Kemli looked down at his hand. The shard was imbedded inside his hand, glowing slightly.
Saria: When the time comes for you to give the shard to the man of earth, dip your hand into the magical waters of a great spirit's spring.
Kemli nodded briefly and then waved his hand absentmindedly towards an undead horror. It imploded and then turned into a cloud of green sparks.
Plu: Look out behind you!
One of the undead had come silently through one of the old doors of the inner temple, it was not a twili, but a hylian wearing highly ranked battle armor.
Kemli dissolved the creature and took its armor. He then turned the armor white hot and reshaped it into a sword. Using magic, he made it orbit around his body, still burning hot.
He then walked out of the temple. Battle was happening, and it was chaotic.
Yruti and Nettle, day 2 (dawn).
Temple ruins.'''
Several animated corpses came running at Yruti simultaneously, from where he was at the temple entrance, he saw that staying at ground level would be fruitless for him, ending in what would most likely be death... or worse. Flying higher, he perched on a severed pillar, and let his feathers fly. They seemed to do little damage, other than slowing the undead down, so he decided to throw some electricity into it as well. He watched as he filled an ambitious corpse full of charged feathers, it's whole body began to twitch, and than it fell to the ground. 
Now, that's more like it, Yruti thought to himself, as he hoped from his perch. He flew above the horde, letting his missiles fly the whole time, causing a slight amount of chaos within the ranks.
Nettle was having less luck with the dead warriors. So he decided to pickpocket them instead. Considering the amount of undead to choose from, Nettle had quite the variety of spoils to go through. He also had a good amount of deciding between spoils to do. Finding a small nook in the wall of the temple, he set to work. A key, Useful, but where is the chest or door? besides, I know how to pick locks. A polished stone, very nice. A small charm, yes, yes. A ceremonial dagger, pretty, but much to big. I don't need it anyway. A small reed pipe, It has it's uses. A brass wristband, Yruti might like this. 
Mistaking Wedge for one of the undead, Nettle fluttered over to him, an plucked a wrinkled scroll from his pocket. Curious about what the scroll said, he flew back to his treasure cranny and read:
By Order of the Command of the Twili Imperial Army Forces
Grand General Lord Grem
Hear Ye All Denizens of This World!
With the Elimination of the Ordona Standing Army, We Twili set Our eyes upon Hyrule Proper. We send a Call-To-Arms to all able fighters. Mercenaries are Invited to Join the Twili Army under Commander Maydni. All Loot and Spoils are to be Considered Payment, Taxation Free!
All able-bodied Twili can report to their nearest Imperial Army Barracks for Voluntary Service Enrollment and Training if they wish to Serve their Empire and win Power and Name for themself in the Annals of History.
So it is written and so it shall be. Those of Learning Should read this Writ to the Unlearned; All are Welcome in Conquest.
Well! Look at this... Finding the scroll to be of great interest, he stashed it away with the rest of his plunder. 
Deciding that it was time to actually help those who were fighting, Nettle looked around for his friends and the twili. The first form he spotted was the cloaked creature Yruti had pulled from the stream. It was engaged in a battle with quite a few dead soldiers, keeping them at bay with a shovel. And it seemed to be doing quite a good job at just that. Nettle flew down to see if he could offer it any assistance. 
Yruti was actually beginning to enjoy himself. The spirits inhabiting the dead bodies became overly annoyed by his dodging away, keeping just out of their range, and his harassment of electricity. Eventually, several of them learned how bows worked, and they began shooting arrows at him. Considering the fact that they had only newly become acquainted with twili weaponry, they were not very proficient, and had poor aim. Despite this, they still caused a nuisance for Yruti. Than, an undead carrying a Zora crafted pike trotted below Yruti. 
"Hey, that's mine!", shouted the enraged owl. 
Flying low, hey grasped what he could of the pike in his talons, and pulled himself into the air, bringing pike and undead along with him. Flapping furiously, he rose into the air, and found a patch of generally clear ground beneath him, upon which he promptly dropped his load. The angry owl wasn't finished yet though, oh no. Bringing up as much electrical power around him as he could, he dove towards the struggling undead, whose legs were know broken. He released most of the charge on impact. The undead stopped struggling to stand. 
Despite his determination and anger, Yruti still was not able to retrieve his pike. Even in it's second death, the dead twili still would not release it's stubborn grip on the pike. Glaring in frustration, he picked the corpse from the ground, and draped it over a crumbling wall, determined to deal with it later. 
Spying out his twili allies, Yruti glided over to them. "Warriors, there are to many of these abominations. I am in general safety from the air, but you are much more hard-pressed. We must all regroup at the temple's entrance, there we can make our stand! Hurry, I don't know how much time we have left." 
Yruti than flew back to the entrance, remembering to check on Kemli, dearly hoping that the bird-man was out of harm's reach.
Bennu, day 2 (dawn)
Temple ruins.'''
As Bennu watched the dead soldiers rise, he saw the owl fighting them off with electrically charged feathers. He pondered for a moment, but his moment was disturbed as one of the soldiers stood before him, and took a swing at the small Subrosian.
The soldiers efforts were slow, but if you got hit by the sword of one, it could prove to be fatal. Bennu quickly dashed off to a nearby spot that seemed to be clear of the risen foes. There in that spot he found a few that have not awakened yet. He quickly grabbed their swords and shields, and whatever else that looked like it could be of danger to him, and hid them within the nearby forest.
He returned to his clearing to find the dead soldiers beginning to awake. With shovel in hand, he began to relentlessly swipe at the legs, hoping to disarm them from the ability to walk. And he was successful. The bodies fell back to the ground in a struggle to stand. It wasn't working well for them, and Bennu was satisfied. So he quickly moved on to more soldiers laying on the ground. He repeated the process, still holding shovel in hand in case of a surprise attack.
The soldiers fell as he swept at their legs. But this soon became boring to Bennu. He decided to move on to somehting of more challenge. Maybe something not as tedious as well. How about a moving and armed soldier. Yes, that would be much more enjoyable.
Bennu ran over to an armed soldier. He focused just the smallest amount of energy into his shovel, and suprised the undead with a smash to the back.
As it struck the soldier, his armor flashed white as he fell. It somewhat startled Bennu, hoping he didn't use too much energy. But with relief, Bennu found an electrically charged feather submerged in the armor of the foe.
Bennu looked up to the owl but he was not to be found. He gazed off into the distance to find him there flying with a soldier attached to his intricate weapon. He seemed to set the dead soldier down, leaving him with his weapon.
Hmmm why would he leave his weapon with the soldier? But he left his thoughts, for the owl probably had it all figured out.
He then saw what he was looking for. An armored soldier with a great sword.
== The Adventure Seriously Still Keeps Going ==
As soon as Neon issued the attack order, he rushed towards the undead army. As soon as he approached them his third eye confirmed what Vicks said, something was possessing the bodies of their fallen comrades. 
Before entering the temple, Neon was absolutely sure, there wasn't any trace of life in the corpses, but now, his third eye was seeing something different, different and unique. There was vital energy running thru the corpses, but it was a strange energy, it was… blurry. Before this moment, his third eye hadn't seen a blurry image, everything it had seen was always sharp and clear. But it didn't matter, even if it was blurry, Neon was able to see them, and apparently, they couldn't use spells, they weren't a real threat. 
Neon was just in front of the nearest corpse, but instead of attacking it, Neon evade it and kept running and evading them until he suddenly stopped. Now, he was completely surrounded by corpses, just as he wanted. 
Neon unsheathed his katana, and then… it began. Each time Neon swung his sword, one of the corpse's limb fell to the floor. Every time one of the corpses swung it's weapon, Neon dodged it just a fraction of a second before it could touch him, it didn't matter if they attacked him from the back, the front or the sides, none of them could touch him. 
Sometimes, Neon's attacks seemed completely random, sometimes they seemed to be coldly calculated, sometimes they looked like a dance. He didn't seem to have any particular sword style. The truth was that he had already mastered several styles and created his own, based on all the others. 
He wasn't good, he was excellent, and he should. He had spent almost every single day of his life learning and improving his skills since he was 6 years old. That was everything he knew, in a way… it was sad. 
Wedge used his healing spell to take care of his wounded shoulder. Without his rod, his spell wasn't very strong, but it was better than nothing. While he was doing that, Vicks was throwing shadow balls at the corpses, occasionally, he also used his electric spell to defeat them. 
Once Wedge's shoulder was better, he started to fight with his sword, he wasn't very good with it, but luckily, neither were his enemies. At some point, he thought one of he corpses had touched him, but he was wrong, so he didn't pay much attention to it. 
Owl: Warriors, there are to many of these abominations. I am in general safety from the air, but you are much more hard-pressed. We must all regroup at the temple's entrance, there we can make our stand! Hurry, I don't know how much time we have left. 
''
Neon heard the owl, but he thought that retreating was unnecessary, after all… with enough time, he could handle the situation by himself. But then… Neon saw one of the corpses grabbing a bow and an arrow, aiming at him and shooting. Neon easily intercepted the arrow with his sword, but he knew that if some other corpse shot at him, not from the front but from the back, he would be in troubles. So he decided to retreat. 
Neon: Retreat to the temple!!! 
''
While Neon rushed to the temple, he saw Wedge's rod lying on the ground, he quickly took it and went to the temple. Once the three soldiers were at the temple's entrance and Wedge had his rod back, Neon told them. 
Neon: We could use some extra time. Combo #6. 
''
Wedge touched the ground with his rod, concentrated for a moment, and then said "Hielo". A big portion of the area surrounding the temple entrance was covered with ice, many of the corpses slipped and fell. Then, Vicks used his electric spell, "Rayo" on the ice. The electricity quickly traveled thru the ice, shocking any corpse on it. 
The soldiers entered the temple. 
Ordona Temple/ Faron Woods|Dawn|Kemli
Yruti entered the temple, along with the three twili.
Kemli shouldered past the twili, they exchanged sharp glares, and walked to the entrance of the temple. Outside a sheet of ice covered the ground and undead precariously slipped on around on the slippery surface. Kemli decided to test the shard's power, and cast an ordinary fireball at an undead. *Whoosh!* Kemli was knocked off his feet by the power of the shockwave, and the undead were much less fortunate. The undead which he had aimed at was nowhere to be seen, and several other burned husks lay on the floor. A sizzling arm lay next to kemli. He then walked through the puddle(which had once been ice) and the sword, before sheathed came out of his robes and continued it's endless circle about him. Before Kemli even had time to cast another spell, four undead had been claimed by the blade.
The next spell Kemli chose was a area affect spell. The undead that were hit with this spell would shoot of more magic in different directions, before exploding into dust. Aiming at a large group, Kemli launched the spell and watched it decimate the whole group. 
Kemli had been taught both light and dark magics, and had a small amount of necromancy under his belt. He focused in on one of the undead, to see if he could take control of it's soul. The only problem was, it didn't have a soul. The force that controlled it's body because very weak, and died along with the body. Before The soul had vanished Kemli noticed something. The "soul" had been possessed by a very powerful object, full of light magic. He then realized something. The shard? Yes. It all made sense. The undead protected the shard, but were also corrupted by something. The ordinary guardians would have let him pass because he was the one who was assigned to rebuild the disk.
The only way to stop the undead was to find the source of the corruption and destroy it or convert it.
Yruti and Nettle, Dawn (Day 2)
Temple ruins.'''
Yruti was somewhat surprised by Kemli's appearance. He had only just entered the temple with the three twili when the bird-man shouldered past them. His eyes were glowing with fires, the aura of magic surrounded him, and a sword hovered at his side. 
"Kemli, stop, don't go out there, their are too many." Yruti said, taking a peek out of an opening in the wall. The undead were learning, becoming accustomed to their new bodies and weapons. Kemli didn't seem to hear, instead he muttered something about some weakness. "What about the magical artifact?, Kemli!" 
Kemli was outside of the temple than, his sword spinning in circles about him, and a fireball erupting from his hands. 
Yruti turned hopelessly towards the twili. "We came here to search for an artifact of some sort... I don't see anything left to do but go out and help Kemli, or look for the artifact ourselves." He stopped to think for a moment. "Wait, where is Nettle?"
------------------------
Nettle saw the small cloaked creature rush at a armored warrior, courageously brandishing his shovel. Getting an idea, Nettle rushed off and took one last thing from the undead, a roll of string. Flying through the undead, he darted back and forth, tying the string to as many ankles as he could find. Finally, he tied the string to the ankle of the undead soldier that the creature was fighting. 
Undead struggled to pull away from each other, further tangling themselves, untill they all went down in a heap. This should make easy work for the shovel wielder, Nettle thought to himself as he beamed with pride. 
Hearing another commotion, he looked back at the temple entrance, only to see an angry Kemli storming out. 
Day 2 (Dawn)/ Epicenter area in the Ordona forest/ Neon Zelgadiz (dark)
Owl: We came here to search for an artifact of some sort... I don't see anything left to do but go out and help Kemli, or look for the artifact ourselves.
Owl: Wait, where is Nettle?
''
Artifact? That sounded… promising. Maybe it was something powerful, maybe this was Neon's chance to get promoted a couple of ranks. But of course, it might be just a waste of time. Well… there was only one way to find out. But… What was this artifact? Where was it? How was it used? Apparently, these people could be useful to Neon. At the time being, he needed them alive. Specially that Rito named Kemli, judging by the owl's words, he seemed to be the most knowledgeable about the artifact.
Neon: Well, let's help him then.''
Bennu, Dawn (Day 2)
Temple ruins.'''
Bennu faced the great warrior, as it turned in his direction. Yes, this will be quite satisfactory. He then reached out with his energy, and tried to drain the warrior. But, there seemed to be some sort of wall. A shield enveloping the giant soldier.
Just then, the small... odd burning ember was spotted stealing some string from one of the soldiers. Bennu watched as it tied up many of the soldiers' ankles. He found it humorous as they struggled to escape from the wits of the ember.
It was perfect. Bennu knocked over the large warrior and began to pry his armor off with his shovel. The armor was tightly placed on the soldier. It took a great effort for Bennu to pull the first piece off, and as he did, a sword came down beside him. Bennu jumped away and found that a few of the soldiers had cut themselves loose of the twine's grasp. But some had been killed due to the angry soldiers trying to free themselves from the wits of the ember.
The large warrior was tangled and unable to move. I must come back for this armor. There is something special about it. With that, Bennu tried one last time to steal the soldiers energy, and only got the smallest amount. The soldier fell silent, and struggled no more.
Bennu ran to where the others formed a group, and pointed to the warrior lying dead on the ground.
Kemli|Faron Woods/Temple|Dawn
Outside of the temple, Kemli grew weary of battling the undead. For some reason the spirits were all similar, and they would return to the temple when he killed their bodies. Kemli viewed his chances. Either magic his way out of the undead or go back inside the temple to find what was controlling the undead. He picked the later. A careless undead got a little bit to close to him, and was slashed into oblivion.
Getting an idea, Kemli called Plu up to his shoulder. Speaking to the little minish, he let his plans known. 
Kemli: "We should go back to the temple, place wards so these undead will stop attacking us, and move into the temple to find whatever is turning these spirits chaotic."
Kemli walked with plu back into the temple, and they started to place wards around the entrance to the temple. Kemli watched in satisfaction as the undead attempted to break through the wards, slashing their weapons and shooting arrows at it. They wouldn't be getting anywhere in the near future. 
Looking back at the odd group assembled near him, he stated his intentions. 
Kemli: "I'm going to search the temple for whatever it is controlling these beasts... you can come with me if you wish."
Yruti and Nettle, Day 2 (Morning).
Temple ruins.'''
Yruti looked at Kemli as he stood there, arms crossed, a determined expression set into his face. The three twili stood by, waiting for some sort of signal. The cloaked creature also waited, but he was pointing towards the body of a fallen undead, this one had a finely crafted suit of armor on. The creature seemed to want the armor. 
Turning to Kemli, Yruti asked him to wait. "Kemli, wait, before you go, our little friend has some special interest with that armor over there." 
Kemli turned towards the armor, and pointed at it. A small ball of energy sprung from his finger, passed through the wards, and hit the armor, instantly melting into it. The armor flickered, and appeared at Kemli's feet. 
"This armor?" He asked. 
The Subrosian bowed in gratitude. 
Flying next to the armor, Nettle gave it a thorough examination. "Hmm... I can see my our 'little' friend had such an interest with it, this armor holds some sort of energy barrier. I can't see why he wanted it though, it's much to large an heavy for him. Well, we could leave it here, unless one of you twili would like to use it."
Yruti looked towards Kemli. "Well, I'm going with you... what exactly are we looking for?"
Day 2 (Morning)/ Temple of time/ Neon Zelgadiz (dark)
Neon had the intention to get out of the temple and fight the undead (again) to help the Rito named Kemli. But apparently, that wouldn't be necessary. The Rito folded back to the temple as well and, with the help of the minish, placed some kind of wards to protect the entrance. 
Kemli: "I'm going to search the temple for whatever it is controlling these beasts... you can come with me if you wish." 
''
Beasts? Apparently, this guy wasn't better than the Hylian royalty, insulting those that by some reason they considered inferior. But right now it didn't matter. 
The owl and the Rito talked about an armor which was magically transported to the temple. 
Fairyi: " Hmm... I can see my our 'little' friend had such an interest with it, this armor holds some sort of energy barrier. I can't see why he wanted it though, it's much to large an heavy for him. Well, we could leave it here, unless one of you twili would like to use it." 
Neon: Thanks, but that isn't necessary. 
Neon: I'm Lieutenant Neon from the Twili army, these are Vicks and Wedge. Most of the Ordon forest is now Twili territory. So… exactly who are you and what are you doing here?''
Kemli|Faron Temple|Morning
Owl: "I'm going with you, Birdman... What exactly are we looking for?"
Neon: "Im Lieutenant Neon from the twili army, and these two are named Vicks and Wedge. Most of the Ordon forest is Twili territory. Who are you and what is your purpose here?"
Kemli: "I will answer your question in due time twili. Be patient. We are looking for an object or creature that has been controlling the undead. I strongly believe that this thing rests inside the temple. There were originally spirits guarding the temple, but they have been trapped by some sort of evil power. I wish to get rid of the object so I can move on and complete my journey.
Plu: "We have set wards around the temple so the beasts will not be a bother to us."
Kemli: "Now Twili, I can answer your questions. I do not have a name to give you. My purpose is my own. I can tell you I am a follower of the Great Faerie and the Three Goddesses. I am sometimes called Kemli, although that is not my true name. Your true name is not "Neon" so I shall address you as Twili. There is much to be done. Let us move."
And with that Kemli walked to the door on the far side of the room and walked into the temple, not waiting to see if the others would follow.
Day 2 (Morning)/ Temple of time/ Neon Zelgadiz (dark)
Kemli: Now Twili, I can answer your questions. I do not have a name to give you. My purpose is my own. I can tell you I am a follower of the Great Faerie and the Three Goddesses. I am sometimes called Kemli, although that is not my true name. Your true name is not "Neon" so I shall address you as Twili. There is much to be done. Let us move. 
Neon: …
Vicks: Twili? I see, apparently, Birdie thinks names are overrated. He’s “sooo cool”.
''
Great Fairy? That sounded interesting. And something from inside the temple was controlling the corpses. Neon definitely had to go inside the temple. 
After hearing Kemli’s response to his questions, Neon looked at the rest of the creatures waiting for their responses.
Yruti and Nettle, day 2(morning).
Temple ruins.'''
"There is much to be done. Let us move.", said Kemli, right before storming into the temple. 
Yruti watched him walk into the temple, so he made his decision. He looked at the twili and Subrosian. "Well..." he shrugged "let's go."
And with that, Yruti and Nettle flew through the entrance, attempting to catch up with Kemli. 
Bennu
 Bennu bowed to Kemli, and stood beside the owl waiting. 
Day 2 (Morning)/ Temple of time/ Neon Zelgadiz (dark)
Owl: Well... let's go.
Vicks: These guys seem to be even less talkative than you Neon.
Neon: ... Let’s go.
 
== 
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
 ==
So far, the only thing that Neon knew, was that “something” inside the temple was using the corpses to attack them. And apparently, if he wanted to know more, he would have to follow the peculiar group formed by a Rito named Kemli, a talking owl, a minish, a fairy and an unknown creature. Neon and his men followed the rest of the group. 
Kemli|Temple of Time|Morning|Day 2
Kemli looked around the room. Light shown through large stained glass windows, but most of them were scorched. The structure would have been very beautiful if not for the blackened marble floors and bodies. Two statues stood parallel to the stairs, one looked as if its arm would fall off. They each carried a trident, and the one on the right was missing the top prong. A cool breeze blew through on of the shattered windows. Kemli walked up the stairs, he did not feel like wasting magic so he tryed to push the door open himself. It was stuck. 
"A little help here? Yruti? Neon?" Kemli asked.
He started to push on it again, and he heard a strange noise from the center of the room. A small crack opened in the roof, and bright morning light shone in...
The crack widened...
 "SOMEONE HELP ME GET THIS DOOR OPEN! THE ROOF IS FALLING DOWN!" yelled Kemli.  
Yruti and Nettle, Day 2 (morning).
Temple of time ruins.'''
"SOMEONE HELP ME GET THIS DOOR OPEN! THE ROOF IS FALLING DOWN!" yelled Kemli. 
Both Nettle and Yruti reacted quickly to the sight of the widening crack in the ceiling, rushing for cover as several large chunks of ceiling dropped from the heights. 
Nettle flew over to examine the door, "Hmm... it's lock could be opened by some form of trigger..." He looked around the room, taking in every detail. Several torches lined the walls of the room, all of them unlit. Flying to the torch nearest to the door, Nettle began to concentrate deeply. Slowly, his body began to glow brighter, a bright star in a crumbling temple. Gradually, energy began to build up in front of him, until a small green flame popped into existence, and floated to the torch. Finding a place to rest, the flame burst in proportion, letting the torch vibrantly flicker. 
The door began to rumble, and than ground open.
 Yruti leaped from his cover, hurtling through the doorway, hoping that the others would follow suite.  
Day 2 (Morning)/ Temple of time/ Neon Zelgadiz (dark)
Kemli: A little help here? Yruti? Neon?
''
Kemli called Neon by his name, that was a start. Neon looked at Wedge, and immediately, he began to examine the wall next to the door looking for some sort of weak spot (he had the intention of freezing it so Vicks could destroy it).
Suddenly, the roof began to crack.
Kemli: SOMEONE HELP ME GET THIS DOOR OPEN! THE ROOF IS FALLING DOWN!!
''
As soon as Wedge heard those words, he started to charge an ice spell.
Unlike Wedge, Neon and Vicks weren’t particularly close to any wall, so they had to dodge the chunks of ceiling as best as they could. Vicks wasn’t as fast or agile as Neon, so Neon pulled him and pushed him a couple of times in order to help him avoid the falling rocks. 
Meanwhile, the fairy cast a spell to lit one of the torches in the room, and then, the door opened. Neon and Vicks tried to get to the door, but as they approached it, the floor suddenly fell apart. 
With no floor under their feet, Neon and Vicks fell into the darkness of an apparently bottomless pit. Only one thing was heard as they disappeared.
Vicks: OH CRAP!!!
''
After several seconds, Neon did the first thing that came to his mind. He Grabbed Vicks with his right hand, unsheathed his sword with the left hand and then concentrated his dark energy into it, just as he would do it to perform a Dark Slash, but instead of releasing the technique, he used the charged sword to thrust the wall. 
The sudden stop and Vicks's weight caused a huge pain in Neon’s arms and shoulders, they were obviously injured now, but at least they were alive. Now they were hanging form a sword inserted into a wall somewhere inside a dark pit… Now what?
Now Wedge arrives. He was sliding on some sort of spiraling ice path/slope. 
Wedge: Are you ok ?!
Neon: … We’re alive… for now.
Vicks: You know… This is the part when you save our asses.
''
Wedge concentrated for a moment and then released an ice spell again. This time he created a big ice tile just below Vicks’s feet, it covered the whole pit from wall to wall. As soon as the new “floor” was created, Neon dropped Vicks and unclasped the sword. He could move his fingers but the rest of his arms and hands didn’t respond to him anymore. Wedge would have to heal him, but first, they needed to have a solid floor.
Now, the three twili were standing on the improvised ice floor, around 110 yards underground. Neon walked along the walls hoping to find any signs of life on the other side of one of them. Apparently, there was another room on the other side of the wall where Neon and Wedge had been hanging a moment ago. Neon knew this because his third eye saw some spiders on the walls of the next room. 
 After charging a spell for a moment, Wedge froze the wall, and then Vicks used a fire spell to vaporize it. The three twili went thru the “new door” and entered another room. 
Bennu, Day 2 (morning).
Temple of time ruins.'''
The ceilings crashed down as everyone frantically tried to open the door. Bennu dodged the falling rocks, and quickly ran under a protective shelf. He sat there, and watched the ember as it glowed so bright. He had never seen such thing. It then produced a small burning flame... and the door opened.
Bennu sprinted over to the door. However, small chunk of the ceiling knocked Bennu to the ground taking precious seconds from him. He stood up once again, wincing as the pain shot up his spinal column.
The door then began to close, just as quickly as it had opened. And everyone quickly piled in. Bennu mustered all the energy he could find, and with great speed, ran to the door. Two of three that Bennu had seen in the clearing, had gone into a crevasse after watching their friend fall to his death. But Bennu kept going, for there was nothing he could do now.
When he arrived, the door had closed, and all of the ceiling was about to fall. But it seemed something was protecting him. Almost like, a guardian angel holding it up for him. For what purpose, he was not sure. But one thing he was sure of, was to get inside wherever this door led to.
With that in mind, Bennu removed his shovel. He placed the head strategically to pry it open. With all his strength and will power he could supply, it seemed as if it was not enough. The door refused.
Bennu spotted the small flame that the ember had produced. He looked in his satchel and quickly pulled out a roll of parchment that had drawings of the underground among their surface. He sighed, and lit the maps on fire. He blew out the flame that was inhabiting the torch, and replaced it with the one that had taken the ends of his parchment, leaving them with burnt edges.
The door opened just enough for the Subrosian to get in. Bennu dropped the maps and sprinted for the door. He reached the inside where there stood the others gazing back at him. He then realized right as the door closed: If anyone finds those maps, and comes upon my opening to the underground in the field... Then they would have great leverage and power. I only hope that no one finds the maps among these ruins. 
Kemli|Temple of Time|Midmorning|Day 2
Kemli looked around the room. In the center of the room, in a stone pedestal sat a sword. It was the most magnificent weapon Kemli had ever seen. The room was round, with stained glass windows all around the sides. He looked across the room to find some sort of entrance to the temple. There was none. Obviously, there was some sort of magic that they had to find.
I wonder if nettle can use echolocation?
 Kemli:Nettle, is there any way you can echolocate? I am absolutely sure there is a hidden entrance here... 
Yruti and Nettle, day 2 (Midmorning).
Inner temple of time ruins.'''
"Nettle, is there any way you can echolocate? I am absolutely sure there is a hidden entrance here..." Kemli asked. 
"Echolocate? Do I look like a bat? Why would I be able to echolocate?" Kemli looked down, slightly blushing at Nettle's proclamation. Nettle continued "No, I am not a bat, but I am a fairy, I can tell you anything you need to know. THis is the temple of time, one of Hyrule's most sacred temples. This place is full of hidden puzzles, trap, and yes, entrances. Luckily, I can feel where most of them are, and we should have little problem navigating around them. Also, if we get close enough, I will be able to sense exactly where this thing you are searching for is. Oh, and I don't know if you really care, but our twili 'friends' are moderately safe and unharmed."
Nettle flew around the room, stopping next to a wall. "Now... this wall has a passage on the other side... If we could just figure out how to open it..." 
Yruti scanned the room, and saw several standing torches. "Maybe another torch? It could be the same kind of trigger as the last door."
"No, it's something different... there is some sort of switch in here, I just have to find it's location." stated Nettle.
Just than, the door they had come through slid open, and the Subrosian dashed through. 
 Yruti looked at it as it turned back for a second, as if it wanted to go back out. "Well, it seems our little friend wasn't crushed by a falling ceiling after all. Maybe you could help us find the switch." He thought for a second. "I wonder if it can even understand me." 
Day 2 (Morning)/ Temple of time/ Neon Zelgadiz (dark) 
The room was dark, very dark. That was to be expected of course, the Twili soldiers were 20 floors underground after all. Luckily for them, Wedge was able to illuminate the room by using a light spell to create a flare. 
Many spiders were walking around the room, but they didn't look too dangerous. 
Vicks killed them by alternating his shadow, lighting, and fire spells. Meanwhile, Wedge was healing Neon's arms. Despite not having any offensive spells, Wedge was a powerful wizard, his shadow, light/healing and ice spells had proven to be quite useful many times in the past. 
After a few moments of treatment, Neon's arms seemed to be fully recovered. However, Neon had lost his sword. He would have to settle with Wedge's sword for a while, it was a little small for Neon's tastes, and it wasn't a Katana. And of course, Wedge would be in troubles if he had to fight in close combat, but they didn't have many choices at the moment. 
Wedge: Your arms should be fine now, sir. 
Neon: Thanks 
Vicks: So… now what? 
Neon: Well, usually there are valuable treasures hidden inside the depths of temples like this one. So… there's a good chance we'll find something valuable here, lets go. 
''
The room had 2 doors (and the hole the twili used to get in), both of them were closed. Neon and his companions had just started to examine the room when a spider jumped at Vicks. Vicks reacted on time and used his rod to hit the spider. Somehow, he missed that one when he killed the others. 
As soon as the last spider died, both doors opened, and for a moment, Vicks thought he had heard a slightly familiar musical tune coming from somewhere, surely it was just his imagination. 
 Neon picked one of the doors, and the three soldiers entered a new room.  
Day 2 (Morning)/ Temple of time/ Neon Zelgadiz (dark) 
The new room was also completely dark, so Wedge cast his light spell again. Once the flare was created, it revealed a huge room, it was the biggest they had seen inside the temple so far. Several unlighted torches were spread across the room as well as some stone cubes, some mirrors and a few circular metallic grills on the walls. Also, some of the stone walls had strange indentations (it seemed like some kind of clockwork could fit in them) leading to unreachable platforms. There was only another door in the room, it was closed. 
Wedge: I think all of these contraptions are part of a mechanism to open the door. 
Neon: Yeah… Wedge, Vicks… Make a hole next to the door. 
Vicks: Sure. 
Wedge: Yes, sir. 
''
Once again, the wizards cast their ice and fire spells to make a hole through the wall, but its thickness made the process slower than the last time. Twenty minutes later, Wedge had completely frozen a small part of the wall, this time he was visible tired, he had been casting spells all day. Then, Vicks cast his fire spell to finally create the hole. As soon as the fire melted the ice, a ray of light went through the hole. Unlike the others, the next room was already illuminated. The soldiers crawled through the small hole, Neon could barely fit in there. 
This room was almost empty, there were only a couple of already lit torches and a curved stairway leading down. The Twili were walking down the stairs when four armored dinalfos spot them. 
Neon ran towards one of them, the creature swung his axe but Neon quickly dodged it by rolling below it. Now Neon was crouched behind the creature, back to back. Before the dinalfo could react, Neon cut off the tail of the beast, stood up, and turned to the beast at the same time he severed its head. 
The second dinalfo attempted to hit Neon's head with a forward thrust of his spear, but Neon dodged it by moving his head backwards, the spear missed by less than the half of an inch. Neon swung his sword at the same time he rotated his body, now the throat of the creature had been slashed. 
A lighting coming from Vicks's rod hit the third beast, killing it immediately. Before the second dinalfo fell to the floor, Neon grabbed it's spear with his right hand and used it to pierce the head of the fourth beast through its mouth. 
Once the way was clear, the Twili resumed their descent and arrived to another room. This time, it seemed to be some sort of throne room. The room was old and dusty, but even in better days it would lacked the pretentiousness and magnificence that characterized the royalty. The floor was carpeted and it was almost empty except for a modest throne in the middle of it. Sitting in the throne, rested the corpse of a person wearing a crown, but judging by the clothes it was wearing, it wasn't a king but some sort of sage, elder or high wizard. On each side of the throne there was a small pedestal, and on top of each pedestal there was a metal sphere. The spheres seemed identical, about 12 inches of diameter, and strange markings over them. There was a closed door on the other side of the room. 
The Twili walked towards the corpse, but suddenly, the corpse stood up and it's crown started to emit a mysterious green/yellow light. An then the metal spheres melted, however, the amount of liquid seemed to be greater than the mass of the original spheres. The metal liquid solidified and formed what looked like a couple of magically animated mechanical warriors. 
Wedge: What is this? 
Neon:… 
  
Vicks: Oh crap!   
Day 2 (Morning)/ Temple of time/ Neon Zelgadiz (dark)
Neon ran towards one of the mechanical warriors, the automaton tried to attack him but Neon dodged the blow and then thrust his sword into the “face” of his enemy. The tip of the sword broke, and apparently, it didn’t have any effect. Again, the creature attacked Neon, Neon did a back flip to avoid any damage and then returned to the side of the wizards.
Neon: Vicks, take care of them.
''
Apparently, those creatures couldn’t be damaged with a sword, so Neon couldn’t do much in those circumstances. 
For a moment, Vicks charged a powerful shadow ball and then cast it on one of the mechanical beings. The automaton fully received the impact of the spell, but nothing happened. A couple of seconds later it raised his hand towards the Twili and shot a shadow ball at them. Vicks was able to jump to his right and avoid the shadow ball, Neon jumped over Wedge knocking him to the floor and the spell passed over them and then crashed against the stairway behind them.
Vicks took some distance from his companions and then cast a weak fire spell. Once again, the creature received the impact and then raised his hand towards Vicks an then shot a fireball, Vicks intercepted the fireball with another fireball.
It was clear now, the mechanical warriors had the ability to absorb magic spells and then shoot them back. Neon’s sword couldn’t harm them, Vicks’s spells were being returned and Wedge didn’t have any offensive spells. The Twili were in serious problems.
Neon: Dark Slash.
''
Neon’s Dark Slash wasn’t aimed at any of the Mechanical warriors, it was aimed at the corpse standing behind them. However, one of the warriors quickly covered the corpse, absorbed the spell and the shot it back at Neon. Neon tilted his body to avoid the Dark Slash. 
The mechanical beings were protecting the corpse, and the corpse hadn’t done anything since the battle started. Apparently, the mechanical warriors were puppets controlled by corpse. But who or what was controlling the corpse? Anyway, the only thing they could do at the moment, was to destroy the corpse.
Neon ran toward the warriors again, but this time he positioned himself between the two puppets. Both of the puppets attacked Neon. Neon, holding his position, dodged and blocked the swords of the puppets. Meanwhile, Vicks charged a shadow ball, and once he was sure that he could hit the target, shot his spell. As soon as the shadow ball impacted the body, it exploded and several pieces of the corpse flew thru the air. The mechanical puppets melted and then formed spheres and solidified again. 
Wedge: Those puppets were too powerful. 
Vicks: Yeah, we couldn’t even scratch them, literally.
Neon: We need to find a way to open that door.
''
Neon was conscious that Wedge needed to rest for a while before casting anymore spells, so they had to look for a way to open the door. The soldiers examined the room, they couldn’t find anything that they hadn’t already seen, the only difference in the room were the zombie pieces, the crown and the spheres scattered on the floor. Eventually, Vicks found something. There was a small switch on the right arm of the throne, as soon as Vicks pressed it, the door opened. 
The door lead the Twili to a corridor, on each of its sides, there was a row of small pedestals each one had a metal sphere. On the other side of the corridor there was an open door leading to a dark room. The Twili were obviously worried about all those spheres, after all, they could melt and attack them at any moment.
Neon: Wait here.
''
Neon walked thru the corridor, by the time he reached the dark entrance, he had counted 34 spheres in total. He signaled Vicks and Wedge, and they went thru the corridor, now all of the Twili were at the other side. Neon stepped into the dark room, but as soon as foot touched the floor, the whole room illuminated. It was a huge room, and at its center, there was a huge sphere, it was slightly taller than Neon. Unlike the others, it was made of metal AND stone.
Vicks: Oh crap.
''
If that sphere worked in the same way the others did, it could probably spawn a mechanical puppet as big as a mountain. 
The Twili soldiers stood still for a few minutes, fearing that the sphere would melt and transform into a huge nightmare. Eventually, Neon started to slowly walk toward the sphere. He got really close to the sphere and touched it… nothing happened. Apparently, it was safe.
Several yards behind the sphere, there was a cylindrical cage that reached the ceiling. Neon approached it, it had an open door and inside the cage there was a circular platform on the floor. Neon stepped into the platform and looked at the ceiling, apparently, he was standing on some short of elevator leading to upper levels in the temple. But how did it work? There wasn’t any switch to activate it.
Neon: This is an elevator, we need to find a way to activate it.
Vicks: *sigh* Zoombies, bottomless pits, spiders, dynalfos, mechanical warriors, hidden switches… *sigh* Mondays…
''
Besides the sphere and the cage, there were six diamond shaped crystals on small platforms, those were the only objects in the room. The walls were adorned by several murals representing different scenes. Vicks looked at them carefully.
On the first mural, a person dressed like the corpse he had destroyed a few moments ago, was casting a spell, apparently, it was a wizard. In the second scene, the wizard was putting a crown on his head. In the third scene, the crown was emitting some light, there were several mechanical beings kneeling before the wizard. 
On another wall, another mural depicted similar scenes. The first scene was identical to the first scene on the other mural, in the second scene the wizard was holding a rod in one of his hands. In the third scene, the rod was emitting some light, there were several beings that looked like statues kneeling before the wizard.
On the third wall, the mural had only one scene. The wizard was holding the rod on his hand and the crown rested on his head, both of them were shining and a HUGE golem made of stone and metal was kneeling before him. Next to the drawings, there was some text on an unknown language to the Twili.
Vicks called the rest of the group and showed them his findings
Neon: I’ll go back for that crown. Wedge, keep looking for a way to activate the elevator. Vicks, copy the inscriptions and the drawings on the walls.
''
Neon gave some paper sheets and a pen to Vicks and then went back to the throne room. The emptiness of the room made the search quite easy, Neon picked up the crown and placed it on his head. As soon as he did it, the spheres melted and formed the puppets again. Neon changed his stance to a defensive one, and the puppets did it as well. After a little while, Neon realized that the puppets were imitating his moves. But when he fought the puppets, they weren’t imitating the corpse movements, so it was possible to control them without moving. Neon concentrated on one of the puppets and visualized it swinging its sword. The puppet swung its sword. Neon spent several minutes practicing with the crown, now he was able to control both of the puppets at the same time.
Neon cut three pieces from the carpet and tied them to make “bags”. Then he went back to the corridor. As he walked thru the corridor, the spheres on the pedestals melted and formed more puppets. The puppets marched behind Neon, they were surprisingly quiet. Neon entered the elevator room, 36 almost invincible metal puppets were following him.
Vicks: What the hell !?
Wedge: Sir, are you… controlling them?
Neon: Yes. Have you finished?
Vicks: Yeah, I’ve copied all of the drawings and inscriptions.
Wedge: Negative, I haven’t found a way to activate the elevator.
''
Vicks gave back Neon’s pen and the drawings. The puppets were clumsily imitating Neon’s movements, and one of them hit one of the crystals, for a second, it emitted light.
Vicks: Did you see that? 
Wedge: Yes, those crystals seem to be some sort of switches.
''
Neon’s head started to hurt, so he took off the crown. The 36 puppets melted and returned to their sphere shape. Neon placed 12 spheres on each bag, he kept one of the bags and gave one to Vicks and one to Wedge.
The Twili activated the switches in all the different orders possible. Nothing happened. At some point Vicks realized that if two switches were activated at the same time, their glow was more intense. Maybe they had to activate the six switches at the same time. Neon took out three of the spheres and placed each one of them next to one of the switches, then he, Vicks and Wedge also went to a different switch. Neon put the crown on his head and concentrated on the three spheres, only those three became puppets. The three Twili and the Three puppets hit the switches at the same time. The elevator went up… leaving them behind.
A few minutes later, the elevator returned, apparently they had to activate the switches from the elevator. Luckily, Wedge had a plan. Combo #3. The three Twili soldiers, each one carrying a bag with 12 spheres, stepped into the elevator. Then, Wedge cast his spell “Dual Ice Spire” an ice spire formed almost in the middle of the room, Vicks threw a weak Shadow Ball at it, a second ice spire formed in front of the soldiers, the Shadow Ball hit the first ice spire and shattered it. Dozens of ice shards flew thru the air, the 6 switches were activated at the same time and the elevator went up. Taking the Twili…. Somewhere in a higher floor.  
== Who. Cares. ==
Yruti, Nettle, and Bennu, day 2 (midmorning).
Inner temple of time'''
"Well, it seems our little friend wasn't crushed by a falling ceiling after all. Maybe you could help us find the switch." He thought for a second. "I wonder if it can even understand me." Yruti glanced towards Bennu.
Feeling confused by the strange noises the bird was making, Bennu lifted his hands in an attempt to communicate his inability to understand. The bird and bird-man seemed to be waiting for something, and he felt that he might be part of the reason they were waiting. He looked up, as the small ember darted around the room, as though it was searching for something. Bennu turned back to the two bird people, but they also were preoccupied in a conversation of some sort. 
Nettle flew back to Yruti and Kemli, voicing his findings. "I know there are several exits from this room, I can feel them behind the walls, but unless we try to destroy the wall itself, I can't see how we shall pass."
Yruti turned to Kemli, "Well... I suppose we don't have any other options, how much of the wall can your mag-" 
Suddenly, a loud grinding noise filled the room the three of them started, and turned around. Plu even poked his head out from Kemli's pack in order to see what the commotion was. A huge portion of the wall was slowly sinking into the earth, leaving a clear path to the passage behind it. 
Bennu stood near a pile of freshly removed rubble, a moving gear beneath his feet, with a content expression upon his face. Judging by the joyful expressions which showed upon the group, he had accomplished a worthy deed. 
Yruti stared at him, and with a tint of curiosity muttered, "hmm... what a surprising fellow... maybe he can understand us after all."
With that, the five of them set off down the passage.
The remainder of the journey through the temple was generally eventless, several more puzzles, gears and switches were encountered. Once, the group had to defend themselves from a small swarm of large spiders, but no other foes were encountered. Eventually, they entered a large domed room. Several beams of light shot down from the ceiling, but despite that, the room was devoid of light, Nettle softly fluttered forward in the darkness, a spot of light in a sea of black. 
"We are in the depths of the temple, Kemli, what you are seeking is near, yes, very near."
From the shadows, a dark figure began to emerge.
Kemli|Temple of time|Late morning 3
The room was large, round and... Empty? No, it seemed empty but was not. The shadows at the end of the room where moving. An arm emerged, followed by a the body of a strange humanoid creature. Across it were strange designs, made out of magic, that glowed red. Beside it was a club made of stone. It breathed in, and then let out a fierce bellow, before proceeding to run straight at them. Kemli flew up into the air, his sword next to him. He thought of a spell that might word. He summoned a fireball, and let it fly at the thing. Everyone around him shared fierce looks of determination, and got ready for the fight.\
Day 2 (Morning)/ Temple of time/ Neon Zelgadiz (dark)
After several seconds, the elevator stopped and a stone door opened. The Twili stepped out of the elevator, the first thing that their eyes met was the corpse of a big beast lying on the floor, it seemed to be some sort of Bokoblin, but it was different from all the Bokoblins that Neon had seen before, it was bigger and uglier.
The second thing they saw were their former “companions”. Judging by their appearance and all the damages in the room, it was obvious that they had fought and defeated the beast just a few moments ago. They seemed to had taken some damage from the battle, but none of them had any serious wounds.
Neon looked at Vicks and Wedge.
Neon: Wait…
''
Neon walked towards the other group, he reached them and then he started to talk with them. A few minutes later, Neon returned to Vicks and Wedge.
Neon: Apparently, Kemli had some kind of vision and now he has a medallion on his hand, or something like that. And the interesting part, due to certain reasons, three of them will come back with us to the camp.
Wedge: ... 
Vicks: What?!
Neon: Lets go.
''
The three soldiers returned to the Twili camp accompanied by Iruti, Nettle and Bennu. Kemli and Plu flew to a different place. 
After a couple of hours, they arrived to the Twili camp, it was already noon. Once inside the camp, Neon asked Vicks and Wedge to take the rest of the group to the recruitment “office”.
Neon: Take them to the recruitment “office” and then go rest.
Wedge: Yes sir
Vicks: What about you?
Neon: I have some business to take care.
Vicks: Are you… going to that guys lab. 
Neon: Yes.
Vicks: Be careful, that guy, Cid, he is crazy.
Neon: “If it is useful, then use it” Right now that bastard can be very useful to me.
''
Neon despised Cid, he had cut two of Lilith’s fingers and the he refused to seek a cure for her disease, obviously, Neon didn’t like the way his sister was treated. But Cid was the best researcher in the Twili army, and an expert in ancient languages. He was Neon’s best bet to decipher those texts from the temple.
After walking inside the camp for a while, Neon entered a small building, it looked less improvised than most of the camp, Cid was very demanding. As soon as Neon crossed the door, he saw a big and strange machine in the middle of the room. 
There were many wizards, apparently, all of them busy, doing something, something that Neon didn’t cared about. Neon approached one of the wizards.
Neon: Where is Cid?
Cid: I don’t have time to hear about your sister. Can’t you see I’m busy? Get out of here !
''
After hearing the reply of the old wizard, Neon felt the anger increasing inside his body. That bastard dared to speak of Lilith?! But right now Neon needed that bastard. After breathing a couple of times to control his anger, Neon said.
Neon: I need you to translate something for me, I found it inside the te
Cid: Didn’t you hear me? I told you to 
''
Neon dropped the metallic spheres on the floor and then placed the crown on top of his head. Instantly the spheres turned into a small army of metallic soldiers. Everybody in the room stopped whatever they were doing and stared in awe to the soldiers.
Cid: Amazing!
Neon: I found them inside the temple of time. I believe this text tells about them. Translate it and I’ll let you research these “machines” as much as you want.
Cid: Let me see them.
''
Several minutes later, Neon came out of Cid’s lab. Now it was time for the real deal. Neon went to his company’s quarters, to look for his captain. Captain Dalton was Neon’s immediate superior, only in rank of course. Neon never understood how someone so incompetent in the battlefield could be his captain. But that didn’t matter in that moment. As usual, Dalton was behind his desk.
Dalton: You should report to me as soon as you arrive from your missions.
Neon: I need an audience with commander Maydni.
Dalton: First. I need your report. Second. Whatever you want to discuss with her will have to go through the appropriate channels.
''
Again, Neon repeated the mechanic soldiers act, and said.
Neon: I think she’ll want to see them with her own eyes and hear my report with her own ears.
''
Neon stared coldly into Dalton’s eyes. Dalton had seen Neon many times in the battlefield, he knew the havoc that Neon could cause, and Neon’s emotionless face had always disturbed him a little (because he couldn’t “read” him like he could with the rest of the people). Definitely, Dalton didn’t want to cause neon’s anger, much less with a small army of metal warriors behind him.
Dalton: I’ll see if I can arrange something, wait a moment.
''
Dalton went out of the room, and returned almost an hour later.
Dalton: Follow me.
''
Neon followed Dalton through several areas of the camp, each one with a higher security level than the last one. Eventually, they reached the room in which the commander was waiting. As soon as Neon found himself in front of the commander, he tilted his head forward and crossed his arm over his chest. It was a sign of respect, that Neon had never performed before, but he thought it would be necessary this time.
