#hyrule\_castle\_town

Ganondorf [6:14 PM]
It starts
with one. One top line gerudo trained and honed with skills that
enable her to excel in the darkness. She comes out of the portal near
the Temple of time, glancing about with keen eyes to ensure
everything is clear. Finding out that the place is still abandoned,
with malice still bubbling and gurgling away, she takes her
position.

Then there is another gerudo that emerges. Followed
by another. In only seconds there is a dozen. Then another dozen...
Then more... and more...! In only a minute the entire troupe
measuring to be one hundred in number is through, along with
Ganondorf himself. He is the last to emerge, that smirk still on his
face. He did enjoy it when a plan came together.

"You all
know what you need to do." He booms lowly. "Now
\_scatter\_."

Ganondorf [6:36 PM]
Dragmire watches
as his gathering of gerudo leap into the air at blistering speeds
when he commands them, heading off to the pre-determined location. It
leaves only Ganondorf himself. The King Of Evil rounds on the portal
that just re-gained him access to Hyrule. His eyes narrow at the
thing.

"And now, hero..." He mutters. "...find
out what it is like to be stuck in the wretched country of
Termina...!" Throwing forth both of his hands, Ganondorf grunts
and snorts with effort as he exerts his considerable magical power
upon the gateway to the other dimension. "...hnnnnnngh!" He
groans, yellow eyes widening with effort as he witnesses the portal
whine and shiver.

Slowly but surely, it shrinks. It contorts
and begins to collapse upon itself - soon shrinking to be nothing
more than a tennis ball in size. Upon reaching this state, Dragmire
gasps loudly and heaves with effort. Shrinking alien (as in, portals
that do not belong to him) gateways was no joke. Though he had been
unable to seal the thing completely, he had ensured that nothing
bigger than a rat could get through in its current state. Which would
have to do.

Still breathing heavily, Ganondorf begins to
survey the damage done in Hyrule Castle Town. The malice is examined
carefully - the prideful grin on his face unable to be hidden. It
turns into a low chuckle, before he throws his head back to laugh
manically. "HA HA HA HA!" Yeah. You all know the
one.

Ganondorf [6:44 PM]
Stepping into the middle of
Castle Town, Ganon takes a big breath to settle himself. Then,
through an extended hand, he summons his black steed. The horse
literally steps out of the ground through a crevice formed by the
King of Evil. Out of the gates of Hell, as it were.

While once
was natural and living, his steed has long shed its mortal status.
Its eyes glow aflame with red and orange hues. The thing appears near
permanently in a grumpy mood, with only Ganondorf mounting it likely
calming it down. It trots back and forth with impatience - ready to
use its great strength and speed to serve.

"HYA!"
Dragmire cries, kicking his heels into the side of the beast to drive
it forward. With the thundering of hooves he is carried out from
Castle Town and into Hyrule Field proper. "HA HA HA!" He
cries again, the smells of Hyrule washing over him and filling him
with nostalgia. It was almost like going back to an old family home.
Yes. \_This\_ is where he belonged.

As he clears the drawbridge,
the King raises his right fist into the air. A splurge of light
erupts his hand and shoots into the sky. The purplish dark magical
energy streams into the heavens - so strong and bright that those in
Kakariko, Darth Mountain and Lake Hylia could all likely see
it.

It's an unnatural light. One of eerie foreboding. As it
breaks into the clouds, something highly irregular occurs. The early
morning sunshine suddenly starts to... well, darken. The blue skies
turn into twilight, before... well - it simply becomes night again!
The sun appears to transform into the moon, as Ganondorf casts
eternal night onto the Kingdom of Hyrule.

All the while
cackling upon his demonic gerudo steed, thundering into the fields.

Ganondorf [10:00 PM]
With a
swift dismount of his steed, Ganondorf lands upon the mess of Hyrule
Castle Town with a heavy thump. Standing up straight, he casts a
harrowing gaze about the scene.

In the darkness, the only life
that remained at the moment were the crows and vultures. The former
caw against the heavy clouds that pollute the sky, while vultures
pluck away at the corpses that have been eroded by the malice before
it was frozen. With a long stride that causes his cloak to billow
mildly, he steps among the bodies and magic, his attention being
drawn to the ice that had long ago put a stop to his assault.
Especially before it had reached Hyrule Castle.

"The
\_barmaid\_." He grunts in annoyance, jaw clenching tightly as the
realisation comes upon him. Truly, she had started to become as much
as a thorn in his side as the Hero of Time. With a heaving breath
taken he approaches the wall of ice that Irina had created to stop
his invasion of darkness. "Pity," He remarks. "...Such
a talent with magic. But on the wrong side." Lifting up his
heavy gauntlet, Ganondorf opens his palm so that it faces the ice.
And then, with a swift horizontal motion he swings his arms as if to
rip something away. Sure enough, the ice formation shatters as if it
had exploded. Irina's magic was strong - of that there was little
doubt. But when compared to Ganondorf's own it was paltry.

Curiously
there is a moment then where he stands still. For nearly a minute he
remains fixed in that position like a statue. Then, as if there was
no pause, there is movement again.

Already the malice was in
motion again - the ice that had once contained it now vaporised into
oblivion. Just like before it slowly started to ooze forward -
unrelenting in its slow assault of the castle.

It's at this
moment when Ganondorf is joined by company. Marching across the
bridge of Castle Town is a horde of various evil creatures that carry
out his bidding. Moblins, stalfos, wolfos and more! As they round the
corner to head for the Castle, Dragmire lifts his arms up to signal
some sort of triumph. "Invade. Destroy. Leave \_none\_ alive."
He orders darkly, as the horde of evil creatures break from their
marching formation and charge in wildly to the castle occupied
traditionally by the royal family.

Some are dumb enough to get
caught by the malice that they're invading with - stepping in the
vile goop and then perishing like the Hylians before them. Most are
smart enough to avoid it though.

Ganondorf himself turns back
to his demonic stead, mounting the creature and kicking the beast
into a slow trot. With dramatic fashion he brings up the rear of the
evil forces, that dark smile ever-present on his face. "Kukukuku."
Soon this castle would be his.

#hyrule\_castle

Ganondorf [5:06 AM]
"CUT
THEM DOWN!" Ganondorf bellows, kicking at the side of his stead
as he gallops into the castle grounds. The guards that have remained
are faced with an onslaught of creatures and monsters from the
darkest corners of Hyrule; not to mention Dragmire himself. The King
of Evil erupts into maniacal laughter as he swings his sword down
upon the helpless royal guards - cutting through their armour and
sending their blood onto the pristine brick walls.

The royal
soldiers that are missed by this offensive are rounded upon by the
various monsters by Ganondorf's side. As he ordered, they are trying
to leave none alive. The sounds of the battle are as bloody as they
are brutal. Monsters screaming in pain as they are skewered by royal
guards. And guards grunting and gurgling in death as they are run
through with rusty swords or bashed in with clubs.

Then of
course, there is the malice that slowly rolls about behind. The black
goop swallows anyone, friend or foe unlucky enough to be caught in it
for too long.

Naturally, given the intelligence of these dark
creatures and their ability (or perhaps lack thereof), there are
groups of royal guards and related forces beyond that that are able
to flee.

Perhaps unaware of this fact, Ganondorf chortles in
laughter as he plunges deeper into the castle. "KAKAKA!"
Dragmire's laugh echoes amid the halls and Hyrule Castle. Perhaps
even beyond...

\* Live scene on 4/24/18 started here \*

#hyrule\_castle\_town

Itami [6:55 PM]
Itami entered
the town, the air thick with the presence of darkness. She didn't see
any living bodies, but there were some fresh corpses of various
monsters. Moblins, bokoblins, lizalfos, some had succumbed to the
living essence of malice here.

She took to her broom and
hovered in the air, minding the ground below that stared back at her.
Yellow, tainted eyes rose up from the pitch, making her wonder if it
truly was living? It seemed to have the capacity to observe and
respond to its surroundings.

Webbing stretched out from the
eyes, covering up shops and some paths, but the way to hers was still
clear. She had to wonder if that was a boon or not?

Pressing
onward, she made her way to the back alley to find her shop and the
malice taking up residence around the windows. The door was free, but
some of the essence had gathered at the foot of it, making it hard to
shove open.

"The place is as I left it. For now..."
She muttered to herself. All this hard work would soon be lost, but
the valuables were in the safe. Once she had those, she'd have
everything she needed.

Torgem [7:10 PM]
Footsteps echo from
the corridors and pathways that lead to Hyrule Castle. Not just a
pair of footsteps, but dozens of them! And with them, the sounds of
panic and chaos. Terrified screams, along with shouting and
directing. "FLEE TO KAKARIKO!" One bellows, perhaps a more
senior Knight. "We must cross the fields to safety! We cannot
allow ourselves to all perish!"

They stream into Castle
Town proper, oblivious of Itami and her arrival. A horde of broken
men, both mentally and physically, stumble and limp through the
square. There aren't a heap of them here - most of the troops having
lost their lives fighting bravely for their country. But those that
do remain possess a steely resolve as they pass trough the town, over
the drawbridge and into the fields proper.

#hyrule\_field

Torgem [7:13 PM]
The thundering
of footsteps rumbles along the drawbridge of Castle Town as a group
of wounded Hylian royal guards pass over it.

The Captain in
command blows upon a horn that hangs by his side. Its deep sound
echoes into the sky as he hopes to call for aid from the Village in
which they seek sanctuary. With a grimace they look in to the
darkness, into the rough direction of where they believe they need to
go. But the darkness was immense. So dreary was it that Kakariko was
completely gone - where upon its shape can normally at least be
seen.

"Harden up!" The Captain cries. "Eyes
forward and press forward."

Unfortunately for the guards,
Kakariko aren't the only ones that heard that horn. In the darkness,
just out of vision, eyes glower at the wounded men from all sides.

#kakariko

Spoof [7:15 PM]
The faint sound
of a horn can be heard drifting through the air, causing many to look
up in stunned curiosity. The locals, and those that had fled Hyrule
Castle Town, had no doubting what it was. It was the horn of royal
guard. They had called for aid.

#hyrule\_castle\_town

Itami [7:21 PM]
Itami, while
gathering her belongings, managed to catch the shout fromx afar. It
was distorted somewhat by the malice seemingly swallowing some of it,
but the emotion behind it was clear. Further, those were living
people.

She hurried herself, opening the safe and grabbing
what few valuables she had. Her rupees, a few expensive materials and
most importantly, her self made catalogue of materials that she
studied herself extensively. That was her prize and her work. Even if
she knew everything in the book, at some point, she intended to have
the contents recorded again and made available to others.

With
it all tucked away from a curtain she ripped down to pack it all in,
she sent her belongings away in a flash, sending them off to safety.
Came at some cost to her. The weight of dark magic in the air was a
lot to work through. Still, her goods were safe. Now, all she had to
do was escape.

Hopping over the malice, she left her shop and
took to her broom to float around and make her way back to the main
area so she could leave with the rest of the soldiers.

#kakariko

Lude [7:27 PM]
"The royal
guard?! Damn! My armor! Tika watch over Netri! I am needed."
Lude
rushes for his shield, longswords and his horse strife.

#hyrule\_castle\_town

Sydney [7:35 PM]
hopping from
rooftop to rooftop Sydney made his way through the town under orders
from his brother to retrieve some of the town's malice.

It
would become useful in the near future.
He ignored the escaping
guards and hid himself from the flying gerudo woman.
They were of
no concern to him they would meet their end soon enough.

#hyrule\_field

Itami [7:38 PM]
Itami flew out
of Castle Town, attempting to steady her broom now that the influence
and weight of the darkness was minimized.

Upon landing, she
kept her broom in hand and approached the ranks of the soldiers. "I
can guide you to Kakariko, but we have to be quick!" She saw
those eyes in the darkness.

Rauru [7:39 PM]
The King of
Evil may have drawn the Triforce of Power to himself over the
Triforce of Wisdom, but clearly he is no fool. Though he possesses
the strength to crush any who face him directly without the
Goddesses' blessing, he has chosen to first attack the spirits of the
land's inhabitants. Light is something people take for granted most
of the time, maybe even resenting the sun occasionally as it burns
overhead while they toil away. But now that daily gift has been
stolen, and the longer the people go without it, the more despair
will creep into their hearts.

That's why Rauru has been busy
since the sky turned dark. He may not have a tenth of the power
Ganondorf wields, but is he not the Sage of Light? As the royal
guard thunders out of the gates, Rauru materializes on the parapet of
Castle Town's outer wall. Pouring out the magic he has mustered,
Rauru creates a gigantic ball of light and levitates it into the sky.
 It's no actual sun of course, but it will grant vision to men across
the breadth of the land.

#kakariko

Shura [7:39 PM]
Shuras eyes widen
hearing the horn in the distance a sound for one of two things battle
or a call for help. On that note shura was dashing tward the sound of
the horn makeing as much haste as he can hopefully he could get a
sword better then his masumane it was his last resort he had hoped he
could gather a sword there.

Spoof [7:40 PM]
A group of
men and women similarly leap to their feet upon hearing the sounds of
the horn. Like Lude that ready their equipment quickly, securing all
they can as quickly as they can. "They won't take us all out!"
One angrily yells out, perhaps having been scorned in the original
take-over.

Regardless, a small group of brave combatants burst
out of the gates of Kakariko, heading into the darkness and towards
the sounds of the horn. "For Hyrule!"

#hyrule\_field

Lude [7:41 PM]
Following the sound
of the horn Lude, atop strife barreled through the field, sword
drawn.
He did not have his armor, he would have to be extra
cautious.

But the thought of being reunited with his comrades
made him throw his caution to the wind as he sped along the field
toward castle town.

Lude was too preoccupied with the horn to
notice the eyes staring at him
Lude could see the light ahead. As
well as a small squad of men and Itami.
He sped toward the
light.
Strife grunting hard.

Spoof [7:44 PM]
The
guards look at Itami with some skepticism. A woman landing on a broom
isn't really a common occurrence, even knowing that this world was a
place of magic. But they weren't really in a position to argue, were
they?

It's with a gruff nod that the Captain gives the order,
blowing his horn again as they fall into line behind Itami. "If
you know the way, lead us. We can not be sure that we are going in
the right direction given our fatigue."

#kakariko

Netri [7:49 PM]
The sound of the
horn and seeing everyone painc was so exciting! She thought as she
stood as the front porch and looked at the village. She tried to
sneak off toward the stables to get Ponyo and help.

Tika
[7:51 PM]
"And just where do you think you're going missy?"

She picked the child up and walked back inside with her.

#hyrule\_field

Shura [7:51 PM]
Shura running as
fast as his body can take him fallowed the direction of the horn
being the only clue as to were whatever was going on the only clue
about anything to shura was for hyrule that the gaurdsmen yelled out
in town ether way this was going to be exciteing. Though a short
while later he spot seeing the ball of light in the distance and
roughly the same direction of the horn he made sure to follow it
thats were they all were heading (edited)

#kakariko

Netri [7:52 PM]
"Awww."
:( \*poutyface\*

#hyrule\_field

Monsters [7:55 PM]
Following the
powerful display of magic from the Sage of Light himself, the
miniature sun that he creates provides enough brightness to make all
the creatures of darkness hiss and whine.

Yep - now they were
on display. Stalfos, wolfos, lizalfos (generally any thing ending
with 'os'), moblins and bokoblins. Having grown used to the permanent
cover of night, they were stunned and blinded by the sudden
brightness. Drawing their weapons, they charge in to the
guards!

"KILL! SLAUGHTER!"

Guards [7:59
PM]
The wounded men also find themselves squinting at the sudden
ball of light that appears in the sky. "W... what sorcery is
this?!" Already their moods are lifted - spirits soaring as they
are able to see their surroundings. "The night is gone!"
One yells in hysterical fashion, though the joy is cut short by one
noticing the horde of angry beasties on their way. And them screaming
things like 'kill' and 'slaughter'.

"ENEMIES! Form up!
But keep moving! If we stop, we're dead!" Easier said then done
to be honest. Those that aren't leaning on each other for support are
quite drained and sore. But they muster the courage and prepare for
the incoming barrage.

Lude [8:00 PM]
Strife came a stop in
a panic.
The light revealed the beasts that took over the
fields.
"Goddess be damned!" He spat out as he watched
the monsters advance toward the royal guardsmen.
Lude was still a
ways away
He sped toward the group cutting down any beast that
stood in his path.

#hyrule\_castle\_town

Sydney
[8:07 PM]
Moving through the town he fed off the dark magic in the
air.

#hyrule\_castle

Ganondorf [8:07 PM]
Sitting upon
the throne of Hyrule Castle, Dragmire looks about at the corpses of
guards and dark monsters that lay in the throne room. The handful of
creatures that survived stand at eternal attention, ready for his
orders.

Taking this room had been tougher than he presumed it
would be, but it had been done nonetheless. With that objective
ticked off, he had already started to exert his influence. While the
castle is known to be pristine with white brick, a beacon of light to
all - it is now covered in globs and goops of malice. It hangs from
the walls and ceilings, tainting the visual beauty that it
provided.

The ball of light in the sky that forms out of
seemingly no-where of course draws his attention. For a moment he is
stunned - an action he is highly unaccustomed to feeling. But that
brief moment of surprise turns to anger, as his fingers clench around
the arms of the throne.

"Rauru..." He practically
chokes on the words, such is his rising anger. "That bastard old
man. Why can't you just be gone once and for all?" Standing from
the throne, he steps over to the window to examine the work that had
been done. The ball of light sits up there - burbling away.
"Hm."

#kakariko

Kentas [8:10 PM]
Kentas heard the
horn call off in the distance but stayed close to Torgem, he saw
Shura dash off in a state along with other armed villagers but he
could only stand still, hand on his dagger, his eyes gaze to Torgem
as he asked, both curious and worried, "What is that sound Mr
Torgem? I feel uneasy hearing such a faint but obviously loud
noise."

He gazed around the village more people arming
themselves for something, his amber eyes turn to the elder's house as
Tika and Netri made both a sudden appearance and returning all the
same.

Radella zoomed high into the air, her gaze off towards
the horn, she felt like she could remember hearing such a horn
before, "That is no good.. seems like danger is coming."
She mumbles in her flight to nobody but her fairy self.

#hyrule\_field

Lude [8:15 PM]
Lude charged toward
the group, Strife maneuvering around the beasts, and coming to a stop
at the front of the group.
He dismounted his steed and drew his
blades.
"It is time to get you home gentlemen."

Tara
Soft [8:18 PM]
Unfortunately for a certain Dungeon Diver,
night fell as she was underground and she came right up under the
charge. She gives a disgruntled snort and gestures in front of her,
dropping several beasties into a quagmire, carefully arranging her
outfit as the monsters suffocated.

"Can I have a nice
night, for once?"

Itami [8:22 PM]
"I do,"
Itami offered to the guards, taking the lead before them. She used
her broom to give her lift and speed to head off. Not enough that she
would be out of sight of the go guards.

Finding her path
illuminated, she briefly looks up to it and attempts to find the
source. Although, it's a bit too bright for that to be done. Besides,
now she knows the full extent of the beasts that were after
them.

"We can't fight them all..." But they could
stave them off. Off she goes heading in the direction of Kakariko,
gathering her magic so she could sweep through some messes.

The
chanting of 'kill' and 'slaughter' was all the more reason to get to
the village, but spare no enemies.

Reinforcements [8:29 PM]
Lude is
a professionally trained soldier on a horse that can thunder across
the fields with ease. The rest of those coming to help mostly don't
have a horse - but the light that now hangs in the sky fills them
with such vigour that it feels like they can sprint for a hundred
leagues without problem. "There they are!" One cries,
holding up his slightly bent sword high to the sky. "Provide the
cover to get our troops to safety!"

The reinforcements
crash into the wave of monsters like a wave on rock. Cries of pain
and anguish fill the sky as swords and weapons of all sorts skewer
into fleshy bodies of hylian and monster alike.

Monsters
[8:32 PM]
Dragmire's minions are everywhere and unrelenting. While
their main focus was on the guards at first, their attention is drawn
to Lude and the troupe of men and women behind him. Their formation
shapes to a defensive motion on one side, immediately lessening the
offensive power that was directed at the royal guards. Despite being
mostly mindless, they press on without fear. Failure would mean a
fate worse than death for these poor sods.

#kakariko

Netri [8:33 PM]
Back in her
nursery, Netri was quite upset at not being able to help everyone.
She waited for a bit before trying to quietly open the door to her
nursery.

Poking her head outside she did not find Tika or
Wolf.

Taking her chance she slowly crawled out the the front
door and tried to open it.

#hyrule\_field

Guards [8:42 PM]
"Lude!"
The Captain recognises the soldier riding towards them, gaping a
little as he dismounts. "Agreed. If you can get us to the
Village with this mage, then we will be in your debt."

As
they pressed on towards the Village, the monsters that were hammering
at them are distracted by the reinforcements coming from their
destination. But they are still partly under attack, and the guards
fight bravely to the best of their ability. But after already
defending themselves against Ganondorf and his critters, and then the
malice, their physical ability and mental fatigue placed them at a
great disadvantage. Already they were starting to lose
others.

Regardless, they follow Itami as best they can, the
circle of royal guards moving across the fields.

Rauru [8:46 PM]
Phew...that's
done. And now, time to become scarce. e.e; Ganondorf would most
likely guess who was behind this literal beacon of hope, and no doubt
he'd love to snuff out one of the Six Sages. Rauru turns into a
shimmering trail of sparkles and flies away, leaving the combat to
the more physically capable folk.

Vyl [8:47 PM]
Off in
the distance Vyl could hear the horn, it gave him a chill up his
spine, he was drilled relentlessly to know all the calls and horns
both his brethren and the Royals could use for aid.

His left
hand began shaking before his right hand dominantly slammed and
latched onto his wrist, the corners of his mouth twisted into a grin
again before a flash of light appeared out of nowhere, the orb of
light glowing harshly against the dark sky's.

Though his mask
guarded against such sudden dazzlement he still reached up to rub his
eyes before moving into action, "I will just go with the flow
and go all out.. should be fun~" An aura built up around Vyl,
though clearly the synergy of hostility and preservation could be
felt emanating from it.

He dashed through the dark the sound
of monsters left and right of the swordsman, did not even phase him.
He unleashed a flurry of strikes from an Iaijutsu stance, quickly
sheathing his blade as remains drop all around.

The Sheikah
closes in on the light and the group ahead, though he has unexpected
merged with the monster horde unnoticed, another smile builds on his
face as he strikes from the darkness still at their back. Picking off
the horde piece by piece, moving around like a gust of wind, many of
the poor beasts wouldn't notice the weaklings being picked off at the
 back.

#kakariko

Torgem [8:49 PM]
"I don't
know." The goron was not a royal knight, nor did he have any
sort of kinship or knowledge of Hylian military protocol. For all he
knew that horn could have just been a mercenary! "Best just to
stay here and let the people who know what's going on do their
thing."

#hyrule\_field

Lude [8:50
PM]
Lude charges toward the hoarde cutting down those in front of
him.
He could move alot faster now that his armor was off.
"Where
the hell were you all? The village was undefended!"
His
swords cut through a lizalfos in front of him.

Shura [8:52
PM]
Shura who was on his way cleaveing though the eluminated
monsters only when he had to helping the other ment arounf him
scaveageing one of the mobs wepons thankfully to spare him the
masumane he was saved untill he had to use the thing. running through
a bocoblins head with a battle warn blade no use in being soft with
the enimy right who cares if the blade broke poped into shuras head
as he swung the blade with a heavy swing every time as he had kept
with the group on the way to the other group. (edited)

#kakariko

Netri [8:54 PM]
Using a chair as
a ladder she got the front door open,
success!
She made a
dash toward the stable but stopped in her tracks and ran toward the
rocky man.

Coming up to the counter she found a stool, dragged
it closer to the counter itself and climbed it so she could talk to
him.

"I need my sword and shield rocky man!"

#hyrule\_field

Monsters [8:59
PM]
The enemies are nigh endless. They had gathered from the
darkest parts of Hyrule, with numbers nigh overwhelming. The only
thing against them was their lack of cohesion and unity. Truthfully
if they marched as an army that possessed any sort of command they
would likely trounce this group! But as it were, they were all
individuals. And some of these monster breeds did not like each other
- so didn't mind too much when each other got slain. >\_\_>; On
that note, the numerical advantage is cancelled out by the strict
discipline that the defenders possess.

So as Shura and Lude
slice down the foes with neat ease, two more seemingly sprout from
their place. They flail their weapons in return, hoping to injure all
they come into contact with! Granted, some of these creatures wield
clubs. Which don't do a lot of damage to the armoured royal
guards.

Then of course there is Vyl - silently picking them
off from the rear flank.

Itami [9:00 PM]
Itami
continued to try and lead the guards forward, but the amount of
monsters eventually became overwhelming. They'd have to stop for now
and that left her to enjoy a bit of destructive magic usage.

With
the amount of magic she built up, she hopped off her broom and a
fireball formed at the tips of the bristles. With a swing, she sent
forward the explosive ball of energy to clear a path and allow the
soldiers to keep moving forward. She could only hope she wouldn't
have to continue doing this or her reserves would disappear
quickly.

"Continue clearing a path this way!"

Lude
[9:04 PM]
Lude sheathed one of his swords, drew his shield and
took a defensive position in front of the guards.
As Itami let
loose a fireball Lude took the opportunity to cut down any
disoriented enemies.

Shura [9:09 PM]
Shura despite being in
the midst of battle had nothing but a grin on his face after all he
was a swordsmen by trade this was his life useing a strange stance
along with the blade one alittle wilder then most would see but
strangely each strike was preciseand powerfull he however uses the
sheath of the masumane and his borowed blade to do his best blocking
the various wepons his left arm getting strikken twice by clubs from
his blind side.

#kakariko

Netri [9:14 PM]
"Hurry!
Hurry!" Netri started flailing around to get his
attention.

Torgem [9:15 PM]
"You will receive no such
thing." Torgem rumbles, eyeing Netri as she bursts in. "They
are not yet complete. Even if they were, I would not let someone as
young as yourself march out to the fields. I may not be the smartest
goron, but even I know that would not be wise."

Guards [9:16 PM]
"Hold the
line!" The Captain calls, keeping the strict routine in check.
"Don't let them through!"

With Itami clearing the
way with impressive magic, they shift closer and closer to the
Village. In time, they are close enough to the walls that archers
stationed upon the walls are able to unload volleys of arrows to
provide more cover. They were starting to reach the safety
zone!

Reinforcements [9:20 PM]
"YARRRGGHHH!"
The men and women who have rallied to support the royal knights cry
out in battle as they battle in extreme combat. Bodies fall. Blood
spills. The sound of metal bashing upon metal constantly rings
throughout the air.

Kentas [9:25 PM]
Kentas approached
Netri who had snuck her way here for apparently her order, he placed
his hands on her shoulder and looked into her eyes, "He's
right.. it is too dangerous for us small people out there." He
insinuated to himself and her before clearing his throat.

"Though
that doesn't mean we can't help people here!" The Kokiri yelped
happily as a childish grin builds on his face. He then looks around
the Village, whereas some were arming themselves, other villagers
cowered in terror for what could come their way.

Monsters [9:29 PM]
The magical
fire which is unleashed upon them from Itami, followed by the volley
of arrows and the brutal yet undisciplined way in which they fought
eventually erodes the confidence of the beings. If that blasted ball
of light had not appeared in the sky and given them such confidence,
all of this would be different!

Upon getting too close to
Kakariko, the creatures begin to call their retreat. They knew better
than to charge right into that place. They prefer the safety of open
fields. With howls of displeasure they turn their backs and sprint
away into the distance - perhaps keen to get away from Dragmire; the
being they had failed.

Tara Soft [9:42 PM]
As the
battle raged and shifted towards Kakariko, Tara simply maintained the
morass that circled her, not bothering to assist or hinder. In fact,
the woman isn't aware there is a skirmish, the dungeon's special way
of insulating one from the outside made her miss the commotion.
Instead, she picks through the corpses that float towards her in the
magical quicksand she created, thinking it was just one of those
weird monster migrations they've been having over the years.

\_Oh,
well! More monster bits to sell!\_ She thinks as she rips a sandy
necklace off of a Moblin carcass.

Vyl [9:43 PM]
As he
pushes around the back, gutting and executing various pawns, Vyl's
mind wandered, he killed like a machine and pressed on to pull more
of the horde away from one side, before switching back and
forth.

His mind beckoned himself with thoughts, "Why are
you doing this? \_Do you feel sorry for them?\_ \*Just slaughter their
puny attempt at escape already!\* \_You are just as pathetic..\_" a
gloved hand striking his own temple to shush the voices of his own
darker desires.

The Sheikah swung grand arch like strikes at
the horde around him, throwing many dead monsters to the ground
before disappearing into smoke. His speed was still top-notch for his
flanking strategy but his focus was slipping with every whisper in
his head.

He carelessly cuts down a moblin who struggles with
it's dying breath to hold his blade. A roaring grunt comes from a
nearby Stalfos who turns a small portion of this army of evil towards
Vyl.

\*Tsk!\*

Vyl tuts at himself before ripping the
blade through the rest of the moblin, he flicks the katana downwards
throwing dark blood at the grass under his feet.

The smell of
blood and metal grew stronger with every second, this was a warzone
and clearly this wasn't even the worst of the battle, fire could be
smelt further along as he spots a falling fireball shoot down from
the sky.

Now alot of the horde has began to run and Vyl uses
the distraction to make a large circular swing, butchering many more
monsters till the rest could see how outmatched they were.

Itami
 [9:51 PM]
Itami was glad. The battle was swift, but bloody.
They've made it within enough distance that she can finally rest. She
felt invigorated, mysteriously so. She's not one for large battles.
She had her time for those in a life now past. Maybe it was that
light or maybe she was happy she'd lived through it to be able to
start her business anew?

Whatever the case, she's served her
purpose here. "I suppose we're going to need a lot of assistance
with tending to wounds. I will see if I can find some herbs. There
should be plenty out in the field. I had even more at the shop, but I
have no desire to go back to Castle Town."

Spoof
[9:58 PM]
There is an almighty cheer from the escaped guards as
they reach their destination and file into the Village via the narrow
path. The reinforcements that survived follow them in, some of them
carrying each other after suffering great flesh wounds. They had died
for each other, but in the end the majority of the guards that left
Castle Town had made it. In fact, there had been few
casualties.

Though once inside Kakariko, it doesn't take long
for word to spread on why the guards were here in the first
place.

Ganondorf had taken the castle through force. Though
Zelda and her immediate aids were safe, the King of Evil now sat upon
the throne to Lord over all.
