The Dark field of Hyrule, what a lonely place it becomes at night, I thought to myself as I stood at the top of a grassy hill staring at the castle so very far away. The Tall grass of Ivory shades, and green décor shuddered at the howl of the blissful wind. What a Sight, for the sanctum of loneliness only one such as I can find true bliss, but alone I was not this night. I traveled with my band of Colleges. This night was a night of Sin, where the Six of us would do an unspeakable thing, or so we thought. Many know me as Niko, I am a Drow Dragon Clansmen, or in our language the Fer'ice Die'tee Chen. The quarter moon and its silvery gaze pierce me in a strange way. To use this quarter moon is known as a bad omen, but I believe not in such things as our false gods, and strange prophecies.
Chapter One: The Preparation
"Niko hurry time is running short!" A silvery blue haired female warrior called. Strapped on her back was a large broad sword so to say. Two blades came from either side of the hilt, and twisted, criss-crossing at the center, and stretching outwards again only to come back into a the point. Such craftsmanship, we took a great pride in our weaponry. We daubed these blades, the Dan Hell Banes, which translates to the Double Helix swords. He turned to her, and slight grin appeared on my face. Not a full grin mind you, more like a half cocked one. Where only one side of his lips curve upwards. He began a pace towards her, walking slowly when he spoke.
"I know the time is drawing closer." He spoke reaching her holding both of her hands within his own how warm he thought. Coming closer he let the sweet aroma of her enter me as he let out a slight grunt of pleasure. Brushing past her he worked his was towards his party of faithful companions. He opened his arms spanning them out as if to hug the air in front of him as he spoke again.
"Tonight my friends we kill the king." Niko spoke. Niko looked to be in his early twenties perhaps just turning 20. His hair was bleach white, like most clansmen of his rank, and power. Niko was considered a master swordsman in all aspects. His strength was great, and his skill was phenomenal. He wore the standard Iron chest plate, and underneath the silver Tunic. His legs donned with pearl white tights that fell into two leathery boots, and he too held one of these Banes. On his back, yet slightly thicker then the woman he spoken to before.
She walked by him brushing against his body turning her head to view him solely with her only one of her eyes in a flirtatious manner. He smiled, and let his arms fall to his side. They all wore the same armor and the same tunic though some of them varied in color. Two wore red also they bore the same Banes, but their swords where much smaller then Niko's, and Woman's. Two wore Green, and their carried elaborate long bows crafted with the crest of Dragons, at both ends where the string latched to the bow itself. The Die'tee Gins, or better known to the people as the Dragon Bows.
Niko turned to the men in the red tunics, and his spoke to them as he did they turned, and stood erect. Under closer notice of their faces, they were young twins, perhaps in there mid Teens. Each with short black hair thick as the muddy swamps tangled and darker then the night it was.
"Once more we will brief before we lay the breach the castle." Niko's voice was stern, and confident. The party slouched, and moaned this would be the um-teen time they've gone over the plan, but Niko was the kind of man whom would say if it was worth doing, its worth doing right. Meaning there was no room for error if it were to be done Niko would do it flawlessly. They nodded knowing there was no arguing with him. The Woman took out a map from her pouch a map setting it against the ground it had been carefully printed, and had several positions of the moon, and key locations of the guards of the castle. Everything was planed out where they would go, and how they would travel. Up to the king's chambers.
"Expect heavy resistance, Carry plenty of Arrows Ferric, and you too Kaolin." Niko looked at both the archers. Ferric and Kaolin they were top-notch archers who could hit there mark a league away. They spoke of nothing only making sure they had plenty of ammunition for the assault of the Castle, and the sprint through the city. Niko pointed at Random points of the map moving his finger like a cursor pinpointing where they should be at any given time.
"We move at the midnight when the moon reaches its peak." He spoke once more, but found himself cut off by his party.
"We know Niko." One of the twins spoke slouching placing one of his palms on his hip taking a relaxed carefree pose. Niko smiled up at him, and playfully grabbed his foot, pulling it from underneath of him. His back feel softly against the dewy grass.
"Okay Kirin tell us." Niko spoke to Kirin, and he sat up to a sitting position where his heels were together, and his flung his finger towards the map.
"We enter the city through the sewer system. Travel through these pipes here, here, and here, turning here until we reach check point B." He said confidently, until his brother smacked his head from behind
"No we go the other way when we come to the intersection" He pointed out to Kirin.
"Good job Blair." Niko smiled, and Kirin snarled at his brother. Ferric and Kaolin were quiet watching closely taking mental notes.
Niko rose standing upright pointing to the castle.
"We should reach checkpoint B within before the moon reaches about… there." Niko pointed up to the sky.
Kirin spoke up again after rubbing his newly formed bump on his head down.
"Yea after check point B, we enter the city, and rush towards the first wall. Since its only twenty feet we can easily jump right over it." Niko nodded palming his chin listening to the young Kirin speak. Ferric and Kaolin walked up from behind Niko, and knelt down gazing at the map. Hardened soldiers they were, and had seen many fights. They weren't amateurs by any means.
"This is where it gets fun." Niko stood up having the map in his hands, as he pointed to the castle itself.
"We scale the west wall expect extremely heavy resistance. The Castle at this point hosts about 700 soldiers, luckily for us the other 2000 are out to war. We can handle a few grunts can't we? Don't get cocky though move passed your checkpoints as quick as you can. Kirin, Blair your job is to make it that your archers don't run out of ammo. If they do you'll have a lot of work to do."
Niko rolled up the map, and handed it to Mia. She quickly grabbed it, and stuffed it in her satchel in which she was leaving behind. The tents were left up, and the fire was put out. They didn't need anything unnecessary. They figured if they were successful which they knew they were going to be, they could come back, and grab there belongs….
How wrong I was that Night, Only one of us would return, but we would not be beaten by the Hyrulain Guards… someone else, Some one no one would expect to show up, not even the King himself.
