Well, back again to make another update! Woo me! Yes, well, um… disclaimer time!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Legend Of Zelda, and if you think I do, you are a tangerine sucking cock walloper. Hah, excuse me!
Darreth walked through the morning shadow with Tyrus. " Sh… they tend to have a patrol on guard 24/7, walking the perimeter around the encampment." Darreth said to Tyrus, and he nodded. There was the crunch of a twig, Darreth picked up a stick. "Unless whoever's hiding comes out into the open, I will be forced to kill you with this piece of wood." And there was a chuckling from behind the two. "You always had that talent of improvisation when fighting." Darreth turned to see a girl wearing a tight black ninja suit, with a ponytail of white hair sticking out of the back of her mask that obscured her face, except her eyes, and on her sleeve was the crying eye.
Darreth sighed, and dropped the stick. "Hey sis, good thing it's you or I'd have to beat down a guard again…" And Darreth's sister frowned. "You're the one who beat up Tec?" And Darreth grinned sheepishly. "Maaaaaybe… I never really did like that boyfriend of yours. He seems like an awfully polite rapist to me." And she shrugged. "Hey, shut it, you're just jealous I have someone, and you don't." And Darreth looked angered but regained himself.
"Naw, I prefer to freelance than to get caught up in a relationship, Tae." He said, and a grin touched her lips under her mask. "Excuses, just excuses to hide that fact hat no one loves you." She said with a mocking glare, and even through the mask, her ear-to-ear grin was visible. "Oh, shut up, before I beat you with the stick. I have some interesting info I have to give to the clan, on the premise that they bring me back in." He said pointing to Tyrus that Tae obviously hadn't noticed.
"Is that… the prince? You KIDNAPPED HIM?" She practically, yelled, and Tyrus shook his head quickly. "No, no no! I asked him, as duty as my guard to take me from the castle, I have left the Royal Family as of late… due to, strange circumstances." He said, and she looked wearily towards Darreth. "Um… well, I don't know, you screwed up the family name so much, we had to disavow you as part of our family, if your wrong about this, and we might have to kill you…" She said with a deadpan face. Darreth shrugged. " I'll risk it." He said, and Tyrus seemed appalled at the sheikah culture. How could a family just, abandon a family member because they messed up? He didn't even do anything wrong! This is my entire fault; Darreth shouldn't bear the shame for me…
Then the three entered the village. The guard stopped Tae, who was leading the bunch. "Tae, what is your brother doing here? Wasn't he exiled?" He asked, and Darreth growled at him. He nudged Tyrus. "That's Tec." And Tyrus whispered back. "He seems nice…" And Darreth shook his head. "I can see through this guy, he's scum, Tae can do better." He said, and Tyrus grinned. "Aw, how sweet. You just want the best for Tae." And Darreth grinned. "Shut it before I have to knock you into tomorrow." And Tyrus grinned. After a short conversation, Tae kissed Tec, and then they moved on, and Darreth seemed to holding in fury. "Tae, do you happen to have Divine Bolt scroll on you?" And she shook her head, confused. "Why would I?" And Darreth frowned. "No reason." Soon they made it to the Elder's house.
Tae walked in and bowed quickly to a man with short black hair that seemed to be thinning, but Darreth did not. Tae growled at her younger brother. "Bow before he skewers you!" And Darreth grinned. " But I'm not an official Sheikah anymore, I don't hold any privileges or responsibilities here anymore, so I don't have to bow." And the man nodded. "He is right. So what has brought an exile into an elder's home, without order?" The man asked, his face as cold as finely chiseled mountain rock. And Darreth cleared his throat, and Tyrus stepped forward, and bowed quickly. "Um, sir, it is I, Tyrus, Prince and heir to the Royal Family throne." The man stood up and bowed.
"It's an honor, what brings Royalty of Hyrule here, deep into the forest?" And Tyrus coughed, awkwardly. "I'm not part of the Royal Family anymore, it having a part in me leaving it" he said, sitting down, and explaining the whole story, the shadow growing within them, feeding off of their negative emotions towards the other races, and about the possibility of it spreading across the Land like some infectious plague, causing war, death destruction, and ultimately, the annihilation of the seven races.
The man nodded. "Yes, I have felt what you have spoken of. The Sheikah are sensitive to spirits… whereas I'm not the strongest, I am the most spiritually in tune." And Tyrus nodded. "Well, will Darreth be re-allowed into his Clan?" and The man smiled. "I never said he would be reinstated." Darreth picked up a pen off of the desk nearby. Tae laughed. "No, put it down. If you kill him, you won't be let in, you'll be marked as an enemy." And the Elder grinned. "Oh don't worry. He's re-deemed himself. And he did all of this in Sheikah code, as if he was still part of the clan, and this info will be invaluable. I will be sending out scouts to investigate the goings-on in the castle. Darreth jumped up. "Oh yeah, back in the clan, oh yeah!" And then, a sheikah scout ran in. "um, sir, would you mind looking at this?" And he handed what looked like a Hylian Poster.
It had an accurate drawing of Darreth, and it said in big bold letters: WANTED: Darreth Whitemane, for kidnapping the prince, murdering 3 royal guards, and is held responsible for the disappearance of a low ranking guard, and treason against the family. Reward: 100,000 rupees, dead or alive. Tyrus frowned. "My father didn't believe that I had written that note of my own free will. But what they don't take into consideration, is what motive does Darreth have for kidnapping me?" And The Elder stood up. "Maybe there is a "Secret" on some sort of protection of the kingdom only Royal Family members knew about, and that's why he took you." And The Elder frowned.
"Gather up the tents and villagers and the Sheikah Forces. We're relocating. They probably presume that this was an action on my behalf." He said to the guard, and he nodded, and ran outside and began to shout in sheikah. Then the Elder's cold eyes strayed to Darreth. "And you… wander, and hide. The best idea is to go hide in Shady Vale, the town that was formed in complete neutrality of all the races. There are a couple of hideouts, you know of one. Hide there, I'll wire ahead to tell them you're coming." And Darreth nodded.
The three left the house, and Tae left after about 15 feet. "Don't get killed out there, you're pretty little head is worth more now than it's ever had before." She said, and he grinned. "Thanks. Say bye to mom for me." He said, and she nodded. Tyrus glanced at Darreth. "So, is it customary for siblings to work insulting compliments into every sentence?" And Darreth shook his head. "It's a family curse. We're all sharp tongued to each other." He said with a grin. They finally made it out of the forest, and made it out into noon sunlight. But instead of being greeted with a warm breeze, and gentle sun, Darreth got a string of harsh insults, and his arm almost lopped off.
A Gerudo stood there, in Hylian garb, wearing baggy deep blue pants and a white tunic, with a backpack slung over her shoulder, and scimitar sheaths on her belt. She was standing about a few feet away from Darreth, scimitars at ready. She blew a strand of fire red hair out of her eyes. But what confused and dazzled Darreth at the same time, was her eyes. One was a deep sapphire color, that of the sea, and one bright topaz eye, the color of the sand. He was wondering how two eyes in one head could be different colors when he barely managed to dodge, out of instincts, a whizzing scimitar that as it cut through the air, caused almost a shrieking sound.
She threw a poster on the ground, the wanted poster. "Dead or alive. And since you're a sheikah… I say dead." She said, taking a menacing step towards Darreth, but he didn't back away, or step forward. "Won't you un-sheath your weapon? It'll be your fault that I'll enjoy killing you that much more…You Sheikah. Such wastes of talent. You could be thieving, and pillaging, you could be the richest race of them all! But no, you virtuous wastes cant swallow your pride." And Darreth reaches into his pocket, and pulled out a 4-foot long piece of rope, which he wrapped, and tied around his wrist, creating a make-shift whip. "I bet I can beat you with this piece of rope." She squinted her eyes. As much as she hated the Sheikah, there was something about this one… she found interesting.
She charged at him, and he jumped out of the way, the screaming scimitar whizzing by so close to him, he could feel the wind. As he landed, the second swipe came, and cut deep into his left arm, and he stifled a shout of pain. He lashed the whip at her, and it wrapped around the hilt of her weapon, and this surprised her. Then he launched the scimitar flying away form him. He lashed out again, and disarmed her again, and a third time he lashed out, he wrapped the rope around her feet. "What the hell?" And Darreth grinned, as she fell over and struggled to pull the rope off her ankles, but to no avail. "Sheikah rope trick." He said, as he took out another piece of rope and tried to hold down the Gerudo as he tied her arms tightly to her sides.
But this feisty Gerudo wouldn't let him. She punched him dead in the nose, and there was a crunching noise as he went reeling backwards. " OW! YOU BITCH!" And he motioned for Tyrus to help out too. With their joined efforts, they managed to tie her down. Before they left, Darreth cleaned and wrapped his deep wound that the Gerudo had inflicted on him. His nose had also stopped bleeding, and he had thrown the Gerudo over his shoulder, and she continued to squirm. "So, what's your name anyway?" And the Gerudo began to shout. "Oh, Shuddap, you're making this seem worse than it is." He said with a sharp slap in a place where the Gerudo got angry and head-butt him in the spine, and he fell over. "OW! STOP DOING THAT!" He said, and she growled. " Than never EVER put your hand there again." She said, and he shrugged, and threw her slim body over his shoulder. "Whatever." He said with a grin.
"So, could I get you name?" And she seemed to quiet down, even though her disgust for him was ever present in her voice. "Milane." And Darreth was silent. "You already know who I am." He said with a grin. Milane looked towards Tyrus. "So why's the Prince of Hyrule so quiet?" She asked. "Well, he's always like that. Very soft-spoken boy. He tends to keep to himself, unless he's directly involved. That, and he likes to think a little too much." He said with a grin. Milane scowled. "How would you know anyway?" She said, and Darreth purposely nearly dropped her. "I've been his guard ever since I was 10." He said, and she became angry again. "DON'T DO THAT! If you do, I swear I will hurt you!" And Darreth grinned. "Suuure. Well, off to Shady Vale."
