Thris looked at Link. "Come on, we're going, and you're going to be tortured." he said with a wicked grin, in an evil tone that made Link want to piss himself. "Cast the spell here, too. And DO NOT teleport out of the throne room, or we WILL kill you." Thris said, as he wrapped his scaly hand around his neck, and dragged him from the room. "I have to make it look believable." He said, as he dragged Link. "Struggle, too, so it look even more realistic." He said, and Link was, already.
"Let me go, you ass!" Link exclaimed, as Thris dragged him through winding hallways. "Whats this, Thris?" A passerby said, stopping Thris. "Little bastard was caught whispering in the darkness of treason to my father. I've come to bring him myself to father, and keep him in reign." He said, and Thris booted Link. "OW!" Link exclaimed, and Thris' companion kept talking to Thris, which wasn't part of the plan.
Back in the room, Cyra and Rue sat on the sunken couch, staring at the orb of green light. Rue was wearing his headband over his eyes, and seemed to be in thought. "Cyra... you weren't born a sheikah, were you?" He asked, and she was shocked. "How did you know?" And Rue shrugged. "You don't ... seem like one." He said, and Cyra blinked. "Well, an important .. family member of mine went missing, and he was the only thing that kept me going. So I took on training as a Sheikah, became a Seer, and ended up here, a year after searching. Maybe he fell down here... but if he did... he'd have died by now... back then, he was a huge wimp." She laughed, and Rue grinned, because he knew what she meant. He had people relying on him way back when, when he was young, and a big wimp as well, and looking at it now, it was almost funny.
"How'd you get in here?" She asked, and Rue shrugged. "I ran an errand for my mother. Was never able to return. My mom had warned me about rumors of bad children getting kidnapped by monsters in the forest, and she mentioned it, because she was worried about me, and I had been a little pain in the ass for a while... and she told me that the monsters could smell the badness in one's heart, and that once they had you, they'd through you into jail, for you to die. I didn't believe it.. til I get locked up in here. I wonder how my mothers been faring without me.. how many years has it been? ... One, if I figure correctly... Though being here feels like it cut five off y lifetime..." he said, and Cyra blinked a few times.
"That's interesting... Do you remember any of the names of your family? Friends, maybe?" And Rue shook his head. "No, I don't even remember my real name. I forgot it... along with my entire life before this hell. All I hold onto is my life, and the reason why I'm here. That's all I've ever needed." He said coldly. She frowned. "You've been here so long.. your minds been horribly warped." She said, and Rue shrugged. "I'm sure I'll be able to bend it back into shape once I get out." he said, and Cyra frowned, and hugged him.
"Why are you hugging me...?" Rue asked, as he wrapped his arms around her. "Because you havn't been held by someone who cares in so long..." She said, buryingg her face in his chest. "You care about me?" He asked, hugging her tightly. "I always have..." She said, confusing him, but he didn't care. He was happy for the first time in a long while.
Thris finally got away from his companion after a little while using his hostage as a reason. Thris said farewell to the lizardman, and head towards the Throne Room. The should be able to do what I asked form the info from the map I showed them... let's hope this works... because if it doesn't... we're all going to rot in this hell, forever.
Thris approached a guard of the main entrance. "Halt, what purpose are you here for, and why do you bring a human with you?" One of the lizards asked, suspiciously. "I have a case of open treason against the King, this dirty little human was recruiting people to break out and assassinate the King." And the lizards looked shocked. "Yeah, yeah! I did it! Big freaking deal, you're all the weird motherfuckers who put me in this place!" He exclaimed, and the allowed Thris in right away.
"Son... this is an odd event... usually you mind your own business and tend to your own affairs." The King said, draped in royal robes of gold and crimson, his scales a bronze color, where Thris' were a silver color, something he gained from his mother. "Yes, but this cretin has claimed open treason against you, and planned to ruin your little kingdom for punishing humans." and at these words, the King sat bolt upright. "Really now? And he admits it?" And Thris held up Link. "Yes! I did it, and I will succeed, you scaly bastard! You're going to die!" He yelled, and Thris clenched his scaly hand around Link's throat, and choked him, to keep him from saying more than was necessary.
"May I torture him myself, father? Anyone who openly opposes my only family, deserves the most crule punishment... may I?" And Thris' father seemed ecstatic. "I never knew you cared so much! Please, go ahead! And leave his remains to me, I shall eat them as his punishment, and his bones crafted into jewlery for me." He said, and Thris smiled wickedly, and led Link into the torture room, directly left of the Throne.
"Begone, court torturer! My father has allowed me to take care of this one myself." Thris said, and the lizard left the room quickly, at the sound of Thris' hard voice. Once he left, Thris opened his cloak, and handed him his master sword, and shield from his back. "Here, take your weapons. Now, I want you, with me, to approach the Throne, and hold out the gem as a gesture of apology.. but he'll still order me to kill you after you've given him it, so hold it out, and the rest of our plan will come together." he said, and Thris stood at the stone door, and walked out.
"My King and Father, our pitiful human has come to bring an offering of apology for his ways." He said, and Thris led him to the Throne, where the King stood, two guards standing at his flanks. behind him, was a great large gaping doorway, and at the very end, was a dot of light, the exit from the tunnel. The exit was so close. Link approached the King, and held out Farores Wind. "Here, please forgive me, King." He said, holding it out, just out of his reach. "But, my liege, I'm sorry to say..."
"Rue!" She said, pulling away from Rue quickly before the narrator could describe what was going on. "The orb! It's time!" She said, and Rue got up, and put his blindfold back on, as they both rushed into the orb of light, and became a part of it.
Back in the Throne Room, Link was holding out the gem. "...That this is the end of your reign." he said, as two flashes of green light jumped at the King, both dropkicking the guards out of the way, as Link took Thris hostage, (not quite a part of his plan, but he played along) and Cyra took the King hostage.
"Don't you dare close the doors, or your King and his heir dies!" Link exclaimed, and Thris caught onto what Link had planned. Again, stroke of brilliance. They had no evidence that Thris was on their side, yet. "Please, do what they say!" The King exlcaimed, as Cyra chanted an incantation to keep the King from moving from her grip. The guards we at a disadvantage, their beloved King hostage, as well as his son, and one of them, Rue, was making sure none of them got close enough to take back their hostages.
"Fine... fine. Do what you will... we'll let three petty humans go, as long as we can keep punishing more of them." The head of the Guard said. They all began backing towards the large door way, where a huge slab of stone would've fallen and they would've been locked in if they hadn't gotten to the King in time. As they got in the doorway, the head of the Guard spoke in lizard, and one of the guards who stood next to the button thatd lock them in, opened a hidden compartment in the door. "Hurry! They're locking the outside door! This one, I've heard about, it's actually reversible, meaning it can open and close at will! Kill the king and run for it!" Thris called to Cyra, and she did so...
