There and Back Again
chapter 10: operation: prison break
location: lake arrius caverns
Link and Zelda stand in front of the door... they both exchange nods and head in. it isnt long before they come into contact with an Agent of the Mythic dawn.
they make their way to the agent.
"Dawn is breaking..."
'Greet the new day'
'Greet the new day brother'
"Ah... its been a while scince we've had two new people come in for the new light... when i open the door continue on down the tunnel untill you see Harrow... he will explain more... welcome to the brotherhood."
"Thank you... im Link by the way. this is my compatriot Zelda... shes my sister."
"Wonderful! the pleasures all mine... quickly! the master's speaking... dont waste anymore time!"
The slightly deranged mythic agent shoved them past the door and straight into a dark elf.
"Oof!"
"Whoa! sorry! um... Harrow?"
"Yes, that is me you imbicel... what do you two want? im on my way to... oh! youre the new kids! come! right this way!"
Harrow leads Link and Zelda to a large chamber and turns to them...
"Ok... take off your clothes and give me your equipment."
"What?"
"Girl, must i repeat myself? take off your clothes... give me your equipment... and put on these robes... you dont need your things, Lord Dagon will supply you with everything you need."
"Oh... ok"
"I swear... the new recruits get more and more daft with each passing dawn..."
Link and Zelda, both glare at harrow as he turns his back to them. They stip down to thier undergarments and they slip on the robes and its accessories.
"There done."
"Give me the equipment boy!"
"Here."
"This way please!"
Link and Zelda follow closeley as the slightly bi-polar Harrow leads them to a gigantic chasm where theres a huge statue of Mehrunes Dagon... the sheer size of the statue elicts a soft "holy shit..." from Link. They continue down two flights of stairs down to the small croud of acolytes that are similarly dressed as Harrow and they all tune themselves into the words of the man in blue robe.
"And when our Mighty Lord walks upon Tamriel again, the confused people of the false Gods shall be made slave to all of us!!"
'So sayeth the Lord Dagon... praise be!'
"I go now to paradise! I shall return with our Lord when he comes to reclaim Tamriel as his own!"
The man in blue turns on his heel and opens a strange portal and walks in... and before the portal vanishes, Links heart falls as he sees the Amulet of Kings dagleing off his neck. the woman that was standing next to the blue robed man steps fourth.
"Harrow! who are those people you brought with you?"
"Ruma! these are the two new initiates! they wish to bind themselves to the service of Lord Dagon!"
"Come forth initiates!"
Link and Zelda briefly look at each other before heading up the stairs to Ruma Camoran.
"You must satisfy Lord Dagon's thirst for blood with red drink! bring out the sacrifices!"
Four Mythic Dawn agents bring out two prisoners... an Argonian... and a young blonde girl. they lay the prisoners down on two altars and the agents leave to join the crowd.
"Dagon thirsts... take these daggers and sate him!"
Ruma hands Link and Zelda the daggers and they turn and walk towards the prisoners... Zelda in front of the Argonian and Link in front of the girl... they raise their daggers at the same time and Link looks down at the girl. Tears flow from her beautiful emerald green eyes... Link looks upon her bound and gagged form and back to her face... her eyes hold a look of confusion when Link smiles and winks at her... all untill...
"ZELDA! NOW!"
Link and Zelda turn on their heels and throw their daggers at the nearest agents... Zelda's buries itself in Harrows neck and Links finds its way to Ruma's heart. Link then quickly throws himself into and tackles another stunned agent as Zelda dives for Ruma's staff. Link and the agent struggle a bit before Link snatches the agent's shortsword and stabs him with it... Zelda then kills two Agents with a bolt of lighting from Ruma's staff. Two more agents die at Links hand when they blindly charge at him in rage... and the last agent runs at Zelda... only to trip on his robes and fall down the stairs and break his neck... Link and Zelda unbind the prisoners. the Argonian just runs away and the girl sits up.
"Are you alright?"
"I am now thanks to you guys... I thoght i was as good as dead!"
"Whats your name?"
"I'm Kisari Faustina."
"I'm Link Shelton... Zelda Hycrellian is the one that untied you."
"The pleasure's mine... what do you say we get out of here?"
"Yeah... but first we need to bring something back to our... employers... scince we failed to get the amulet back."
"How about that book Link?"
"Good idea... see? Zelda's the smart one... im just spontaneous... are you hurt in anyway?"
"No... but you may want to use protection when you get that book... you never know if it may hurt you in any way..."
"Oh its just a wierd book! what harm could it do?"
"Dont say i didnt warn you...'
Kisari gets to her feet and picks up a dagger while Link goes to get the book... upon grabbing the book, it snaps shut... with Links hand in the middle...
"FUCK! OW!"
"I warned you..."
"I'll just pretend you didnt say anything and blame it on my spontaneous... ness."
"Hehe... youre pretty funny."
"I get that alot... Zelda, lets get out of here"
"Yeah sure lets go."
Link motions Zelda toward the book and Zelda picks up the book and carefully cradles it in her arms... and as she takes the first step...
rumble rumble... CRACK!
"What the... AH! crap! run! the statues falling!"
Link exclaims as the statue of Mehrunes Dagon starts to fall down. the threesome dives for the deck as the statue smashes and completley obliterates where they were just standing.
"Damn... that was close... come on girls... lets get moving."
And just as soon as the words leave Links mouth...
BAM!
"Oh for Talos' sake... please tell me that wasnt what i thought that was..."
"The gate we came in just closed..."
"Fuck... thanks for the info Kisari... ok lets find another exit..."
They all go up the opposite stairs that Link and Zelda came down before and they find another door... they all walk through and they find themselves in a kitchen... they round a corner... and the threesome and the mythic dawn cook all start screaming as they practically all plow into each other... the cook turns and runs then makes a half-ass attempt at hitting Link when he throws his kitchen knife... they all follow the cook as he sprints out of an alternate exit and down past the argonian sacrifice... and down out of sight.
"What was that all about?"
"I have no idea... but thanks for saving me!"
"Who are you?"
"My name is Jeelieus... i work at the Temple of the One in the Imperial City... i thank you for saving me"
"Not a problem... do you need anything else?"
"I at least need a loin cloth... or something i can use as one..."
The three look down and...
"Dude! cover up!"
"I cant! I dont have anything... I do know where all our stuff is though..."
"Good!... that means i dont have to run around wearing nothing but the few pieces of cloth that they tied me up with"
"At least you have something... lead the way Jeelieus... i need my equipment back..."
"Follow."
They walk back into the caverns and round a corner and go down another hall...
"and it should all be here!"
And sure enough... when they open the crate, they find all of thier stuff... the argonians priest robes... and Kisari's undergarments...
"What happened to MY clothes!?"
"Just wear one of these robes... i wish i could give you some of my clothes... but i only have one set..."
"Thanks Zellie... I can call you that right?"
"Sure... lets get going."
"Lets just get going... Martin's probably worried sick... the little dickens..."
They all laugh as Link and Zelda change into their traveling clothes and Jeelieus and Kisari put on their robes. they walk back out side and part ways.
Location: Cloud Ruler Temple
The threesome walk into the barracks of the temple... and pull up an extra bedroll for Kisari into their little corner... Zelda hands Kisari her extra night gown because they are conveniently the same size. then they all unceremoniously and even more ungracefully drop onto their respective bedrolls... Link and Zelda on a large one and Kisari on another one five feet away... they sleep peacefully untill the next morning.
...The next day...
They all stand in front of the fireing squad... consisting of Martin, Jauffre and Baurus... Zelda then tosses the Mysterium Xarxes on the table in front of Martin...
"BY THE NINE! SUCH A THING IS DANGEROUS EVEN TO HANDLE!"
"We know... it tried to eat Links hand."
"yup... it hurt too"
"No worries... I know ways to protect myself against its evil magics... so go on and take the day off... and introduce me to your new friend there later... I dont want to sound rude but I need to start making myself immune to the magic... and before you ask, yes I was worried."
"Wow... ok then... thanks... and bye!"
From there... the three head down to Bruma to buy Kisari some new clothes. On the way down the path Kisari asks Link and Zelda...
"Why didnt you tell me that you worked for the Emperor... or whoever that guy was?"
"You never asked..."
"Hmm... He's kinda cute..."
"NO Kisari..."
"Meh... he's a little too old for me anyways... Im only 18."
