The journey for truth

[Deleted]

"Ay, that dragon's true." Had he ever seen the dragon? Pfft, no. Did he believe legends his parents told him? Some. Was he fond of adventure and fire breathing serpents? Yes. At the mention of the princess, Zak looked around and spotted Zelda herself. He'd never been this close to her, and it was an honor to be in her presence. He also saw that dastardly princess of the Twili. Such dark dwelling beings didn't belong in this world, but he wasn't about to start acting all hostile toward the princess of their land. He'd just take out the little ones where no one could see him. "If you don't mind, guardian of the princess, I'm heading this way and I'd like to follow your company to the ore mine."

[Gannondorf]

Zelda smiled and looked at the dwarf "Hello there!" She said sweetly. She was never rude to any citizens for her mother taught her otherwise. She treated even the lowest peasant as royalty for sometimes that bit of kindness could win her a follower and a friend. "I would be honored if you joined us."

Lydia placed her hands on her hips and looked over the man "Well Ysabel and the princess seem to trust you so I guess you're in." she placed her hand on his shoulder and let him know that she was going to be watching him silently. Not that she didn't trust him, it was just the nature of her job. "So what have you heard about the dragon?"

[Lufia]

Attlas sighed, another person had joined in. It wasn't he was anti-social, but really hated being in large groups. He flicked his ears as he moved before stopping and sniffing the air, "Aw shit..." he mumbled as he sniffed, "Bokoblins. At least... Sixteen of them." he continued as he turned his head at the direction they are coming from, "they're coming from that way. I can't hear anything else other than how far away they are, which is about... sixty meters." he stopped and waited for Lydia or someone to give commands,

"Alright. Sounds like a fight" Famia said smiling as she drew her spear, Amaterasu nodded as she drew her sword, and tossed a fabricated spear to Lydia,

"Use this with Attlas' maneuverability!" she ordered before looking at the others, "Anyone whom can fight, we need at least another person. Any takers?" she asked.

"Milady." Zak bowed to the princess, hoping to show his sincerity and honorability. That young woman sure was a sight to behold. He smiled up at Lydia, and was about to explain when he heard some profanity and the word 'bokoblins'. His attention diverted completely to the fox-man, and Zak's eyes began to flit a bit more quickly.

A battle against those rotten creatures, and on his home turf? Oh, Zak was definitely in. "I'll help." He tried to curb his enthusiasm, but it managed to escape anyhow. Fighting with a dwarf wasn't much different than fighting with a full grown man, only he was smaller and was pretty bloodthirsty when it came down to the last one standing. He couldn't help it; he got caught up in the moment. Especially when it was against those stupid creatures who spread like wildfire.

Ysabel wasn't going to risk the opportunity to get hurt, so she chose to sit atop the pack horse and watch as leadership and a party were created.

[Gannondorf]

Lydia dripped the spear. It was of poor quality and make and she never used someone else's weapons no matter how dire the situation. "I don't need that." she said dashing towards the foul creatures. It didn't matter how big or how many there were she was determined to kill them all.

Zelda waved the non fighters over. "Come on!" she said charging her horse up the mountains.

Just as Zelda began to run a large roar echoed through the mountains that shook the rocks themselves. The beast roared again and flew over head pushing all below away with the gust from it's mighty wings.

Dorien watched, not sure what to do in this situation... He wasn't one to fight and he would prefer not to begin the habit now. He sat hon his horse for the time being, waiting to see how things would go. If, and only if, he was needed, he would fight. Not a moment sooner. For now, he would follow Zelda.

Midna had climbed up onto the horse, settling herself in behind Zelda. He held tightly when Zelda lurched her horse forward. Midna wasn't too keen on horses to begin with, and she wasn't sure how to act around the beasts.

Zephyr, though he loved fighting, took after Zelda and the others. His pretty face meant much more to him and he wouldn't take the risk. He wanted to live to fight another day.

[Lufia]

Attlas turned, and had his front down in an offensive stance, "They're close-" he said before the dragon cut him off, "For fuck's sake. That dragon is going to piss me off!" he barked as the Bokoblins came out into sight, which made him charge with Lydia on his back, "Go!" he yelled to the others. Whom charged towards the opposing Bokoblins with haste. though seeing the dwarf, Amaterasu peeled off,

"Zelda! Stay closer to the foot of the mountain! I don't want this group separated!" she yelled to Zelda, loud enough that she was heard and clear, she soon turned to the Bokoblins, "Now for this problem"

The day hell froze over was the day Zakari didn't do his best to fend off some baddies from people he was trying to protect. It was best to dispatch them, not run, but he understood the need for the princess's safety. There were sixteen of them, most of which seemed to be relatively low status. The one with the horn was the one in charge, and the one who could call in reinforcements. Taking a moment to look them over, Zak found the one with the horn and advanced toward it, another stepping into his path and trying to stop him from reaching their leader, or just hungry for a bite of flesh, he didn't know. Wielding his axe, on the defensive for only a moment, he swiftly decapitated the Bokoblin without a second thought. The leader had to be taken out, lest there be more advancing within a few moments. Times like these were those where he wished he'd learned to wield a bow.

Ysabel hadn't gotten the chance to get the pack horse to move; stubborn one it was, and was left to watch the Bokoblins approach and the dragon roar so loud she thought the skin on her face was about to peel off. She looked up, hoping to catch a glimpse of the beast, but saw naught. Hand on the hilt of her blade, she hoped no bokoblins were stupid enough to approach. She took it upon herself to protect the horse and the dwarf's pony, just in case something should happen to them.

((Lydias on foot))

The dragon peered over the mountain and roared to the foul beasts. It's jaw opened and let out a terrible hiss.

Lydias eyes shot open and she ducked behind a rock "GET DOWN!" she yelled as a massive ball of flames consumed the creatures. The fire shot over the cover she was hiding behind yet did not burn her.

Zelda screamed as her horse reared up and knocked her to the ground. "N-No way!" she said staring at the massive lizard.

The dragon landed in the middle of the hostile group and smashed one of the monsters in the chest with it's tail causing it to fly off the mountain.

[Lufia]

Attlas noticed the dragon and fell back, "OH SHIT! OHH SHIT!" he yelped as he ran back noticing Zelda was knocked over by her horse. Not knowing what was going to happen, he used himself as a shield as he said something, "Fox Fire Defense!" which put a blue field around himself and Zelda, the flames soon surrounded the flames as he remained over Zelda as a reserved shield. Though Fmaia noticed the flames and jumped, soaring high in the sky as she watched the dragon, ready to strike. And Amaterasu remained where she was. With a golden shield around her, which stopped the flames near both her and the horse,

"Damn it Dur!" she yelled in draconian, knocking the flames away, "watch it! There are other beings here!"

[Gannondorf]

The dragon snapped it's jaws down on the last creature and threw it to the side. "My condolences courier of the gods." The dragon said in common tongue "I am Dur Rak Kov." he said standing on his hind legs and spreading his massive wings. "Is that the wisdom I feel?" he asked looking at Zelda.

"Y-yes..." Zelda said in fear.

"Ah the high princess of Hyrule. It is an honor." Dur said slowly.

[Lufia]

Attlas soon transformed into his human form, "Well. That was... Hot..." he said putting out a small flame on his tail, "My fur does not like fire..." he said laughing a little, though looking at the dragon, uneasy, though turned to Zelda reaching an arm out, "you okay your highness?" he asked smiling as he said that. Soon Famia came back down in typical dragoon manner, which was light, yet noticeable to close persons that a dragoon came down from a jump,

"Well hello there Dova" she said smiling looking a bit gentle, to say that she won't harm the dragon. Soon Amaterasu spoke,

"None needed." she said before looking at Zelda and Attlas, "Wisdom and courage are present Dur. Please do not knock them off the mountain. Though I'm sure the courage would be fine in saving the two."

[Deleted]

"Holy shit," Zak mumbled, having taken cover behind a rock. "It does exist." Of course it did. Legend said it did. There was truth behind legend. He didn't expect it to be this true.

Ysabel, eyes wide, stared at the fire breathing lizard. She didn't know being in its presence would be this demanding of her, nor did she know how brave these two horses were until they just stood there and stared at the creature dumbly. They were well trained. She didn't like this. It was too big, too firey, and she just wanted to go home. No, it was too late now, and she was here now to watch and learn.

[Gannondorf]

Dur looked at Ysabel "You have been with the white woman from the woods yes? The Kross?" he asked slowly walking over to her. He had no intent to harm her, only to know her story.

Lydia shook her head and walked up to the dwarf "I'll be damned..." she mumbled.

"I sense the presence of courage wisdom and purity. I know who is the wisdom but the strength and purity? Tell me goddess of the sun. Who bears these? The purity is strong enough to be present even though it's owner isn't here!"

[Deleted]

Izzy nodded in response to the dragon's question, gripping the pack horse's mane. This was not what she bargained for, to say the least. Being addressed by a dragon was something she had never expected to have happen. Why her? Zelda was Isabel's kid, for God's sake! "I have been." She felt it rude to not answer aloud.

"I feel I've already been damned." He looked up at Lydia and raised an eyebrow. "Can you believe this?" He was still seriously interested in the secrets behind her eyes, but he didn't want to inquire about it here. That may or may not be uncalled for, and he figured she had something to do with the kitsune man.
