ZORA'S DOMAIN

SpoofAPP 10:48 PM The ever vigilant Zora's Domain! No place is quite as guarded as this place. The birthplace of the waters of Hyrule spill forth from where the aquatic peoples call home, rushing along as it always has and babbling gently where the river connects with the fields. The infamous corridor that leads further in is now well patrolled and guarded by warriors having had enough of monsters coming in and polluting their home with their towers and refuse....

Well, that's how it used to be. Even the Zora found themselves lifted when the waters came and submerged everything. The Domain is still accessible, even to travelers, but there's been a slight problem with the current landscape or seascape, so to speak. The waters are brined and the Zora are freshwater. They've been...stuck, to say the least. The fresh water still exits the domain as it always has, but there's a clear dividing point where the fresh water and salt water meet. However, Hyrule, in all its mystery and perhaps by divine foresight, has created a network of sorts for them to navigate. Beneath the sea. there are rivers that flow outward across the ocean and sea floor that manage to connect them to different places. Much like the Forest, the river connected with enough of the land to keep its people connected. All is not lost, but it is a great undertaking to manage and adjust to.

Monsters yet persist with the occasional lizalfos, octorok and tektite skitting around on beaches and shallows. Even moblins have managed to find their way here, having just enough know how to scrape together crude rafts and boats to float along with. But the Zora are still here, fighting them off and keeping their home free of these pests and doing well, so far. They may be uncertain of how long this will keep up, but they're determined to fight to the end.

Irina:snowflake: 10:40 AM Irina flies over the domain a bit more gracefully than she left, luckily. During the flight, she has gotten used to the height and the quick turns from her young companion, whom isn’t very used to carrying people around either. It seems like they both have much to learn.

It’s been a while since Irina was here, but what’s under them is very different from what She remembers. Part of the domain is underwater and the Zora who are not used to salt water are almost stuck in small areas. Monsters attacking here and there, and those who can fight seem to just be doing what they can without any kind of organization.

Irina lands on the bridge and dismounts, walking towards the fountain in the middle and looking around while patting her bird companion.

EduAPP 12:37 PM There seems to be a figure flying in the sky, flying ever closer to Zora's domain. Was it a Rito? No... It appeared to be a man for certain. Though his wings seemed Mechanical... And attached to his arms. He swooped down to the ground, thrusters kicking off to slow his descent as he lands in front of Irina, the wings retracting into his mechanical arms. It was Edu. He gave a small smile and a slight bow. "Hello there, Barmaid." He speaks softly. Seems he has more control over himself than he did way before.

Irina:snowflake: 2:19 PM This was a very unexpected visit. Irina stands in front of the young bird, though her movements are not quick, just... cautious.

With a quick bow of her head, Irina replies. “Hello, Edu. What brings you to the Zora region, if I may ask?”

SpoofAPP 10:25 PM "Sir! There's been reports of giant birds in the skies! We were wondering what actions we should take next should they pose a threat!" A warrior Zora speaks to a nearby superior. The latter scoffs, "Are you sure it isn't just a shadow? Birds fly around very often an leave great shadows from above. I'm certain it's nothing to be concerned about. Next time, address me with news worth noting," he grumbled. The warrior fumbled mildly. "Err, yes sir, but these are no ordinary birds. They're large. Very large," he continued.

The superior grumbled to himself. "I suppose I'll entertain this claim, if only so that I can focus on the true issue at hand," he follows the warrior, looking up at the skies to spot the birds, but he sees none yet. They continue outward until they come along one of the birds on the beach and a couple of Zora approaching it trying to figure out how to manage it, the rider, and the guest that just flew in.

"There, sir!" The warrior states, keeping by the superior's side to ensure his protection. The superior's jaw hangs slack, completely bewildered by the sight. So it was true! What is Hyrule turning to? First the waters of the river run rampant and become a sea and now giant birds are just appearing in the sky! "Are you two intruders!? Stand down and see yourselves apprehended at once!" A regal voice rings out with authority towards the two on the beach. He hasn't quite made them out yet, but he wasn't here to take chances, only action.

He didn't step any further, but the adornments along his body indicated he had enough rank to command.

Irina:snowflake: 10:49 AM Irina bows her head to the two Zora, a small but warm smile appearing when she sees them. She feels home, in way, just by being around the Zora.

“My friend and I mean no harm,” Irina answers in a respectful and warm tone, obviously talking about the bird and herself — taking no responsibility for the toe-eater half-robot. “We are here to offer our help but will be happy to go wherever you wish. I know the Zora people are fair and kind, even without their royals around.” If they want to apprehend them, she has no problem with that.

MuzuAPP 4:29 PM The superior was visibly shaken for the briefest of moments. How did they know that? He decided to step closer to get a better look at who he was speaking with, just in case there was me trickery at hand. When nearer, his eyes cut to the bird as if expecting it to engage in some form.

"Ah, it's you. The other troublemaker among the Zora," he remarked, grasping at his equivalent of a mustache to stroke it thoughtfully. His hands son found themselves behind his back as he stood proud, insignia of the Council gleaming in the sun.

"And who is this?" He winced at Edu, scrutinizing him.

Irina:snowflake: 4:43 PM Muzu is not the only one who’s confused. “Troublemaker...? Sir...?” Maybe he’s mistaken her for somebody else. But she doesn’t typically see other Hylians around the domain, so maybe... he needs glasses? He called her a Zora, after all.

When he asks about Edu, she looks at him for a moment but does not reply, keeping quiet and serious as she looks back to the old Zora. When you don’t have anything good to say, it’s better to stay quiet.

EduAPP 7:07 PM "I am Edu. I guess you could say that Barkeep here and I have some history of sorts." Edu says with a small smile as he glances at Irina, always ripped with wickedness... Even though he didn't really seem to be evil... At least anymore. Maybe he's crazy? Regardless, Edu straightens up and glances back to the guard, tilting his head.

MuzuAPP 8:11 PM "Yes, troublemaker as in someone that rattles my scales," Muzu replied to Irina. "I don't know what you all have done, but the waters of the land burst forth from the depths and covered its entirety!" He shook his head. "Edu. Hmph," he was still a bit fussy. "I don't know you as well as I know her. Or that," a clawed finger raised up to point towards the loftwing. "Far too much has changed in a short time and I've little patience for rabblerousers. If any of you intend trouble, I suggest you allow the sea to sort it out. It will be much more merciful."

Irina:snowflake: 9:37 PM “Sir,” Irina replies, understanding the Zora’s concern, and realizing he does not know much about what has happened. “I am here to share information and to help in any way I can. But causing trouble is the last thing I would want. If we are more of a problem than we are help, my friend and I can leave immediately,” she says in a humble manner.

Of course, shes’s not speaking for Edu.

MuzuAPP 9:46 PM "Feh! I will believe it when I see it demonstrated." Muzu dismisses the idea of no trouble. He doesn't believe that for one second. "I've never seen you before," he pipes back up to Edu. "You too will be held to equal amounts of discrimination. Escorts will be with us at all times and should anything happen, detainment and imprisonment is an option." He finds his attention back on the bird. "We have no perches for birds of this size, but we will try to be accommodating."

Irina:snowflake: 11:26 PM He did not ask them to leave? Instead, he will try to be accomodating? That brings a warm smile to Irina's lips, although she tries not to show it too much. Maybe he's just grumpy but with a heart of gold, just like Mr. Noab. "Thank you, sir," is the answer.

"Is this a good place to talk?" She simply asks Muzu. There is no time to waste.

MuzuAPP 3:08 AM "Out here, among all these fiends? No. We will return to the safety of the Domain and leave the warriors here to take care of them. They haven't proven to be difficult, just pests," he walked off with a proud gait. "We'll talk along the way outside of their prying ears or whatever it is they have that functions as such." When he felt they were a safe distance in, he continued, "Now that we're here, what was it that you wished to discuss?"

Irina:snowflake: 12:08 AM Irina complies, following Muzu without responding to his complaints. "Sir, it seems that it was heaven's decision to flood Hyrule. To be honest, I am not familiar with how all of this works, but Princess Zelda and others believe it was the goddesses' doing to seal Ganondorf and prevent him from destroying the kingdom."

"Also, it is my understanding that our Queen is healing people all around Hyrule, since she can travel easily underwater. However, I am afraid we don't have any news about the Prince's whereabouts." There is pain on her face, clearly wishing she could give him better news.

MuzuAPP 1:28 AM Muzu's brows crinkle at the thought of Prince Sidon still missing. He is divided between relief and frustration knowing the Queen is well and attending to the needs of the people. He sighed to himself, a bit too far gone at the moment to work up any energy needed to fuss about it. "Well, it seems they've done the job..." He muttered aloud, minding the conditions around them. "To argue of a kingdom left over, however..." he waved a hand in the air. "Never mind that. We can only focus on what we can do now. We are currently working our way out from the Domain and towards the sea. Perhaps this is the boon that was needed. The rot spread by Ganondorf even managed to find its way into waters and pollute them. What advantages we thought we had were stifled, but not entirely. With these waters, we can spread out and make ourselves more available to see towards Hyrule's recovery."

Irina:snowflake: 11:53 PM "Pollute them..." Irina repeated them, wondering what had happened at the Domain. She had seen the monsters, however. Maybe there was something she could do.

"Sir," Irina continued, "I will do everything in my power to restore the Domain to the haven it was. I can help keep the monsters out, if that is what is needed, or build walls to keep the polluted waters away and the fresh water safe for the Zora to live in."

MuzuAPP 12:53 AM "You may save your energy. It won't be needed here," Muzu declined the offer politely. "The Domain is still the safest place in this part of Hyrule. However, there are other places outside of it, touched by the taint that afflicted Castle Town." As they walked, he pointed out different parts of the area where the taint managed to touch, all of them pools of water turned dark and thickened as if filled with mud.

"Teams have been sent out to track them and notify of their locations to keep everyone safe, including the occasional travelers. Since the attack and the flooding, we have taken in our share of refugees and they have proven to be of good standing and character. They now set out and use the Domain as a hub for trade and share news of the outside world with us. It dries my scales to have to be so reliant, but it seems to have been within the goddesses' wills to do. We haven't been left without and for that, we are grateful. The circumstances are not ideal, but we are working with what we have."

Irina:snowflake: 4:40 PM "Absolutely," Irina replies. She looks at the floor in front of her, thinking for a few moments. Then she looks at a nearby pool of water, which flies to the center of the room as if it was wind instead of liquid. Then, something starts forming from the floor up... a statue of Queen Mipha made entirely of ice.

Irina looks back at Muzu with a small, warm smile. "My power, no matter how weak or strong, is at the service of the Domain. Even if it simply meant to improve morale and bring back hope." Maybe a small display of her power can help Muzu figure out if she is useful.

MuzuAPP 1:16 AM Muzu's sensitivity to the environment caught the chill in the air before the ice had materialized. When it took the form of Mipha, his typical hunched walk had shifted upright while musing over the statue briefly. "Feh," he waved a hand and resumed his walking. "We'll put it to better use than that, then," he huffed. It was a good rendering of the Queen's form, at least. "You may wish to speak with the refugees and merchants to see about using that ice. It works well for preservation and medical needs. There are other uses as well, I imagine, but those are the first that come to mind."

Irina:snowflake: 11:26 AM Irina can't help but smiling at Muzu's reaction to the statue. Yes, he knows his kind... she's worked for somebody similar for years, after all.

"Of course, sir," she replies as Muzu finds some use for her. However, in the distance, a figure the size of a Hylian swiftly jumps out of the water and approaches some Zoras unaware of its presence. It's a small Lizalfos, and it seems ready to attack.

Although relatively far, Irina is in front of it and close enough to do something about it. As the Lizalfos plans to attack, the water behind it moves quickly. Before it realizes, the water solidifies around its hands and becomes two heavy blocks of ice that fall loudly to the ground. The Lizalfos reacts by screaming and trying to bite at the ice in a somehow comical way, unable to move from its position.

Irina lets out a quiet sigh of relief while she watches it.

MuzuAPP 12:45 AM Muzu moves along and takes note of the Zora up ahead. They were out patrolling as was expected of them. However, seeking to strike out against them was a Lizalfos that had every intention of ruining their day. Thankfully, that ice magic was put to use in a way that was, well, useful! With the lizalfos held up, the Zora were able to turn around and get the upper hand on the beast. One took her longsword and with one great cleave, smashed the lizalfos into the ground, breaking the ice holding it as well as its body. It's safe to say the creature was thoroughly dead. Disappearing in a puff of smoke, the team resumed their patrol with more diligence.

"These foul things have been popping up all over the place and though we have had success in handling them, they still find ways to aggravate us in some form or fashion. Thankfully, this one was alone and foolhardy enough to attempt an attack. However, it was of the general variety. Had it been the others we have come across, they take more positioning and skill to handle," Muzu shook his head. "At the very least, you have demonstrated exactly what I'm looking for. Practicality in your abilities. We'll need more of that to assist with Domain defense efforts."

As they passed the team, the old Zora leered at them for their reaction time to the enemy. They couldn't possibly let another slip up like that happen again. "Mind yourselves more carefully next time," he scolded, scoring a chorus of salutes and validations from the squad.

Before long, they'd be at the entrance of the Domain and fall within its safety. All around were people walking around and if they weren't walking, they were sailing the waters. Any surrounding land typically had small pillars of smoke rising from them, indicating the presence of Hylians and their camps set up to live in.

Irina:snowflake: 12:02 AM Irina followed Muzu. She looked down for a moment as she had no intention to make anybody look bad, having reacted out of an impulse when she saw the creature. The Zora would have probably been able to take care of it, she thinks. Yes, more than likely.

There is a lot on the barmaid's mind when she walks through the Domain. Zora did not like having Hylian in it, and the only reason why she was here often was because she was in company of the royals. Still she got some disapproving looks, so to have actual Hylian camps here... this is a really unprecendented situation.

"I will be happy to help, sir. I owe much to the royal family and this place feels like my second home. I would also like to apologize for all the trouble I caused in the past."

MuzuAPP 1:26 AM "We Zora have surmised that it is within the very blood and nature of Hylians to cause trouble wherever they go. However, the goddesses see fit to allow it, so there is not much in the manner of complaints that we can have only to ask why. Why do they do this?" Muzu's one complaint. "But, that is not for us to determine. It is also well within their nature to be helpful, almost too helpful. They are also gifted in matters related to land. They have their usefulness, however irritating they may be, at times." Blunt honesty. A useful Zora trait.

"But where we are now is trying to figure out solutions. Spreading out beyond the domain with the gift of water that has fallen upon the land. We have already taken advantage and begun to adapt ourselves to it and taken to using the streams created by the shape of the land beneath the waves to travel great distances more quickly. Connecting Hyrule is important. The only place we do not readily go to is anywhere near Hyrule Castle. The whole of the area has maintained its curse and is nearly incapable of being entered. The malice still maintains, the waters are murky from its taint, creatures that are normally harmless have been twisted and warped by the presence of the evil that is there and there's still the matter of Princess Zelda. We haven't the slightest clue of her survival of the ordeal. It's all an absolute disaster."

He lifted a hand to one of his mouth lobes--serving as what could be considered a mustache among humans--and stroked it thoughtfully. "But there is still hope. We are aware that efforts have been mounted to see Hyrule connected in some form. The Hylians have already seen to that in their own way. We must unite the others that call the land their home so that we can manage. Whether we do that with or without Princess Zelda is an option we'll have to take with heavy mindfulness."

Irina:snowflake: 12:30 PM Irina heard the Zora's complaints and concerns. He certainly spoke a lot, but that's probably expected for somebody in a council. It's giving Irina a good idea of what is happening at the Domain, what their main problems are, and also getting to know Muzu better. This will help her understand how to work with him without pushing his buttons. Hopefully.

He classified her as a Hylian, which was fair. Although, unconciously, she felt different. From all the time she had spent at the Domain and all her experiences with the Zora royals, she felt more at home here than anywhere else in Hyrule. In a way, more of a Zora than a Hylian. But this was hard to understand, even for her.

"I agree, sir. We will hold onto that hope and unite Hyrule the best we can. Hopefully princess Zelda will be found safe in the meantime."

"How can I help?" she asks simply. Muzu now has a better idea of what she can do.

MuzuAPP 4:00 AM "How should you start? I suppose you're good for running errands of some form. Well, see that word reaches any available ears willing to listen. We of the Domain have a...problem. A number of vile creatures have plagued the area and became wise to our inherent weakness against the element of lightning. Due to this, they have an advantage where we do not. Anyone who wishes to brave their ranks and rid us of these vermin will be handsomely rewarded."

Muzu turned to face Irina, hands clasped behind his back. "Can you do this? In the meantime, I suppose you could also clear the monsters out, but given your usage of water, I imagine you carry similar issues."

Irina:snowflake: 5:29 PM Irina nods to Muzu, listening to his explanation and requests with a serious -although warm, as usual- expression. About being weak to lightning, she replies, "No more than any other Hylian, sir." Her usage of magic water makes her susceptible to other things, but it's never good to mention weaknesses when there could be monsters around.

"I can take on the task, if you let me know where to go. But I do not seek any reward other than knowing the Domain is safe from those creatures."

MuzuAPP 10:40 PM 'Muzu No more than any other Hylian,..." Muzu grunts. "Hmph! We've not much else to discuss. You have everywhere with exception to the Domain itself that requires protection, but I suppose since our gates are so...comfortably open to the outside, you only have need to fight off the monsters of the path. You have no business attempting to take on anything else except that which I have expressly told you about!" He wagged a finger at her.

"If we are to receive help, then the messenger must live to speak about it unless someone is unfortunate enough to run across your corpse," he rubs thoughtfully at his lobe. "Feh. Go on, then," he shoes her off to go and take care of business. "Make haste and do not grow careless."

Irina:snowflake: 10:13 AM With a nod and a small, warm smile, Irina seems happy that Muzu had accepted her offer for help, regardless of how he worded his answer. "Understood. Please excuse me," she bowed to those in the room before turning to jump in the water and head for the entrance.

Once she gets to the edge of the domain, or where Zora river used to meet Hyrule Field, she climbs up to a ledge and looks around. If any monsters try to get in, this would be the only way, she thinks. So she pulls out her spear and waits, watching the activity both below and above water.

A few days pass, with no incidents worth mentioning while Irina fullfills her duty. The handful of monsters that try to get into the domain are not hard to fight off.

Irina is sitting on the ledge when she sees something in the distance and stands up, holding her spear. She narrows her eyes in confusion, raising a brow and smiling in surprise afterwards. Is that the Wolfos approaching?

SpoofAPP 8:49 PM While the Wolfos moves near the Zora's shore, a shadow of such size to dwarf the building approaches with surprising speed from the open waters. As it closes the distance it grows ever larger, darker... Revealing that whatever it is, it is not just big; it is deep.

There isn't much time before it arrives but there is some... Prepare.

ZeldaAPP 3:29 AM "I can't very well leave. Not yet," Zelda sets her belongings down and runs through the contents of her bag. She produces a bow from within and grasps it firmly. A few plucks of the string check its integrity. The quiver within is lifted and slipped around her shoulders next. Approaching the inn carefully, she took precautions not to stray too close to the water. Warning was given to the minions in service to Vaati to brace themselves. Workers were encouraged to close the sails and assist in evacuating the building

Vaati Picoru 10:46 AM The Wind Sorcerer also feels this disturbance. Reaching out with his magic, he tries to determine the source. “Wizrobes take to the air, our enemy is bellow us. Darknuts and Iron knuckles, hold the shorelines, defend the higher ground and citizens.” Not nearly all of Vaati’s forces are here, as most are tending to the palace and the generation of supplies below, but there should be enough to at least hold whatever it is at bay.

Gatu 11:47 AM Gatu sees everyone getting ready and realizes he doesn't have a shield. He walks over to Princess Zelda and ask her if they're any spare shields.

"Princess Zelda, do you have any spare shields you're willing to let me use? I only have my sword here." Gatu asked. He was ill prepared somewhat, but confident in his swordsmanship.

SpoofAPP 12:46 PM The waters heave ponderously as the titanic shadow finally reveals its shape.

The tumbling waters throw up obscuring mists and waterfall roars, hiding the interloper from those on the ground; an unfortunate situation for a few Darknut that could not see the giant sword swing that pierced into the shore.

As the mists and thrown up dirt die down, all can now see it:

A black Dinolfos, at least 10 stories high, maybe more as its hips are still obscured in the water.

It looks some what more menacing than the usual Dinolfos but its armor and sword are beyond shabby in comparison to its compatriots, armor held by a ship's worth of rope. The quality suggests it was cobbled together to fit it.

It opens its' mouth and gives a traditional, if not deeper, Lizalfos honk, which is answered by twenty normal Lizalfos springing out of the water below.

Vaati Picoru 1:21 PM “Heh, not even a boss monster. Though I’m not a big fan of the lizards, no use for me to attempt control. Wizrobes, pelt the lizals with your magic, I will take the big one.” Vaati blasts into the air and transforms suddenly, attempting to pin the Dinolfos under his claws.

Gatu 1:54 PM Gatu instinctively reaches back and grasps his sword's handle as the flood water ripple and suddenly blast upwards, making much watery mist and the sound of a waterfall as it seems something had come up from under the water. He sees before him one massive bipedal lizard person in crude made armor help by a ton of rope with a crude sword, as well as 20 regular sized ones coming out of the water.

Gatu gets in a fighting stance and draws his sword out of its scabbard, ready to fight.

NoabAPP 2:50 PM "BATTLE STATIONS!!!" Noab barks. The crew staff of the Crimson Wolfos scurry to secure the vessel building in the shallows and arm themselves. Good thing they've reached the shore, even Noab doesn't know much about naval combat. Noab himself, however, remains aboard inside the inn, for two reasons. One is, he's responsible for this enterprise, as chaotic as its fortunes have become, and he's not going to let a bunch of scaly interlopers tear it up. >:P The other is, a heavy creature with a gimpy leg like himself would have a really tough time wading ashore in a combat situation. =.U; Noab stands on the front porch of the inn with his claymore, shouting to those headed ashore. "Check your targets! Only the lizards are charlies, all others are friendlies!" Noab looks up at the giant fuzzy bat ball attacking the dinalfos. "Including that thing! ...I think." c.U (edited)

SpoofAPP 3:05 PM Vaati's mass of batwings and darkness connects with the gigantic Dinolfos's shoulder, stopping its encroachment on to land.

The terrible lizard turns its head to take a snap at the sorcerer but ultimately ignores his pincers to turn its minions that are gamely dodging the Wizzrobes but are about to be hedged in by the land forces.

It honks again before belching a fireball at the magicians. As though answering the call, the Lizalfos begin to use each other as launchpads, springing up high into the air to combat the mages that escape the flames, and dodging those melee fighters that might be close enough.

Once done firing off at the Wizzrobe squadron, Dinolfos turns back to biting at Vaati.

The springboard Lizalfos engage the ground forces while jumping to keep their partners airborne.

Jump by jump, they attempt to advance onto land ad into the Domain's entry.

Each move is highly unusual for the Lizard monsters.

A leaping pair lands near Zelda and Gatu. They honk aggressively and bare their weapons before bouncing their partners off their shield and into the air again.

Gatu 3:37 PM Gatu refuses to let these lizard men cause trouble for the residents of Zora's Domain. With a "HYAH!", he swings his sword and fires a circular disk of energy, a Sword Beam, into one of the Lizalfos up in the air. Getting hit by it would damage it and knock it out of the air to fall back onto land to take further damage.

"You shall not pass!" Gatu stated to the bipedal lizards. He refuses them to enter Zora's Domain and attack its inhabitants. (edited)

SpoofAPP 11:16 PM The paired reptiles bounce away from the arcing energy, honking in amusement as they land, 3 of the four Lizalfos charge at the sword wielder.

Vaati Picoru 12:04 AM “Ha, a feisty one for a creature of your caliber. Unfortunately, your foe is the Sorcerer of Winds!” Gale-force winds begin to swirl around the two lifting them into the air. Vaati fends off the more annoying than anything biting by firing eye lasers. Cause why not? (edited)

Gatu 12:54 AM Gatu holds his ground and focuses. Right when the Lizardfolk on his right try to slash at him, he does a 180 degree roll to the right around the Lizardfolk and counters their attack at him by thrusting his sword into their back, taking one out

Unfortunately, Gatu wasn't quite fast enough, as the second lizardfolk stabs him in his right shoulder while they were still on one knee from the 180 circle roll. He grunts taking the pain and swings his sword in an arch from left to right, slicing the lizardfolk's head off. (edited)

ZeldaAPP 5:29 AM Zelda had an arrow nocked, carefully observing the events at the shore and the wave of lizalfos that were exiting the waters as the command of their larger leader. "Your presence here will be eliminated," she watched the leaping lizards, focusing her attention on the one in the air. She takes careful aim with her bow and launches an arrow to snipe the creature out of the air. "And to answer your question, I do not have any spare shields," is added to Gatu.

Knowing that one remained on the ground, she kept an eye on it, creating some distance between her and it. Gatu's condition didn't go unnoticed by her, but there were few options to work with. "You should retreat back and let the others cover for you. If you continue fighting with your shoulder in that way, it will not heal properly and may inhibit your ability later."

Gatu 2:25 PM Gatu took Zelda's advice into account, but there wasn't really anytime to debate right now. They needed to take down the remaining Lizardfolk so they don't enter into Zora's Domain and harm anyone, since Hyrule is already in a poor enough state.

He didn't know if he was seeing illusions, but a Heart Meter of sorts came into view. It showed 7 Hearts in total with 2 out of 7 blacked out. He takes the sword stabbed into him by the dead lizard creature and rips it out cleanly, taking half a heart of damage from the action, and leaving him at 5 2/4ths of Hearts.

Tearing some of his right arm's sleeve off, he does basic first aid and bandage wraps his injury to stop the bleeding. Luckily it wasn't THAT bad, since it didn't pierce through him; but it did help as the bleeding slowed to a stop.

"I'm fine Princess. Let's focus on stopping the remaining lizard creatures here. They must not get into Zora's Domain to cause havoc." Gatu replied. (edited)

SpoofAPP 10:32 PM Writhing airborne to keep its' own grip on the Wind Sorcerer, the Dinolfos tanks the lazers with aplomb but it is clear that the beams have done damage. Scales have been shorn away but no blood is visible yet. The monster gives up the mouthy attacks and switches to other means; it whips its tail straight towards Vaati's wide eye. The enormous sword is fending off the pincers. While performing this strike, it screeches.

The call is answered by a fresh swarm of Lizalfos, a score more than the previous 20, honking as they charge the faux army.

The new swordsman cuts down 3 monsters and the Princess takes care of the last, but a new squadron takes their place, these taking a speedier approach, leaping and running on the mountain wall in erratic patterns.

A squad of the second wave head straight away to the SS Crimson Wolfos, after a particularly clever lizard noticed the reinforcements coming from there.

They catapult a couple warriors onto the deck patio to engage with the staff. The rest skirmish with Zora reinforcement.

Irina:snowflake: 5:58 PM Things had been pretty boring for Irina for the past few days. She had to fight off a few monsters here and there, but nothing more than the occasional lizalfos trying to get into the Domain for food.

Before she can even realize, a shadow forms in the water, which makes her hold her spear with both hands in a fighting position. Then, the monster emerges, the Wolfos arrives, a winged eyeball appears, and everybody starts fighting.

There is a lot of confusion, but one thing is clear: the monster and its companions are coming from the water, and that’s her expertise. Even more, they are the only ones in the water, except for the Wolfos – which is far enough.

From a ledge above the river, Irina holds her spear while focusing on the water, staring at the area where the monster is standing. Within a couple of seconds, that entire area should become a thick block of ice. If any small lizalfos were in there before attempting to come out, well… they are probably a bit cold and stiff now.

NoabAPP 8:31 PM Noab turns toward one of the lizalfos that just sprang up. That of course means the other one is behind him, but when you're a creature whose back is covered with scales of gritty minerals, that's not as big a worry as it is for most. Noab blocks the assault of the first lizalfos with his sword and angles his body to catch the other's blade on the toughest part of his hide. He then takes a swing at the one in front of him, but it springs backward to avoid the blow. While the one behind Noab is preparing to attack again, a spear sticks out of the nearest window and manages an awkward, grazing stab on the lizard's flank.

Gatu 10:10 PM Gatu chops down with his sword one lizalfos, then dodges another two. He sweep kicks two and kills down with a downward jabbing stab with the other grazes his side with their sword, in which they chop their arm off and kill them with a downward stab their the chest.

Gatu's shoulder injury was a bit irritating, considering he wasn't fast enough to prevent that. He stays strong and takes down a lizalfos that had a rickety-made shield. Better than nothing... He takes and equips the shield on his right arm with his sword in his left arm as he starts taking these lizard scaled bastards down more efficiently, blocking and parrying and taking his opportunities to slash to cut down his foes before him. He takes a bit of damage here and there from some cuts they were able to make on him, putting him at 4 hearts now. (edited)

ZeldaAPP 12:47 AM Zelda secures her bow to her back and retrieves her rapier, holding it out before her, ready to take on the lizalfos that have drawn closer. With their numbers, close quarters was guaranteed and she needed to be prepared for them. Those that did slip through found her running forward to engage. She knew of their tendency for leaping and used that to her advantage to duck beneath them and bring her sword up in a wide arc to lash at the tail. It wouldn't put the creature down, but it would serve as a warning.

Thinking her easier prey alone, they turned around and swarmed her, each seeking to land a strike on her, however her empty hand was not simply for show. Whipping it upward, she summoned up a veil around her , bringing their frenzied strikes to a halt. When it fell, she took advantage of the confusion to lunge toward a lizalfos and drive her sword into it.

When the air cooled slightly, her attention cut to the wall of ice that was just lifted. "Wizzrobes?" She wondered, hoping that wasn't the case, but it seemed far too convenient and out of place for the opposing forces. "Ah, the Zora are here," she smiled. Though the question remains who is responsible for that ice? Her mind can't place it in the heat of the battle.

"They will not be finding themselves within Zora's Domain on this day or any other," is shouted out as a rallying cry, despite being in response to Gatu.

Gatu 2:06 AM Gatu does some side hops and back flips to dodge as he blocks with the rigidity Lizalfos shield he's using. It is barely holding together, but still doing it's job none the less.

Gatu limbo leans backwards with his body horizontal to the ground, having given him a very up-close-and-personal haircut as a few pink hairs sprinkled to the ground as he barely dodged an axe swing to his neck.

Taking the chance to counterattack, Gatu parry attacks the Lizalfos in front of him by leaping up in the air: doing a front flip. As he passes the Lizalfos overhead, he swings his sword, cleaving the head of the scaly creature off and landing back on his feet. He huffs a bit with mild exhaustion, but must stay strong or else these scaly bastards will advance and bring harm to the people and residents of Zora's Domain. Since he did basic first air on his sword stab injury with the tearing off half of his right sleeve, he was able to congeal and stop any further bleeding so he wouldn't bleed out to death. (edited)

Vaati Picoru 9:21 PM While the eye is indeed Vaati’s weak point, unfortunately for the dinolfos, nothing short of the Four Sword or a light arrow would do any damage. As he rises high enough into the air, the tempest wraps around the two and Vaati forces the air outward. “Take a deep breath.” He jokes to the stupid creature.

SpoofAPP 9:48 PM The Lizalfos swarm has lost no small amount but they rally over the ice, using the extra foothold to split the defenders and focus more of their forces on those who appear to be handling more than their share of the forces.

A shift changes in the remaining Lizalfos.

Those monsters not in immediate combat shiver and shake off their skin, revealing a new snarling face, all of them of green Dinolfos. Those in combat split out of their skins while they swing tail and blades. Faster, stronger and now spitting fires, the second wave rush in. For the average soldiers and Crimson Wolfos staff, a single Dinolfos is a strenuous fight, but more is needed for those skillful few.

A trio of heavy hitters and fire breathers fleetly surround the stronger warriors.

_For the Princess and her vanguard a full set of five come. One hangs back to spit fire balls at them. One charges forth and smashes against the flimsy shield on Gatu's arm. The shield splits apart and the Dinolfos rasps a victorious snarl and rams itself against Gatu again._

SpoofAPP 9:59 PM Vaati drops the black titan from the sky with a quip, and it smashed against the solid block of sea water. The block breaks apart on the impact. The giant reptile sinks below the waters alongside the broken ice as the ocean rushes in.

Gatu 11:03 PM Gatu watches these lizard creatures shed their skin and start breathing fireballs. Now it just got more difficult battling these bastards... He blocks a few fireballs while he parries with his sword before a Lizalfos charges and rams into Gatu. Luckily, it didn't give him any damage, but the shield he was using broke and splintered in pieces and flimsy rope.

Gatu gets up after tumbling back from the ramming he took and starts getting surrounded by Lizalfos. They must've felt he was easy prey now, but he was not going to give up and not surrender to these monstrosities. The Triforce Mark on his hand glows faintly as he felt something suddenly push into his mind, feeling like something or someone threw a book at the back of his head. Following this feeling, as if it guiding him, he gets in a slight crotch and extends his sword grasping arm out for a few moments... The sword's blade began to glow blue with ripples and swirls of energy before changing to a soft red orange.

It was then that Gatu does not just a normal Spin Attack, but the Super Spin Attack for the first time. He releases the welled-up power as it shredded all the Lizalfos surrounding him into shredded scales & guts... leaving a perfect burned circle around him on the ground and a crap ton of loot.

Unfortunately, this was the first time he used Magic. Below his Hearts Meter, a horizontal green bar shows up and drains to barely anything in it from right to left. And due to him not being used to doing Magic at all taxed him as he panted from the toll it just taxed him stamina-wise.

Gatu, having fallen to one knee from the taxing move he just did, grunts as he pushes his body to get back up on both feet. His raises his sword and picks up one of the fallen Lizalfos's shields, looking more sturdy than the trash shield he had and resumes blocking and counter-striking. He'll think twice before doing that move again. (edited)

NoabAPP 6:08 PM ...Well that's a weird development. o.U; Must be some magic involved, lizalfos don't ordinarily go all rare-candy-boost and change form in the middle of battle, do they? Not sure they're even the same species as dinalfos.

Noab's no expert on either magic or herpatology, but he does know a thing or two about fighting these creatures. He curls into a ball to deflect their weapons, leaving only a small part of his (relatively) soft flesh exposed down near the bottom. The dinalfos on the porch take the bait, closing in and crouching down to try and get their claws at that portion. By some unexplained trick of physics Gorons seem to be privvy to, Noab bounces ponderously into the air, then comes down hard. Both dinalfos' skulls are crushed under the boulder-like bulk.

Noab uncurls and examines the flooring briefly. "One more thing that's gonna need repairs," he mutters. e.U

ZeldaAPP 12:53 PM Zelda had never seen lizalfos do this before. It's written all over her face, her expression twisted into every part confusion, distress and some fascination. Was this magic related or a new development among their kind?

Regardless, the few moments her mind took to run through that were over and she was now on the defensive. Not a good position to be in. She raises up a full body shield, a faint blue glow surrounding her so that she may endure the fire balls spat at her.

"This is not going well. We must be more organized," she muttered to herself.

"Raise walls of ice around the Wolfos!" She began to take command of the field. "Gather near to it! We are spread too thin and we must all fight as a unified force!"

She then zones the area, using her sword to thrust at dinolfos to provoke moving away form her to clear a path. She had no intentions of directly fighting ad she needed to conserve her energy for the appointed task.

Gatu 1:49 PM Hearing Zelda's orders to fall back and gather near the walls of ice around the Wolfos (in which Gatu figured it was the Wolf-like creatures over there), Gatu complies as he takes down 3 Lizalfos on his way over to fall back and gather near to it to fight as a unified force.

SpoofAPP 7:18 PM While those that can, do fall back as the rallying cry goes up, other skirmishes continue on the frosty battlefield.

The change in forces have skewed smaller duels to the favor of the Lizalfos-now-Dinolfos. Vaati's Monstrous Brigade has been whittled down to only the Darknuts, as the bouncing actually did its job on the Wizzrobes. They coincidentally cover the retreat, though damage builds up.

Zelda's strikes and feints successfully allows Gatu and the Royal to retreat as the beasts aren't eager to be skewered on her flashing rapier, or slashed by the broad swing of his longsword.

Meanwhile... Under airborne Vaati, the still roiling waters begin to seethe anew, the chunks of ice crumble more into the deep.

Freed from the frost, the full force of the Lizalfos army scrabbles to land, seemingly desperate to escape the sea. The mass of green reptiles is at least a hundred bodies deep.

Some struggle to escape the waters and appear to succumb to some invisible threat, one that causes a few of the rare salt water fish to float belly up alongside them.

The enormous Dinolfos resurfaces with a vengeance; blasting a bright pillar of flame straight at Vaati on breaching.

The line of it's spikes is glowing red hot, with a break in the spot where it connected with Irina's iceberg. The chest plate is lost and a discolored scale less scar is visible. It almost matches the new damage on its spine.

The swarm approaches the gates.

Gatu 11:25 PM As Gatu retreats back to the Ice Wall near Zelda, he was cut off by a Wolfos. Gatu is forced to stop and face down the anthropomorphic wolf-like creature with green eyes before him if he were to make it back to Zelda.

Gatu parries, blocks, and counterattacks the creature as it attacks him with its biting and claw slashes. He keeps his shield raced and keeps targeted as it rubs circles around him. Seeing an opening, Gatu leaps up into the air in a small front front flip, dodging a claw sweeping attack. He finished the Wolfos by landing on it, while at the same time plunging his sword downward through it, killing it.

Quickly ripping his sword out of the furry beast, he makes his way up to Zelda and sees the strange behavior of the Lizalfos, struggling to escape the floodwaters and appear to succumb to some invisible threat that lurks below the crashing waves... He more surprised that the giant Lizalfos Vaati was fighting shows its face from the waves of the floodwater, somehow still alive and pissed-as-fuck.

Gatu focuses and raises his shield back up, ready for the oncoming swarm. (edited)

Vaati Picoru 8:41 AM “Back for more? Maybe You are boss monster material, but alas, I still don’t like the lizards. Everyone take a very deep breath! And get out of the water!” Vaati casts his most deadly spell, depriving the local atmosphere of breathable oxygen. He focuses most of it in bubbles around his allies’ heads, just in case, but all his foes will be unable to breathe. Of course, as lizardfolk, they will be able to get oxygen from the water, but that is exactly what Vaati wants, to unleash a massive surge of lightning upon the local water bodies.

Irina:snowflake: 10:25 AM Irina had raised the ice walls around the Wolfos. This was no easy task; transforming such a large amount of water into ice had drained quite a bit of her magic. She's panting, trying to protect her friends with the magic she has left by freezing whatever part of the enemy she can. For the weaker ones, it's their entire body. That will last for a while. For the stronger ones, it's maybe an arm or a leg, which they will be able to break after a few seconds. But hopefully that gives her friends some advantage.

From her current position, she's covered with water up to her knees. Vaati's orders make her jump off her ledge and on to another not-so-stable one -- but at least she's out of the water. Holding onto whatever wall she can, she takes a deep breath... (edited)

Gatu 2:21 PM Following Vaati's instructions, Gatu takes a deep breath and holds it.

NoabAPP 11:29 PM Noab pushes the dinalfos carcasses to the edge of the Crimson Wolfos's porch, using them as impromptu barricades to make getting a foothold harder for any other enemies. Gruesome, to be sure, but that's what battle is like. >|

...No wait, that can't happen because Zelda monsters go poof when they die. e.Ua And besides, with the good guys gathering around the Wolfos it's much more likely they'll want to get up on the building. Especially with Vaati telling people to get out of the water.

Anyway, Noab isn't in a position to contribute much to the combat directly at this precise moment, but he can provide tactical insight. Even his single old eye can spot the scar on the giant dinalfos. "Enemy weak point exposed on the chest!" Noab barks. "We need a heavy-duty ranged or aerial strike!"

Shura:crab: 7:37 PM at this point the seemingly absent shura whom was actuly off somewhat in the distance dragging heavy logs on a makeshift sled to make some improvements to the wolfos to be more of a ship then it was hearing the battle in the distance made him move the logs faster behind him he counted at least ten long logs basicly a whole tree in length each one dragging it back to the edge of the small cliffside showing off the wolfos he saw the battle raging on everyone attacking what seemed to be a giant lizzard on its hind legs with a massive scar on its chest seemed like a welcomed target a smirk apearing on his face.

shura then thought of how was he going to get the distance of where he was to where they were . then it came to him it was somewhat risky..... ok alot of risky that's when he decided. shuras hands went to each end of his robes the seals sewn into the cloth shown his body once again bulking up as he let out a long sigh of air looking back down at the pile of logs and hoisting one onto his sholder.

shura took a few moments to gauge how he was going to do this as it was more downwards then far that there fight was from him. shura now took aim hoisting the log agesnt his arm his right hand under the bottom of the log letting out a loud roar of rage somewhat akin to a battle cry him letting loose the log hearling it at the giant dinolfos jumping on the log and landing on it mid air before it conected with the beast rideing it on his way there and down into the fray !

SpoofAPP 10:27 PM The raging terrible lizard and its ilk are left suddenly wanting for quarry as all intelligent beings on the field retreat upon Vaati's command. The battlefield full of triumphant honks and clashing of weapons on crude armor.

Whooping and noise making is cut short with the crack of thunder, and then the air is no longer in place, leaving many smaller, weaker beasts struggling for breath. As bodies fall still, a strike of blinding, bright blue lightning hits the water.

If one could see through this sizzling light, they'd see the corpse dance of the unaware monsters. They blacken and flake apart as they jitter and jerk crazily.

The gigantic figure of the black Dinolfos is not immune to the death dance.

As the lightning subsides, the dying continues. Many bodies drift away with the passing wind...

But not all. And not the titanic body of the Dinolfos.

The swaying, crumbling, burnt form of the master monster is given no reprieve as a freshly logged tree smashes and splinters to twigs and toothpicks against its head crushing the remains of the skull.

_The chunks of sooty scales and meat fall alongside Shura as he arrives, slamming into the other bodies and slapping heavily into the water._

As Shura lands amongst the fallen pieces, the remains slough off the still standing figures, leaving thinner shapes that stagger forward.

The apparently surviving monsters have been reduced, for sure, relegated back into Lizalfos-dom, but they have also been clearly changed.

_Yellowed, hunched and knobbly. Intelligence clearly is lacking in their spacy and independent eyes, only malevolence is left clear. They scrabble wildly, many lunge at Shura_; newly developed horns glittering with newly acquired electricity.

The former black Dinolfos sheds most of its old fried skin, with only a bit still clinging to the revealed weaknesses. It, too, has been demoted to lizardly status, however it is still enormous and enraged.

It throws its head back in a shrieking roar and electricity races up its new spines and horns, unleashing random bolts everywhere; one strikes the mountainside, dropping rocks towards Irina and the others, another towards Shura, several seem attracted to Vaati. A stray bolt is drawn to the buoyant bed and breakfast.

Some Lizalfos dove into the waves and disappear and a few follow the strike to the Inn, hungrily swimming towards the Goron.

Gatu 1:48 AM Gatu raises his shield and charges, going over to Shura to assist them after the lightning bolts crackle and blast around. He chops down and kills 4 Lizalfos and makes his way up to Shura and starts defending them to give them time and an opening to back out.

Vaati Picoru 5:18 PM The aftermath of electrical storm is not quite as effective as Vaati had foreseen. These lizards seem to adapt at a rapid rate, though he had weakened the ones that didn’t get fried. “Never have I seen such a resilient foe since Ganon and the Hero, even the Helmaroc King would be dead by now. So, mighty lizard, you’ve earned one right, state your title before you perish, that you may be useful to me later.” The lighting directed back at the sorcerer has no effect, you don’t use storm magic against a storm mage, then Vaati does another form change to a humanoid figure the giant lizard’s size and draws his rapier, also enhanced to be larger.

ZeldaAPP 1:02 PM Zelda was enduring her own struggles with assessing the battlefield. Something about these lizards was amiss. Their changes and abilities were not typical. "I wonder..." she mused to herself while maintaining close position to the Wolfos. She was going to need some clearance for what she intended to do.

Her rapier is placed away and she outfits herself with her bow. Using her magic reserves carefully, she boosts herself up onto the roof of the Wolfos and surveys the area post the lightning strike. The main creature hasn't fallen yet. "Your forms have been twisted from Farore's design." She draws an arrow imbues it with light, using the shaft to line up her shot against the leading beast. When she finds it, she waits for its chest to be exposed and with what little time she has, fires off a flash of light from her bow.

"It is clear to me that you must be cleansed."

NoabAPP 10:16 PM That herpatology stuff is looking more and more like a worthwhile field of study. O.U; Noab hits the deck as lightning starts flashing out everywhere. As for the bolt that heads for the Crimson Wolfos, well, nobody on board can do much about that even if they had the time to react. 8/ Lightning do what lightning do, which involves a hole being blown in the roof and a bit of a fire starting up. BUT, what with Vaati having pulled all the oxygen in the area to people's heads, the fire chokes out pretty quick. Whew!

Gatu 11:50 PM Gatu continues to slay the mutant Lizalfos and some regular Wolfos, getting a bit tired. He continues to dodge and parrying with either his sword or shield efficiently, keeping his hearts at 3, determined not to take anymore damage in risk of getting KOed.

SpoofAPP 11:56 PM The massive Lizalfos does not reply to the now gigantic Vaati's words with nothing more than a roll of its bulging chameleon eyes, each taking stock of their own hemispheres.

The two spinning eyes snap on to the swordsman somehow getting through the electrical monsters without being hit by their discharges. A dangerous outlier that is inhibiting their takeover.

It lunges towards Vaati, foregoing the zapping and instead swinging its ragged blade towards the great eye, faster than its size should have been capable of. Using the momentum to jump partially out of the water, and fire its cannon-like tongue at Gatu as he attacks the other monsters; slamming into the traveler's back.

The impact is on par with a horse hitting him full on. And then the same horse yanking him 10 stories up by the spine at top speed_. It would be a struggle to keep a grip on both pieces of equipment._

While it makes these attacks, the Princess Sage shoots an arrow that flies true and bright. The bolt impacts the raw wound and the big beast jerks erratically with pain, shrieking and discharging lightning in wild arcs.

Gatu 12:12 AM "GAH!" Gatu could be heard, getting hit square in his back as feeling the wind get punch out of him pratically. He was knocked down to 2 and a half hearts now. It didn't help as the massive Lizalfos yanks him 10 stories up by his back where the end of the tongue attached to him flings him up at top speed. He struggles to hold onto his sword and shield as he gets flung about.

Getting tired of it rather quickly, Gatu does something bold. He takes his sword and cuts the massive Lizalfos's tongue off of him, making the massive creature gurgle and taste it's own blood. Due to it, he goes flying and crash lands tumbling a few yards. He was now at 1 heart: looking battered and bruised. A few feet in front of him, his sword was tip first into the ground. He grunts and gets up, staggering a bit with a bloody nose and some blood coming out of one of his ears.

Making it up to his sword, Gatu yanks it out of the ground and then kick flips the make-shift shield as he catches it and puts it back on. Clenching his hand tightly around the handle of his sword, the Mark of the Triforce on his hand glows with a slightly yellow light. He raises his sword arm with sword in hand, showing he will fight to the very end if it comes to it. He watches as Zelda shoots the damned giant lizard with an arrow made of light, impacting the raw wound of the big beast as it started jerking erratically with pain, shrieking and discharging lightning in wild arcs. Gatu jumps out of the way as he almost got struck by some of them. (edited)

Shura:crab: 10:58 AM shura held his own but with gatu aproching he had said it felt nice being in the thick of things with someone at his back again was a good feeling the lizards aproching he felt nothing but distain these beasts horns cought shuras eyes almost instantly he saw discharges of energy electrical comeing from the horns.

the lizards however lunging at him were more inportant then the horns on there heads his hand swiftly grasping his masumane handle once more the consiqwnces dident seem to bother him anymore as the long blade unsheathed and made a violent slash in front of him aiming for the chargeing beasts in front of him and all around the sparks shot off the giant lizard struck near shura three times at the very least as he was more focused on the hoard of smaller ones.

NoabAPP 10:24 PM Oh yeah, there was mention of more lizalfos swimming to the inn a couple poses ago. e.U; Noab gets up after the big lightning strike to find more lizards jumping onto the porch, and this time their horns are buzzing balefully. One of them crouches and produces a pulse of electrical energy, making Noab's muscles spasm and his sword clatter to the deck. X.U Hoo boy, this ain't gonna be fun. One of the others makes an eager leap to jab a spear at Noab while he's down, but Noab manages to turn his rocky back to the blade and shove his body backward, tackling the creature in reverse. That buys him a reprieve from the immediate danger, but it doesn't hurt the lizalfos that much, and doubtless another one will be zapping soon...

ZeldaAPP 1:13 PM The lightning that arcs from its body was expected, but perhaps not at the level that it was happening. Zelda had seen similar results from its smaller kin, but the sheer size of this one had her consider how to best approach them for the future, should they ever run into any like this again. It must be a variant tainted by malice to have become this big and change in the manner it did.

"Its body is exposed!" She called out, gesturing with an extended arrow towards the wound. "This is the time to strike! Those that are closest, take up arms and fell the beast!! All others, fall back and maintain a defensive line!" She readied the arrow, imbuing it with light once again to let loose should the lizalfos recover from its stun.

Gatu 2:22 AM Hearing Zelda's call after he gets up, he slowly starts running in which it leads to a jog and then sprinting. He doesn't know how he does it since he felt like something else was controlling him and his movement, but he slays great handfuls of lizalfos and wolfos in his path: showing the fighters and zelda that he was practically on a mission that he was going to see through and survive one way or another.

Seeing Zelda prepare to shoot another Light Arrow gave him a risky and daring idea. With an unknown force in Gatu's wake, he jumps in the air forwards. With vigorous determination, he stabs and plunges his sword into the Giant Lizalfos's exposed chest & weak spot with the Light Arrow at the same time: causing a chain reaction due to his sword acting like a lightning rod of-sorts that caused the Light Arrow to quadruple it's damage output.

But due to Gatu being practically in the heart of the blast, he took the damage as well. Due to the chain-reaction, he gets blasts off the Lizalfos and hits the ground hard: leaving a skidding crater in his wake. Burnt smoldering holes could be seen in his tunic, as well as blood coming out of his nose and ears... The shield he was using was incinerated by the attack, and his sword's scabbard missing. There's the very slim chance he survived something as devastating as that... (edited)

Vaati Picoru 2:55 PM “Heh, I see, no real loyalty to the order of the darkness. Very well, I shall smite you down here and now!” A spiral of intense wind wraps around his rapier as he plunges it into the exposed flesh of the beast. After impaling it Vaati releases the sword, and using the magic he coated around the blade, shatters the metal into fragments and sends them flying through the creature’s insides. Filet O’ Dino.

SpoofAPP 4:03 PM An impossible leap and a reckless resolve brings Gatu's sword to its target though it lands the Hylian in a new world of hurt. His sword remains lodged in the enormous reptiles heart as the holy arrow smashes it further into the wound, blazing brightness taking hold of the squalling monster's chest.

Its writhing and sporadic lightning is brought to a brutal halt, as a sneering wind mage pierces its back with a magic imbued sword.

To put it politely; the chest of the titan implodes.

Slowly and silently the giant monster crumples wetly to the rocky shore, its head slides a little further away on a wave of blood stopping beside the fallen Gatu.

As meat steamily slides out of the open cavern where its upper body once was, the reality of its death is obvious.

This body is clearly going nowhere...

The black mist of felled monsters still surrounds Shura as several chameleon like Lizalfos see the expiration of their leader and rush past him to save themselves and more lunge towards the warrior, falling to his savage skills. Only a single, skillful Lizalfos remains, blade quivering but still fiercely slashing at Shura.

The fleeing beasts make their way to Inn in desperation, the fighting lighter here then anywhere (due to Noab's sword but they don't know that). 5 leap their way to the roof and huddle in shocked fright and 2 join the battered lizards on the deck/patio, panic sliding into the walls, stunning themselves.

The siege is broken when that meaty thump echoed over the battlefield, sending cowardly monsters into a panic leaving only the straggling weaklings and the brave behind as they flee. Zoran warriors rally by Irina's icy barrier, beginning a renewed clean up.

Zelda is supported by the moral boosted Zora guards, who drive back the disorganized Electric Lizalfos, keeping distance with their spears.

Vaati Picoru 5:29 PM Vaati resumes a standard size and joins the fray, now leisurely using his strong wind magic to snap any lizard necks he passes by.

Gatu 6:06 PM Gatu's sword, once the Giant Lizalfos's body and severed head collapsed, glows with a faint blue light. Gatu wasn't moving or responding, and luckily none of the monsters were going for him for some odd reason. (edited)

Shura:crab: 7:36 PM shura smiled as the other monsterus lizzards ran the one slashing at him however was not met with sutch a calm action as a smile as the wild slashes were all met with his blade as he was more focused on what seemed to be slashes of his own to counter the ones of the lizard he was toying with this beast the last one left after the fith countered flailed striked from the lizard there was a breif moment where shura disapered in front of the lizard and a single blink of an eye behind said lizard blade shown cleaveing the lizard in half but a second cut forming at its side makeing two even cuts down to its hip all the way through " there is honor in death be free beast"

NoabAPP 10:40 PM Ironically, the extra enemies scrabbling onto the deck of the Crimson Wolfos provide Noab with some much-needed breathing space. As they're just concerned with getting to safety and not attacking, they interfere with the electric lizalfos that had Noab busy, one of them bowling into a comrade that was getting ready to unleash another shock pulse and the other lucklessly getting between Noab and a thrown spear. x.x Noab throws himself into a roll and snatches up his sword in a reverse-grip, then stabs it fiercely and repeatedly into the pair of lizalfos that got entangled. >.U That leaves one unarmed one (the one that threw its spear) and one that's getting ready to attack again after being back-tackled.

SpoofAPP 1:17 AM A lone zora walks across the main walkway leading up to the central hall. He stops and looks out over the ledge at the activity below. His expression is blank despite the tension in the air.

Gatunos 'Gatu' Hobbs 1:32 AM The lone Zora would spot a figure laying still in a small crater next to the remains of what looks to be a Giant Lizalfos, which something glowing out of the corpse's chest...

Vaati Picoru 6:07 AM The remainder of the Lizards being easy pickings, Vaati approaches the princess. “Well that was certainly something. This is the first time the lizardfolk have been at all competent in all my years. In any case, who or what could have sent this force? I know the dark god moves, but this would be strange for him. It seems more Ganon’s work.

Gatunos 'Gatu' Hobbs 1:13 PM Gatu continued to lay motionless in his small crater a few feet away from the dead giant lizalfos.

ZeldaAPP 1:42 PM To put it lightly, the Princess was tired. With the Triforce back in her possession, she imagines she'd have been far more exhausted. Truthfully, its return was the first blow to her reserves, the teleportation second and now, the felling of these lizalfos with carefully applied magic and attacks.

She took a deep breath and lowered her bow cautiously until she was certain she wouldn't have to worry about using it any longer. "I am uncertain of who could have sent it. The beasts do respond to Ganon's influence, but it is not beyond them to have been affected by something else." She walks closer to the corpse of the great lizalfos, proceeding in Gatu's direction to check over his body. She'd scold him for his efforts, though successful, but reckless. She extends her hand to provide some healing for him. "This won't be much. You will require greater than what I can provide at this time, but it will stabilize you."

When she finished tending to his wounds, she moved over to the corpse, showing some reluctance in approaching it with all its insides now being outside. Despite this, she walked forward, her clothes and boot smeared with guts to reach into the chest cavity and retrieve the glowing object.

Gatunos 'Gatu' Hobbs 2:02 PM As Zelda attempts to heal Gatu, the Triforce Mark on his hand responds to the Triforce of Wisdom, glowing with a yellow light. But even healed, Gatu did not stir, nor was he showing any signs of breathing. He couldn't be dead, or else he'd look pale and feel cold, yet he looked still full of color, felt cold, and was fully healed of all his injuries.

Apon taking the glowing object out of the Giant Lizalfos's chest reveals to be Gatu's sword: the blade glowing with divine light. There was only one other time she ever saw this glow before... for it was on that raining lightning stormed day at Hyrule Castle, where Zelda and Link battled a transformed Ganondorf surrounded by the ruins of the collapsed Hyrule Castle that was under Ganondorf's control... Zelda remembers stunning Ganon with her magic, and Link using the Master Sword to deliver some slashes before thrusting the sword into Ganondorf's face and skull... But before he did that, the Master Sword's blade glowed with a very similar light for only a few moments before the glow faded... in which Gatu's sword did the same as Zelda 'took a trip down memory lane' if she were to recognize the glow from Gatu's sword.

SpoofAPP 5:42 PM The expressionless zora walks over to the motionless creature, paying no heed to the dead lizard and kneels before him. The zora takes the man's glowing hand, watching it glow in his own and illuminate his pale blue body and the water that surrouns them.

Gatunos 'Gatu' Hobbs 6:00 PM The Triforce Mark on Gatu's hand fades back to normal after a few moments with the Zora still holding the unconscious Gatu's hand. Even still, Gatu was unresponsive... He wasn't dead, that much is sure...

ZeldaAPP 7:26 PM Zelda held the sword in her hand and looked it over. She knew it wasn't the Master Sword. That much, she could see. Though it was something that was of some magical make, withstanding the properties of her light arrows. "Using the sword as a conduit for the attack. I see..." She continued to look it over before holding it to her side. "Our work here is finished!" She called out. "The battle is won! Any remaining enemies have either fled or are too fearful to lift their weapons. I advise all who participated to rest! Worry not for what remains here. They finally see the value of their lives and how quickly the blade passes for each and every one of them!"

She gestures with her free hand towards the Wolfos. "We will all gather into camp around the inn. This will ensure its protection while we rest before we proceed towards the Domain with the help of the Zora, who have also generously provided their help here."

Gatunos 'Gatu' Hobbs 7:40 PM Gatu was still unconscious, his body limp. Someone would need to carry him to the Wolfos and look after him to make sure he wakes up... Zelda would be able though to spot the scabbard of Gatu's sword sticking out of the ground a few feet away next to a dead Wolfos. The mystery swirling around Gatu thickens...

Vaati Picoru 9:00 PM After Zelda has finished addressing the crowd, Vaati resumes more quietly, “By the way princess, have you been hearing things lately? I just get this feeling he’s been snooping. Even if he didn’t cause the attack.”

ZeldaAPP 9:43 PM "I have not heard anything. I have been too focused on fighting to pay any mind to hearsay," Zelda answered Vaati back in the same hushed voice. "What do you speculate?" She considered, walking away to find the scabbard and sheathe the sword within it. Her attention turned towards the Zora briefly, who appeared to be tending to Gatu.

Vaati Picoru 2:13 AM “Odd, I thought he might have spoken to you by now. What is he planning?” (Majora has spoken to Zelda, was lying to Vaati intentional?)

question:

ZeldaAPP 2:39 AM Zelda frowned, a bit puzzled by the question until it connected what exactly was being asked about. "Oh, you mean the mask," she began. "I was briefly spoken with. I do not know what is being planned, only that something is being planned. I did not know to whom you were referring. My mind was fresh from battle and any 'he' would have fit said description." She continued walking along until she came upon her belongings in the field, gathering up her satchel. "This means he is another entity that will be a scourge upon my mind. I've enough to consider as is, attempting to gather the Sages, restoring Hyrule to its former self, and having to concern myself with two beings of darkness. All after having my piece of the Triforce torn from me and returned once again. I do not know what piece I am in this game of chess, but I am quickly beginning to think I am more of a pawn than any other."

(Nope, wasn't a lie. I genuinely didn't know who 'he' was. Lol. I didn't pick up on the reference.)

TikaAPP 6:12 PM Tika leaves Sayah's house to enter the Crimson Wolfos to make herself a cup of tea, eyes still heavy with sleep she does not notice all the dead lizalfos until she finishes her tea.

"OHMYGOSH!!" Tika shrieks.

"What happened!?!"

GanondorfAPP 7:35 PM Not far from the scene of adventuring, corpses and Wolfos, a shimmering blue portal springs to life. It hums and buzzes as it floats in the air, before out steps an imposing figure. Still in his regal armour with gold trims and swirling, dark cloak, Ganondorf makes himself known. With a beady, yellow eyed stare he looks out to those gathered in the Domain, from the fairy, to Zelda, to an unconscious figure on the ground to the diminutive wind sorcerer. The thin crease of that is his mouth moves into a half-frown then, glancing at the lizalfos corpse not far yonder.

"Princess," He speaks with bitter acknowledgement. The last time they encountered each other, he was ripping her shard of Triforce away from her. It had been a whole event. Now things were different; not only his plans, but the state of the world. "If you want the world back to how it used to be, you are to follow me at once." Pause. "...and only you."

The portal stays open, doubtless allowing Dragmire's subordinates to emerge not long after.

ZeldaAPP 11:23 PM Zelda was camped to herself, preferring the company of lizalfos remains than any particular person right now. She needed some time to think and plan out the next moves, always considering the welfare of Hyrule beyond her own needs at the moment.

She looked up from her thoughts, towards Tika and then to the field. She was about to answer, but her jaw locked up tight, holding back an answer in favor of the venom she intended to spew Ganondorf's way. And yet, there was a hint of worry. He did take her Triforce from her once...

Standing up, she steeled herself when her title was called, staying the hands of the warriors that were present here from doing something foolish in her defense. "Something that shouldn't have," she finally answered Tika in her approach to the King of Evil. "I will follow you." A strange response to be sure, but she was certain of what needed to be done.

"Let us be on our way. No one is to follow as I cannot guarantee your safety."

Gatunos 'Gatu' Hobbs 12:06 AM "...Zel...da..." Gatu spoke in his unconscious state, worry in their voice... His body shivered as the Triforce Mark on his hand glowed again, as well as his sword shaking in its scabbard as she drew nearer to the King of Evil. (edited)

Vaati Picoru 4:39 AM Vaati is certainly not pleased with the return of Ganondorf, but he does not show it openly. “So, Ganon returns, I assume I am to stay behind as well? I have no qualms with that, but surely you realize oh demon king that the dark god stirs? It would be wise to at least temporarily align ourselves against the end of all life.”

GanondorfAPP 5:12 AM "Be thankful I do not banish you to realms unheard of, imp." Ganondorf booms lowly to Vaati with a scowl, eyeballing the wind sorcerer before looking to Gatu through the corner of his vision. "I care not for your Gods."

Just as Artifa and Daray exit the portal, the two Yiga clansmen perhaps a bit unsettled by the trip (magic journeys took some getting used to!), Ganondorf is already heading back into the portal. The colour of it has changed just a little, but not enough to notice immediately. "Come. We leave." That order is specifically given to Daray and Artifa, just as he vanishes within the magical ring of glowing energies. Just like that? He's gone without a trace, that lingering sense of 'doom' that he somehow exudes gone with him.

ZeldaAPP 3:03 PM Zelda knits her brow. "Yes, you are to stay behind as well. His words were direct. Only I am to come." She followed up Ganondorf's statements with her own, if the man himself hadn't made himself clear.

"My work goes unfinished here. Continue it without me for the time being."

She looked over the two former Sheikah briefly as they stepped out of the portal, stepping past them to enter the swirling gateway.

Gatunos 'Gatu' Hobbs 3:35 PM Gatu only gains some brief consciousness, reaching out to Zelda with his hand that bears the Triforce Mark: his vision blurry as it was going in and out of focus. The moment Zelda enters the portal, Gatu slips back into the darkness of unconsciousness as his reaching arm slumps back to the ground. (edited)

Vaati Picoru 3:48 PM Idle threats, even from Ganondorf, don’t shake Vaati’s resolve. He simply nods to Zelda at her statement and watches them leave. If Ganon wants to just let Majora end the world, Vaati is not the person with the power to stop him.

Gatunos 'Gatu' Hobbs 3:53 PM With Zelda gone, there was some much cleaning up that needed to be done... Gather people into the Crimson Wolfos and treat anyone who has gotten hurt, take any plunder that's worth using for others to weaponize themselves for future encounters with monsters, and then Gatu... The battle took it hard upon him, so the best course of action instead of keeping him here outside is to go take him into the Wolfos to his room and lay him in bed to rest...

There will probably be a lot of question asked to him... like where he learned the swordsmanship he presented, the magic he demonstrated, and how in the hell he pulled that attack rush after he was beaten a bunch by some enemies; ESPECIALLY after he was grabbed and tossed through the air by the Giant Lizalfos... Not to mention how the use of his sword combined with the Light Arrow Zelda shot was just brilliant, even though it could've costed Gatu his life...

NoabAPP 4:17 PM Noab had a couple more lizalfos to deal with, but with the main force's morale broken we can just assume he and the Crimson Wolfos staff were able to mop them up without too much trouble. He sits on the porch cleaning off his claymore (NOT using seawater, he certainly knows enough about the care of weaponry to avoid THAT gaffe >:P). When Tika comes out and squeals, Noab raises a bushy eyebrow at her. "A battle happened, that's what! You got some sort of magical sound-blocking around that house or something?" Come to think of it, that would be pretty valuable for the inn. e.Ua No more complaints from customers that turned in early about the roistering going on in the tavern.

Irina:snowflake: 4:56 PM Irina’s magic was nearly exhausted after creating ice walls and infusing arrows with ice magic, so it was a relief to see the enemy defeated.

She could not rest for very long, though. Ganondorf’s appearance was completely unexpected and she was ready to use whatever magic she had left to fight him... but she did not have to.

The barmaid watched as Zelda left with him, not really having any choice. Then, after taking a deep breath and believing Zelda knows what she is doing, Irina goes to join the group at the Wolfos, seeing if anybody needs help. (edited)

GanondorfAPP 5:26 AM The portal fades from view after Zelda and Ganondorf's right and left hands pass back through it... fzzzzz-pop.

TikaAPP 4:34 PM Tika squirms embarrassed by Noab's question. "Lady Sayah's house is weird it feels like a different place sometimes, i'm sorry, we could have helped. Let us help now."

Tika hurries off to help treat the injured.

NetriAPP 5:31 PM Netri strolls into the Wolfos. "AHAHA! Lizafos! I missed the fight!"

Netri takes a stick and whacks a nearby lizalfos corpse.

"I bet my big bro could killie all these lizarmen all by himself Hahah!"

Netri continues whacking the lizard corpse. (Someone should probably stop her.)

Gatunos 'Gatu' Hobbs 1:27 AM A Zora was watching from a few feet away, having seen the Zora that was tending to the pink haired green tunic garbed and their hand glowing with the mark of the Triforce on it as Princess Zelda goes with the King of Evil to prevent a massive fight. This Zora has the one Zora residing over them takes their hand softly off of the pink haired man and then proceeds to bridal style carry the unconscious green garbed male over to the Crimson Wolfos, as well as retrieve their sheathed sword as well.
