Welcome to Gaia! ::

The elf jumped down and grabbed Korin by the neck and slammed him up at the wall. "Here, you are no prince... here you have no ranks or levels of prosperity. Here is death, darkness and despair... I don't care who you are, but only those of the chosen can pass through these doors, and I don't see an inch of chosen on your face." She tossed him to the ground and glared at him. "If you wish to live, leave... return to your domain... your kin is not useful here... I'm surprised you came all this way without turning back to water." She jumped back to high heights with ease as she put her arrows down and looked down at Korin. "If you really have property here, then go ahead, try to pass Yamamaru... however trust me, it'll be your last."

(Sorry, I know Silver's a b***h, but you have to realize what she has gone through)

(Um... that wasn't god mode... god mode would have had Silver getting angry and killing Korin on the spot... however, I did not do that, I had her say her piece and throw him to the ground. That is not God moding...)

The elf laughed as she shook her head, "To gut me... you would have to catch me, and I could circle you ten times before you could move... but I'm curious for once, what is this property that you seek and are so determined to get to inside... if you can prove to me that you truly and utterly need it in order to save your meek existence... then maybe I'll consider letting you inside." The elf said, now lying on her side as she stared down at her. If he had not amused her so, she would have struck him down with an arrow for his mouth, especially his disrespect towards an elf so. Still, she was curious how far he would go, even enough to stop Yamamaru from killing him.

(That's alright Zoven... we all get writers block at time ^^)

"Hm, looks like he's not going to move..." Silver said, looking down at Yamamaru. She remembered when she first met him, he was more than just a hunk of armor. It seemed there was a little bit of soul left underneath all that armor. when she started to protect the temple when Ganondorf took rule, he started to help her. Or was he only doing it for the temple... he did save her once when a creature that was slower, but too strong for her was just about to kill her. She had braced her tired and weak body for the attack, it never came as Yamamaru had seem to killed the creature where it stood. She watched as he said nothing and moved back to his position back in front of the door. Ever since then, she took on the creatures from a far with her bow, and he took the creatures that got in close. She owed him her life now, it was an oath she took in ancient language to help him protect anything that came to this temple. Even a silly, over tempered prince of a Zora who didn't seem to take 'no' for an answer. What a stubborn fool, if Yamamaru sees him worthy then he'll pass through, however... if he doesn't believe the Zora is worth their time, he won't even move, yet there was still the possibility of him attacking if the Zora believed he has to fight to get through.

"What's the plan here?" Denji suddenly murmured as he jumped onto the bongo drum. Heck, he wasn't going to through his hell hole just to have someone who could still be potentially helpful die at the end. Not to mention he wasn't ready to die either. He drew his sword and neared the creature. "Hey, let me make up ruining your life, alright?"

((Sorry, I was tired of being stuck.))

Silver jumped down and followed after him. "Do you really want to see what has become of your property? As you sure if you knew what was going on that you really would go through the trouble of retrieving it? Fine... I'll take you to it, but let me explain before you take it and run off a few things that has happened these past seven years." Silver said blocking his path. "I'm guessing you haven't realized, but that Sapphire was not taken from the Zora Royalty as you so claim, or is being held 'hostage' in the temple of time... if anything that stone belongs to the goddess and the sages who reside in that temple more than you Zoras who took it and have guarded it until the time was right. Anyways, it was given to the Hero of time by the princess 'Ruto' while you were off in La la land. He used it to open the door of time to defeat the King of Evil, the one who froze your domain and killed all the Zoras! Now think for a moment, do you really want the Sapphire back to ruin all that has been accomplished?" Silver glared at him wondering how far his stubbornness would go. However it didn't matter what he said as she took his hand and pulled him through what looked like a portal.

They stood in the temple of time as the slow hymn of the monks hung over them. "There..." She said, pointing to the Altar of Time. "The Hero of time took the three spiritual stones from the forest, mountain, and river to this altar... playing the Song of time, he opened the door to the Master Sword... the Blade of Evil's Bane... now go ahead. Take your property..." Silver said gesturing him to approach the Altar.

Josline jumped down onto the Giant Bongo Drum as she landed on her good leg first. She looked up at the two giant hands that were rotating around the drum. "Denji! We need to take out the hands first!" Josline shouted as she pulled out her bow and arrows. She strung the arrow and fired it at one of the hands as they tried to grab Denji.

Korin began to walk slowly toward the altar. There it was. The key to returning to his people. He was in a bit of shock. "My people... were killed? The domain was frozen?" He sank slowly, kneeling by the altar. The object he'd strived to obtain, the one thing that could save him from exile was sitting mere feet from where he kneeled. This was nearly unbearable. He stood shaking his head as another thought occurred to him. "If the sword has been retrieved, why do you still need the stone?" He was tempted to just reach out and grab it. But now, if what she said was true, he didn't even have a people to return to. He had nothing. No home. No throne. And if she continued to prevent him, no stone. He looked up at the gathered stones. The three proud symbols of the people of nature. The Goron Ruby, the Kokiri Emerald, and the Zora Sapphire. All of them brought together in trust of the Hylian people to access power against evil. A mixture of hate, sorrow, and indignation coursed through Korin's veins. He turned from the altar and began to trudge towards the exit. "You. You disgrace yourself. You come against me in this place of unity. I and my people have been of nothing but service to Hyrule. Yet the instance I ask for something in return, I am treated with hostility and distrust. I hope whatever it is your protecting is worth your dishonor." He passed her and approached the large wooden door. Thoughts refused to pass through the fog that had enveloped his mind. The only conscious thought made was of the guard outside. If he didn't let him pass, he'd have to jump over the kneeling behemoth.

Korin stopped, turned, and stormed directly up to the elf. His voice lowered and trembled with suppresed rage. "I haven't been a prince for over a decade now. I'm not entitled to the treatings of royalty. I do deserve the treatings of a person. I came to you with nothing but respect. My courtesy was met with violence and insolence." He raised his hand, pointing behind her. "That stone was my last chance. With that, my people would have brought me out of exile. Now it's useless. Now I don't have a people." He turned away from her, but did not move. "Now I have nothing."

Korin sank to the floor. Who am I? What am I? And why does any of it matter? Questions flooded his mind as he slumped, kneeling on the cold tile. He thought that there was no hell like being exiled from your own people. This was worse. There weren't a people to be exiled from. Besides his family, he was the only remaining Zora. He couldn't face his father, nor his sister. He was all alone and had nothing left to fight for. How did all of this come to pass? What the hell had happened in his absense? He tilted his head and looked into the still standing portal. He officially had nothing to live for. He may as well have died. There was only one thing left to do. He would have to start over.

Korin got up and approached the portal. He stopped just infront of the swirling energy and took a deep breath, exhaling slowly and composing himself. He stepped through and was teleported to the other end. As he stepped out, he saw the elf walking away, clearly upset. He called after her. "What is your name?"
