Welcome to Gaia! ::

When Link asked if they all had methods besides walking to get around, Mikau had simply shrugged. “Walking and running always served me fine.” He had said, moments before Zelda had ridden by and Link had gone after her. He sighs, and then starts after them. His run was nothing to laugh at, as he could match the speed of the horse's at a slow-ish gallop, though not catch up. Thanks to long periods of training, he could hold that pace for roughly ten minutes before tiring to much to continue. So he ran off behind Epona and Link, managing to stay close enough to use the wake through the crowd that the galloping horse made to not need to dodge civilians. He would have to find some way to travel besides this soon. He had always been able to get places by swimming or walking before, so he had never needed another way to travel.

Galen nearly went into heart arrest when Midna teleported in front of him. He had forgotten she could do that. "M-Midna!" He nodded. "Alright." He was happy that she decided to stay with him.

"No need for formalities Jesse, just call me Zelda." Zelda said, looking over at him when he called her 'Your Highness' of course, she wasn't to descend to the throne until she was married. "A race. Alright, why not?" A smile played across her face, she was too focused on Jesse, she couldn't sense Duo nearby. "Alright. Ready?" She asked, getting her horse in racing position.

Riuny looked over at Jesse, then up at Zelda from her lap when they agreed to race. She immediately jumped down so she wouldn't get in the way. She felt as if she sensed something in the distance, but when she looked around, her ears twitching. She could hear and see no one.

(Zelda silleh! xD)

"You can do it! And if you forget, I'll just correct you, alright? Three, Two, One, Go!" She shouted, the two horses bolting into a fast gallop as they raced towards Lake Hylia. Her hood suddenly slipped off, revealing her long blonde, brown hair and bright blue eyes. But she took no time to pull her hood back up. She urged Jem to charge forward, the horses hooves trampling over the earth. The horses seemed evenly matched, but Jesse's horse managed to slip ahead of Jem.

((OH YEAH! DURR!!!))

Jesse laughed as he urged his horse forward. When he glanced back at Zelda, his eyes widened. The woman was magnificently beautiful. He then shook his head and urged his steed forward. He could see the lake maybe a half of a mile ahead of him. The steep slope gave away. She looks... as though she is the one from the legends I heard about Earth... The beautiful princess that had been captured by the evil man of the desert... Ah but the legend was from years and years ago... long before my time... I wonder if there is a way she is related to the one that held the Ocarina of Time... He glanced back again. Her blue eyes were mesmerizing. He almost couldn't away... "Zelda..." He whispered to himself. He looked back ahead and saw the the lake's edge was a mere fifty feet before him. He urged his stallion forward.

Duo was panting. "Damn... I was never told I would have to keep up with a flipping horse!" He finally caught up and saw that the girl's hood had flown door. She had stopped in right in his tracks. He had to admit that Cielene was beautiful... But her... Something about her intrigued him. He disguised his magic making it have the essence of Jesse's so they wouldn't notice him. The lady then turned around. She had eyes like the pure waters of Lake Hylia. How he would love to stare into them while she lay next to him. Thoughts crossed his mind that caused him to smile mischievously.

Cielene blinked as the man walked back in. She saw the food and then it dawned on her how hungry she was. She hurried over to the table and cleared it so that the tray could be placed on it. She moved the chair out for Zant, then sat down herself. She looked nervously at him as he sat down. He looked calmer than before, but she was still dreaming of his kiss. It made her feel... different. She had never felt like this. It was weird... Perhaps the crystal was drawing her towards her master. She didn't know, but there was one thing that she did know. For the quick moment it lasted, she had enjoyed it. The feelings it sparked. However she knew that if her brother found out, he would be angry. So she wouldn't ask to do it again. But if she did, she would not stop him.

"Good evening, Cielene. Sorry for just walking out, I had to think through some things. Anyways I hope you enjoy boar's head!" Zant lifted the lid off one of the plates on the tray revealing a freshly cooked boar's head, with an apple stuck in its mouth. A sweet, savory aroma filled the air as he cut some meat off the head and put it on Cielene's plate before serving himself, this was a first for him. Out of his pocket he drew two red candles, he set them in the middle of the table, and lit them by heating up the shadow cast by the wicks. He took two glasses, placing one in front of Cielene, and poured out some red wine into each. "A toast to your little crystal." He smirked as he clinked his glass with hers and took a huge gulp of the wine.
