(Thanks Hiru!)
"Wait Black!" But it was already to late, he had ran off the strange boy. She moved to run after him, but noticed something holding her back. She looked down seeing chains holding her against the wall. Black must have used some metal to hold her back when he grabbed her arms.
Eva shook her head. "If I take it, the sun will burn your skin... take it." She said, pushing his hands back.

Assis did not expect the man to be this persistant. He could not allow himself to be caught. Still, how did this guy know he was innocent? Despite appearances, Black had seen through it all to the truth of what had happened. How was this possible?
- No matter. He didn't have time to give this man. The plan had already been set into motion. Without further hesitation, Assis aimed the scimitar directly into the sky, gripping the handle tightly with both hands as he placed his feet on the bottom of the hilt. The energy swirling around the blade spun faster and faster until it melted into an orb, radiating brighter than the stars. Bright enough to be seen even in the middle of the day. Finally, once the blade had reached its full power, Assis bent upward, putting his face mere inches from the sword's butt. He took in one big breath, heaving his chest out before letting out a cry that sent the energy within the orb shooting up into the atmosphere with a cosmic blast of sonic noise. Like a bolt of lightning, Assis shot straight down toward the desert, leaving Black far above him.
- Within seconds, he'd shot himself under half a mile from ground level. Closer now, reaching the vital point of his landing. He bent forward, turning downward so that the blade was facing the Earth below. Once more, he filled his lungs with a great breath, before letting out yet another cry which sent the sonic energy down into the sand underneath him. Flawlessly, he had stopped himself just close enough so that he could free-fall to his feet. Eighteen feet above the sand, Assis, held the sword out to his side as he braced into a crouched position for the landing.
- To feel his feet hit the soft sand underneath was like a dream. The Gerudo blood in his veins treasured the essence of such terrain. Still, he had no time to rest. Without a second's hesitation, he threw his white cloak to the ground, looking around freely at his landing site. It lacked something to be desired. He'd planted himself at the end of a dead-end, walls of rodk enclosing him from three sides.
- From here he had two choices; he could take the obvious route out into the open, veiled by his sand cloak, or he could move into an opening in the rock wall. No, he would be trapped inside there. He knew this place all too well, indeed. The only option was to use the power of his sand cloak to shield him from mortal visibility. And it would only work if he was surrounded by the sand on all sides. He had move out out into the desert.
- It didn't matter to him if he had to walk for days to get this guy off his back. He knew he could survive. But, could an outsider match him under his own dominion? Leaving the white cloak in the sand, Assis threw his arms out to his sides, calling the winds to circle him, calling the sand to encase his body within its protection. The sand from the ground lifted up with the winds that circled Assis, forming a large sphere around him. The sphere slowly hardened into a glass-like substance as it lifted him up off the ground. This way, there would be no foot prints to track. He hovered within the glass sphere, knowing full well the limitations set upon him in doing so. He would not be able to attack from inside, but he also would not be seen by physical eyes.
- Still, if Black could read Assis as clearly as he did, then would he still be able to track him? Either way, Black had only read Assis' intentions. He did not appear to know of Assis' record. After all, Assis had remained a small-tale legend, mainly circulated amongst the various nations of the Gerudo people. Only someone with access to those kinds of records would be able to discover his reasons for fleeing in such a mysterious fashion.

Black slowed to a stop as he neared the ground. However, he still hit with enough force to send him rolling forward. He watched as the man ran off. "What is his problem? I just wanted to ask him a few questions." He shook his head and looked back up at Sky World. "And how did he get to Sky World in the first place?" Too many questions had been brought up by Assis' actions. Black sighed and shrugged. He wasn't going to bother with trying to find like him. But why was Assis running into Gerudo territory? If he was innocent, why was he trying to run away in a territory that belonged to Ganondorf? But then again, everything that used to be Hyrule belonged to The Dark Lord now.
Black summoned the clouds and lifted himself back up to Sky World. He thought to himself on the way back. "I think Niko said something about his name being El Assis... El Assis... Hmm... I'll have to look into this." He thought, then remembered something he had told Zelda. "Something about there being part of Hyrule still intact... Where? Underground?" Black couldn't think of any other places that Ganondorf might have overlooked. Unless it was on the very boundaries of Hyrule. He rememered being able to see The Dark Lord destroy Kokiri Forest, Kakriko, Goron Mountain, Zora's Domain, Castle Town, and even Hyrule Castle itself. "Hmm... Anything that's left of Hyrule will die soon... even the green grass." Black could hardly imagine how horrible that place would soon be. A place of avarice, wrath, fear, and not even a shread of hope. Everything would be gone if Link did not get his butt up and start re-training himself to use a sword soon. Black sighed and waited as he approached Sky World agin.
When Black reached Sky World, he slowly walked to the hospital, thinking to himself. He couldn't keep his thoughts off how Assis might be working for Ganondorf. "He had no evil intent what-so-ever, but... Why would he try to escape in Gerudo territory?" Nothing added up. Assis had killed an assassin to save Link, but ran off in Gerudo Desert, a place almost every assassin, theif, and crook hid in. "Was he a spy? No, no... His intentions would have been evil then..." Black wanted to pull his hair out at how frustrating it was to figure out. "Ugh! I'll figure it out later!" He muttered as he entered the hospital.
Black headed through the building until he found Envy again. "Hey, sorry for chaining you like that, but I didn't want you helping me chase down a person that had just murdered a nurse." He explained as he took the chain off her. He didn't say anything about what happened. Black didn't want to make her worry about it as well. After taking the chains away, he slipped the metal back into his pocket and remembered the metal he hid in his glove as a just-in-case measure. Black quickly emptied his glove into his pocket and looked at Envy. He kind of expected to be slapped for running off and leaving her chained against the wall like that, but if that's what she did, then he wouldn't argue with it. He would just accept the fact that he did something to anger her, then apologize formally.
((Wow... Hiru, you have made me post my longest post yet. Congratulations!))

Eva looked at him, she did even worse than hitting him. Tears appeared in her eyes. "But what if he had hurt you? Or worse?" Envy sobbed closing her eyes and hugged him tightly. She didn't say what she would feel if Black got hurt. he was the only person who really took notice of her. She was basically ignored, or forgotten.

Black was quickly cut down by Envy's tears. "... I'm sorry..." he wrapped his arms around her and held her close. "I didn't mean to make you worry." He muttered as he stroked his hand through her hair. There wasn't much more he could say to her when she was crying. If Envy had hit him, then he would have gotten over it, said 'sorry', and moved on. But since she was crying, he felt even worse for making her worry like that.

Link stirred and slowly opened his eyes. He moaned quietly as he slowly stood up from his bed. He spotted his sword beside his bed side and picked up it up. He grunted in pain. How was he going to stop Ganondorf if his wrist hurt too much to even carry his sword? Link sighed and wandered out into the halls. He was bored and unlike last time, he was wide awake.
