*Finally....*
Assis was relieved to see the man cease following him. He had much to do. It wouldn't be long before someone was sent to investigate, if not Zelda herself. Assis had to get to Hyrule Castle, and fast. If he was lucky, he'd get there by nightfall, without any interruptions. Perhaps he could slip through the forest..... or, what was left of it.
- Either way, if Assis were to die..... to be killed by the Dark Lord..... it would all be a waste. Everything he had just done would be for nothing. If it came down to it, Assis had to be prepared to demolish anything that stood in his way. Still, there was something he had to do first.....
- Assis made his way through the desert, hovering inches over the sand within his glass sphere. He followed the rock wall, moving northeast toward Gerudo territory. He would have to go through the fortress to get to Hyrule Castle Town, but there was no way he could wait for nightfall to pass through. Then again, who knows? Perhaps his cloak would hold out long enough for him to make it through undetected.
- For two hours, Assis scaled the rock wall until he spotted the gate to the fortress. As always, there were two guards hold up at the gate - one on the bridge above, and one on the ground in front of the gate itself. Assis, to say the least, was not happy about this. He did not want to chance a gust of wind blowing some sand over the surface of his cloak, giving away his position. It was the main flaw with this magic cloak. He left no trace on the ground, but he was also a large, floating object less than a foot in the air. Either way, it was a chance he had to take. At this point, he had no choice. Strange, how this was one of the few places that had not been destroyed, yet it was about as safe as a bomb shelter full of dynamite.
- Assis slowly approached the gate, which was closed to his dismay. He may even have to scale up the wall. That meant he would lose the cloak. Still, it also meant that he would not have to worry about the large, bulky sphere bumping into any walls along the way.
- On the other side of the gate, Assis let the glass fall to the ground as sand, leaving himself vulnerable to the eye. From the back side of his belt hung a grappling hook, crafted by Gerudo hands themselves. It would help tremendously with this expedition. He aimed the spring-locked device up to the first ledge he could find, firing the spike into a rough indention on the face of the rock wall, pulling himself up with great ease.
- Just like when he was younger, Assis would come out here to practice rock-climbing with his hookshot. The hook was a child's version of the grapple which he now possesses, yet it'd given him much joy at a young age. He would scale the walls outside this fortress for hours before he was made to return to the safety of the fortress. Days were a lot longer back then, when the Gerudo were still shut out from the rest of the world.....
- Within a couple minutes, Assis had reached the top of the rock wall. He stared around at the desert he had left behind him, taking in a deep breath before turning to face the fortress. It'd been seven years since he last looked upon these walls. So many memories, so many of them were so happy. It was hard to believe that the world was not what he'd imagined as a boy.
- Assis shook off the sentiment, still aware of his agenda. He began to walk along the surface of the wall, trying not to look down. Or, at least not to the left. He still bore the mark on his right hand, but, there was no way he would try a straight walk-through. If the guards did not know of his leave, they would not allow his return, no matter how many years it'd taken him. Although, that same mark was his ticket into Castle Town. All he had to do was show his "Gerudo-proof-of-membership" tattoo, and he would pass through undetected. After all, it'd been seven years since a single member of the Gerudo had laid eyes on him. That is, up until today......

Link sighed and found himself outside. How was he supposed to train with his wrist? Well, there IS Zelda if I'm in a rush. She'd do it in a heartbeat... Link thought to himself. "Black? White?" He called out loud, wondering if they knew of any exercises he could without his wrist. Or maybe there was a stick, much lighter than a sword.

White happened to be around the area at the time of Link's call and heard him. "Hm? Sounded like Link." He thought, turning around to see him. "Yeah? What is it?" He asked as he approached Link.

Envy leaned her head against his chest. "I can't make you promise not go running off like that again... cause I know you will... just try not to be so careless..." Envy murmured when he held her, eyes were still wet with tears, but they were no longer crying. She was just glad he was okay.

Tenser just sighed and put the shirt back on.
"So, we going anywhere special? Or are we just walking..."
He reached over and wrapped his arm around her hip, holding her closely.

Black nodded and kissed Envy. "Alright, I promise not to be so careless next time." He was glad he hadn't told her about the part of jumping off the clouds and landing in the Gerudo Desert. She definitely would kill him if she knew he had been that careless.

"Is that something light up here I can use in place of a sword? I feel horrible if I don't train..." Link answered, glancing around at the grounds. "Wait, White, where's Epona?" He asked, suddenly realizing he hadn't seen his horse since sometime before the Water Temple.

White thought for a moment. "Well, she wasn't anywhere near Black or me when we brought everyone up here, so I would say, she's still in Hyrule. Or at least, what's left of Hyrule." He walked up and placed a reassuring hand on Link's shoulder. "Don't worry, horses are smarter than most people think. Epona will will keep herself safe." He said, then looked at Link's wrist. "And as for the lighter weapon... I could make you a weaker sword you can train with. It will be the same size and shape, but the metal will be much lighter and weaker than the Master Sword." White explained as he pulled some metal out of his pocket.

Link shivered involuntarily; the mention of Hyrule only reminded his body that Ganondorf beat him pretty bad. "Sounds good." He snapped back into reality. He couldn't be afraid to fight Ganondorf again, he needed to a clear mind in order to beat him.

White nodded and threw the metal to the cloud ground. He slowly formed pices of a sword, then pieced them together. "Alright, that should be good." He said as he picked the quickly forged blade up off the ground. White handed it to Link, but didn't let go until he gave him a warning. "Just don't hit this word against anything hard. It will break, and it could possibly slice your head open." He explained, then let go of the blade so Link could wield it. "Also, there's someone you should meet, if I can find her." White was referring to Opal and how she was the guardian of the Wind Element.

((Well, if you can think of a way for Ganondorf to corrupt her without going to Sky World, then I'll do it.))
