Kuri lifted off of Jesse's shoulder and flew over to the center of the spring, the triforce on her forehead started to glow brightly while the spring follow suit. A large yellow snake spirit shot p from the water and floated around it in. "Zelda?"
"Close, but not." The little fairy fluttered in front of the spirit. Mixing in with it's light with her own.
"Then, are you her messenger? Yes. I sensed she was endanger..." The spirit replied seeing the little fairy nod.
"So can you help us? We need the crescent to get to Midna in the twilight realm." The fairy asked with a squeak.
"Yes, I believe the one of wisdom lies within a scared chamber beneath Kakariko Village." The spirit said. "But the task of finding it will prove your wisdom... tread cautiously." The spirit looked down at Jesse and Link. Suddenly bursting into millions of light and returned the carven to it's normal light.
"Alright, looks like we're heading to Kakariko." Kuri said, flying back down to Link.
"He's a liar!" A voice suddenly shouted out from the crowd that was shaking around Duo with Zelda over his shoulders. A girl with long red hair stood among them, she had darker skin that any normal Hylain. But she had lighter skin that any Gerudo. "If you say you won't hesitate to kill her, why don't you prove it by cutting her! I bet you anything you can't!" The girl shouted.

Galen squirmed in pain. He closed his eyes. It felt his brain was exploding. With a grunt his hand fell limp at his side. A trickle of dark blodd ran from his mouth. His body then lay motionless.
Duo raised an eyebrow. Who dared oppose him? Of course.. He couldn't cut her from the barrier around her. He was lucky for the fact that he could carry her with out getting blasted away. He thanked his shadow powers for that. He disappeared into the girl's shadow. He formed right in front of her. "I shall do as I please. I don't want her bleeding to death, you imbecile! But I am not afriad to cut kill any of you. here. You want me cut someone? You seem to be a fine subject." He then slashed her arm with his scythe. It wasn't too deep. It would hurt like hell and leave a scar... but she'd live. He pushed her down then walked away. "If anyone else wishes to oppose me, I shall simply kill yu. I was nice that time!" He growled. The undead guards then bagan shuffling people away. Duo walked toward one of the gates.
Jesse simply watched in amazement at the creature in front of him. Now they had to go somewhere else. Thy were wasting so much time!

The girl fell to the ground, clutching her arm, but she blinked when she saw the wound heal into a scar. One of the undead guards grabbed her wounded arm, wrenching her to her feet and pushed her towards the crowd. She looked at Duo and knew that she had to get Zelda away from him somehow, but she knew that if she tried using her fire powers it would be difficult. He looked powerful. But how to distract him? She was pushed forward again by another undead guard and follow silently after Duo, wondering why he wouldn't try to hurt Zelda, instead of making verbal threats to hurt her.
Kuri flew back down to Link. "Lets go, quickly, the faster we leave, the faster we can see Midna... and I'm worried about Zelda's body..." She murmured, thinking to herself. She felt a great surge of power, was it being moved around? But she knew no one could touch her, unless they had extremely strong powers to protect themselves from the shield.

Assis was watching the girl's display of courage from the market near the gate. He had cut through the dead with great ease, leaving them in ribbons outside the gate. Now, he was leaning up against a pole holding up a tarp. Against the wall underneath the tarp were stacked crates of produce, covered by more tarp cloths.
- He watched as the man cut the woman's arm and pushed her to the ground. This infuriated Assis. For this reason alone, he would take the man's throat. What sort of coward would treat a woman with such sheer disrespect? Not to mention, the coward was using the dead to heard the town's people around like cattle. Where were the guards in all this? Where was the sense of order that should be upheld in times of disorder? Despite Gerudo customs of "If there's a problem, handle it yourself," Assis was familiar with beurocratic methods of justice. He didn't agree with them, but he held no sympathy for those who did not uphold the codes by wich they live.
- Wait a minute...... something wasn't right here. Whoever the man was wearing the chained cloak, he was no ordinary necromancer. Perhaps that was simply a ploy to scare the citizens into being trapped within these walls. The woman tossed over his shoulder looked as if she were of royalty, Well, the dead were awfully weak, so he'd found. Anyone with a shovel could easily beat them to immobilize them. Something was definitely off, here. It wasn't the same as before, either. As rumor has it, Ganondorf was killed by some Zant character. Assis didn't know who this Zant was, but he knew that it was Zant's hand that took his father's life. That is, if Ganondorf was in fact still dead......
- Finally, the man began to walk down the street which Assis was watching from. He'd wanted so badly to take this man's life. To leap out from the shadows and impail this coward's beating heart with his blade would give him nothing but sheer pleasure. Still, something was telling Assis to hold back. He hesitated, caught by some voice pulling him back, telling him to wait. There was a better way to handle something like this. After all, he hadn't come this whole way just to be turned back by some puppeteer of the dead. Some thug who'd kidnapped an unconscious woman and was now carrying her over his shoulder like a rag-doll.
- There was no more time to think. If Assis wasn't going to act now, then he would have to conceal himself. Quickly as he could, Assis pulled one of the tarps from the stacks of crates against the wall. Like a cloak, he wrapped it around his body, concealing himself within the shadows as he waited for this stranger to pass by. It pained him to do so, but he sat in a corner and watched as the robed figure passed him by. Assis knew the man would find his minions cut into pieces if he were to walk outside that gate. After the man walked outside, Assis would have to make a run for it. He would hide within the city, biding his time until he could do something about this imposter.

Zant had watched the painful death of Galen all the while feeling a sense of accomplishment. He allowed the shadows that had ravaged Galen's body to filter out, returning them back to their rightful spots.. Now that I have so easily killed off Midna's fiancee her coronation as queen of the Twili has been postponed for now..
-He melted back into the shadows returning to his castle, he felt it would be best to check up on Cielene before heading off to assist Duo. He appeared next to the bed in which she slept. Her delicate, rosy lips were parted in an oval shape, he was half tempted to bend over and steal another kiss, but he reminded himself of previous one..I must not waste my energy on this girl! Not now in the hour of my revenge of Hyrule, but yet look at how her beautifully sculpted chest rises and falls with every breathe it is so.. He shook his head violently "No, these feelings will have to wait!" he said aloud to himself. He was about to leave her yet again when he heard a rustling on the bed..
Link simply nodded at Kuri, the whole spectacle with the light spirit left him slightly annoyed..Why can't such a powerful creature simply give us the crescent, especially since we are so pressed for time. I hope we do not end up arriving too late..He followed the little fairy out of the shrine, stopping to call Epona, "Walking is out of the question.", he said to Jesse.

(The reason for this, is because of the need of a plot, we can't have it extremely easy)
Kuri looked seeing the impatient look on Jesse's and Link's face. "Look, I know you guys would rather have the crescent from the spirits and get it over and done with, but you guys had to have at least known that there would have been some challenges in between them." She said, landing on Link's shoulders, her arms crossed at their impatient.
Din was pushed through the crowd. Feeling two eyes stare into her. She looked around, following the crowd and looked around. She spotted him not far from the crowd, his eyes following Duo. He looked like he had murder in his eyes, ready to kill the man that had taken the Princess hostage.

Duo paused. and the undead guards also stopped behind him. He glanced around at the covered fruits and veggies. Hmmm... there is something off here... I can feel someone of power... But... ah.. forget it. If there is someone out, he or she surely wouldn't be pushed around by the undead... Duo continued walking then paused at the gate. Well, his thoughts had just come true. "All be damned.." He muttered, seeing the remains of the undead. "... Hmph. Seems we have someone who knows what they are doing... Let him come to me..." Duo then Whispered a spell, sending the skeletons back into the ground where they belonged. Duo glanced back to the town. "I wonder what Zant is up to..." He muttered. Surely he should have gave him more orders by now.
Cielene woke up to see Zant angry at himself. She blinked her deep blue eyes at him. She pulled the covers up to her chin against the chill of the wind. "Is there... something wrong?" She asked in her soft voice that was still filled with sleep.
Jesse sighed. "I am not walking... I shall follow you... to this village." Jesse jogged to his horse who had found a pasture near by. He mounted then turned his steed toward Link. "Lead away... the sooner we can do this the better.
((I'll have Minda find Galen in a sec.))

Link hopped onto Epona, and nudged her into a full gallop. This time the ride was not so pleasant, the air seemed to have a foul feel to it. He was glad to see Kakariko village coming up fast in the distance. He turned his head to face Kuri, who had been perched upon his shoulder, " How do we get to this sacred chamber?"
Zant turned quickly around to face Cielene, his cheeks burning with embarrassment. "Cielene, did I wake you? I am so sorry, I simply came to check on you, can't leave my prisoners unattended for too long you know.", he said in a falsely cheerful voice. He walked up to her and patted her head, the softness of her hair set his heart racing. Quickly he removed his hand and softly said, " Now rest, there is nothing for you to worry yourself over."

Jesse followed Link on his own horse. However he turned his nose smelling something rancid and utimately unsettling. he looked to the east and saw a palace far off in the distance. It seemed to be coming from that direction. However he also seemed to feel a stange presence. Was there possible an aura blanketing the city?
Cielene sighed. Laying her head back down. She brushed her long hair out from around her shoulder and yawned. "Alright.. I guess that is normal... considerig.. I'm a prisoner..." She said it slowly, but looked away on the last part. Was that how he viewed her? A lowly prisoner who wants to escape? She sighed and looked at the cieling. However, it was lookig brighter. Was morning already nearing? Or what was morning in this realm? It was always filled with dark and shadows.
Minda sighed. She had gotten little sleep that night and she kept feeling as if there was an evil presence in her palace. The early morning was cold her in realm of twilight; It also seemed to be full of silence. She got up and slipped on her warm slippers. She decided she shoud check on Galen. He shoud at leastbe getting better by now...

((*>_> Re-post))
The moment Duo walked outside, Assis slipped from the shadows, taking the tarp cloak with him. He quickly made his way through the crowd toward Din, circling around behind her before stepping next to her in line. Without turning to look at her, Assis spoke through the folds of his cloak, keeping himself concealed.
- "Are you ok?"
- Without waiting for her answer, Assis tore a sliver of cloth from the tarp, letting it hang down to his knees. Just as well, he didn't ask her permission to help her. He was too angry right now to think straight. He was apalled by Duo's display of utter disrespect toward the woman. He'a treated her like a dog, or worse. More than that, he was irritated by the state of things in the town. He didn't come here to meddle with thugs or vengeful tyrants.
- As gently as he could, he took her arm in his hand, begining to wrap the wound in the cloth as he kept his head burried beneath the folds of the cloak. Again, without waiting for her to answer, he quickly added another question on top of the first one....
"That dog who did this to you, what was his name?"

Din blinked looking at Assis, a small tilt in her head. He was covered in the tarps, and not being able to see his face bugged her. She blinked when he asked if she was alright. "I-" But was quickly cut off when he took her arm and wrapped the cloth around her arm. "The man? I believe he's called Duo..." She said, but she was distracted by the tarp covered his face. She wanted to pull it out of the way, to see his face. But quickly held herself back. "Thank you..." She said, holding her bandaged arm. It felt, better though she could have managed to bandaged it on her own.
Kuri was sitting on Link shoulder thinking to herself. What was the way down into the sacred chamber. The spirit spoke of it being underground. Her ears suddenly perked up at the thought of something. "The graveyard." She said, spreading her wings and flew off at high speeds.

Zant watched Cielene for a moment, he was pleased at how well she obeyed his commands. He turned to leave but paused for a moment to say," If you get hungry just ring the bell.", he pointed at a red, crystal bell that sat on the dresser, " Someone should appear to take your order.."
He then warped to the castle town. The first thing that hit him was the stench of death..Ah Duo and his necromancy..He also noted that the emblems on the flags had been changed. He had warped in amongst the crowds of Hyrulians, he enjoyed feeling the sense of panic emanating from the people. In fact he fed off of it, his powers and senses becoming more fine tuned with the negative energy that coursed through him. Hearing a womanly voice mention the name of his minion, he turned to see an odd figure covered in tarp wrapping up the arm of the one who had previously spoken. He walked towards them," You didn't happen to see the way in which the man you call Duo went, did you?" he asked trying to sound like an angry citizen looking to apprehend the capture of their princess.
Link rode on after Kuri, but the stench was becoming too much for him to bear. He covered his mouth and nose with his hand trying to block it out to no avail, there was no escaping it. "Jesse, do you smell that!?", he called out slowing Epona so that he was at Jesse's side.

Cielene sighed. Was it worth going back to sleep? She got up and changed into a longer and warmer dress. Perhaps she should explore some. It would definately pass the time away.
Jesse nodded at Link. "Yeah... it smells horrible. Do you have any idea of what it is?" Jesse rubbed his nose, but even breathing through his mouth, it still gaged him.
Duo stopped. He could feel Zant in the city. He shook his head. The man was probably looking at his progress.

Assis ignored the large man who'd come up to them. Mabye it was his natural instincts, but he could almost smell the deciet in the man's voice. Zant's words were insincere, and Assis could hear it like a siren blaring into his ear. So, naturally, he ignored the man and continued his conversation with Din. If Assis would've known that Zant was the man behind this mess, then right then and there, he would've lashed out at the man coming up beside them. But, still, he would not have wasted his breath on the man.
"Hmm.... Duo? I have not heard this name before."
Assis stared ahead at the front gate to the city. As he turned his gaze, a glint of light reflected off his eye through the folds of his tarp. If anything, the woman would see this and know that he was human, in the least. He'd wanted to tell her that everything would be fine, that she should not have been treated in such a way, and that he would take the head of the man himself. But, he did not want to alarm her further. Instead, he kept the conversation on Duo. More specifically, his effect on the city.
".....How long has this been going on?"

Din glared over at Zant, she felt a chill run down her spine when he asked her where Duo went. Why would she care where that jerk went?! He took over and started taking prisoner of everyone! She turned her back on Zant. "Find him yourself! It won't be hard, seeing his minions are everywhere." Din snapped, looking back at Assis. "Not long." She dropped her voice so Zant couldn't hear her. "He appeared with Princess Zelda over his shoulder, claiming he'll kill her if anyone opposes him... He's lying... it's obvious." Din murmured, shaking her head. She wasn't exactly sure on how she knew Duo was lying. It was something she felt. Something told her that the Princess would be safe from any attack.
