Midna said nothing. She didn't want a truce. She just wanted to get back to the Twilight Realm and get her old form back. And maybe knock Link around the head to see if there was a brain in there.
Zelda nodded. "Indeed." Then she grinned. "You know, you ought to be scared of the shadows. They'll come back to haunt you. This one, anyway."

Alaci watched Link and Midna argue, she sighed. "I guess that's a yes," Alaci said softly, following them. Alaci looked around while listening to them talk. She looked up at the sky silently and thought about what would happen next.

Andarlo watched and listened to the spectacle taking place before him. "My God, will they ever stop arguing long enough to get something done?" he muttered to himself. He wasn't about to just go over and ask them to stop, but then again. "Who knows how long they will keep it up." Andarlo looked up from his musings and saw Link, Zelda, and Midna were all walking away. He looked at the others and said, "I'm going on with them. Although, I'm not really looking forward to it."

Coremean hastily gathered the rest of the rope and his special arrows and hurried along with the rest of the group.

Alaci smiled hearing Andarlos comment. Alaci looked back at him, "I agree, I'm just with them because I'm still a bit confused on whats going on," Alaci said, "And I need to find someone," She added silently, twirling her locket.

Rayne groaned, but quickly chased after the group. If he was going to into Twilight, then maybe one of the other animals could carry him and he could take a well deserved nap. At least, he sincerely hoped that that would be the case.

"So, back to the twilight huh? Well I guess I shouldn't complain. This land is in trouble. Might as well do my part." Andarlo said to himself as they continued walking.

Coremean bit his lip. He wasn't keen on the idea of getting back into the twilight, but if it furthered his search... He would do just about anything. It also seemed as if everyone had their own private mission... Was it by pure coincidence that all of them had met like this? It seemed too odd to be just a coincidence. As they trudged along, Coremean slowly became oblivious to everything as he sunk deeper into his own thoughts.

'Is something wrong?" Rayne asked as he glanced back at Coremean. He seemed to be in deep thought, or that his mind just simply wasn't there. Rayne was more concentrated in the ache in his arms, and how much fun it would be to make someone else carry him than the actual trip.

"It's nothing," Coremean murmurred back, barely audible. To distract himself from his thoughts, he began to kick whatever touched his feet. One rock, a round rock, a stick that's shaped like a rock...

Alaci listened to snippets of other peoples conversations. She tilted her head up to the sky once more, watching clouds pass by. Alaci smiled and looked forward before she closed her eyes, deep in thought, wondering what would happen next and where exactly they were heading.

Karathor
Past
As an infant of only two years of age, Karathor was taken from his parents in a vessel of rogue pirates. Taken away from what little he knew about the world. Taken away from his younger brother of only three days. Karathor's mother escaped with her youngest son, never to be seen again. His father was slain and he was taken in as a pirate himself. However, Karathor's father was no ordinary man, and it took no ordinary amount of force to subdue and dispose of him. He died in a pool of his captors' blood, tears of pure fear running down his face. Tears he shed for his wife and two sons. Even though Karathor had long since realised he wasn't old enough to know his brother's name, or remember either of his parents' names, he held their memory deep inside his heart. As he was raised to be a pirate, his instincts drove him to fall directly in-line with the orders he was given every day. As he worked his fingers to the bone, the memory of three lost souls built inside him, relentlessly building his hatred for these people. In a small, way, he found himself amused by his instincts which told him to deceive them and turn on them as was his right to defend his father's honor. Before long, Karathor slipped almost completely out of the eye of the pirate chief that drove him. He was simply one of many of his kind, a lost soul posessing some level of unique power. Much of the pirates were fire-based mages or barbarians, others were able to manipulate water to give them the advantage in battle or push a storm away from their vessel. Yet they were all hands to the slave driver smirking from atop his throne. For he held the one power that none of them held. A power he held over them, burrowed deep into their minds. Fear. If only their chief had known of the trickery and flawlessly-played deceit the lightning boy had woven. He had the chief convinced that there was utterly no chance of him lashing out at his captain. A belief that one night cost him his life.
Ever since Karathor had taken back his life, there was only one thing on his mind. After allowing his hatred to fester for so many years, it had consmed him. It grew until it swallowed him whole, and there was nothing left. After personally disposing of the entire fleet, Karathor summoned his father's half-demon blood to draw lightning into the vessel and destroy it completely. He fell to the depths of the sea, silently and un-missed by the rest of the world. He thought back to the stories he had heard of his capture growing up, about how his mother took his younger brother and leapt into the sea foolishly to escape their fate here. Yet, Karathor was smirking himself as he sank to the floor of this sea. He knew.... despite his father's half-demon blood with its dominant lightning that surged through his body with raw power.... that his mother would be here protecting her son. Even if she couldn't save his soul, her body rested in these waters, somewhere. She would be watching over him. And when the time came, he would re-surface, transformed by the sea itself into something else entirely. When the time comes, his flesh will bear resemblance to its younger self, yet the soul staring out from behind those bleeding eyes would hunger. It would hunger until it drove him mad.... and then he would feast.
Alignment
Karathor is pure evil. He cares not for the likes or plans of any other being on the face of this realm. He simply wishes to consume the world in darkness and watch as the monsters it gave birth to; the ones who took from him his every and only chance at happiness; are reduced to that which lies within their souls; absolutely nothing. His favorite quote is, "If I only could, I'd set the world on fire."
Abilities/Combat
- Weapons -
Karathor refuses to use any form of blade or club. He also will not use an arrow, a canon, or even a bomb. In honor of the valor his father showed in fighting for the lives of his sons, Karathor swore on his father's grave that he would never lift anything more than his bare hands to carry out his will. The only thing that could possibly bring him back would be the reunion of his younger brother. That is, if he could be convinced it was true.
- Half-Demon -
His father's half-demon blood gives him more physical strength than an average mortal. As well, he is much more resiliant, and much quicker to heal. Lacking the distractions of a human mind or heart, he tends to push his body harder still than most half-demons twice as strong as himself, not to mention true demons. Still, it is possible to wear him down over a long period of time and eventually land the killing blow into his heart. At his peak physical condition, he could take a single arrow to the heart and walk away from it. Also, because of the life he's spent working, his blood pumps as a human's, and smells like a human's as well. However, his flesh has been transformed by this, having absorbed the darker, demonic essence from his blood. Therefore, the more blood he loses, the more demonic he becomes, and the more powerful his attacks.
- Flesh -
The lightning that surges through his body plays a large role in his hand-to-hand combat. Anyone who has a high concentration of water in their body such as humans, or who has an affinity to electro-magnetic fields can be quickly burned and/or drained by the erratic nature of his power. Since his blood is in fact such a rare mix in itself, his body reacts differently to defend itself than most would. Since he uses his own body as the grounding force to his lightning, his very flesh has become almost sponge-like to the passing of energy. Like how water can pass through a cloth, his flesh reacts in a very similar way to various types of elemental and magical energy frequencies. In short, he can absorb an energy-based attack and turn it against a foe, or simply allow an energy-based attack to hit him, never batting an eye to it. It would take an immense, almost cosmic amount of energy to burn him or even push him back, such as that of a god's. Or perhaps the power of someone who carries a piece of the triforce wold be strong enough to drive him into hell.
- Range -
Ability1 - Rayden: due to Karathor's unique connection to electricity, he can manipulate the amount of static electricity in the atmosphere and create bolts of natural lightning that travel at matching speeds or greater. Just as he can fire guided streams of lightning directly from his hands, he can guide massive amounts of various types of electricity through the air arond him. The more moisture that lies in the air, the easier it is for him to move his attacks in the direction he wants them to go after they've started moving. As for his range, he can virtually send bolts of lightning to the other side of the world, provided there is a constant chain of power connecting him to the source which he is controlling. If any part of his chain is broken, he would have to mend that part, or build a new chain to continue sending his power into the air to bring it crashing down again.
Ability 2 - Lazar: Karathor can release a forceful stream of electrical energy from his mouth to a range of up to two meters. However, it's much harder for him to control it's size and direction. Due to their erratic nature, screaming lightning blasts have more kinetic force behind them, and often stun a target as well as push them back.
Ability 3 - Pika: from any other closed point of his body, Karathor is able to send charged bursts of numbing electricity at a range of approximately five meters or less. Body lightning may be concentrated in a single direction, but is generally used to stun or slow down a group of enemies surrounding him from all angles.
- Melee -
As far as his ranged attacks, Karathor only uses them when he feels a much higher amount of power is needed to fell an enemy. With hand-to-hand combat, he litterally uses his bare hands as conductive tracks for his power to flow through. A direct hit from one of Karathor's fists will send a burst of numbing electricity through the body of his target, as well as the searing heat that comes with the passing of electricity through flesh. From any part of his body, direct contact allows a target to experience the full power of his lightning. Because his body is the direct channel which carries his power, both physical strength and speed are dramatically enhanced by the release of his power.
Ability 4 - Pawnch: Once again, his bare hands are the strongest exit point for his power. He can generate a constant stream of power from his hands, and release it from his palms and fingertips. His knuckes, however, allow for a stabbing effect to take place, where his power litterally pierces through the body of its target, generating more kinetic force than his screaming lightning technique. If he were to concentrate his power into his hands and hold it there, he could send an explosive blast of lightning through an enemy that could burn through the fluids within their body at a rate that would force their entire body to explode outward, releasing the evaporated fluids and destroying the body. However, an attack like this may be slower than a normal attack due to the immense strain it places on him to carry such an intense and highly volatile amount of power from one point to another.
- Gills - Karathor cannot drown. Because his mother's undying spirit that lies within him, water does not have the adverse effects that it does on surface breathers. If anything, moisture amplifies his attack strength, therefore an underwater lightning attack from Karathor would be at least triple the strength as any dry attack. Despite the monster that lives inside of him, the love of a mother for her child is expressed from within as he becomes submerged in water. Not a drop would touch his lungs, or even bypass his lips or nostrils. He breathes underwater as if encased in a bubble of air, although the air he is breathing is made from the water around him. Therefore, once he pulls in the oxygen from the water around him, a bubble of hydrogen amasses before him. Once he exhales the carbon-monoxide into that bubble, a much heavier form of liquid is created, one that sinks to the floor instead of bubbling up at the top. On the surface, it would appear as if he were not breathing at all.
- Wake - Because of the raging darkness within, he is incapable of sleep. However, he does occasionally sit and rest his body every few months, for a period of one day. The time he can go without rest varies depending on how much power he expels while moving. Still, regardless of how much energy he uses the screams inside keep him awake, and because his lack of sleep he often tends to lack the ability to reason. He simply reaches out and destroys everything he can get his hands on. The demon inside him has twisted with the rage he has been feeding it since he was young. Constantly it feeds upon the negative energy swirling within him as an endless vortex of raw, abrasive energy. The demon is always transforming, as they both are always awake, feeding and growing and never dying.
Items
- He carries no particular items of value or use. He litterally uses his bare hands for everything.
Twilight Form
- A spirit. His empty soul leaves nothing to desire, nothing to instinct. He simply reverts into an ethereal form. However, he does not take on the shape of a spectre. Instead, his body retains its physical shape. The difference is that his appearance is of a black veil with a red outline. Instead of the burning, paralyzing electricity his living body possesses, his power turns black and red like his body. Black lightning carries a dark-red outline just like his aura. Instead of the physycal effects lightning has on a body, his dark lightning is the opposite. It drains the energy of its target, both kinetic and thermal, and breaks it down into the most basic form of energy before being absorbed into his body, thereby removing all traces of the target's spiritual signature from it. After it becomes untraceable to its original host, Karathor then absorbs the energy into himself as well as the target's life force. However, since it breaks the energy down to the most basic form, he is unable to absorb any ability-based powers during the absorbtion. The only problem with this effect is that it takes a long time to drain an entire person. The upside is that it allows Karathor to rapidly heal himself while in his twilight form, up to ten times faster than a normal person. However, this figure varies on how strong the target is, and how quickly the lightning is able to break down the energy. Beyond that, Karathor can absorb massive amounts of power in mere seconds.
