Welcome to Gaia! ::

(What color Chu-Chu? The red ones are actually nice... and squishy. ~Starts avidly poking a red Chu-Chu~)

Mikau looks between the man in the tunic, and the cloaked figure he had just called Zelda. He didn't attach any significance to the name. Glancing around, everyone in earshot was looking their way. It was apparent they did. He looks back at the cloaked figure, head cocked to the side slightly. Who was this robed woman? Some kind of celebrity, or politician? Whoever she was, she was somewhere high up on this land's food chain. He looks back at the figure with the tunic. He at least had to learn his name, even if he didn't remember him.

(That's just fine. I forget random Zelda facts too. Woudnt that be funny if Zant accidently used RED Chu jelly?)

"Shhh! I'm hiding from the guards! But it's good to see you! How come you're all the way here?" She had to many questions to ask. Suddenly she hugged him and smiled brightly. "I know you were dying for one." She almost laughed. She blinked looking over at Mikau. "Oh is this a friend?" She asked, glancing at Link.

Rinuy flinched when Duo hit Jesse again. He was getting beat up bad. She looked away, she couldn't stand for this anymore. But how was she suppose to help? She remembered her master taught her how to dimension hop. She suddenly blasted Duo and Zant with ice, breaking the shadow chains for a few seconds. She rushed forward, transforming back and grabbed Jesse and Cielene's hands and disappeared into the shadows, heading back to hyrule.

Link smiled as well, the hug left him feeling something he hadn't felt in a long time, friendship. "Wow, I thought you'd be in the castle. What are you doing roaming the town!?" He exclaimed excitedly. "I came to ask you something important, but I ran into this fellow. I think he is a friend, however, I am having trouble remembering his name. But I swear that I know him from somewhere..." Link replied to Zelda, turning to the Zora "May I ask your name?"

Zant used his power over shadow to freeze the chaos. Then, he calmly moved toward Cielene. Grabbing onto her frozen wrist, he warped the both of them to his hidden fortress. "You're throwing your life away! If you give up the crystal, you give up your freedom! Is that what you want?!" ...What did Jesse mean by if she gave up the crystal she gave up her freedom? Is it that she is one with the crystal?... He walked over to his master bed, and laid Cielene upon it, keeping her frozen so he would not have to worry about her running off. For a moment, he gazed upon her, almost lovingly. If she was the key to his revenge on Hyrule and the twilight realm, then his plan was almost ready to be put into action. Zant turned away from her. I have better things to do than stare stupidly at a girl! He warped back into shadow, and unfroze everyone...

"Ha! It's boring up there. I wish there was something better to do, to go on an adventure again! That would be exciting!" Zelda said, something flashing through her eyes. Determination? She suddenly blinked out of her fantasy and looked at Link. "You wanted to ask me something? Well-" She glanced around, seeing people looking. The girl definitely didn't look like their princess. "Let's speak in private, too many spectators, and if there's spectators, there's guards." She whispered, glancing back at Link. She looked over at Mikau. "You can come too if you wish Mikau. I'll explain who I am in 'private'." She said smiling.

Riuny growled baring her dog teeth at Duo. He was staring to piss her off. She looked over and saw Cielene run away from Duo. She had to at least buy time. If Cielene's brother was safe then she wouldn't give up the moon crystal right? She ignored Duo's 'warning'. "I'm sorry, but I can't just stand around and let this happen... no matter how cute you are." Riuny said, running over to Jesse and pulled him back into Castle Town. "Look, we'll get your sister back, but I heard that Zant extremely powerful, if you tried to face him alone, you'd be killed. Only one person was able to defeat him, Midna, maybe you should talk to her about fighting him. But then again, she destroyed the mirror to twilight... you'll have to find another way to see her." Rinuy explained seeing him glare at her for abandoning his sister like that. What choice did she have?! She was a defenseless girl with barely any power up against two powerful sorcerers. She reached over and touched Jesse's nose and other wounds, healing them instantly.

Minda nodded. She looked at the time and sighed. "It is an hour befire the usual time of awakening.... might as well stay up..." She walked back over to the bed and sat down next him, her skirt flowing out on the floor. "There are many preparations we have to consider for the wedding... so we might as well begin planning..." She sighed. What is the use putting it off? What is meant to be, is what's going to happen.

Jesse looked back to where they had disappeared from. "Damn them! I will find a way... Cielene I will not let him control you!" He clenched his fist as his cape swirled behind him. He then looked down. They had his weapons... but he could still fight them with magic. He would not lose her. He looked back to Riuny. "Who is this Minda character? How might she help us? I will do whatever it takes to save her!" He then stopped suddenly. He felt the power... a power he knew too well. Suddenly a light shown from his forehead and flew away from his face. A golden crescent moon appeared as he closed his eyes. She is using the moon crystal... but why?

Duo drummed his fingers on his arms. "Thanks for leaving me behind.." He snicked before melting into the shadows to find Zant. He finally found him He had been thinking lately. "Zant... it is interesting... Jesse spoke of Cielene losing her freedom if you took control of the crystal... I wonder I they are somehow part of each other... Perhaps-" He his mind suddenly went blank as he felt immense power build up from somewhere in the shadow palace. "Such power! Could that be her?!"

Cielene got off the bed and explored the surroundings of the room. To her dismay she couldn't find any route of escape except for the door Zant went through. The room was very nicely furnished however. She walked up to the door and grasped the handle. She screamed as dark energy shot through her veins. She let out a scream and ripped her hand off the handle. She closed her eyes. Such dark power was making her head dizzy. She took a step back and closed her eyes. There is only one... I must.. Jesse please forgive me... She brought her hands in front of her chest. In a clear voice she exclaimed, "Moon... Crystal.... Power!" Suddenly there was an explosion of light that burst from the middle of her hands. The crescent on her forehead began to glow. In between her fingers was the flower shaped moon crystal. The light illuminated every corner of the room with its pure light. She opened her eyes and held of the crystal toward the door. Suddenly a huge white flash magic shot from the crystal making the dooms explode as dark purple magic dissipated.

Jesse nodded, but his mind was on his sister. Surely... she hadn't given up the crystal?! If so... the whole world could be in danger... He looked to Riuny. "We must find this woman soon... my sister has used the Moon Crystal... I'm afraid that if it falls into the wrong hands, things could get very ugly for this world." He cursed Duo for stealing his sword under his breath.
