Let it begin! (open)

Yami walked through castle town, looking for a tavern or something where she might get a bit of information on the Kurassha, a group of thugs. Or at least, that's what she thought when they killed her parents. However, after doing some research, she actually found that they were rapidly growing in number, and if that number kept going up, they could pose a threat to more than just small villages.

She had the hood of her red cloak on, so her face was hidden in its shadow. She stopped for a while and leaned on a pillar, listening to the conversations of people who were walking past, wondering if there could be some rumors about the gang anywhere. She knew that she had to do something about them, or else the entire kingdom could be in danger. This hunt was no longer about revenge. It was about protecting everybody.

Yami finally left the pillar and began walking down the street, following a group of travelers who had mentioned going to a tavern to grab something to eat. She waited a few minutes after they walked in so they wouldn't think she was following them, then walked in, sitting in a dark corner, her hood still up. She pulled out some papers and began to read through them. She grunted in frustration. "Still nothing! Still not a single lead as to where they are!" she mumbled to herself.

A stranger walks in with a purple elegant cloak on with golden trim the face of the person hidden by the cloak's hood. The stranger takes a seat at a empty table keeping to his or herself.

Tarsus, king of the kingdom of Hyrule, was sitting in the corner of a tavern in town enjoying a drink when 2 familiar people walked in. both he recognised by their cloaks. one was here for information, the other her own devices. tarsus sat and sipped his drink while watching the 2 ladies.

The figure in the purple clock nods to the King letting him know all appears safe.I've seen no signs of danger as of yet.

Yami looked around suspiciously, listening to conversations around her. But nobody spoke any valuable information, and not a word was spoken about any group named Kurassha. Frustrated, she ordered some food from the tavern keeper. "Aren't you a little young to be in a place like this all by yourself?" The man asked skeptically. Yami just titles her hood back just enough that the man would be able to see her eyes. He jumped, and without any further speaking, went to making Yami some food.

Yami sat back down in her corner. She glanced up from her papers as a hooded figure walked into the tavern. Yami made an annoyed face as she recognized the clothing. Great, Yulia is here. Just lovely. Yami thought. She watched Yulia for a bit, then noticed she had nodded. Yami looked in the direction she nodded in, and almost fell out of her chair as she recognized the king immediately. What in the world is he doing here? And without an escort? I know he can take care of himself, but still... Yami thought. She stood up and walked over to the table the king was at. "Sir, what are you doing here?" She asked, sitting down next to him.

Miss I believe you have had to much to drink I'm afraid your mistaken about those at this table perhaps you should go home.She gets to her feet ready to protect the king if needed as the now advisor to the Hyrule Court.

''yulia. it is alright. yami is sheikah.'' tarsus said. ''sit. join me. telm me why you are out tonight.''

Yami sighed. "You know very well what I am doing. Its the same thing I always do. I'm trying to find them. I know they're out there somewhere. But, just like always, I can't find any solid leads as to their whereabouts." Yami said, the frustration in her voice obvious. She wanted so bad to find the info she needed, but at this particular moment, her priorities lie in protecting the king first. She could continue her search later. "But, I should be asking you the same question, sir. What brings you here?" She asked.

Yulia sits back down her eyes turn clearThe group you seek are hidding on death mountian"her eyes goes back to blue as she calms down from her worry thinking there may have to be a battle between her and this other lady.

''there is more to it than that yulia.'' tarsus said. '' she is starting to see the big picture. the main group means nothing if a few survive the culling. as to your inquiry yami, i'm enjoying a drink.'' tarsus smiled, lifting his glass.

Yami smiled. The king always somehow managed to cheer her up, even when she is crazily stressed. "Just don't drink too much this time, sir." She said, laughing a little. She needed a laugh at that moment, and it was amazing that the king could always stay calm even in as hard of times as their current ones.

Temporarily, Yami turned back over to Yulia. "First of all, how do you know their location? Second, how do you know who I am looking for. I never said their name or anything." Yami asked suspiciously.

She smiles.]i]I do not disclose my infomation of how or what I know to anyone but his majesty[/i]

''now, now,'' tarsus said to the girls, patting the air. ''if you two are going to be working together then you must play nice and share.''

Yami sat straight up, shocked. "Wait. I have to work with her? You have got to be kidding me. It took me two years to get this rank, and she becomes my partner in a few days? How can you be sure you can trust her?" Yami asked. She didn't want to be working with some newbie who just happened to show up as many uprisings were happening. But she just pushed all that aside, and directed her thoughts toward Yulia's statement. Death Mountain. How can she know this? I have been searching for that information for years, not finding any clues, and suddenly she shows up and has the answers? It just doesn't make sense... Yami thought.

Yulia keeps silent knowing the one who starts the argument will be the one who falls first.

''Dear Yami, I trust you.'' tarsus replied ''she needs training. and trust. she travels with you. she gets training. BOTH of you return after finishing the mission. you leave tomorrow at dawn.''

The waiter walked over to the table and placed a plate of food on the table in front of Yami. She tossed him a red rupee, then shot him a look. The man flinched and dropped the rupee on the table. "I-it's on the house, ma'am." he said, and Yami grinned and put the rupee back in her pocket as he quickly moved back to the counter. Yami looked around at the other two. "Uh, before you ask any questions, lets just say I have a bit of 'influence' over a few of the locals around here." she said.

When the king mentioned them going on a mission together, Yami stopped eating. "What mission? And shouldn't I train her back here? Training out in the field this early on could be dangerous." Yami asked, knowing that by the way she did her missions, there was a chance Yulia could get killed or wounded.

Don't worry Yami I may need training but I can hold my own. She looks over at her not worried at all.

''You will get your mission tomorrow morning,'' the king replied with a smile. ''Get home and get some sleep. '' he pulled out a purple rupee and placed it on the table, he threw his cloak on and left for home. as he walked he saw some teen-aged girls. seeing them made him think of his own daughter. tomorrow he would start his search. tomorrow he would rebuild his family.

Yami quickly finished eating her food, then stood up. "Come on, we should do what the king says and get some rest. Looks like we have a surprise mission tomorrow." she said. And it looks like I will need to put my search on hold, for now. But the information Yulia gave me was very useful. Maybe I could find them, if I talk to the Gorons up there. Maybe they can help me figure out where they are, Yami thought, before walking out of the tavern. As she left, she heard the tavern keeper heave a sigh of relief, and laughed a little bit.

She turned and walked down the street, realizing that the king was right. It was getting late. The sun had already set, and the moon and stars were illuminating the skies as the ever active Castle Town bustled about with evening work. Yami began her walk back toward the inn where she was currently staying. As she walked, she was right behind the king, and kept an eye on him. It was a habit to make sure he was well protected and that he returned to the castle in safety.

"If it would be alright I would like to explore the town a little if it's alright your highness I only just arrived" She gets up from the table.

when tarsus finally got home, he stripped his cloak off and handed it to a servant. he walked to his room and shut the door behind him. looking at his dresser sadness washed over his face. he picked up a picture of a beautiful woman holding a baby girl. unfortunately it never happened. he had it painted to show a happy mother. next to it sat another painting. this one of his daughter Verisia. he missed her dearly. he stroked the picture of his wife.

'' I'll make sure she is safe my dear. i always do.'' he placed the picture back on the dresser and proceeded to get ready for bed.

Yami walked into the inn and went up to her room. She didn't even bother turning on the lights, she just closed the door, walked over to her bed, and collapsed. She hadn't realized how little sleep she had gotten in the past few weeks. Yay. Another early morning tomorrow. Just once I would like to be able to sleep in. Is that too much to ask? Yami thought to herself as she lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. I wonder what kind of mission he is sending us on tomorrow? It must be pretty important if we are setting out so soon. I wonder where we are going? And just who is this Yulia person? Something's off...she seems...suspicious, kinda gives off bad vibes. Ah well, nothing I can do about that tonight. I ought to get some real sleep for once. And with that, Yami slipped into dreamland.

Yulia finds the gardens as she went threw the city and sat down on a bench and started to play her ocarina making quite a calming tune play threw out the area.
