Tact rolled his eyes and muttered to himself, "Roy told me this might happen.."

He unhooked himself from the staff and dusted himself off. "I'm off to Death Mountains, to awaken the Fire Sage."

An inguisitive look struck Taylken's face.

"The.. King of Hyrule told me to do it after he stopped my execution."

This only gave Tayl more reason to believe he was a liar.

"Believe what you want,' he started, picking up the kabob and biting off a piece, "It's a long story anyway."

After this was said he turned and walked away, sending her a small wave.

"Later."

'Where am i?'
Everything is dark not even my hands are visible.
'hello?' my voice echos in the darkness.
Pry open my eyes, but its just the same not a single spark of light is visible.
i am falling though that i can tell head first i fall downward its peacefull though not reaching the bottom.
"do you like the silence?" a stern elven voice passes through my mind his voice calm and beautiful. never had i heard such a voice full of beauty.
i muster strengh to speek.
'yea i do...how about you? do you like the silence?'
i say, not entiryly hoping for a responce.
"yes i enjoy the silence as well..."
'so whats your story? why are you here?'
the mans voice seemed flow soothingly through my body.
and yet some what distrubing the peace in my sanctuary.
"I sit here in the dark and help guide out the ones who lose them selves in here. i am here becuase i choose to be here."
I smile to myself, the way he anwsered the question was worded to an extent that it reminded him of lady agatha.
'what do you do to pass the time?'
i ask...why i am i making simple conversation to a stranger? is it the silence?
wait...its quite, does that mean the man isnt thinking? or is this place protectig his thoughts? i stop. why does it matter? this is nice to just slowly fall with not a sound or a thought to ruin it all.
"i watch the river of life flow through this world not many can see it...would you like me to tell you what it looks like?"
my heart is calm.
i smile and close my eyes not making a differance of course but as a natural reaction. ' yes...that would be nice.' i manage.
"its one long goden river of pure energy, it strentches farther than anything you could imagine...it shines briliantly in the darkness, those who lose themselves here get drawn in, the rivers beauty is raw power when those who are lost get to close there minds will be taken and eaten alive by the power of the river...its beautiful yes, but still so dangerous."
the picture is painted in my head perfectly as if i am there gazing apon the river, it was so flawless almost as if he had put the picture there in my mind.
'it sounds beautiful...'
"indeed it is...you must return to your side of the world though."
i frown on this idea...the silence is amazing years has it been since i wasnt bothered by ones thoughts. but i knew that it could last.
'i understand, please send me back.'
"i cannot do that, u must open your second set of eyes..."
i open my eyes but all is dark, but as i slowly try to focus my energy into seeing what ever it is i am suppose to see. just then as if the darkness is an illusion light seeps into my eyes i shut them again quickly.
As i open them again i open them completly letting the blaring light shine through...then finally i hit the bottom but feel no pain. i sit up and look around it was stunning the beauty of this river was truly marvalouse...
just then i seem to slowly be fading out.
'wait i do not know your name!' i scream to the man in desperation as thoughts begin to return and pester him.
"i am but a remneant from the early ages of an era where all wasnt dieing. Ore, was my name...i bid you farewell..."
just then as i blink i am torn away from the sancturay of silence then like a stabbing wound in my skull thoughts peirce me, 'That kid sure is a pain in my ass'Tay's thoughts crash into me i am caught of guard with the disgusting taste of dust apon me aswell. My eyes shoot open and i shoot foward on my hands and knees caughing up blood.
finally i stop coughing and i spit what ever blood is left in my mouth to the floor. i wipe the execess blood on my hand and wipe it on my shorts. Taylken comes closer and crouches down putting her hand on my back...
'is he ok?'
...
i sit back on my legs and breathe deeply reconstructing my mind. i look up into the sky taking in fresh air.
"you ok there maximus?"
i smile.
"i think i should be..."
i look to her worried expression.
"so where exactly are we headed?"
i ask with a voice of curiostiy which in reality is me trying to change the subject...

[[What the fuckapanz?]]


"I'm off to Death Mountains, to awaken the Fire Sage."

Tayl clentched her teeth at the mention of the place. As much as she wanted to kill him she knew he really knew nothing of it. She shook her head, turning on her heel and walking back to the dead fire. "Fine then, go." she muttered, she didn't feel like having him around anyway. She sat down at the campfire and started her attempts in bringing the dead flames alive.

"Later."

She felt his presence fade as he left the area, and as left the fire started to burn. She started at it for a moment before she noticed the little fox vigorously working at collecting odd items and dragging them to the fire. She gave a look of question, looking to Max. 'Maybe he could figure out what the things' problem is..' she thought momentarily. At first it looked as if Max was just resting, but taking another look she realized that he seemed to be uncomfortable, anxious in his sleep.
She stood and crouched by his side, curious and worried.
"Max?" she called quietly as she poked at his arm. He seemed to react, throwing himself upward to his hands and knees, coughing violently. As he looked up to the sky she asked, "Are you okay?" but he seemed caught up. Silence formed in the next moment or so, only the fox seemed to be making a noise.

"I think I should be.." came his delayed reply and she seemed to relax.
"..so where exactly are we headed?"

She sensed his desire to change the subject though his tone differed in the matter. She looked to the fox who had stopped moving for a moment and sat staring at them. She felt the thought rise with bitter anger. 'Death Mountain.' She grimiced some while trying to keep a stable face. "Maybe we should head north.. to Kakariko Village.."


[[Nom nom nom.. all ye posts be lazy! >.>' Tay do long post like Maaats. :3]]

Her voice was ridged about the matter of traveling.
I although still dizzy am comferted by her mind. My heart races fast as if it hadnt been beating and is catching up with its self. I get up slowly, picking up my discarded coat and put it on bottoning it so it hides my mouth. "Taylken if we're going to go there i suggest leaveing your hourse, and i'll fly us there."
she didnt like the idea, and the fact that we were going to death mountain made her spine chill. "your hourse will find its way to the lon lon ranch its not so far from here, so it should be fine. and second...i think it would make our travels easyer if we tell each other the mission of our journey."
i stated quickly trying to sound compiled and convincing.
As the air thickend with tention i told my story, from the begining from seeing her and the boy, sasha and ren, the necklaces to the purpose of his traveling.
But for some reason he felt the need to leave out his current expeerence that happend not even 20 minutes ago. I have been leaning down against the tree the entire time. i look up. "hey." i jump into the tree and come back down with an apple in hand, taking a bite i look back at tayl who seems to be absorbing the information. But just then out of random somthing seemed dash into my mind range. Tayl looked at me ready to speak. "Ok you see the thin-" i interrupt. "HEADS UP!" I throw my apple in a fast motion it whizzing past Taylken's head. "what the hell?!" Tayl exclaims more like a statement than a question. I dash ahead of her at a bluring speeds her hairthe only thing that moved back as i pass her. i give the zombie i spin kick to the face knocking it into a tree reducing it to dust. I turn to her. "What the hell is going on here? these things should be aloud out in the sun light right?"
but as i say this more zombies enter the mind radias. "Yo get ready for company this is going to get interesting."
Tayl pulls out her staff." one come from behind Tayl and three other surround her. "why are the surrouding me?" i dash foward quickly front fliping kicking one in the face, i push off of that one punchig another through the gut. Tayl destroys one that stood behind me ready to strike. i grab ahold off her staff and launch my self into anther zombie kicking it to ash.
i land to the floor and bounce upwards to a branch behind me. i pant for a moment. i jump off and stand next to tayl who seemed to just have destroyed as many corpses as i have. but it wasnt over at that moment about 30 zombies surround us, but with heaver armor. A some what hidden anger begins to dwell within me horrid memorys of a time when i was lost in the feilds moblins ambushed me i had been helpless.
But not now this time had been different.
Tayl's mind was screaming.
"this isnt in the scriptures! we cant hold on much longer! this is all going to hell!" but my mind was crisp with energy being built up emotions accumulating. I turn to Taylken, as the zombies begin to slowly close in on us.
she looks at me with a look of confusion she drops her stance. the noice and roars of the zombies raise seavral octaves. I look into her eyes reassuring her. "HOLD ON TIGHT!" I yell at her trying to be heard over the chaos.
then i grab her tightly into a hug also wrapping my wings around the both of us. Then as our bodys become cacooned her thoughts engulf mine and mine interwive hers. I struggle a single thought out all blocking out all others blockign out the roaring the noise and finally the word surfaces.
"Silence." The word becomes alive, an invisible wave of energy shoots outward away from the cacoon. As the burst of enrgy ends i feel drained of energy. I un-wrap my wings, but it was all as if the day had turned to nothing. All that was left was dust everywhere surrounding them. As i step back from her letting her free of my grip, she seemd shocked at me for so many things for my to close hold on her slender body, for what had just accurd between our minds, and what astonished and confused her the most was how i did that...but my eyes seemed to fade out. I fall to the floor feeling drained of a strong portion of energy. as i lay on the floor the ash seems to hang in the air but slowly fades out not a zombie was left in sight.
As i lay there on the floor tears roll down my face for what ever reason i was not aware of i felt n pain nor did i have any flesh wounds. Above me i see a single white rose hanging from a tree. The voice from the place where the river of life flowns voice carried itself into my mind i close my eyes. to listen;
"The rose is more beautiful with the thorns still attached." the mans mind fades, leaving ever lasting oh so beautiful.
Silence.



[[om nom nom! max like long posts!! *twitch smokes sig* i blame tay for long post xD lol max needed action!!! max also like ending^^ lol i sound like a cave man lol]]

[[You gotta keep 'em seperated. :3]]

With the sudden rise of the Zombies, Tayl could only find herself confused. All the questions she wished to ask could only be wasted breath e at this moment. She readied her staff as the first wave hit; it was only seconds before remains started falling back as Max and Tayl fought their equal share. Only seconds passed as the second and third wave hit. Though she doubted their chances of winning she pushed onward with the army of two. In the midst of disabling two with one hit she felt a third presnece, even spotted another that was not of the Zombies. A boy that seemed to slip through into the fight.
'We can't hold out much longer!' her mind screamed, zombies closing in on them. She turned to Max, a look of confusion and plea on her face. Suddenly Max grabbed her and shielded their jumbled form with his wings. Something that escaped her happened and the only way she could tell is the silence. The word and the meaning hung over them where they stood and when Max dropped his hold and stumbled back she was shocked. She watched him linger in stance and collapse, she caught him and tried to hold him up, only to see a tear roll down his face.

"Max..?" she mumbled. She placed him on the ground gently and looked around. No zombies, in fact, there was nothing at all. It had then crossed her mind of the boy who was fighting with them. "Fox..?" she mumbled, realizing neither of them were around. "Dear goddesses.. what the hell is going on here..?" she shook her head then.


[[Meh, not a long post, not one that makes sense... Jesus Roxas, that post makes my head hurt...]]

[[roxas love you but i'm going to um completely ignore your post xD]]
(btw in this post maximus's shirt was torn up alot b/c of the fighting.)
Talken looks flustered, but i disreguard it, i sit up everything numb i cant feel a thing.
"we should get moving before those damned armered zombies come back and i sure you they'll be more prepared."
i stand up with out a problem.
"WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?! LAY BACK DOWN!"
she yelled at me, thats the first time shes ever raised her voice at me.
i whip around my head.
"huh?"
I look at her she is red with rage. she gets up and puts her hand on my bare shoulder she spun me. "You are going to rest your all battered up! no way in hell i'm letting you even think about walking!"
I stare in dumbfounding aw.
i give a long exgasperated sigh. "fine."
she seemd to relax. "good n-"
i interupt, "after we get to death mountain."
she starts up again upset. "No! Lay back down!"
I was determined to get to death mountain, the boy or rather the one that possesed the boy had plots of terrible things happening in the future.
it seemed the boy wasnt involved in this scheme he seemed well...he seemed like me,but more human. the other..the other was scary like dust had been spread across the boys mind putting the saharrah to shame...
"Heelllooo!" i look up reality hitting me like a rock.
"huh? what?"
"way to space out maximus! Jeez!"
i just lay down in defualt as Taylken commanded.
"yea yea, whatever... keeps you calm." i said in a drone type voice.
"hmph...good now stay still."

Note to self;

No spaceing out around this one.

i laugh silently at my own joke.
