[[Fine Fine, I'll have a goe at it.]]

In the midst of Hyrule feild Tayl had settled down, deciding to walk along as she led the horse. Today she felt uplifted and less on edge, therfore leaving her aura comforting. She looked back at Max, who was currently making the record of longest sleep on horseback; she chuckled to herself as she watched him twitch as the horse trotted along. Dawn was briming over the wasteland hills and she could see in the far edges of her view the sand that washed over the dead grass. She looked a little more to see a sign that sat perched weakly in the land.

Gerudo Desert: ↑
Lon Lon Ranch: →

She stared at the pathetic sign in the distance and frowned, they hadn't dared come out much have they..?

[[Haha, I was trying to make a sign, nvm, then.]]

"Goddammet...talk about a peice of shit sign."
Tayl's thoughts reached max's slumber pulling him away from his dreams that had already fadded.
Max's eyes opened slowly trying to take in little light at a time.
as he finally focused his eys to the light he sat up wiping a small bit of saliva from the corner of his mouth.
"Someone call the guards u might just have violated a sleeping infringement."
she said at an attempt of humor.
but in actual reality max was preety sure there was a law against sleeping to long now...not that the guards were man enough to enforce it.
max yawned.
he hoped off the horse almost falling but he regained his balance.
"heh, heh, heh i dont sleep much with the kids around."
she gave him a twisted look.
Maximus instantnly realized what was with her look.
"oh no no there not mine i just take care of em."
a mind set like that wasnt lieing.
the sun was beggining to set
Max gave up on explaining.
"The moon is coming up. You should get some rest."
Max whistled a high pitch whistle the horse stopped instantly.
Tayl tugged on the horses reins but it didnt respond instead it laid down.
"whats into you?"
she yelled at the horse.
"I told you your going to get some rest i mean do you think your tribe wants to see you mangled up with cuts and bruises?"
Max dug a small hole with his hands and expanded it about a foot more, he filled the hole with branches and dry leaves. he began to bang two rocks against each other only making feeble sparks.
Max sighed.
He was tempted to simply just light a fire with a simple spell but refrained for he remebered more of the old storys that ladie Agatha said had spoken of.
She spoke of times when Mages used to constantly use magik they would get immencly sick.
and after Max using all that energy to defeat that monster max thought it might be dangerouse.
Tayl sat leaning against the stubbrron horse absalutly miserable with the out come these resent events.
Max sat his back towards tayl working on the hole and in an instant it spraked alive.
Max smiled reasureingly.
he hoped over the fire and leaned against a tree.
"hope you like fried fruits and vegitables."
He chuckeled. and climbed the tree bringing down an asorted mixture of apples and acrons.
he tossed them to the floor.
He hoped into the tree again lost in the branches for only a couple seconds he desended back to the earth with thin long branches.
Max tossed up fruits and juggled three of them at a time.
max smiled knowing this rutine to the second.
as he juggled them he threw one up into the air into the distance, then the second and then finally the third.
"now this is the cool part."
Max began taking a deep breath and held out his index finger showing for her to wait. as the fruite from above started coming back into veiw Maximus threw the branch sticks up into the air and at the same time shot a wave of air from his mouth shooting the sticks up higher with a boost.
the wind not only pushed the sticks higher but it also went way farther slicing the fruits. as the fruit came down the sticks periced them.
they were still several feet in the air.
Max took a leap into the air doing several flips catching the two cobobs, he threw one down towards Tayl at a certain angle perfecting everything. He threw it to wards the hottest part of the fire instantly cooking it. Tayl caught the cobob out of instinct.
and Max landed on his butt criss cross and happly cooking his onw cobob.
Max smaled and panted slightly.
"So i bet this has benn your most interesting dinner ever huh?"
he smiled slightly with a stupid grin on his face.

[[lmao an entire post dedicated to cookingxD lmfao!]]

Tayl was pretty impressed on Max's cooking skills. So far, being able to make a meal at all in the wastelands of this world was an amendable skill. She smiled, catching the Kabob and roasting it in the fire aswell. " I can confidently say it's the most classy." she commented as she took her first bite. An explosion of flavor would best describe this moment because the food had been prepared so well. She covered her mouth with her hand as she chewed and tried to remember when was the last time she ate at all.
"Three days." she commented outloud and she didn't bother to look at Max's confused expression. It wasn't long before she finished her portion, trained warriors eat fast. Jamming the twig in the dirt she leaned on the horse one more, rubbing it's side with a free hand while letting her other rest on her stomach. "Thankyou, that was very good." she said, juat to confirn that she was infact greatful for his kindness.
She stared up at the night sky and started to think to herself, things became silent under the crackling of the fire. Her mind flashed to many places, to the boy and what he may have found by now on his journey, to the Gorons. When they did reach their destination, it was there that she could determine her strength and ability to attack the Fire tribe on her own. She tossed a quick glance to Max, not one he could see. 'would he help me attack them? He'd be useful as a scout from above..' she nearly felt guilty for thinking that.

"What did you have planned, before you met us..?" she asked under a sigh.


[[Bllargh?]]

"eh anytime kabobs-ala-max"
max laughed kindridly.
He sensed her satiscfaction.
Then...
"would he help me attack them? He'd be useful as a scout from above.."
attack? who was them? max felt a small flush of guilt wash over tayl for just a moment. she dropped her thoughts for a moment.
Max made the assumption she'd ask him soooner or later, he dropped it as well.
"What did you have planned, before you met us..?" she asked under a sigh.
"well..." he trailed off for a moment.
am i aloud to tell her? The woman never said i couldnt.
There wasnt exactly an instruction manual with saving the world is there?
he looked down to the floor for just a moment.
she is holding things from me and so would it be a mistake to tell her what i'm really doing? then again if i get really curiouse i could just open my mind perameters a little. Would that be wrong though?
going through a persons mind always gave him an insane feeling of guilt.
i find a resolve in my chaotic mess of thoughts.
i'll tell her what i'm doing so then she will be some what obliged to also tell me. or i hope anyway.
"well?" she pryed
i looked up.
"oh heh,heh, sorry got a little lost in my own thoughts."
She gave me a half hearted smile.
"well you see...theres this Goddess...hinse the wings." max said pointing his thumbs to his extended dark wings. he let his hands fall into his lap and continued.
"And she belives i'm supposed to be some kind of savior of the world.
Real load of crap if u ask me."
i laughed a little and it sounded forced.
I pulled out the small pouch with the necklaces in them and pour them to the floor.
"I'm supposed to find the ones who will come to the sage's throwns..."
i pause.
"i know it sounds crazy, but this is true. and these necklaces i'm supposed to give them to the ones who are next in line..."
max sighed.
the silence that filled the night wa replaced by the crackling fire.he shoved the stick into the ground as Tayl did.
Max coughed.
"So...um...want seconds?"

As the uncompterable silence began to sink in.
Then his guards came up again.
He sensed someone step into his mind perameters.
Max tensed up and tayl noticed, he simply max held his finger up to his lips and mouthed 'dont move'. Max whisped away quickly into the tree he was leaning on if who ever was close noticed Tayl they probably hadnt seen max.
He hid in the tree hidden by the branches and leaves. Max swept his mind across the feild. He immedietly felt Tayl's mind then he hit another mind this one was unfarmilliar, so it wasnt the boy. It was someone else he looked down towards where the mind stood, it was...a fox?
Something was wrong, animals didnt usually disturb his perameters.
Maximus sent his mind foward towards the fox, as he did he felt something odd as if he was reading itno a humans mind it was full of memorys that he was able to dodge and push aside as he looked for what or who it was.
Max closed his eyes trying to reach the closest thought on its mind.
"mmm food, wonder what there doing here..."
Max opened one eye curiousely.
the white fox's mind was one of a humans.
The fox walks over to the fire, not startling Tayl, but just catching her eye, it picked at one of the extra kabobs that stood erect in the ground.
Maximus wasnt convinced, he slowly came down off the tree not making a sound, kept his mind open to any of the fox's thoughts.
But all max could pick up were the thoughts of sataisfaction.
Tayl looked over at me giving an asking expression.
Max had an idea.
He could send his thoughts to her without making it hurt like the queen bitch goddess did.
Max sent his mind ahead leaving a small message in her head.
"It thinks...like...us..."
He opened his eyes and she stared at him with an odd disposition.
Max coughed several times from the cool air.

[[That didn't make much sense, had to read all of it a few times.]]

Tayl stared at the fox, it seemed different from the animals she's seen before. She glanced to Max as the fox began to pick at the food left unattended around them. Max returned her glance with a seldom look as if he was concentratinng on something entirely different, and he closed his eyes. She looked to the fox and thats when a thought hit her, but it was not her own.

"It thinks...like...us..." it was Max's voice.

She looked to Max once more and he just stared at the fox. Outreaching her hand Tayl whispered to the fox. "Hey.." she said soothingly, a tone she'd never really used; "C'mere little fox." the fox stared at her, obviously on it's gaurd. Tayl lowered her hand and the fox jumped into Max's lap.

"It's a bit abnormal." she mumbled. Max nodded but stared at the fox, she thought for a moment and then pushed a thought to the edge of her mind. 'What is it thinking.. Max?'. This would open up a few things. The voice that had not been her own, but Max's; how was he able to do that and could he answer her? Tension filled silence.


[[Dun-dun-Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumpster diving <3.]]

'What is it thinking.. Max?'
Tayl's voice entered my head her mind full of doubt and stupidity for thinking such a thing could work.
She learns fast though.
Maximus smiled as if laughing at an un-spoken joke amongst himself.
He looked down at the fox that lay in his lapp in its eternal slumber.
...
As i stare down into its pure white fur, i slowly slip into its mind like a drop of water slowly decsending into the earths dry lands always going so deep to find the roots of life. I pass through a cornocopia of endless memorys and thousands of emotions and thoughts. i dodge them as if the were cannons being shot at me from a close distance.
"damn... this sure as hell proves this isnt an animal...so many thoughts, so many memorys..." i said to my self as i walk the empty feild of thoughts.
the feild was dark an filled with a fog filled hue of blue.
i was tempted to fly over the fog but couldnt when ever i slip into someones sub conciouse it is as if my entire being is brought as well, but only...my human side.
Bats flew over head screeching there seceret words.
I see a sillouett as i walk towards it the fog seems to dissapate just a little the sillouett also clears it is a boy sitting on a simple chair with his eyes closed he seems to be sleeping. As i approach him his thoughts crash into me,
'they are definatly strong'
'i'll just feed off of them for a while'
'they dont suspect a thing'
but then as if someone picked upa war hammer and slammed it against a my chest a thoughts slammed into me.
'They will lead me to my destination...then...when they have served there purpose...i'll kill them.'
i backed away slowly escapign the stprom of thoughts the fog became thick again. i turned and ran. ran as if my life depended on it.
"out...out...out!"
...
My eyes shot open i was back in my own body,
Tayl stared at me with a look of horror.
I pant fast, and wipe a fresh sheen of sweat from my forhead.
my heart is raceing.
Max looked over at Tayl.
not wanting to tell her all that i heard, felt and saw within that thought of death...
Max thought again back on her question.
to her shes just asked me a question not even a couple seconds ago.
but to me...it feels like its been hours.
i anwser her question in two words.
'...us...dead...'

[[Short, outta thinking things.]]


Tayl stared at him wide eyed for a moment. 'W-what do you mean by that..? What is that little hairball...?' She thought fast, not controlling herself when it came to anger and concern. Could that little hairball actually harm them?

[[Lul, thansk for the comment.]]

'W-what do you mean by that..? What is that little hairball...?'
at that moment tayl bumbarded me with thoughts and emotions running wild through out the area. Max holds the uper part of his nose and closes his eyes channeling out her un-nesicary emotions and thoughts.
'calm down...he's going to be listening to us when...we talk...so if there is anything important u want to say to me just think about it really hard...'
max felt as if he might be belittling her...he didnt want to feel as if she wasnt in control which in all reality she was.
Max lifted the fox off of his lap and layed it next to him.
max relaxed his tense mussules and looked at her with a very calm reassuring face. 'sleep now, we'll deal with this all in the morning. i've slept all day so i'll just keep watch for the night.'
"weither you choose to listen is your choice Tayl."
max said out loud.
the fox's ears twitched at the raised octaves out of the silence.
he closed his eyes and leaned against the trees trunk.

[[Shiiit.]]


'Alright..' Tayl replied in her mind quietly, sitting upright against the horse and staring into the fire. After a few moments there was a slight glaze over her pupils, and her breathing slowed to a barely to a rate that was one to notice. Her muscles relaxed and she fell into the trance she called sleep back in the war.

[[Okay, you have to improvise since I'm on lockdown. Just thought I'd give you something to go on. (In the middle of nowhere~!) Lul.]]

The man patted Tact on the shoulder once more.

"You're lucky I got you out of there, son. The chancellor is pretty quick to decide. Your head would be somewhere in the gutter right about now."

Tact scratched the back of his head, laughing slightly. "Yeah. I guess I owe you one."

The man had light brown skin, accompanied by a white beard. He wore leather pants, boots, and a beige tunice. He was very tall, but of hefty size.

"I guess this is where we part ways. Remember, you're to go to Death Mountain. The Gorons there are expecting you." The man reminded, "Hyrule's been waiting for the one who can use that sword for a while."

Tact nodded. "Yeah... The Master Sword."

They both looked off on the horizon, silent for a moment. Suddenly, Tact turned red and couldn't believe his own stupidity. "I'm so sorry, you prectically saved my life and I never even got your name!"

The man stroked his beard for a moment and finaly said, " You can call me Roy.", and Tact couldn't believe what he heard next, "Roy Harkinian."

Tact's jaw dropped, "Wha--" but when he turned around, Roy had vanished.

"Are... You serious?..."

~~~

Tact continued walking until the sun rose. It was then that he came across a campfire, surrounded by two familiar faces, Tayken and Max.

But something else had caught his eye: Food! Sweet delicious Food! Tact hadn't eaten for almost a day now, and even though it was a cold kabob that had been sitting out he couldn't resist.

He slowly creeped over to the campfire and stretched his hand out.

'ALmost there.." he thought to himself.


Swipe


Tact was now hanging at least a foot off the ground, his shirt hooked on the edge of a bowstaff.

"Eheh... Guess you could be happier to see me.."

Tayl slept in the only way a born solider could; her glassy eyed gaze could only scare those around her. Hours crawled by and no disturbance, only the wind and the birds flying through the shroud of darkness named 'night'. In her state of sleep her mind only streamed strands of thoughts, uncontiously dreaming of lost times when she was a child.
Dawn broke and the dreams faded. Tayl heard nearby movement, and she could already sensed it wasn't Max; who fell asleep on his watch time. Her eyes cleared of the glaze, but only some would notice. She saw a shadowy figure snatch something off the ground; the last kabob.
She stood almost instantly, her staff at hand. She launched herself straight toward the figure with a kick from the heel. Her staff end pointed outward, catching the figure by the collar and lifting him upward from the ground. Her eyes settled and only now did she realize the figure was Tact.

"Eheh... Guess you could be happier to see me.."

She scoffed and puled the staff back, he dropped onto the ground.

"What are you doing here?" she asked annoyed.
