Silverfeather -- 6/27/01 5:53 PM


Silverfeather nods at the suggestion and begins to walk down the path once more.



E Third -- 6/27/01 6:31 PM


*E third feels tired and starts feeling like an old man.*

Hmm, everybody else is probably tired as well...

*E third lets out a yawn and then speaks.*

I'm sorry to bother all of you, but this old man needs to have a rest. If it wouldn't trouble the rest of you, I know of a place near here that's well-lit and safe from most grues...



Silverfeather -- 6/27/01 6:38 PM


Letting out a sigh, Silverfeather realizes that she could also use some rest.

Well then, let's go! I'm a bit tired as well, and I'm sure we'll all benefit from a break.

She smiles.

I'm particularly relieved to find out that there's a relatively safe place for us to stop. I know I'll rest easier for it...



E Third -- 6/27/01 11:03 PM


*E third chuckles.*

Ah, thank you Silverfeather...

*E third turns to Saria and Z.*

As for you two?



ArrowE -- 6/28/01 10:03 AM


sure, i could use some sleep also...



Zergboy -- 6/28/01 10:50 AM


"I need some rest also. It is almost time for me to shed my skin. Lead the way."



E Third -- 6/28/01 11:15 AM


*E third weakly chuckles again, and slowly moves near to some bushes off the path.*

Well, if that's the case...

*E third moves some of the bushes aside, and it reveals a seemingly very well-kept area. It's very well-lit and there isn't a piece of litter in the whole area. There's several places to sleep under a large tree in the center of the area, complete with large pillows. There's also a fenced off area, with steam rising from the high fence surrounding it. E third looks at the others, and smiles under his hood.*

I hope that this place will meet your needs...



Zergboy -- 6/28/01 11:16 AM


"Ahh...Just perfect...I will shed my skin in those trees."

Z climbes up a tree trunk and begins spinning a cocoon around himself.



Silverfeather -- 6/28/01 11:21 AM


Amazing!

She shakes her head and walks toward the large tree. Once there, Silverfeather flops down on a large pillow and grins.

Nice...



ArrowE -- 6/28/01 1:52 PM


saria dives face first onto one of the pillows, her little rear up in the air as she curls up into a ball (knuckles-style)



E Third -- 6/28/01 2:22 PM


*E third lets the bushes back to where they where, and looks at everybody.*

Hmm, it's about time I relaxed...

*E third hobbles to the fence, and goes behind it. He goes into another boxed off area, and figures that nobody can see or hear him here.*

Ahh, nothing like a bath...

*E third leaves all of clothing in the area, including the hood, and goes off further into another area that has steaming hot water in a hole. E third slowly gets in, and relaxes when he finally does get in.*

It's been a very long time since I was last in my little living area, or in this forest for that matter...

*E third completely relaxes, and becomes oblivious to everything around him.*



E Third -- 6/28/01 6:30 PM


*E third almost falls asleep, but becomes wide awake when some water leaks into his mouth. E third spits out the water, and shakes his head. He continues with his bath, and thinks.*

I can't belive I had them fooled! Although Saria came really close to figuring it out...



Silverfeather -- 6/28/01 6:48 PM


Laying down amidst the pillows, Silverfeather stares up at the green canopy formed by the trees overhead. The sounds of the others are just background noise now. She closes her eyes and sighs, glad to be relaxing for a while. A moment later, she opens her eyes and withdraws a little green feather from her traveling pouch, then stares at it, lost in thought.

*Sometime soon...I'm not completely sure about the moon phases, but I know it's not too far away. Then I'll see you again...*

A peaceful smile crosses her face before she drifts off to sleep.



E Third -- 6/28/01 7:08 PM


*E third gets out of the water, and goes back to the boxed off area to put his clothes back on. He puts on all of his usual clothes, but forgets his hood and cloak. He exits the boxed off area, and makes his way to a pillow himself.*

Ahh, it's been a long time...

*E third lays down on some pillows, and falls asleep as soon as he does.*



ArrowE -- 6/29/01 10:51 AM


saria is awaken by a strange sound off in the distance. not knowing whats it was, she slowly gets up and tries to climb one of the trees for a better veiw. On the way up, she loses her footing and plummets toward the gound. Thinking quick, saria rolls up into a ball, thus lnading safely on the ground and bouncing over to where E is sleeping

Whoa! that was close...

stepping backwards, she trips over E

oof!



E Third -- 6/29/01 4:54 PM


*E third, being a heavy sleeper, sleeps right through everything that just happened, including Saria tripping on him.*



ArrowE -- 6/29/01 7:56 PM


saria slowly gets up, trying to see what she tripped over. with a wave of the hand, the dragons eye sparks to life and floats over.

...E?



E Third -- 6/29/01 11:03 PM


*Even with the glow of the dragon's eye, E third continues to sleep and doesn't look like he will wake up any time soon.*



Zergboy -- 6/30/01 9:18 AM


"What? What is that glow?"

*Z ripps out of his cocoon to see a dragons eye floating near Saria.*

"Saria! What happened?



Silverfeather -- 6/30/01 1:27 PM


Awakened by the commotion, Silverfeather staggers over to the scene of all the action.

Um...what's going on? I was in the middle of a dream...

She squints at her companions, half-awake.



True Kojiro -- 6/30/01 5:47 PM


leaves rattle slightly as kojiro heads down one of the paths of the forest. while he does this, he talks in a near whisper to himsel

"i must hurry. i must return soon to report to master Jeh-no of my mission." kojiro said in one breath

he pushed, trying to increase his speed if possible, but to no avail. He continues on until he runs smack into a beast of unknown size, the moonlight above being blocked by the trees. after the daze of impact went away he jumped back before a claw cut him. he put his hand on the hilt of his sword but made no motion of attack. not knowing what this was, he knew he shouldn't attack. so, turning and starting a run in one action, he moves back the way he came. seeing a light somewhere in the forest, not knowing it was either moonlight or firelight, he manuevered to arrive there



E Third -- 7/1/01 12:03 AM


*E third is still oblivious to everything that's happening, and starts snoring. Now at the center of attention, and very visible with the glow of both the light in the area and the dragon's eye, it's very clear that E third doesn't have his disguise on.*



Silverfeather -- 7/1/01 3:12 PM


After blinking for a few moments, Silverfeather is now a little more awake and aware.

What happened? Why is he snoring? Why does he look different?

She bends over and pokes E third.

Why won't he wake up?



ArrowE -- 7/1/01 7:51 PM


I...I know him...

saria stares for a moment and finally speaks

i met him back at his uncles tea room a long time ago. i wont go into detail, but i snuck back into time with him, his uncle, my cousin Arrow, and Miss Icefall. i ended up causing a paradox in the present, so we all went off on an adventure to try to fix it.



E Third -- 7/1/01 8:57 PM


*E third continues to sleep, and doesn't even move when Silverfeather pokes him. Although he does look like he isn't sleeping soundly, like he's having a really bad dream. Suddenly, he yells very loudly and jumps up into a sitting position. He looks around at everybody, and tries to figure out what's happening.*

Eh? What's happening? Why is everybody staring at me?

*E third continues to think, and remembers that he didn't bother to take his hood and cloak.*

ACK!!! I really screwed up now. This is gonna take a lot of talking...

*E third chuckles and then starts speaking.*

Okay, I bet that everybody wants to know exactly what's going on, huh?



ArrowE -- 7/1/01 9:12 PM


saria stares at E and nods



Zergboy -- 7/2/01 8:34 AM


"What is this?"



True Kojiro -- 7/2/01 2:36 PM


hearing the yell makes him take a mis-step and stumble, falling down with part of whatever the light he was running towards faintly shining on his face. he pushed off the ground, drawing his sword as he spun, and landing on his back, sword pointing at the creature. the creature was gone though, retreating back the way they came. baffled by this, but taking it as luck, he stood up and replaced his sword. looking back to the light, he pondered if he should join whoever was there. he decided to join, it being safer considering the beast he just lost was afraid of the light. He figured he should make himself known before intruding, but decided to look at the scene for a moment before



Silverfeather -- 7/3/01 1:13 PM


Silverfeather raises an eyebrow and waits to hear E third's explanation.

I have to admit, I am a bit confused...



E Third -- 7/3/01 3:52 PM


*E third starts his explanation.*

The reason I was dressed like an old man is because I was following Silverfeather, and I thought that if I just approached her as myself that things might not turn out so well. I figured that she might feel better if she was with an old man that knew the forest well, instead of somebody like me...

*E third stops for a second then continues.*

Although I wasn't quite expecting you to show up Saria, but when you showed up I knew that you would put it all together...

*E third sighs.*

I'm sorry for fooling all of you...



Donivan III -- 7/4/01 9:29 PM


Having fallen asleep, which usually happened unless he was in immediate danger, he was left behind when all of the other spectators had left. For some reason, even though the Assassin had left, the flames surrounding the battle area were still afire. Considering the creatures in this forest, this was quite lucky for the Daeknory. Awakening because of the sounds of two beasts fighting over what he figured food, he looked around to see he was left alone. Pondering what could’ve happened, he stood up from where he had fallen off of his seat and dusted himself off. Not coming up with any logical conclusion, he shrugged off the past and thought about the future. He’d have to get out of the forest to continue on his journey, but this may be hard because of the beasts. He was pretty good at fighting, but who knew what was out there. He decided to rest a little bit more, sitting back down and resting his head on his right paw. Traveling when it was morning would be much better than at night. Hearing the end of another fight beyond the flames, he sighed and brought up his left paw to his chin. He hoped the sun would come out soon or he’d have to brave the forest by himself in darkness



Zergboy -- 7/5/01 11:19 AM


What about this glowing stone?



Silverfeather -- 7/6/01 8:06 PM


After hearing E third's account, Silverfeather shrugs and smiles.

No need to apologize for anything! If you hadn't come along, who knows what would have happened to me. But there's one thing I don't quite get...why would I feel more comfortable with an old man than your true person?

She shakes her head.

Nevermind. That's not an important question.

Taking a deep breath, Silverfeather glances at Saria and Z before looking back to E.

Well...is there any reason we shouldn't go back to bed and get some rest?

She grins.



E Third -- 7/6/01 9:56 PM


*E third looks a bit amazed, and speaks to Silverfeather.*

You mean that you ain't mad at me for fooling you like that?

*E third shakes his head for a moment and lays back onto his pillows.*

Err, never mind. We should all probably get back to sleep...

*E third closes his eyes, and seems to go to sleep almost immediately.*



Silverfeather -- 7/6/01 10:04 PM


Silverfeather raises an eyebrow at E third's abrupt departure back into the land of dreams, then shrugs.

Sounds good to me...

Without further ado, she makes her way back to the pile of pillows where she had been sleeping.



True Kojiro -- 7/6/01 11:00 PM


looking through some of the brush, kojiro sees an area surrounded in eerie flames with a few logs on the gound acting as seats. on one of the logs, he sees a creature he had never seen before. (OOC: i don’t know what anything you people are talking about looks like =() seeing the creature, he puts his hand on the hilt of his sword and slowly moves through the brush and past the flames. stopping a little bit past the flames, he yells over to the creature

"creature! are you friend or foe?" he said aloud while moving a step closer to it. "if you can tell me. you may just only roar. well, make no hostile movements and I will not draw my blade."



Zergboy -- 7/7/01 4:40 PM


*Z takes Silverfeather and E's example and lays down on a bed.*



Donivan III -- 7/8/01 11:02 PM


The Daeknory looks up at the man that just approached him, holding his hand forward in friendship. But not giving him a chance to shake, the Daeknory reaches back and takes out a quill, ink well, and pad, dabbing the quill’s end into the ink. He then rights out a message, it reading some strange characters. Shaking his head, he tears off the page he had been working on, crumpled it up, and shoved it under his cloak. Beginning a new message, writing in the human language, he finished it up and tore it off, putting the supplies back to their rightful place. Handing it to the warrior, he smiled

Hello there. I am Donivan Murkin, a Daeknory. I am sorry I can’t answer you, but I am mute. I mean you no harm though. So, please, relax and have a seat.




E Third -- 7/10/01 8:49 PM


*Quite a while after he fell asleep, E third wakes up again.*

I'm really developing a bad habit of waking up before I have to...

*Hoping that nobody else is awake yet, E third quickly and quietly chants a spell. Holding his hand out, E third finishes the spell and watches as an orb appears in his hand. E third speaks to the orb quietly, trying to not let the others hear.*

Okay, you know the drill...

*The orb emits a soft glow, and an image starts to form.*



Silverfeather -- 7/10/01 9:26 PM


She didn't know if it was the middle of the night or noon, and she didn't really care. Something was crawling up her leg, and that got Silverfeather awake fast. Sitting up quickly, she made a swipe at her leg, managing to brush something quite large and fuzzy off of her and onto the grass. Her eyes wide, she looked down at her arachnid tormentor.

Sheesh...don't do stuff like that! Wake me up...having a nice dream...grrrr...

Frowning, she attempts to get back to sleep but is unable to do so. Slightly out of sorts, she just lies there for a while and thinks, not sure of the time or whether the others are up yet.



E Third -- 7/10/01 9:39 PM


*The orb in E third's hand continues to glow, and flashes brightly when it finally starts doing what he wants it to do. The image of a vampiress briefly appears, and the orb vanishes. E third gets up and stretches, loud cracking sounds come from various parts of E third while he stretches.*



MiraiOtaku -- 7/11/01 1:51 AM


The boy looked around at his surroundings. Only moments ago he had been training with Murasame in the remains of the forest in case Sonic Boom, MasterHIM, or any of the other meglomaniacs decided to attack RI again. But now he was in a strange clearing, obviously further in time, because it had been very early morning before he had passed out. But...where was he now? He had to find someone. Hearing a loud cracking sound, he heads off in its general direction.



E Third -- 7/13/01 12:28 PM


*E third walks around the area a bit, trying to see if there's anybody else that's awake yet.*



Silverfeather -- 7/13/01 5:55 PM


Hearing something akin to movement from another section of the "campsite", Silverfeather sits up and looks around. After a moment, she notices a figure walking around and realizes that it's E third.

Hey, E!

She gets to her feet and walks over to him.

Is anyone else awake? I wasn't sure of the time; I'm not used to the canopy.



E Third 7/13/01 10:08 PM


*E third hears Silverfeather and faces her.*

Ah, good morning Silverfeather! Did you sleep well?

*E third looks around for a moment, then turns back to Silverfeather with a smile.*

I think that we're the only people awake as of yet, but I could be wrong...



MiraiOtaku -- 7/13/01 10:31 PM


the sound of a faint voice from above can be heard, as it progressively gets louder. It eventually gets louder, turning into a yell, but then stops, and is replaced by the sound of leaves rustling, tree branches cracking, and a loud THUD as a boy falls out of the canopy in front of Silverfeather and E Third. He is dressed in rather old looking clothes, with a leather sheath attached to his belt, and a longish katana with a ruby handle in the sheath. The boy gets up and dusts himself off

Stupid dragons...never can trust em as a travel option...

The boy then notices Silverfeather and E Third, and draws his katana in one fluid motion, holding it in a defensive position in case they attack. However, after him studying their faces for several seconds, he drops the sword.

E Third? Silverfeather? the boy laughs How are you guys?



E Third -- 7/13/01 11:49 PM


*E third looks over where he heard everything happening a moment ago, then chuckles.*

Well, nice of you to drop in...



Silverfeather -- 7/16/01 3:50 PM


Silverfeather watches the newly-arrived boy warily.

You seem vaguely familiar.



MiraiOtaku -- 7/16/01 5:42 PM


Vaguely?

the boy laughs

So, what're you guys doin?



E Third -- 7/16/01 6:09 PM


*E third shrugs and speaks.*

We were just talking...
