The Legend of Zelda: Renaissance

[Dark Fire 0]

The Gerudo listened to her, and wondered right away what Alicia would do to them if they had succeeded in helping the Gerudo warriors in the temple. Would they be set free for doing a good job, or will she kill them like she would normally intend, since Gerudos seem to be treated as the lowest race, discriminated from Hyrule? She didn't know, but all she knew was that things were going to remain that way if they don't get treated properly. "I'm sure we should check on the boy... if he's standing, then I'm sure that he's doing well..." She spoke, slowly getting up and helped Ulia to her feet as well, and took her to where Vincent was supposed to be.

However, because he was left alone for a while, Vincent had taken his bow and ventured deeper into the temple, trying to search for whatever this treasure was, as well as Ulia if he could. When the Gerudo arrived where he was supposed to be, he wasn't there, and knew that Ulia was sure to be panicing for his disappearance. "Surely he couldn't have wandered far... But which way he took, I don't know..." She spoke, showing the path where she had come from, and another path which she hasn't yet taken. "I guess we're going to have to split up to find him, I'll take the left path, and you head for the right; we'll meet back here with him if we found him." She spoke, unsheathing her blades and rushed down the left hallway, which wasn't were Vincent went.

Ulia jogged down to the right, not wanting to have to waste energy running to fast or carrying her sword. "Vincent!" she shouted, not caring about whatever enemy attention she might attract.

Vincent was already a ways down the hall, though he could hear the yelling of his name as well as footsteps rushing after him. The solid color in his eyes have remained the whole time, and though he thought he was seeing right, his mind was thinking that everything was fine, because he heard the voice to be Ulia's. He slowly turned around and saw her, glad to see that she was in the same condition that he came here in, though his face, for some strange reason, didn't express it. "Ulia, you're fine... that's good. Vincent has a little headache, but he'll be fine as well..." He spoke, strangely in third person, but he didn't seem to notice.

"Ulia needs Vincent to follow her," she played along with a giggle. "You'll have to follow her, right now." She turned around, and held her hand up to her mouth to shout. "Hey! I've got him!" She grabbed Vincent's hand and started jogging towards the Gerudo.

[Dark Fire 0]

Vincent listened to her when she spoke in the same fashion, and his expression didn't change at all even when she grabbed him and pulled him along. "No, Ulia... Vincent cannot go that way, for he needs to find Alicia's supposed trasure... Vincent really needs to help his and Ulia's friends..." He spoke, once more in third person, yet there seemed to be no emotion whatsoever in his voice, hearing her call for the Gerudo. But Ulia's voice was heard by not only the Gerudo, but also two what originally seemed like normal piles of bones, but they soon began to piece together, and there stood two stafos skeleton knights. "Ulia... danger..." He spoke, his bow drawn and ready with an arrow, taking a shot at one of them.

"Just what I wanted!" Ulia cheered coldy, drawing her sword and tripping the other one with a leg-sweep. She finished it by impaling it, but then it struck her. What if these things could shriek? What if they could kill Vincent, like the redeads almost did? She tackled the one that took a shot from Vincent, stood up, and finished it with a curb stomp. "Vincent, the person who Ulia is trying to lead you to has most of the treasure. Ulia and Vincent need her to get what Alicia wants. Vincent needs to follow Ulia. Right. Now."

((Sorry I took so long, technically I shouldn't even be on this computer right now. Don't worry, I'm taking care of that problem.))

[Dark Fire 0]

Vincent, though he listened to her, didn't move too much unless he needed to avoid an attack from one of the stalfos. Fortunately, they didn't exactly screech in the same manner as the redead; they did screech, nonetheless, but not the kind of screech that would stop someone dead in their tracks. Because when one fell, it gave off a screech before falling apart into nothing but bones after suffering enough damage. When Ulia told him to follow her now, he just remained there, staring into the still filled with life eyes of one of the stalfos, even though their body was of no use to them right now. He took his bow and strung it, and shot at it, the arrow penetrating through the skull, and knocked it so it was pinned against the wall.

"Ulia almost left one of the skeletons alive... Besides that, Vincent will follow her to where this person is, who has most of the treasure which he seeks for Alicia..." He spoke, turning so he was facing her, and began to follow her. Although he wasn't aware of it, the poe which was causing him to freak out had literally escaped his mind, along with his emotions, and the right to speak in first person. What happened to them, he may never know, but he didn't seem to bothered by the fact that he could no longer feel any emotions. All he had was a self-consciousness, and instinct between the people who are right and who's wrong.

"Vincent..." Ulia took her sword out of the stalfos and sheathed it, walking towards him. She had noticed his third person narrative, and even though she jokingly played along at first, she knew something was wrong. The way he talked in third person, only speaking pure logic, monotone... it was wrong. She hugged him, and didn't let go. "What did those redeads do to you?"

[Dark Fire 0]

Vincent watched as she walked over to him and hugged him, and though he didn't react at all to it, his eyes seemed tyo remain in a daze; remainling a solid brown. "Vincent... doesn't know; he remembers losing conciousness, then... sees strange halucinations and... a ghost-like figure in his mind... Nothing more besides." He spoke, explaining what he saw, even though his mind didn't tell him to say it. His bow remained in his hand, and though there weren't any enemies of which were of the living dead, his mind didn't seem to care for some reason.

It was then the Gerudo came down the hall, and seeing the piles of bones which were destroyed, she knew they must've fought some stalfos. But her mind was off of that currently, and after looking into Vincent's solid hued eyes, she knew that he was victimized by something. And after hearing how he spoke, his voice sounded as though he had no emotion, when not too long ago, he seemed to be a focused, but also sligthtly ditzy fighter. Now, it seemed as though he couldn't care less about what happened as long as he got what he came here for. "It would seem something got to him, and it wasn't the redeads... The redeads can't take away a person's emotions with one of their screeches; the only thing it can do is seriously harm or kill those who hear it... I've never heard that their screech could steal emotions as well, so it can't be what they did, more like something else when he was unconscious..." She spoke, though she was just guessing and nothing more.

"He said it was a ghost-like thing," Ulia said, turning to her. "Vincent, this is the woman who has pieces of what Alicia wants. We've gotta stick together."

[Dark Fire 0]

The Gerudo listened to Ulia when she said that Vincent said it was a ghost-like thing, and with that, she reached into the bag and this time, she pulled out a quickly-drawn sketch. She showed it to Vincent, before saying, "Would this... be what the ghost looked like?" It was a black-cloaked, hooded figure whose face wasn't seen, and in it's hand was a lantern of sorts. Vincent, though he didn't show any expression whatsoever to show that he knew what it was, in his mind, he recognized it.

"That... is exactly what Vincent saw; that ghost... Vincent thinks... it might've led to him halucinating..." Vincent spoke, his eyes remaining open, remaining solid in color.

"That, Vincent... this ghost, is more properly known as a Poe, and the one that entered your mind, was trying to kill you of a heart attack. Unfortunately, it couldn't if there was no figures to see, so instead, it may have taken your emotions, and knew you might look for it in order to retrieve them once more. But they can't be seen with normal eyes; you need incredibly strong senses in order to fight it, which unfortunately, neither of you nor I possess. Nobody from Hyrule can possibly see them, unless their senses are incredibly strong, or inhumane..." The Gerudo spoke, placing the sketch back in her bag, and Vincent didn't flinch the slightest.

"Vincent's emotions... don't matter much to him right now... What matters to him now, is the safety of his friends, and hence, he needs to get the treasure in order to save his friends who are imprisoned."

"...Very well then, if you should ever need to find them, just remember that you need someone who has some connection with the dead..."

Vincent simply nodded slightly, before backing out of Ulia's hug which she placed on him. "Ulia... she must promise Vincent that, when they return from their task, that she will explain things to them, for Vincent may not be able to himself, probably..." He spoke, holding out his hand before her, waiting for her to shake on it.

[Jo-Bengt 0]

"Sure, Vince, whatever you need," she promised. "We've gotta get moving. The sooner we get this done, the sooner we can leave this hellhole." Ulia walked down the hall, walking the way that Vincent had been walking earlier.

[Dark Fire 0]

Though Vincent was glad that she accepted his promise, he couldn't smile at her; instead, he saw her go down the hallway, and followed her. "Vincent thinks... that a Gerudo may be down this way, for he hears something off, though..." He spoke, and after walking for a moment, he saw that they were at another sandy area, but the paths were more solid and such, and as such, were of no problem to cross without danger. That is, until he, as well as the Gerudo warrior who was with them, noticed something shift in the sand a little. Think that it was one of those wurm creatures, Vincent had his bow ready to shoot at it, yet this sand didn't look like the quicksand they saw earlier.

Instead, however, a small skeltal hand came up, and was soon followed by many others, before each of the other hands rose as well, a spear held in it. They pulled themselves up from the sand, and as the came up, Vincent counted them quickly, and nodded when he got the final result. "Vincent counts thirty small skeletons, which shan't last long to three specially trained warriors... Ulia, the Gerudo, and Vincent himself, should be more than enough to handle this..." He spoke, taking fire at them, and when they got too close, he used his arrows as melee weapons, stabbing them in the skull and pin them to a nearby wall if he could. The Gerudo did her share of fighting as well, using her scimitars and using her arobatics to fight and defeat them.

Ulia jumped and slammed her blade into a line of them, and kicked several more. Their small bodies were so weak and fragile that the kick was a crippling blow. The thought it faster to just kick the rest who came her way.

((Alright, man, we've gotta get through this. I'm loving it, but it's just been us going back and forth for three pages. It's been really awesome, though ))

[Dark Fire 0]

((Yeah, sorry about that; how about we just skip to where they found the remaining parts, and whatever Gerudos they found, which is roughly two days later after traveling through the Burial Grounds? Vincent still speaks in third person, though... And it's your choice if you want to do this; it is your RP after all...))
