Closing the Portal (Event I)

Kira stood there as he watched the man whom life he just saved simply run to help Link with out so much as a thanks "well nice to meet you too" he mumbled to himself as he made his way back to camp " hey so how is everyone holding up, we haven't lost anyone have we, at this rate we will be over run, we need a better base camp. if you all would like we could move to the fortress that i made not too far down the beach, i think that it will do nicely considering im still recovering from using too much magic to create it.. hey but does anyone want a drink its the good stuff" kira said some what relaxed yet still on guard as he offered up a big bottle of booze to everyone

Fia'ye after returning to her feet rushed over to the now collapsed elf, she knelt over him and soon checked his vitals, "Hang in there Ily. You'll be fine." she said in a soothing voice, before she noticed something odd with her. Her mother Lissa had trained her in magic, but she was never really good, not saying that she blew up the training dummies, but had no real refinement to the raw mana that was put into the spell. It was like Nitrogen in living objects, it needed refinement before being used. Yet Fia'ye's ability seemed to refine safely in her limited training, a green aura surrounded Ilyndrathyl's body. She looked at the man with an utterly confused face, "P-Panacea? H-how am I-?" she asked before a sudden surge of emotions rushed over Fia'ye as she remembered someone, her mother Lissa. As she did, her eyes welled up as she both removed the exhaustion and madness, meanwhile, Fia'ye had an injury no amount of magic could heal, she missed both her parents, the guilt was crushing her that she couldn't do anything to save them as they risked, and lost, their lives to save hers. Even in turn she got back to avenge her parents, yet the pain was intolerable. She didn't care if she was openly sobbing in front of the whole army. It was like a deep wound, that couldn't heal, and someone basically pouring all sorts of painful ingredients into the wound. Yet the pain was in a sense more of a longing for her parents back. For the moment all she did, and could do, was remain in a fetal-ish position and sob endlessly.

Meanwhile Tomaru joined the rest of the party by the portal, and speaking to Zak with a rather elegant tone, "I see you're still alive handsome." she said smiling as she looked towards the portal and sighed as her puppies soon returned to where they usually go. Yet she felt uneasy about the portal as she approached, hoping the pirate would follow. As she got to the edge of the portal, Tomtom crouched and looked at it, "There is definitely something dark about this portal..." she mumbled as she looked at it, noticing the spirits and feeling before nodding, "There's a chance it's a necromancy portal, which means it's caster would be near. But I doubt that, it doesn't feel like spirits are being pulled in. Unless it's pumping spirits out... Which is likely, yet it's caster would have to remain close to the portal... Hey Handsome Pirate. What do you think?" she asked making sure that he could hear her words. As if trying to bounce ideas off of him.

Though things were still messy down by the medical tent, as a next to dead Attlas was now in his human form, since his body transformed into something that it could handle the shock better. Though he remained down since he was unconscious. 

((Not gonna lie, the Link bit made me tear up, maybe I'm just a sissy.))

Monsters Released: 15 Moblins (those fatties)

Perhaps this one wasn't as lost a cause as she seemed. The 'handsome' comment lured Zak in, though he wasn't as gullible as he appeared to be at that moment in time. The chick was hot, and his manly senses told him to follow her, so he did. It was a good thing, too, because now she was asking him for an opinion like he was some kind of expert. There was obviously something dark about it, the damn thing was pitch black. He doubted it was all that smart to be standing so close to it, though. The chances of it being a necromancy portal were slim, but it could be a possibility. The thing was huge, though, and he doubted it was the work of one person.

"I definitely think it's dark magic, but I feel like it's being sustained by a united front. I doubt they'd be so dumb as to hand around, and these aren't your typical dark magic puppets. Maybe if we could bombard it with some kind of white magic it would close?" That made sense, didn't it? It did in his mind, though he was totally not a white mage. What was brought about by magic could be taken out by magic, no? His thought process was interupted by the regurgitation of some too-close-for-comfort Moblins, and Zak reacted the only way he knew how to; he threw himself at Tomaru and got the hell out of the way.

Link, in a stupor, managed to hear Kira, and with that he offered a brash shout, "Mommy says no alcohol!" And with that, he remembered he didn't have a mother, his mother was dead, he didn't even know her name or race, and that he had been told about her by a tree. A tree. With that, he was flung into the same boat as Fia'Ye. "Mommy... why'd you have to leave me..." He sniffled and felt Izzy start to work on his arm, screaming in agony. This hadn't happened before.

It wasn't that he was hurt, he would have liked to have literally been 'just exhausted', but it seemed this was not the time for such good luck. Ilyndrathyl appreciated the healing, felt completely rejuvenated, just hated Fia'Ye for what she had just done. He didn't need her assistance (though he was grateful), he didn't need her to cry (though it pained him), and he didn't need any of this (though it would look good in a textbook). He didn't know what to do, he didn't know how to comfort. The only thing he knew how to do was talk and be condescending, tell people what they were doing wrong and force them to fix it. This wasn't going to work in this case, especially not now. There was a Moblin heading right for Fia'Ye, and Ilyndrathyl had no choice but to get to his feet and stop the beast from crushing her skull. He stepped over the redhead and provided a nice landing for the Moblin's spearhead on his blade. He was lucky he was a large man. Using Judgement Bolt once again, the Moblin convulsed and fell in front of him. Without looking toward her, Ilyndrathyl kept his voice cold.

"This is no place to cry, soldier. You could have died."

Isabel paused for a second as her strong maternal instincts kicked into over drive. She held link tightly against her bosom and stroked his hair. "Link there there..." she whispered into his ear "I'm here for you... I'll never leave you. Calm down baby. I'm here. I'm here." she repeated as gently as she could to him. "I'll make the pain go away. I promise."

"no alcohol man that sucks, but why is he getting all worked up" Kira thought to himself as he rummaged around in his bag "here have some of this it's a cream pie its really sweet i think that you'll like it I'm not as good as Zelda but i try." Kira said offering the pie to the crying couple

Attlas shot up, a sudden burst of energy had sparked him to move, as if the beast in him needed him to awake, yet this did a horrid toll on his body. In his movement, his wounds worsened, and his mind returned. With Attlas' mind returning, one thing did, the agonizing pain he was in, he yelped with all the pain built up, before he spoke in a pained tone, "I... Need... Help. This hurts... A lot..." he breathed heavily as his body slowly regenerated.

"So you think it's Dark magic? Well... I've heard crazier... But you might be onto something..." Tomaru said to Zak, with inquiry in her voice. Though she looked at the assassin-looking man, and soon spoke with an assertive tone, which wasn't odd, Tomaru was a very assertive person and quite literally would speak her mind when she wished to do so, "Assassin. The one whom decided to attack one of my shadow beasts. Do you know of any really powerful White Mages?" she asked sharply, adjusting her mask which cloaked all but her eyes, yet she looked at the portal, in a thought she did something weird, since she could see what her beasts see, she sent one of her remaining five in. The hound ran and leaped into the portal, as it's master could see what it does. The rest moved around handling the remaining Moblins.

Fia'ye didn't look up, even as the Moblin bumped her as it died, as if in her own delusion as she still sobbed uncontrollably, in longing for her parents' return. 

"Well, you could have mentioned that when I asked, silly." Indilwen smiled down at Attlas, cocking her head slightly to the left, a certain charm in her voice. It was probably the closest to scolding she could get to. With those words, she gently placed her hands on the kitsune's torso and began to work through a series of deep healing spells, working her white magic just how an elf would be expected to.

Link allowed Isabel to coddle him, quieting his tears as suddenly as they had came when he heard mention something about a cream pie. Heck yea, he wanted pie! The no alcohol thing was totally a joke (and he was hysterical, so he truly wasn't realizing what was coming from himself), and placed a small smile on his face. "I love cream piiieeeee!" His voice was thrilled, his attention momentarily directed away from the hole in his arm and on Kira and his pie. It was the opportune moment for Isabel to heal him.

Being desensitized as he was, as he forced himself to be, Ilyndrathyl did not know how to react to the sobbing woman on the sandy beach. What was he supposed to do, after all? He couldn't comfort her, he wasn't anything to her; if she were Indilwen he would know just what to do. His years of societal deprivation caused him to be awkward and ignorant to most social interactions, other than those when he was in charge or instinct took over. As we all know, instinct is not dictated by conscious thought, so he just stood there and looked at Fia'Ye, watched her cry, and pitied her from the inside. He tried to make his long legs move, but found he was having a terrible time making them move. It wasn't that he didn't want to do something, it was that he found he couldn't do anything. Not without an order, a command, or some direction.

"If anyone thinks of anything different it would be interesting to hear." The dwarf's voice was slightly hushed as he looked thoughtfully toward the portal. Zak, looking toward the front of the beach now, noticed Indilwen working on Attlas. He knew there were at least two on the island, but he didn't want to answer Tomaru. It was rude. He might not have cared about what he did wit his body or the way he tended to wreck people's lives and self esteem, but by golly he was not going to interrupt someone's conversation. He didn't realize his own contradictory nature half the time.

Attlas smiled, soon enough his wounds were healed to the point that death, and that allowed him to soon feel better, his ears flicked a bit before he spoke with now some intensity, "Thank you Ma'am. I guess I owe you one..." he said before rising and flaring his tails a bit smelling the air, getting the scent of Moblins and demon hounds. Yet he saw the dwarf and ran up to him, "'Ey you!" he yelled as he caught up to him and smiled, "What happened up there? I have been down here..." he asked before seeing Fia'ye rise almost zombie-like. She looked defeated in body, but her face and mind was different,

"No more tears Fia'ye... We can't cry here." she said before Reinna came up, resting her head on Fia'ye's shoulder. With a gentle pet, Fia'ye looked at Ily and spoke, with fire in her voice and eyes, "I thank you Ily. And I apologize. My past caught up with me and I had to let it out. I also apologize for inconveniencing you with my... Rather untimely sobbing." She paused, as if thinking. Though soon got back on Reinna, and nodded, hearing something about a white mage was needed, she rode to Zak, remembering the bastard, she made sure he was at Reinna's flank, "Excuse me Pirate Captain. You were saying something about a White mage correct? I'm not too well trained, rather, my teacher is deceased, but I can preform most white magic. What do you need?" she asked, meanwhile Tomaru fell back in shock as to what her hound had seen. It was far more than she projected. Which she was both shocked by, and rather scared by. It was an opening to the Dark World that Gannon was supposedly sealed in, whom the man had raised an army to fight off any country and take over. The beings sent out was just the vanguard, Tomaru rose rapidly, and yelled, in a both orderly manner, but also utterly terrified tone that raised her voice to be like a beast crying out in fear,

"WE NEED TO CLOSE THIS PORTAL NOW!!!" she yelled so all up and down the beach could hear.

Kira made his way over to Link and handed him the pie "Here.. you sure that you don't want any of this" Kira said offering up the bottle once more "just be sure not to over exert yourself... You did loose a fair bit of blood, besides it's best not to tempt fate. " he said to Link in an encouraging yet comedic tone

Indilwen and Ilyndrathyl were drawn from their hazy dazes and both sprinted toward the portal at the sound of Tom's urgency. Indilwen, being faster than her lumbering brother, beat him to it. She was a skilled white mage and felt bad for abandoning Attlas like that, but whatever. Now wasn't the time to dwell on that. "How can we help?" Indilwen asked Tomaru, hoping she could be of assistance.

Zak rolled his eyes at Fia'Ye and assumed his usually demeanor. "I'm not the one who said anything. It was mostly the lovely gerudo woman. But, we assume white magic will close the portal, so we need white mages to try and get her closed down." Zak had the urge to set Reinna on fire, but fought it off. It was probably better for him that way, anyways.

As soon as the words left Zak's mouth, Indilwen approached the portal, clasped her hands, and began to emit a faint white light. Eyes closed, she concentrated on finding a void that could be easily destroyed.

Link graciously took the pie with his free hand and ate a little bit of it, hoping to ignore Isabel working on his arm.

Kira sensed something going on near the portal."I'll be back" Kira said running to the portal to see what was going on.

"Wait what are you doing, i thought that we were only here to stop the monsters from appearing not to destroy the portal. That portal could be the key to finding a way to and from the Twilight realm so that people other than the Twili could go between world's. You can't just destroy it without even trying to find another way of stopping the monsters. And do we even know if all the monsters are appearing from the portal, they might be coming from the temple or somewhere else. And how do we know that destroying the portal won't cause more problems, for all we know destroying the portal could end up destroying the island. We can't just go and rush and end up making a rash decision we need to take precautions and think this through." Kira said panicking

Tomaru watched as more white mages came in, one, an elf with blue hair, and the other, a fighter whom seemed to ride a horse with wings. She smiled under her mask and spoke, "So what we're going to do is combine your abilities with Holy, that should be enough to close the Dark magic's portal. Don't worry about the monsters. I'll handle them personally." her words were calm, and reassuring. As if she knew what to do, she looked around for Zak, hoping he'd come up before Kira said something about not closing the portal, her eyes showed a different Tomaru, one that was scared, but also angered, which showed in her voice, "Child. You have no clue what you are talking about. This portal is not of the Twili. It's leading to a realm in which Gannon is possibly sealed. In said realm is an army, that could very easily take all the countries combined... If we DON'T close this portal now... It'd end us before we knew it." her words more came out calm, as if she were calming a child, which is how the boy presented himself in her kind, gerudo eyes. Soon Tomtom turned to the portal and sighed, raising more of her dark hounds by her side as she prepared for anything.

"Are you ready Ms. Blue Elf?" she asked smiling mildly as she dismounted Reinna, ready to use her newly found abilities. In order to close the porta.

Just as Kira spoke, Ilyndrathyl arrived nearby. Before Tomaru could say a single word, the large elf was all up in Kira's face. He had removed his helmet so his piercing gray eyes could make an effect.

"You will hold your tongue and listen to me carefully. We were sent here to prevent any threats to mankind on this earth. This is a threat. If the Twili become a threat, I will not hesitate to slaughter them all. Understand? If not, you can hop on your bird and leave." Ilyndrathyl's words were carefully articulated and every time he enunciated something that sharply some spittle made its way toward Kira's face. If anything it was only more demeaning. Ilyndrathyl took his responsibilities very seriously. Obviously this was not a Twili portal or there would be Twili coming from it.

Indilwen had already started working. She didn't need permission to go. She hoped Fia'Ye would notice and she wouldn't have to break her concentration. She could feel the portal eating her strength as she tried to close it herself.

Zak snickered at both Tomaru and Ilyndrathyl's scoldings of Kira. He was managing to make light of the situation.

"You fool you can't kill Twili most of them have no form to kill, and even if you could killing off the Twili would be akin to destroying our world as their world is linked to ours much like the Scared Realm and seeing as the Twili are said to power magic and magical artifacts such as the master sword doing that wouldn't be wise. And the Twili evolved from nothing no one knows how they can exist or how they came into being but they did. Besides i didn't say anything about the portal being Twili only that it may hold a key of being able to find a way to the Twilight Realm for mortals. Surely we should at least make sure that there is no other way before going and destroying it, and if we are going to destroy it we need more than White magic, white magic might undo the spell but we would still need to destroy the physical portal, i might be a good idea to have a Blue Mage Arcanist too, after all the portal is basically just a type of teleport spell. But still couldn't we just seal off the island or something, i don't think that anyone could deny that there is history here and much that we could learn, it would be a shame to just destroy it, we need to at least take some quick sketches so that we don't lose everything. And I while I have no loyalty to anyone or anything, i won't stand for slavery, corruption, abuse of power, or genocide and if need be i will go out of my way to prevent and stop them from happening. And i would ask you to watch your tone there is no need to be getting all worked up or violent." Kira said calmly looking right into the man's eyes making sure to stay on his guard

Tomaru glared at both of the people and spoke, her voice, taking a sinister and rather evil tone to the bickering duo, "How about both of you shut the hell up. And do as you have been told, or be fed to a pack of hungry Dark hounds. Either way, listen. The portal is of Dark Magic, an archainist can't do anything here to stop it. Thus white mages are the best option. If you think you know the magic of the Dark Arts, child, then please tell me otherwise." she scolded to the big elf and small boy wondering about the Twili race. It annoyed her since the fool was harassing her it felt. Though she looked back to see the red woman and blue woman working on the portal, she spoke with a confident tone, feeling the dark energies slowly fading away. Tomaru looked at the red woman, whom kept up, but was obviously not trained enough for something like this. Sighing Tomaru kept the hounds en garde as she watched the portal for anything.
