-7 Years of Darkness- IC

-OCC; If you are intrested in joining, we are still looking for a Gerudo. Apply at out other thread, can't miss it-

Acursed merchents.

"Please, good sir," one of the nomad woman with a deep complection, probebly a well to do in the days before the darkness. "I swear you will not find any better deals in my tribe."

"I already told you, I'm intrested in buying any fish," Ithan waved this woman away for maybe the fifth time. "We just can't be having you so close to the city without an escourt."

This was perhaps the third time this month a nomad tribe had come, begging to trade their wares with the gorons of Canyon Cliffs, and for the third time he had been selected to escourt these people to the city gates. They would leave a week later, the city and them both a bit better off, and they would barly be turned out into the lowlands before another group arrived. He'd delt well with the Hylians who called themselves Faroe's Runners, and again with the Jackrabbits, those two people at least knew manners. But the constant hawking of goods even before they reached the city was really starting to get on his nerves.

The group, about 60 Hylians and 4 goron guerds, including one of their precious Acolytes, slowly and methodicaly traversed the stone stairs up the canyon. While their used to be more direct routes to the city, before the Gerudo started to organize, those had to be collapsed to keep the gorons safe. Now, these stairs and ramps on the canyon walls where all they had left.

"Din," he mumbled. "Why did this have to happen?"

Kodald

Kodald sat outside the water on the sand of the riverbank, his feet and lower legs still in the water.

"You really shouldn't be out of the water Kodald"

Kodald turned his gaze to his niece

"And why is that Gezolda?"

"You know that we can't stay out of the water for long Kodald, it's dangerous for us"

Kodald fingered the talisman hanging around his neck and Gezolda sighed

"You always want to be different don't you?"

Kodald just grinned at her and stood up, enjoying the coarse feeling of the sand under his toes

"We can't always follow the rules Gezolda, some of us will be different, even if you do have an enchantment to help you to be more different"

Kodald stared at the far off mountains and wondered how it would be to meet a goron or even a Hylian for that matter...

Lectures.

This was the part he'd hated about the last too groups, and now he had to go sit through yet another one. He understood the logic behind them; Canyon Cliffs coulden't just have every nomad running around willy nilly. No, as a man at arms he knew better then anybody that their where certain rules that had to be followed. He just hated to have to listen to rules that diden't apply to him or his company. The ragtag band of men and woman sat their, listening with a desprate patents to the blathering by their Acolyte. Come to think of it, why had they sent an Acolyte of Nayru on an escourt mission? Their place was in the labs, to not the hot, hard earth.

"And remember, persisly one week from now you will have to leave your queters, by force if nessicery. Sadly, we can not take in every nomad tribe that comes along. Now, you may desperese"

Unrolling himself, Ithan slowly stood up, watching his Brothers do the same. The first two times they actually bothered to listian, but this time it was already old hat. I swear, if I have to listan to that one more time

"Brothers," their Acolyte waved to them as the crowd dispersed form the cave mouth, eagerly removing their extra tents. "Please report to the Main Hall. Big Brother Derok will personally be assigning your next task."

Kodald

Kodald swam as fast as he could along the river, trying to get as much speed out of his body and it's surroundings as he possibly could. A thought crossed his mind and he grinned, he haven't done this since he was a kid. At the same speed he headed down to the riverbed and then swam upwards as fast as he could. He broke the surface and flew up into the air, his laughter of joy seemed to run over the waters before he splashed back into the water, he watched the water above him and with a grin he slowly swam downstream, they did say he should scout up the river and he did, who said he couldn't have a bit of fun while at it?
