[color=teal]Actually, I don't think so. I never beat Shadow Link on Zelda II, so I thought that it was Sahasrala. Ah well. Your turn, Desbreko.[/color]

[i][color=teal]Vaughn fluttered in front of her, blocking her path. he opened his arms and she ran into them. He wrapped his wings around her and himself, glad to be in the moment. He kissed her deeply, her arms snaking around his neck of their own will.[/i][/color]

[i][color=teal]Vaugh awoke, feeling something in his blood he knew he shouldn't. He walked to the window, staring out across the landscape and letting the wind caress his hair. Then he realized it. his hair had turned silver, and he was GLOWING! He ran inbto the hangar, and walls seemed to just become illusions to let him pass through. He saw what he expected to see. No Firebrand. He had become Vaughn Blaze, a Valkenis being. He felt all of Firebrand's powers, yet all of his emotions about Arianna, within him. He released his wings, which were now colored emerald, and flew lightly out to a small pool. he was surprised to see Arianna there...[/i][/color]

[color=teal]No they cannot. I found that out by making the stupid mistake of wasting 100 rupees and dashing (pressing 'A' releases the bomb and starts its fuse unless you touch it again) and letting the damn thing explode right next to a friggin' Moblin Knight. Question: Who is the first person to say the words 'Master Sword' in the Legend of Zelda series? Hint: I will allow for the first person to say 'Sword of Evil's Bane'.[/color]

[i][color=teal]You get it from the freaky guy in the shaded house,the one with the block puzzle in the basement with twenty rupees each in four treasure chests, a bombable wall with six pots (Could be eight) and a Piece of Heart behind it. Anyways, the guy (or girl, i ain't sure) tells you that Blind had a severe allergy to sunlight, so in Dark World Dungeon #4, you had to rescue a "maiden", go upstairs, and bomb open a hole in the top floor's floor near a window, then lead the "girl" into the pool of light now filtering into the boss room. I just beat that dungeon yesterday for the twentieth time. I beat it as soon as I get the hookshot, I love the Titan's Mitt (Lv. 3 glove) so much! Question: What is the name of the best blade on Legend of Zelda for the NES? Hint: It's not quite what most people who've played Zelda from LttP on would think!

[color=teal][i]Just as Aiden called that out, the imposter was pounded upon by Firebrand's Flare missiles. The imposter turned and ran, it's left shoulder sparking. Vaughn gave Aiden a thumb's up as he and Arianna flew up into the air, realizing that there were no more enemie aside from that one melef. Vaughn saw that Aiden would handle it, and he flew down next to Hitomi and Van.[/i] [b]Vaughn:[/b]King Van! I know of an impenetrable hiding place for you and Hitomi! I shall warp you there with Firebrand's magic! [i]He aimed the warp spell perfectly, enveloping Firebrand, himself, Arianna, Van, and Hitomi. They appeared in the Palace of Souls, in Firebrand's hangar. Vaughn used his telepathy to tell Aiden where the new hiding place was, and took Arianna up to his room. There, she and Vaughn slipped into bed, clutching each other. Arianna traced circles on Vaughn's bare chest, the scars from the arrows still visible.[/i][/color]

[i][color=teal]Fox stood after a while and walked into the cabin, reaching into his pack for a hunk of cheese to munch on. He looked longingly at Ryoko, still asleep on the bed, and his gaze once again fell onto his ring. Unbeknownst to him, Deedlit watched him, tears in her eyes, as she saw the ring on his finger. He was so absorbed in grief that he failed completely to notice her, and he sat in a corner, crying aloud for his mother. He knew very little that she was in the room, calling silently to the son that sat weeping in the corner. He fell asleep in the corner, seeing vague images of his mother in his dreams...[/i][/color]

[i][color=teal]Fox set her down gently inside the cabin, on a straw bed. He sat in a chair and walked outside, calm in the air around him. He smiled as he felt the wolves circling the little hut. Indeed, he'd known they were there the whole time. He, himself, had the spirit of a wolf inside of him. He grimaced as he stared at the werewolf's bite scar on his right wrist. He set onto the ground, engaging in a conversation with the silver wolf. he smiled as the wolf acknowledged him, and then Fox called in a silver wolf of his own, a female named Rain...[/i][/color]

[color=royal blue]There is a balance of powers between good and evil, but every hundred years, the powers of good mysteriously weaken, allowing evil to gain a firm foothold in this, the mortal realm... Once again, the hundred years of peace has passed, and the forces of evil once again have incarnated themselves in the form of he who is most evil. Dracula has arisen again. This time, however, there is only one remaining Belmont, for all the rest were mystriously taken hold of by an illness, an illness caused by the demons of Hell that took hold of their souls. This Belmont, Percival, mysteriously withstood the illness, but not the demons. He is evil, almost as much as Dracula. This happened once before, to Richter Belmont, but there was another to battle Dracula, his own son, Alucard Fahrenheit Tepes. But this time, even Alucard has given in to his father's ways, leaving the forces of good horribly defenseless against the evils of Dracula, Alucard, and Percival. But there is a hope. A youth born to the daughter of he who defeated Dracula in the last battle. Nathan Graves was a hero, though he was not related to the Belmont clan. Now, Nathan's grandson must take up the whip and the holy rune sword Fioris to defeat Dracula. But he cannot do it alone. He must call upon the descendants of other Vampire Hunters who helped the Belmont clan, and still more who never even knew of the legendary family. [b]References to Descendants[/b] Please understand that you cannot be these people, but you can be descendants of them with similar powers/abilities. [b]Grant Danasty-[/b]A thief and pirate that could crawl up walls and on ceilings. He was expert with a knife. [b]Sypha Belnades-[/b]A witch with extraordinary elemental powers. She is the grandmother of Carrie Fernandez. [b]Cornell Wolfheart-[/b]A werewolf with complete control of his transformational properties. He lives forever, unless a wound inflicted by Dracula kills him. He has extraordinary senses of smell, hearing, and sight, as well as great strength. (Taken for play by Dark-eye) [b]Maxim Kishine-[/b]A Hunter with excellent senses and an ability to wield extremely heavy objects, such as magic axes and large swords. [b]Maria Renarde-[/b]A woman with magical animal powers. She could summon any creature to do her will. [b]Eric Lecarde-[/b]A youth skilled with the Alcarde spear, a trident-like lance that could split its end into a tri-pronged blade, effectively tearing its victims apart from inside. Eric has an extremely great jump ability. He has a mysterious connection to Artemis, but that shall be known in a later battle... [b]End Reference[/b] These are the requirements to defeat the lords of evil. My stats will be an example: [b]Name:[/b]Artemis Graves [b]Age:[/b]16 [b]Appearance:[/b]Check the attachment. I finally changed it to something more "Castlevania"! It's not Alucard or Juste Belmont. It's actually the guy in the manga "Half-Moon Vania" who I based Artemis upon. [b]Bio:[/b]Looking just like his grandfather, Artemis has been trained by Nathan himself to wield Fioris and the Hunter whip. He has been chosen to be the one to defeat Dracula, to bring a new name into legend. He needs help, however, for he cannot even breach the castle walls unaided... [b]Weapons:[/b]Hunter Whip, which has the ability to spin around when held aloft for a while, and the Fioris longsword, which is the only blade capable of defeating Count Dracula. In English, it's name is translated to Alaris. Later he will gain the Alcarde Spear. [b]Abilities:[/b]Because of the runic artifacts his grandfather gave him, he bears the abilities to dash for a long while, to slide and attack, to jump between walls and gain height, to double jump, and to tackle. ---------------------------------------------------- Well, that's about it. Percival Belmont is taken, however, by Arikel. So that's that. Have a good time, and Happy Hunting![/color]

[i][color=teal]Fox stared out at the snow-covered landscape he had been running across for the last half-hour. He caught up to the wolf he had been chasing. He knew well enough what lay in the Forest of Time because of his dreams. He did not care for her warning, and he saw the blood draining from Ryoko's side. He brought out a bandage roll, but put it back, placing his hands gently on the wound. He chanted a short spell, using his High-elf blood to focus his healing magiks into the wound. As the bloody gash sealed, Fox stood, carrying Ryoko in his arms. He knew all too well who she was, and he was grateful his quest could finally be fulfilled. His longsleeve shirt ruffled in the wind, and Fox began the walk to the cabin. He walked swiftly and surely, as though the wind, trees, and mud were no obstacles to his booted elven feet. He smiled quite broadly as he felt the clear blood circulating in his veins, in his heart. His grin turned to a frown as he stared at his ring finger, seeing the glinting silver band around it. He knew that it was a ring binding him to his mother, wherever, and WHOever, she was. A single tear fell from his eyes as he walked a little slower. He felt the stiffness of his shoulders, remembering that he had been stupid to not let his wings stretch in three days. No matter what he was, it was strange for a High-elf to have emerald wings, child of destiny that he was. He released his gleaming wings, caressing the air with them. As he neared the cabin, he set Ryoko down, stroking her fur softly. He felt strange emotions within himself as he caressed her body, but he shook them off. He felt the ring binding on his finger again, and he remembered his parents' names, Deedlit and Parn, yet he knew nothing of who they were. He stared at the wolf, not knowing that even now he was falling in love. He walked towards the cabin in silence, picking her up again as he did.[/i][/color]

[i][color=teal]Vaughn set her back down on the window, kissing her as best he could from his position. He heard the explosion rocking the palace and whipped his head around as he finished the kiss. He saw more Zaibachian melefs coming at the palace. With the end of the Feast, Fanalia was once again fair game. He stared longingly into Arianna's eyes, and kissed her once more, whispering softly.[/i] [b]Vaughn:[/b]I love you, Arianna. I will return. [i]He folded his wings back, diving backwards. Arianna stared in awe as a large Valken flew up to catch him. Firebrand again melded its command console to Vaughn's biorythm, and suddenly a large Valken was staring into the window, watching Arianna forlornly as he turned and walked away. Firebrand stopped, tranforming into a dragon with Vaughn at the reigns on its back as it did, just like Escaflowne and Van so long ago. Vaughn turned Firebrand towards the window again and looked into Arianna's eyes. She saw his message clearly, and knew what he was asking. She jumped as he flew under the window, landing on Firebrand in front of Vaughn. He wrapped one arm around her, controlling Firebrand with the other. He kissed her as they flew towards the melef battle, wishing so much that they could be in his bed, holding each other there instead of on the back of a half-living dragon...[/i][/color]

[color=teal]Are you using the Prima or Versus guide? I think it's in the Versus, though I can't be sure. But I'm sorry I said Nintendo Power. I associate all cheat guides to NP for some reason. Anyway, his name is...you'll hate me for this, and this is where I got the idea that the Link saga is a friggin' family with no originality in their naming of children...Link. Big surprise, huh. Here's an easy one to make up for my last poser: What is the name of the Fairy Queen in Link to the Past?[/color]

[color=teal]I never paid attention to any shows on T.V. that didn't involve s*x scenes, violence, or really awesome looking weaponry, so I have NO idea what Big Brother is. I have some vague idea that it's kinda like survivor in one house. Could someone clarify what it is, please?[/color]

[color=teal]Actaully, as long as I don't DIRECTLY describe what they're doing, I can hint at it. BUT, I think I might have to put up Ch. 2 soon. Ah well.[/color]

[color=teal][i]Vaughn floated back up to the window as Aiden walked back inside after setting down. He heard Aiden getting to bed from far away due to his extraordinary hearing. Vaugh sighed, not knowing that Arianna was awake and watching him from the window. He folded his wings once again, plummeting fifty stories.[/i] [b]Arianna:[/b]VAUGHN!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!! [i]Vaughn flared his wings, killing his speed and hovering. He looked upward, tears streaming from his eyes. He flew back up, looked Arianna in the eyes, and revealed his tears to her. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't repress it any longer.[/i] [b]Vaughn:[/b]Arianna, I love you more than anything, anything on Gea or Earth combined. I need you, I want you to be in my arms. But now that I know your heart belongs to someone else, I curse Firebrand for bringing you to me, yet I bless him for remaining my friend. Arianna, if you want me, then jump to me and trust me. If you do not, then go back to your bed and leave me in peace. I love you, and forever on I shall love you.[/i][/color]

[color=teal]They can be found in the Turtle Rock dungeon, at the top of Death Mountain in the Dark World, where you gain the seventh crytstal, infacte, the one that contains Zelda herself AND the mirror shield of that game. My 2nd question: What is the name of Link's uncle in Link to the Past, mentioned only once in the Zelda Guide from Nintendo Power. Hint: It's not that hard. This name is mentioned in every single game, though it's only once connected to Link's uncle.[/color]

[color=teal]Alrighty, since no-one has a question, It's up to me to ask. In Ocarina of Time, there is a sage NOT named after a city or village in Link's Adventure (TLoZ2, for those who don't know). Who is it? Hint: The locations of the cities do NOT in any way show relationships with the locations of their sages in Ocarina.[/color]

[color=teal]*hugs back* Well, thanks. Love you, too. Now, um...why doesn't anybody else post what they think about it? I knew I sucked at poetry and stories. Heh. If I didn't, people would care more and post in this god-forsaken thing. Oh well. *sighs forlornly* I guess I better just stay in the arena, battling until the day I die. I guess I really am stupid with words.[/color]

[i][color=teal]Gene launched the ship well. He never even scratched the paint this time. As they took off, he felt anagging sense of dread that something was wrong. Then he noticed it. They were out of fuel! Gene began yelling at Jim as the ship settled back down slowly, and Gene threw the responsibility of gassing the Outlaw Star up to Jim, and he ran off to the bar. He had to get some stuff from Iris, anway. As he strode in, he saw a strange character downing a bottle of sake. He walked up, wondering what was up. Then he saw the bounty hunter mark on her arm and jumped up, wielding his caster at her.[/i][/color]

[i][color=teal]Merle ran into the garden, looking for Vaughn. When she heard that the problem had been resolved, however, she left Vaughn alone. She'd seen him, crying gently in his room at the palace, a young woman in his bed. She followed him now, watching him stare out the window silently. She heard his tears hit the ground... Vaughn collapsed to the floor, his knees against his chest and his arms around them. He cried openly now, large sobs punctuating his movements. All he could do was cry, for the one person he'd love, had ever loved, and ever would love, belonged to someone else. He stared at Firebrand, once again feeling it as his only friend. He silently cirsed it, though, for bringing Arianna to him. He stood on the window sill, hearing Merle slip away. He prepared to jump. He couldn't take it. He never noticed the footsteps of Arianna silently padding up behind him as he jumped. He folded his wings back, his tears streaming down his cheeks. He whispered softly as the ground raced towards him.[/i] [b]Vaughn:[/b]I love you forever, Arianna...[/color]

[i][color=teal]Vaughn stood, walking over to Arianna when the feasting was slowing down. He took her by the hand, smiling warmly.[/i] [b]Vaughn:[/b]Come, my dearest, and dance with me. [i]He led her to the center of the floor, put his left arm around her waist, and her right arm found itself wound around his neck. He took her left hand in his right, and together they danced well into the night, and everyone that night, if they didn't know Vaughn, would think their ball and that dance floor had been graced with the presence of two mystical angels. Even Van and Hitomi began to question Vaughn's mortality when they saw the way he smiled with Arianna in his arms and the way they danced together. Van sighed, looking at Hitomi and smiling at his angel. Vaughn held on to Arianna that night, hoping it could last forever. They danced until three o' clock in the morning, when Vaughn led Arianna out into the garden, where they stood in each other's arms, waiting for the sun to come up. Vaughn bent down to kiss Arianna....[/i][/color]

[i][color=teal]Arianna fell deep in her memory, a memory of the day she'd left Earth, when Hitomi sat beside her, talking to her. Vaughn talked with Van, though, about the Hesperians and the Palace of Souls.[/i] [b]Van:[/b]So explain it to me again. You are a prince of a forgotten civilization, and you are a warrior of Destiny to help save Gea and the Earth. Damn. Same thing with me, and I had a legendary melef. [b]Vaughn:[/b]Mine is a legendery VALKEN, though. Huge difference. And my mother is the Queen Celestia. And I am deeply in love with the White Angel. [b]Van:[/b]So that's her nickname now. White Angel. She is beautiful, though not so much as Hitomi. [b]Vaughn:[/b]Ha. A man believes that his wife or lover, and her alone, is the most beautiful of all. So it is for me and Arianna. Truly, van, I hope that I can be at her side forever. I love her, though if she has any feelings for me she is shy to show them. Alas, my knightly patience is great, and I would wait eternities for her. [i]Arianna heard every word of what Vaughn had said, and her eyes began to tear up. He loved her, he really did...[/i][/color]

[i][color=teal]Vaughn led Arianna to the Finalian Palace as night fell. He took her into the feasting hall, where all the tables had been pushed away to leave room for dancing. A small line of tables, lined for eating, was against a wall in the back, near the thrones. Van ran over with Hitomi and hugged Vaughn, slapping him on the back.[/i] [b]Van:[/b]Welcome back, Vaughn. You look excruciatingly good tonight. And I see you finally have an escort to this ball. What's her name? [b]Vaughn:[/b]King Van, Queen Hitomi, please welcome Arianna. She's from Earth, so during the feast before the dance I pray lady Hitomi will explain her situation to her. I've been aching to see her comfortable. [b]Hitomi:[/b]Well, Arianna. You are welcome here, and I pray you have a good time. And it's good to see that someone has finally been welcomed into Vaughn's arms. He has been lonely for eighteen years. [b]Arianna:[/b]Thank you. [i]As Vaughn and Arianna walked to the feasting table, he kissed her gently, bringing a memory to her mind...[/i][/color]
