Water (Kotone)

[Seayn]

Seayn had made a large mistake. A very large mistake. The poor boy had decided to explore the desert yet he hadn't the slightest idea of where he was going nor the intricacies of such a dangerous journey. He had failed to pack appropriate provisions and he was wearing his shining armor. He could practically feel himself roasting alive in this armor yet he didn't want to live himself exposed to the dangers that might lurk around here. He really should have thought this through better. He didn't bring any companions either, which was also unintelligent on any journey yet he hadn't found anyone he trusted with his life yet.

Seayn had managed to down the majority of his water too quickly. He had been constantly moving through the desert in what he hoped was a straight line. He had eventually seen a large structure in the distance and usually if there was something people built in a desert, it was going to be close to precious fluids. He had tromped, his head tilted forward to stare at the sand that was ridiculously hot and had made walking in this large metal oven nearly unbearable. Quite a bit of sand had managed to seep through the joints of his armor, making them difficult to move and burning him at the same time. He struggled to walk, collapsing to his knees close to what appeared to be some kind of castle. "Water." He croaked even though he doubted that anyone could hear him.

[Kotone]

The guard saw the guy and said nothing only went to tell Kotone of what was coming. AS Kotone came she looked down the wall and there it was a human male dumb as he can be. In heavy armor begging for water in a desert. She looked at the guy for some time as the heat was bad and all but she was kind of use to it. She was after all born in this desert people called unlivable. She went on watching for some time not really doing anything but watch. After some time one of the guards asked Kotone what she going to do.

Kotone just gesture she was watching the guy die. Its not like she was going to let him in the fort as no outsiders aloud. Even if he was a royal person she would not care one bit unless Merik told her too. However the more she watched the more it was eating at her to see someone dying from thirst. She sighed after a bit as she could not stand to watch anymore. she pulled out her flute and sat on the wall of the fortress and started to play a song. The sound was lovely but it seem odd at the same time. As in after of mins a storm came in and started to rain and pour in the area.

[Seayn]

Seayn let out a thankful sigh as he fell to the ground along with the water that began to pour out of the sky. He could swear that he heard the hiss of steam as the rain poured on to him. He let out a sigh, knowing that it was a blessing to suddenly have a storm out in the desert. He shifted to a sitting position rather than a kneeling one, he opened his mouth to allow the moisture to accumulate in his mouth. He eventually fell on to his back, allowing the water to pour over himself, gulping all of it that landed in mouth down greedily. After a while he stood up, feeling quite refreshed. He floundered around on the sand, the shifting of the ground making it quite difficult for him to stand without tumbling back down. He eventually managed to get his feet underneath himself, which he then used to struggle towards the structure.

Seayn looked around, his eyes searching the walls of stone. He could only think of a few races that would be hardy enough to live in the depths of this harsh desert. The Gerudo and Goron were both rather tough races that loved heat. Gorons were more used to tunneling into the ground, warmth coming from liquid fire that they found down there that allowed their smiths to make incredible things. He had to assume that the fortress belonged to Gerudo, the all female bandits and warriors that had a reputation for being unkind. He walked boldly up to the gate, feeling foolish for giving out in the heat of the desert before what was probably a build full of women.

[Kotone]

The women watched as the rain pour in to the rain collectors around the fortress. Thanks to Kotone their race really did not have to worry about water anymore. She was lucky to found the song that give life to the desert like this. However like all things she can't use it to often do to the fact it drys out the air after words and it take time for water to get back in the air after that. However Kotone did not stop playing she kept playing as lighting started up and started to strike around the place. Mostly trying to hit the man that coming to the fortress.

The women head inside away form the lighting where it was safe. Kotone stay out playing her song and getting wet from it. The rain turn in to a flash flood for the desert which is bad. Well not got her since she up on a wall of a fortress but anyone on the desert floor yes it is bad.

[Seayn]

Seayn could only wonder what kind of cruel trick it was to grant him water and then try to strike him down with lightning. He could only imagine that a goddess up in the skies was playing with him. Little did it matter to him. He cast Bulwark upon himself, indicated only by a slight distortion of the air. He frowned, wondering why no one was coming to greet him. It wasn't expected that they would know that he was an important person but he had hoped they would show decent courtesy and let him in.

He drew Excalipur, reaching forward to tap the edge of it against the stone. At that moment, the lightning finally did strike him, slamming into the shield that surrounded him. From the ungodly noise and unbearable heat, for a moment Seayn thought he was going to die. Yet even the lightning found it difficult to penetrate his shield, though it did manage to destroy it. The young man shook his head, waiting for the ringing in his ears to stop.

[Kotone]

Gerudo were only loyal to their kind really. the world hated them so they hated back. Heck Princess Zelda was not fond of their kind at all due to the legends and well the old king trying to take over the place. However that was already passed and she should know the gerudo did not care for the old king they were trick or rather force to work with him so long ago. They were branded thieves and bad people not able to leave the desert area. Of course they steal it was the only way to live if you live in a dust bowl like this. Even after Merik show they was no harm they still don't forgive their race.

Kotone was startle as the man came close to the wall only to get struck by lighting. She watch as he got hit by it. She stop playing the song as she started to laugh. Of course being mute there was no sound coming from her mouth but still it was funny to her. As she stop playing the storm started to clear up right away like it was never thought in the sky. Kotone laugh so hard she drop her flute down the wall which made her stop laughing. She jump down after it as there was no way she was going to lose her flute it meant to much to her.

[Seayn]

Seayn could feel that his entire body was tingling. While he had managed to deflect most of the force of the blow, he hadn't been able to deflect the sound or a bit of a charge. He couldn't hear anything yet the flute falling was an indication that something different was happening. He saw it displace a small amount of sand, an oddity among the rain that had begun to pour from the sky. It didn't seem to be very impressive. A shoddy reed flute if he ever had seen one. He began to approach it, only to find something more interesting coming down from the sky. A gerudo landed in front of him, one of the practically mythical red-headed, dark skinned beauties of the desert... and notorious thieves and bandits.

Seayn thought about drawing his sword but felt like that wasn't a good idea since he had just been struck by lightning. He began to form words but being unable to hear at the moment, frowned, unsure of whether or not he was speaking properly. So he settled with pointing to his ear and mouthing "I can't hear right now." He shook his head, hoping to somehow fix what was wrong with himself. He could only wonder what the intentions of this female were yet he didn't expect her to try something against a fully armed opponent.

[Kotone]

Kotone land softly on the sand as she reach down and pulled her flute out of the sand. She went looking at it making sure it was not damage at all. Kotone was not really arm besides a small dagger on her hip. Her main weapon was still up on the wall. She put her lips on the flute as she blew getting the sand out and playing a small song. Nothing big or anything just the sound of the desert in her mind. It something that all people knew if they lived in the desert as they hear it even thought they don't know why.

As she stop she looked over and see the man as she looked at him with cold eyes as he did some gestures. She pointed to her mind then did a jester for something tinny then pointed to him. Yes she was calling him an idiot. AS she did that Guards came out along the walls all with their weapons out and bows getting ready to be draw out too. All aiming at the stranger since Kotone was out there. For a male to comes to these lands is an idiot no matter what.

[Seayn]

Seayn paused for a moment as the woman put the flute to her lips, although he could not hear what she was playing. He arched his eyebrow questioningly before she made some weird face at him then did a strange jig. Gerudo were weird. It was just his like to have to deal with the oddest race in the land. He let out a sigh, which sounded to him as if it was drowned out by bells and muffled by some cotton in his ears. The young man did take small note of the women lining the walls, holding weapons in a hostile manner. Seayn knew that he was able to take a beating but he would rather avoid it if he could. He looked around at the Gerudo, grinning brightly, to show that he didn't fear them but also to show that he didn't mean any harm.

The Warden did put his hand upon his sword though, his eyes searching the woman closest to him. He could tell that she was of some importance apparently since they all seemed to be protecting her... or it could be a coincidence and they were going to kill him regardless. He swept his white cape back as he bowed to the woman, assuming that it would be unintelligent to attempt to take her hand as he had seen certain men at court do. He did his best attempt at a disarming grin, his eyes scanning the walls to see if the guards were going to attack.

[Kotone]

Kotone blinks at the guy before laughing of course her laugh was quite really no sound from it. Even her laughs were mute. The guards looked on making sure to wait for Kotone say so or if the guy does something. They were all ready to shoot seeing how his hand was on his sword and all. However main reason why Kotone was laughing was the idiot guy was bowing at her. Well it was a good thing he did not take her hand like most of the other races would do in their ways. As if he did he be flips on the ground with maybe a sword in his throat or close to it.

She nods to the guy as she looked at the women on the wall as she waved her hand and jester some things to them. They nodded back and looked to the guy not knowing he could not hear due to the lighting. "If you wish to live and not be taking in to slavery either give up your sword and walk away from here never to return. If you do not do this you be taken in to slavery" The gerudo women said to him as Kotone nods as Kotone gave him a choice.

[Seayn]

Seayn frowned at the laughing woman, trying to stay focused even through such an oddity. He was trying to avoid getting too distracted by her feminine looks. The short red hair was odd, but other than that, she was the picture of a voluptuous red haired vixen of the desert. He remembered a dream like this he had once had... there had been less weapons then though. He couldn't quite hear her laughing, the ringing in his ears too loud still. Seayn simply shook his head, chuckling to himself, wondering if they had seen him be struck by lightning or if they were just here to deal with an intruder. He considered for a moment whether or not he should draw his sword, then began to wonder why in the world he would do that. He was acting as if it was actually useful.

Seayn looked between the gesturing woman and the woman she was making the motions at. He frowned for a moment as they tried to speak to him. "I'm sorry, I can't quite hear you. Strike by lightning you know. Really loud." His words sounded strange as he tried to feel each word with his tongue as a replacement for hearing them. He snorted for a moment, wondering if he should take a few steps back or forward. Or, more importantly, if he should be strapping his shield to his arm in preparation for combat.

[Kotone]

Kotone sighed at this as the guy was now deaf and dumb now. She did not see a point of keeping him around now. They can kill him and get his stuff or cage him and get money. She started to walk to the wall as she was really thinking of killing the guy. However the shield and all show he had something or know someone with power. The chances of killing him and someone looking for him might be high. She hate to get Merik in trouble for a dumb action.

She gesture to the women to get ready to capture the guy. No killing as they were going to sell him back to his people. With that they lower a rope for her as Kotone headed to it to climb back up the wall as she put the flute in her back pocket.

[Seayn]

Seayn didn't like this one bit. This woman didn't seem concerned with him at all. She might just think he was some helpless human that couldn't handle himself around Gerudo but he could assure her that was quite wrong. He decided that this wasn't quite playing out like he felt it should. He swung his shield on to his arm, watching the rope descend from the fortress wall before also drawing his sword. He didn't plan on letting her get away when it seemed she was the ringleader. She would be much more useful down here with him rather than directing the attack from the top of the wall.

Seayn approached her, unsure of how to go about this. He wasn't going to attack her, especially not from behind. He clapped his sword blade against his shield, assuming that the young woman would hear it. He didn't seem to bother keeping his shield at the ready for potential attacks that his opponents might throw at him, all of his focus on the woman trying to scale the wall.

[Kotone]

The Gerudo women yelled at Kotone as she turn her head to see the man coming up on her. Her eyes glares at him with great force even if she as unarmed and her arms up on the wall of the fortress she could still handle herself in battle. However after the glare she went to grab the rope and climb up it as this guy was still a softly as it best just to capture this guy and sell him off to this own people for reward money.

The women on the wall yelled at the man to stay back. Soon after they shot their arrows at him trying to get him hurt or pushed back away from Kotone. Kotone was no scared of any of the arrows hitting her as she train most of them. Their skills were good plus its not like she had not train herself to dodge attacks.

[Seayn]

Seayn took offense to this! Not only did she dismiss him as if he was no import but now there were arrows flying down here! They weren't exactly aimed at him but that was beside the point! The young man charged forward, sliding his sword in its scabbard as he went, a few of the arrows tinking off of his armor, not a sure-proof defense but one that would hold for the moment at least. He wasn't going to let the Gerudo woman leave, especially since she seemed to be the one that would be most useful to keep close to himself.

Seayn knew he wasn't the strongest individual but there was something he did have that none of these Gerudo were likely to be able to counteract very well. He reached forward, grabbing at the female, not afraid of any counterattacks due to his heavy armor and the close vicinity to this woman making it much more difficult to aim arrows directly at him. He also grabbed hold of the rope jerking on it to make it more difficult to keep a good handhold.
