Sard laughed at he led her around the inn, increasing in speed as it did until they were twirling around at an almost ridiculous speed. He near fell once-- then twice, but always regained himself. He knew this would be easier if he had human feet instead of hooves and was being very careful not to step on his guest, this was why he fell.

He was laughing as he shook his bangs from his eyes and looked up at her, "Yes, I'm fine, are you all right?" He sat up slowly, supporting her as he did. He stood slowly and raised her by the elbows when he noticed a cynical laughter coming from the stage. He glared toward it and saw Kane laying on the stage, lute next to him, holding his stomach and laughing. Sard crossed his arms and kept his icy gaze of the man for a few minutes until the laughing ceased. Kane looked up and shook his head, "Sorry, sorry."
"Are you finished?" Sard tapped his hoof.
"Yes, yes!" Kane wiped tears from his eyes and stood, taking his lute and resting it carefully on the stool, "I just looked up n' the two of ye weren't there anymore." He chuckled.

Sard bowed slightly, "Any time, miss, it was truly a pleasure!" He smiled up at her and made his way to the bar to clean up for the night.
"Pleasure be mine as well," said Kane as he jumped from the stage, landing close to the bar before turning and bowing deeply to her, "I'm going to retire for the night." Kane left exited through a door near the stage. Sard waved to him and looked up to his guest, "I had fun."

"I could let you stay the night for free tonight for showing me such a lovely time." He smiled and offered her a little bronze key. He had finished cleaning the bar and was about to head to bed himself soon. He yawned and stretched his arms over his head before looking around one last time to take sure that he got everything.

"I really don't mind at all... I have room for more guests and don't feel like opening the register." He yawned again, smiling, "I am also off to bed soon and don't want to worry about you sleeping outdoors." He laughed and leaned heavily against the bar, eying her from under the sheet of shimmering bangs the hung in his face.

He winked back and dropped the key into her hand before heading into the same door that Kane had. He turned at the last second and waved to her before blowing out the torch next to the door. He went to his room and plopped heavily onto his bed before removing his loin cloth and rolling onto his side. It had been a very fun, very tiring day and he was ready to get a good night's sleep. Still feeling as if he was dancing, his eyes closed and he slowly drifted to sleep.

((I'll let Euphoria and Link finish up before doing anything else... I need a break anyway-- need to do some school work this afternoon.))

Link smiled gently and looked at Euphoria in the corner of his eye, placing his hand upon hers, but he put it back when she touched his jaw, blushing a little, he soon regained his posture and confidence. "Have you heard of the kingdom of Hyrule, Euphoria?" Link asked her, smiling confidently, "it is my homeland, a beautiful, lush and green place, touched by the very goddesses who created it and watch over us. I live in a small village called Ordon, along with my friends and those I consider my own family, my old job was being a rancher and taking care of all the animals. It was such a fun and fulfilling job, yet one day, everything changed for everyone in Hyrule, including me, I was knocked unconscious as monsters kidnapped all the village children and almost killed my best friend, Rusl..."

"When I awoke, I was alone, so I ran as fast as I could across the bridge that led me into Faron Woods, a forest near our village, only to be stopped by a giant wall of Twilight, the result of darkness overcoming the light world. I was grabbed by a strange, horrible creature called a Shadow Beast, and was dragged into the Twilight, but, to my surprise, the Triforce mark in my hand, that I thought was nothing, flashed brightly, scaring the beast away. The Twilight then began to have an effect on me, I could feel my whole body changing in shape and form, and with a loud shout, I transformed into a beast myself, a... wolf you could call me. I lost consciousness again and when I awoke once more, I was in a dungeon, a chain attached to my leg, I couldn't break free, no matter what I did, but, I heard a sound and turned toward it."

"There, outside the dungeon bars, was my current friend, Midna, who helped me escape and start the journey to restore light to the many areas of Hyrule, when Faron Woods was normal again, I turned back to normal. Only, this time, I had become the 'Hero of Time' as told by the spirit of the forest, I was wearing the clothes you see on my person, the garb of the hero, and I was told that it was now my responsibility to save Hyrule from the evil trying to consume it..." He broke free from his story telling trance and yawned, he chuckled lightly.

"It would take me all night to explain everything in detail Euphoria, I'll continue it tomorrow if you wish" he had a feeling she was sleepy, or that she wouldn't believe much of his story, no one really would at first. He helped her climb back into her room and joined her inside it as well, helping her sit on the bed and he sat down next to her, he was still waiting for her answer.

/I might not be here for a while because I've got some finals this week and through out the whole month but I'll try to drop in every once in a while. ^--^/

(I'm so sorry for disappearing, guys.. My life exploded and bad things happened, but they're working themselves out now. -postpost)

Euphoria listened intently to Link, leaning slightly towards him ask he illustrated his long, but so interesting tale. Her eyes sparkled at the stories of his many battles and journeys, expresions changing from deep thought, to shock, to empathy or concern. After Link finished speaking and brought her to bed, sitting beside her, she looked upto him.

"I've never been to Hyrule.. But it sounds so interesting!" She leaned gently against Link and placed her hand over his, murmuring softly, "I'd love to hear your whole story. I don't mind if you'd like to tell, but if you want to sleep, it's acceptable." Euphoria chuckled softly and waited for his response.

"Are you kidding? I don't need sleep, I sometimes go for days without sleep, I'm a master of sleep deprivation!" He was just joking though, he was pretty tired, that battle took more out of him than he thought. He chuckled weakly, holding onto Euphoria's hand gently, he looked at her and smiled slightly, "I'm sorry Euphoria, just can't stay up for much longer... but I promise to tell you the rest of my tale tomorrow, during breakfast." He gave her a kiss on the cheek then gave her a gentle hug, "if you want me to, I'll stay with you tonight, or I could just sleep outside, like I did most of the time on my adventure." He let her go and looked into her eyes, waiting for an answer.

Euphoria laughed softly at Link's joke, and blushed when he kissed her cheek. There was no way that she'd let him sleep outside. The woman smiled and leaned close to Link, her lips softly brushing his before she leaned back to speak to him. "I'd like it if you spent the night up here with me, I think.. And I cannot wait to hear the rest of your tale in the morning.. You're so interesting!" Her eyes were slightly lit up, and it was obvious that she was incredibly into his story.

Euphoria got up off of the bed and removed her dress in a swift motion, revealing a nighty that covered her well on top, and fell down just above her knees; it was black, just like her dress. Euphoria then returned to the bed and climbed in, patting the bed next to her and waiting for her new pal to join her for a nice long sleep.

A rather tall young looking women walks in to the inn followed by a black wolf as she lowers the hood of her cloak you can tell she is elven. she has long hair the color of fire and green eyes with silver flecks in them. From what you can see through the cloak she is dressed in studded leather armor brown leather paints and black leather riding boots she has a bow slung over one shoulder. The wolf seams to be following her. She walks up to the bar and orders a hot meal and some cold ale to drink as well as some raw meet for the wolf. she then looks around to find a empty table in a corner some where to sit with her back to the wall and wait on her order.

"Alright, I'll stay" he said, smiling sweetly, he removed his hat, placing it in his item bag, revealing his slightly blond, yet brown hair and its rather messy style. he then looked at his outfit and what it had become from the battle, he frowned and his ears drooped. "I need to change... be right back Euphoria" he stood up, jumping out of his boots, he then picked them up, placing them off to the side of the closet door, which he then entered and started to change. A few moments later, he stepped out into the open, dressed in his Ordon Clothes, he placed his sandals next to his boots and looked at Euphoria.

She looked quite beautiful in her nighty as well as her dress, it made Link blush slightly, "uhh..." he said shyly, scratching the back of his head, "I must say, Euphoria, you are rather... beautiful." He chuckled slightly, but then regained his posture and headed over to the bed, climbing in after her, he cuddled and held her close to him, trying to get comfortable. He sighed happily, "good night Euphoria" he seemed to whisper, then he closed his eyes and started to fall asleep.

Euphoria blushed when complimented, but grinned up at Link, murmuring back, "Well, you're pretty handsome, yourself, Link.." When he joined her in the bed, she warmly snuggled upto him, deeply enjoying his strong arms around her and resting her head on his chest. The woman leaned up after a moment to ever-so-softly kiss Link's lips, smiling and resting her head once more. "Goodnight Link," she whispered quietly, also drifting off to sleep.

He smiled and cuddled a little more with her, he fell into a deep sleep a few minutes later, the sun slowly began to rise in the sky about four hours later, they did go to bed late. Greeted with the light of the sun, the birds outside began to stir, they flew passed the window, chirping loudly, which managed to wake Link up. His ears twitched and he slowly opened his eyes, seeing the ceiling, he looked over at Euphoria, sleeping peacefully and cuddled up to him. He smiled softly, giving her a kiss on the cheek, he didn't want to wake her up just yet, it was too early, but he couldn't go back to sleep. He slowly got out of bed, without waking her, and he put the blanket more over her so she was warm and comfy, then he quietly picked up his shoes and left the room.

Putting on his sandals outside the door, he began to head downstairs almost silently to not disturb anyone, he was greeted with an empty bar, the inn was completely silent, almost peacefully. He sighed, but not upsettingly, seeing all of the empty chairs and the sunshine slowly pour in, making everything a warm, orange color that was in the way, it was rather beautiful and made him smile. He headed over to the door and stepped outside, closing it behind him, he stepped off the porch and took a deep breath of the fresh, slightly moist morning air. Everything was just so peaceful, he didn't want anything to ruin it, he sat down on the second porch step and looked around at his surroundings, he yawned a little though, still half-asleep.

Just then, his shadow flew into the air, taking on the solid form of Midna, who sat down next to Link, to keep him company, she stretched and yawned, "that was a good sleep! Did I miss anything, Link?" She asked him curiously, Link's face turned to surprise, then sadness, he was reminded of last night, he'd almost forgotten about it. Midna looked away, knowing she upset him, "I'm sorry Link... I won't ask again" he sighed sadly, "its alright Midna, I'll probably feel better during breakfast, if everyone wakes up." He looked behind him at the inn, wondering if Sard and the others were up yet.

Euphoria slept not much longer than Link, and pulled on her boots, not bothering to put her dress back on. It covered her well and was fine attire for breakfast a tavern. Just before she left the room, Euphoria noticed that the man she'd fallen asleep with was no longer there. Slowly descending the stairs, she walkedout into the main area and sat near Link. "Good morning.." She smiled. "Did you sleep well? I was surprised when I woke up to you gone.."
