The eye of the storm: Arkin and Ram meet.

[towersentry]

Arkin sat down. He had been walking so many miles, and his feet were begining to sore. Even his boots were not helping. Looking down, he saw a flower. A blue one that seemed to reach out and bust with majesty and elagacy. It was so beautiful, the only flower that Arkin had ever paid any mind to. He bent down to feel the smooth and cool buds. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past him, snapping the flower's stem and causing it to be carried away. It seemed to call out to Arkin, crying for help.
"Talk about depressing." He said to himself, laying back.
"Ever since I left Eflorin and Shellly, my only family, everythings been like this. I feel like if someone or something doesn't kill me, I'm going to start thinking of suicide." But a few seconds after that thought, he shivered. He had scared himself, and suicide was something he didn't want to commit. Suddenly, several Morth appeared. Those little balls with the harmless orange spikes and single green eyes didn't scare him. He dispatched of them with his dagger, and went on starring ahead towards Hyrule's Castle Town, those miles and miles away. He began to wonder why he had travled so far south in the first place, only to come back. But that thought vanished as yet two more groups of Morth appreared. He killed one group, when more appeared, then more, suddenly, they were overwhelming him, attachign to his body until he couldn't even move. Suddenly, an Areolfos flew down from the skies above, and screeched at Arkin. He screamed, but those screams were soon muffled by another colony of Morths. Springing from the ground were two pairs of moldorms, circling around Arkin like a prison cell. Bulblins, hords of them appeared, and were all staring at Arkin. Once again, the Areolfos circled around Arkin.Obviousy, it was the leader. But now, Arkin was alone, helpless against a hord of armed kleptomaniacs.

Arkin stressed his arm, against the morths that held him down. His mucles where straining, and his nerv¶ís wanted to burst. But he came through, his arm sprang up, and he grabbed the morth over his mouth, ripping it off. He screamed again, yelping for help. But he silenced, hearing the areolfos whispering something. Once he was done, a purple fog circled Arkin, and he felt something happening to the morths.
"Agh!" He yelled as a wound ripped in his skin. It came from the prick of one of the morth's spikes. But that was impossible! The spikes only helped the morths cling to slow down their victim, but they were becoming lethal. The areolfos then said the same thing he had said before, but louder. Once again, Arkin screamed to the pain of the morths' spikes. Suddenly, the Areofols threw it's hands in the air, and screamed the spell. Arkin then felt the same pain, but hundreds of pricks at a time. The morths' green eyes then turned red, and Arkin felt his vision, feeling, and senses fade. He couldn't die, not now. He had to help in the quest for the legion hero, he had to meet the Hylian monarchy, and most of all, he had to return to his family. But he couldn't live. He was slowly being impaled. But, just as his vision blackened, he saw something happen to the areolfos. Blood slightly spurted from his chest, and as a fell to the ground, there was a knife in his back, and holding the knife while standing on the flying lizard, was a Deku Scrub.

"Eye, yer gonna start scarin' me if you don't get up ya' will." Arkin heard, waking up with a headache stomping in his head.
"Wha... what?" A confused Arkin said.
"Eye, move too much and yer gonna' start bleedin'." Arkin looked up, and there stood the deku scrub. Arkin then looked down, seeing his body resembled that of a gibdo. Each bandaid was soaking up blood, and the white strips were begining to get a yellow tone.
"Um..." Arkin tried to say something, but the akward moment held him back. "Thank, thank you."
"Eye, no problem young wanderer. M'name's Royder Ram, son of Loyder Lamb of the House of Donfansen. Y'can call me Ram." Arkin looked in wonder, as the small creature started a fire in the moonlight. Such a short thing was older than Arkin, and that felt akward. But what happened next really struck Arkin.
"Well," Ram started. "I want to go to Hyrule Castle with ya'."

"Wha, what?" Stammered arkin. It was just so suddle, all of a sudden, a deku scrub appeared, and blantly requested that he joined Arkin in his quest.
"What y' mean what? Heh, I told you that I want to go to Hyrule wich'a!"
"But, how...how did you know that I was going to Hyrule Castle?"
"Well, it's bit' balantly obvious. Ose' Kleptomaniacs are folks I'm familiar with! They only mug people going to monarchy they do, thinks that people goins' to castles are rich. Saw them mug peoples goin' in and out o' the castle. Tis' time, I gots the leader, took his stuff I did too, so now we can sells them."
Arkin just stared, with a blank face looking forwards as if for miles and miles away. Finally, he spoke.
"Umm, well"
"I picked ya' fer' a reason, and it's cause' I likes ya'. I don't just pick friends for reasons, cause' I know that sometimes they ain't yer real friends. From experience I learned. So, you should consider it an honor that I'm travlin' wich'a!"
Arkin smiled, he too seemed drawn to partnering with this deku scrub. He chuckled, and held out his hand. Ram smiled, and lifted him up. Patting Arkin on the back to wipe off the dirt, Ram was pleased to hear an "Okay".
