First the Hylian spoke, Giving his affirmation to the quest in his own snide way. He was a cynical one but that was not unheard of in the world today Daphnes suspected. Next came the Goron, slow in his speech, but his face gave way to many emotions. An anger and fury were there, something Daphnes could empathize with, but it subsided upon viewing the little one, and then the Great Tree Daphnes had spoken of moments earlier. He too joined the quest.<br/><br/>The Zora came next. Something had caught her by surprise as it took her some time to reply, but her composure was soon regained, as well as her wit.<br/><br/>"Rehearsed?" The old man grinned. "I suppose so. I do prefer to work with a plan after all. Your demands are easily done, if we are to travel as one we must have trust after all."<br/><br/>Finally the little Goron boy spoke up, overcoming his fright. It seemed that Milo, as he called himself, was truly lost. His plight saddened Daphnes all the more, assuming the worst of his former protector. "This journey will be a long one young Milo. We will be traveling the land so plenty of time to search on the go. If she is out there we will find her." He would hide his thoughts for now. The Zora Vota could yet live and his fears could be unfounded. He would not pour his own worries onto those of a frightened child.<br/><br/>Standing up straighter than before, he dusted his gloves off and spoke to them all once more. "It is settled then. All of us have suffered under the Dark Lord's reign, but now we will finally push back. How will we do this? Do you know of the Sages of old? It was they that drew strength from the Gods and spirits to aid the hero in his quest. It is said that they all died with the hero, but no new sage has been born since. Their spirits are trapped, and I fear that they may have suffered a fate worse than death. Our first destination is the shrine within these forests, but a days walk from where you now stand. For now we rest, for I'm sure another days walk through that forest will be too much for you lot. I have food if you've the need of it, and my Goron friends, there should be fine rocks near the cliffs edge that you entered from. Rest and if you wish to get to know one another. If all goes well we will be relying on each other." With the kind smile he was getting known for, he made his way towards the edge of the clearing where hollowed out stumps lay. Many materials were removed, including logs for a fire and a fishing rod. "If any would like to join me I'll be trying to add some meat to our meal. Otherwise make yourself comfortable my friends." And with that he walked into the forest once more towards a shallow river he knew well.
