<strong>Streets of Hyrule Castle Town.</strong><br/><br/>Only so many people could hope to sneak up on someone like Tyger or Andrew, and the mysterious black robed person that stood off just out of sight of the sewer entrance was one of them.  It wouldn't have been the first time she had done this, or rather one of her past incarnations, having been a Shiekah once upon a time as well as a pirate once as well, strangely enough.  Princess Zelda stepped out of the shadows, her every feature concealed under her black robe and hood and a pair of black gloves as well to hide her pale but beautiful skin tone that marked her so clearly as the hidden Triforce emblem on her right hand.  Hidden but never forgotten since its power helped her guide and nurture her home as best as she could with her wisdom, enhanced many times over thanks to her chosen attribute and the matching piece of the Triforce she had been given long ago by her mother upon her deathbed.<br/><br/>Her voice was also disguised from the unnaturally soothing tones she usually gave off, to that of a voice that was easily forgotten when it passed by their ears.  "Follow me to safety.  Everything will be explained when we reach our destination."  Upon seeing Sarah in the were-tiger's arms though, Zelda couldn't help but put a hand to her concealed mouth, having not expected or foreseen this.  She slowly approached Tyger, and put a hand to his chest and another on Sarah's forehead, and seemed to be praying silently to those watching, but it was far more than that.  When she moved again, she met Tyger's eyes and nodded once.  In that simple gesture was all the confirmation that she wouldn't be in danger of becoming a were-rat, but beyond that she didn't know what would happen to the girl herself the when the next full moon came.  In that touch though, she had given Tyger a measure of control he had never had before, not so much sealing the spirit within him but making it more manageable for the half elf to control now, even during a full moon as it was now.<br/><br/>Walking away, she does give Andrew a stare that he might or might not recognize since he and the royal guards of Hyrule had had their hands full in keeping the Princess under wraps while she had been growing up.  Then, when she had come of age to handle her mother's powerful artifact, the very reason just about that Hyrule was safe and secure thanks to her wisdom, the young Zelda had changed practically overnight to the person she was now.  "Come, she is waiting."  Was all she would say, heading off whether or not they would follow so quietly.  If not and her identity was revealed, she would take it in stride but hope that no evil eyes were upon them then.  She also looked to Mael, and for a brief moment that only the girl who had grown with woo spirits would see, revealed her true form to her eyes alone, a finger to her lips to signal that she shouldn't reveal who she is to the others yet if they hadn't figured it out already.<em>You didn't fail Mael.  You did the best that one such as yourself could, and that is all that anyone of these people you travel with now sill ever ask of you.</em>The telepathic message from the Princess was also just for Mael's mind alone, and she never once lost pace or direction as they walked through the silent streets of the fair city.<br/><br/>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>((Sorry for the rude awakening Leo lol.))<br/><br/><strong>Outside Darin's room....</strong><br/><br/>Guards had been dispatched to collect the blacksmith, but for what reason they had not been told.  So, being the blundering idiot the man was known to be, the captain of this small group of men had thought Darin a criminal wanted by the crown princess for questioning, and possibly execution.  When it was found out later he had made such an assumption, the man would be stripped of his rank and sent home to live out the rest of his years in solitude.  Now however, the captain had his men break down Darin's door when they found it locked without so much as a warning to the man within the room.  "Grab him, bind him, and strip him of his weapons!  Princess Zelda wants him, and I be guessing he's a criminal the way he's dressed, the brute!"  His guards weren't so eager to try it though since they couldn't see anything wrong with the man, and they knew how their captain lacked a brain, but until a better suited individual could be found, they were stuck with what they had.  And so a dozen men in full armor surrounded Darin's bed, but they were kind and seemed quite embarrassed as much as they were ashamed to be working for their 'captain' who should have been retired long ago.  The human captain, a brute matching Darin in size but definitely not in good looks or brains who was rumored to have been the half bred son of a moblin and a goat, stomped past his men and dragged Darin to his feet himself.  "Let's go animal!  We're wasting time standing around here!"
