((Very apt description Mhina lol.))<br/><br/>The were-rats were not simple beasts as they first appeared to be.  Most of them carried weapons, armor, and other items which said they still held some of their humanity yet.  "Kill them all!  Bring me the women alive!"  A heavily armored brute of the pack, standing a head taller than the rest, ordered and Sarah took notice of the beast as she ducked a swipe of a wooden club, amazed by Tyger's transformation as her sword came up, blocking a second blade from her right, her shield bashing into a third before she managed to slip her sword free and drive it home into the beast's chest just in time for her shield to catch the club in mid flight.  Even in her full platemail armor, Sarah managed to get her foot up and slammed her boot into the creature's chin, toppling it but not before she severed its throat as it fell.<br/><br/>There were two dozen already arrayed against them, and she couldn't tell where they were coming from as they poured out of every tunnel and side passage.  Still, it couldn't have been that many otherwise they would have heard them long before she surmised, unaware that the reason they hadn't heard them until now was due to a dimensional rift that had already opened up down in the tunnels underneath Hyrule.  The Great Sundering had already begun. If even one of these things escaped into the wide world, then their plague would spread like wildfire.  Sarah knew this in her heart as she slammed her shield into another, spinning to the right, her sword leading as it drove through another were-rat's waist.  Completing the spin, her shield arm cut vertically before her, just sharp enough to blast away another monster's face as her sword found yet another across its chest.  This was going to take a while.  The leader meanwhile hung back, assured his pack could take these fools down before he ran out of men.  Even if they took the leader out though, the rest would keep on fighting.<br/><br/>Never taking her eyes off the fight before them, Sarah listened to Mael's screams of denial and couldn't help but yell in turn.  "Then get up off of your ass and help us fight these damn things off!  I don't care where they came from, they're blocking our way and threatening our lives!  If you don't want to die down here, I suggest you grow some balls in about two seconds!"  She yelled in reply, her eyes almost glowing in the dark as her anger at being stopped when they were so close evident as she fought harder than she had before today, carving a path forward towards the leader despite the swarm still before them all.<br/><br/>((Don't worry, we won't be down here forever, just a couple of posts lol.))<br/><br/>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>"What indeed?  I don't know myself, but I do know there's evil on the rise."  Midna giggled, hopping off of Darin's shoulder to land on her feet on the floor before him.  Cocking her head to the side, the Twilight Princess put her hands on her waist and decided upon his words to share the truth of what she was since he was doubting her claims.  Course, she knew that anyone would doubt her word, except Princess Zelda considering she could see visions and portents thanks to her mystical powers.  "Very well, I'll reveal my true form to you then since you don't think much of this one."  She seemed to disappear, but all Midna did in reality was turn into a shadow and join a small area of darkened room before coming out as tall as he was, but slender as a rod and beautiful to boot.  The only thing that hadn't really changed was her red eyes, and they still held the twinkle that had been there before.<br/><br/>"So, do you believe me now, mountain boy?  You confirmed what I myself have been trying to tell you about since usually the local wild life aren't so active.  Even on my home world, the creatures native to the Twilight Realm have been agitated of late, striking out at all that pass them by without cause.  Something is coming or already has, and I have a hunch I know who it might be."  She looked to the man though, and Midna's mischievous grin formed as she considered what he might be capable of if she....accidentally tempted him to share his bed with her.  The clothing she wore Midna made the left shoulder slip noticeably, wondering if the human would be tempted at all.  If not, she'd leave now as she stepped a bit closer, leaning in to tease his earlobe if he didn't push her away first.<br/><br/>http://www.zeldadungeon.net/Zelda11/Characters/TwilightPrincess_Large.png (http://www.zeldadungeon.net/Zelda11/Characters/TwilightPrincess_Large.png)
