[Invite-Only] Legend of Zelda: Explorers of Hyrule RPG

Shia considered that for a second, not actually seeming as mad as she'd looked. Because you were very helpful when we were in the prison... Then she spoke, not sounding mad at all, just intrigued. "Good point, but that's not what I was saying. I never said that I would make a good leader. I wouldn't."
Ferondir stepped between them. "Lay off each other. A good leader doesn't pick fights or aggravate them. Besides that, We've got a job to do. Let's go find that sword."
Shia sighed. "Zeph wasn't upset, and I like fights. They're a good mental exercise, as long as no one gets really upset. Besides, Zeph's the only one who actually fights with me instead of trying to 'calm me down.' A lot of the time I'm not even angry... I suppose we should probably get to work."

Ferondir blinked. He must have misjudged the situation. "Very wise, Shia, but this isn't the best place to fight."
He turned back to Jakub. "Lead on."

Sapphire looked around at her somewhat different surroundings. It was interesting, to think this is old castle town. She rubbed her arms uncomfortably. She wasn't accustomed to being out of water for so long, and was feeling odd. She was sure Amethyst was feeling similar to her in this sense. There was a stream, as far as she could see, but it might make the people see her as an outsider even more if she jumped in there for a bit. She was unhappy with this situation, and was wondering if it would be the pirates all over again.

Day -36,493 (Late Afternoon)/Amethyst/17/Where: Castle Town (Past)/With: The Group

It began lightly sprinkling on the walk, and the Group arrived at the Bannered Steed tavern. Guzore peeked into the window and saw another Jakub talking to a woman. She must've been Lucerna. Young Jakub didn't look too different from his current self. He didn't wear a red hat though, and his outfit was green and white, as opposed to red. His sword was lying against a coatrack with several umbrellas and hats next to it.
Wow, you sure know how to take care of your belongings...
Guzore laughed at Amethyst's sarcastic comment.
This'll be a sinch! We'll just grab the sword when he's not looking and run as fast as we can!
A group of men in worn-down clothing and dirty shoes walked down the street. They smelled like fish from quite a distance and clearly hadn't brushed their teeth in awhile. Amethyst had a shiver run down her spine.
Pirates.
Amethyst flinched, but when she opened her eyes, she saw herself in the lower deck of a ship with a younger version of Sapphire. Several pirates were looking at them.
Y'all must've swabbed this deck with yer eyes closed! You call this clean?
The pirate kicked a barrel over, causing root beer to pour out of it and stain the newly cleaned wood of the ship's floor.
WHOOPS! Looks like there's more work to do now! Guess y'all be skipping dinner tonight!
Sapphire whined.
Please, no! I'm really hungry! I need to eat something!
She crawled towards the pirate leader, but he kicked her away from him.
Getch yer fish-hands away from me, you whiny little-
Amethyst got up and rushed at the pirate with her fist clenched, and punched his stomach with all her might. He stumbled back slightly and was speechless for a moment. He glared up at Amethyst with a crazed look in his eyes and began laughing.
You thinks you've got what it takes to knock me lights out? HAHAHAHA!!
Amethyst couldn't bear to stay any longer. She took Sapphire's hand and ran towards the other side of the room. She climbed a ladder to the upper deck. It was pouring rain, and the waves were rough. She ran to the plank with Sapphire, with the pirates in close pursuit.
C'mon, Sapphire, we're gonna get out of this! We're gonna swim away and never come back, okay??
Sapphire looked at Amethyst with uncertainty and then nodded. Holding hands, they jumped off of the ship into the raging waters below them.
...
Amethyst opened her eyes with a jerk, unsure of where she was. She looked around and saw a Goron, several Hylians, and... her sister.
The Mansion. The Prison. Veneficus.
The flashback was over. Amethyst regained her posture and stood in front of Sapphire so the pirates wouldn't see them.

So this is the place Jakub was talking about... We must really stand out. Shia looked into the room. Nothing seemed dangerous.
"This'll be a sinch! We'll just grab the sword when he's not looking and run as fast as we can!"
She shook her head, lowering her voice so that Past Jakub and his girlfriend didn't hear. "I don't think it'll be that simple. People would notice, and I think it needs to go missing at the right time. I'm not sure on that, actually... Maybe we should ask Veneficus?"
Sudden movement from Amethyst made her turn, ready to draw her knife. ... Some strangers walking down the street? I don't see a problem with that...

Ferondir saw the sword too. "We should follow him until he loses it. But we must not be seen, or our Jakub will have seen us before we met, and things'll get complicated. He absolutely mustn't see our Jakub, or he might attack himself. I mean, what would anyone do if they saw themselves?" He blinked. That might have confused a few people. "Sorry, never mind. Just don't let him see us." He realised Shia was looking at him. "What?" he asked, defensively.
It dawned on him. That silver thing...
"Oh. Yeah." He pulled it out of his pocket, and flared his aura slightly.
The gem activated.
"Veneficus? Can you hear me?" He paused.

Day -36,493 (Late Afternoon)/Guzore/20/Where: Castle Town (Past)/With: The Group

Guzore jumped in the air in excitement.
Ooh, a message sent across time! How exciting!!
The gem that Ferondir was holding buzzed for a few moments and glowed bright blue.
Oh, hello there! Yes, I can hear you. Glad to know you made it there alright!
"We're just outside the Bannered Mare. The sword is right here. Should we just snag it and run, or should we wait till it's supposed to disappear?"
Hm, I'd suggest waiting until Jakub actually loses it and see where it goes from there. If it gets left somewhere, you'll just be able to take it. If someone else gets ahold of it, things may get a bit more... complicated.
The gem buzzed and stopped glowing.
The pirates walked past the group and into the tavern, laughing. Amethyst glared at all of them. One glared at her with a confused expression, as he had never seen a Zora before.
Man, I've had way too much root beer...
The pirates entered the tavern and gathered on a table, laughing at each other. Young Jakub was still talking to Lucerna.

Ferondir put the gem back into it's case. "That's that," he said. He looked around and the unanimous question on the faces around him. What did he say? "We are to wait until he loses it... I can see that this may get complicated, so it might be wise if all twelve of us didn't follow him. Maybe just one or two." He looked into the window again. "He doesn't seem to plan on leaving soon, so I'm going to go have a look around; get my bearings, so to speak."
He started to turn and head toward the castle. He really hated not knowing these people, because it felt like he had so much responsibility. Yet he couldn't remember taking it on.
The only person he actually remembered was Shia.
He knew their names, and knew how he felt about a few of them, but other then that... nothing.
Such vast, frightening emptiness.
But his amnesia wasn't the main issue here. All these people were here to find that sword.

[invective~directive]

Shia could feel her friend's unhappiness. "Hey, are you alright?" I hope nothing's wrong... The past seemed to be stressing some of the group out, like Amethyst. I hope that it's nothing serious. Maybe his memories, or the pressure to succeed?

He had taken his first step away from the group when he heard Shia speak. Without turning round, he answered. "Yeah, I just don't know anyone, but I know I should. It's so... ugh."
He turned to face her. His fist was clenched, as was his jaw. "It's just so frustrating." He looked around. "I don't recognise anything here. It's like when you see someone and sorta recognise them, but have no idea where you've seen them, you know?"
