"Indeed you may recognize him for he will have the same face you have on now, confused, struggling, curious, and worried. I mean no offense by these words, but that you will find that he is just as unnerved as you are. However if we are lucky you will not have to fight him, or anyone else, because I wish for us to get by without a fight." Demoko said patting his friend on the back. He noticed that Link didn't want to take the water Caelan offered him, while his connection to Link had been severed for some reason he still had the ability to read facial and body language. "Do not be afraid to take water from Caelan Link, his water pouch has as much water in it as the ocean. It could flood this entire desert before running out." Demoko said in a joking manner, but he couldn't do it that well. His old powers may have been returned to him, but his emotions, his ability to feel joy, happiness, fun, and want he longed for most, love, were still unavailable to him.
Nayrin returned and revealed herself to the group by throwing off her cloak, indeed he had given her a fitting gift. Demoko listened to Nayrin's scouting report. Blowing up the bridge was a bit far he thought, but they were beginning to reach the end game, Thallus was now taking extra precautions incase they somehow did find a way to stop him. General Onyx was with them and from what she had said about a smaller man, he guessed it was Gaios, a man known as simply the Swordsman to many. Regol sprung up from Nayrin's shadow and stood next to her. He had formed an attachment to her ever since his return from the dead, as to how this transpired he did not know since he was not present during the Trials for the most part. However Regol kept referring to Nayrin as his guardian angel, which Demoko could care less about as long as Regol proved himself a member of the team, his assistance would no doubt come in handy. Regol though could not speak directly to them, he had to write down what he wanted to say or whisper in the tongue of shadows to Aadab and Nayrin.
Demoko looked to the merchants who were know upon them, "Greetings strangers! I am the leader of this merchant troupe we have travelled fair from the kingdom of Holodum to trade in the great land of Hyrule!" A gold robed figure said with large glowing white eyes. Demoko looked at the trading caravan and back at his group. He had hatched an idea.
"Well let me be the first to welcome you to the land of Hyrule stranger, and let me be one of your first customers. Though what I'm looking to buy is not merchandise, but transportation." Demoko said as he bowed before the individual in a polite manner as he welomced him. The figure raised an eyebrow or at least Demoko thought he did, he couldn't tell since his eyes were so large and glowing.
"I feel there is more to this than simple transportation stranger." The figure said.
"Well let's say my friends and I have run into some trouble and we're trying to fix it but some people are trying to prevent us from fixing..."
"If you can make the payment my troupe will be happy to provide any services..." Demoko pulled out a handful of gold rocks and watched as the figure's eyes grew twice in size. He look at the gold ore chunks and back at Demoko. "You are knowledgeable on Subrosian culture I see. I will be happy to help you in your dilemma stranger." the figure said reaching out and taking the gold ore chunks. "Climb in the far wagon cart, and let us continue not as strangers but friends!" The figure hopped back into the lead wagon. Demoko turned back to the group.
"Nayrin recall Aadab, let us climb aboard." Demoko said as he held his hand up and let glowing blue dust spring from his hand and fall upon him. His shape transformed into a small wrinkly old man with a walking stick, the same figure he had met Sophos, Link, and Regol in at the beginning of their quest. He took some silver rings from his pocket and held them out to the group. "Take one of these and put it on, they will slightly transform your appearance and body. Enough hopefully to fool the Templars."
