"Hmn...So ends the easy part.", Einnashe murmured through her scarf.
The time had finally come. She, Kiru, and Tatyana managed to sneak through the castle grounds into a courtyard-garden area of the castle. Since the fencing about the unbelievably large garden was in disarray there was little effort to be had as far as sneaking in...but it became increasingly dangerous the closer they approached their objective.
There was quite a number of beasts roaming about in these gardens and the vegetation surrounding it. It appeared almost worse than that of the city streets in Hyrule. It truly became a matter of how well she remembered the castle grounds whether or not they were to be safe from danger for long...and luckily so far her memory had been no less than perfect. She'd recalled various little hiding places she'd known since she was a child. Though now...it seemed their luck had finally ran out...When Einnashe came into the garden she could already sense that they would not be able to press on without engaging an enemy....
Yet this did not appear to bother her....rather, it seemed to only instill that much more determination in her eyes.
"I can hear some shuffling about.", she'd whisper low so that only her company in the bushes they hid could hear,""From the sounds of it...whatever is out there is wearing armor. Can you hear the clattering of swords against their sheaths, and the shiver of plate?...Yet even with this its too quiet. We've seen a lot of ReDead since we've been out here. They might be undead as well."
After speaking to the two cautiously she carefully ducked down and stealthily traveled in a crouch toward a line of bushes that was not far from their sights. She checked the ground for any manner of brittleness to be stepped on and noticed no such things. Afterward Einna waved the two over so that they could join her in the next set of bushes. After that she attempted to move forward a little and clear her vision of the vegetation so that she could view what might be ahead. Sure enough...there were two guards...both of which were in horrible condition. Their blood streaked armor was gored enough to confirm to her that they were not alive. Further she heard the odd noises of Blins chattering in the distance. A glance to the far right revealed that a Miniblin was wandering about aimlessly...unalerted.
"Hmn. Seems I was right...then it's best we keep silent and do our best to dispatch whatever necessary as quietly and quickly as possible. I think perhaps we should see about grabbing the attention of the weakest first...taking them away from where they can cause a scene via bait and distraction, and kill it quickly. We'll handle the rest all just like that. Sound like a plan?", Einnashe whispered to the too carefully.
She'd not move until she was certain they were prepared.
Thinking strategically wasn't his best asset, and neither was stealth. His abilities were a little more.. loud. His magic spell wouldn't be terrible here, but it wasted far too much energy for a single enemy. All he had was this cool new sickle and chain, and he wasn't too familiar with it, a boomerang, made of some soft wood, and his trusty sword.
Sighing, he looked at his partners. "I'm not sure I can attack quietly, but I can bring him over here, just give me a moment."
He slipped out his boomerang. "I figure if we hit something with this, that would bring him over here. Unless you have something better?"
WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD BE STANDING HERE LOOKING AT THE HELL THAT I COULD NEVER IMAGINE.
Made by a Melon!
Taty couldn't believe this. This castle had been a frequent destination of hers. One that she would play in as a young child, and she'd been here so many times that it was her second home. And now whenever you turned a corner you'd see a monster that had invaded it. And Taty to be honest, was really pissed off about it. A lot of people told her to not come due to the fact she's sworn to never hurt another creature, but she couldn't help it, it was her home and she wasn't going to let anyone take it away from her. So though she wont break her oath, she will help Einna as much as she can.
She also couldn't figure out why the kid was there, he wasn't the smartest of them all to say the least. "Whatever you say Einna, I'll have your back." Taty nodded, hoping that it'd be okay in the end. This obviously wasn't the strongest team, but Einna was probably the strongest out of everyone in the group so Taty could understand why she wouldn't need as much support as everyone else.
Looking at the kid. "Are you stupid? These monster's are almost as smart as you, I doubt that would work they'd just be confused for a minuet and continue. It'd be better for Einna to sneak behind it when it's not looking and just take it out quickly and smoothly." She nodded, looking at Einna, up for whatever she wanted she'd be sure to heal to her best ability.

Einnashe Zeil: Hyrule's Sentinel of Truth

Einnashe seemed completely absorbed in thought. She'd stare at the two Undead Knights with an intense expression that could only suggest that she was planning. It was only after a few passing minutes that she moved with all of the silence of an expert assassin. Not a single sound of movement came to even Kiru and Tatyana's ears, even though they were all present together in the bushes. She'd gotten on all fours and moved like an animal weaving forward with a kind of slow grace that only a panther could provide.
"I'm going to draw their attention", she spoke,"I want Kiru to follow me as quietly as possible...but trail behind me ten paces. Do nothing until I speak of you to do so...but I want you to use that chained sickle I saw you with earlier today. I will make the movements to suggest to you what you should do when the time is right. " As she spoke she moved, but after her words it was again miraculously quiet. When she got to the end of the lengthy collection of bushes...she'd peek slightly out to spot a miniblin wandering about on its lonesome. With a quick deft movement she snatched a fairly sized rock from bushes.
She purposefully made a noise to draw its attention toward the gap between the bushes and wall that it was near...
When she saw the little creature's ugly face...
POP!
Suddenly the little beast cried out in pain as a rock struck it right in the forehead. It fell backward and Einnashe darted from the bushes to take refuge in the bushes further to her own right. Again purposefully she'd moved just in time for the miniblin to see her running and diving into the bushes without a sound. As a result the little creature got up and sped right after her with it's little pitch fork raised high. As per part of the plan one of the Undead Guards (II) saw the miniblin's actions and moved with curiosity. It hobbled over to the space near Kiru, and while the miniblin was on its way to her...Einna made a whistling sound to catch Kiru's attention.
Knowing well that this would prompt the guard to move ever quicker toward the opening between the bushes, he'd find that the guard was moving fairly close to his position---but without seeing him or even having any concern to the idea of looking where Kiru was hidden. While Einna had Kiru's attention, if she got it...she'd make a gagging expression while holding her hands in a way that would suggest she was holding a rope and trying to pull it against her throat. If Kiru could process the idea...he'd understand she wanted him to catch the guard by surprise and yank him back by his throat. With the beast in close range he could get in an attack and dart away while the creature was still disoriented. Then if he was smart enough he'd be able to lure the creature further away into the garden where he could deal with it himself how he pleased.
Her attention shifted back to the Miniblin as it came running with its pitch fork held forward. Though it could not easily see her, it would attempt to stab into the bushes to strike her.
Kiru sorta shrugged. He thought it was a good plan. He was slighttly offended at the comments towards his intelligence, but nothing that warranted commenting about. His thoughts were interrupted as Einnashe began whispering.
He understood and quietly followed. He tried to remain focused and wait for the signal, but his mind did wander. They hadn't passed the place where Tetsuno had been training, and this worried the young swordsmen. His thoughts were once again interrupted, this time by a shrill whistle. He followed what she was saying, though he was a little doubtful of his skill to pull it off.
As the guard was about to pass him he jumped out of the his hiding place and wrapped the chain around the guards neck. Then. while the guard was being jerked back, he jammed the point of his sickle into its armor. The blade wasn't sharp enough to puncture its armor completely, but it still caused some damage. The guard turned, growling inhumanly, and gave chase to the already fleeing Kiru.
He led the guard back the way he came, spinning around abruptly. The guard, however, didn't stop moving. This was well within Kiru's plan though, as he sidestepped its swipe and jumped back, drawing his weapon. He steadied himself, and prepared to attack.
WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD BE STANDING HERE LOOKING AT THE HELL THAT I COULD NEVER IMAGINE.
Made by a Melon!
Taty watched the two talk knowing that she wouldn't have any part of this battle plan. She would just stay put and waited a bit, waiting for the chance where she was needed. Until something glittered in the corner, and she wondered if it could be something that they needed, and it wasn't like this wasn't her second home. Anything in it she had almost every right too.
She krept out watching the monsters, before moving slowly to the treasure, and snuck over and grabbed it before moving over to the bushes and looked over at the two, watching them closely. "Don't screw up kid, come on..." She whispered nervously keeping the treasure close to her hoping that it'd help them out eventually.

'YEEMPH--!'
Her hands, gloved in black leather, yanked the beast right into the darkness of the bushes by its pitch fork. It's cry of surprise was quickly interrupted by a solid left hook that would surely stun the beast. A swift draw of Nirvana Durandal followed as she forced the beast to turn its body in her arms and slit its throat with the precision and accuracy one could expect from a Sheikah. The lifeless body of the Blin soon fell without support as she'd quickly moved on to assist Kiru. Her every movement carefully made and stealthily executed.
Watching Kiru in a slight crouch, just outside of her previous hiding place, she waited for a decent opening to quickly end their second opponent. While doing this she of course glanced to Tatyana to ensure her safety---and spoke out to her with a low voice.
"Be careful...If you get out of my sight I may not be able to reach you in time should you need assistance.", with that she turned her attention back to Kiru and waited while leaning forward. She was certain the Undead Knight had no idea she was there...so she needed only to wait for the perfect moment to strike it down. That is, of course, unless Kiru could quickly handle him on his own.
Kiru wished he could finish the knight off quickly, but sadly, it looked like its armor was thicker than its skull. Though it turned out, that the swordsman's sickle was still in the knights back. A bit of the chain was wrapped around its neck, still in place due to the blade lodged in its back. The rest of the chain hung past its feet.
"Hmm. I could probably tie you up. But I really want that back... That other monster didn't look like much of a problem though, so if I just trap you, it should be fine."
This conversation of course, went completely over the knights head, and it was confused as to why its target was even moving its mouth. The monster went to strike, but was too late as Kiru sprung into action. He ducked under the knight's blade, and slashed at its head with some speed, partially blinding it. As it reeled, he grabbed the chain and jerked it, ripping the monster off balance and onto its back, causing the sickle to go a bit deeper. As this was pretty painful, even to something that felt little pain, it gave Kiru enough time to lodge a branch into the chain, then firmly into the ground,giving a few experimental tugs to make sure it would hold. This way, if it tried to sit up, it would simply jerk the chain, which in turn would pull the sickle, causing pain.
"That should occupy you. Now to wait for that ninja woman. Then we'll probably just finish you off or something. gotta get my sickle back somehow."
Kiru slightly wondered why he thought of the knight as a chatting partner, but pushed the thought out of his mind. The knight appeared to still be able to swing its sword from that position, though it was a lot less mobile. The boy wondered how he should deal with this.

Seeing that the boy had it under control she stood straight and casually approtched. Once she was in range she stabbed Durandal into the flailing arm of the fallen undead knight. Though it could still thrash about to some degree, it would sooner tear off its own arm than be able to strike her with its blade. So when she'd managed to further stablized the threat she looked back at Tatyana, then to Kiru.
"...Kiru, it's dead. Little more than a wandering husk with limited intelligence.", Einna spoke gently to Kiru with something of a concerned look.
Something about how Kiru spoke with that living corpse unnerved her a little. Not in a way that would last, this was for certain...But she admitted internally to herself thoughts she didn't want to consider while they were out here. She suppressed those thoughts. She also decided against any assumption that this boy might not be sane...After all if it were the truth her fortune could cause their numbers to dwindle to two people leaving rather than three. She shook her head of the thought and looked down at the angrily, now half helpless, writhing corpse before them both.
"Keep your voice low and stay on task. Remember we are only dealing with monsters."
Kiru immediatly blushed as he realized the woman had probably heard everything he said. "I-Its a habit. Not the talking to dead people part I mean.. Well I had this friend when I was younger and.." Kiru was a bit flustered. He did finally manage to get out a response. "I'll tell you when were not sneaking around. You can count on my sanity." Hoping that helped, he was back to another problem. He really wanted his sickle back. He also wanted to put the poor mindless thing out of its misery. He quickly brought his blade through where its heart should be. Much to his disappointment, it kept moving. Kiru sighed a bit, and leaving the sword pinned in its chest, managed to remove his sickle from its body. Slipping it back on its belt, he turned to Einn. "So, as you're probably the person to ask. Do these things die? Or do we have to blow up its corpse, or put seasalt in its mouth?"
Those were the only two methods he had really heard of, so he hoped the woman had a good solution.

"I'm not entirely sure", Einnashe replied as she drew her blade from the undead's arm, being certain to detach its wrist at the arm so that its blade could not be flung about to attack. Afterward she picked up the sword and glanced it over to decide if it was worth carrying along while stepping away from the now free undead knight. The new sword went on her belt for future use.
"Try removing its head and find out."
Einna returned to the cover of the vegetation. She only turned once to look to Kiru as if to suggest for him to follow. It was only then that she noticed Tatyana was no where to be found. She clicked her tongue and decided to quietly keep looking for her while pushing their way forward...as while they were running out of time, they also could not just leave people behind without concern. With hope that stubborn woman wouldn't be in any particular trouble when she was found or wandered her way back.
She'd only slow when she saw another wandering undead knight making its way through the patrol. It looked confused like it was searching for something. Seeing this lead her to believe that perhaps, while their intelligence was indeed limited, they still had fairly decent awareness. So she decided to give something a shot.
While closing in on the wandering knight she noticed a gap in the bushes where the previous undead knight once stood. From afar she could see what looked like Tatyana on the furthermost part of the garden. She was making a little noise in those bushes...so she thought it best to see if the knight would notice her, and act on it if she did. Whether it did or didn't she'd wait on Kiru to ensure at least one of the people she was with was certainly with-in arm's reach.
Kiru quickly took the his blade and brought it down quick and smooth, the undead guards head bouncing away. He followed Ein, and crouched by her. He noticed she was looking towards the edge of the garden, where he could slightly see Tatyana. He then noticed another guard, and wondered if it could hear the girl. If it did, he could easily make another surprise attack. With this in mind, he readied his sickle.
