"Jared the Black" Side Story: Quest for the Legendary Sword
Rules: No one questing for the Tolgrim may involve themselves in this quest. Anyone not seeking the Tolgrim is welcome to make an appearance. Anyone wishing to appear in this Side Story must exit the main quest. They can later leave the Side Story and return to the main quest as well. The main characters involved thus far are Red DeLuce and Son Goku.
Red and Goku arrive at the base of Devil's Claw.
RED: "...phew... that thing is HUGE!"
Red produces the music box from his satchel, and attempts to turn the crank.
RED: "Hn? It's stuck! It won't even play! Now what?"
Red looks around the base of the Devil's Claw and notices a doorway.
RED: "Hey, this way should lead us inside."

GOKU: "Ah, it's broken!"
The youkai throws his arms up over his head, convinced the old man had swindled them. He quickly pushes that idea away, being as they didn't have to pay for the music box. He then glances over at the doorway Red had pointed out.
GOKU: "Oh, that was easy!"
He trots over there along with Red, then glances over at him.
GOKU: "So um... do we just knock, Red-sama?"
He waits briefly, hardly enough time for Red to respond. He eagerly knocks on the door. Hard. The third time his hand connects with the door, it swings open. Goku just stares at it for a moment, and puts his arms behind his back. Grinning nervously at Red, hoping he didn't do anything wrong.

Red draws his trusty sword and shield and pokes his head in the door.
RED: ".......hm... awful dark in here..."
He chunks the tip of his sword into the ground just outside of the door and removes a lantern from his belt. He lights it and places his shield across his back again.
RED: "Guess we'll have to hope for the best then, huh?"
He retrieves his sword, and slides it back into his scabbard not thinking much of anything will happen.
Upon entering a small boxs is laying on the ground. Red opens it and finds a compass.
RED: "....is there something cliché about all of this, or is it just me?"

Goku just glances about in the darkness, not having any trouble seeing. He watches as Red produces the compass. He stares at it for a moment, before hopping up and down for it.
GOKU: "Ooh, ooh!! Lemme see!"
Goku takes the compass from Red, and inspects it. Losing interest, he hands it back to Red. He stares at the empty box, and produces his Nyoibo. He prods the box with it for several long moments, accompanied with an awkward silence. He then glances around in the darkness.

Red: "...well, we're not gonna get anywhere just standin' around, are we?"
A voice comes from behind the two.
?-?-?-?: "So you're here for the Legendary sword, hm. Cute."
The source of the voice steps inside the door, and into the light of the lantern. It is none other than Mash.
RED: "....you! Look, we don't want any trouble, so just back off!"
MASH: "I'm not looking for trouble. I just want to see it."
RED: "...see what?"
MASH: "I want to see the object hidden in this tomb. The reason why my sword was forged. I've known so little about it up until recently. Now I know why it exists. Even more, now I know it's name. It's funny. I hadn't figured this to be a legendary weapon, I had just assumed it was for battle."
RED: ".......I see. So we're on a truce?"
MASH: "I have no quarrel with either of you. I don't even want the sword. I just want to see it. Now come on and let's find it so I can be satisfied."

Sarada wanders in the open door, staying in the shadows and in her small form. She listens and watches Red, Mash and Goku, her dragon eyes seeing perfectly well in the dark. She knew Mash had been there, but she was more concerned about not being seen by any one of them. She moved along the wall, to a statue hidden in the darkness. She climbed up the back of it, trying to not make her claws click on the stone or scrape it to give away her position. She hid behind the head, peeking out to watch the three.

?-?-?: "Hello... good seeing you." Behind them, Sull has appeared. Sull: "Sorry, the winds are corrupted, so it took me a while to get here. I'd ask the wind for help, but..." He thinks a moment. Sull: "You know about the prophet, right?" Sull tries to reach out to the wisp, trying to ask him whether or not the wind is still corrupted...

MASH: "That Prophet is no prophet at all. He speaks only lies. Glorifying such a wicked blade. He intends to possess it himself."
Mash looks away from Sull, and over to Red.
RED: "But now we're here to find th' REAL Legendary sword."
MASH: "Assuming it exists."
RED: "Yeh...."
Red pulls the music box from his satchel once again, and looks it over in a dumbfounded manner.
RED: *sigh* "Anyway, let's get this over with."
MASH: "......no....hang on."
RED: "What....?"
MASH: "....something else is here also."
RED: "...oh?"
MASH: "....it's......so small too.....odd."
RED: "...small?"
MASH: "Yeh. Well, whatever. I'll give it five seconds to reveal itself, and then I start tearing this place apart."
RED: "How do you know anything is even here?"
MASH: "I can smell it. It's some kinda dragon or something...."
RED: "......oh."

Sull: "This 'prophet' corrupted the winds..." Sull nods as Mash speaks, and looks around. He takes his wind shape, just in case some unexpected attack is coming. Sull: "... we're looking for a small dragon?"

Sarada lets out an audiable sigh, even though she was small. Climbing over the shoulder of the statue, now making a little noise, she dropped to ground a good 3 meters away from them. She pulled the remainder of her mass from the Out, an retook her human form. Her clothing appeared as well.
SARADA: "Vell, I guess der ishh no more point in hidding."
Sarada stepped into their circle of light, slitted eyes looking at all of them.
SARADA: "I am.." The remainder of her words were in a very different voice and language that none of them could hope to understand. "But.. in Commun, call me Sarada."
OOC: spelling errors are there for a reason.))

Mash looks at her with a stupidifed look on his face.
MASH: "........huh?"
RED: ".....No... 'I guess der ish no more point in hidding' at all...."
Red looks around the room, noting the many paths available to them.
RED: "Well we have three different doors here.... So do we split up or check 'em out one at a time?"
MASH: "I'll check one out, and you guys groups together to check another one. I doubt we'll make it back to this foyer anytime soon, so just stick to that one path."
RED: "Eh, it's kinda dark in here... you gonna be ok without any light?"
MASH: "No, I have a lantern I found awhile back. That'll suffice. Alright everyone. Let's go to it."
Mash ignites his lantern and selects his path, leaving the others behind.
RED: "..........well, I guess we should check one out ourselves..... c'mon everyone."

Sull follows Red in his wind shape, moving above the others, causing a light breeze. Sull: "Any ideas what's waiting in here?" He once again tries to contact Sano's companion.

Goku looks at Sarada funny, then glances over at Red, with a curious expression.
GOKU: "Red-sama, why does she speak funny?"
He glances about in the darkness wihout any trouble. He watches Mash select his path, and venture on. Goku looks at Red, then at the various paths. He looks to be in deep thought for a moment or so, before suddenly crying out; as if he had just discovered something incredible.
GOKU: "Let's go down that one, Red-sama!!"
The youkai hops up and down, pointing down the path he had chosen. Dispite how it looked that he made a break-through, he had just randomly decided on a path....

Sarada sighed, and as quietly as possible, and when she was within the shadows of Red's torch, shifted to her half-dragon form, collecting the scales, wings, tail, horns and claws of her kin. She had been shifting for most of her life, and it was natural for her. Now, however, she would follow behind the group.
Sarada: "I sspeak sstrangly becauze I'm not vhat you vould call normal..."
It didn't matter to her that they understood what she said or not, even though her teeth were sluring her speech even more now. She then muttered something in draconic while folding her wings back and over her shoulder.

Red moves towards the path and enters the hallway.
RED: "Hm.. I wouldn't expect a whole lot of anything in this kinda place... I mean, what would be here?"
Red walks further down the hall with his lantern in front of him guiding his path.
RED: "Although I don't see why a Legendary sword would be left unguarded....huh....maybe we will encounter somethin' down here."
Red draws his sword with his left-hand, and carries the lantern with his right.
