(For Assassins of Hyrule only)
Elye picked up the daggers. He didn't think he would actually find them but yet here they were. He thought about home and slashed at the air like his Twili friend had told him. The air tore open and looked to be a portal floating there. Elye was amazed at what just happened. But he wanted to get out badly. He put his hand in the portal to make sure it was safe. Since his hand was still there and there wasn't any pain, he decided to go all the way into it.
When he was completely inside, he started flying at a really high speed. He was feeling stretched out and was getting dizzy. then he could see light in front of him; growing larger and larger. The closer he got to the light the more blinding it became. The next thing he knew he was falling towards ground. The ground had grass on it... It had been a while since the last time he had seen grass. He then remembered what was happening as he tumbled across the ground.
He rolled a few times before sliding on his stomach. That sure was a ride... He rolled over to see his portal closing and kind of felt sad that he was leaving it even though he was a prisoner there. At this point he realized how tired and weak he was. He tried to get up but he didn't have the energy. He rolled over to see where he was at and could see a building. His vision started to fade and he started getting woozy. He saw a figure exit the building and start to walk towards him. He lost all consciousness and blacked out.

Argoth pulled the string of his bow back to his cheek. Determination and focus was all that was in his eyes as they calculated his shot. Sweat trailed down the sides of his head; streaking from temple to chin. When he released the arrow it found its mark directly in the chest of the wooden dummy that was set up in the training room. The very center of the dummy's chest, where the arrow had struck, was riddled with indents from where Argoth had repeatedly hit it. Seconds later another arrow was released finding its mark in between the eyes Argoth's target. The assassin let out a long held breath and dropped his bow to his side. It had been a long time since he had used a bow and it felt like he was returning home after an extended vacation. The shear familiarity of it was enough to bring back all the good memories he had while using it.
"Well, that's good for now." Argoth breathed, turning around to swipe a towel off a nearby table. He wiped his face down and slung the towel over his shoulders as he walked out into the main hall. The assassin was headed back to his room for a good nights sleep when he heard..well..rather felt..the energy of something rather powerful just outside the lair. Curious, Argoth headed to the entrance to investigate. On his way out his mind wandered aimlessly about what the disturbance could possibly be. It could just be some Gerudo who happened to find the lair, and were playing with some magical device they shouldn't be. Or maybe it was nothing and he was just being paranoid. Then his mind wandered back to the days when he knew Kalathor and Morizon, before the two of them had mysteriously gone missing. When he thought about it the energy that he felt was rather similar to what the two of them used. Could it be another twili invasion? Out of pure paranoia and excitement he grabbed another arrow from the quiver that rested upon his back. Knocking the arrow into its place upon his bow he exited the assassins lair and aimed at...a boy.
What he had felt was indeed twili magic, but what he had expected to find was definitely not a person. Argoth lowered his bow and began to walk toward the person who had fallen out of the portal, which had snapped shut. However, before Argoth could talk to the newcomer he took one look at him and passed out. "Must have taken a lot out of him." Argoth assumed. Crouching down beside the young lad Argoth began inspecting him, attempting to figure out if he was friend or foe. Nothing seemed to be on him, well, two daggers but other than that he was wearing a large tattered cloak and some torn pants. This guy didn't seem like a threat to him, and if his instincts told him he was alright, then he probably was. Most of the time Argoth followed his gut feeling anyway. Better get him inside, he thought to himself.
About ten minutes later and Argoth had put the stranger on the couch out in the main chamber and waited for him to awaken. To pass the time he began restringing his bow.

Elye slowly regained consciousness and slowly opened his eyes. He had no memory of where he was at. He found himself on a...couch? He hadn't seen a couch since before he was imprisoned. He wasn't back home, but he definitely wasn't in the Twili Realm. What happened and where am I? He thought to himself.
He looked around the room a little but. His eyes fell upon a man sitting in the corner. The man was wearing a cloak with a hood so Elye could not see his face. The man was doing something with a bow.
Elye started to get up but then found that it was a terrible idea. His whole body was sore from his toes to his neck. He remembered when he was imprisoned and had felt worse so decided that what he was feeling now was nothing. He pulled himself up to a sitting position. His stomach rumbled quite loudly. But much to his surprise, the man didn't hear it. Well, if he did, he didn't show that he heard it.
Elye decided he should speak to the man to figure everything out. "Sir?" he said in a weak voice.

Blade looked over to the couch. It seemed Argoth's guest was stirring. Not willing to take himself away from his paperwork, he called to Argoth.
"Hey Argoth, he's waking up." Blade and Argoth had already learned a little about the man. He was a Subrosian, and his daggers were Twili in origin. How he came about them, they didn't know, but they would soon find out.

Garen strode into the chamber shortly after Blade's call. He held a bottle of fresh water in his right hand for the twili stranger. In the other hand, a red potion, for severe injuries. When he reached the couch, the man already sat up with traces of soreness.
Garen quickly studied him, "A Subrosian with twili powers... interesting," he thought. "Don't move too much, you can barely sit up," Garen advised. He handed the Subrosian the two bottles, "Drink, they'll restore your strength.
He sat himself down in a nearby chair and asked in a friendly tone, "Who are you? How did you get here?"

"Hey Argoth, he's waking up" said a voice, but it wasn't the man with the bow. There was someone else in the room and Elye never even knew it.
He turned his head to see someone walking towards him with water and what looked to be a potion. "Drink, they'll restore your strength." Elye took the liquids thankfully and he gulped down the water. He didn't realize how thirst he actually was. He then hesitantly drank the potion. It tasted kind of bad but he didn't care. After a few seconds his soreness amazingly went away. It also got rid of his hunger a little. That was...strange he thought to himself.
"Who are you? How did you get here?" Said the one that brought the drinks. Elye realized that it wasn't the same voice he had earlier. So does this mean that there are 3 people in here? The third man can't be too hard to find.
"Oh, right. I guess you guys might want some answers. I would like some also but I'm not really in a position to be asking questions at the moment. My name is Elye. I..." He decided he should spare them the details of his imprisonment. And maybe he should keep the powers of the daggers quiet. "I came from the Twili Realm. I don't know how but there was a portal in front of me and when I stepped into it I ended up here" he lied. He patted himself for his daggers. He couldn't find them anywhere. He looked on the floor around the couch. They weren't there either. He started to panic. "Do you...do you have my daggers?" He asked while trying to keep a calm tone.

"Of course." Blade said, digging them out from beneath the parchments. "After all, we couldn't have you shifting around on them and cutting yourself." He said in a friendly tone. He grabbed them and tossed to Elye, sideways. Arming him wasn't the best idea, that was true enough, but Garen, Blade, and Argoth together could handle the Subrosian, enchanted daggers or no. "Those are pretty dangerous weapons, though. Keep them visible here. Among assassins, there's no greater insult than hiding a blade in their presence."

"Alright, I understand." Elye replied back. He finally found who the third voice belonged to. He willingly handed weapons to Elye so these men obviously didn't want to harm or kill him, and the obviously didn't think of him as a threat. "I don't think I'll have a problem keeping the weapons visible because I don't have anywhere to hide them" he said while motioning to his tattered clothes. "Oh, and I'm sorry for how I look; Sadly I've had to wear these same clothes for about 9 years. I've tried to clean and mend them as much as possible but I haven't really had many chances to do so..." He bowed his head as if in shame. "Where am I, might I ask?"

Argoth had finished restringing his bow by the time Garen had showed up and he set it next to him on the couch. So, he came from the twili realm, although his story seemed too simple to be what actually happened. Argoth decided not to bring it up now though, the last thing the guy wanted was to explain himself after a night like his. "Already got something for you," he responded Elye's clothing situation. Argoth reached over to his left lifting up a black cloak much like his tattered one and tossed it to him. It was stark black with the Assassins of Hyrule insignia branded over the left breast. "You're in the Assassins of Hyrule hideout. You popped out of that portal right outside. Do you know how to use those daggers?" Argoth asked, implying something he hoped Blade and Garen would agree with.

Elye caught the cloak. He looked at the insignia in awe for a second and ran his fingers down it. He decided that changing into the cloak right now wouldn't be a good time so he looked back up at the assassin.
"You're in the Assassins of Hyrule hideout."The assassin told him. Hyrule? I've never even heard of Hyrule. How far away from Subrosia am I? He thought to himself.
"Do you know how to use those daggers?" The assassin asked.
"Well, I've never used any weapon before, but I don't think it would be too hard to learn how to use daggers." Elye responded. "Would you be willing to teach me?"

Argoth smiled at the Subrosian, He catches on quickly, he thought. Argoth had every intention of trying to recruit Elye, he saw something in him that he hoped the others had as well. "That cloak wasn't just a gift, Elye, it was an initiation. If you wish, I would like you to join us here at the Assassins of Hyrule." He knew it was a rather hasty decision, Argoth had only known Elye for less than ten minutes, but there was something...he just couldn't put his finger on it, that intrigued him about the newcomer. "If you so wish I and the others will train you as one of us. What do you say?"

"I could train him as far as those daggers go." Blade offered. "How about you, Garen? Fancy teaching him how to teleport?"

"My use of portals are from my bloodline," Garen answered. "But who knows? Maybe conjuring portals works universally. In any case, I'll see what I can teach him." He didn't know why, but Garen was getting the same vibe as Argoth; Elye has potential.

"That cloak wasn't just a gift, Elye, it was an initiation. If you wish, I would like you to join us here at the Assassins of Hyrule. If you so wish I and the others will train you as one of us. What do you say?" Elye became enthralled when he heard this. But before he could accept, one of the other assassins agreed to help with training Elye to use the daggers. Elye would finally learn how to use weapons.
"How about you, Garen? Fancy teaching him how to teleport?" The assassin asked. So the assassin that brought the water was named Garen. It seemed like a strange name but Elye hadn't heard too many names so for all he knew it could be a popular name. Elye figured that he should probably figure out what the names of the other two assassins were before he had to awkwardly ask them later.
Well I don't have anywhere else to go so I guess this is my best option He decided that he should join them. Who knows, maybe he could be the best assassin there is. "I accept your invitation and I would be honored to join you three, but before I join I would like to know who I'm joining? I already know this is Garen," he said pointing to Garen (obviously), "but I haven't figured out who you two are yet."

"My name is Argoth," he replied, standing up from the couch. "Alright, I'm going to sleep now. The showers are that way," Argoth pointed down the corridor behind Elye, "First door on the left. You might wanna get yourself cleaned up, you look like hell." Argoth began walking down the hallway to the left making his way to his chambers. "Get read, Elye, your training starts tomorrow."
