The flickering flames caused the shadows to dance as if they had a mind all their own while they begun to rise up slowly towering over Kaythenia; the darkness engulfing the mage it slowly formed into a feminine figure adorned with a gold and black evening gown with a matching headdress and mask that covered her piercing crimson eyes. A smile curled around her luscious lips as she slid her dainty hands around her victim's neckline, holding out her hand the darkness swirled around her fingertips before forming an ornate dagger. Swiftly pulling the dagger close the mysterious woman held the razor's edge to Kaythenia's neck a seductive voice rang out.

"You should be worried about yourself girl. I almost had Sir. Raven here dead to rights until you had to go and spoil my fun. No matter you shall serve my purpose none the less."

With a swift motion she held the red headed girl close pressing the knife against her vital veins. "You may have vanquished the dragon but you were foolish to bring an alley into our little game. You know what happens to your comrades that get caught up in our little dance. Surrender unto me the golden power or her blood shall forever stain your hands, could you live with yourself after that lover? Knowing you let somebody who risked their life for you die because you were hoarding all that delicious power to yourself. You've already got that bloody sword, now share your toys." She said with a slight pout before licking her lips knowing she had backed her enemy into a corner.

Cia wanted to wait until a more dramatic time of the night to unleash her plague but it had seems the little mind mage had forced her hand. She was furious that Vaati had swept away those she promised to save and to make matters worse he alerted the hero to her scheme. No matter it was all trivial in the end as she would put her plan into action now. The clouds covered the moon ensure no light would break through the heavens above as a black fog rolled in from over the hills. This fog was thick and almost impossible to see through and to make matters worse it traveled to the town on a cold wind. The chilling winds blew the flames flicking within the lanterns out eliminating any protection the people of Hyrule Castle had against evil entities and curses. The fog rolled in slowly at first causing people to pause but panic soon followed, it seemed unnatural and almost sentient as it went about engulfing the town. The black mist started slowly enveloping the town from the outside forming a circle that slowly got smaller and smaller. Those who were caught in the nightmare mist fell to the ground and begun to break out into violent coughing fits. Those who were unaffected stayed behind to help their friends and slowly started to suffer the same fate; seeing this those who were wiser ran to the center of town screaming wanting to avoid the same fate as the others.

That wouldn't be the end of the fogs effects however, once the fits of coughing had ended the people afflicted began coughing up blood and what came next could only be described as unspeakable acts of evil. Those stricken ill by the fog would have their healthy bodies morph and violently contort into an anorexic frame with equally as horrifying decaying skin; their faces hidden behind wooden masks that manifested thanks to whatever magic was causing this. These newly twisted creatures that strongly resembled Zombies or Redeads would moan and howl as they dragged what little of the unaffected townsfolk into the fog to join them. To make matters worse the fact the festival had concluded early angered the dead and the souls of the dead began to float about the town whaling aiding the walking corpses in adding to their numbers. There was a small area at the center of town where the survivors were gathering to escape fog, that would be the safest place for now.

Despite being in the woods far away from town that same seductive voice echoed within Vaati's mind. "Don't think yourself clever, you've only hastened their demise and saved a handful of people. By the time this night is done, young mage YOU WILL REGRET YOUR ACTIONS!" And with that the voices stopped only leaving the evil fog to consume the castle capital of Hyrule.

A seductive voice smooth as velvet pried it's way inside the minds of the Gerudo,Twli Beast and Wind Mage. The voice had no visible source it only echoed inside their skulls, the words spoken seemed as if they were dripping with honey and venom all at the same time. "I call to those of you society shuns; those considered unfit or freaks, those with evil in their hearts. Listen and listen well, a storm is coming and I am your salvation. I can offer you safe passage and dominion over Hyrule; all you need is to accept my gift. The wind of death will sweep this town within the hour and only I can save you, simply speak the words my desire is unsated and I'll do the rest. I know what all of you are thinking, why should I algin with you? We are all alike in one regard, darkness is at the core of who we are. Sivilu you are a member of a race of all females thieves who long ago in ancient times served The King Of Evil; you cannot escape your heritage or what you are. You who have stepped out of the world of shadows and into the land of light; I sense a deep drive for power in your heart. You see how cruelly these people treat you? Brand you a monster and lead you to be locked away forever, I offer you sanctuary my brother and a place at my side." After talking to the first two there was a slight pause followed by a deafening silence.

After a time the voice spoke again this time it was a touch louder booming only within Vaati's head. "You my dear Vaati are the most interesting one of all. You protect your fellow dark dwellers and that is admirable; however I know your true nature. You've done things to even rival the great Ganondorf himself, you may have fooled yourself but you cannot hide your true colors from me. Inside you is a burning purple fire just begging to get out; join with me, my darling and we shall explore the darkest parts of your soul together. Anything you desire can be yours even that little bird that's always eluded your grasp......and if love isn't enough to sway you; I'm sure revenge against the haughty Sir. Raven for all your defeats in previous lifetimes will suffice." With that the voice faded and their minds again grew silent; that silence gave way the music and merry making breaking back in from the festivities around them.
