Aniki sat atop a small knoll near the main road, where she crossed her legs and leaned back onto her palms. She was savouring the morning breeze and taking delight in the sea of green that whispered comfortingly to her. Off in the distance, she could see Lon Lon Ranch...but there was no hurry in her.
Her earlier hunger gone, the girl decided she wished to enjoy her solitude for a moment more before continuing to her originally intended destination.
((This post is merely for my re-orientation, because I got a little lost after the short episode in Hyrule Castle Town. I don't know what to do next, so I'll set Aniki here, just south of Hyrule Castle and north of Lon Lon Ranch.))

Mammoth sighed. He was hungry and tired.
He had quite a journey. His travels took him from the Goron City in Termina to Hyrule Field. He passed through the Clock Town gateway and arrived at the base of Death Mountain. He took a deep breath and wandered around for the first time in Hyrule. Mammoth spotted some lights in Kakariko City, and he decided spent the night there. A Great Fairy appeared to him in a dream and informed him that he was chosen to be one of the great fighters in the Battle Arena. He was so excited about his chance to become his city's next warrior that he forgot to ask where to go or what to do. The next morning, he was determined to find out exactly what was going on. He packed up his things and walked out of the city toward Hyrule Castle.
That brings us to his current position, next to a tree in the northern part of Hyrule Field. With the sight of Hyrule Castle giving him motivation, he started rolling full speed in its direction. Recklessly, he plowed through some knolls. Unfortunately, he didn't notice a lady sitting on one of them. Mammoth cut out the knoll from underneath her without realizing what just occurred.

Aniki could hear a rumbling coming toward her. It was faint, but the vibrations of the object's motion caused the ground to tremble beneath her. She lifted her head, amethyst eye squinting as she watched a large dark object tearing towards her at frightening speeds.
...So bewildered was she that for a moment she didn't move.
It was only until the last second that she leapt to her feet, ready to leap away...but she was too late.
FWUMP
Like a muffled explosion, the knoll was blasted by this speeding object. The earth beneath Aniki was blasted away, and the woman screamed as she felt the ground she stood on rise slightly before caving in on itself.
Dazed the girl lay staring up at the sky.
Then, without warning a look of rage crossed her face. Sitting up like a bolt, Aniki turned to scream at the rolling object as it continued its way.
"Am I not allowed a moment's peace!?

Hearing someone's voice behind him, Mammoth screeched to a halt and got on his feet. He sheepishly turned and around and started apologizing.
"I'm sorry, miss, I'm so sorry goro, if I had known someone had been up there goro-" he stopped. He could sense something about this person.
"You're in the Battle Arena goro!! So am I goro!!" He had a triumphant look on his face which faded into a confused expression. "What is the Battle Arena anyway goro?"

Aniki gaped at the large Goron that stood before her. His eyes gazing at her apologetically as he tried to make amends. Meanwhile, the Sheikah's body froze as something clicked in her head, just as before back at the Castle Town.
"I'm sorry, miss, I'm so sorry goro, if I had known someone had been up there goro-"
The Goron stopped, a thoughtful look on his face. Then his expression brightened. "You're in the Battle Arena goro!! So am I goro!!"
Aniki blinked up at him, both intimidated by his size as well as the fact that he was also a part of this...'battle arena'.
Her tension eased slightly at his next question.
"What is the Battle Arena anyway goro?"
The young woman scratched the back of her head, her gaze lowering. "I...um...I don't know."
Grunting, Aniki stood to her feet, wobbling slightly as the dirt and loose grass shifted beneath her. Shoulders hunched about her ears, the woman looked up at the Goron meekly. "So you...had the same dream? The Great Fairy approached you?"

"Yes, that's correct goro.. Unfortunately, I didn't ask any questions about it goro. Oh, excuse me, my name is Mammoth. A pleasure to meet you goro..." he said as he attempted to bow. "I was on my way to Hyrule Castle to see if the Royal Family knew anything about this Battle Arena goro."

Aniki bowed as well, though she did it in the fashion taught to her by her elders. Raising her left hand, the girl closed her eyes and pressed the edge of her hand against her brow, crossing her right arm over her chest and grabbing onto her upper left arm. It was a polite gesture, meant to show that she was not concealing any weapons.
Still bowing, the girl introduced herself. "My name is Aniki Veliz of the Sheikah clan. I've come here to..." and at this she faultered.
Eyes blinking open, the girl straightened and scratched the back of her head again. "Well its a difficult thing to explain..." she finished lamely.

Mammoth raised his hand in a stopping motion. "There is no need to explain yourself, Aniki Veliz of the Shiekah clan goro. All that matters is that we have a common goal now: The Battle Arena goro. If you wish to accompany me, you may, however I am leaving now goro. Bear in mind goro, whatever this Battle Arena is, I will do my best to succeed."

Aniki faultered. "You say you're going to Hyrule Castle?" the young woman bit her lip and looked down at the ground.
The Goron seemed a respectable being, and at the least, the Sheikah would not dislike his company...however, his destination was a place she did not wish to return to. The people of the town hated her, and the guards probably were on the lookout for her. But at the same time, Mammoth was off to speak to the Royal Family...Aniki had heard her elders speak of them many a-times with ambiguous feelings. Perhaps...it was time to make her own opinion.
...At any rate, she really did want to know what all this "Battle Arena" business was about.
Raising her head, Aniki nodded. "If you would not mind, I would like very much to go with you."

"Very well, let's go. I'll just walk so I don't get too far ahead of you goro."

x-posted to Hyrule Castle
(Yes but I didn't want to make a post in case you had something in mind to happen to them along the way. If you want to change this post to go ahead.)
Mammoth spoke to the guards at Hyrule Castle briefly before they allowed them entry. Two of the guards served as escorts and led them to Princess Zelda in the courtyard. She was singing softly to herself and didn't notice them arrive.
One of the guards said, "Your Highness! Visitors are here to see you!"
"Thank you, guards. You may leave now."
The guards saluted and went back to their posts.
"What is the nature of your visit, adventurers?"
Mammoth bowed and said, "Your Highness, I'm known as Mammoth and this is Aniki Veliz goro. We have both received dreams in which a Great Fairy informed us that we are to become contestants in the Battle Arena goro. Unfortunately, neither of us know what this Battle Arena is or what it entails goro. Can you help us goro?"
Princess Zelda was nonplussed. She slowly started to tell them everything about the Battle Arena (everything on the Rules page at least) and what it meant to be a part of it. Mammoth was stunned and didn't speak for a few moments.
"Thank you, Princess. We'll be going now." he said and bowed. He nudged Aniki and walked outside of the Castle.
"Do believe this goro? We can't die goro! We can transform goro! This is just the kind of thing that will make me be remembered just like Darmani goro." Mammoth said excitedly.
