Even a Demon needs love
I need no friends...
I have the darkness to comfort me...
I need no lover...
All I have is hate...
I hate everything and everyone...
I have killed hundreds in the past, yet my blood thirst seems unquenchable..
I'll killed even the one who created me...the fool...
One day... I will kill everyone and unleash only darkness upon this world..
Yes..one day...I will be... the ultimate being... _ Dark Link
"Phew..that's the last one.." Zelda sighs.
"I don't understand why you have to go around looking for monsters for money! Don't you have better things to do?" Zeldas fairy, Helio asked. She swinged her sword over her shoulder and smirked at him.
"Oh come on Heli...You know I need money to but that awesome new sword at the bazarre and that stupid fat guy says it cost 300 rupees!" Helio sighs and flies around her head.
"But looking for trouble and getting rid of peoples monsters is just silly and reckless! Why can't you be more like-?"
"Don't you say it!" She snap. Helio just ignored her and flew high above your head.
"Why can't you be more like the legendary Link? He never did silly things like this! You need to get more serious Zelda!" She glare at Helio.
"Oh, be more serious so I can end up not saying a word! Just making grunts and noises that nobody can understand a word Isay! Just like the Legendary Link of Hyrule" She yelled. Helio sighs and flies back down and hovers by her ear.
"I don't mean like that..I mean you should be more careful and serious about what you do. This bounty hunter stuff is dangerous." Helio jingles. She swat him away.
"Yeah, yeah I know..But..I can't help it! I love danger and fighting monsters! And getting paid for it is the best part! In fact... I have to go tell that I defeated all the stalfos so that I can get my pay now!" She smirked and march her way back into the barn of LonLon Ranch.
" ! I defeated all the monsters like you asked me to!" She look around the barn but only see the weird cleaner in there. What was his name? ?
"Um..excuse me, ...?" she ask, approaching him.
"Clean for the fat man... Clean for the fat man...Clean for the fat man.." He murmured. She reach out and tap his shoulder.
"Um...sir...Whare is ?" she ask.
"He went to the bar." A soft voice says. She spin around and sees her friend Malon, smiling at her holding a bucket in her hands.
"Oh, hey Malon! Going to milk the cows?" Zelda ask. Malon nods and brushes some of her red hair back.
"Yep, you want any?" she asks. Zelda shakes her head.
"Nak.. I got to go to the bar so if I get thirsty, I'll just drink something there.." She say, heading back to the door. Malon nods and Zelda leaves the barn.
"Great..now we have to go to that smelly bar in castle town where all those weirdos hang out.." Helio sighs. Zelda shrug.
"I can't help that her father is a drinker..." she say. Helio swirls around her head and jingles in her face.
" Yeah but then you'll have to go IN the bar... I hate that place..." She smile and put her hands up to Helio.
"Don't worry Heli...everything will be okay.." And with that said, she head off to the bar in castle town.
- Time Skip -
She push the heavy bar door open and immediately the stench of alcohol and dirt hits her. She crinkle her nose in disgust and look around the bat. In the corner she spotted Talon, sitting at his table drinking away his consiciousness.
"There he is.." She whisper to Helio who just jingles in replay. She walks over to him and taps his shoulder.
"Um..excuse me...Talon, sir?" Talon sits up and smiles a drunken grin at her.
"Zelda! How them monsters coming?" he asks.
"Well...actually I'm here to tell you that I've gotten rid of them all.." she say. Talon laughs and reaches into his pocket to pull out a sac of money.
"That's great Zelda! Thanks a bunch, now I can get back home without worry!" he says, dropping the large sack of rupees in her hands. She grin and pull the draw string, opening the bag.
"Yes...200 rupees!" She yell in her head. She quickly close the bag and nods to Talon.
"Always a pleasure doing business with you!" She quickly run out the bar and to the bazarre next to it. She proudly march right up to the clerk and drop the sack on the counter, adding your additional rupees to it.
"Here you go! 300 rupees, carl!" she say. The clerk, carl, smirks and takes the rupees, giving her the large sword that she wanted.
"Here you go Zelda, but tell me. What's a young lady like you planning to do with that fine weapon?" he asks. She clip the sword to her belt and smirks at him.
"Use it ti lay more monsters duh.." Carl laughs at her.
"I told you, I saw him! He attacked me and a few other villagers!Please help me!" A voice rang out. Zelda and carl look back and see a man with cuts a bruises all over his body, pleading at anoher man. "Please help me!"
"I'm not crazy you fool! Why would I risk my life to kill him!"
"Aint nobody that brave to go hunt him down!"
"Your crazy old fruit case! Leave us alone!"
"Please! He's attacking my village! Soon he'll come here and kill everyone! Please help!"
"I said no" One man snapped.
"Who would be crazy anough to hunt down, practcally the devil himself! He's a demon! Anybody who would do that will be putting themselves in danger!"
"danger?" She wonder aloud.
"Ai... Zelda you haven't heard what's been happening?" Carl asks. She look at him and shake you head.
"No..what's going on?"
"Well... apparently.. there's a demon out west! He's been destroying villages and killing innocent people.. He takes the form of an actual human being.. the mighty savior in fact!"
"You mean...Link? The one from old folktales?"
"Ai.. except he wears all black! And his hair is as grey as smoke."
"Not to mention those blood red eyes!" The old man says, approaching her. " He's a demon, no.. He's the devil! He killed my family right in front of me! I barely managed to escape but he'll kill anything that moves!"
She blinks at the man the turn back to Carl.
"So..is there a reward for this guy's head?" She asks. Helio quickly appears and jingles in her face.
" Zelda are you mad?! Don't tell me that you're gonna go after this demon?!" he shouts. She grabs him and cup him in her hands.
"So is there?" She asks again. Carl nods.
"Ai! Be 100,000 Rupees in fact!" Her eyes widen.
"1-100,000 rupees? That's like a million!" She scream in her head and before she realized it, she were smiling at the men.
" I'll do it!"
"What?!" Helio screams. All the men look at her like she were crazy and to their knowledge.. she were.
"Zelda, you don't know what you're saying!"
"You? A girl? Facing the demon of the west? You'll be annihilated!"
"You're crazy!"
"Have you lost your marbles? Or do you have to many rupees in your ears?!" Doubt.. that's what she loved to hear. Doubt that she could do it and in turn, she ending up doing it and embarrassing them. She loved it.
"Yep! I shall kill this demon of the west and bring you his head!" she says, walking to the door. All eyes follows her to the door as she open it.
"Wait Zelda. You don't know what you're doing! You'll be killed!" Carl says but she weren't listening to him. She simply walk out the bar, disregarding the warnings.
"Zelda... I know what you're thinking.. you're thinking about all those Rupees but trust me, you don't know what you're getting yourself into! I've heard rumors about the devil of the west! He kills eveyone he comes in cantack with! He's an omen!" Helio yells but as usual she just swat him away.
"Helio.. just relax.. you know how villagers like to exaggerate sometimes.. Like how they do with Link. They call him lagendary like he's old and dead but he's very much alive!" Helio stops and stares at her.
"But.. we call him that too... and plus.. I don't really think those are the same thing.." She stops and think about it for a moment then shrug.
"Probably not.. but I'm still going for it.."
"Why are you so stubborn Zelda?"
"No! No please! I beg you!" Dark Link smirked. How he loved the cries for mercy from the villagers. They were so pathetic to him. Not one of them ever tried to fight back, They just let him kill them.
It was pathetic. How he did long for a least one villager to fight back. One person to try and stop him. But he never got it.. Not one person tried to stop his evil actions. In fact, instead of trying to stop him, they made him famous. The put his face up on wanted posters and told people from other villages about him.
He became known as a demon, the devil, an omen and even the grim reaper.
"Die.." He smirked, raising his sword and splitting the poor villager in half. Blood splatter his sword, clothes and face but he just licked it off his lips.
"Ah...another dead villager.. What to do next?" He wondered.
"Go out and look for a victim?" His dark red fairy asked. Dark Link looked at him and smirked.
"Good idea, I don't think I've killed enough yet.." Dark Link stepped over the eight bodies of a villager's family and walked out the village, setting it ablaze as he did.
She got a strange looks as the left Castle Town, Men tipped their hats off to her and some women waved small white flags, it was a little weird.
"Jeez..everyone is looking at me like I'm the funeral precession.." She whispers to Helio.
"Well you might as well be! You're walking straight into your demise Zelda!" Helio snapped, she rolled her eyes.
"Come on Helio... How bad can this guy possibly be? I mean he's in the form of a human right?"
"That dosen't mean anything! He's still dangerous! I wish Link were here to talk some sense into you!" She stops walking and glares at Helio.
"You know, If I'm so stupid and senseless, then go follow somebody else like Link then!" She snapped.
"I should since you're so suicidal apparently! I'm only following you because my friend Navi needed somebody to look after you!" Helio snapped back.
"Well tell her I don't need a babysitter! I can survive all on my own!" She yelled, storming away. Helio glared at her.
"Well fine! If you don't want me around I'll go! Have a good rest of your short life!" And with that she and Helio parted ways and she went westward all by herself.
