Gannondorf paced up and down a moon lit corridor. He looked angrier than the angriest man ever was. He was holding something that seemed to be glowing. The glow from the object in his hand did not exceed the light from the beautiful white moon. He walked pass a gargoyle with sad eyes who sat in the dark. The dark creature had wings with edges as sharp as the legendary severing blade itself. He had the body of a Halfling, half human and half gargoyle. He looked to his pacing master with a troubled expression.
"What is the matter my lord?" the dark creature asked timidly. "What troubles you?" He knew the answer, but he must ask. It was polite and the master required his servants to treat him like a king. Gannondorf was a king, one of the kings of darkness. There are many kings of darkness. They are scattered about the world casting out the light wherever they see fit. Gannondorf was one of the most resilient kings of darkness.
"Must the green hero always be reborn?" Gannondorf fumed. "Where has the new hero been born?" Gannondorf stopped and looked at the glowing stone in his palm. The stone was a small magic orb that showed a picture of two babies sleeping soundly. "Two? Why must the goddesses torment me?" The dark servant just shrugged and looked toward the twin moons.
"Hmm." The gargoyle thought aloud. "Twins born on a day with twin moons. If that is not coincidence I do not know what is." He jumped as Gannondorf laughed a laugh of triumph out of the blue. "What master? Did you gather your wits and think of a plan?" Gannondorf gave his servant a glance and rasied his hand but decided not to slap his servant.
"You must take them as newborns, Tygor." Said Gannondorf. "It is what must be done. Maybe I can finally have my victory."
"Take them as newborns, my lord?" asked Tygor. Tygor was not a murderer of children but he must do what the master says, even if he does not approve. These children were princes-royalty! And what would he do with these children? Will he kill them or enslave them? "Is that your command, sire?" He asked, but again he knew the answer.
"That is what I command you, now go! Do it while the castle sleeps." And with that the dark creature took his leave.
Tygor snuck into the castle with stealth. He knew the room in which both the princes slept. He first scaled the wall and made it on to the floor needed. The guards were not easy to evade but his dark skin helped him blend in with the darkness. Taking refuge in the shadows he slowly made it into the room he desired. The room was bathed in the colors blue and yellow. Children's toys were cast all over the room. But overall it was clean. Moon light shone cleanly through the window making Tygor's form visible. He walked over to the double basset that held the princes.
Both were boys with beautiful blond hair and fair skin. Also, Tygor noted their ears were those of a full Hylian. They were complexly identical, and blessed by the twin moons. They slept soundly, not noticing the figure that loomed above them.
Tygor reached in to take the first babe. As he lifted the child ever so gently he noticed the necklace hanging from his neck. Tygor craned his neck to read it. It said the child's name: Dimitri. Dimitri was this child's name. He read the other baby's name tag: Samuel.
Tygor shifted his arms to make sure Dimitri was comfortable. He did not want either baby to wake. He reached for the other child but stopped as he heard the door handle turn. Someone was coming to check on the babies. Probably the queen. What mother doesn't want to see their newborn babies sleep after being in the womb for so long? Or maybe it was a guard. It didn't matter; he needed to get out of there fast.
Faster than the door could open Tygor was on the roof of the castle outside. He flinched and covered Dimitri's ears as he heard a screech. It was a woman who seemed. Guards flooded into the room asking what was wrong. She showed them the vacant bed where a baby once lay and they searched franticly, looking high and low. But their kidnapper had already flow away into the cold dark night.
