Hey, guys and welcome to Sewing Time: Embodiments of Evil. First off, I'd just like to say that if you haven't read Threads of Fate or Spirits of the Past, then please do so right now. Thank you. From here on, I'll assume that you did read those ones. Now, just so you know, the pattern of PoV switches is still staying the same and I have a special surprise for you people at the end. Anyway, I feel that it's only fair to let you know that Embodiments of Evil is the last entry in the Sewing Time trilogy. Therefore, without further ado, let's delve into this last entry head first! :D


Prologue:

I was created for no other reason than to serve my master. Like them, the two of us wished for time to be sewn back together. Yet, for different reasons. For freedom? For magic? For technology? Pah! All that I want is to serve my master under his reign of darkness. He will build a kingdom of order, where only those like us exist. Although it'll mean sacrificing the lives of all the hylians, it won't matter. My master has made the demand, though, for a specific item. I guess it's my turn to go looking for an ancient weapon…


Chapter 1:To Become Stronger

Ever since life returned to at least somewhat of normalcy, I had trained myself as much as I could. Sometimes, I had to thank the fact that life with Zelda was actually pretty boring, because it gave me the excuse to make myself stronger. I knew that I had to be, if I was to even help take down dark Link. One day, one of the other hylians asked me if the other Links trained as much as I did. Thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that they probably didn't, but I wasn't going to say that. In fact, I told him that they trained about twice as much as I did.

He seemed to doubt it, but he didn't pry any further. I had noticed that the other hylians, who were once slaves, seemed to have much more confidence than I did. However, I figured that that was because they had almost nothing to worry about, like I did. They were preparing an uprising that would free all of the slaves. Yet, it all relied on the other Links and me. The plan was that the three of us would sew time back together, and then the other dimensions would send armies to back us up!

The only problem was sewing time. We were finally capable of doing it, but it would be ridiculously stupid to actually go ahead and do it at that point. After all, dark Link was just waiting there to destroy everything once we did. He needed to be eliminated as soon as possible… oh, and his master too. In order to do that, though, I needed to become stronger so that I wouldn't hold the other Links back.

Therefore, I trained every aspect of myself. I spied on the other hylains using the beetle, I practiced chaining my movements together with my two hookshots (making sure that I didn't touch the ground), and I even trained with my deku mask, thus making me lose most of my fear of the darn thing. Sure, I didn't have the most destructive, or even effective for that matter, weapons when compared to the others, but if I could be strong, then I could be useful. Throughout this, it occurred to me that I had never really cared about being more useful than what would keep me alive before.

Frankly, I hadn't really cared much about anything before meeting with the other Links for the first time. Yet, I still tried my best. Eventually, I began to truly care about everything, simply because it was not for my personal sake. Instead, it was for the sake of all of the other hylians, whether they were in a safe haven under Zelda, or still out there being abused and killed for the smallest of things. I figured that what they said was true: some people exist solely for the sake of others, and others alone.

Some of the hopeful slaves were taught that, just to give them the illusion that existed solely for their masters, and that that was their destiny in life. Heck, even I was taught that when I asked why things were the way they were. I never bought it, but I nodded my head in submission, wondering what it actually meant. Then, after all that I had gone through with the other Links, I knew the true meaning… and that I really was one of those people.
