Reign Of Twilight

by Skyward Rose

Every night, Zelda has vivid nightmares, full of darkness and horror. She used to think they were harmless but when her dreams start to appear in her life, she has to make a impossible sacrifice... Will update as much as possible. Rated T for violence and gore

"What is your choice Princess?" his cold voice pierced the depths of my heart.

"Surrender now and become one with the twilight" he licked his lips with a bloodthirsty cackle "or refuse and let your people be ripped limb from limb." Not a choice. A threat.

"Why would I consider giving my Kingdom over to a dictator?" I kept calm but my voice was frail compared to his cruel shriek. I was shaking.

"Again, Princess consider my offer before you act"

At his command, a single beast of shadow separated from the crowd. I hid my eyes as he lunged for a defenceless guard's throat. Nayru save his soul. The screams were audible from even the sacred realm. It was a promise; people will die if you refuse. And you will hear their screams.

I knew my decision.

I turned to face the army before me. I didn't dare look at the splattered blood and body parts that littered the floor.

"Surrender or Die?" his last sickening offer.

All was silent as my sword clattered on the floor. One by one, my remaining guard did the same.

The usurper king laughed at my defeat.

Twilight began to cover the land in a disgusting shroud. My people never knew.

A single tear fell from my eye as I was lead away.

I promise you princess. There will come a time when you meet the shadows again. When that day comes, the twilight princess will stand by your side and deliver the first blow. The shadows will fall and light will rise again. And your only weapon? A tear, shed for the forsaken kingdom.
