A Shadow's Fire
Chapter 1: Wounded
"I will not be your puppet!" I screamed.
"You don't seem to get it, Dark Link, you've no choice. I created you, you belong to me and must do as I say!"
"Ganondorf, maybe you created me but surely you thought about the problems of giving me my own emotions ahead of time."
"Of course, I did." Ganondorf sneered. "It is no different then a young adult defying their parents! You will listen to me, or…" He formed a ball of dark magic in his hand. "I will make you listen."
I drew out my sword.
Ganondorf laughed. He paused and then threw his magic at me, faster than I was ready for.
"Ah!" I tried to dodge but his magic followed me. It was too fast. I ran for the window. If needed, I would jump out the window into the dark river flowing behind the castle down to Lake Hylia. I jumped and crashed through the colored glass but the magic still hit me. My whole body seared with pain. Then as I was falling into the water, all went dark.
When I woke up I was laying washed up on Hylia beach. I stood up slowly but then I fell over and landed hard on my seat. I felt dizzy and nauseated. I looked down. Blood oozed from my chest, courtesy of Ganondorf's magic. I felt faint. I knew I needed help, but who was going to help Dark Link? Out of the corner of my eye I saw a familiar horse. My horse. That was the one thing I had to thank Ganondorf for. He had thought it important that I had a horse so he gave me Starry, who he had not cared for. She was black with a few white stars on her forehead. Her mane and tail were also white.
She worriedly nudged my face with her own. I had enough strength to crawl onto to her back and lay in the saddle. She begin to walk on her own. She knew I was hurt and I knew I could trust her to take me to good help…Though I admit, I doubted any would help me.
I shut my eyes for awhile and didn't open them again until she stopped. But I had grown weaker and when I opened them, my vision was so blurred I could not tell where I was. I slid off the saddle and leaned all my weight on her. I was now fighting just to stay conscious. I could make out movement coming towards me. I hoped it was friendly. Then I collapsed onto the ground…
