Ocarina: The Afterthought
Ganondorf slowly moved along in his wheel chair beside me as we walked down the back alleys of Hyrule market. Ganondorf had been paralyzed from the waist down from our fight during the Dark Days (A/N: if you've read my story "Dark Days" you'll know what the Dark Days are).
Ganon sighed, looking over at the broken down shack and said, "I remember, back before the witches took me in, that my father would go into a sadistic rage. If I didn't have such bad eyes in my old age, I would swear you could see the rope marks on the window where I climbed down when he went into them…"
I replied to him, " don't remind yourself of the old days, embrace the new ones."
Ganon laughed at that and said, "I'm paralyzed, how the hell can I embrace them if everyday I need help to just get onto the shitter"
We continued walking in silence until I stopped and said, "I cried because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet." I nodded down the street at a legless beggar in an old wooden wheelchair with oval shaped wheels, as though he had been slammed into a wall.
I continued on, "this man would probably give up his religion to walk again, if even for a fleeting moment."
Ganon sighed, then said, "so what, he's more crippled than I am, where's your point?"
I said, "You have a much nicer wheelchair." And grinned grimly.
Ganon chuckled deeply and we continued walking. As we left the alley we walked into a noiseless, dark market, very few people came out at night now, so we walked back towards the castle.
