K, so this is my first Dark x Link fanfic. And I know probably only 4 out of all of you are gonna like this crap bucket, but let's do it anyway. Chapters after this one will be longer, this is just a prologue. Just so eveyone knows this is yaoi boy x boy mm whatevee you want to call it but just so you know it's a Dark x Link fanfic don't like don't read. *Cue awkward piece of information*

A ten gallon hat holds less then a gallon

Link used his hook shot to grab the thingy (how was he supposed to know the names of the temple bosses? That was Navi's job) and hit the amoeba with his sword once again. After hacking away at the monster it finally schreeched - which would remain a mystery to Link as it had no mouth - and the slimy water drained until that was left was a heart piece. Link jumped down off he platform and limped to the heart piece. Sighing in relief when it healed him.

He had been in the accuressed water temple for slightly longer then four days. Being forced to eat slighly moldy bread and stale water. Then of course there was that 'accident' (as Navi called it) with the longshot, where Link had wanted to test out how long his new toy was, and ended face planting into a wall when it retracted the chain, along with an unsuspecting hero. Though what stood out most in all his memories of this blue temple, was him.

He was exactly the same. Yet opposite at the same time. With dark skin and pure white hair, yet he had the exact same features. And fighting style. After mindlessly swinging his sword at his mirror image, he had finally decided to just use din's fire, still ignoring Navi's advice to use the goron hammer (he used the weapon as little as possible after 'accident #7' which he chooses not to explain unless he has to).

He couldn't help but wish things could have gone a better way. Without all this fighting and war. Though he was the hero, it was his job to make things right. And he promised he would.

Link looked towards the blue portal, praying to he godesses it wasn't who he thought it was. I mean, one deed. One heroic deed. Saving her from the inside of a goddess damned fish (which was her fault in the first place), and he has to put booby traps outside his treehouse. Which he took down after several hours when he was the only one to be caught by them (accident #5).

Crossing his fingers (1) he walked into the light.

And from the shadows, a dark being came to sit beside the temple guardian Morpha, and mourn for he loss of his sister. (2)

Seven years back in time (after the battle with Ganon and everyone is sent back in time)

"Who are they?"

"Who are who?"

"Those people there, with black skin and black and white hair. I always see them around the castle, working. They all have bright collars around their necks, even the kids, why?" An eleven year old Link asked, large blue eyes twinkling with curiosity.

"They are a race called the Morphas. In our language it means 'the shapeshifters', because they can transform into anything with their powers," Zelda replied.

"Wow! Could we talk to one?"

"No Link, they are dangerous, vile and evil creatures. They kill for fun and steal children away from their families. They were born with instincts to kill us and use magic to cause terror. They are incompatible with us, wrong pieces of the same puzzle,"

"If they don't belong here then why do they stay?"

"They are a danger wherever they live. They will not let anyone other then themselves live in peace. That's why we keep them here so they can't harm anyone. The light collars around their necks prevent them from using their magic to hurt people,"

"They can't all be like that, we should be friends with at least one of them,"

"No, stay away from them Link, don't talk to them, don't offer help to them, don't even look at them. I don't want to see you get hurt, so just ignore them," Zelda warned.

"Okay Zelda, I have to go now though, bye," and without waiting for her reply, he walked out of the garden, avoiding the Morphas watering the flower patches (and the flower pathes themselves remembering accident #14) but still taking note of how all of them were limping, and looked starved and broken, no sparkle in their eyes.

For they were out of hope, stripped of pride, and no longer remembered the feeling of being loved. As they continued to mourn for the loss of their family and friends.

All except one, who looked like a darker version of the hero in the form of a child, ruby eyes sparkling with curiousity as his opposite walked out of the garden.

How did I do? Please review 'cause they make me happy and I won't update unless a few of you comment.

(1) I figured since Link was a child at heart he would do things like cross his fingers for good luck

(2) And for the last few sentences before the time skip, ya plot twist, Morpha is Dark' sister (messed up I know) and she morphed into a monster to guard the temple for anyone who didn't understand.

Question of the day: What is the speed of dark?
