Without a Spirit but With a Soul - By Thorn Elemental
INTRODUCTION-Haunting
It still haunts me.
That day in the Temple of the Water, as I progressed into the next room, I expected another very easy puzzle. How wrong I was.
As I walked into the room of illusion, I was immediately surprised. A quick glance around told me I was in paradise, that or the Sacred Realm. Slowly I walked toward the center of the haven, and looked at the tree in front of me. Leaning on the plant was the figure I would never forget, the being of pure darkness. It looked exactly like me, though it looked nothing like me at all.
I don't know how long I stared at it. Well anyway, the next thing I knew I had a sword swinging at me. The battle raged on for what seemed like hours, and it seemed as I hit the dark one, he only got even more aggressive and powerful.
It only hit me once, the sword did not cut my skin, but it instead sent an icy chill through my heart rather than make me bleed or bruise. The blow seemed to spread fear and sadness through my body, throwing me into endless depression that seemed impossible to escape from.
"NO," I said trying to focus, "I must do this for the people of Hyrule, the sages, and for Zelda!"
I struck again, catching the thing off guard. I glared at it, and it stared at me, and in those evil, red eyes, I could have sworn I saw sorrow, fear, and depression. The look was lost though, as it barraged me once more.
After I had slayed the thing, and watched it burst into flames, I couldn't help but feel…sorry for the thing. That look in his…its eyes,
It haunts me during the day,
It stalks me in my sleep,
And I am now determined to
someday figure out the secret of my dark side.
