The winter breeze blew as the snow landed softly against the warm earth. Silence was the forest mood right now. It was the first day of December if Dark could recall. He was ashamed, no more like angry, usually his house would be a mess and items would be broken into pieces with his experiments. But the all mighty Dark Lord told him his house had to be clean and well organized. Plus, not only was he going to invade his private territory he was coming to celebrate his birthday… The only difference was that Ganon had a birthday present.
"Pffft" Dark snorted "Since when did Ganon give me presents on my birthday all he has given me is bruises and injuries."
Just then a knock was heard. "Open Up! Before I invite myself in!" echoed a commanding voice.
"Coming, Coming" He shouted back lazily. 'Ungrateful, fat pig, good thing you die this year like every other.' He chuckled to himself at the thought of 'Freedom' or 'Vacation' is what he called it.
Before his hand even touched the door knob the door slammed open and Dark had just enough time to jump out of the way, and crash against the floor. Dark pushed himself off the floor cursing as splinters entered his flesh.
"What the HELL was that for?!" he exclaimed annoyed
"My child you took too long to open up the door and I wanted to take out some anger but it seems I overdid it and besides it's not like its warm outside" Ganon said drawled sarcastically, as he walked inside and stepped over the broken pieces of the door that was ether slightly burned or crushed, well what was left of the sad door.
"Well, what are you waiting for an invitation? Hurry up and follow me! I'm starving do you have anything prepared?" Ganon questioned with a voice that was slightly impatient.
"Yes I have something prepared but it's not of your liking." Dark replied
Ganon snorted, "Is it some type of sweet?"
"Well yes, it is my birthday and I like sweets", Dark smiled freely.
Ganon groaned in annoyance, "You weren't programmed to like sweets you were programmed to hate them."
Dark shook his head, "tsk, tsk, tsk well that's an error in your part right?"
"Well, still serve me some of your disgusting sweet food you wannabe girl" Ganon stated.
"Oh shut up like you're any better you have the god damn hair style and you even style it!" ,Dark claimed
"Well whatever! You have the DAMN DRESS!", Ganon countered
"IT'S NOT A DRESS!", Dark shouted, "…it's a tunic!"
The argument continued till the warmness of the house was destroyed with the cold wind from outside.
"AND NOT ONLY YOU'RE A SISSY YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO CLOSE THE DAMN DOOR!", Ganon shouted
"I DON'T HAVE A DOOR ANYMORE THANKS TO YOU!", Dark barked back. Dark trying to gain his cool back he questioned, "And what's the reason of your visit anyway? I know it's not because it's my birthday."
"Ah yes about my visit to your house. There will be a delivery from me by sun down. Do not shake it, stab it, experiment with it in any way, mistreat it, or any way of hurting it. Like you did with the last package I send you", Ganon murmured "More instructions will come with your delivery and with that I'm off."
"Oh and may I know what it is?" Dark asked
"You'll see when you get it" Ganon replied as he teleported out.
Dark shivered "…Stupid door"
-:-:~:-:~:-:~:-:~:-:~:-:~:-:~:-:~:-:~:-:~:-:~::Afternoon 6:00~:-:~:-:~:-:~:-:~:-:~:-:~:-:~:-:~:-:~:-:~:-
There was a knock on the side where the door would have been which for the mean while was covered in black magic.
"WHO IS IT NOW?", Dark shouted angrily
"The Delivery Man Sir!", the man replied
Coming out of his experiment room, dirty with blood and unidentified organs on his clothes, he opened up his magical dark door; Dark peered outside as the Mail Man looked at him with shock and disgust. Looking down at how messy he was, he sighed "Well, are you going to hurry up or do YOU want to be next."
Stammering the Mail Man replied, "T-t-t-there is a d-d-delivery for y-you."
"Tell me something I don't know", Dark uttered.
"You have to pay for the delivery sir", The Mail man stated.
"You have to be kidding me. Didn't the old fart give you any money?" Dark groaned in annoyance.
"He said you'll pay up or he will have to personally come to you and strip you from you powers!", The Mail man shrieked
Dark arched his eyebrows and bridged his nose, "FINE! How much is that STUPID package?"
"25 r-rupees sir…" ,The Mail man squeaked.
Paying up, Dark received a box that was 27 inches high and 27 inches long and yes Dark measured the box. Seeing a note attached to the box, he read it.
'Dear Dark the youngsters name is Shadow'
Dark flipped the note to the back which had nothing written on it. Annoyed he turned to his 'Fun' room, he then remembered about his subject he was messing around with in the 'Fun' room. Turning around losing his interest about the box he made his way to the room. The box then shook and shuttered making a low sneeze. Dark's ears twitched and then he turned back to the box, he sighed. Looking at himself he didn't want to scare the crap out of the thing or whatever animal that was inside there so he decided he was going to clean up, which in his dictionary meant taking a shower.
'It won't be long just 30minutes or less', he thought to himself as he made his way to the shower. 'And besides what could go wrong?'
Coming out of the shower 20 minutes later the living room was a disaster. Items were broken, others missing, food spilled all over the place and little footprints leading to him room.
"Awwh, No. no, no, NO! How could of this happened? I wasn't even gone for so long!" Dark shouted in fury.
Dark ran to his room to find the little monkey that caused the disaster. The prize was curled up in on his bed with the blanket covering up most of it body. Dark thinking it was an animal was ready to make the young one meet his best friend, the whip. Taking of the covers, Dark was about to strike until he saw that the young one was no animal or beast but a darkling like him. Dark was shocked to see the little one and even more to see that he was wearing one of his shirts. Observing him he could tell that his body measured 55 inches or in feet 4'7, around the age of 12 telling from his face and soft skin, black hair, short stubby hands and feet, plus seeing the disaster he left in the living and kitchen he was a hands on type, curious and will do anything to get what he wants somewhat like a baby.
"Umm hello?" ,The Darkling mumbled
Dark snapping out of his thoughts turned to see a somewhat frightened child.
"Are you going to hurt me with that?" He pointed at the whip in Dark's hand.
Dark walked closer to the darkling, which shuttered and cowered in fear. "What's your name?" Dark demanded.
"I d-don't have an n-name…"the darkling trembled.
"Then what are you? And how can you not know your name?", Dark ordered
"I don't know! I'm new they called me by Shadow, knocked me out, put me in a box, then I wake up in the snow with someone talking about someone not paying for delivery then I'm put inside a house and no one opens me up! I'm cold and hungry! Then I had to use up the little power I had to open up the box. Then as soon as I get out the light blinds my eyes and I crash into many glass bottles and other decoration! Taking some time I find food which I eat and I crash into this room that has a bed and sleep!" The darkling cried out loud "Then I'm commanded to tell someone I just met to tell him my name! Ridiculous!"
Dark looked at the darkling and grinned he just wanted to see how long it took for him to explode, "You know I was just kidding right?"
"What?" darkling blurted.
"Yea I was just testing you", Dark teased him, "You're so easy to get mad."
The Darkling frowned "W-well I'd never…" cutting him off Dark continued "Your name is Shadow. Oh and by the way you're spending the day cleaning up."
"But, but", Shadow began yet again Dark cut him off ,"I'll have none of it! You did it, you're responsible and I'll be back I'm going to get you clothes."
"You mean you're going to buy me clothes?" Shadow chirped
"No I'm going to get them free" Dark confirmed.
"How?" Shadow puzzled
"You'll see", Dark smirked, "But tomorrow, today has been a tiresome."
