THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: CONQUERING DARKNESS
CHAPTER 1
Two warriors stood face to face on a grassy plain. One a handsome young knight, clothed in a green tunic and hat, wielding a legendary blade and an indestructible shield. The second a shadowy reflection of his opponent. The warriors clothes were blown about as the wind swept around them. The Shadow's red eyes glowed with hatred and rage, a complete negative to the strong yet kind eyes of the young knight. "You cannot defeat me Link," The Shadow said, with a cruel smile curling it's lips, "you cannot defeat the darkness within yourself." Link said nothing and simply drew his blade, looking expectantly at The Shadow.
"Very well, we shall see who is the greater warrior,"
The Shadow lunged at Link, drawing it's blade and slashing downwards. Link blocked with his shield, and countered with a jab. The Shadow anticipated this and leapt just in time to balance perfectly on Link's sword and slash his arm. Link jumped back and readied himself once more. The Shadow lunged again, but Link was ready. He side stepped and went to bash his shield into The Shadow's side, but the dark warrior rolled forward, avoiding the shield completely. "You're not half bad Link," it sneered, "but I know every move you can make, nothing you do can surprise me." Link simply smiled as a small voice replied, "True, but you don't have a fairy." At this a small blue ball of light appeared from Link's sheathe. Navi the fairy darted straight at the dark creature, hovering just out of it's reach, Link lunged at The Shadow and drove his blade deep into its chest. Inky black liquid began to flow across Link's blade. The creature let out a strangled groan and melted into the earth. Link put away his sword and looked to Navi smiling, who landed lightly on the hilt of his blade. "Well that wasn't so bad," she said happily. The two began walking across the grassy field, but they failed to notice the black figure materializing out of the dark stain where the creature had fallen. The sound of a sword being drawn halted Link. He turned just in time to see The Shadow reappear and leap towards him. Link rolled away and raised his shield as the dark warrior began raining blows onto him. Navi flew at The Shadow once more, but it knocked her to the ground and raised his boot to stomp on her. Link tackled the creature to save Navi, Link and The shadow wrestled for a moment before Link was knocked away. They raised their swords and began trading blows. The peaceful grassy field was now full of the sound of ringing blades and crashing shields. Link finally gained the upper hand and knocked The Shadow to the ground before plunging his sword into the creature once more. This time the black liquid sprayed from the wound like a fountain covering Link and the ground around them. Once again the creature melted into the ground and left only a dark stain. Link ran to Navi and found that she was only a little stunned. He went to pick her up but stopped suddenly as searing pain went through his chest. He looked down to see a black blade protruding from his tunic. A dark stain appeared on his clothes as an evil voice whispered in his ear. "I told you boy, you can't kill your own darkness." The Shadow ripped it's sword from Link's back and cackled as darkness filled Link's eyes.
