The life of Fierce Deity

***Disclaim: I don't any characters of Zelda***

The moon grew close to midnight as the sky darken and smalls amount of stars appeared. Link, pulled on the rein to slow Epona down for the night. The small child tied the horse to a small tree and patting her head, while rubbing her main. Link rounded up a small bunch of Deku sticks and reached for his bow and fire arrow. Placing the sticks in pile, Link grabbed the bow and fired the arrow into the sticks.

Link sat on a rather old tree trunk that seems to have been pulled out of the ground a long time ago. The fire started cooking Link's cold skin that the night's wind kept cold. Feeling tied he laid down and rested his hands behind his head.

"Ouch!' Link squirmed feeling a sharp object in his side. Link grabbed the object and brought it to his face. "Fierce Deity?" holding the strange mask within his hands. A sudden cold chill flowed through his arms.

"What were you Deity?" Link asked in his mind. The mask didn't respond, but Link hope that there was something still left in there.

"Why do you ask, hero of time?" a dark voice whispered. Link jumped and scanned the area.

"Who is that? Show yourself! I dam you!" Link shouted with his sword near his side.

"Why do you ask that, in which you had ask me?" the voice answered again. Link opened his eyes wide and slowly started down at the dark mask of Fierce Deity. The empty white eyes glowed a shade of purple.

"Y-You?"

"You asked me a question, and I answered you"

Link narrowed his eyes in disbelief and sat down next to the mask, on the old tree trunk. As soon as Link sat down, the mask levitated in the air and became bright lights, of a shade of purple. Which formed into a body. A transparent body, with all it detail.

"H-how?" Link asked, swallowing hard. Deity smiled and sat down at the end of the tree, lending against a root as back support.

"I thought this as a more mean able away or conversation" Deity explained. Link smiled and nodded. Link turned to the fire and rubbed his shoulders, trying to keep warm. Deity turned to look at the fire and point his finger at the flame.

****BBBOOOMMM*******

The flames rose above the treetops as the fire exploded into a size higher then the top of the trees branches.

Deity smirked as he recoiled his glowing hand into his cross arm. He turned his glare to Link who was blown off the trunk. Link crawled up the trunk and stood up. Deity chuckle evilly. Link's tunic and face was brunt from Deity's show of power.

"I don't understand, I thought you were just a mask? Link asked. Deity turned his face away but lifted his index finger.

"I am allowed a few trick, nothing major, nothing that can kill people, it's the rule of being a mask" Deity explained with an angry tone. Link took off his green tunic and started to clean it.

"Are you heal?" Link asked. Deity frowned not understanding what the hero meant. "I mean is your soul healed, when I heal someone with a song they become healed and turn into mask"

"No!" Deity responded with a harsh tone. "My soul can never be heal, I was curse this way and I can never be return to my former self," Deity said with a sadder tone. Link paused and peered at the shadowy figure.

"Have you…"

"Yes I have, whenever someone wears my mask I suggest to them to find a way, there is no way to change back, I've tried" Deity interrupted. Link stared blankly and slowly slipped into his tunic.

"Fierce Deity?" Link asked, sitting one meter away from the shadow figure. "What happen for you to become like this?" Fierce paused and turned his glare to a weed growing between two rocks

"My life is like that weed there" Deity exclaimed. Link peered at the same weed between the rocks, "A soul brought into a world where you had no where to go, no where to grow. It's a story not to be told by the faint hearted!" Deity yelled trying to stand up. Link suddenly grabbed Deity hands and forced him to sit. Fierce narrowed his eyes angrily as so did Link.

"Tell me" Link snarled. Fierce Deity snatched his hand free and resumed cross-armed.

"Fine, I'll tell, but don't you fall asleep!" Deity warned. Link crossed his heart and nodded.

"Very well" Fierce Deity began by clearing his throat. "Where should I start?" asking the small child. Link shrugged his shoulders.

"Start from the beginning I guess" Link replied. Deity narrowed his eyes again, not believing that he was about to tell a mere child his life story. Deity reared his head so he could gazes up at the stars. "What were your parents like?"

"Parents? Huh?" Fierce snarled. "What kind of parents abandon a child at the age of four? From when I could remember I was always alone, not a friend in the world! Which I think caused me to turn out this way" Link face saddened, drawing Deity attention. "Don't get sappy on me, kid"

"Sorry" Link apologies.

"Right" Deity reared his head up again to the star, "at the age of four my parents left me in the woods, I don't know where exactly, all I know it was really dark and I was alone"

"How'd you find your way out?"

"Huh?"

"How did you see?"

"See my eyes?" Deity said pointing to his empty eyes. "Because I have no pupils, am I gifted with sight allowing me to see as clear as day, which took a long time to develop leaving me blind for a way"

"Oh…"

"Shut up, kid. Now then, I was in the woods along, blind and with no family or friends at my side…"
