Hello, everyone! I thought of this idea a while back, and I decided to write a few one-shots from the perspectives of the bosses of Ocarina of Time, their thoughts pretty much from when Link enters the dungeon (more or less) up to their ultimate demise. This is my first Fic, so constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. I hope you enjoy!

The Parasitic Mother

The Tree, he has opened. I can feel his presence, he approaches- the Hero, I presume? Ah, it appears you were correct, Ganondorf. Perhaps I should have been more prepared to properly greet him... Ha, how many years has it been since a Hylian had set foot in Kokiri? And now one comes for me, to save this wretched "Tree of All Wisdom," and claim that sacred stone. Ha ha ha, no, no, no, my honorable guest! I simply cannot be taken now... my precious larvae... my sweet babes... they need me. Ganondorf gave to me this "Great" Deku Tree as a nest, my home. And as you wander his inner depths, you find my webs, my offspring, my slaves...

And ohhhhh, his essence, the sweet sap of his life is oh so nourishing for a prolific queen; it fills me and my babes with the life and knowledge of a thousand generations; oh the delicious life of this forest- praise be to Farore! She has provided that which sustains all my life, and today she has brought me and my children a Hero for supper! I thank you, too Ganondorf, for providing me such a divine banquet graced by my fair green goddess! I will be sure to offer you that stone you seek, as soon as the Hero is devoured and this tree drained.

Mmmm, yes, his scent grows stronger, he draws closer. Poor Scrubs, they foolishly, guard their callous queen; ah well. Their corpses shall make lovely hors d'oeuvres for my little ones. The less impertinent "Sorry, Queenie's" I have to deal with, the better. Hm? Oh, well what do you know, speaking of those pathetic little twigs:

"Good evening, my Queen," says the wooden brat.

"Greetings, scrub. What brings you to my chamber?"

"Well, uh, err-I mean, y'see, umm-" He was shivering, this ought to be interesting.

"Out with it!" I roar.

"The intruder just came down the second shaft, and he's on his way! He even solved the whole 23 is number 1 thing! I mean, he came with this shield and smacked the nuts and 'heylisten'andI-"

"..."

"Q-q-queenie! why?" he gasped.

"Oh, my sincerest apologies, scrub. I only wanted silence. Perhaps snapping you in half was not the cleanest way of doing so. I will be sure to remember next time, ha ha ha."

He looks at me with those sad, beady little yellow eyes. "Q-queenie..." he wimpered, as he fell to the floor. Warm sap poured from both halves of the little bugger, all over the floor. Ah well, a little snack would not be too bad right now.

As I finished licking up my delicious little mess, I flung aside my minion's carcass and began climbing up the wall- I think a small surprise is in order for my guest of honor. I made it to the ceiling, and I heard the door slam. Suppertime, is all I am thinking as his footsteps echo towards me. Watching him, I scrambled wildly to the center of the room to gaze down on his perplexed figure. He looked around aimlessly, trying to figure out where the noises of my frisky movements came from. At last we meet eye-to-eye, and- WHAT? A CHILD?

My eyeball rolls wildly in astonishment. I quickly repositioned myself and dropped down to his level. He IS a child! What in the world? This great Hero that came to slay me- a mere forest Kokiri? What prank is this? What pleasure will I receive of dining on this worthless little fool? I'd sooner eat a stalchild than this meatless worm! I wanted a meal!

"WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?"I yelled at the top of my lungs. That's it. This is infuriating! I will relieve this anger soon enough by tearing this boy apart, limb from limb!

He is foolishly determined; he stares at me straight in the face, firmly clutching a tiny wooden twig as I advance forward, almost as if he were aiming something at me. No matter, my eye burns red with intense rage and I go in to slam hard and crush his bones with all my- "AAARGH!" I wailed! Sharp, searing pain in my eye! Something is stuck deep inside my cornea! Everything went black and I crumpled to the ground, my eye flailing around in my socket, trying desperately to see this rotten boy! All of a sudden I hear the sound of a sword being unsheathed- oh no. I can't move! I can't close my eye! Where is he? He let out a feral battlecry and- "AARGH!" He stabbed my eye! What the-? He's possesed! I felt the brutality of the blade slashing, sinking deep into my eyeball rapidly and relentlessly.

Fate smiled upon me- in his assault, the boy smacked out the tiny seed in my eye! I quickly regained mobility and vision, but-

SHOOT! NO, NO, NO! NOT NOW! PLEASE OH GODDESSES WHY NOW?

I felt the sudden pressure in my lower abdomen, damn! I hastily retreated from the devil-child and ran up the wall and to the center of the ceiling, praying he would not catch my royal, labor-pained eye. Oh here it comes! Don't worry babies, mama will not falter for you! My eye strained a bright red as I felt the first egg slowly slipping out my-

"AAARGH!"Another seed! I was blinded yet again, but I felt the worst thing I have ever felt in my entire life: The stun paralyzed me, making me fall, and as I smacked the cold, damp ground, I felt my weight crush the egg that was about to be released right from under me! As my eye flailed about wildly in harsh pain, bearing the burden of a possessed boy's sword, I wept. I wept for my life, for my child, and for all my cruel sins.

I knew my end was nearing. My pupil was carved out, my iris demolished, my retina and choroid were shredded; I heard him yell bloody murder as he made one final plunge of his blade deep into my cornea once more for- his finishing blow. I let my screams of pain climax for one final time, a combination of blood and tears dripping from my totaled sockets. I crumpled to the ground with nothing more than my dying breaths. Blue flames, perhaps the flames of Nayru's judgment, engulfed my being. The pain was incredible, something that burned with the essence of hell itself! I could not scream anymore, however. I stared, half-blind at my slayer... he stared back. I questioned with all my wisdom how one could have such might. Perhaps, ha, ha, he is a hero. I felt my body disintegrating into nothing... thought of all I could make of this boy... realized...

Ganondorf, I shall see you in hell soon enough...
