I, GreenFantasy64, don't own the Legend of Zelda series or its characters. I made the one-shots for Dark Zelink fans to read and enjoy in the week of Dark Zelink [and Zelink]. Enjoy!

Prompt: Angels and Fallen Angels (Where Zelda is an angel and Dark Link is a turned fallen angel)


Snow drifted down to the earth beyond her feet, taking their time without the pressure of the winds. The cold temperature not bothering her body or the feathers hanging off her wings. Below her feet she saw in the distance people wrapping their arms around themselves and dressed warmly to fight off the winter. Every one of them heading on with their lives.

Her wings gave a flap to continue hovering in the sky.

Should any of the humans looked up at the sky they wouldn't see her. She was invisible to them unless she wanted to reveal herself, or if her powers were weaken to cut off the spell.

Around the large village a sea of snow-coated trees surrounded it. A crescent of towering mountains in the east distance. No neighbor villages or cities in sight for miles and miles. Yet this village could last a long time on its own. The forest and the distant stream providing their source of food in the spring, summer, and fall. Winter they have to rely on the elks and their stocked up supplies to survive past the icy season. A time where they always succeed in with little problems.

Zelda twist and turn, looking for any signs for him. He must have sense her presence by now. Even if he wasn't one of her kind anymore. She pondered if she chose the wrong village, but was sure she saw him fall somewhere here months ago. Now his wounds should have healed and his wings regrow and changed to fit his status. Enough for him to fly and walk around normally (with his wings invisible of course). Unless…

She bit in her lower lip in worry.

He didn't make it.

Or he joined the rest of the fallen angels in the plot to restore balance to the world in their corrupted ways. Which like the rest of the angels, she didn't agree with their motives or their plans. Plus, she hoped that Link wouldn't really join Ganondorf's side.

He's been framed by someone, that's all. I can prove his innocence by keeping tabs on him and getting the truth out of him.

But then the Arch-Angels wouldn't have banished him in the first place if they didn't the truth from him. They had interrogated and decided his fate without an audience in the great hall. She just heard it in the last minute by passing words. Afterwards rushing to see him having his wings ripped and pushed from the edge of their silver city. His body disappearing into the cotton clouds. Sneaking away she dived to see where he would land. Not daring herself to save him in fear that she would get caught and punished too.

"How long are you going to wait for me?" A voice asked suddenly, startling her of being caught off-guard.

She whip around to find the one that she came for floating in front of her. Link with his wings being black feathers and his eyes now red than crystal blue. Her heart twisted on the sight of him. He changed yet had the same features. His skin pale when it was once rich tan and his hair deep black rather than golden blonde. He wore an open trench coat with no shirt and black pants with boats.

"Oh, Link," she breathe out to him, undisturbed on his abs showing. "It's not true, is it—you working with Ganondorf as his spy and all?"

Conflicted flickered in his eyes and he crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"You know I still don't know why you like being with the humans at times. They're…" he waved one of his hands in frustration in search of how to put it, "They're so unlike us…unlike your kind I mean."

She stiffed on how he dodged her question, yet almost in the same time saying how he was with Ganondorf in a way. True, when she had spare time she would wander to the cities and villages and walked along the humans. Seeing the crowds and how they went with their lives, to wonder how to act like a human, and see if any innocent children and pure-heart adults could see her and her wings amidst the people. Then she would go back and tell Link and their other close friends about her experience in the world beyond the clouds. She was the most curious and the excited one of the group to show interest of the world.

"Yes, they are different, but most of them are good people and they deserve to continue living their lives, Link. Ganondorf is wrong is saying all humans don't deserve the world. They can fix their mistake, I know it."

He scoffed and came close to her. She didn't flinch on the movement, but wonder furiously if Ganondorf corrupted her friend with his ideas. Once the leader was found, she would personally be there to see that he get his fitting punishment.

"You know the laws, Zelda. The ones for the banishment: stripes of the pure wings, no longer allowed in the skyward cities, stripe of their names, yada, yada, yada."

She paled and said out loud, "No! You're still Link and will always will be. I just got to prove your innocence first."

He took her chin in hand and made her stare at his eyes. "I work for Ganondorf now, Zelda. You knew my titled before I was cast out, so what was it?" he questioned her.

Her lips pressed together and her eyes harden at him. Where was he going with this? "The angel of the Forest and Peace."

He nodded and let go of her. "They're slowly killing the forests around the world, Zelda, and the world is in pain over it. I can't do nothing about it and continue hearing its cries."

She sighed and glanced down at the village underneath their feet. He admitted to her that he was guilty as the arch-angels said he was, yet it hurt knowing it from his voice. Her closest friend. To know that he sided with Ganondorf brought double pain with his banishment. Along the fact that she would have to stop him one day. As her title was 'Angel of Light and Protection.'

"I won't fight you, Zelda. No matter Ganondorf forces me to do it, I won't I can promise you that."

A corner of her lips lifted on that. "Thank you." If only I can say the same to you if you ever shall threaten to kill an innocent person. It is in my nature to protect them from evildoers of your kind. She added in, "Link—

"Dark Link," The fallen angel pitched in.

—can I see you again soon? Maybe sometime tomorrow?"

He shifted in the air, debating that she saw in his eyes and posture of what to answer. Finally he replied, "Sure, tomorrow noon."

She smiled at that and nodded. Already a plan was forming in her mind: to get Link to see how humans could be and to see how wrong Ganondorf was in them. That and to have him notice her feelings to him. If he could see how she loved him (and still does) than maybe, just maybe, he could come back to her side. She knew that he once had a crush on her before his banishment after all.

She watch him fly back down to the village with downcast eyes, her wings slowly flipping to make her ascended back to her home.

I don't want to lose you, Link.
