The air was gross and unfathomable, the sky was a bleak brown, the structures all around seemed to be staring down a glare at whomever passed by. This was a place never meant to be. A place that no organic being should ever have to walk, but some have faced this horrid place. The Dark World.

Made in the image of Hyrule, the Dark World is a dangerous world that to some, would give off a feeling of familiarity and discontent. Almost nobody knows of it's origins except for a select few. The entrance is known to even fewer, but one day, a brave soul ventured into the complete desolate wasteland hoping to find answers.

All they wield is a cloak, a precious Moon Pearl, the clothes on their back, some other needed materiels, and a mind full of questions, yet, no answers. Searching high and low, for what seems to be nothing. Searching all over the Dark World would take a complete madman, or a hero. But it would take days, possibly months, if they were to even find whatever they are looking for. No, this searching took smart thinking of where something as this would be. Not just luck.

It seemed like an eternity would pass when the cloaked shadow came upon a pile of rocks. Moving one by one with their arms, under the rubble appeared to be a cave. The figure quietly said, "Found it." While motioning a small grin on their face.

This cave was at the base of the Pyramid of Power. A tall, foreboding mountain standing where Hyrule Castle would be in the Over World. This specific cave, however was once home to the Dark World's very own Fat Fairy who was transformed from something beautiful into an unattractive being. Of course, she has moved on and turned to her original self while also leaving behind the cave she once housed.

Inside the cave, was a long, winding hallway. Definitely renovated since it's former resident had left. Towards the end of the hallway, a purplish hue began shining. The figure quickened the pace as if something were behind them. Closer, closer, closer and brighter, brighter, brighter came the light. And at the end of the tunnel, stand a throne, a pool, and many wondrous gems.

The cloaked figure immediently knew what to do. They quickly grabbed a bomb from their cloak and threw it into the pool, afterwards briefly backing up for what was to come. The bomb landed. Nothing happened except for the noise of the bomb hitting the water and never surfacing again.

"W-why didn't it–" they were suddenly cut off when a creeping laughter slipped into their ears. A woman's laughter, a maniacal laughter. It got louder and louder until, from the pool bursted a shining, purple light. There, stood the beautiful, yet evil, Goddess Lordona.

"Why are you here, mortal!" She questioned, "Waking me from my long needed beauty sleep!" Obviously, the Goddess of Rage was not pleased with being awakened from her slumber. She sleeps to get away from her problems for in her home world, there is really nothing to do.

"Lordona, Heavenly Goddess of Rage. I come for answers, for I have questions that need them." Lordona looked annoyed then quickly donned a sarcastic looking smile, "Why, dear child, didn't you say so to begin with? I enjoy visitors who aren't here to try to hex me to Subrosia."

"I-I, want to know a lot. But we should start with something simple, yes?" The figure was silent for a moment or two, probably trying to think of what to start with. "Why are you here? In the Dark World? Where nothing should even exist?" The stranger looked up to the Goddess while on their knees and holding their hands together to try and show that all they wished for were answers. At least for now. "Well, child, that is a long story starting before the very creation of Hyrule itself, but I shall tell you. For a price."

"A price?" They asked, "Let us be concerned about that later." She stated.

"Let's start with me and the other Goddesses. There was Din, a very empowering one, somewhat bossy too. Nayru, the know-it-all, always trying to show all of us up. And Farore, the innocent nuisance. We all had our disagreements, as sisters, of course, but sometimes they just got too big."

The Goddess paused, catching her breath.

"In the heavens, we were capable at looking down upon anything. But one thing caught our eye, especially. It was the chaos that was Hyrule. Monsters ravaged and the land was ruled by pure evil. Not an actual entity, but just the essence of it."

"The four of us, decided to give this land something to prosper for. Hope. Din, gave it landscapes that artists would paint for centuries to come. Nayru, gave it law in which all were to follow. Farore, gave life, I guess you could call her Mother Nature. Literally. And I, gave diversity. Among that diversity, I gave good, I gave bad. Because, everything needs a balance but, apparently I wasn't agreed with."

"My sisters saw it as a wrong doing. That I was trying to turn the land into the ugly thing that it once was. For my 'crime' they sent me to the Sacred Realm, to guard their precious Triforce..." She said haughtily. "Which they removed my piece from!"

The Goddess was getting angry, remembering what she did not want to remember. What she has been trying to escape from. The ugly truth.

'It'll all be worth it. Pull through.' She thought to herself. "Anyway, out of spite, I lured dark hearts from the Over World to the Sacred Realm. For I, cannot touch the thing without, ultimately, destroying myself. So I thought, 'I'll just get OTHERS to ruin my sisters! To cause misfortune! That'll tell them to banish me!'. I brought many here, a whole war started over a simple rumor of 'ultimate power' and 'any wish granted'. It was entertaining, I must say. But one man stood out above all, he mercilessly killed families and friends to get what he wanted, and he did."

A smile surfaced on her face. "The name was, Ganon."

"Ganon was ruthless. But, boneheaded. He wished for 'The world to be mine' and, well, he got it. The Sacred Realm magically transformed into what you see here today. The counterpart of Hyrule, the Dark World. He was trapped here but still attempted to bring horror to the world above with his minions. Let's just say, that Farore always has the eye for Heroes... She picks them good and strong and makes sure they're sent off on an adventure of the life time."

"The young boy destroyed my lovely puppet of chaos and Ganon had to relinquish the Golden Power once he died. Incidently, though, the hero stayed for a bit to get his precious princess. In that time, I took the liberty to 'take on the role of the Gods'. I pretended to be the 'Essence of the Triforce'. I told the foolish boy that this World would disappear for, Ganon was defeated. He believed me and went on his merry way with the Princess, blah blah blah, happily every after, right? Nah."

She slightly chuckled to herself.

"This place never vanished and never will. I told the little 'hero' that so nobody would ever come back! But somehow, some still know the place is here. That is why you are here, no?"

The figure felt a little embarassed by being questioned after such a long winded story. "Y-yes, rumors still float around. But they are very rare and I only heard it by chance..."

"Interesting, well let me go on! Ganon dies, I trick the boy, Dark World stays her forever. That's, kind of it."

"Anymore questions?"
