This is one of my first writings Ive ever written so go easy on me. Also I might only continue this story depending if any one reads it. Hopefully someone stumbles upon my little story and reads it :D
Disclaimer: I own nothing all rights go to the creators of the legend of Zelda
Demise had defeated the hero and consumed the goddess reincarnation's soul allowing him to fully resurrect and brake the seal hylia placed on him after the great war. Allowing Demise to conquer the surface with ease and and rein as ruler. Under Demises rule the land that was once home to many habitats became contorted and the creatures living on the surface were ether killed by demons that now flourished though out the land or were in slaved very few were able to hide from the blood thirsty creatures.
The once peaceful Foran forest became deprived of life, the trees contorted in a creepy and frightful way. The lake's pure water became toxic enough to kill someone with one sip. The Edin volcano became uncontrollable constantly spilling out lava and flaming rock increasing the temperature to a deadly heat. The land had truly been transformed for the perfect living conditions for a demon. All thanks to the demon king.
Now you may be wondering what of our hero could he had met his fate battling the demon king. Well my friends your about to find out.
He had failed them …
Everything was over...
Their was nothing left for him...
He was no longer the hero...
He had failed the goddess...
He had failed Zelda...
It hurt him just to think her name being reminded of when the demon king had made the hero watch as he extinguished the last of the goddess... no Zelda's light. The demons then took link to their castle since a simple death would not fit the hero of the goddess. No the demon king and his sword had better ideas to keep the hero alive for their own amusement to slowly and painfully destroy the one who had came so close to fulfilling his destiny and defeated so many foes. Now a play thing for demons had Link not been though enough risking his life everyday in search of his best friend only for her to slip through his grasp every time. He was forced to carry the fate of the world on his shoulder keeping it a secret from those around him never able to ask for help. It had been all on him and now he's to blame for failing Hylia. So why must he be forced to endure more after everything.
Link thought to himself sitting in the corner of pitch dark room he was locked in. The only reminder that he was still there since he couldn't even see his own hand was the coldness coming off the stone walls and ground around him as well as the pain from his last beating Ghirahim had given for absolutely no reason at all "Hylia please I cant take it anymore please just let it end" A quite voice cried out begging for salvation.
Ghirahim went to cheek on the hero since he was feeling rather board. He had grown tired of slaughtering his servant and their shrieks quickly became an annoyance he was hoping his skychild would provide more entertainment. Once he reached Link's ''room'' he was taken by surprised by what he heard behind the door the demon lord could he small sniffles.
The skychild was crying? Never throughout all the torturing Ghirahim and Demis had put him through he never cried out or let a single tear slip. But here he was crying like some weak pathetic child because of what? its a little dark? Ghirahim teleported past the door not wanting to alert the child of his presence by the flood of light the door wold had allowed in.
Once inside he looked around luckily demons being used to the dark can see a lot better then the average human but he still had some difficulties. He focuses on the quite sniffles until he spotted a small bundle in the corner that was the source of the noise.
"Really Link, Your appearance must really be an embarrassment to your goddess. Her once strong and fearless warrior now turned into a sniveling mess its quite hilarious really" He laughed as one who once defeated him cries like a weak child. Links head perks up at the voice it still being too dark for him to see he looks aimlessly around the room in search of the source of the unknown voice. Though he was still pulled into himself and sniffling his crying seemed to lessen.
"To tell you the truth Hero it irritates me to no end to think you once defeated me considering your current state. And though I did enjoy finally hearing you cry for the first time it is now getting annoying. So don't you think its about time you finish your pathetic crying,Link!" Ghirahim yelled out of anger for some reason he couldn't explain he didn't like the way he cried it wasn't like when others cried and scream for him when he tortured other prisoner, that satisfied him and his blood-lust. No he was not crying because he was broken or had finally surrendered they were tears of confusion.
Ghirahim walked towards the boy "I said stop it, Link" he yelled loader at the shivering child. This seemed to quite the child when suddenly a small frail child-like voice spoke up in confusion "Link?" He asked not sure on what was happening or where that voice was coming from.
The one word question seemed to catch the demons attention. The voice certainly belonged to the sky-child though it sounded higher and more weak their was no confidence in his voice. And why would his name be a question when it dawned on the demon
something was off about the hero he approached the scared and confused boy even more and examined him even closer.
The hero's clothes seemed far to large for him his tunic going pass his knee's, his hat seemed to be slowly falling over his face. How did his clothes get so big? Ghirahim wondered then he realized it was the hero the shrunk!
Ghirahim then picked the small hero up by the back of his tunic surprising the child. He then teleported the both of them to his champers in a flash of diamonds. Once they arrived he dropped the boy on his bed. Who quickly clutched his head to recover from the dizziness of teleportaition.
The demon looked over the boy completely confused by his appearance. The sky child had some how turned into a 7 year old boy. Once Links dizziness had calmed down he curiously looked around the room before his eyes settled on Ghirahim. "Hello" he said cautiously but polite. The demon face palmed but then remembered when the boy questioned his own name. Could it be that the hero has forgotten everything. "could you had forgotten everything along with your transformation?"
The boy tilted his curiously "transformation?". The demon quickly thought on his feet if he should tell the hero or keep his past and everything a secret. He decided for now he would hide it.
"never mind that you must have more important questions since you seem to have no memory like your name?" The demon asked trying to get the child off the topic of his sudden change. The boy seemed to have easily distracted by the question "my name?"he asked questioning he seemed to be trying to remember but he couldn't seem to recall.
Ghirahim chuckled at the boys frustration over simply remembering something so simply. This would be fun, he considered changing the skychilds name since Link was such a boring and unimpressive name but looking down at the small child his bright blue eyes shining with curiosity no name seemed to come to him but link seeing how even though his form was different he was still the chosen hero of the goddess Link nothing else would suit him.
"As plain as it may be your name is Link and don't ask me why any one would name a child something that." he announced. Link mumbled his name a few times before looking back at the demon before "and you?" he asked looking Ghirahim up and down taking in his strange outfit.
The demon lord was shocked by his own ill-manners he had forgotten to introduce himself not once but twice to the child. How could he allow such behavior. He then made a long and dramatic bow "My name is Ghirahim, though I prefer my full tittle Demon Lord Ghirahim, sword of the demon king Demis who rules this land, no this world." Ghirahim gloated.
Link looked up at the demon confused he hadn't seemed to understand most of what he had just said though he thinks his name is Ghirahim. "Whats a demon" his curiosity out weighing his confusion.
The question seemed to catch Ghirahim off guard but was reminded the boy had forgotten everything. "demons are the supreme race they are far better than any other though there are a few weaklings that are of lower class I being from one of highest ranking just under the king." he biasly taught the child.
Link thought for a moment soaking in all the info he was just told when a question came to mind. " Am I a demon?" he innocently asked. The demon thought over how to reply he didn't want the boy to know to much but there was no way the boy could pass for a demon with his appearance so he decided to tell him a little.
"no you are skyloften a weak pathetic race the could never amount to anything your soul existence rely purely on demons and all your kind is useful for is being servants or entertainment. Though there is not many of you left making your kind rather rare to come buy." he again biasly told the boy. Whose face now showed signs of sadness in its emotions
"why aren't there many of us left"he sadly asked. Forcing Ghirahim to plan his wording carefully since he certainly couldn't tell the child its because most skyloftians where killed or eaten by demons. But then he was a lord and lords mustn't lie thought trying to piece an excuse together. "Because there homes were destroyed." he replayed technically he didn't lie since after the goddess was destroyed skyloft fell to the earth many skyloftians died in the collision. Only the ones that could get to their loft wings in time survived. And then they were hunted down by the creatures of the surface.
"Where was their home?" He asked growing more curios with each question. "They lived high up in the sky isolated from the world since they were to weak and scared to defend themselves." He answers getting annoyed with the child's questions. Noticing he was going to start another chain of questions, Ghirahim stopped him. "That's enough of the questions for now." he declared. Then took notice of links dirty form on top of his perfectly clean bed.
"I believe someone is in need of a bath"he sighed grabbing the boy by the back of his shirt "and some new clothes" He said before teleporting into a very elegant bathroom everything painted white with hints of gold. Ghirahim released the boy onto the ground to recover from the dizziness once again. While he he stocked over to the bath tub, turning on the water and adding some bobbles. Once it was filled he turned of the water and looked back at link.
"Well skychild are you just going to stand there in your filth or are you going to take off those clothes and get in the tub" he said looking at the child. Link struggled to get the tunic over his head when the demon grew tired of watching the child struggle he snapped his figures and suddenly Link was in the bath with his clothes in a pile where he once stood. "now hurry up and clean yourself I'll be back with some clothes" he informed the child before.
Then he disappeared only to reaper not long after with a white shirt though on link it would be more of a dress. "This will have to do for now, at least until I clean your..." but stopped mid sentence. In the few moments he was gone link had managed to find Ghirahim's bubble bath soaps and empty the entire container into the tub creating enough bubbles to engulf the entire bathroom. Face-palming his face Ghirahim released a frustrated sigh. Link realizing Ghirahim's return popped his out from the cloud of bubbles with a big goofy smile. He looked ridicules but at least he was clean now, The demon lord thought with a small smile.
