Darkness. A place that forever scares the heart

No matter how hard we try,

The light is always out of our reach

Because we lose sight of

Who we are

They also say that, to truly know someone, you must understand them.

And not from the outside.

But from the heart.

Me? I have no heart.

I am Dark. A pers…no…a creature that was once human.

My heart was devoured by the darkness.

No one knows who I am. Hell, I don't even know who I am.

All I know is, I am Dark and I will kill him.

Chapter 1

~Raven~

"Link! Wake up wake up!" I ran from my room to my younger brothers room next to me. I was excited for today, for today was our birthday. Link and I made a promise that we would go out to the gardens to learn how to fight and for him to show me the wolves around the woods. Well, he's younger then me by three minutes you see, my father, The King, had two sons. Link and I. Mother gave me the name Raven because of how dark my hair came out when I was a baby. She said that it was very rare for a Hyrulian to come out with black raven hair. I didn't like my name. It sounded mean and nastily, but I never told that to mother because she always took care of us and loved us. I also love my mother. She's so warm and loving and I know that she would never leave me behind. Father thought that I had some sort of disease or illness that would kill me later on. But mother held on to me and told my father that I was destined to do something great or be different then any normal Hylian in the land. Today was the Eclipse of the Full Moon, we were turning five years old. I woke up early enough so that Link and I could go to the gardens. I jumped on his bed and shook him as hard as I could, "Come on Link, wake up!"

In blink of an eye, I saw Link's fist coming towards me and I was on the ground. "Alright, alright I'm up, did you have to shake me THAT hard?" He shakes his head and sits up from his bed. My younger brother was the 'spoiled' one. My father decided to teach Link the art of swordsmanship instead of me was because my mother didn't want two sons to know the art of swordmenship. She chose me to study magic. But I didn't want to study and read books all day, I wanted to learn how to fight! I envy my brother. My father spoiled him and my mother spoiled me. We both didn't enjoy it one bit. So when it was our birthday we were allowed to do what we wanted until Sun high when we all took a trip to Lake Hylia and fish for dinner and have a picnic at the lake. "Raven, how did you get down there?"

"You punched me you idiot! How could you forget so fast Link?" I slowly got up and rubbed the pain away from my face. I was still in my night clothing and forgot to change into my day clothing. He looked at me and started to laugh. "What's so funny huh?"

"Hahaha, your face! You look like you're about to cry! Haha" He was rolling around his bed and pointing at me. I was sensitive to this because it REALLY did hurt. If there's one thing about my brother, he is strong. I wiped my tear away and headed towards the door, "R-Raven, where're you going?" He stopped laughing and had a worry and sad look on his face. "I…I was joking I didn't mean to hurt your feelings Raven, I'm sorry." He started to shuffle towards me and reach out for my hand. I smacked his hand back and looked at him. Now he was crying.

"Joking!? You were just like the kids down by the gates, pointing, sneering and laughing at me…calling me freak. You know it hurts me Link…" He snuffled and gave me a hug. Warm. I hugged him back and whispered, "I'm sorry too Link…i didn't meant to make you cry.." We both distanced each other and wiped our tears.

"Well, now that that's over with, let's get ready to go to the gardens. " He had a huge smile on his face when he said that. It got me to smile as I ran off to my room to put on my day clothing.

After awhile of thinking with outfit to wear, Link comes in and stands by the door with a sass stance. "What?" He lifts his eyebrow and motions to hurry up. I finally decided on the new outfit mother gave me for my birthday today. It was lose and it matched with my hair. I loved it. It was warm, loving and it had her scent on the outfit. It even had a pocket to hold a little dagger in the outfit. "Look Link! Mother gave me a new outfi-" I looked at his outfit and father gave him the same outfit but green. It looked so cool on him. I looked away and hid the dagger in the pocket. "Umm nevermind. Let's go." I shoved him to the side and walked towards the back gates. He shoved me back and we made a game to see who could last until we got to the gates. He won of course because he was stronger then me.

"Ha! That makes 0-2." He makes a victory stance and swings his wooden sword and shield that father gave him for training. "You need to get stronger Raven if you ever want to win against me. But that'll never happen because mom always has you locked up in the attic with all those books. What do you do up there anyways?" He has never been up to the attic with me and I have never been to the training grounds. We weren't allowed onto those territories for some reason. I never asked and neither did Link. We just didn't think it was important enough to ask Mother or father.

"BORING stuff. She has me up there all day reading magic books." He stopped and turned towards me with a huge dumbfounded face. "What? You didn't know i was studying magic up there?"

"I had no idea Raven, mom and dad don't tell me much about what you do. All I do with dad is run, run, train and meditate. I don't even know why we have to meditate to kick butt!" He throws a furry of fists and a kick at the end of the combo. I clap and hold up an seven. "That's all? A seven?"

"You didn't do your noises" He looks at me and then remembers what I mean.

"Ha, He, HIYA! How about now?" I held up an nine. "Well, works for me. Got everything you need?" He gave me the sword and shield that he trains with. I instantly fell to the floor with the sword and shield in my hands. "Umm that's gonna be a problem if you can't even hold them up Raven. Here let me-" I smacked his hand away again and looked at him dead in the eyes.

"No. I can do it." With all my strength I lifted the sword and shield. With a touch of levitation. He smiled and patted my back. "See? Told you I can do it." I put the sword back in it's sheath and the shield back to Link. "You carry the shield, I carry the sword." He smiled and walked off towards the garden. We came across Babo and Tero. The guards that guarded the back gates to the gardens. My father keeps a close eye on them because my father saw them trying to steal rupees from us. Father captured them and made an deal with them. The first option was for life, they must guard the back gates to the gardens for the Royal Hylian Family till death. The other option was to be killed so they obviously chose to guard the back gates. They stared at us as we walked by them. Link and I never trusted them so we always walked with out fronts towards them until we hit the garden ben and ran towards the river in the gardens.

"I am so fed up with those kids Tero, we should just do it now!"

"No…we will wait until he arrives at Sun high."

"But Ter-"

"Enough! We. Will. Wait."
