Hello, this is my first publish, i hope some people like it

It must have been at least nine o'clock in the evening by now. It was still rather early to Link, and he would've continued on his way to Kakariko Village if he had no mercy on his horse, Epona. He'd had her running around all day without stopping and only found it fair he let her rest earlier, seeing how tired she was.

Holding Epona's reigns to walk her, the boy dressed in green headed over to a nice little clearing in the woods before stopping and sitting on a large rock. The night wasn't cold but it wasn't at all too warm either, so Link settled on making a small fire.

"Busy day for you, wasn't it?" Link chuckled, reaching into a small satchel he carried and pulling out an apple for Epona. Link wasn't a person of many things. His satchel didn't hold much except for a few extra pieces of clothing, some trinkets in which he couldn't even remember where he'd gotten them, some fruits and a flask of water. Besides those things all he had was the sword and shield he always carried, a rather lot of rupees, and of course his horse Epona.

He reached back into his satchel to grab the flask of water.

There was a tree behind the rock he sat on, and he leaned back against it as he drank from the flask.

A moment later Link froze, swearing he saw two red eyes watching him from his peripheral vision.

Link lowered the flask and stood up straight, only there was nothing where he'd seen the red eyes. He must have been imagining it.

He actually believed it, only a moment later Epona let out a loud neigh, standing up on her rear legs before running off before Link could even do anything.

Link jumped onto his feet, sword in his left hand and his shield in the other. He looked around, trying to see if he could spot anyone or anything nearby, only he saw nothing, nothing at all.

"What the-" he stopped talking when he saw red eyes staring back at him. All he could see were the red eyes, the rest of it was bathed in shadows.

Link positioned himself in a fighting stance so he'd be prepared to fight if...whatever was looking at him decided to attack.

After a moment the red eyes began to move forward into the light from the fire Link had built revealed what it was, and Link's eyes couldn't help but widen.

In front of Link stood an almost exact replica of himself, the only difference being that he seemed to be completely made up of darkness, shadows, and had glowing red eyes. A Dark Link. Floating around him seemed to be a fairy too, only unlike most fairy's that glowed, it did the opposite.

Dark Link stood still, watching the other Link with an expressionless face, before a smile spread across his lips.

Link stared at his...dark twin, his grib on his sword tightening. Dark Link's smile grew even wider, and a moment later he advanced forward.

Link quickly raised his sword to meet Dark Link's sword. Dark Link went to punch Link in the stomach with his free hand, only Link moved out of the way as if knowing what he was going to do. That was when it became clear to both of them that the fight would be almost impossible to win, as it was hard to beat yourself.

And Dark Link most certainly was not going to waste his time when he could find a better way of achieving what he wanted with obvious success.

"This won't be the last time we meet, brother," Dark Link laughed, before with amazing speed vanishing back into the darkness he came from, leaving behind a confused Link.

So there'll be a lot more to this story as it goes on, and I'll try and make it as interesting as possible
