Chapter 1: A new evil
Link flew high above Ganon's tall ugly head. As he flew heavy raindrops pelted his back. The creature was four times the size of Link but he had brought it to it's knees. Just long enough so he could
weaken the monster incredibly. He held the hilt of his sword with both of his hands and was ready for what was to come. After so many battles he would never forget the one spot where he could take
Ganon down, no matter what. Right between Ganon's eyes was where he had no armor. Hitting him was easy. It was finding the right time to strike which was hard. Any second now his sword would
dig into Ganon's forehead and bring the hideous dark creature down to his knees. Than Zelda could let louse a golden arrow into his dark heart. Sending the evil away like all the other times. The sword
was mere seconds away from contact to Ganon's forehead when suddenly Ganon's monstrous arm sung at him and knocked him to the ground. Link tumbled when he hit the ground and only just barely
stopped himself with his shield from flying over the edge. Small pebbles fell behind Link and for just a moment he looked back and saw the never ending expanse of darkness. He turned and noticed
Zelda running towards him, frantically trying to reach him before Ganon did. But the creature wasn't interested in Link just then. He turned his massive frame to Zelda and howled the most terrifying
sound Zelda and Link had ever felt. Link's heart froze. Zelda stopped dead in her run to Link. For four seconds nothing happened. The evil creature snapped the eery stillness with a sudden bloody
growl. Zelda snapped out of the confusion before Link could think. She restarted her run towards Link. Link's mind unclenched then and he tried to yell to Zelda to stop. Rising, he motioned for her run.
Zelda didn't notice. Her mind was set on reaching Link first. Time slowed to a crawl what seemed to Link. As he watched Ganon's hulking torso loom over Zelda. Zelda didn't freeze though. She just kept
running. Praying to make it to Link. Ganon raised his bloodied arm that had been injured by Link and hit Zelda square in the gut. Lightning crackled in the clouds and illuminated Zelda's body just so Link
could see her entire face. The pain in her eyes, the scream of pain that had not yet reached her lips. She flew towards Link. Link lunged for her but his reach wasn't long enough. He felt the tips of her
fingers for just a moment before Zelda fell to the black void beneath him. Immediately rage rang within his entire body and mind. Clouding his thoughts. He should have felt sorrow but watching Zelda
fall just away from his grasp broke everything he should be. A hero of Hyrule. A hero of time. A hero of Zelda. These things brought him courage and kindness. But now he felt hate. He turned quickly to
Ganon. Intent on finishing the job he knew he couldn't do without Zelda. Ganon howled a challenge before both of them flew towards each other. Ganon tried to start the attack by crushing Link with
his fist. Ganon knew Link wasn't an equal match to his incredible strength. The kill would be quick. The arm flew towards Link's head but he brought his shield up to protect him. The fist hit the shield
with the sickening sound of bones breaking. The creature screamed in surprised agony when it realized that the sound had been the bones in it's own arm. The creature tried to fall back for another
attempt. Link caught the creature off guard when he followed through for an assualt. Link swung his sword wildly at Ganon's torso. Not caring if he hit any vital point. He just wanted Ganon to feel
anguish. The sword nearly hit Ganon in his right shoulder when slyly Ganon sidestepped. Link over judged his swing and tripped over his own momentum. Link rolled when he hit the ground and rose
quickly to meet Ganon again. But instead of Ganon over shadowing him, there stood Ganondorf. When Link wasn't looking he had reverted to his human form. Link didn't even blink at this sudden
change though. Instead he sneered and lunged again. Ganondorf playfully dodged Link's attack and kicked him on the back to the ground. Link rolled to his back only to be pinned down by Ganondorf's
knees on his chest. The rain drops fell into Link's face and clouded his vision. Ganondorf grabbed both of Link's hands. Link would not let his anger be replaced by fear though. He wrestled and writhed
as much as he could but he could not jostle Ganondorf off of him. Ganondorf moved Link's arms so they were also pinned by his knees. Ganondorf leaned real close to Link's face and laughed with a
strange glee. Ganondorf then spoke "I have been waiting a long time for this, hero." Ganondorf let the last word slip out of his mouth like poison draining into prey from a snake. The fear that Link had
been fighting finally came into effect then. Link spoke "To what kill me? Oh I bet you have." Ganondorf replied "Not quite my young hearty hero." As he spoke these words he pulled a weapon from his
back pocket. Shadows seemed to dance around it and Link could not see a solid form to the strange weapon. Link felt weak just looking at the dancing dagger. Dagger seemed to be the best
description for the weapon. Ganondorf slowly brought the weapon to where his heart lay under his skin. "Only when you are at your weakest, will you rise as the strongest" Ganondorf quoted from
some unknown origin to Link. Without warning Ganondorf stabbed Link. The dagger cut through Link's body like his skin was tissue paper.. Only when Ganondorf stopped remorselessly pushing the
blade into Link's body did he feel the pain. Pain blossomed all around his heart. Link could feel the shadows that had been around the blade stop there crazed waltz. Link suddenly let out a tortured
scream as the shadows began to race around his entire body. Ganondorf smiled a grin of enjoyment as he watched the hero scream in agony. Link's vision began to get red spots as he was losing
conscience. The last agonizing seconds Link could hear Ganondorf say "You have been a servant of the light for far to long, soon the shadows that bring you so much torture will bring you power." And
with that Link gave into the darkness crowding his vision.
