After fighting his way through the Skyview Temple, he finally reached the large golden doors. 'Zelda must be in there…', Link thought as he placed the key into the door.
He cautiously walked into the room and observed the half-lit room carefully. Then a dark and sinister laughter filled the room. Link looked around to find where the source of the laughter was coming from when suddenly a silhouette of a man appeared in front of him.
Then the mysterious figure rose up his arm and his sword dissipated into thin air. Link watched him intently and waited for him to make a sudden move. 'Who is this strange man?', Link thought. The man finally turned and faced Link.
"Oh look who it is. I thought that tornado I stirred up would have tossed and tore you apart, yet, here you are…not in pieces", The man smirked. Link stared at this man in both awe and caution. 'Whoa…He is the man who kidnapped Zelda? He is quite beautiful…Link! Get ahold of yourself! He is your enemy and a man!', Link mentally scolded himself. No matter what he thought of him, Link had a feeling he would have to confront him in battle.
The man lifted his hands and spoke again. "Yes, we plucked her majesty from her perch in the clouds and now she's ours.", he smiled a sickeningly sweet smile. "Oh, but listen to me…I'm being positively uncivil, allow me to introduce myself. I am the demon who presides over this land you look down upon, the Surface. You may call me Ghirahim. But in truth, I much prefer to be addressed by my full title, Lord Ghirahim. But I'm not fussy.", Link glared at him and unsheathed his sword.
'He is so arrogant and blocking my way to Zelda…', Link thought harshly. "Did you really just draw your sword? Foolish boy. By all rights the girl should have fallen into our hands already. She was nearly ours when that loathsome servant of the Goddess snatched her away.", Ghirahim spat out as he started to get tense. The lighting of the room started to darken.
"Do you have any idea how that made me feel? FURIOUS! OUTRAGED! SICK WITH ANGER!", Ghirahim suddenly vanished. Link began to look around frantically. "This turn of events has left me with a strong appetite for bloodshed.", his voice filled the dark room.
Ghirahim appeared silently behind him and creeped up slowly until his smooth, white lips were merely inches from Link's pointed ear. "Still, it hardly seems fair being of my position to take all my anger out on you. Which is why I promise not to murder you. No, I will simply beat you within an inch of your life!", Link stood there too shocked to move. Ghirahim's breath tickled Link's ear and a shiver travelled down his spine.
Suddenly, Ghirahim wiggled his tongue near Link's ear, breaking him out of his reverie. A slight blush dusted Link's cheeks, but of course he ignored it and jumped away from him. Ghirahim started to chuckle darkly and his cloak disappeared. Ghirahim gave Link a challenging look and thus, the battle began.
