Prologue
\,.:;!!;:.,,.:;!!;:.,,.:;!!;:.,,.:;!!;:.,,.:;!!;:.,,.:;!!;:.,/
It was dark. Nothing moved. Nothing stirred. The room seemed to be littered with death; not a single creature remained within it. Of course, there was only one creature in the room to begin with. And that creature was killed. Supposedly.
An all-black figure stood up from his arrangement and stretched. He seemed almost like a walking shadow. The being didn't remember the last time he had walked freely; If it wasn't for the pure anticipation he had bottled up inside him, he would have simply given up.
He shook with apprehension. Part one of his plan was complete; the Trisword had awakened, and so had he. He was sure that he was the only one who knew of it; after all, Din had created it in secret. How ironic that the weapon that She forged to protect the world would be the same weapon to bring about it's demise.
Dark Link slowly pulled off the gauntlet on his right hand and looked upon the back of his clouded hand. A black triangle shimmered on the back of it. He crumpled his hand into a fist and smiled smugly. His prediction was correct; the boy had a piece of the Triforce. The figure almost laughed at his ingeniousness.
Dark Link raised his fist above his head and uttered an indecipherable phrase: "Egnahc ihim tu suem surev sutluv!"
Instantly, a white light emanated from his fist, and traveled down his arm to his body. As the light traveled, the figure was transformed. His dark figure soon was changed into that of a human, and the light retreated into his hand.
Dark Link was no longer the same shadowy being that fought deep within the Water Temple. He had dirty blonde hair, and angled features. His ears had a slight point to them, and he wore a black tunic, similar in figure to the one worn by the Hero of Time. This altered individual might have been handsome, if it wasn't for his evil lopsided smile, and blood red eyes that emitted calamity.
Dark Link laughed an evil laugh. "Be prepared, Hyrule. Hide yourself, Hero. Even the Goddesses must tremble, for I have been reborn. I am Malus!"
The Water Temple itself seemed to echo his name. The sun went behind a cloud, as if it was hiding from Malus' wrath. It began to rain, as if the very heavens were crying at his arrival. It was true, Malus had arrived. Ganondorf's final act of malice towards all of Hyrule had begun.

Well, that's that folks. I know this chap was short, but rest assured, the next one will be long, epic, and most of the plot will be revealed. Please leave a review so I can improve my writing, whether they are flames, criticisms, or praises. Oh, and disclaimer: I don't own Zelda, Link, Nintendo does, and all that jazz. I know this should be at the beginning, but my graphic looks better on it's own P Anyway, Chapter 2 should be up on Saturday, so see ya then.
