Okay... This has to be one of the strangest fictions I've ever written. It consists entirely of thoughts. There are no words, no dialogue, no descriptions barring those at the beginning. The characters talk, of course, but only inside the other's minds. This was origionally going to be fleshed out and made more graphic, but I decided to leave it the way it is. Why, I still don't know. I like it this way.
Anyways... This stemmed from my rampant love of Dark Link, whom I really don't get to write as often as I would like, and my burning desire to explain him. So here you are, my lovely readers. Reviews will be appreciated. OH! And, if you do review, would you mind answering a simple question? Yes or no?
The master sword.
It was right there, waiting for him. The end of his journey. The end of all this pain. All he had to do was reach out and grab it…
Cold steel. Burning cold. It made no sense. Pain, shooting through his hand. Through his arm. Slipping into his chest, cold, dead fingers on his heart, Knock Knock, Link, are you there? Are you in there, Link?
Yes.
The hand closed. It folded in around his heart, his soul, and pulled. Tug, pull, yank, jerk, tear, pop, out it goes. Whoosh, like opening a bottle upside down. Everything gone, bye-bye. Empty inside, everything ripped out, torn away, broken.
Broken.
Broken?
No no no nononononononononoNO. Still here, still here, shouldn't be here, why am I still HERE?!?!?!'
Woke up.
What? What happened? The master sword, still there, shiny. But it's dark now. No more glittery light beam just a sword now, the glittery is gone. Gone with the rest of me, the innards.
That was a dream. A fantasy. A nightmare. An illusion. A fallacy in your head.
Fallacy?
Since when do I know the word 'fallacy?'
You don't.
Then what? How? Confused.
Yes. Confused. Be confused. Confused is good
Just sleep now, little hero. Sleep and sleep, whilst the world passes you by
Who? Who are? You? Who…?
Sleep.
Sleep.
Pain.
Not pain, no pain, no ripping tearing breaking on the inside NO.
What is happening? Empty inside. Feel the empty. In my chest. But full. How, full? Where? What?
Awake now, little hero?
Oh Goddesses.

Why?
Because.
No. Why? I shouldn't be here. I should be there, somewhere. The other place. With the rest of me.
Well, you're not, so you might as well get used to it.
But why?
…
Because the Goddesses are cruel.
You're not going to…?
Not tonight.
It's their fault, isn't it? All of this?
Yes. Yes it is.

Thank you…
I love him. I love him. Why do I love him? I hate him. I hate him and I love him.
Because he expects nothing.
What?
He wants nothing from me. I don't have to save the world any more. I can just… be.
But… He's evil.
Evil is a perspective, boy.
When did you get here?!?! You're not here! I don't… How? Confused.
I'll always be here now.
Why?
Because you love me.
Yes. Yes I do.
I'm glad.
So… am I.

Yes, Link. I want you to.
Happy.

Pain.
More pain.
Ow.
Gannon! What?! What, Gannon! Please?!?!
You're coming back.
From the other side.
Gannon, pain! Save me! Save me, please!
Save you. Save you. Create you. Make you again.
Please…
There.
It doesn't hurt any more. What happened?
I made you again. Look at yourself.
I'm… Black?
I'm sorry. I couldn't do any better. I'm not used to making beauty.
That's ok. I… Like it.
Happy.
Happy.
Gannon, I'm bored.
Sorry. Busy.
Want you.
No time. Sorry.
… K.
He won't talk any more…
He doesn't love me anymore…
Why?
I'm not pretty anymore. I'm ugly. Ugly. Doesn't want me.
Wants HIM.
Hate him.
Hate them both.
He's coming, he's coming he's coming.
Feel him. Feel him coming. Ha ha, pain. He's hurt. I can feel it. Hurting, drowning, falling…
He's coming, Gannon.
I know.
I'll kill him for you.
No, don't. He's the Hero of Time. He can't be killed by a minion.
… Minion?
Yes. Only the antihero can kill the hero.
I'm your minion now, am I?
Well… Yes.
Damn you, Gannon. Damn you to hell.
Link?
Are you there?
LINK!?!?
He won't talk to me.
Maybe he can't talk to me.
Maybe he's already dead.
No, can't be. I can feel them. I can feel them both.
Gods, I hate waiting.
Gannon…
LINK!?!? Are you alright?!!?!
You were right… a mere minion can't kill him… Could never kill him…
Are you alright?
…
No.
I'm coming to get you, Link.
No… I think… I'm… already… dead…
You can't be dead. You're talking to me, aren't you? I'm coming to get you.
I love you, Gannon…
I'm on my way. Don't give up on me, you stupid kid.
Link?
LINK?!
Link… I can't feel you any more…
Hate him.
