I looked over the horizon, staring at the rising sun. My name is Dark, as you should know. Dark Link, the opposite of the one who left the land of Hyrule to help the other people in the different places. Since I was made here, I can't follow in his shadow...that damn bastard. It was about seven months after he left, that we had gotten word of an invading clan that Link had left from.
If he let them in....Ohh.....I shook my head and looked back up. Today, a year after we had gotten the hearing of the clan, we are ready for the invasion. The poor man who gotten mangled and strapped multiple letters too was still alive when we found him. His wounds have not healed and he still sits in the doctor's place in Castle Town, bleeding everyday.
What are these creatures? The man looked tramautized when I had found him. The entire town looked to me for help since they think I'm that stupid abandoning bastard, Link. I told them that I could help them...and I'm stuck here...in the front of these chicken soldiers, my sword in my right hand, my shield in my left. They had put more armor on me than I wanted, but they said that they needed me to survive through the ordeal. Stupid people.
This would be too easy, unless we're outnumbered. I told the people of Castle Town to flee, since the Castle was destroyed earlier by Ganondorf, anyways. They didn't...and we don't have much invasion space inbetween us, the demons that are coming, and the town's people.
Why do these stupid people not listen to my words? And why does Zelda not tell them to do anything--you're probably wondering. She left with Link, while I'm stuck here with the Triforce of Courage since it had left him when he journied over the mountian barriers around Hyrule.
We heard a screech over the hill, before more and more screeching. Clanking and screeching was all we could hear. I looked back, breathing deeply and keeping myself calm. The soldiers looked at me, before putting their head braces down. Fear. That's all I could see within them. They were trembling and shaking. This is going to be fun. Shadows soon crept forth from the horizon, along with the rising sun. The shadows were bulky, a mile from side to side. I laughed slightly.
That smile soon dissapeared when I saw their body's crawl over the hill. Gargantuan. They were massive. They looked like a lizard mixed with a mutilated person. They had no faces from what I could tell. Their mouths were literally from ear to ear.
They had swords and spears that looked like Ganondorf's when Link had faced him in the final battle that happened a year ago. They were glowing a fierce cream-white, with crimson liquid on the tips...blood. I could hear them breathing, rasped choking like breaths. They sounded like they were just finished another war.
The guards behind me swallowed hard and one of them called out my name. I stood still, scrutinizing the creatures. It looked like they had human skins spread all over their bodies as armour. I looked back with one eye, trying not to look at the hideous creatures.
"W-wh-what do we d-d-do sir Link?" I shut my eyes and snarled. They think I'm Link...no matter how much times I tell them to call me Dark they don't listen! I looked forward as the twenty'th row of the lizard creatures made their way over the hill. Damn...there are a lot.
I stood, watching as the monsters stopped when their last row came over the hill...Too much...Way too much for our numbers...This isn't good. I kept a straight face and finally turned around. "We let them attack first...They have more numbers than we do and if we spread apart to fight we'll be outnumbered....
Just stay withing a tight group and I think we'd do fine." Some of them nodded as I turned around, letting my arms rest. They stood there, looking back into their own group. Stomping and a loud wail came from the midst of the group, before screeching and face-less lizards turning their heads back at us. I gulped this time.
A few of the creatures stepped forward, while a majority of them on the left turned their heads over by the Bridge of Eldin...I followed their direction. What are they looking at? I squinted to look better and I saw a silhouette standing on the top of the bridge on the other side.
It was a woman...I could tell that. Her curves were extreme. I stared at her, confused. If those lizard creatures see her and are watching her could she be a threat? She crouched down, her head towards mine. I looked forward again too see some of the lizard-creatures began to sprint towards us.
I lifted up my sword subconciously and prepared myself. They were running and blinding speeds, changing their spots in instants. It threw me off, and I hollered "Charge!!!" The soldiers looked at me and began to move forward, out of the crowd...What have I done?
One of the soldiers clashed with one of the beasts, giving a good size ratio. They were about eight feet tall and extremely skinny. That didn't stop the soldier, who hit it with his sword. It dropped to the ground squirming. Ha! They're easy to kill!
I darted forward, slashing at a few of the creatures' heads, decapitating them. The cuts were smooth, incredibly easy. Before we realised, we went through a whole two rows of the creatures. I continued to slice their heads off when I heard a few of the soldiers behind me groan in pain. I turned around when another guard protected me, too see the non-decapitated ones standing back up and stabbing the unsuspecting soldiers. They hissed at me when they sensed me looking at them.
I pulled out my black bow and shot them in between the eyes, dropping them to the ground again. The soldier protecting me hollered. I whipped around and saw him being picked up by a larger one. This one was taller than the others, about ten or twelve feet tall.
It's tail was spiked and it was fatter than the rest. Blood sprayed from the soldier as his skull was crushed. The monster opened it's jaw wider than it looked like it could go and swallowed the soldier. The inside of it's mouth was like the Forest Temple's boss. It had green slits on the top of it's mouth, which turned towards me.
It had three seperate pairs of jaws, each having razor sharp teeth. It coughed up tons of blood on me. I ignored it and hit it with my shield, before doing the Helm Splitter Link learned and slicing it's head in two. It slammed to the ground, crushing about three or four of it's type. It's blood was flourescent blue, and sticky like our blood.
I whipped my bow out and quickly turning around, helping some of the doomed soldiers. I was running out of arrows, fast. These creatures didn't give items like the other ones around here do. I noticed that a few of the ones along the sides were holding bows across there backs... I could see arrows--too. I smiled.
I notioned for one of the soldiers to take my place, and I began to dart through the group of fighting soldiers, holding my sword in my right hand, I held it in an angle that would decapitate the creatures that came close to me. Another gigantic one was being surrounded by three or four guards ahead of me, so I pulled out my bow again and stacked three arrows ontop of eachother.
"Let one of them try to swallow one of you!" A soldier looked over, officially becoming the bait. It opened it's mouth, lifting up the soldier inbetween it's claws...and I fired the arrows, sending them into the back of it's throat. It dropped to the ground, still squirming.
"Decapitate it! It's the creatures' weakness!" I ran faster past them, still holding my sword up. These things weren't that smart, but they were powerful! Once I got closer to the left wing of the war, the soldiers were literally being eaten alive. The ones who had the arrows were all the ten-foot ones...but they had dark skinned bodies. One of them opened their mouths to reveal that these ones had more sets of teeth..and their eyes were red.
Is the middle just the easy ones? I slashed the heads of about twenty or so and picked up their arrows while being covered by soldiers. The arrows were extremely long...and they were covered with rotting flesh...I sighed. 'It's gonna have to do for now..." I packed my quiver jam full and turned around.
Further in the back of the crowd of lizard-creatures the loud yelling came again. All of the lizards around me stopped their swinging and began to spread apart. Some of them didn't notice the cliff behind them and fell off. Even the ones where soldiers were poking them with their swords didn't seem to notice, but stared into the thick of their crowd. Eventually, all of the creatures backed away when another roar came from the one. Some of them then purposly jumped off the edge, before all of the creatures on the left jumped off the side. What the hell's going on?
The eight-foot creatures that were covering the stomping suddenly dropped to the ground, their heads somehow split in half. I stood there, waiting for the stomping creature to be in my sight... I heard breathing but I couldn't see anything. All of the eight-foot and ten-foot creatures' heads were all pointing about fifteen feet infront of me...What's going on now?! I looked around, seeing the woman still sitting on the Bridge of Eldin, her head in my direction. I could see her better, but before I could focus on her I felt a blow to my legs. They buckled under me and my body dropped to the ground. I looked up, but there wasn't anything around me. ....What th-? I looked at my sword's reflection and saw a massive beast staring down at me.
I looked up and there was nothing there. Is the leader invisible? Maybe that's why the creatures can sense him and I can't...they don't use their sight...they feel and listen. I looked back down into my blade's reflection, seeing that it was bending down to grab me. Damnit! I rolled back and sumersaulted myself back into a standing position, the back of my legs were bleeding. This armour does absolutley nothing! I tore it off, continuing to look into the reflection of my blade to make sure the leader didn't lunge at me.
All of the usless armour fell to the ground, before I pulled my bow out and shot it. It stuck into it's neck. I smiled. Good...At least I can see where it is without having to look at my blade. I shot a few more arrows, trying to find it's arms. It stuck into it's left arm and it's right leg.
Before I could fire another one I watched as my bow was snapped in half...Damnit all! I watched the arrows as the thing lifted up my bow with his left arm and pulled it above the arrow in it's neck, probably to it's mouth. It dissapeared.
"You ate my bow you bastard!" I aimed my sword towards the arrow in it's leg, before slicing. I looked back down into my blade, past the blue ooze and watched as it fell. I laughed. "Is that the worst you things have?!" I heard a crack and sloshing, so I looked back down into the blade.
By now, all but about one-hundred of the creatures had jumped off the side. The soldiers picked up some of the fallen bows the creatures had dropped and tried their best to shoot the remaining creatures with the bows. I continued to watch as the monster reformed it's leg back to the rest of it's body.
Oh so now this one can repair itself?! A red orb began to glow from the thing's hands, even when I looked up all I could see was a growing red ball. What is it doing....this isn't good. I stepped back about twenty more feet before the red ball dissapeared. I looked at myself too see nothing was wrong.
Okay...."What the hell was that you stupid creatu-" the dirt around the edge where the monsters fell off began to tremble and crumble away. Some of the monsters that were decapitated began to go into the ground, tracking to the leader.
It caught me off guard...again...I backed into the wall along the side of the Bridge of Eldin, watching as the dirt around the beast began to grow. Blue ooze all over the field began to go yellow, before some of the bigger of the creatures--decapitated or not-- were standing. One with an arrow was kneeling on the ground, aiming it's arrow at me. It stopped and put the bow down, an ugly smile crossing it's ear-to-ear mouth...
I could feel my eyes shoot wide open, before my body arched forward. No...! I watched as my blood splashed to the ground. "Damnit...all...." The soldiers that were near to the castle suddenly did what I did, buckling over. Some of their skulls were crushed. "A-are they all...invisible?!" The pain was becoming excruciating...I dropped my sword, seeing the leader was arrow-less and holding a Hylian-skinned blade that was in my stomach.
I felt twisting, and watched as my clothes spun with it. I let out a holler...I haven't felt this much pain since Link's ancestor fought me in the temple...Something formed into my mouth, it tasted bad. I couldn't help but vomit blood. I felt like a child...This euphoria was sent inside out...It felt good and oh-so bad at the same time. I watched as blood, flesh, and chunks of my clothes were drawn from my stomach.
The smell entered my nostrils...I vomited blood again. I felt dizzy...the pain that was surging through my body began to fade...I dropped to the ground, tears forming in my eyes...I don't want to die...not like this...I want it to be lovely...like a drowning...
Everything began to get cloudy and spots began to form over my eyes. Is this what it feels like to die? It felt like I was being reborn except in reverse. I looked over, everything a blur...the soldiers' blood was flying into the air along with screaming. It was my dream-come-true...except in it I didn't die.
Slowly, their screams died down and all I could feel was the cold ground and my warm liquids wrapping around me. I felt light...like I was swimming...Am I drowning?...Here, on the ground I lay, much or less in pain...It feels like I'm falling asleep...Is this all a dream?
"Wake me up..." My eyes closed, but I could feel the ground shaking under me...an earthquake when I die? I noticed something...I was asking too much questions to myself that I didn't know the answer too..that I couldn't live to answer...everything felt faint, gone. I guess I'm rolling over because my back is now cold. I don't care anymore...I guess I can't escape it....
