Hey there guys. This is something I wrote, hoping it would help me with the next chapter of Venom. It's slowly coming together. But this is also something I wrote as the possible beginning for a longer story. I'd like you to read it and tell me if you think it's worth developing. I would appreciate.
Enjoy!
Ganondorf's eyes slowly opened. He groaned as a vivid light blinded him. He placed his hand over his eyes, groaning again. He opened his eyes once more, and this time could look around without wincing. He was lying on his back, on a cold stone floor. Why was he here? The last thing he remembered was the sun setting over the horizon and a dark veil clouding his vision.
He had died.
He sat, his breath shallow and his entire body aching. He did not know this place, and his instinct screamed to him to break free and run.
-I see you finally are awake.
He quickly turned his head toward the source of the voice and regretted it immediately, for a sharp pain ran in his neck and made him writhe. His still blurred sight slowly cleared, and he could see who spoke to him in such a cold voice. It was a young woman, tall and graceful, standing but a few feet away from him. The light that had blinded him came from behind her, but seemed to emanate directly from her skin, giving her an ethereal look. If he hadn't known better, he would have sworn she was an angel. But he was no fool. She wasn't about to show her angelic side to him. As this thought crossed his mind, it dawned on him. He had been captured. And she was to be his ruthless and cold jailor. Yet, she didn't look at him with disdain or hatred. Merely… pity.
-You have been unconscious long enough. I was just beginning to think you might be dead… again.
She smiled - but her eyes were not smiling, still coldly staring right into his. Amber met blue in defiance, and Ganondorf stood, trying to prevent his legs from failing him, trying to stand proud in front of his interlocutor. He approached from her, but when he was but a few steps away an invisible obstacle prevented him from going any further. He raised a hand and settled his palm on the unseen surface as panic took hold of his mind. A prison. A cage. No. No no no no no. He frantically paced from a wall to the other, running his fingers on the cold stone, desperately looking for an exit. The young woman's eyes followed him, her arms on either side of her body. His frenzied pacing suddenly came to a halt, and his eyes settled on her.
-You! He roared.
He threw himself at the invisible wall, but stepped back with a snarl of agony upon being hit with a massive charge of pure energy. The young woman did not cringe, and only watched him as his gaze once more settled on her, shining with pure hatred.
-What is this? What have you done?
-This, Ganondorf, is your cell, she answered in her calm tone. This is where you will be staying for as long as the goddesses see fit, or as long as you don't find a way to break out of it.
She reached for the delicate necklace that surrounded her graceful neck. She slowly pulled a crystal-clear stone out of its hiding place, nestled between her breasts.
- Each of these walls has been enchanted with a restraining spell, so that if you try to force your way out of it, you will be hit with a charge of pure light. I will watch over this place as long as the goddesses allow me to stay in this world, and when I shall pass away my children will take my place, and the children of my children. You will stay here until the utter destruction of our world.
Yet, the Dark King wasn't listening anymore. His eyes widened with panic. He already had been imprisoned for thousands of years, and yet this brat who pretended herself queen sought to cage him once more? This would not stand. This could not be! Too long had he waited to once again feel the wind on his face. Too long had he craved for the sun to warm his skin. She couldn't take it all away! Not again…
With a roar of pure rage he once again flung himself against the invisible wall that separated him from the hated figure, but was only thrown back as golden sparks flew. After a few attempts, he rested his forehead on the invisible barrier, panting.
-It's no use, she said quietly. Please stop.
Ganondorf straightened, regaining his composure. His eyes burned with the madness and despair of a trapped beast as he slowly stepped back, finding shelter in a dark corner of his cell. He slid against the wall and sat, his eyes not leaving hers.
-I hate you, Zelda, he whispered.
-Oh, I have no doubt you do, she answered with a cold smile.
