Chapter 2
Link awoke bright and early that morning. It had been almost six months since his brother's departure. He was going to go to Gerudo Valley to visit Ganson. The entire ride there, he thought about how his older brother was doing, and how well of a leader he was becoming. He was granted access to the fortress with no problems and made his way towards the throne room. When he got there, Ganson was gone. Link grew worried and started walking around the place, calling out Ganson's name. He saw Ganson in a room with a strange female figure. He started running towards the room until someone grabbed him from behind and clamped a hand over his mouth tightly, pulling him into a dark crevice. Link desperately struggled, then recognized who was holding him, his eyes widening slightly.
"Shh, calm down," whispered Ganondorf. "I'm not here to hurt anybody. I'll explain later." Link eventually stopped struggling and gave up. He then heard a female giggle deeply, almost sinisterly. The two listened in on the conversation.
"So you're the leader of the Gerudos," asked the female.
"Yes I am, Princess Ventra," explained Ganson.
"Well then, this is perfect." She then strutted up to Ganson, placed one hand behind his head, then pulled him into a kiss. The two saw Ganson's eyes widen and suddenly cloud over, as if he were in a trance. Ventra then slowly pulled away, grinning in an evil manner. "You, my prince, are going to help me take over this pathetic land of Hyrule, thus making me ruler of both Castaro and Hyrule!" Her maniacal laughter filled the room as both she and Ganson vanished in a flash of light. Ganondorf let go of Link, but then turned him around and held him by his shoulders, making him look into his eyes.
"Listen, as much as I hate to say this, but I need your help. I'm the only one who can save my son, and the guy said that the only way I can do that is if you help me. I know you want to save that pathetic excuse of a brother of yours as well, so we basically don't have a choice."
"How can I trust you," shouted Link. "First you kill a bunch of people and take over Hyrule! Then you use your own son to do your evil deeds! You even tried to kill me! You're not even worthy of being a father, let alone a living man!"
"Because if I commit one evil act, I'm gone! I go back to imprisonment! Proof enough for you, Blondie!?" Ganondorf and Link glared at each other hatefully for a long period of silence until Link scoffed.
"Fine. I still don't trust you, though."
