Chapter 1Part 2

-The Shadow-

" You'll see in time." One of the Gerudo answered Aafaron and then told him to shut up. Rika sat there in silence. Only thinking of the unfortunance of Aafaron's similar appearance to Ganondorf, the Gerudo King of Evil in their time. Aafaron had the same build as the Gerudo King, but he had no stone on his forehead and the evil designs of Ganondorf. He had a cloak on and was much younger than that of Ganondorf. He also kept his hood up at all times.

Rika was just as secretive as Aafaron. She was light skinned and had red-grey eyes. She also wore a black cloak. She also had a grey mark below the eye. She was much smaller than Aafaron and also seemed weak, but her magic and skill made up for it.

" Why did we charge right in there like that! Aarafon always does this! Charging into problems without thinking..." She sighed a bit, thinking back to her dagger.

" I want my dagger back..." She muttered. The dagger of her missing father. It's origins unknown. Many times they tried to get answers from the Gerudo, but failed each time. Hours…Days…Weeks have passed as they had traveled though the harsh wasteland. But they were given rations of food and water, but barely enough to keep much of their strength up.

" Where have we been going all this time? It has seemed almost like a month but still we have these blasted blindfolds on" Aarafon thought. " What are we going to? I am so thirsty." He muttered over and over, as if just to annoy the Gerudo.

"Would you just shut up?!" a Gerudo yelled agitated. Rika felt her self waste away; She has been depressed think about her father this whole time. She was glad Aarafon was here, but she was getting tired of sitting in this bouncing wagon day after day. She licked her lips dry for water but only getting a cup a day doesn't really quench her thirsts.

When they though all their hopes have left them, the wagon finally stopped at their destination stopped. The Gerudos came around and threw Aarafon and Rika out of the wagon and left off into the distance. Aarafon landed an odd way but he could reach the ropes with his hands and quickly untied him self. He then took his blindfold off and quickly covered his eyes in shock.

"Ahhh!" He gasped. Being in darkness for weeks, his eyes hadn't yet adjusted.

" Could you untie me now? I can tell you're obviously free…" Rika mumbled. He then went to untie Rika, she too experienced the shock of the sunny sky, quickly covering her head with her hood.

" Here…" Rika muttered. She pulled put there bags from under her cloak handed Aarafon his pack. He stood there amazed,

" How…" Rika tied her own pack on.

" I managed to steal them back during our trip but I wasn't able to find our weapons…" She said, her voice showing an angry hint at the end of her sentence. Aarafon was still a bit surprised, but expected that from Rika. They looked up and for the first time noticed how vast this desert was. Aarafon then turned around and noticed a very large structure. Rika also turned around and was amazed at the beautiful structure. It has columns surrounding it with a stature of a woman figure in front; her large hands seemed to welcome them.

" What is this?" Aarafon asked.

" I'm not sure…" Rika answered quietly. He saw skeletons along the walls of it. " They have done this before to other people…" Rika shook her head in sadness. " It must be Ganondorf's work…."

" But why us? Why does everyone think that I am Ganondorf?"

" I'm not sure, maybe you look like him? You do have the hair and eyes and big nose..." Rika mumbled. Aarafon rolled his eyes.

" That doesn't matter we have to find a way out of here, without water we wont survive long. This desert can't continue forever so we must be at the end of it. We should continue moving on going behind that structure and from there on. "Rika frowned a bit.

" I guess so…" "But what happens if we get lost?" They approached the building, resting in the shade before deciding to move on. Rika coughed from heat excursion. Aarafon looked at Rika and felt a small pang of guilt.

" I'm sorry I got you into this, Rika" Rika sighed

" It's ok, I want to get back at Ganondorf as much as you..." Aarafon nodded in an understanding way at Rika's words. They continued on traveling into in the desert for a few more hours then it hit night fall. As the temperature dropped down to really cold. Which was a much-needed relief.

" Hey Rika do you think we'll get out of this alive?" Aarafon asked. Rika smiled.

" We've been through tougher things before." Just then she picked up a rustling sound nearby.

" What was that?" Rika whispered. She hand tried to reach for her dagger, but then she remembered it wasn't there." Dang it." She mentally cursed. Aarafon also tried to reach for this sword, but noticed it wasn't there." Something is moving out there but I cant see anything." The sound moved closer and closer.

" This is where I wish that I hadn't had my sword stolen." Rika went to her battle stance.

" I hear ya…I still have my magic, but it's raw without my dagger so it may be unpredictable..." She muttered. The shadow seemed to move past their vision, seconds pass until Rika felt cold steel on her neck. She gasped.

" Ugh not again! Enough!" Aarafon tackled the stranger and took the sword.

"Now! Who are you!?" Aafaron shouted. The cloaked shadow looked up to Aarafon, and slowly looked down his movements strange. Then with much strength he jumped over Aarafon and jammed his elbow into Aarafon's neck knocking him down. The shadow took it's sword back. He looked at Rika as if daring her to attack.

" Aarafon!" Rika shouted. She glared back at the figure, and crossed her fingers into another position. She muttered a few words before disappearing. With in the shadows she swiftly jumped up and kicked him in the side of the face.

" Who are you!" She shouted. But then her invisibility spell gave out on her suddenly." No!" she sneered. Completely off guard, the Shadow grabbed her hands and bound them with only one hand; He then grabbed her throat and was throttling her. A strange black aura began to surround him. Rika tried to break free but her malnutrition and weakened body put up small fight. Rika gasped as the grip on her neck tightened, she gasped not because of her lack of air but of his eyes. They were darker than night, something she had never seen before, even with her experience with the dark arts. He saw that she was looking into his eyes. As he throttled her, the shadows around him dissipated, he dropped her and fell to the ground, on knees and hands. Aarafon shook his head and slowly got up; shaken.

" Ugh what...Now tell us who you are!" Aarafon yelled out once more as he went to the figure again and grabbed his arms and held them behind his back, despite the fact that he was already weakened. Rika watched as he had fell to the ground, soon bounded by Aarafon grip. She too felt to her knees as he dropped her, she clutched her neck taking in precious air into her dry throat.

" I sense a powerful darkness from... Whatever he is." The shadow completely collapsed within Aarafon arms and fell himself slip into darkness.
