Chapter 2 "Faceoffs"

Ganondorf had grown rather suspicious of his mother's disappearances and lack of information of her whereabouts. Anjelona's visits to Hyrule Kingdom became more frequent. Anjelona had suddenly become busier. She was rarely at home anymore. The bitterness Anjelona carried 8 years ago for the Kingdom of Hyrule dissipated at just around the same time she became more connected to the community of Hyrule Kingdom. This resulted to much bickering in the Dragmire hut.

"Mother, I am not the stupid young and innocent teenager I used to be." Ganon said.

"Son, I work at the market in Hyrule. Sometimes, I work the night shift. Other times, I work in the day. My schedule is not fixed as we Gerudos are in our beloved Desert." Anjelona said.

"Beloved Desert? This is the crap the King of Hyrule has confined us, too. He and his army of Knights who declare justice and equality for all. King Hyrule is just full of empty words and full of beautiful rhetoric that in value are worth less than the dignity of a whore. Was not that what you used to teach me, mother?" Ganondorf asked.

"Things changed my son. I was wrong. I used to be poisoned by the thoughts of Koume and Koutake. But, the King of Hyrule has stayed true to his promises. He said he was going to share the wealth, and the truth is that he has. Hyrule Kingdom has commerce and trade with every race including us the Gerudos, the Zoras, and the Gorons." Anjelona defended the King of Hyrule.

"Yes, but Hyrule always gets the larger slice of the pie. Mother I can see it in your eyes that you are hiding something from me. No one changes so drastically like you have mother. May Nayru, Farore, and Din kill me if I am wrong." Ganondorf said.

"You cannot question me like that, I am your mother. You are not the son I once knew." Anjelona said.

"Mother, you bitch-slapped me for not being strong and courageous. When I looked for solace and comfort, you filled me with your hatred. Do not act like you were a docile mother. This is what you asked me to become, and now, all of a sudden, I am the monster. I am the embodiment of "evil." May Nayru, Farore, and Din damn you straight to eternal darkness." Ganondorf finished and left his hut with Anjelona crying alone.

Back in Kokiri Forest, the Kokiris decided that excluding Link from all the activities was not good enough to get rid of him. Link was a persistent intruder. Link tried to be nice to the Kokiris over and over again. Every attempt at Link trying to become friends with the Kokiris ended up with him being on the receiving end of the joke. From his treehouse, he would watch the Kokiris play Deku ball, hide-and-seek, laugh and laugh.

"Link has no fairy, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah; leave us alone stranger; what part of you will never be a Kokiri don't you understand; why are you standing there drooling, go away!" Link reminisced at how the Kokiris treated him.

In the meadows of the Kokiri forest filled with green pollen, the Kokiris stepped up their effort to drive Link away from the forest that one day would be the beginning of his legacy.

Saria started by saying, "Link, it has become apparent that you are quite stubborn and a tad annoying. We have told you to go away over and over, but you have proven to be mentally retarded or a complete imbecile. Our father, the Great Deku Tree says that you will be a great leader someday. Well, I don't see it. I think I speak on behalf of all of us when I say that you need to leave…NOW!"

Mido said, "Saria calm down, I got this. Link, you are nothing. You don't belong here. You don't have a fairy. You don't have friends. You don't have parents. You're an orphan who should not have survived the war. Your parents sacrificed their lives in vain for something as pathetic as you…"

Link shouted, "Enough! Enough! You guys think I really want to be your friend. Yes. I am grateful that you took care of me as a baby and you didn't let me die, and I don't know if the Great Deku Tree lied or not, but he said that you guys used to "love me." But don't mistake it, I do not want to be here either. The only reason I am staying is because the Great Deku Tree asked me to, and my attempts to be friends with you were also because the Great Deku Tree. But, now, I've had it. I hope you all die on this grass so all these insects can feast on your dead remains forever and ever."

As Link left infuriated back to his treehouse, everyone was shocked mouths agape and speechless.

Mido said, "I went too far. He is going to kill us all. Aah!"

The entire group is overcome by panic while Saria walked away from group, and when she was all alone she burst into tears.
