Author's note:
I never expected to take such a long hiatus, nor to have anybody actually read this. But now that people actually want it and made me feel guilty to leave the story unfinished. I am so sorry for making this chapter short and really bad. I'm trying to find my old writing style, so bear with me and you won't regret. Without further ado I present Chapter 2 of Ocarina of Dark, hopefully I didn't disappoint!

Chapter 2: Enter the Great Deku Tree
Link bowed his head and took a moment of silence for the Goddesses. His eyes were screwed tightly shut as he voicelessly asked for their blessing. Dark tapped his foot impatiently, no one would make him wait for some imbecile's ritual. He grabbed Link by his bangs and dragged him inside the Great Deku Tree.
Although he was in excruciating pain, Link muffled his cries of pain, because it was bad luck to stop abruptly during the ritual. Dark frustratingly pulled him up to eye level "What's wrong with you, did you accidently glue your eyes shut again or what?" Link didn't respond. Dark glared at him furiously, with his index finger, he jabbed furiously at Link's eye. Link screamed in pain and wrestled himself away from Dark, he brought his hands up to his face to try to ease the pain with no effect.
"Why would you do that?"The teary, red-eyed Link asked. Dark humphed "There's no place for people who waste their time praying to forces that don't even care" he dropped Link "Especially when your existence is in danger, now let's go" Dark said as he reached out a hand. Link nodded and sniffled, taking Dark's hand.
Dark glanced at Link, he became especially cute when crying.
They took a sweeping glance at the interior of the Deku Tree. It was as if it had been hollowed out by deku scrubs, with vines decorating the walls giving them a rough texture. At the center of the floor was a deep pit covered with web spun by several hundred skultula. Link took a step towards the vines, they weren't going to climb themselves.
Dark grabbed Link's arm. "What?" Link sighed "I thought you wanted to move forwards". Dark chuckled "Of course I do, and that's why instead of heading to the canopy, we head for the roots. The force affecting the Great Deku Tree must be there for him to absorb it".
Link went pale, he tried to nod vigorously. Dark took no notice and began cutting the web, but the strands refused to break. He tried again and again with no result. Dark sheathed his sword in frustration "Any ideas?" he asked Link. No response. He turned his head, but Link was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly, a skultula skull fell from the sky and almost killed him. Surprised, he looked up. At the highest point of the Deku Tree stood Link, preparing to jump. With the grace of a zora combined with the scream of a gibdo, he dived towards the web. Sword thrust forth, Link managed to slice through the web and plummet down the depths of the hole.
Dark, slightly concerned for Link, rushed to the edge of the chasm and looked. It was pitch black, too dark to see anything. This was his chance at glory, to make Gannon proud, he couldn't let this chance go. Dark breathed in quickly and jumped after Link.
