Chapter 3
The Book
The next day Ganondorf went into the attic to put some boxes in it. He noticed a box in the corner and went to have a look inside it. All he found was an old book. It had no title or author and it was sealed. No matter how hard he tried to open it he wasn't able to. He took it downstairs and put it in a drawer. He didn't know what to do with it but he couldn't bring himself to leave it in the attic or throw it away. Somehow he knew it was important.
Later
on he went into the town. He had employed someone to look after the
house and to look after his son. While he was out he got some food
and essential supplies. On his way back he noticed a shop in a side
alley that interested him. It was called (). He started walking
towards the shop and he started to feel uneasy. He got to the shop
and had a look inside. He couldn't see inside. It was pitch black.
He wondered if it was closed but the sign on the door said it was
open. He went inside and found that he cold see perfectly. He
wondered if a light had come on when he had entered but when he
looked around he couldn't see any. He looked back at the window and
he couldn't see out of it. He was beginning to get suspicious and a
bit worried. He was about to leave when he heard a voice,
'Leaving
so soon?' the thing said.
Ganondorf turned around and tried to
find the source of the voice but he couldn't see anything.
'Where
are you?' Ganondorf said, trying not to sound worried.
'I'm
here' said the voice.
Ganondorf realised the voice was coming
from the shadows in the corner of the room. He couldn't see
anything but then suddenly a figure emerged. It looked like a man but
he was wearing a hood and Ganondorf wasn't able to see his face.
'Who are you' Ganondorf asked.
'That is not important'
the man replied, 'more importantly, who are you and what will you
be?'
'I don't understand' Ganondorf replied.
'I can
see your future and you will become powerful, but the power will
corrupt you. It will control you and there is nothing you can do
about it!'
'What are you saying?'
'Your future has been
foretold and there is nothing you can do about it'
'You're
crazy' Ganondorf replied. 'I'm a good person' He turned to
leave then the person spoke.
'Exactly 1 hour after you arrive
home you will hear a noise in the kitchen. When you see what is there
I suggest having a look in that book you found'
'How do you
know about the book?' Ganondorf asked surprised.
'I know
everything about you.'
'How?' 'Anyway it doesn't matter
I can't open the book, it's sealed'.
'When you need the
book, it will open' the man replied. Then he disappeared into thin
air.
Ganondorf quickly left the shop and went straight home.
He had been thinking about what had happened all the way home and he was still finding it hard to believe. He couldn't understand what had happened and he was starting to believe that he had imagined it. He decided that he had imagined it all and the reason that the man had disappeared was that he never existed in the 1st place.
About 40 minutes later he heard something in the kitchen and he became worried. Maybe what happened had been real? He walked towards the kitchen and had a look inside. He almost screamed. There was a giant Lizard going through his food. He had no idea what to do but then he remembered what the man had said. He said he would hear something in the kitchen 1 hour after he got home. He had heard it exactly an hour after he got home. He had also said that when it happened he should look at the book he had found. He walked over to the drawer he had put it in. He was trying to be as quiet as he could, he didn't want the lizard to hear him. He opened the drawer and took out the book. He found that he was able to open it easily. He started to look through it but he couldn't understand a word of it. He wondered how this was supposed to help him. He read one of the words out loud and his book cabinet suddenly caught fire. He jumped back and accidentally swore. The Lizard heard this and came rampaging into the room. Then it saw Ganondorf and started moving toward him. He wasn't sure what to do so he said the word again and the Lizard caught fire. He watched the Lizard die and for some reason that he couldn't explain he enjoyed it. It was only then that he realised what the book was. It was a book of Dark Magic and it was evil. He realised that if he continued to use it, it would begin to control him. He decided he shouldn't use it anymore. He put it in a drawer and locked it away. He then started to clean up the house. It took him over an hour. When he was done he felt very tired and went to sleep. Downstairs he was unaware of the person wearing a dark cloak that had appeared from nowhere and taken the book.
