Dark Reminence
If there was ever a time when Link had ever felt truly in love, it was when he saved Ruto in Jabu's stomach, and when he finally married Ruto, Link could never have felt better, he was now not only the proud husband of his true love, he was soon to be the first non-Zoran ruler to the Zoran throne.
'(I can always fix that.)' Link thought as he looked at the box he kept his Zora's Mask in, he could always pose as a Zora to make it so no one would feel disgusted that he was ruling. Surprisingly enough though, nobody thought that it was a bad thing that he was next in line for the throne, Hell some people just thought it was the best thing that could happen, Link was glad no one was thinking of him in a bad way, besides the point he went back into the bedroom to see Ruto was still sleeping, he thought she looked cuter asleep, he decided to get her a present, so he grabbed his Zora Tunic and got ready to leave, before he did, he went over to Ruto's side of the bed and gave her a kiss on cheek and went out, he went to the knight's quarters and told two men and one woman to come with him and they all swam towards Hyrule Castle using the bridge water, though they had to get out of the water to go onto the bridge of course, and the bridge lowered and the 4 Zorans (Link counts as a Zora now.) went inside to Hyrule Town.
It was very busy today, there was trading, betting, training, you name it, the whole town was in an uproar about how a Hyrulian married a Zora, (sound familiar?) and needless to say, once they saw the 4 Zorans (Once again Link included.) they couldn't help but just stare at them. After a few minutes, they turned their attention back to what they were doing, while one of the Zoras was wiping his mouth clean of the water.
"Good Godess!! Do you understand how bad that water tasted, jeez!!!' He shouted as he kept trying to wipe his mouth clean of the 'horrible' water, Link couldn't help but chuckle a bit, but he kept focused, he then spotted something that caught his eye, he saw a fish bone guitar, he thought Ruto might like that, and then he also saw a shining blue pendant, that was really what caught his eye and he saw the price, luckily it was only 300 Rupees due to a special sale that day, Link checked to make sure he had enough rupees to buy it and he walked towards the salesman and told him what he wanted and he got it for him, Link payed for it and saw the Zorans buying something for themselves so he decided to wait for a few moments for them to get what they wanted, after they were done they went towards Link and he pointed to the exit, signifying that it is time to go home. They all had to walk home because some of the Zorans wanted to keep their items dry, while they were walking, Link decided to get to know the other Zorans better, plus it was getting dark and they would need to set up camp.
'Camp...here...' Said Link, the Zorans nodded and went to work setting up the camp, they had brought wood with them just incase it got dark before they got home.
'AGHHH!!!!!!! Why did it have to get dark so fast?!?!?' Said the same Zoran who hated the water, Link learned that his name, was Seymour, he was clonked on the head by the only female Zoran Knight.
'You moron, you wanta let the monsters know we are here?' Said the Female Zora, Link also learned that her name was Maria, the oldest more experienced one was just getting the fire started, Link learned that his name, was Piros, he was the one who led the attack to save Link all those days ago.
'You two should calm down, after all the monsters always go after the ones who talk most.' Yawned Piros, the other two then immediately shut up and went into their tents, since Link thought it was the time to talk to Piros he reached for his Zoran Mask, only to remember he left it in Zora's Domain in the bedroom, Link sighed and just sat down on a stump.
'I hope they didn't irritate you milord.' Said Piros as he continued trifling with the fire, Link just shook his head.
'They...are...young.' Said Link, Piros nodded and thought about how many battles he had been in with Link only to usually have Link save his butt in the end, it was because of Link that Piros met his wife, so Piros not only owed Link his life, he owed him his happiness.
'They really should think up new career paths, they could get killed in some of the battles that lie ahead, I know how much bloodshed you've seen.' Said Piros, Link just looked at the ground, remembering everything that happened on both of his journeys, Link thought of all the people he killed just to save the world, he also thought of how he met Princess Ruto, that was one of his favorite adventures, before he could reminence more about his past endeavors a dark figure came forth and unsheathed its sword and charged at Link, only to be blocked by Piros' axe, Seymour and Maria came out and Seymour grabbed his spear, while Maria grabbed her sword and Link also grabbed the Siren's Blade and they charged at the enemy who just kept blocking slash after slash.
Piros tried to cut him into two peices but the figure dodged and kicked Piros in the stomach and smashed him in the face with the hilt of it's sword knocking Piros to the ground and it smashed him with a knee drop, and was about to decapitate him when Seymour blocked it with his spear, he tried to slash at the figure but it just kept moving, then he tried to stab it, only to have the figure grab his spear and throw him into one of the tents. The figure then walked towards the tent to see Seymour unconcious and was about to kill him with his own spear when another Zora got in the way, she charged at him and tried to slash at his feet, only to have it blocked by it's sword and she got a kick in the face, but she still stoop up and took out her Zoran Bow and pulled back and arrow with Ice Magic on it, (Zoras can use magic) and fired it, the figure blocked it but his arm was frozen over, Maria smirked and drew another arrow, only to have it burned, apparently the dark figure could use magic as well, he unfroze his arm and did a flip kick on Maria sending her up, he jumped up and charged up a dark kick and smashed it into her stomach sending her to the ground, and hard. Once again the figure was about to kill her as well, but a blue blade intercepted his sword, he turned and saw Link pull back his arm and shoot it forward giving the figure a big puch to the face, the figure then locked eyes with Link and the two engaged in a sword fight, Link slashed at it's stomach but the figure blocked and tried to stab Link, but Link jumped onto his blade and stabbed him, but for some reason the figure was smiling, then when he and Link got closer to the fire, Link recognized who it was, someone he thought he destroyed.
'No...not...possible...' Said Link as he stepped back pulling the Siren's Blade out of the figure, it was Dark Link, he smiled and looked at Link.
'...Fight...' Hissed Dark Link as he grabbed his sword, Link nodded and they resumed fighting, Link kicked him in the face only to have Dark Link punch him in the face, the two were evenly matched matching blow for blow, Link tried to slash at his head, Dark Link blocked that and slashed at Link's stomach drawing blood, Link grabbed his stomach and slashed at Dark Link's leg again drawing white blood, Dark Link was wounded as bad as Link, but before Link could do anything, he was kicked in the stomach and dropped the Siren's Blade, Dark Link was standing over him victoriously.
'Die...now...' Said Dark Link, he raised his sword, but before he could do anything, he was stabbed in the back of the head by a beautifal white sword, Link turned to see it was the Master Sword and Ruto was holding it.
'Stay away from my husband.' Said Ruto as she twisted the blade in Dark Link's head, he was about to stab her by reversing his sword, but Link grabbed the Siren's Blade and stabbed it into his head as well, the blood was just pooring down from him, then Link and Ruto both brought their swords back and decapitated him, and his body dissapeared in a white light, Ruto ran over to Link and hugged him, Link almost fell down, but he stood up.
'Link are you alright, you had me scared when I thought you left me!' Cried Ruto as she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, Link kissed her back, and digged his hand into his pocket and brought out the pendant he bought her, Ruto just gasped at what she saw, it was just a beautifal blue pendant that matched not only her skin, but her eyes as well.
'I...got...this...for...you...' Said Link as he stumbled a bit, Ruto then saw the other Zoras and decided to help them, she first walked over to Piros to help him up, he thanked her and said he would get Seymour and Maria home, Ruto thanked him for helping Link and he smiled.
'He'd do the same for me milady.' He said as he bowed and heaved Seymour and Maria onto his shoulders, grabbed their weapons, put them in the pack that they had, and went towards Zora's Domain as fast as he could, Link and Ruto decided to swim back to Zora's Domain thinking it might be a bad idea to walk after what just happened, before they did, Ruto put her pendant around her neck and sheathed the Master Sword, Link did the same with the Siren's Blade and the both swam back to Zora's Domain holding thei hands together in peace.
