'' Wake up.'' I heard a voice echoing through my head. Am I dreaming?
'' Wake up I said! '' I heard the same voice shout at me as I felt something hard hit my stomach.
I gasped as my eyes popped open, still seeing blurred up images above me. I felt this intense sick feeling rising up as I started to cough
while turning to my side and vomit on the ground next to me.
'' Damn you! look at the mess you created. '' I heard the voice say irritated.
I quickly got up from where I laid and tried to stand without stumbling but because I still saw everything going in circles, it felt impossible to do so.
Eventually I managed to stand still while using my arms to hold my balance as best as I could.
'' Hahahahaha, look at you! you look like a ballerina. '' The voice laughed.
I knew the voice came from the front , yet I tried to blink a few times but my vision remained the same.
'' Mhhh, you still can't see well do you? '' I heard the voice chuckle and I slowly heard something coming towards me as my body tensed up from anxiety.
I heard a clap and some enchanted words. Slowly my vision started to get sharp again.
I gasped and quickly stepped away as I saw what stood in front of me. '' Zant? '' I said in shock.
'' Zant? No No, My name is Twilias. '' The creature said as he jumped around in the same manner as Zant used to do.
At first he looked like Zant allot, yet he was shorter than him, and he didn't wore a mask like Zant did, Twilias face fully revealed to me.
Even his clothes were lighter from appearance yet with the same Twilight decorations on them.
'' However, I am a part of Zant you know, but I'm sure you know that already. '' Twilias said, still jumping around.
'' Why would I know that? '' I spoke in a serious tone.
Twilias instantly stopped jumping and looked at me for a long moment with his dark snake looking eyes, his pupils crimson red. I tried to be brave but with each second he stared at me, slowly my nerves were getting the best of me.
Twilias mouth turned into a psychotic smirk which gave me goose bumps, turning me into stone.
Within one second he instantly jumped and stood before me and stared at me even more horrifying.
His eyes were locked on me, as I felt my heart was about to stop beating. '' Because.. I also came out of you. '' Twilias said as his evil smirk turned even more wider.
'' W-What? '' I spoke while shivering, my breath instantly vanished. Twilias laughed and jumped up again but this time he kept on floating in front of me.
'' Yes, don't you remember oh mighty Hero? '' Twilias said while holding his hand on his mouth and chuckled.
'' What are you talking about? '' I asked again.
'' Hoo, you really don't remember anymore do you? '' Twilias said smirking while floating from left to right.
'' I'll give you a hint. '' He said as he turned himself into the Crystal Shadow and then turned himself back again. '' The Crystal Shadow.. No..It can't be! It got removed completely out of me when I received the Master Sword back then at Sacred Gro-'' ''WRONG! '' Twilias shouted interruptive while he chuckled as he kept on
floating around in circles. He slowly hovered back on the ground and stood in front of me grinning.
'' You never lost it..completely.''
I looked at him in shock, not knowing what to say. '' Of course I did, Midna said so! '' I shouted.
'' Tssk, Midna. She is just a foolish little princess who thinks she knows everything about our tribe and its magic.
I wouldn't have mind if that idiot of a Zant became the king of Twilight you know. At least he knew something about the ancient magic our ancestors possessed.''
'' Ancient Magic?... you mean the Fused Shadows? ''
'' No!No!No! Damn what kind of a Hero are you? Did nobody ever informed you on anything during that little Hero trip of yours? '' Twilias said annoyed.
He shook his head and floated back in the air in front of me again.
'' I am no ordinary Crystal Shadow you see, I was created long after the goddesses created Hyrule. Before the Triforce was created there was another power known as the Crystal Occulos. The Crystal Occulos was however considered too powerful to be handled by any powerless being, so they locked it
away in solitude for decades. Eventually a tribe which you know as the Twilight Tribe managed to get their hands on it and took the power.
But they didn't know how to handle it, and slowly the magic turned them all insane and made them fight against their own.
The goddesses knew about this and destroyed parts of the magic, but one part remained in this world. That part is Me.
Those who have a strong heart are able to command me, but that fool of a Zant thought he could do the same thing.
So in the end I drove him mad and made him hang himself. '' Twilias said while laughing.
''... That's why I've been acting this way ever since I came back from Hyrule..you did this. '' I said as I looked at him both angry and shocked.
'' Ahh!.. so you are smart. Indeed it was me. After your sudden loss of the Triforce of Courage which was able to restrict my control on you, I slowly started to consume your mind. '' Twilias said as he turned into a dark spirit and started hovering around me.
'' It was fun to see you in so much pain and despair, you were the most entertaining fool I'd ever possessed in ages. '' Twilias said laughing.
With pure anger I grabbed the spirit who, instantly turned back into Twilias, by his throat and held my grip tight.
'' How dare you..for a whole year you made me suffer, you made me alienate and hurt my loved ones. You made me think of suicide. I was starting to lose myself,
but it had nothing to do with how I thought about myself. '' I said as I squeezed harder and looked at him with dead in the eyes.
'' Well, Well, so it seems you do have what it takes to slightly have some control on me, with or without the power of the Triforce. But you know Link.. You shouldn't get all angry just on me you know. That Human Princess knew what was going on with you and she still decided not to help you. ''
Twilias said as he grabbed the hand I held his throat with.
'' Human Princess... Zelda? '' I asked in shock as my grip loosened.
'' Correct. She knew I possessed you. She knew what would happen to you. She even had the knowledge granted to her through the Triforce of Wisdom
to help you out. But she just didn't. Instead she made you leave Hyrule. Knowing that the situation you were in could've been your end. ''
'' No.. Zelda would never... What makes you think I will believe you? '' I shouted at him angry.
'' Don't be foolish Link. Instead of giving you the credits for killing Ganondorf, Instead she told everyone it was she who killed him. Making you look like a complete fool out there. She knew that one day you would go insane because of me and she wouldn't want people to know anything about you.
That's why she didn't stopped you directly when you left Hyrule that day. You played your part, you saved Hyrule from catastrophe and she lets you go like some trash. She wanted YOU to die Link. '' Twilias said. '' S-She did? '' I asked in shock.
'' Yes Link. Zelda isn't fair. She is selfish, and if this alone doesn't prove to you that I'm telling the truth, then I have one question for you.
Who do you think has your Triforce of Courage now?..'' Twilias looked at me with half opened eyes and examined my face.
I looked at him with my mouth slightly open. '' But..But..Why? Why would Zelda have-... '' I stopped and looked at Twilias, As everything started to fall in its place.
'' Do you understand now Link?.. Zelda knew that by taking away your Triforce, I would have full control over you, and that it would be a matter of time before you would die because of me. She never was planning on helping you, what she said back then at the Mirrors Chamber was a lie. Zelda deceived you. '' Twilias said as he turned around and placed his hand on the ground and slowly a dark magic portal appeared.
'' Hero of Time, I really hated you. The reason my ancestors have all perished is because the goddesses chose to create the Triforce, along with the..chosen ones. '' Twilias said as he turned his head around and looked at me.
'' I really wished for your death, so let this be clear to you. However... I've changed my mind. ''
Twilias fully turned around and looked at me with a serious yet haunting expression. '' My time existing in this world has almost reached its end and I slowly feel my powers are leaving me with each season passing by, that's why I wasn't able to fully control you during the year. However, I still plan on killing one person.
And I've chosen that it will not be you. I slowly have come to pity you Link. The things that you had to endure to stop Ganondorf, I've seen it all the moment the Crystal Shadow which was me, was merged inside of you. Yet this horrible princess took away everything and made us ridiculous at the town that day. I saw the faces people were giving us through your eyes. Back then you still had your control on me, otherwise I would've killed the princess back then. Yes.
I wish to murder princess Zelda. She is a big part of the reason for the death of my ancestors. ''
'' No you won't. I won't allow it.'' I said while looking at him dead serious.
'' So you're planning on protection Zelda? even thought she took away your Triforce so you could die because of me? '' Twilias asked.
I thought about what he said, It all made sense, not one thing of it didn't. But letting Zelda get killed...
I frowned and looked at Twilias again, who smirked when he saw my uncertain expression.
'' Listen carefully Link, for I have a plan that will benefit the both of us. If you agree to go back to Hyrule Castle and kill princess Zelda for me, I will not only aid you with my powers but let you take your Triforce of Courage back. In that way you can be certain that I nor anyone else will ever bother again.
It will also have you take revenge on the girl..because you are angry at her, don't you Link? '' Twilias said.
'' What do you mean? '' I said, trying to sound as if I didn't know what he was talking about.
'' Come on Link, stop the games. I know exactly what your hidden thoughts or feelings are. Don't try to hide them away from me.'' Twilias said as he turned himself into Princess Zelda and stood in front of me.
'' Oh Hero of Time, thank you so much for saving my kingdom. But I, Princess Zelda, couldn't possibly have the same feelings for someone like you, a farmer boy.
You were just my little servant. Nothing more. I shall marry someone of a high rank, go ahead and pity yourself all you want, it won't change anything for
you silly boy! hahaha.'' Twilias said in Zelda's voice as he kept on laughing with his hand covering her mouth and staring seductively at me.
I couldn't help it but, I felt the same old anger boiling up inside of me again.
'' My people I have saved my kingdom, I have encountered many obstacles but with the power given to me by the goddesses I was able to kill Ganondorf and bring peace back to Hyrule. It was all me. Cheer for me my people. ''
Zelda spoke loudly as she suddenly started circling herself around me and held me close to her and made me look into her eyes. '' I hope you don't mind me
misinforming the people of Hyrule Oh great Hero, but if they would be told that a peasant boy was the savior of Hyrule then they would never believe it of course don't you think so? '' Zelda said as she slowly made her lips move towards mine.
'' GET AWAY FROM ME YOU DECEIVING BITCH! '' I said as I pushed Zelda away. She chuckled and slowly Twilias returned into his own form again and crossed his arms around and stood next to the magic portal.
'' So what will it be Link? Will you accept my request? If so, then please step inside the portal. It will warp you back to Ordon Village. '' Twilias said as his hand gestured towards the centre of the portal.
Pure hatred was flowing through my veins. Zelda's ancestors who put this fate on me. Zelda who Lied to me. Zelda who stole my pride and my dignity away that day. Zelda who used me as a tool to save Hyrule. Zelda who once the job was done tossed me away like trash and above all...Zelda who knew I was cursed with the Crystal Shadow but didn't informed nor came to my aid because she had rather wanted me dead than alive.
I walked towards the centre of the magic portal and stared at Twilias with eyes that were ready to kill.
'' ... Excellent. '' Twilias said smiling with a satisfied look in his dark eyes as he closed the portal with his hand.
