Me: Hehehe, Chapter six!
Mike: You seem to be in a good mood.
Me: Of course I am. Our only reviewer has chosen his prize. Hehehe. Don't worry JtheChosen1 I gave my word and I intend to keep it. And, once again, you must wait to see how the plot develops.
Jack: You don't have the slightest idea, do you?
Damian: Of course he does. He has to stick to the canon for the most part. And besides, where would be the fun in reading if you already know what is going to happen?
Me: Exactly. Now…On with the disclaimer!
Damian: He is only my master.
Me: GO!
We join Link in the outside of Hyrule Castle…
"Why do these guards have to be so freaking annoying? I only want to see the Great Fairy (GF) not kidnapp the princess." Link grumbled after being thrown out for the fifth time.
"Well, it's your own fault. You keep wandering in the open. You have to be stealthier." Navi said slightly exasperated. Link continued grumbling but did as Navi said and found an "inconspicuous" pair of rocks.
"Wonder why those rocks are here. Anyway, let's blow them up!" Link said, happy to put his bombs to good use. After blowing the rocks he found a small hole and crawled inside. "Damn I'm good! I found the fountain! Go me." Link said happily and played Zelda's Lullaby. The loud obnoxious laughter filled the room. "Damn that's annoying." Link said.
"Greetings young one. I'm the GF of Magic. I'll grant you a magic spell." The GF said and threw Link a small crystal. "If that's all…"
"Wait! I was wondering if you could tell me about a friend of mine…" Link said. The GF just floated there and looked at Link.
"You mean the Child of Darkness that normally travels with you? Yes, I know of him. But I cannot tell you about him. We, the Great Fairies, have recently made an oath not to talk about him." The GF said and disappeared.
"Why is it no one knows Damian's past and those who know it have sworn not to tell?" Link wondered and left. He paid the Mask Salesman and received the Mask of Truth. "I wonder why he wants this." Link asked himself. He followed the river and encountered the Owl perched on a wall next to some rocks.
"Ah, we meet again young hero." The Owl said and gave another boring speech. "Well, I will distract you no longer." The Owl said and prepared to set flight.
"Wait! I wondered if you could-" Link began but was cut short by the Owl.
"Yes, I know whom you speak about, but I cannot tell you anything he doesn't want to tell you himself." The Owl said and took flight.
"So, I have to ask him directly. Damn, I hope he's in a good mood." Link said and continued following the river. He arrived at the waterfall and began pacing around. "Fuck! Damian didn't tell me how to enter Zora's Domain. Now, what do I have to do?" Link said and continued to pace around until he noticed something engraved in the ground. "Huh?" He approached it and read. "Damn, so all I have to do is play Zelda's Lullaby?" He did it and the waterfall split open. After congratulating himself he entered the gate and found himself in Zora's Domain.
"You finally arrive, Link." Said a voice behind him. Link did a replay of what he had done in Death Mountain (Chapter 5) and turned to glare at the owner of the voice.
"Damn it Damian! Why do you enjoy doing that?!" Link asked.
"Comic amusement." Damian said shrugging. "Besides I deem it payback for taking so long. What, decided to make out again with the little bitch? Or did her nana catch your eye? You should learn to keep it in your pants." Damian said smirking at Link's blush.
"I hate you, you know that?" Link said glaring daggers at Damian.
"Only too well. Come, we need to give this letter to the king." Damian said and began walking in the direction of the throne room. "Oh, before I forget. Take this scale Link, it will allow you to hold your breath longer." Damian said and gave Link a silver scale. They arrived at the throne room and Damian told the king that Lord Jabu-Jabu had swallowed Princess Ruto and that they could help her, he showed the king a letter and the king allowed them to pass. "Let's go, Link. There's another GF fountain in this area, you should visit her. I'll just wait outside." Damian said and led Link to a cave. Link entered and played "bitch's lullaby" as Damian called it. The loud obnoxious laughter sounded yet again. After being gifted with Farore's Wind he asked the GF to who had they sworn not to speak about Damian.
"Do NOT speak his name, young one! A force far greater than that of the goddesses has demanded that we do not speak about him." The GF said and disappeared. Link exited still thinking what kind of force could be more powerful than the goddesses. He didn't see Damian and went around looking for him. He found him staring right into Jabu-Jabu's eyes.
"I could tell him. But what would be the point? It won't change a thing." Damian said, apparently talking to Jabu-Jabu. "He is here, open up you fat bastard!" Jabu-Jabu opened its mouth and swallowed them.
"WHAT'S WITH THE SPIRITUAL STONES AND ME HAVING TO ENTER MOUTHS ALL THE TIME?!" Link yelled.
"Who knows? We should get going. We need to find another brat." Damian said, looking in a far worse mood Link had seen him in a long time. A few minutes and several electric shocks later they found Princess Ruto. After confirming Damian's diagnose of being a brat she fell through a hole in the ground and they had to follow her. Several hours later (they had to stop so Link could rest his arms) they were in a room with flying stingrays and a not so deep pool. Damian, whose mood had only worsened, got sick of watching Link miss with his slingshot. "Gah! That's it! I'm gonna kill these bitches myself!" He roared and began focusing a large amount of energy. "I command you to burn my enemies into oblivion! Come forth river of the damned! Phlegethon!" Damian said and the water turned red and began to boil. The enemies staying there cried in pain and did not rise.
"Holy Shit, Damian! What the hell was that?! And is that blood?!" Link asked now doubly afraid of pissing Damian off.
"That's the Phlegethon. The River of Boiling Blood. It's where the souls of the wrathful and the slothful suffer eternal punishment. It's a dark spell known only to those of my bloodline. I'll tell you about that later, right now we have more pressing issues." Damian said. After carrying Ruto for a few more hours and finding the Boomerang they found the Zora Sapphire. Ruto started to wriggle and Link threw her up. After she was kidnapped and killing a giant octopus. They continued to advance. "That's the core of this fucker. Let's go in and make sure to kill the source of the jellyfishes." Damian said. They entered and Link saw a giant mutant. "That's Barinade a mutant. Hit it with your boomerang and keep on doing that." Damian said and sidestepped a thunderbolt. Link did as he was told and kept doing that until a thunderbolt was headed for him.
"Damn, guess this is it." Link said and closed his eyes awaiting death…
"GAAAAHHHHHH!!!" A scream of pain ripped the air. Link opened his eyes and saw Damian twitching because of the continued thunderbolt hitting him. "S-s-snap o-o-out o-of I-it. K-k-kill it!" Damian said. Link nodded and killed Barinade.
"You ok man?" Link asked.
"Of course I'm ok you asshole. That was merely a thunderbolt. I've survived worse." Damian said standing up. "Now, let's get out of this giant sardine." Damian said and vanished into the shadows.
"Why did he do that?" Link asked and saw Ruto waiting for him in the blue light. "I see." Link said wishing he could vanish into the shadows too.
After a lot of yelling and Link falling into the water Ruto got to the point. "I will give you the Sapphire but you have to marry me in the future." Ruto said.
"Hehehe, mind if I'm your best man?" Damian said snickering. Link shot a glare at him and took the Zora's Sapphire. "Well that is the last one. I suppose that soon it'll be goodbye, huh? I guess I should tell you a bit about me." Damian said. "I'll tell you a bit now and the rest in the ranch after you take those trinkets to the little bitch." Damian said and his eyes became glassy. "I'm a Child of Darkness. My father gave me a mark, and that became my surname, the Shinotsuki, the Moon of Death. My parents died when I was seven. And that's as far as you will hear here." Damian said and began to leave. "I'll see you later…my friend." He said and left.
"Wow, he really did tell me about himself. And he thinks of me as a friend." Link said to himself. He left and walked to the castle, he reached it and it started to rain. After a series of events that we all know by heart (at least those of us who have played OoT) Link got the Ocarina of Time and learnt the Song of Time. He walked into the Temple of Time and played the Song. He saw the Master Sword and took it. It all went to hell after that.
Me: That's it! The end of the childhood arc! The real chaos starts now!
Damian: So I no longer matter?
Me: What?! You're as important as Link! Of course you'll be back! Sharpen your blades.
Damian: Very well. Read and Review.
