"Link!" I screamed he was holding my hand tightly but the relentless rain wasn't helping I knew I was going to fall... I looked up at him with tears in my eyes before smiling softly. I also wasn't going to take him with me...
"I love you hero." I whispered.
"I love you too, you're going to make it!" I shook my head as the tears ran down his cheeks. His eyes widened "no Dark!" I twisted my wrist out of his hands. I watched him scream as I dropped down into the water and straight into the cold unforgiving waves beneath me. I think I might choke on all the water but it's strange, I can breathe. I open my eyes and I'm sinking deeper and deeper into the water and yet I'm alive. I look down to see myself falling into a strange bubble underneath the waves. I watch as I reach a small court yard finally landing on my feet on solid ground. a strange feeling begins to fill and constrict my body. Why did this place look so fucking familiar! I ignore the bells ringing in my head and I walked up the steps and into this place. When I walked inside I finally understood why, Hyrule castle... the reason Hyrule was gone was because it was buried here. But something was wrong here everything was grey, the castle was filled with Ganon's minions but they were frozen almost as if in time. they stood in the same position they must have been in when the flood happened. I looked around me in shock, who would have drowned Hyrule? Gannon wouldn't dare simply because he wishes to posses it. so why is it at the bottom of the ocean...? I walk through the castle hall, my steps echo loudly throughout the room. I reach these strange blocks in the shape of the triforce and just as I'm about to move them I feel a sharp pain in the back of my neck and I fall into what feels like someone's arms.
Link
when I awoke I looked around me, I was lying in a bed in an unfamiliar room. the woman from before... Via was standing over me her long black hair had changed to a light brown. I swallowed hard my mouth feeling really dry, I looked up towards Via who handed me a glass of water. I took it gratefully gulping down the water greedily. I sighed after leaving the glass empty. "how are you feeling hero." Via said sitting next to me her fingers pushing my hair away from my face. "my body feels really heavy like its covered in lead." I said lying back as Via looked away from me. "Dark?" I groaned crawling off the bed. "Dark?!" I looked towards Via who refused to meet my gaze, "where is Dark?" I could hear her taking a deep breath. "he didn't return with you." she said standing to face me. I opened my mouth to speak but couldn't find the words to say the questions to ask. "how can this be?" I said my legs giving out from under me as I hit the wooden floor. I lifted my hands to the mouth recalling what happened before that bird threw me out into the waves. I felt the tears run down my cheeks. my heart was shattering as I remembered Dark ripping his wrist from my grip. "Link are you alright." Via said kneeling down next to me. "how can I be fine... I just lost the other half of my soul." I whispered burying my face in my hands. "Link right now you have to focus, Ganon took the triforce of courage from you." I looked up at her. "right now I don't care about the goddess damned triforce. I'm going to go look for Dark." I said standing up heading to grab my shield before heading to the door. "he's dead." I froze my whole body going into shock as I caught myself on the door frame. "how do you know that?" I screamed spinning around to face her. I took a step back when I saw her eyes brighten a few shades as she glared at me. "I am a goddess, the moment Dark fell into the waves he stopped breathing within minutes." I sank to my knees again, Dark is really dead. I felt so empty. I clutched the space where my heart should be wishing I could claw it out. I squeezed my eyes shut trying to stop the tears. Via came closer and placed a gentle hand on my cheek making me meet her gaze. her eyes were an unnatural color and I felt like I was getting lost in them. she swiped my tears away. I nodded sitting up looking at Vias gentle expression. "what do I do?" she kissed my forehead. " Hyrule needs your help once more hero of time." memories came flooding back of me saving Hyrule from Gannon almost marring princess Zelda. "I the goddess Via, I ask this of you find the triforce of wisdom that as scattered within the vast waves. when you do you will face Gannon once more and end him once and for good." I stood up nodding to the goddess before she handed me a beautiful black blade. "take this with you, I have mapped out the islands that hold a triforce within them." I took a map from her as she led me back to the boat. I made the boat go in the direction of the first triforce. I laid back looking at the sky tears rolling down my cheeks. This couldn't be happening. He's gone.. I'll never get him back. my heart constricted I just closed my eyes and cried. I felt lost without him, Dark had always been by my side thick and thin. I felt useless I let him die, I let him fall and every time I closed my eyes I saw it replay all over again. I see him slip from my hands and fall into the merciless waves. I feel myself wish I hadn't been saved wish that he had been saved in my place. He'd know what to do, he could do all of this, I just used his strength.
