Chapter 7
(Anastazia's P.O.V)
Jumping back quickly in response to the Dark Sorceress's presence, I grew my sword and held it up in defense. "YOU!" I said. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"
She giggled. "Me? I should be asking you. You are supposed to be dead. You and your father. So, why are you here?" Cia walked around me with her scepter in hand glowing brightly with her dark magic.
"Please, I know how to defy death. As does Ganondorf."
"Tell me, how did you come back?"
"Ways I would rather not say. Especially to you. Now leave me alone. I have a mission to complete. I began walking in front of her but she stopped me with her hand.
"Oh no, honey. You listen to me now."
I shoved her hand off of me. "Bitch get out of my way. And, if you ever touch me again, I will plunge this sword into your chest and rip them out in a aslow fishion. Giving you the most agonizing and painful way to die. I shall watch the blood wash over your fake breasted chest and pour into a pool of lies and giggles." She swallowed hard in fear. I was talking so close to her that she was leaning back in an arched position.
"Do you understand me?"
She nodded slowly, but that wasn't good enough for me. So, I whacked her across her face with my gold plated glove, leaving marks on her cheek.
"I SAID, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!"
"Yes, I understand you!"
The corners of my lips curled up. "Good. Now run along. I don't want to see your face again."
She ran away quickly while I laughed wickedly.
"Ganon? Why couldn't you ever do that? I asked him.
"Well, I have done that, but she never listens."
Anyways, where do I go to find-"
"Lake Hylia." He said instantly.
"Huh?"
"Lanayru Provinces lake. The light spirit lives there! Now, continue on your way and WALK FASTER DAMMIT! This is not something you should be slow about."
"God, would you just shut up! I know I'm walking slowly!" I yelled at Ganon while making my way towards Lake Hylia. I couldn't help but notice that the temperature seemed to be dropping rapidly each step when I neared it. I remembered Lake Hylia perfectly, but I didn't recall it being this cold. There were a few reasons why I remembered it so well. One, Ganondorf used to take me there when I was 13 to train. Two, I would sometimes run away and always found my way to the lake. And three, I faked my death there.
"Where is that cold coming from?" I asked myself, while seeing my breath in front of me. I folded my arms across my shivering body, trying to maintain some heat that I still had. I began walking on the bridge that overlooked the entire lake, but I noticed something odd when I looked over the edge.
Where's the water?, I thought. There was literally no water in the lake at all! It was basically a puddle.
"Well, why don't you go find out why it's a puddle! Oh, and while you're at it, FIND THE GOD DAMN LIGHT SPIRIT!" Ganondorf shouted. His voice caused another splitting headache to rip through my head.
I whimpered in pain that was caused by both Ganon, and my freezing body. It took awhile for me to even start moving. "W-why d-did I l-leave m-my cloak in t-the Twilight R-realm?" I stuttered through chattering teeth. Starting my decent to the lair, I tried to keep warm.
When I finally got to the lairs entrance, I was shivering like a Chihuahua. My hands were trembling uncontrollably, my ears were the same color as my hair, lips were chapped. I was overall miserable. Anyways, I dragged my near hypothermia-stricken body into the spring, but nearly fell.
As I approached the spring where there was vast amounts of light that penetrated my iris'. I saw a floating creature above the water as well. It was a giant serpent. The snake was a bright gold with large fangs that held a ball of light within them. Knowing that this would take awhile due to my condition, I decided to move my whole body at once hoping that it would take the pain away. When I jerked my body, there was only pain. Nothing else but pain.
"YOU THERE!" I shouted in my strongest voice that I could produce right now. "Are you Lanayru?"
The snake whipped his body around to face me. Due to being in the Twilight Realm for so long and retaining my ability to roam in both the light and twilight, I was able to withstand the harsh light that Lanayru gave off.
"Who dares step into my lair without my permission!?" He bellowed in his god-like voice that bounced from wall to wall.
"I-I do." My voice grew to be only a whisper.
"Well, who are you? Are you the source of why the Zora Village has frozen over?!"
I shook my head. 'N-no."
"Then why are you here?"
"L-light?" I managed to say.
"You mean MY light? The very light that I was sworn to protect?"
"Yes?"
Lanayru held back. "MY LIGHT!" He exclaimed like a selfish child. Frustrated and with no other option, I raised my near frozen hand, which sent a blast of dark magic to the light spirit, causing him to scream and the light vanished. I hid the light within bugs that I cursed so no one could see them. I saw that the color of the area began to flood over in hues of oranges and browns. Twilight matter floated from the land and into the sky. It was depressing.
I began backing up, keeping my eyes on the lair as it slowly descended into a state of sadness, until I bumped into someone. Shaking, I turned slowly to see Zant. He quickly retracted his face mask revealing his ugly bowling-pin head.
"Excellent, Anastazia." He said kindly, but had an added sense of sarcasm. "Looks, like you DO take instructions well"
"W-what's that s-supposed to m-mean?" I stuttered through chattering teeth. I soon began to feel light headed so my balance was quite off.
"What's your problem girl?"
"C-cold." I muttered plainly. "D-do you h-have a b-blanket or s-something?"
Zant set a robed hand to his chin. "Why yes, I do."
My eyes melted a bit. "G-great, w-where?"
He then leaned in close to my face. "Sorry sweetie, but you can't have it. I thought you could endure anything. Including blistering cold."
I glared at him, but couldn't keep my gaze for long, because my body started giving out. I fell to one knee whimpering in my discomfort.
"Pathetic. You and your father. How stupid of me to listen to him after he gave me an order to take care of his wimpy, idiotic, daddy's girl?"
I had no strength to yell at him.
"Know this, Anastazia." Zant clenched my face in hand. His retched breath burning my eyes. I felt small tears begin their decent down my face. "Don't pull this stuff on me."
"B-but, I-I'm cold."
Suddenly, he got up and before I could follow, he backhanded my face, causing my already weakened body to fall to the ground. He left without another word.I then heard the sound of someones heavy steps and clanking armor. I didn't bother to look up because it would only cause more pain. The noise stopped when I felt my dying body be pried off of the ground and was being carried out of the lair.
"W-whats going on?" I managed to say. The person who carried me said nothing. Their metal gloved hands made the ice burns on my back worsen with the sharpness of pain. I began crying harder and set my head against the persons chest plate, feeling the iciness run through my body.
"HOW DARE YOU HIT HER!" A familiar voice yelled. I picked my head up, which hurt a bit and sound that I had about five comforters on top of me. My body felt weak, but warm. My face was sore same with my shoulders and back. I looked around to see where I was. It was some kind of cave that protected anyone from the harsh weather. A large fire burned in the middle as well. I heard two people arguing outside.
"SHE COULD HAVE DIED!" The same voice exclaimed.
"B-but, I thought you-"
"WHAT DID I SAY OUR DEAL WAS?! You better not harm a single scarlet hair on her head? You backhanded her because she was cold! How could you be so inconsiderate!?"
"You are the epitome of inconsideration!"
When I finally managed to get out of the blankets I started following the voices to see who's they belonged to. Hobbling my way out, I peered around the corner and my eyes lit up at who it was. Not thinking at all, I ran and wrapped my arms around the neck of my father in my intense excitement and happiness.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't little miss Daddy's girl herself." it was Zant.
"Don't say that." I told Zant in a muffled tone. I let go of Ganon's neck and glared at him.
"WELL, IT'S TRUE!" He mocked with a stuck-up voice.
"I-" before I could say anything back, Ganon stepped in front of me, giving Zant and ample amount of time to escape. I was going to go after him but he stopped my movements.
"No, let him leave. I still need his life."
Ignoring what he said completely, I flung my arms around him, once again. "Why are you here?" I asked.
"As soon as Lanayru's light was stolen, I ended up falling through some portal thing into the puddle that was once the lake. Got my hair soaked and then it froze from the temperature! I knew you were going to the lair so I thought you were there because I didn't see you walk out. I found you huddled on the ground. Your skin was redder than your hair, and you were crying as well. I picked you up and quickly found a cave so you wouldn't die. When you were finally at a non-lethal body temperature and were asleep, I ordered Zant to speak with me."
I looked down and frowned, knowing that even though Ganondorf was here, I had a job to do. A job or mission that was going to anger me so much.
I wiped my eyes with my palm and looked down, trying not to show him my emotion. Suddenly, I felt my face being pressed against his chest in an overwhelming burst of carefulness that he showed towards me.
"Anastazia, what's the issue?" He asked, taking note of my tears.
"I don't want to work for Zant anymore." I admitted quietly. "He's worse than you. I mean, he hit me when I was dying! I'm sorry that I have a weakness to the cold, but that doesn't mean he should backhand me harshly."
Ganon smiled slightly. "And that must mean that I was abusive?"
"Yes, yes you were. But, you didn't abuse me when I was in a weakened state like he did. You would just take your anger out on me through 18 hour training sessions where I would get hit all the time when I began getting tired. Then there was the time you gave me my scar. You only abused me because you cared."
Ganondorf dragged me back to the cave where I sat down and had my head still on him. The fire burned brightly and I stared at the dancing flames as they pranced and sashayed over the cedarwood. The heat that was being produced filled the cave allowing my body to get the warmth it required.
"Anastazia. You do know that you still have to steal the light from the rest of the provinces right?"
"Why!"
Ganon shoved me away from him and looked me straight in the eyes, but I still had by arm around his. "You know just as much as I do, that I want to be fully resurrected. I need his trust to for surly get out of the Twilight Realm and his power over the Twilight. I need you to do what ever you can to-"
"AHAHA!" A high pitched cackle erupted from somewhere. It was so loud that it filled the entire cave with the sound wave. I felt Ganondorf's muscles tense up in anger, while he clenched his hands into fists.
"Ana." He said in a low and hatred filled tone, directed towards me. "Stay here."
He got up, leaving me alone once more. Though, as he was leaving I vanished from the cave and appeared outside where the voice came from. My hands trembled at what I saw. It was her. She was walking towards the cave. I tried to slash her with my sword, but she must have predicted the attack and stepped out of the way, causing me to fall to the ground.
"Ohh, my, my, I see you survived." She teased with a smile. "Shame that." I got up and brushed off my side.
Cia strode over to me and caressing my face along with wrapping her hand around my hair and pulling on it until I screamed.
"Not so tough now, are you Miss Duchess?" She growled.
"Let go of me!" I cried.
"No. I will not. It's your fault that I was thrown away."
My back was arched at an uncomfortable angle, causing more and more hot tears to trail down my face.
"If it wasn't for you then I would still be with him. Happier than ever."
"W-what are you talking about?"
Cia leaned in close to my face. "Oh, you don't know? Heh, I guess you have to hear it from me rather him. Your daddy, loves me. More than anyone, including you. He loves me with all his heart. You were just a replacement but he always compares you to me."
I couldn't tell if she was telling the truth or not. The tone of voice led me to believe that she was telling the truth, but then again this was Cia.
"CIA! GET AWAY FROM HER!" I heard Ganondorf's voice shout. Her eyes darted towards him causing a lovey-dovey look to show up on her face, symbolized by the blushing. "Oh, do-"
"How dare you come back to life! I thought I got rid of you!" He exclaimed while slashing her with his swords.
"Oh, no sweetie. I cannot die." She came up to Ganon's face and was unusually close, most likely to his discomfort. "Surly, you would have remembered."
"I chose to forget you." he growled.
Cia then whacked him on the head with her staff. "YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME!"
He held his head in pain. "OW! Must we have this conversation AGIAN!? Because I thought I made it clear that I will never love you."
Her eyes darted towards me. "Why don't you explain it to your carbon copy." She sneered and then left in a vortex of red smoke.
"Anastazia?"
"You loved her." I said softly.
"What?"
"You loved her." I repeated in a slightly louder voice, but not looking up at him.
"Ana, come here-"
"NO! Don't touch me! How could you love that, that, THING!" I yelled while getting up quickly and stepping away from him. My hand was raised in front of my face, stopping him rom going near me. My eyes became itchy and irritated due to my exessive crying.
"I-I can e-explain!" He tried to say, but I just ran away from him, not looking back.
"No, you can't. I...I'm done."
I exited the Twilight covered province and entered the province known as Eldin. I tore the headpiece off of my head, where I felt all of my hair flood down my back and shoulders in a wild mane of bright scarlet. I looked at the gold piece that held my hair and threw it behind me into the Lanayru province. Running a hand through it, I breathed heavily. My hands covered themselves with gloves similar to Ganon's, but I wasn't going to admit I got the idea from him. I looked back one last time and began to find the other spirit.
It may have taken awhile, but I managed to locate where the Spirit Spring was. It was in some kind of village known as Kakariko Village. It apparently was a popular place, with many people and frequent festivals. Though, that was all about to change. Drawing my rapier from my side, I made my way into the village. Hearing the laughter and music sickened me. There they are enjoying life while I'm here trying to supress the urge to kill myself due to my misery and the feeling of being betrayed by my own father. Using those thoughts as motivation, I appeared in the village with a black smoke entrance. A flashy entrance is always eye catching, well that's what Ganondorf always told me, but then again what other things has he lied about? Everyone didn't notice me at all. They just kept up their happiness. Angered, I called forth a twilight portal, where shadow beasts fell out and landed in front of me.
"Go round them all up and bring them to me." I said coldly at the beasts. The beasts did what I told them and I watched in delight due to my plan coming together so well. Hearinng their screams of terror made my lips curl into a saditic smirk. It was only a matter of time until I could kill Zant and take over where Ganon left off. I stepped into the spring, drenching my shoes completely, and right before my eyes was a large white gold bird with the ball of light in his talons.
"Let this be a warning for all those who dare defy me!" I exclaimed while looking at the frightened crowd of people.
"Leave him alone!" one peasant said. I sent a wave of black transparent energy at the group, signaling them to shut up. The spirit flew above them and squawked loudly.
"Oh, so that's how you want to play, huh? Well-"
Suddenly the light left the province and everyone turned to spirits. I looked around confused because I didn't do that. "You are much to slow, Anastazia." Zant said walking forward. "You can't tease and taunt innocent people before you take something. You just take it."
"That's what I've always done! Ganondorf taught me that! "
"Well, maybe you should forget his ways. You work for me now. Hahaha!" He began walking closer to me while I stepped back. "Where's daddy? He cant save you now can he?"
"He's nothing more to me than a man who raised me. For all I know, his love for me was a lie. A giant lie that I believed."
"Well, I guess that you have no need for anyone in your life to save you then." Zant grabbed my wrist started dragging me somewhere with him. I tried kicking him with my boot, but it was no use. "If you are with me then you can't screw everything up!" I attempted to pry his hand off of my wrist, which I was able to do and started running from him. "Can't hide from me, Ana. "
I ran quickly but ended up running into someone. I looked up at him and saw my father. Stepping back, I bumped into Zant. Looking at each of them, I chose with my gut and stood next to Ganondorf.
"Well, I guess you finally showed up. This little girl took too long to take the light! Teasing and taunting the innocents. And then she said that she learned that tactic from you!"
"Is that true, Ana?"
"Yes, its true. I don't understand the problem you have though, Zant."
"And what problem do you have with MY way of threats?" Ganondorf yelled at Zant, who after retracting his mask, looked frightened.
"I-I don't, s-sire."
"Oh, shut up. I really am tired of your crap, Zant." Frustrated, Ganon trudged over to him and flipped him over onto the ground then kicked his side. He then pulled me out of the villiage and into the field.
"What did Cia mean?" I asked suddenly.
He stared at me wide eyed. "What do you- oh, that"
"Do you or did you love her?"
He chuckled. "Cia?! Gross! She just says that to get what she wants, and in this case. To get rid of you so she can return being my apprentice." I looked at my shoes, which were soaking wet from standing in the spring.
"She was your apprentice? So, is that why she hates me?"
"She hates everyone. "
"Well, that explains why she repeatedly decides to murder my hair,I mean does she not know how long it takes to get it this color?"
He smiled and shook his head. "Still as narcissistic as ever aren't you?"
"I grew up with a narcissist so its not a surprise that I would follow in your footsteps. " I said with a grin. I then saw that blood was dripping down his face from a cut under his left eye. "What happened to you?"
"Huh? oh, I was stabbed by something. And that something was this. The thing that is supposed to be in your hair." He gave me the headpiece that I tore out of my hair, I quickly took notice of the blood stains that were on the metal. I rocked back on my heels and bit my bottom lip.
"Oh, hehe, that."
"Yeah, thanks to you I was Almost impaled." I rolled my eyes and glared at him. Now, being only a foot shorter than him, I was able to look right in his eyes.
"Well, if you told me about Cia's lies and her main lie about you supposedly loving her, then maybe this wouldn't have happened."
"Oh are you talking about Lil' ol' me? How flattering indeed." The haunting voice of Cia said. I quickly saw her vanish and appear behind Ganon, where she made her staff into a blade and held it at Ganondorf's throat.
"Something is wrong with this picture. " I commented.
"Oh and whats wrong, Missy? Me basically holding your father's life and possible death in my hands?"
"Ana, just leave!" He yelled. "I'll deal with this bitch myself!
"But-"
"Do what I say!"
"You may run, Anastazia, but you can't hide!" I heard her say as I ran out of the Twilight submerged province, watching Ganondorf shrink in the distance.
I appeared in the Faron Province and breathed heavily putting, my hand to my side and hunched over trying to catch my breath. "Ganondorf better kill her."
"God damn you! I don't want a lantern, I want the key! I have to babysit some kids and the little shits ran off!" A man's voice exclaimed. I looked over and saw a man about 17 or 18 riding a horse. He had blonde hair, blue eyes, and a chiseled face. If it wasn't for the fact that he was pure Hylian, I would have found him attractive. Though, I had a mission and it was my job to complete it. No time for boys. Anyways, this guy was talking to a relatively short man with one serious afro, and by serious I mean nasty. It was being infested with birds. One word, Gross.
"And by key, do you mean...weed?" He groaned. He looked like he was seriously high, and was destined to be killed in a Riding under the influence, or a R.U.I accident. The blonde haired man got of his horse and punched the man in the face, then promptly took a set of keys from him, grinning slyly.
"As much as I hate those little kids I need money." He said as he got back onto the horse and began to leave. When he was out of my sight I stepped out of the bushes and proceeded to wander around the forest in search of the spring and spirit along with anyone who wanted to get in my way. I noticed the shadows of everything get larger due to the sky becoming darker. Using this as an advantage,I sat against a rock and pulled my knees to my chest, awaiting something to pop out of the woods to entertain me.
"TALO YOU LITTLE SHIT! How dare you harm that monkey?!" the man with the blonde hair yelled at a small child whom he was holding by the scruff of his neck.
"Sorry, Link! You aren't going to tell my dad about this, are you? I'm already a problem child." The man, named Link, shook his head and let the boy go.
"Oh Talo, of course I'm going to tell your father about this, you know why? Because I'm Link and I can do what I want."
The little boy named Talo ran off, crying.
"Ah, Link! So, that weed-a-holic dude told me that you went off into the forest." A British man said coming out of the clearing where that one guy was.
"Yeah, what does it matter to you, Rusl?"
"Well, you should be resting instead of adventuring. Tomorrow is a big day indeed. You leave for Hyrule Castle tomorrow to deliver that sword I have devoted my life to make. I just hope that some human-turned wolf doesn't come steal it later tonight, because that would be the end of the world."
Link brushed a piece of his hair out of his eyes and began walking away from the man. "Yeah, I'm leaving. Come on, Epona." He pulled his horse to follow him out of the woods while Rusl stayed behind them. I came out of the bushes and slowly walked forward, accidentally crunching sticks as my heavy boots stepped on them, causing Rusl to look back, but I quickly hit in the shadows.
"There are strange auras in these woods." He said quietly. "And they get stronger and stronger each day."
"Shit." I breathed in relief. "That was close."
Now, I had to find the spring, which was actually right in front of me. Although, before I could reach the fountain, I fell in the grass and shut my eyes.
I awoke to a bird poking my neck. "OW! You little-" I exclaimed while setting a hand to my now punctured and bleeding neck. Groaning as I got up, I immediately went to the spring and cleaned the blood of of my mark before I took the light. Though, I set the metal headpiece back in my hair which set a bunch of hair back to it's tame position. Taking the gloves off, I saw the old scars that were left by own doing. Frequently slicing myself with knives while attempting to make some type of food. I remember the time when I was about 16, where I was trying to de-bone fish with a large knife and Ganon decided to come up behind me and scare me so much that I sliced my hand and got blood all over the fish. He ended up getting a broken jaw after that. Though, we just look back at that moment and laugh every time. Anyways, I dipped my hand in the water and splashed the water on my face fully waking me up.
"WHO DARES USE THE WATER IN MY SPRING!?" A voice bellowed that was similar to Lanayru's god-like voice. I looked up and saw a monkey spirit with an axe like tail. He held the light ball in his paws closely.
"I do, Mr. Light Spirit. Oh, and can I have your light? You know, to free you of your godly duties?"
"No. This is mine. Wait, I heard about you. You are the woman who is going around stealing my brothers light and submerging their land in a darkness!"
I snickered to myself. "Am I now? So, do you want to give me the light nicely or am I going to have to forcefully take it from you like I did with your brothers?"
"MINE!" He screeched like a child. Rolling my eyes, I sent a darker energy towards him and stole the ball right from his stubby paws while he screamed and disolved into nothing. I once again hid the light in the cursed bugs and watched as the land subcumb to the elegance of Twilight. Knowing that Ganondorf would possibly be arriving soon, I had to find the other spirit before I could speak with him. Quickly exiting the area, I found myself in the Ordona Province. This area had a village that ran a cheese place and it was where most of Hyrule got their pumpkins. The village was filled with people who know little about violence and pain, allowing them being easy targets for ransacking. I knew this due to a test Ganon gave me on Hyrule Geography. I may have gotten an F minus but I got everything about Ordon right. Link, that Rusl guy and the Talo kid must live here.
"Oh Colin, don't you just think Link is amazing?" A girl said in a dreamy way. I followed her love-struck voice and found her in the spirit spring with Link's horse and a boy with a bowl haircut.
"God, kids ruin everything!" I muttered to myself.
"Oh come on, Colin admit it! You think Link and I are perfect together!"
"YOU! GIVE ME MY FUCKING HORSE BACK! YOU DO THIS LIKE EVERY DAMN DAY JUST SO I FOLLOW YOU! I'M TIRED OF THIS SHIT, ILLIA." Link said appearing to the scene.
The girl, Ilia walked up to Link and ran her hands through his hair. "I like your horse...LINK...I only care about your horse...LINK...but that can all change." she said sensually.
I went over to the three and kneed Ilia in the stomach. "I think that you should get your own horse!" I exclaimed. The little boy named Colin tried helping her.
"Well, hello there." Link said, up turning his head quickly. "So, how you doin'?"
I shrugged. "Fine."
He looked wounded. "What? That's not supposed to happen!"
I laughed. "And what IS supposed to happen?"
"You would giggle and play with your hair. Then, I would make some kind of stereotypical joke, which seals the deal."
"What stereotypical joke?"
"Well, for you I would be like, What's the advantage of a blond over a redhead?"
I looked at him oddly.
"You can at least ignore a blond safely." Link began laughing hysterically. My jaw dropped at the joke. Angered, I flipped the boy onto his back and kicked him in the groin. He cried out in pain while a large smirk made it's way on my face. "So? C...call m...me?"
I scoffed and flipped my hair while leaving the pitiful province. I walked back to Faron Woods and began pacing around, biting my nails and waiting for Ganon."Where are you, father?" I asked myself. "Please tell me that Cia didn't kill you."
"She didn't. She got away." I turned around to see him standing there, sword in hand and face dripping blood.
"Ah geez, come on." I said, while I began dragging him away from the clearing and hopefully away from what ever that monster person was. "What happened?"
"Once I told you to leave, she nearly sliced my neck and killed me right there, but I managed to wound her before she could even think of killing me. I knew that she harbored some kind of feelings towards me, which allowed her not to directly murder me. Cia did attack, but all I did was block and punch her. She didn't stand a chance. Though, she was able to hit me in the face with her staff multiple times, which explains the blood."
"Well, at least she didn't kill you."
"She tried, but was unable. Now, Anastazia. I'm guessing that you ran back here due to some kind of unusual circumstance, am I correct?"
"There was some monstrosity heading towards me, so I ran back here." I said while I continued biting my nails.
"Stop biting your nails, Ana. It's bad for you."
"Is it now? And tell me that walking around with open wounds is good for you how?"
"Don't you sass me."
I stepped in front of him and set my hands on my hips. "I can do what I want! You know why? Because you taught me that I could do what ever I wanted and when I wanted. So, if I want to sass people, I can."
Ganon looked down. "Dammit, she's right."
"Yeah, I'm right. Now, where do I go? I mean, I can't go get the Ordon provinces light, there was children playing in the spring. Although, one girl was trying way to hard while talking to some man named Link."
"W-wait, did y-you say L-Link?"
I turned to him. "Yeah. Why?" I noticed that he became frantic and agitated.
"Oh shit. This is bad." He whispered while running a hand through his long hair. "The prophecy is coming true."
"What are you talking about?"
"N-nothing. You don't need to worry about it. Shall we go?" He said, quickly dodging my question and began speed walking in front of me. I stood in one spot, blinking rapidly and sporting an 'Okay what just happened?' face. For all I know, Ganondorf is having a nervous breakdown while I stand here, asking myself stupid questions.
"Well, I'm not following you. Sorry, Ganon, but I'm-" before I could finish my sentence I appeared in a room that was strikingly similar to the throne room in Hyrule Castle, wait this is the same one. Although, instead of a darkly lit room, it was bursting with Twilight. I saw that the throne was being infested with the Usurper King himself. Disgusted, I tried to turn away, but I was only stopped by three massive Shadow Beasts with metal face plates.
"Sit down, Anastazia." Zant instructed. He only had the mouth piece uncovered from his mask. "We need to talk"
