Chapter 6

Age: 18

I hate everything in the world. I hate the world, I hate mother, I hate Ganondorf and I hate Hyrule. They made me kill Alkai. Three years passed since Alkai's death. After that, I changed. My hate began to grow towards the world and towards Link for some reason. I always blamed him for everything that happened to me. I become the best and fastest swordsmen in Hyrule. Even better than Ganondorf. I knew he wasn't my father. My father got killed, I just don't remember how or by whom. I sat in my room. Thinking and listening to the monsters roaming the town. Hyrule turned to one of the most beautiful land to the most evil and tainted land. I didn't care. Hyrule could go to hell for all I care. I had a carving of Alkai's paw on the back of my shield. It was his first time hunting when I carved the paw in. He was so young….I closed my eyes and tried not to think of him. My hair was down and my shirt was off. It was a cold and bloody skied day. 'Nice weather, just like the last three years.' Mother never talks to me now and Ganondorf refuses to let me out. My mother was pregnant. But because of the evil and riots happening in the town, my mother lost the baby over stress. She was devastated and blamed me for the baby's death. I have become a prisoner and killer in my own home…If this was my home. I was sitting by the only window I had in my room and looked towards Lake Hylia. Something or someone was calling out to me. To go to the Lake.

"Raven…" 'What? Who's Raven?' I put my shield down and walked around my room. I felt air coming out of my closet. I took a deep breath and slammed opened the cloest. 'Shit. Nothing.' I closed the doors and went back to the window. It was my only source of light.

"Raven…Follow Me…" 'There is it again.' I heard footsteps and then the door unlock. I stood in shock and watched the door open. "Let's Go. Hurry." I didn't know who's voice that was but I didn't fucking care, I was getting out. I grabbed my sword and shield, my clothes, food, hat and ran out the door. I ran as fast as I could. I had to be careful though because Ganondorf had his minions guard the castle to make sure nothing or anyone could get in or out of here. "Raven…" Who the fuck is Raven? Why does this voice keep calling me that? My name is Dark. I didn't pay my attention, I used the voice to guide me out of this hell hole. Finally I got to the stables and took Sliverstrom. A horse that was all black. It looked so familiar. I shook my head and pressed on, towards the Lake.

"My Lord, Dark has escaped the castle."

"Yes, I knew that already."

"What should we do My Lord?"

"We? You will do nothing like you always have. As I, I will put him in his place."

Hours passed and finally we made it to the Lake. I fell off Sliverstorm and landed in the water. 'So refreshing.' I drank the water and bathed in the water. I was free. At last I was free. I washed Sliverstorm and let him roam around the lake. It was beautiful. "Raven, Don't Go Inside." I held my hand and shook it off. Again, that voice.

"Who are you? And what do you want with me?" A ray of light shown down on the water and a woman appeared. It was the Outcasted Goddess Ayao. Goddess of Magic. I stayed in the water at watched her walk towards me. In grace and power.

"I am Ayao. Goddess of Magic and Eye of Storms. I'm here to help you, Raven." I looked away and paused. 'Was my real name Raven?'

"Goddess Ayao, what happened to me?" She came closer and placed her lips on mine. She kissed me. Suddenly, flashes of scenes happened through my head. She held me close and continued to kiss me. I was seeing a family, a castle, a young boy who looked like me, a king and queen, a fire, monsters and Ganondorf. I even saw my father's death. She stopped kissing me and I fell on my knees. "What, what did you do to me?"

"I showed you the answer. Of who you are." I got up and laughed.

"Hahaha, what a killer? That's all I was raised to do was KILL!" She back off and froze in fear. "I KILLED MY OWN FAMILY MEMBER, I'VE KILLED MILLIONS OF MONSTERS AND I….I killed my sister before….before she was even born."

"That's not your-"

"YES IT IS. It's always been mu fault…it's…It's his fault. Link's fault. He did this to me. He left me behind to die." I turned around and saw a horse in the distance with a very familiar face. 'That's him. Link.' "I'm no longer Raven. He's dead. I. Am. Dark!" I chanted a fire spell and lunged her out into the island. I was PISSED. I chanted a spell of teleportation and went into the Temple. I was in a room that only had two doors, opposite sides and a tree in the middle of the room. The floor was made of water that I could walk on. 'Where am I?' A black hole appeared and out came Ganondorf. "You."

"Hello Dark. You disobeyed my orders." He crossed his hands behind him and walked towards me. I held out my swords towards him and he stopped. "Oh, you have balls to point that weapon at me."

"Don't test me. I'll kill you." I was serious. If I had to and wanted to, I would kill him. But he wasn't my main objective.

"Is that so." He snapped his fingers and a mirror appeared in the room. I still held my sword towards him. 'Fuck that, I don't trust him.' He signaled to come closer to the mirror. I didn't move. "I won't do anything. i want to show you first how you can get to me first. I'm not gonna let you get to me that easily." I looked at him and slowly put the sword away. I walked towards the mirror and saw Link. I saw him solving the puzzles and defeating the monsters. "To get to me Dark, you must first kill Link." I touched the mirror and chanted the darkness spell making the mirror crack and break into pieces. "Very well, I leave you with this spell." He touch my forehead and chanted the spell. My head started to pound and bang with pain. Finally he let me go and I dropped to the floor. "That'll buy some time." With that, he left the room. Moments after he left, I heard the door open. I looked up and saw a green image with a white dot in the sky. I got up and stood there. He started to run towards the door that was behind but stopped. He saw me.

"Ra-Raven?! You're alive!?" I didn't say a word. I stood still. He came up to me and dropped his sword and shield. "Raven, it's me Link! Come on say something please?" I shoved him off and drew my sword out. "Raven?" I chanted a spell of binding and trapped him in the room. The only way out was to kill me. "Raven stop!"

"I'm not Raven." I drew my sword close to him and held it to his neck. "I am Dark."

The battle began.
