I got so much motivation to write this cause you guys are just amazing and awesome! I was going back and looking at all the reviews and just though you people deserve more!
And also I'm going away for two weeks;; So I wont be able to even start work on the next chapter until I get back. I'll also apologise for the short chapter, I wanted to get something new out before I left, but I promise a nice long chapter when I get back~
I'm still trying my best to improve on my writing technique since I know it's not the best;; But I hope you'll all enjoy the rest of this Fanfiction none the less~
So there won't be many chapters left after this, I never did intend for this to be very long but 15 chapters is still my goal before I start to finish it. You'll see with the next two stories that they fit together in a certain way so that it's like a beginning middle and end. I'll explain more later.
And before I let you all go on to read, I would like to give an extra special thank you to yyh-ygo-fma for all the lovely reviews :D They really cheered me up!
And that's it~
As soon as I had gotten back I started practicing my magic. I needed time to think, nothing even made sense anymore. I couldn't decide who was lying and who was telling the truth. On one hand we have what Ghirahim has been telling me this whole time, he's one of my own kind, a demon like me why shouldn't I trust him? But now I'm also left with what I've just found out from Link and the old woman. What if that's the truth? How would I know anyway? I'm a threat to them now but I was also Link's best friend at one point. I just didn't know what to do.
For now I decided it was just best to make sure I grew stronger so that in the end I could execute whatever I decided to do.
I was in a large empty room trying out different techniques Ghirahim had showed me for using my magic. Normally I would have fun doing this but I just didn't feel up to it right now I was just relieving stress mostly and the lower class demons I was taking everything out on didn't seem to be having much fun either.
"So are you ever going to tell me what happened at the sealed grounds? I'm dying to hear."
I ignored Ghirahim and continue on with what I was doing, cowardly imps were hiding themselves now.
"Did I do something wrong?"
"Oh will you just shut up!"
He looked taken back and I sighed. I didn't want to talk to him until I had sorted everything out in my head but it seemed that ha would be a lot harder to avoid then I thought.
"I'm just…I don't take defeat well." as much as I hated to admit it, what happened in the sealed grounds was a defeat. I hadn't even had the strength to stand.
Ghirahim crossed his arms looking slightly amused. "I think you were to cocky, thinking you could just take him on like that"
"Don't start with that! Even that master of ours was no more help than a stupid overgrown bird!"
Ghirahim furrowed his brow obviously not liking that I insulted his beloved master.
"What's wrong with you? You've been acting weird since you got back and you're very obviously trying to avoid talking to me."
I held my head in my hands, there was so much I just wanted to clear up but I didn't even know where to start or what I should be asking.
"Just tell me something. Have you been lying to me this whole time?"
Ghirahim kept a straight face when he answered "What did they tell you?"
"I asked you a question first! Have you been lying to me about everything! About my purpose here and the real reason I was sent to Skyloft. Have you just been using me as a puppet?"
Ghirahim smiled and put his arm around my shoulder.
"Why would I lie to you dear? You should just learn to trust your instincts, you're very obviously a demon like myself doesn't that make it obvious that we should work together?"
"Yeah well right now my instincts don't trust anyone."
"I think what's best for you right now is some rest and really give yourself time to think everything through." He patted my shoulder and disappeared. Rest sounded good right now anyway , I was really worn out.
-No POV-
Ghirahim watched Kaydance from a distance as she entered her room, locking the door. Behind him waited some underling demons. He motioned them forwards.
"Watch her and whatever you do don't let her leave that room until I come back."
They obliged immediately and left to do just as he instructed.
-Kaydance's POV-
Sleep was definitely what I needed, I was out like a light. But sleep came with nightmares.
I was back to that memory, or whatever it really was, that I had seen in the sealed grounds. But it continued on after that. I saw my younger self waking up on Skyloft. I remember how I felt back then, I was alone, afraid, confused. The only thing I remembered was my name. Then Zelda found me. She had been picking flowers on the side of the island when she spotted me sitting crying. She came over and tried to cheer me up. She must have been confused too, Skyloft isn't a big place she was probably used to seeing everyone on the island and wondered where I came from. There was just something I remembered back then when Zelda first talked to me, I suddenly felt calm like I was safe and there was nothing to worry about. She had taken me back to the academy and told her father everything. That day I also met Link. He was just as accepting of me as Zelda was and never questioned me on where I came from or anything like that. The three of us became inseparable. I grew up in the academy along with them and I didn't need a family, they were my family. Those happy memories soon turned into something horrible. I was alone on Skyloft but it was in ruins and the sky was no longer a bright blue, it was dark and covered in dull grey clouds. The usual sensation of the warm sun was also missing instead I felt a deathly cold chill blow past me. There was a warm wet feeling on my hand and I'm smart enough to know I didn't want to look and see what it was. But I wasn't in control of this nightmare. My hand slowly rose in front of me and I watched the blood run down my wrist and continue down my arm. I was frightened, I didn't want to know where the blood came from even if it was horribly obvious. 'It's just a dream' I tried to reassure myself 'Just a nightmare'. I took a better look around the place hoping someone would just appear, that someone would just come to help me. When I turned I saw a figure. I didn't think I just ran to them. As I got closer I recognised it was Ghirahim.
"What's going on? Why are you here?"
He didn't answer me.
"Hey I'm talking to you."
"We finally did it, even that Goddesses great 'hero' couldn't stop us."
"What are you-"
He stepped to the side and I felt tears sting at my eyes, Link lay in front of me half beaten to death.
"What did you do to him!"
"What did I do? No dear, you did this."
I held back my tears as best I could but just the sight of Link, Barely breathing in front of me, I couldn't have.
"You're lying!"
Ghirahim laughed.
"Why do you seem so upset? You finally reached your full potential and got what you wanted, you defeated the people who you despised for using you. You're better than them Kaydance."
I woke up abruptly, my breathing was ragged and my cheeks felt wet. I rubbed my face in the blankets and tried to calm my breathing.
'It was just a dream Kay.'
But it had such an effect on me, was that what it was really going to be like when I did finally confront Link. Was I capable of doing that to someone I used to care about so much?
Whatever had happened to me in that temple has started to clear my head of all the delusions Ghirahim forced upon me. But how was I to know it wasn't just that old woman trying to force her own lies into my head? Going back to sleep didn't seem very appealing so I decided to go and blow off more steam. I was up and dressed again very quickly, I reached for the door handle and twisted it, finding it to be locked. I frowned and rattled it a bit, definitely locked. Ghirahim.
Something clicked in my head then. Why would he want to keep my locked up if he had nothing to hide? It took me a minute to notice but I could feel that same barrier that kept me in one place when I first arrived here, I couldn't warp out. I had one last idea though. I concentrated all the energy I could into the palm of my hand before slamming it into the door effectively blowing it off its hinges. I poked my head out and noticed a couple of very startled underlings.
"Where's Ghirahim?" I demanded frowning.
The underlings tentatively looked at one another but stayed silent. My frustration was growing with every second and it seemed these idiots were to shocked or afraid to answer me. I shoved them both aside and made my way down the corridor. I couldn't feel any other presence powerful enough to be Ghirahim so that meant he must have left already. I double checked that there was no barrier outside of my room, of course Ghirahim needed some way back so he kept the restrained trained on where I was supposed to be trapped. How naive of him. I thought about where I wanted to go seeing as how I really wasn't sure who I wanted to find first. Ghirahim or Link. I decided to just go back to where I left off and maybe get some answers.
My teleportation skills were improving, I actually landed on the grassy patch just outside of the old temple rather than in the forest. I turned towards the door but hesitated before pushing it open, I really didn't know if I was still going to be subjected to that immense pain like with my last two visits. I carefully placed one foot in the doorway testing it out. When nothing happened I slowly walked in shutting the door behind me. This was the first time I was actually able to take a proper look at the place, honestly it just looked like what anyone would think and old crumbling temple to look like, broken stone walls, over grown flora and a big impressive looking door toward the back.
"Not the most impressive sight at this point" I mumbled to myself.
"Kaydence?"
I jumped at the voice and quickly whirled around and was shocked at what I saw.
"Groose? What the hell are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same thing." He sounded slightly on the defensive side but also a little scared which was amusing considering he almost killed me a little over two weeks ago.
"That's none of your business." I snapped back defensively trying to scare him further, I was really just wanting to mess with him a bit, payback and all.
"If your boss man or whatever sent you here after old Granny then, uh, well, I suppose I have to stop you!"
I had to restrain myself from banging my head against a wall.
"Calm down alright," I sighed rubbing the bridge of my nose "I just want to talk to the old lady, I don't have any intention of killing anyone, yet." I added in the"yet" just to scare him and it seemed to work as he backed off quickly.
"I had a feeling you'd be coming back."
I looked up to the steps and saw the old lady slowly making her way down and towards me.
"I didn't come to hurt anyone I just…need some answers."
"What about?"
I looked down not really knowing where to start. I was also very aware of the fact that I probably looked beaten and vulnerable but at this point I didn't care I just needed things to be put right again, if that was even possible at this point.
"Everything," I answered quietly "I just need to know why I'm even here."
"Come along then child, we have a lot to discus."
