sorry for the wait everyone ive been working on my newest story Volf king of the gerudo thieves but here is the new chapter hopefully ill have another one up soon.
-I nodded as he helped me sit up.
"Here this should take all the pain away." I smiled as he handed me a familiar red potion. I gulped it down and thought curiously to his relationship with Dark. "
Was Dark ever your enemy?" The hero turned to me before looking out the window.
"Yeah, we met in the water temple. For me he defied his master. He was supposed to kill me, but he let me live, I couldn't just let him stay in that room to rot. He was the first human I had come across that I was supposed to kill, I couldn't do it. I knocked him unconscious and took him out of there, at first he was weary of me. but after long he started seeing me in a different way, I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought about it before. Plain and simply we fell in love, nothing could have held us back when we saw each other. Although Zelda wasn't too happy she had expected me to marry her." He laughed scratching his head nervously.
We both turned hearing yelling from the court yard, with a sigh the blonde stood up walking out of the room. I followed after him unsure of what else to do.
"Back off you know nothing brat!"
"What I do know is your weak feeble getting and mad over him missing his best friend! You were planning to kill her! Your such a pathetic creature, you will never be able to truly gain his love if you remain a monster."
We ran outside and I saw Ghirahim slap the shadow hard. He glared up at the demon lord and unsheathed his sword.
"you wanna play this game? Fine I won't be like that child I'll put you in your place you ignorant bastard!" He growled lunging at The Lord and bringing his sword down hard on the spot where Ghirahim had just been.
"Stop it you two! Don't make me go over there!" The hero of time yelled but he only received sneers from both boys before they went at each other again.
"Stupid…. Childish…..bastards….are going to pay." He muttered walking over to a close proximity of them. I watched in surprise as the boy knelt down with a red gem in his gloved palm. Suddenly he raised it to the sky with a cry, the boys were Engulfed in a flame that circled the hero of time and thrown roughly apart. The hero stood there a smirk on his face hands on his hips. I couldn't help but laugh despite the circumstances the hero was a poster child for smugness.
I heard another laugh alongside my own Dark was laughing a huge grin directed towards his lover. The hero of Time stuck out his tongue like a child at Dark before helping the boy stand. I looked over at Ghirahim walking towards him slowly, approaching him as you would a wounded feral animal.
I knelt down next to him, rubbing his back trying to comfort him. I pulled him into an embrace, he didn't push me away he just let me hold him like that running my fingers through his hair. "I'm sorry" I murmured in his ear before kissing his cheek and making him look at me. Even though his eyes were on me his gaze was very distant giving him a look that made him look almost anciently wise.
"Sky child I think we should return." He didn't look at me as he stood up he only moved to put some distance between us.
"What? No you just got here!" My blonde twin whined. Ghirahim sighed.
"then he can stay, I'll be back in a week Link." I just looked up at him hurt, he was going to leave me here and go off to do god knows what for a week? His eyes met mine and I know he saw the sadness, I pulled away from him and started walking back towards the room I had been in. I laid on the bed and covered myself trying so hard to keep my traitorous tears in check.
"Skychild" I didn't answer I only turned away from him more.
"Don't act like a child." I felt the tears finally roll down my cheeks and I snapped at Ghirahim like never before.
"A child! You're the one who is acting like a child! How was I to react Zelda had been my best friend since we were kids. I fell in love with you I realized I had to sacrifice my friendship with her for you! What have you had to sacrifice!?" He stared into my eyes his filled with pain, with that look I regretted every word that came out of my mouth. Then that look was gone and one of hostility replaced it.
"I have sacrificed nothing? Is that what you believe skychild. Do you know how much ive gone through just because you are still a child. You think because I am a demon I feel nothing? Your words wound me, your actions push me to the edge of insanity yet here I am. With you! Loving you! You act as though you're the only one to have feelings or a heart, your wrong!" He screamed finally losing his composure, with a snap of his fingers he disappeared in a flurry of diamonds.
I felt cold empty I hadnt even thought of how he had been feeling. I pulled my knees to my chest and cried into my hands.
I felt like my heart was going to erupt, the pain was becoming too much. I couldn't hold back the sobs anymore, I felt like a piece of my heart and soul were being torn from me when he left. I didn't stop crying when I felt two pairs of arms hug me tightly, I knew Dark and the hero of time were trying to comfort me.
I awoke several hours later to see both boys clutching me tightly their cheeks dry with trails of tears, they had cried with me. I sat up gently pushing the boys arms from around my waist. I walked out of the room shutting it quietly behind me, I followed the path from yesterday leaving the castle. I found my way to a fountain and sat down slowly letting my fingers splay in the cool water.
"Are you feeling better hero?" I looked up to see the princess standing before me with a sad smile. I simply nodded looking back to the water. "Did he leave? I can barely sense his presence here." She said walking to sit next to me at the fountain. I shrugged knowing full well he had probably left.
"Listen hero, I can see by your expression your in pain, I know you are in love with that man from before. Hes hurting I can see a great many things he has suffered through, you shouldn't judge him for his ways without first understanding how he was brought up. I am the holder of the triforce of wisdom, in your time I am unsure if you've heard the legends. But what I saw from Ghirahim, it was pain, loneliness, hatred. All the demon lord wanted was to resurrect his master to make up for his past failures. He was tortured, abused, raped and all he wanted was someone to see him for who he is. Hes broken Link and in his heart he truly believes you can fix him. You are after all bound by a thread of fate." I looked at Zelda with wide eyes.
"Thank you princess." I smiled giving her a chaste hug before running back to my room. I smiled seeing the boys cuddled up to each other asleep so soundly. It would be bad for me to wake them I know how much I hate waking up and they are essentially me. I grabbed my gear and snuck out of the castle leaving out into the town and walking until I reached a field. I walked and walked until I was in a lone patch of grass before dropping down to sit.
"Master?" I almost jumped when Fi appeared from the sword in my back.
"Oh Fi its only you." I said clutching my heart willing it to slow back down.
"Master why have you halted your quest?" I felt my eyes slide down to stare at the ground.
"The door of time was destroyed I cant get to Zelda anymore." I felt guilty Fi still had a mission and here I was spending the day with myself.
"Did you not hear her graces words before their departure. They told you to look to the woman in the sacred grounds." I froze hope seeping into my heart.
"Y-you mean there may be a way for me to save her?" Fi nodded.
"but you will have to betray the demon lord." I felt my heart crack, Ghirahim would understand wouldn't he? Probably not but I have my mission the less he knows about this the better.
"Master I sense that the portal to return is in a place called Lake Hylia in this realm. There is a 100% chance that the other Links know its location. I suggest you start there." I stood up nodding to Fi before she returned to my sword when I saw the boys already approaching. The blond was completely worried while Dark looked away indifferently. I smiled as they ran up to me, the hero of time instantly wrapping his arms around me. I hugged him tightly before pulling away.
" how are you feeling? Zelda said you took a walk to hyrule field." I thanked the goddesses for sending the, to me so quickly.
"Yeah im okay, is there any way you guys could take me to the Lake Hylia?" The both gave me a strange look. "Ghirahim is waiting for you at the castle, why don't we head there first?" I sighed softly.
"can we head to the lake first please? Ill talk to Ghirahim after?" Link shrugged and pulled out a strange blue instrument and began playing a beautiful melody. Then a strange blue light surrounded us and in a flash we were at a large lake standing on a platform with a symbol I had never seen before.
I looked around knowing that the hero and Dark were staring at me like I was crazy. That's when I found it a small hole that showed my world on the other side. I turned away from it quickly making sure The hero of time and Dark hadnt seen it.
"Guys? Can I have a hug." The blond smiled running over to wrap his arms around me and nuzzle my neck. "Dark come here and hug us" his lover whined. I could tell by the look Dark was giving me that he knew something was up. But he didn't say a thing he wrapped his arms around us holding me tightly.
"Your so warm." The blond said before pulling away from me.
"This is where I say goodbye." I said smiling at the two, before they could react I fell into the hole leading to my realm. I managed to fall into Lanayru province thankfully right next to a bird statue. I touched the strange surface feeling a gust of wind that shot me into the sky. With a whistle I called my loft wing to me and raced towards skyloft to get resupplied.
