Shadow could hear voices. His body unwilling to move and his eyes closed shut.
"Link" a voice soft and angelic as sweet as a ripe fruit called out
"Yea?" Link replied. Hopefully it was Link because he did recognize the voice and the clue was too obvious.
"I'm not sure it will work...after all it was made for the children of the light." The voice stated
"I'll tell Him and ask for his opinion after all he is the guardian. A bad one at that" he muttered
'They must be talking about Dark...' Shadow thought to himself. 'I have to wake up. For everyone and for myself. I can't be weak forever.'
Shadow began struggling with his self-conscience and this cause a great load of discomfort causing him to groan and moan.
"He's trying to wake up..."the voice said with confidence "We have to help him out."
"I don't think so." A deep voice said. That's Dark! I know it is!
"How did yo-"the voice was cut off "I have my ways princess~. Now move." Dark commanded
"How dare you."the voice growled
"Princess Zelda I must remind you this is a man from the other side. He has no ties Hyrule or Royal Family." Link said
"Yes, I know that but I'd think any man from any place knows how to respect a lady from a high rank." The princess firmly said.
"Like a animal that was made to reproduce and to keep her mouth shut unless asked for her opinion." Dark replied.
"Dark! For once in your life have respect!" Link hissed "It WAS thanks to her that Shadow is alive."
"So what? A women with power that uses them to heal is no different from any other women." Dark continued "He should of died. But since you did save me the trouble of explaining this to my father you have my thanks."
Shadow stopped struggling 'I should have died? Does Dark find me a nuisance to his life? Is that really all I am to him? He did not notice though that he spoke out loud.
"Yes. Yes you are a nuisance to my life." Dark replied "A big heavy burden that I really wish I didn't have to carry."
In the background he could hear the princess gasp and Link groan in annoyance to Dark's attitude.
This statement itself carried a lot of sourness but the impacted it carried to Shadow's heart was greater. Shadow couldn't stop himself from the water that formed from his eyes nor wipe them away as they rolled down his cheeks.
"Dark if you greatly dislike him why did you go pick him up?" Link's voice sounded pissed off.
"Because like you, I have to obey those who rule over me." Dark spat "If it were for me he would be dead long before you laid your hands on him"
"How could you say that in his presence?" Zelda said in pity.
"To make it clear how utterly pissed I am at him trying to commit suicide." Dark replied harshly "I do not waste my time trying to add more to what I was originally ordered to."
"So you don't mean everything you had just said?" Link's voice hinted in pure confusion
"Yes you ding-dong! Do you really think I would have cared if he died in front of me if I didn't care?" Dark barked "I would have laughed it off as soon as I have followed him."
"Dark you have anger problems..."Link said in disbelief.
"I do not and shut up Link. In that case you have seizures every time you see a re-dead." Dark said dripping with sarcasm.
"I do NOT!" Link angrily replied
"DO TOO!" Dark replied with equal intensity.
The quarrel continued and he could hear the princess trying to calm them both down and fail. Shadow couldn't take it anymore 'If this continues a fight will break out...' he threw a little wave of power that he had just recovered.
The voices hushed down and a growl was heard.
"What in Din's right do you do that for you stupid idiot!?" Dark screamed "I should slap you right now since you can't move! You stupid idiotic moron!"
"Such fowl language,...that black power was it important in his recovery?" Zelda asked "Or should I say for him to wake up?"
"Princess~ do you take me for a moron?" Dark spat
"Should I?" Zelda said with obvious sarcasm
"You have guts." Dark smiled "You have gained my respect although it's just a speck and yes that 'Power' he just threw out was his energy."
"So that was ability to wake up?" Link asked again
"Yes, that was his ability to wake up. Anything else you want to know?" Dark question them like a teacher.
"How can we as a small group help him?" Zelda inquired
"Since when were we considered a group?" Dark smirked "I thought we were enemies. Are you sure~ about this Princess~?"
"It's true you are my enemy but you know that Shadow's life is in danger if you attack us. Especially since what also threats Shadow is the light that entered his wound." Zelda smiled gently "I won't take your rude attitude towards me as offense, but if you dare lay a finger on me something unpleasant might happen."
"Huuu scary." Dark tried not to laugh "Anyways to help Shadow in gaining the power he just threw out, he has to bathe in the moon light in Lake Hylia."
"Why, lake Hylia?" Link questioned "It's not that I don't mind going it's just...Ruto..."
"It's not my fault you're well loved, Hero. A shadows birth place is where the moon's face is reflected on a surface. That being the water. I just need help being protected from that crazy race." Dark muttered the last part.
"Protected why?" Link questioned
"That race knows me a little too well." Dark said with a annoyed voice "They will intervene with my plans in helping Shadow."
"What did you do?" Zelda grinned
"Well you see, I made fun of the princess's feelings and then stuff happened..."Dark looked away from the faces of Light creatures
"You deflowered her?" Link stayed in shock
"WHAT! NEVER! I would never touch a fish! I like soft fragile skin. So I can mark my territory." Dark smirked
Zelda looked away trying not to blush at what he just said, Link on the other-hand laughed.
"Ummm...so when do we go to Lake Hylia?" Zelda questioned trying to get out of that topic.
"Night time seems like a the best shot." Dark shrugged
"Dark it's obvious you don't know how to measure your time." Link shook his head "It's a bad idea to go at night time the sun will rise by the time we get there."
"Then what do you suggest Hero~" Dark cooed
"We will go at noon." Link looked towards the sun "Which is an hour away."
"Well, we have one hour to solve a problem." Zelda sternly said
"Actually two" Dark added
"No three" Link smiled "Okay, Zelda you go first."
"I'm princess of Hyrule and you know...how father is when I want to go out..."
"Wait, Wait, let me guess" Dark cleared his throat and with a fake authoritative voice said "Daughter. Going out to see the town is very dangerous. There are men that would to anything to become your husband even if it means hurting you and forcing you to do thing that shouldn't be. You're a lady and therefore you can not go hanging around with dirt because you'll get dirty. You must remain clean and such."
"Very accurate Dark." Link laughed
"How are we going to do this" Zelda sighed
"Can't you stay behind." Dark eyed her.
"No she can't if she does, we will be to far away for her to keep the light power under control." Link explained
"Talking about light power, how in the din did it enter Shadow? And if it is in Shadow how come he's not screaming in agony and pain?" Dark glared
"The master sword isn't just a sword, Dark. It kills evil because it has light power inside of it. Only a few people can control that power being me, Zelda and some sages. The catch is two people need to be present for them to stop it from activating its purifying properties. Or you can have the princess control it completely without any help needed" Link further explained "In other words if Zelda is away, Shadow will turn into dust."
"...Dark..."Shadow said weakly. He had been fighting all this time and it paid off. He had forced his eyes to open but everything was blurry and flashes of color.
"Shadow don't move, close your eyes and shut up." Dark made his way to Shadow and put his hand on his face. "This will hurt a bit but deal with it. It'll keep you alive for a bit more."
From Dark's hand evil power poured into Shadow. His body tensed and flopped a bit until it stopped.
"What in the sweet Naryu did you do?" Zelda yelped
"I knocked him unconscious that way he won't do anymore damage to himself." Dark smiled "Or did you want to make him walk on his two feet?"
"Nah, in his weak state it's better to have him out." Link answered him "I mean he would cause more trouble."
"Hey, I got an idea!" Dark began to explain his idea "Zelda, you once were Sheik. Use your skills to escape the castle."
"Easier said then done, Dark" Zelda sighed "I don't have any idea where the new guards are located nor how to avoid them."
"That's easy. Leave that up to me, I'll map them out for you." Link smiled "What else do you need to escape the castle."
"A route out of here." Zelda looked away with shame. "I know that I should know my home but my dad...is well-" she was cut off
"Over fucken protective" Dark groaned "I can led you out the way I came in. Happy?" Zelda smiled "Thank you, Dark"
"Now my problem is that I can't step out into the sun." Dark looked away in shame.
"There was a remedy for that in the olden days. I could find it in the book and make the lotion." Zelda replied
"No. It would take to long." Link smirked "But I do have a little potion maker at home with tons of lotion bottles made from skin experiments."
"Great! Hopefully that will help Dark and Shadow." Zelda began to worry "Link, Dark we only have 30 minute think you have time?"
"Dark since you are going to escort Princess Zelda out of here mark out the guards," Link continued "Meanwhile I'll go get the lotion."
"We will meet up in the Temple of time." Zelda said
"Well you'll meet up inside. You'll find me out under a tree or in a shady place." Dark coughed
"Okay then see you guys later." Link turned his heels and made his way out the door.
"Well Princess I'll be right back." Dark made his way to the door.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.6:00 p.m.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Link leaned onto the entrance door "Where in the world are you three?"
Link saw movement from above, Zelda was jumping from roof to roof. Landing next to Link she was out of breath. "Link" she huffed "Dark is...Dark is...stuck."
Link stared at her "Where?"
"Market...in Market" She tried to catch her breath.
"Zelda how-"Link raised a brow when he saw two soldiers.
"Princess! You can not be here!" A soldier cried.
"You halt! Are you helping the princess?!" Another soldier yelled. Link and Zelda in unison looked at each other and began to act.
"Princess if you follow me you will be in great danger. I must do it alone." Link looked away "Please go back home."
"Link I can't. You can't leave me again! I'll lose my head!" Her eyes began to tear up.
"Princess please, go home. If not for you, then for me."His face looked full of guilt "I'll return soon I promise."
"In the market place? Near the Athiga's castle?" Zelda hinted
"Yes. There like always. I'll wait there with them." He hinted back
"Be careful okay you know how rude thieves are." Zelda looked at the guards who were waiting for her "They'll do anything to wound you even if it means hiding a child."
"Very well. I'll be careful. Take your highness." Link made is way out. He heard her say "You as well! Link!"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"Move it!" Dark screamed at the humans in front of him.
"A hero like yourself always carries money with him so just give us the rupees and you can be on your marry way." The thieve smiled "Or do you never want to see the child again?"
"Look man for your information, I am not the hero of time or what his title right is now and that child you hold captive is going to die soon so give him back to me or else you'll meet up with him in heaven."
"Dark! What in the din are you doing!" Link screamed from a far.
"Link! These idiots think I'm you and took Shadow away!" Dark screamed back.
Link ran up next to Dark controlling his breath. "Go find Shadow, and put this on." Link gave Dark a bottle full of a pink liquid.
"What the hell is this?" Dark asked with confusion.
"It's sunscreen. It will reflect the suns rays off your skin. Just apply it and be on your marry way! And hurry up, we can't waste another hour!" Link commanded
"Gee, what a drag." Dark opened up the bottle and put some on as he walked away.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"Princess, you know the dangers of the world and how men are!" The first soldier explained as they arrived at the room chamber.
"You don't know the Hero as well as we do." The second soldier add.
"He as a young boy used to steal and rob from merchants and the rich" The first soldier continued "And said he was doing it for the general poor."
"He was a rodent and yet he still dared cross to the royal garden to supposely become 'friends' with you. You don't know what he plans." The second soldier boomed
Zelda sighed 'Now what I'm I going to do. Link is busy helping Dark and Dark is probably locating Shadow' She looked at the guards that she was now ignoring.
Then an idea stroke 'First off I need to change.' "I understand...I will retire to my room to think about my actions today."
"Yes princess you may. Thank you for realizing what you did wrong. Oh and princess! We promise not to say a word to the captain nor the advisers." The soldiers said simultaneously
"...Thank you." Zelda politely bid them good bye and retreated into her bedroom. "I shouldn't do this to them...but some one's life is in danger...then its okay to lie to them right?" Zelda undressed , under her she revealed her hidden uniform. The Sheikah garments seemed to have been put just now but they had been on for the whole day. Braiding her hair tightly she removed her crown the softest way possible. Next, she began to bandage the places that needed to be like her chest, legs, arms and hair. Using her magic she began to change her voice into a more manly tone although it stung. Making sure to lock and block her bedroom door, she look out the tower in which she was located. The sun's rays heated the back of the room as it left her window cold and blue. She climbed out of the window, camouflaged into her surroundings, and like a spider made her way down.
Half way down the tower she deemed it safe enough to jump. The wind pushed her body as if begging her to stop. She on the other hand tilted her body against the wind and dodged the other part of the castle. Once she was over the Royal garden going to the wall, she twisted her body at high speeds creating a smoke screen, tapping her magic at the right time, a crack was opened. With a crappy landing that obviously needed pratice she turn to see the wall.
"That was bad at all." She grinned. "Now to meet up with Dark and Link."

"WHERE IS HE?" Dark demanded the thief that was badly bruised and had a knife close to his neck.
"HE'S OVER THERE IN THE BOXES! IN THE BOXES!" the thief cried in pain and horror. "Just don't kill me! Please I beg you! Please!"
Dark slapped him in the face, sending him across the street. "Bitches need to be disciplined."
Link who sadly had to be crossing the street, barely had time to dodge the incoming body that had crashed and laid motionless against barrels of fruits and vegetables. Bystanders gasped and commotion arose. Link knew what was coming up next,oh how he knew this scene so well.
"What's going on here!" A soldier cried out as the people made way for the guards.
Link rolled his eyes as he prepared for act 2.
"Well hero! Looks like you have been caught right-handed." The guards made their way towards Link ready to arrest him.
"Not quite." Link put his hands up. "That man was abusing a my brother and my nephew. I cannot stand by and let my family get attacked."
"You should have waited! We are the authority itself." The captain lifted his chin high and proud.
Link smiled shyly "Well I am the Hero and the queen's preferred guard. That itself speaks a lot and there is no need to worry everything here is under control."
Dark came out of the alley with the child in his arms. Ignoring the fact that everyone was staring at him he went up to the hero "Link...Shadow has stop breathing..."
Link's smile was wiped off his face. "Give him to me." Dark gave Shadow to Link knowing he has also lied. Link noticing that it was a lie went with it "No dear brother of mine is breath is just short and slow we must hurry if we want him to survive the attack."
Dark nodded his head in agreement. Link turned to the guards "I'm sorry for any trouble I gave you but I must hurry. H-he's just a child."
The guard's have always had a soft heart which make them weak. They made way for Link and Dark.

"We wasted to much time..." Link sighed
"We should of killed them fuckers." Dark glared at Link
"Then we would have wasted more time and I don't want a bad reputation." Link glared back
"We won't get anywhere arguing." Zelda sighed
"HE STARTED IT!" Both of the pointed at each other at the same time.
"Well I'll END it!" Zelda smacked them both in head.
Dark about to smack her back stopped himself and looked away. "I can get there but a certain load doesn't let me."
"Which load us or Shadow?" Link snapped at him clearly still irritated.
"Both." Dark answered back.
Link looked into his pockets and took out an blue egg-looking object.
"I can't believe you have that..." Zelda shook her head "Isn't that from the Legend of Old?"
"You'd be surprised but it still works" Link smiled "You do know the song right? It should have been taught to you."
"Yes I do but...Shadow remember..."All three of them looked at the darkling.
"If only Midna was here..." Link murmured
"Pffffft. You swear she'd be here. She's having fun in her twilight world..." Dark laughed then realized something." Reaching into his pockets he pulled dark mirror. "Hopefully He didn't lie to me."
"Is that...a black mirror?" Link stared in surprise.
"Yup...Give Shadow to Zelda." Dark commanded. Link obeyed and handed him to Zelda. Dark then placed the mirror on Shadow. Like if it was meant to be the mirror lifted itself up above Shadow and swallowed him up. Zelda and Link stayed flabbergasted. Zelda quickly grabbed the mirror in fear of it cracking into a thousand pieces.
"What did you do!" Zelda looked back at Dark that was no longer there.
"Hahaha! I'll tell you when we are in Lake Hylia!" His voice echoed.
"Well we will all meet up in the Lake Hylia...oh and Zelda hold your breath once you are done playing the song just in case." Link smiled as he dashed south to castle town.
Zelda sighed as she began to play the sweet sour melody come out of the old antique ocarina. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Authors Note:
So I've been wondering were my story takes place and then I came up with a solution...NO WHERE! HAHA! So yes this is random and weird but I think its after twilight princess. And I have a problems so I need help. Should I continue in Shadow's point of view or when the group gets together again?
Ta-da-da-da!
Raven is out.
PS. If I did do any more stupid errors tell me! Please I beg you! And I'M SORRY!
