Chapter Ten

Dark Shadows

Link was galloping away as fast as he possibly could as his trusty stead Epona, mainly because he feared for his life, the other because he wanted to get away from the horrors that occurred in the depths of Death Mountain. Darbus had banned Link from ever returning, it wasn't as if he wanted to anyway. But when he had appeared with the mangled and deceased Elder Goron it had not been a pleasant encounter. Darbus and the surrounding Goron Elders had demanded answers and Link thought it would be best to tell the truth, he told them how Gor Coron had turned into an unspeakable demon and how he had to destroy the poor beast to save his own life. The Gorons didn't care, they would've rather had Gor Coron alive rather then a measly human. Looking back he wish he would've made up a lame excuse, but he was sure Gor Coron would've wanted it this way, no matter what the outcome, his kin deserved to know the truth. The funeral would be in two days, Link could unfortunately not attend.

The wind whistled in Link's ears as dashed through Hyrule Field, he was letting Epona lead him for he knew not where to go. Link had exhausted every muscle in his body, it reminded him of the of the day that he had came back from saving Hyrule from Twilight. He had been slouched on his horse in the exact same position as he had been now, the only difference was that Gor Coron was dead and he had a massive burning blister on his right forearm. It throbbed occasionally but it felt much better now that he wasn't in the burning inferno. Link closed his eyes and let his trusty companion whisk him around every which way. He didn't know how long he had been riding until she finally stopped in front of the Faron Spring.

"Hey!" a familiar man with matching white shorts and tank top came running towards Link and Epona at full speed. He made a noise which sounded like a trumpet and handed the letter to Link. "A letter from Princess Zelda! Well onward to mail!" he tipped his red hat and then jogged off in the opposite direction. Link held the letter lightly in his right hand and then slowly tore the envelope with his left.

Dearest Link,

I send you this letter in great happiness. We have great news to share with you. After you departed from the castle Shad and I did some research. We think we have a few wonderful ideas of what Ganondorf is planning to accomplish and what his motives are. Alas none will be easy but I'm sure you will handle them just fine. The Master Sword only has one true master. That is the hero. Ganondorf's corrupt soul will never be able to wield any power from the weapon, so he broke it into four pieces. We have one.

"Why do I always have to find three of everything? Great more work." Link thought bitterly as he continued to read the letter

Please, stop by the castle as soon as you get this.

Your Truly,

Princess Zelda

Link crumpled up the letter and then tossed it behind his back, he would go to the Princess later, for now all he wanted to do was sleep for eternity.

"You're coming along quite nicely. Refusing to help a damsel in distress. I must say you have surprised me. First you killed Gor Coron now you're standing up the princess! It was so awesome when you shot him in the head, he was at least...what? Twenty feet taller than you, and yet you managed to hit him right in his eye! Did you see the blood and pus ooze out of that thing." Dark Link said, this time he wasn't in Link's head but instead sitting right next to him.

"Shut up." Link growled at him, the last thing he wanted to think about was Gor Coron in his possessed figure. It was a horrible image. A large fiery red and black beast, with foot long fangs protruding from it's crooked mouth opened in shock as it screamed in agony as it's massive paw like hands clutched it's eye, ripping it out of its skull.

"Ganondorf won't be pleased when he hears about this." Dark Link chided as he inched closer to Link, his breath reeked of rotten garbage their faces were mere inches apart.

"Back off!" Link yelled as he pushed the shadowy figure away from him. He stood up and backed up into the Faron Spring, the magical spring water brought life back into his throbbing legs. Epona neighed, she sensed fear in her master's tone. Something about the dark figure bothered her, she gave off a long snort and backed away nervously as she watched the scene.

Dark Link laughed manically as he drew out his sword. Link pulled out the biggorn sword, it was still covered in the demon's blood but Link ignored it, he braced himself as his dark copycat charged after him.

The moment Dark Link had stepped into the spring he began to shriek. Link furrowed his brow, what was this guy playing at? Dark Link scowled at the water, then rushed back in. The same thing happened he jumped back and screamed out in pain.

"Come out here and fight me you coward!" Shadow Link yelled, his crimson eyes glared at Link's sapphire blue.

Link ignored his dark form's wish and instead got a wonderful idea to get rid of the nuisance. Link smiled coyly as the Dark Figure continued to grimace. Link bent down so that he could get closer to the magical spring water.

"Wha...what are you doing?" Dark Link demanded as he looked at the spring, then back at Link. "You wouldn't dare." he said as he backed away slowly, but it was too late. Link had scooped up the water and was now splashing the dark shadow. "Stop!" it demanded in between screams. Where flesh should be, the shadow was burning, steam rose from its dark body as bits of light shone off.

Link didn't understand why the water did this much damage, but he didn't have time to ask questions, it was his one chance to banish the evil that threatened to take over his body. The screams echoed off the forest until they finally ceased, Link peered down at the limp creature, afraid of what it would do. Then in a split second it disappeared.

"Glad to be of service." a loud voice boomed from behind Link.

Link spun around quickly thinking it was one of his enemies but to his great surprise the large squirrel like creature Faron, one of the four protectors of the light loomed behind him. Link shielded his eyes, the light the spirit illuminated was too much.

"Word has been spread of your new journey. Quite a horrible fate has been asked of such a young man." Faron said as he spun around the giant orb of light.

"May I ask? Why is there a shadow being following me? Haven't I blocked out the twilight?" Link asked curiously awaiting the Great Spirit's answer.

Faron sighed as he looked down toward Link. "I'm afraid it's not that simple. What has been following you around is basically your Dark Side. Everyone has one Link, even I. Most people are lucky enough to never have to see their dark side, the people that are misfortunate enough to see the evil that lurks within them have to had truly suffered or have seen great suffering. You can't kill him with any weapon Link. You can only get rid of after you have found true happiness." Faron's answer only drew in more questions Link wanted to ask.

"Was...the thing I saw in the mine Gor Coron's dark shadow?" Link asked almost not wanting to know the answer.

Faron looked down at Link disapprovingly, his golden features were set in a scowl. "Yes, and no. Gor Coron is much older than you, therefore his sufferings are far greater, he was once the patriarch of the Goron Tribe, he had many troubles. He let them get to his head, he aloud his dark figure to get to his head. The thing you saw in the mines was Gor Coron. Do not weep for his loss, he was dangerous to the whole Goron Tribe. If you wouldn't have stopped him sooner, the dark form would begin to take over his body, what you saw in the mine was only a fraction of what the darkness can do to a person."

"You mean to say...that Gor Coron wasn't even in his true dark form?" Link asked he found it hard to believe that such a fragile old man could be so dangerous and vile.

"Only a fraction." The Golden Spirit of the Faron Forest repeated.

"Does Ganon know this?" Link said, he felt a knot start to build in his stomach.

"I'm afraid so." Faron said, his voice filled with sorrow.

"What? How! It will be impossible to destroy him now." Link exclaimed angrily, he stamped his foot into the ground, water splashed around him.

"Find out his past." Faron said calmly. "Link I must leave you, my power is depleting, I cannot speak much longer. I'm sorry." Then Faron began to fade back into the spring.

"Wait, why did Dark Link start to burn when the water hit him?" Link shouted after the sprit but he got no reply. He cursed loudly and gave one last hopeful look back towards to Spring but no light spirit appeared.

"Fine, off to Hyrule I go!" Link thought sarcastically as he jumped back on his horse.
