The Broken and the Blamed

by Violoafforprez

What started as a regular day transformed into an unexpected, but expected, story about two Links who were overcoming their unbearable pasts, and found a new start with each other. Meanwhile, a turning point in Blue's world is approaching, and it just so happens to be Red. Vio x Shadow, Blue x Red

1. The Beginning

Shadow's P.O.V

I don't remember how we got here. Surrounded by nothing but dirt, blood, and monsters. All 5 of us, beaten, and torn, and hurt. I looked around, where are they? Where am I? What way is up? Which way is north? I don't know, I can't recall. Maybe it's all just a bad dream… I'll close my eyes and I'll be back in the comforts of my normal life.

No. No! Nonononononono!! Why isn't this working?!

I guess I'll have to start at the beginning. All this happened because Vaati and I weren't exactly getting along. He kept wanting to re-recruit Vio. Something about how we were unstoppable when he was on our side. I left the mountain (really, it's a volcano) and went to check up on my favorite Link.

I waited in the shadows until it was dark out, so I could walk around without getting hurt by the dreaded light. I stopped at the library, knowing full well that Vio was in there. When I found him he was surrounded by a mountain of books. While staying in the shadows I leaned over to grab the book that was on the top of his pile, it was a book about a hero and a cursed Princess called; The Curse of the Darkness. I opened the book very curious about it, I think I got that from hanging around Vio to much. I flipped to a random page and started reading, "'Are we there yet? We've been walking for days!'

'It's only been a couple of minutes. Besides you need the exercise, this is what you get for being lazy. Besides you're the one who's cursed not me! You should be thankful that I even considered helping you since I'm still working on my own quest!'

'Hmph,' She turned away from Batal, annoyed at the fact that everything he was saying was true. It wasn't anybody else's fault that she was cursed, it was all her. She was being rude and malicious to her surroundings, and that, unfortunately, included a very judgemental witch….'" I closed the book, making a reminder to ask Vio if I could borrow it, then tried to put it back on the pile. It missed and fell down to the floor, startling Vio out of his book. He looked up, then around the room, but I was already making my escape.
