''The Legend of Zelda: Hail the Demon King"
Part Two
Upon collecting Navi and Tatl from the Kokiri Forest, Link quickly took the bridge across to Hyrule Field. There, he didn't bother with the spinning flowers; he just raced Lon Lon Ranch, into Hyrule Castle Village. There, he would find his destination: The Temple of Time.
The crowd of people in the Village was enormous; people crowded everywhere due to the recent bad news about the Princess. Link quickly went to the small courtyard outside the Temple of Time. There, in front of the door, was a guard.
Link walked to the guard and said, "I have to get through."
The guard chuckled and said, "I'm sorry, child, but no one can get through here but people with the King's permission . . . or, of course, if you're the Hero of Time, neither of which you can be right now.
Link quickly reached into his pack strapped on his side and pulled out a small piece of paper. It was the letter Zelda had given him. "I have permission to do whatever I want from the Princess," said Link. He decided it would be better if he didn't reveal he was the Hero of Time just yet.
The guard read the letter, then looked at Link. He said, "Come with me." Link followed him back into the village and into the Castle. Link had never been here, but it was glorious. It was decorated with Royal Blue banners with pictures of the King of Hyrule on them, with carpets and other things to support that.
After about five minutes of traveling, Link reached a red carpet, leading up to a maple set of double doors. The two guards at the doors passed the guard Link was traveling with right by, and Link entered the Supreme Throne room.
With a marble floor and marble pillars leading up to the throne, the room was magnificent. King Hyroci, the King of Hyrule, sat up on the golden throne, sitting next to the Queen, named Katrine. Beside her, standing, was Impa, the Princess's caretaker. She would awaken as the Sage of Shadow seven years from now.
The King looked at Link and said, "Yes? What do you need, boy?"
The guard said, "This boy has information about our lost Zelda."
The King leaped from his chair and held Link by the shoulders. "My boy, what do you know about my Princess?"
Link gulped and stood back. He was ready to explain all. He didn't want to, but it seemed like he didn't have a choice. As Link looked around the room, he proclaimed in a loud and triumphant voice, "I am Link, the Hero of Time!"
Hyroci gasped, and pointed at Link. "You lie!"
Link continued. "I am Link. I have found the three Spiritual Stones and opened the Door of Time, using Zelda's Ocarina of Time." He pulled out the blue flute. "Upon entering the Door of Time, I traveled seven years into the future. Ganondorf followed me. There, I awakened the Six Sages and destroyed Ganondorf. I saved Zelda. She is currently hiding as one of the Sheikah, under the name 'Sheik.' I have told you all I know, and know, you may do with me as you wish." Link felt very good after saying this, even though he knew he would regret it. But at least he had gotten it out of his system.
Just then, the King stepped backward, and threw up bile. He blinked, and his eyes turned bright white. His pupil and iris were missing. "You know too much, boy. Now, let me say my little secret. I am not King Hyroci. I am Agahnim, loyal servant to Ganondorf. After he followed you into the Door of Time, Ganondorf decided he couldn't have the King here, so he appointed me to possess the King. Now, feel my wrath as I destroy you!" He took off his cape.
