Chapter One
---------------
Ganondorf Dragmire, the Gerudo King of Thieves, was not greeted as he entered Hyrule Castle. The main hall were quiet, and not a soul could be seen except for a lone guard who was patrolling the halls. He had expected the King to greet him.
"Where is the King?" snapped Ganondorf toward the guard.
"The King as visitors in the Royal Chamber. He does not wish to be disturbed."
Ganondorf quickly made his way to the Royal Chamber, and entered it's large doors. He saw the King sitting on his throne on the other side of the long room. Windows on one side of the room looked over the Castle Courtyard, and Princess Zelda, like always, was planting flowers near the center.
Ganondorf approached the King.
"Sir Dragmire. I was not aware you have arrived. I'm afraid you'll have to wait to tell me about your journey, I am in the middle of a meeting."
Ganondorf looked around. He didn't see anybody. He looked to his side, and his heart skipped. Two Gorons stood to the side of the throne. "I....Look forward to it, my King. I shall return this afternoon."
"Excellent."
Ganondorf turned around and began to exit the room. Why were the Gorons here? He quickly, yet casually, jotted to his room. He took out his Dragon Scale.
"Show me the King!"
The Dragon Scale shimmered, and a image of the King with his Goron guests appeared.
"A Dodongo? Impossible." said the King.
"Believe it, Brother." said one of a Gorons. "I was the first to see it, I was."
The other Goron left the Scale's field of vision, and after a moment, returned with a large object in his hands. Ganondorf recognized it. It was the skull and spine of the Dodongo Darunia killed.
"The hooded man brought it back to life, I saw him."
"Big Brother Darunia talked to him." said the other. "In Death Mountain's crater. He demanded the tasty red rock, or else!!"
"Hooded man?"
"With a long cape."
"Inside the volcano?"
The Goron nodded. "That's what he said, he did."
The image got fuzzy, a without any reason, faded. Ganondorf shook the scale. He heard a knock at the door. He quickly hid the scale in his clock.
"Enter!"
Impa, Zelda's Sheikia nanny, entered the room.
"What is it?" he rudely snapped.
"I was just curious on how your fort is holding up."
"Why?"
Impa put her hand to her chin. "Princess Zelda wanted me to ask you."
Ganondorf paused. "Tell her, it went... well."
"Your lying. I can sense it. It's in your eyes."
Yes, the eyes of a powerful and feared man.
Might as well tell her the truth. "There was a rebellion. My second in command broke from the tribe."
"Really?" Her right eyebrow raised slightly. "Did you handle it?"
"Yes. Now, if there is nothing else you wish to discuses about my personal matters, I must ask you to leave."
Impa didn't move. "Why are you here, Ganondorf?" She asked in a stern tone.
"I want peace, like your King."
"That's not how I remember it. As I recall, you will 'stop at nothing to obtain the Golden Power.'"
"I did say that, didn't I." Said Ganondorf. He had almost forgotten about that day, so many years ago. "I was still young and insolent. I am a changed man."
"You tried to crush me with a bolder. Your father raided the village and killed dozens. Your bloodline has no pride."
The Gerudo held back his anger. "My father... was quite a different King than I am."
"I'm sure."
A man appeared behind Impa. "The King will see you now, Lord Dragmire."
"Excuse me, the King needs me."said Ganondorf with boastful pride. The Skeikia gave Ganondorf a cold stare as he stormed past.
***
The Royal Chamber was filled with knights and guards of either side. Ganondorf felt uneasy. He began the long walk to the throne. The Gerudo knelt before the King of Hyrule.
"You summoned me, My King?"
"Yes, Sir Dragmire. I did."
Sir Dragmire? This was the first time he had called him that. He usually called him simply Ganondorf.
"I wish to know of your visit to your fortress." Said the King.
"It went well, My King."
"No problems?"
"Well, yes in fact, but a small one." he said, remembering Nabooru. "My second in command was exiled for treason. It has been taken care of."
"This Nabooru, she lost your trust?" he asked.
"Yes, my King. She...."
Ganondorf stopped suddenly. He saw something move by one of the windows. The sharply turned his head. A small head quickly ducked out of view.
"She what?" said the King.
"She....lost my trust." said Ganondorf, returning his attention to the King.
The King rose from his throne and approached Ganondorf, and motioned him to raise. He did so. "Trust, Sir Dragmire, is very important to me. One can not rule a kingdom if his people do not trust him. If my servants didn't trust me, then this Castle would not function."
"Of course."
"Trust and honesty, that runs a kingdom. Not money or power"
"I agree."
"Very well, Ganondorf. I am glad all is well in your homeland. You may leave."
"Thank you, my King." He turned around.
"Oh wait, one moment..."
"Yes?"
"I am planning to meet with Darunia in Goron City. May I borrow your hear resistant cloak for the trip?"
"Of course...."
Ganondorf froze. His stomach sank for a split second. "Of course." He said, softly. Ganondorf turned around again and slowly left the room.
Chapter Two
---------------
Ganondorf punched his lacy pillow. Cucco feathers spread across his room. He was careless. He dropped his guard, and now the King was suspicious. He had to speed up his plan even more. No more sneaking around. He would simply leave the Castle tonight and get those blasted stones from their owners. But there still Princess Zelda. He couldn't take the Ocarina before he left without the guards waiting for him when he returned, and he could leave and return expecting no one to notice. He decided to call Masher early.
Once again, he took out his Dragon Scale, but this time he placed a some magic power on it.
"This will allow me to speak with that ugly brute." thought Ganondorf.
The Scale showed Masher sleeping by a rock.
"Masher!" said Ganondorf in a loud voice, but not loud enough to be heard outside the walls.
The Moblin suddenly woke up.
"Master?"
"Get up you lazy mutt."
Mash jumped to his feet and looked around. "Master?"
"Shut up. Meet me by the entrance to Dodongo's Cavern tonight at high moon."
"Y-y-yes Master." said Masher, still confused. "Where Master?"
The Scale shimmered off., and he placed it in cloak. He was entering the final stages of his plan...there was no room for foul ups. He took a copy of the Book of Mudora from a near by shelf. He flipped to a page with a marking of the Triforce and ripped the page out.
"Checkmate." he said, grinning.
***
The Gerudo spent the remainder of the day in his room, planning. First he would have to retrieve the three stones. His Moblin Army would assault the Castle as a diversion. All he had to do was sneak into the Temple of Time and place the stones on the holder, play the Song of Time with Zelda's Ocarina, which he was about to steal, and enter the Sacred Realm. At nightfall, he made his way to the chamber where the Ocarina rests.
It started raining as he made his way down the stairs and into the chamber. The halls were quiet, aside from the low thunder outside. The viewing room was empty. Ganandorf walked into the room and to the Ocarina case. He blinked... It was missing, the case was open. The Ocarina was not inside. Lightning flashed as if to mock him.
"The Princess. She must have it." He thought, grinding his teeth.
"You can't win." said a voice behind him. He turned around. The King of Hyrule was standing near the door. "Hyrule will not fall."
"What do you mean, my King?"
"Stop it Ganondorf. I know your intentions. I should have listened to my daughter."
"Yes."
"If you leave the Castle now, then no harm shall come to you, Ganondrof."
"No harm. I see. Well, yes. I suppose that would be the best course of action." Ganondorf laughed. "I guess I lose."
"Leave here Ganondorf."
"I intend to, your Highness."
Ganon quickly drew a sharp dagger form it holder. He charged the King and enbedded the dagger in his torso. Lightning filled the sky.
"Curse...you...Ganondorf..." moaned the King, and he feel where he stood.
Ganondorf smiled, but he noticed a figure at the door. The young Princess Zelda stood, horrified. She stared for a split second, then darted away. The Gerudo gave ran after her. He chased her outside into the pouring rain, into the Castle Courtyard. The Princess frantically tried to open a door that lead to the outside of the Castle. Ganondorf had her cornered.
A battle cry rang though the air, and Ganondorf was knocked back. Impa appeared from behind, sword in hand.
"Run child!" She yelled to Zelda.
Impa lunged at Ganondorf, who dodged the attack. The Skeikah managed to create a gash in his right arm. He was momentarily detracted as her used some black magic to quickly heal the wound. By the time he came to, Impa and Zelda were gone. Ganondorf ran after them.
When on the outskirts of the Castle, Ganondorf gave a sharp whistle for his steed, Agahnim. The black horse arrived in a few seconds time. He saw a white horse galloping away in the distance.
"Heya!" cried Ganondorf, and gave Agahnim a sharp kick in the side. The steed sprang forth. Agahnim ran faster and faster to the entrance of Hyrue Caltle Town, but Impa was still getting away. When he arrived at the town, he saw the white horse slipped on the wet gravel, and Impa and Zelda fell off. He dismounted Agahnim and ran toward the pair.
A moment before he reached them, a lone guard appeared to aid the two.
"Are you Okay?" He asked them. "Oh my! Princess Zelda!!"
"Behind you!" screamed Zelda.
"Huh?"
Ganondorf picked up the guard by his neck and yelled.
"Noooooo!"
He slammed the guard into a nearby wall; hard. The guard stopped moving. Ganondorf looked around him. They vanished again. He saw the gates to the town open. He called to Agahnim once more.
The mare galloped to his side, and Ganondorf mounted. Lightning clashed and a startled Agahnim threw him off.
"Stupid horse." he muddered, and mounted again.
"Heya!"
Outside the Castles walls, the white horse could not be seen. Which way did the go? He had no idea of knowing for sure. Perhaps they sought refuged in the nearby ranch? He was about to continued, but a flash of lighting reviled a figure a few meters away. He squinted in the pouring rain to make it out... Was it another guard?
A child? It was only a child! A child with a fairy... It was a blasted Kokiri!
"Out of the way child."
The boy drew a small sword and shield. "I can't let you." His voice was young and innocent, but full of seriousness.
What loyalty! He wants to protect the Princess!
"Bold child. I like your spirit! Overpowered, yet you still stand tall!"
The boy in green was silent.
"Heh. Such foolish loyalty will provide you with a spectacular death."
"I'm not afraid to die."
The Gerudo grew tired. He proceeded to move Agahnim around the forest child. But he paused... he remembered the aura of kindness that he felt last time he was at the entrance of the forest. Was it, this boy? He felt uneasy...
The boy had to be taken care of.
"Do you have any idea who I am boy?"
He nodded
The Gerudo quickly raised his and, and fasted than the boy could react, flug a ball of dark energy to his person. The Kokiri fell backwards, twitching with pain.
"I am Ganondorf Dragmire, King of Thieves! And soon, I shall rule the world! Onward!"
The ordered his steed forward to continue his search. The pointless chat with the boy wasted valuable time.
Chapter Two
----------------
Hyrule Field was huge, he could never catch up with Impa and the Princess. Perhaps they traveled to Kakariko? The Zora cave? He could travel up Death Mountain and order Masher and his Moblins to search the surrounding area, but he needed them to assault the Castle. But without the Ocarina, it would be pointless. Then he suddenly remembered: he had forgotten about the spiritual stones! He hadn't expected Zelda to get away, now he had a couple hours to collect the stones, find the Ocarina and still catch the people off guard.
Ganondorf stopped Agahnim in his tracks. Failure? It seemed hopeless. Yes, he could find Zelda with meditation. Yes, he could steal the stones. Yes, he could assault the Caste and succeed.
But that would take time. Time he did not have. Was it failure?
"No!" He boomed out loud. "It's merely a delay!"
The local ranch was very close by, perhaps Zelda was there. H had met the owner while he was at the castle... a very stupid man named Talon. Stupid, but kind. If the Princess was there, the oaf would surely allow them to stay. But has he got closer and closer, he didn't feel the presence of Impa or Zelda...
His Dragon Scale! Of course! He pulled it out.
"Show me the Princess!"
Nothing. Static.
"That Sheikah must be blocking it." he thought. "I need to find the stones."
"Scale! Show me the Stone of the Forest!"
The Scale shimmered, and an image appeared. Rain drops blurred the picture. IT was a Kokiri, he could tell. So was still in the forest. He cleared the image with his hand.
No.. It wasn't Kokiri forest. It was a large stone room with a checker board floor. The Temple of Time! It was the boy from just a moments ago! So he was working with Zelda!
"Show me the Fire Stone!"
The image faded, but the same boy appeared.
"The Water Stone!"
The boy was seen by a large mantel, placing the stones on a mantel.
The rain began to slowly fade away. Ganondorf lowered his voice. "Show me the Ocarina of Time."
The boy.
Other men would have felt a sense of failure, but not Ganondorf. The boy did all the hard work for him! But it was just a matter of moments before the lifted the Master Sword from it's pedestal. Perhaps he could sneak in after him. Would the portal stay open? He didn't know, but he had to hurry.
He and Agahnim raced full speed back to Hyrule Castle.
***
Several guards were patrolling the gate to Hyrule Castle Town, and Ganondorf wasn't stupid. He would sneak in though a nearby forest at led to the rear of the Temple of Time.
The Temple of Time it self was a church, with a single large room with the Door of Time at it's back. The area beyond the door held the Master Sword, the lock to the gate to the Golden Land. One would presume you could simple brake down the back wall and head right to the chamber, but it was indestructible.
Heh. Hylian logic. Make the back of the temple built from magic stones, but to have some one waltz right in...
"Just like I'm doing now." he said with a smile.
The Temple was unguarded. No doubt every Knight was at the Castle, crying over the death of their King. The grand structure welcomed Ganondrof with open arms. Inside was silent, except for a low hum... What was it?
As he walked toward the now open Door of Time, be cautious no one was watching he, he noticed the source. The three Spiritual Stones were settled on the mantel in front of him. The glowing symbol of Hyrule, the Triforce, shone bright above the door. What was he waiting for? Ganondorf sprinted into the home of the Master Sword.
...Only to find it empty. The legendary blade was not on the pedestal, and the gate to the Sacred Realm that his father said he saw with his own eyes was not to be seen.
Then it was failure after all.
Years of planning. Just to have it ruined by two little brats. What would that boy do with the Triforce? No doubt wish for chocolate and cookies. Ganondorf feel to his knees... The Gerudo dream of having true power will never be realized.
"Who's in there!" A voice boomed.
Ganondorf Dragmire heard the clang of armor. Hyalin Knights! He could easily plow past them. He made out at least a dozen men... he was weaponless. His magic was strong... but he felt weak for some odd reason. It was this room, filled with the essence of the Sacred Realm... somewhere normal magic would be null.
"There he is! It's Sir Ganondrof!" shouted a guard, inside the room.
"The good King of Hyrule's death will be avenged!"
The small army had swords in hand, and pressed forward.
Ganondrof could have fought right there and now, but he opted to wait. It was over. He backed away.... Past the pedestal.
"Explain yourself." said a Knight, who wore golden armor. The captain, he presumed.
He shrugged. He might has well have a difficult last battle. "A Hylain is nothing more than a insect, something simple that must be disposed of."
"Strong words."
"You want be to repeat it, perhaps slower so you Deku sized brains and process it?"
Ganondorf continued his slow retreat, and soon he was at the back wall of the temple.
"For great justice!" cried the Knight, and he raised his sword.
Ganondorf leapt backward, planning to jump off the wall over their heads to have a better advantage. But to his surprise, he hit the ground. How foolish, he was to far away!
He quickly returned to his feet, only to see the Knights staring at him.
"Where'd he go!" said one.
"He was right here?" said another, touching the air like he was a mime in a imaginary box.
The Gerudo looked around. Except for the temple in front of him, there was blackness all around him. He was in the wall? He turned around... a blue portal lied before him! This was the entrance! But the Master Sword was gone, and he thought that was the only door way?
There wasn't time to think about that now! The entrance was mere meters away! He darted fother, running full speed toward the shimmering hole. Although the distorted temple grew smaller behind him, the gate did not get closer.
"Calm you mind, Ganondorf!" he thought. "Focus."
He closed his eyes, but continued running. Concentrate on one thing: Obtaining the Triforce. What seemed like an eternity passed. When he opened his eyes, the blackness was gone. He was in a wide open space, a green pasture. The sky shined a brilliant gold with dark clouds. He should se no sun.
The Sacred Realm! Just like the Book of Mudora foretold! At last! His moment of glory! He took a moment to explore his surroundings. He was on a tall hill looking down, a mountain range loomed in the distance from all directions. At the center of the valley stood enormous tower. No doubt the Temple of Light.
The Triforce was practically his.

He hadn't expected Zelda to get away, now he had a couple hours to collect the stones, find the Ocarina and still catch the people off guard.
Ganondorf stopped Agahnim in his tracks. Failure? It seemed hopeless. Yes, he could find Zelda with meditation. Yes, he could steal the stones. Yes, he could assault the Caste and succeed.
But that would take time. Time he did not have. Was it failure?
"No!" He boomed out loud. "It's merely a delay!"
The local ranch was very close by, perhaps Zelda was there. H had met the owner while he was at the castle... a very stupid man named Talon. Stupid, but kind. If the Princess was there, the oaf would surely allow them to stay. But has he got closer and closer, he didn't feel the presence of Impa or Zelda...
His Dragon Scale! Of course! He pulled it out.
"Show me the Princess!"
Nothing. Static.
"That Sheikah must be blocking it." he thought. "I need to find the stones."
"Scale! Show me the Stone of the Forest!"
The Scale shimmered, and an image appeared. Rain drops blurred the picture. IT was a Kokiri, he could tell. So was still in the forest. He cleared the image with his hand.
No.. It wasn't Kokiri forest. It was a large stone room with a checker board floor. The Temple of Time! It was the boy from just a moments ago! So he was working with Zelda!
"Show me the Fire Stone!"
The image faded, but the same boy appeared.
"The Water Stone!"
The boy was seen by a large mantel, placing the stones on a mantel.
The rain began to slowly fade away. Ganondorf lowered his voice. "Show me the Ocarina of Time."
The boy.
Other men would have felt a sense of failure, but not Ganondorf. The boy did all the hard work for him! But it was just a matter of moments before the lifted the Master Sword from it's pedestal. Perhaps he could sneak in after him. Would the portal stay open? He didn't know, but he had to hurry.
He and Agahnim raced full speed back to Hyrule Castle.
***
Several guards were patrolling the gate to Hyrule Castle Town, and Ganondorf wasn't stupid. He would sneak in though a nearby forest at led to the rear of the Temple of Time.
The Temple of Time it self was a church, with a single large room with the Door of Time at it's back. The area beyond the door held the Master Sword, the lock to the gate to the Golden Land. One would presume you could simple brake down the back wall and head right to the chamber, but it was indestructible.
Heh. Hylian logic. Make the back of the temple built from magic stones, but to have some one waltz right in...
"Just like I'm doing now." he said with a smile.
The Temple was unguarded. No doubt every Knight was at the Castle, crying over the death of their King. The grand structure welcomed Ganondrof with open arms. Inside was silent, except for a low hum... What was it?
As he walked toward the now open Door of Time, be cautious no one was watching he, he noticed the source. The three Spiritual Stones were settled on the mantel in front of him. The glowing symbol of Hyrule, the Triforce, shone bright above the door. What was he waiting for? Ganondorf sprinted into the home of the Master Sword.
...Only to find it empty. The legendary blade was not on the pedestal, and the gate to the Sacred Realm that his father said he saw with his own eyes was not to be seen.
Then it was failure after all.
Years of planning. Just to have it ruined by two little brats. What would that boy do with the Triforce? No doubt wish for chocolate and cookies. Ganondorf feel to his knees... The Gerudo dream of having true power will never be realized.
"Who's in there!" A voice boomed.
Ganondorf Dragmire heard the clang of armor. Hyalin Knights! He could easily plow past them. He made out at least a dozen men... he was weaponless. His magic was strong... but he felt weak for some odd reason. It was this room, filled with the essence of the Sacred Realm... somewhere normal magic would be null.
"There he is! It's Sir Ganondrof!" shouted a guard, inside the room.
"The good King of Hyrule's death will be avenged!"
The small army had swords in hand, and pressed forward.
Ganondrof could have fought right there and now, but he opted to wait. It was over. He backed away.... Past the pedestal.
"Explain yourself." said a Knight, who wore golden armor. The captain, he presumed.
He shrugged. He might has well have a difficult last battle. "A Hylain is nothing more than a insect, something simple that must be disposed of."
"Strong words."
"You want be to repeat it, perhaps slower so you Deku sized brains and process it?"
Ganondorf continued his slow retreat, and soon he was at the back wall of the temple.
"For great justice!" cried the Knight, and he raised his sword.
Ganondorf leapt backward, planning to jump off the wall over their heads to have a better advantage. But to his surprise, he hit the ground. How foolish, he was to far away!
He quickly returned to his feet, only to see the Knights staring at him.
"Where'd he go!" said one.
"He was right here?" said another, touching the air like he was a mime in a imaginary box.
The Gerudo looked around. Except for the temple in front of him, there was blackness all around him. He was in the wall? He turned around... a blue portal lied before him! This was the entrance! But the Master Sword was gone, and he thought that was the only door way?
There wasn't time to think about that now! The entrance was mere meters away! He darted fother, running full speed toward the shimmering hole. Although the distorted temple grew smaller behind him, the gate did not get closer.
"Calm you mind, Ganondorf!" he thought. "Focus."
He closed his eyes, but continued running. Concentrate on one thing: Obtaining the Triforce. What seemed like an eternity passed. When he opened his eyes, the blackness was gone. He was in a wide open space, a green pasture. The sky shined a brilliant gold with dark clouds. He should se no sun.
The Sacred Realm! Just like the Book of Mudora foretold! At last! His moment of glory! He took a moment to explore his surroundings. He was on a tall hill looking down, a mountain range loomed in the distance from all directions. At the center of the valley stood enormous tower. No doubt the Temple of Light.
The Triforce was practically his.
