(Prologue-what happened last time)
As he walked twords the house he noticed something was no quite right. The front door, had
he left the front door open? He could have sworn he had shut it. Link unsheathed his sword and
slowly approached the front door. He tried to calm himself. As he peaked around the door frame
into the house he saw somebody move inside. Link pulled back quickly and tried to control his
breathing. He had not felt this level of anxiety for a long time. He calmed himself down and
prepared to rush into the house. ' Ok, on the count of three' he told himself." "One...two...three.."
Link rushed into the house preparing to do battle with whomever was in there. As he ran in and
caught sight of who it was, he dropped his sword. " It...it..it can't be...you..you..your...but your
dead."
Chapter 2
Link stood in disbelief at the figure sitting in a chair in his living room. The man looked at
him for a long moment and then a thin sadistic smile. " So good to see you again Link" he said
smirking. "Your looking well". "What...how..when.." stammered Link. The man laughed a long
evil laugh. " I guess you want the whole story. Ok here it goes. After our last encounter I was
banished to a realm that has no concept of time. It was a void. A land that was everything and
nothing at the same time. I won't lie to you, I hated you with unparalleled hatred. I was consumed
by it. It permeated my thoughts and consumed my soul. All I could do was think of my revenge. I
was going to decimated you, and lay waste to this land. I was just waiting for the right moment to
escape the void when I sense something. It was something I had never felt before. It was fear. I felt
fear. It was not a emotion I was familiar with. I had never had any reason to fear anyone or
anything. I was supreme in everything I did and was. I was invincible...well almost. So how could
I the great Ganondorf feel fear. Then I sense something else, it was a evil presence that chilled me to
the bone. I had never felt such blackness and evil before. I could never sense it around other people,
because I was always more evil then anyone. This, this however was something that was far more
evil then even I. " How could something be even worse then me" I asked myself. It was then that a
voice called to me. It told me a way to get out and that when I did to seek out the boy who was now
a man, who banished me to my realm and defeated me 15 years ago. I wondered why this thing
would help me, then I realized that as long as this thing lived I would never be able to take control of
the known world. It was in my best interest to stop this thing, and of course the boy who defeated
me would be the one to go on a quest to destroy it. So I escaped that void and sought you out. So
here I am, ready to work with you as a partner for now. I am warning you..as soon as this thing is
destroyed I WILL crush you once and for all."
Link looked at Ganondorf for a long while with a look of distrust. Ganondorf's look never
wavered and he just stared at Link emotionless. " Look" Ganondorf started, " I know you don't
believe me and don't trust me. The truth is you shouldn't, I will destroy you the first chance I get.
The fact of the matter is that you need me to help you. As much as I hate to admit it, you defeated
me and you are a brave and courageous man. However I am a skilled wizard and I can help you. I
will go find this thing wither you want me to or not. Now if we are separate one of may defeat this
thing. If we work togther however, we WILL defeat this thing. So what do you say?" Link didn't
move for minutes. He just looked down at the ground and said nothing. Finally he raised his head
and spoke. " I do not trust you. When I am given the chance I will end your existence. If you
misstep one time I will drop you like a bad habit. Now that I have said my piece I will say this, you
are right; I need you and you need me. I will allow you to come with me on this quest. Just
remember, I will be watching you." Link got up and walked into the kitchen. " We leave in the
morning. Get some rest. If you need shelter, you may stay in the barn. Good Night" Link walked
into his bedroom and climbed into bed. He heard Ganondorf leave the house and he assumed went
to the barn. Link knew that this trip would be even more treacherous with Ganondorf there, but he
had no choice. Ganondorf was after all a great power on his side, at least for now. As he drifted off
to sleep Link wondered what this thing was that made even the great Ganondorf afraid.
Link was already up when the sun rose. He was polishing his sword and checking and
rechecking his bow and quiver of arrows. He had not had a good nights sleep last night. He spent
most of the night going over the spells he had forgotten. The fire, ice and light arrow spells. He
tried to remember most of the Ocarina songs that would help him. He could not remember some of
them and he hoped as he went he would remember most of them. He grabbed some food and milk
and a few bottles of magic potions he had left and headed out to the barn.
He didn't know what to expect of Ganondorf, he might try to attack him right now; or he
might keep his word. When Link got to the barn he yelled for Ganondorf. Here was no answer. He
tired again, still no answer. Link looked high and low for Ganondorf, but he still could not find him.
Just then Link heard a explosion and he groaned. " Oh no" he thought to himself. Just as he was
about to leave the barn he heard a voice say. "I would not do that if I were you." Link stopped for a
moment and he heard another explosion. Just then he heard a voice in his head say, " draw your
sword and stand ready." " Ready for what" Link replied. " You will know". Link didn't know
why but he knew to do what that voice said. He pulled his sword and stood ready. He slowed his
breathing and calmed his mind. He did not know what to expect, but he was going to be ready.
Link stood there as moments past. Link was just begging to wonder if something was going to
happen when it did. There was another large explosion and then a few second later something came
flying into the barn at Link. Link reacted in instinct jumping in the air and slashing at the thing that
was flying at him. When he made contact his sword just fell though it and hit the ground with a
large thump. Link was stunned, by both the force of the impact is sword made on the ground, and
that he had missed. Link had pulled his sword out of the wood in the floor and turned around. He
saw nothing, it had disappeared. Link was looking all around to see where it could have gone when
he noticed the tiny spirit floating near the ground. It was a Poe. Link had not seen one of these
things sense the time of...of Ganondorf. Had his return brought the Poes back as well? Link decided
to put it into a bottle. Who knew when it might come in handy. Link was putting the jar into his
backpack when Ganondorf emerged in the barn door. He looked haggard and angry. " Did you get
it" he demanded. " Yes" Link said. " Good. It was a spy. A convoy from that thing that we are
going to destroy. He has made them stronger too. It took three of my biggest magic blast to weaken
him. This is going to be difficult. I have a feeling that this is the least of the creatures we will
encounter. Link agreed. If this thing had in fact made the Poes stronger, who knew what else it
might have made stronger also. Link didn't even want to think about it's own creations. " Your
welcome by the way" Ganondorf said as he walked out of the barn. Link mumbled a less then half
hearted thank you and got Epona ready for travel. Link wondered if Ganondorf would need a horse
also, but when Link arrived outside, he saw Ganondorf hovering in mid air. " So where are we
going" Ganondorf asked. Link sat upon Epona for a moment and stared into the horizon, he thought
about it for a minute and then rearing Epona twords Death Mountain he said " To Death
Mountain..to visit an old friend."
