Prologue ( what happened last time).
The witch looked up at them and smiled. " So nice to see you again Ganondorf" she said.
Ganondorf fell to the ground and began to, what she thought was cry. Link and Zelda came outside
when they saw the witch fall to the ground. When they got to the site they were met with a bizarre
scene. Ganondorf was on the ground crying and Impa was consoling him. Link walked over to the
witch and then it hit him, it was one of the witch twins, Kume`. Link then looked at Impa and asked
her " what is the matter with Ganondorf?" Impa shrugged, " He fell to the ground when he saw her
and started to cry." " Why would he do that" Link asked. " Because she is my mother" Ganondorf
said looking up. Everyone was taken aback, " Your who?" Link asked. " My mother."
Chapter 14
Link was stunned. His mother? It never occurred to Link that Ganondorf might have a mother. " I
thought people like you didn't have mothers" Impa said playfully. If Ganondorf heard it he didn't
respond. He sat there crying into his hands. In the fuss over Ganondorf everyone forgot about the
witch who supposedly was Ganondorfs mother, at least Link did until he felt a tug at his tunic. He
turned around and there was the witch. " If you will give me a healing potion, I think I can explain
all of this." He nodded a little confused and gave her the potion which she drank eagerly. " Now
then, why don't we all come into my house and I will explain it all." Everyone got up and helped
carry Ganondorf inside. When they were halfway to the house Kid stopped. " We forgot why we
came here in the first place." Link smacked his head. " Duh, I almost forgot. Kume' we need you to
lift a curse you put on someone." Kume' eyed Link for a moment. Link pointed to the Skulltula
hanging in the trees. Kume' shook her head. " I will reverse the curse, but it was not me, it was my
twin Koume' who did that." Kume' went over to the Skulltula, said some words and blew some dust
on him. The Skulltula writhed for a moment and then in a giant burst of blinding light he was
turned back into a Hyalin man. He was not kidding when he said he was a giant. He must of stood
over eight feet high. " Now if we are all done out here, let's go inside." " Is Ganondorf going to be
all right" Kid asked. " He will be fine" Kume' said, " He is just in shock." " Why was he so
shocked to see you" Zelda inquired. " I don't know. Maybe because he thought I was dead."
Once everyone was inside, Kume' made a nice pot of tea and put Ganondorf by the fire to rest. " He
just needs some rest." She said. " So you are Ganondorfs mother huh?" Link said. " Well not
exactly Link" She said. " How..did you know..." " Your name? Simple, you defeated me and my
twin some 16 or so years ago. I never forget a face. Plus you are the Hero of Time, everyone knows
you." She had a point, he had become famous. Link remembered her and her sister very well. They
were the twin witches that kidnaped and brainwashed the Sage of the Desert temple. " To answer
you question correctly Link, I am not Ganondorfs true mother. Let me give you some insight on
Ganondorfs younger years. Then you will get the questions you seek". Kume' moved to a rocking
chair and wearily say down sighing as she settled in. " There that's better, I am not getting any
younger and my body is starting to protest. Now as for Ganondorfs childhood. Long before most of
you were even born, there was a great war between the land of Hyrule. It lasted for many years.
When it first began there lived a husband and his wife. Both were of the Hyalin race. The man was
one of the Kings top Generals. He was unmatched in prowess and strategy. When the war broke out
he was called upon to lead the Hyalin army. He sent his wife and young boy to live with the
Gerudos. His sister was its head chieftess and he knew she would be safe there. Soon after the war
spread into the area the Gerudos lived. They had to join the war. The young woman fled trying to
get away from the battle. It was her hope that she find her husband. She never made it out of the
valley. A bomb blast hit her and she was mortally wounded. She traveled though the burning desert
sand until she came to the Desert Temple. My sister and I were looking around at the battle that
day. When we returned we found a young woman and her young boy on the steps to the Temple.
The young woman was mortally wounded, so we brought her and her young son inside. She died
shortly thereafter. Before she did, we made a promise to watch out for the boy. We raised him as
our son for many years. We taught him about magic and witchcraft. Later in his years we had him
study with the Gerudos, to learn the martial skills. He learned hunting and archery, combat and the
finer points of military strategy. He excelled in all these areas and had a almost unnatural talent for
combing his magic with his military prowess. The Gerudos had never met someone like him, let
alone a man. They were so impressed by his talents, they made him their leader. Soon after he came
to me and my sister and told us that he was leaving to find his destiny and he would return soon. He
traveled for many years finally gaining a position in the kings court. You are all aware of what
happened after that. After he had thought he got rid of you Link he came to us and said he was
going to become ruler of the entire land. He told us that we were free to do whatever we wanted
from now on. We lived under his protection. Seven years later you returned Link and defeated us.
I can only assume that Ganondorf thought we had died. He always thought of me as his mother and
Koume more as a aunt. IT must have been a great shock to see me again after all these years."
Everyone sat in silence for a long time. No one had ever thought about Ganondorf as a person
before. Link was hit especially hard by his tale. He too had lost his mother in the war. He never
knew who his father was. Link felt pity for Ganondorf at that moment. He could only imagine how
he would had felt to find his mother alive after all these years. It was late and they decided to stay
here the night and then head for Termaina in the morning. Before Link went to bed, he looked in on
Ganondorf, he made everyone promise not to let Ganondorf know that they knew about his
childhood. Everyone agreed. Link now felt a kinship to this man, it was just to bad he could never
tell him.
The following morning Ganondorf woke up with a start. He had been crying and moaning all night
and Link had decided to stay up and keep an eye out for him. When Ganondorf awoke, Link had
fallen asleep in a chair in his room. It took Ganondorf a few minutes to remember what happened
last night. He immediately got up and went into the common room. There he found everyone with
the exception of Zelda sleeping. He peeked into the kitchen and there he found who he was looking
for. " I...Kume'...I... he stammered sobbing in between. Kume said nothing. She just walked over to
Ganondorf and held him in her arms. " I know why you did what you were doing, and I don't blame
you. I have never blamed you. Even when you tricked us into helping you years ago, I never
blamed you. Koume' was a different story. Let's not dwell on the past, ok? I am here and so are
you and that is all that matters." she said. " Where IS Koume'" he asked. Kume' shook her head, " I
don't know. She left some years ago and I have not seen her sense. I know she is still alive, we are
twins and therefore we have a bond. We made it even stronger with our magic. She is still out
there, I just don't know where." Ganondorf nodded his head. They never discussed it anymore after
that. By noon everyone was up and fed and ready to go. The man who used to be a Skulltula said
he would show them that short cut to Termaina now. So with goodbye, and thank yous, they headed
to the land of Termaina.
(Note to readers. Due to time and illness issues, I have not been able to work much on this
story lately. I apologize for this. I will be adding the next three chapters after this one, in no
more then 4 days. I will be downloading them all at once. Again I apologize for the lack of
updates.)
