Evil Within Chapter 4
Forgotten Past, Forgotten Tears
A/n: This chapter deals a lot with a rivaling between Humans and Hylians, mostly because of the difference in religion. The Three Goddesses of the Hylians and the One God of the Humans.
"Shit, my head..." Link mumbled as he sat up to look at the white radiating from the walls of the empty room. "Oh grand, now where am I?"
"Where do you want to be?" A flowing voice called out
"Who are you?" Link spun around.
"Some call me the third. The Gerudo worship one of my sisters as their Goddess of the Sand. Some call me courage. Others, Farore."
"Goddess..." Link breathed.
"Yes." The Goddess answered, Link dared to look at Her. She was not as he had expected.
"You look as child. A ten year old."
"I may look as a child, dear Link, but looks are deceiving. I am time itself. Why? For saving you. Link, you are my own. I was the one that took you to the Forest, and died for it. That's how Ganondorf was able to get his piece of the Triforce. I was not there to hold the third barrier on the Door Time. So it weakened."
"But you're immortal. Cannot die."
"Being immortal just means in sprit. Not body. I died and was reborn as you see me now."
"Why? Why did you die? If you had not died, then I wouldn't had had to go through all that pain!"
"Link, you were a God, my son, my love. At least partly. Hyrule needed a hero, a God you made have been, but you felt somehow connected to the mortals. So you went to them. But the Humans ,the worshipers of the One God, didn't accept you as well as the Hylians. Remember me saying immortal in sprit, not body? An assassin was sent as a diplomat and you were maimed in the name of their God. The only way you would have been able to live was to be reborn as mortal. As I was riding to the Forest, that same assassin killed me. And so the story begins as it ends."
"A God...And what of the Oni Mask. The Fierce Deity. And Dark Link?"
"Your immortality. We sealed it in a mask incase you needed it one day. Heh, Dark Link, now that's a tale to tell. Have you ever heard of the Dark Elves in the Dark World? Everyone has counterpart there. He is yours, even though he does have a strange personality.
"I resent that." A voice came out as Dark Link appeared beside The Goddess.
"You.... Demon!" Link shouted as he took his sword up to Dark Link's throat
"Link!" The Goddess bellowed.
"So Link, what are you going to do? You can't kill me, I'm all ready dead, by your hand I may add." Dark Link smiled
"Put your sword away, Link" Link did so as she turned to Dark Link. "So what have you found out?" Dark Link grabs Link's hand and shows her the ring.
"Apparently this ugly thing." Farore takes Link's and looks closely at it.
"This is Din's work. An evil power. I have no idea why she made it so many years ago. How did you come by it? I thought the Ring of Din was lost forever in the War."
"He gave it to me." Link pointed to Dark Link.
"Eh?! I beg your pardon? I haven't even been near you!"
"Dark Link is telling the truth. He has been on errands for me. Namely keeping track of you." Farore mused.
"Then who, pray tell?" Shouted the lighter and the darker side of one.
"Do I really need to tell you?"
"Ganondorf."
"Bingo."
"Then I must hurry back! Send me!" Link's hand crutched his sword, but then he remembered something she had said earlier. "Wait. What of my Father? And you said partly God?"
"Your Father... He was a Hylian, he wandered the land looking for riches and gold. And power. He was a Dangerous man, thats what attracted me to him. The last I heard, he was looking for that same ring you wear now. Link, my son, take care of Ganondorf, and don't forget the ring. It will consume more of your soul the longer you keep it on. It hungers for your immortal side. I will send you now. But before I do, remember this riddle that you made before while watching your blood turn the floor you lay on a sickening crimson by that dagger that killed you. It is 'What can change the nature of a man?' Keep it in mind as you travel, and if you need help just call Dark Link. He will answer. Farewell."
As Link was pulled back into realty, he tried to remember.
"What can change the nature of a man?"
