thinks of my story.
Ganondorf's Childhood Years
Part 4-Another Day, Another Adventure
Ganondorf could feel the sun from the windows on his eyes. His head felt like it was spinning around. His body felt almost numb. He forced himself to stay awake. Trying to listen to the voices in the room. His eyes refused to open.
"He can lead us to our glory days!" Said someone, who Ganondorf recognized as Seri. A Gerudo woman.
"Yes, you are right, but he is just a child. You need to give him some time. He can't just wake up one day and be our King." Hissed Nabooru.
"But, he is so strong. He took out a Sheikain and he saved all of us. He has proven himself beyond all reason. He is the one that will lead us. He has to lead us to war against the Hyrulans. He has the power and the knowledge to win us the war." Seri said.
"Yes, but let us let him decide what is best for his future. Only he can make that decision. No one else can. Wait, until he is awake and healed. I don't want any presser on him. He's been through enough to last a life time." Said Nabooru.
"Yes. I will wait till he has awakened." Said Seri, as Ganondorf felt her hand brush off the hairs from his face.
"He has such sharp figures for one so young in years. I pray to the goddesses that makes him ready for what lies ahead in his life." Said Nabooru.
Ganondorf couldn't refuse sleep anymore, as he fell back to slumber.
Ganondorf woke some time later. He slowly opened his eyes. Seri and Nabooru were already long gone from the room. He sat up slowly, trying to avoid the pounding in his head from getting any worse.
He looked down and saw all he had on was his pants. His boots were beside the bed and his shirt was drying on a line. His weapons were sitting on top of an old looking chest in the room. His gloves, left on the table near the middle of the room.
Ganondorf had only one sheet that still lay in his lap as he sat up. Looking around, trying to remember where he was.
'The last thing I remember is Malon yelling at me for some reason, waking up and hearing people talk. The rest is blank. I can't even remember what those people said!' thought Ganondorf. Slightly angry at himself for not paying enough attention.
What he did remember was someone saying something about a war that was going to happen. And how he had to lead them in it.
'Well, if they want to go to war, they can just leave me behind. I don't want to see blood for as long as I live!' He thought stubbornly.
Then, the door opened. It was Malon who was carrying a bowl of soup to him. She set the soup down on the table and rushed to his side.
"Oh Ganon! I was so worried about you! How could you faint right on me like that?" She asked, worried and angry at the same time.
"Hold it. I fainted?" Asked Ganondorf.
"Yes, right after I asked you were you got that cut on your wrist." She said.
Ganondorf looked down and saw bandages around his wrist. A small blood stain was apparent on it.
"This is where that big guy cut me with his sword, and I dropped mine." Ganondorf said, trying to remember everything that happened yesterday.
"You dropped your sword? Then how did you beat him? You can't beat someone at sword fighting without a sword." Said Malon.
"Well, I blocked his sword with my shield. He was too strong and it flung me into the wall from the impacted. Then, while I was on the floor, he came over to me and lifted his sword. I closed my eyes and……" Ganondorf trailed off.
Malon was about to explode.
"Then what happened? Tell me please!" Malon begged.
"Well, the sword hit something else. I opened my eyes and there was a magic shield around my body. Protecting me. He swung his sword alot of times and them it broke in half on the shield. He got someone else's sword and started to hit the shield again. I stood up and walked toward him. He backed away. I could feel something. Some magic inside my own blood. I ordered it to lift him above the ground. He slammed into the ceiling, and was knocked out cold." Said Ganondorf. Retracing what happened to him.
"You have magic powers? Wow! And you can lift people? Can you lift me with your magic? Please." Malon asked.
Ganondorf shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, I can try. I have to practice this though."
Ganondorf did the same thing he did before. He concentrated on her only. Then, ordered his mind to lift her above the ground.
Nothing happened.
"Well? What are you waiting for Ganon?" Asked Malon.
"Nothing. I tried, but I couldn't do it. Maybe I used up my magic yesterday." Said Ganondorf.
"Maybe. Hey, lets go horse back riding!" Said Malon cheerfully.
"Yeah." Answered Ganondorf.
Malon waited outside for Ganondorf to dress. Once he put everything on but the weapons he went outside. The Gerudo were either in the barn, petting the horses or walking around the grazing field.
Ganondorf got Sapono out, and saddled. Malon got a horse with almost red looking fur and a white mane. It was a wonderful looking horse with strong legs.
"What's her name?" Asked Ganondorf.
"Her name is Epona. Every horse that is this color gets the name Epona. But, only one is born every fifteen years or so." Said Malon.
"Oh. Well, Sapono and I are going riding in Hyrule field." Said Ganondorf, petting Sapono's neck.
"Sapono? Who's that?" Asked Malon.
"Oh. I didn't know the name of this horse so I gave it one. You don't mind do you?" Said Ganondorf, mounting Sapono.
"No. His name is Cloud. But, I like Sapono better. I was wondering why he wouldn't come when I called him Cloud. Now, I know the reason." Said Malon, smiling at the two of them.
"Yeah. I guess he likes the name too." Said Ganondorf.
He kicked his heels into Sapono's sides and got off at a gallop. Riding out into the field. It was still early morning and most of the Gerudo haven't gotten up. They became lazier because they no longer had to protect anything for right now.
Ganondorf didn't mind. They would probably try to stop him from going out into the field if he told them what he was going to do. Ganondorf wanted to see the forbidden forest. He heard of it from Malon. She said no one ever goes in there and no one ever comes out.
That meant that those Hyrulans wouldn't be there and he could be by himself. He wanted to think and rest for awhile.
Sapono rounded a tree and Ganondorf saw a small path leading around another corner. So, he decided to see if this was the entrance to the forest. Sapono rounded the corner and Ganondorf saw a tunnel. It was dark inside and he could smell the scent of trees. So, him and Sapono went through the tunnel.
He went across a wooden bridge. Sapono went slow in order not to swing the bridge. Once they got through the second tunnel, Ganondorf saw a city like forest. There were stumps, with doors cut into them, tree houses, fences, bushes, a stream and children.
Every one of the children wore green tunics, brown belts, boots and a green hat. None of them had weapons or anything that could harm someone. The strangest thing about all of them was, a small fairy would follow each and everyone. Revolving around their heads. The children didn't seem to mind, and would talk to the fairies.
Ganondorf gasped at it all. Sapono had stopped only a couple of feet in the forest. He, seemly was looking around at everything too.
The children stopped what they were doing and turned to him. They all ran up to him and started to marvel at him and Sapono.
"wow! I've never seen you around here. Where do you come from?" Asked one.
"What creature is this?" Asked another.
"What kind of clothes are those?" Asked yet another.
"Why don't you have a fairy?" Asked a fourth.
"Is your skin really green?" Asked a fifth.
Then, a another kid who was slightly taller than the rest came. He had red hair with freckles on his face. He wore shoes that were green, and curved at the end. His skin was paled and his looked pretty tough.
"Who is this?" He asked, in a demanding voice.
They all turned around and groaned.
"Ummm….. I'm Ganondorf." Ganondorf said.
"Yes, and I am Mido. The chief of the Kokirri. Now, what are you?" He asked rudely.
"I am a Gerudo." Ganondorf answered. Sapono snorted.
"A Gerudo? What's that?" He asked.
"A Gerudo is a person from the tribe Gerudo. I am from the Gerudo Fortress, near the desert sands." Answered Ganondorf.
"What creature are you riding?" He asked, pointing to Sapono.
"This is Sapono. He is a horse, from Lon Lon Ranch." Answered Ganondorf.
"What's Lon Lon Ranch?" He asked.
"It's a placed where horses live. Where people take care of them, and ride them." Ganondorf said.
"Oh. Are you from outside of the forest?" He asked. Everyone else looked up at Ganondorf.
"Yes." Ganondorf said simply.
Everyone started to mumble and gasp. They whispered to each other. Ganondorf raised and eyebrow.
"We have never seen someone from the outside before. You should not be here. The Great Deku tree will not like this at all." Said Mido.
"Great Deku Tree? What's that?" Asked Ganondorf.
"It's our guardian." Answered Mido.
One of the Kokirri's climbed up and reached inside Ganondorf's pocket and pulled out a rupee.
"Look at what I found!" She said.
"Hey! Give that back. Wait, you've never seen a rupee before?" Asked Ganondorf.
"No. That's what is it? What does it do? It's pretty." She said. She had short green hair.
"It's used to trade for things you need. What you have is a blue rupee. It's worth five." He said.
He looked down and saw them all in confusion.
Ganondorf got off Sapono and sent him to roam around and be petted by the Kokirri. Most of them had followed Ganondorf. He sat down on a stump and started to tell them about the outside world.
"So, Ganondorf. What's a desert?" One asked.
"It's a place where, sand is. No grass grows in the desert. No trees either. There is hardly any water, and plenty of stones." He answered.
"How can someone live in a place like that?" Another one asked.
It went on like that for a long time. Soon, Ganondorf told them all about lake Hylia, the desert, currency, ranches, temples, Gerudo, Hyrulans, Sheikains, swords, shields, bow and arrows, magic and shops.
Ganondorf's throat was so dry, he couldn't even spit. The Kokirri asked him to stay for the night, which he had to decline. However, he promised he'd be back and with a real Hyrulan.
Ganondorf whistled for Sapono, who came running with two Kokirri's on his back. Ganondorf helped them off, and mounted. He waved good-bye to all of them and left the forest.
Deep inside the forest, the great Deku tree frowned at what he felt. A strange magic energy had been in his forest for the whole day, but then just left. All of his Kokirri were fine and seemed sad to see it go.
'Thou must be thy evil presents from thy blacken sky of lightening, many moons ago.' Thought the Great Deku Tree.
(For those who have no idea what he just said, Ummm thought. It was 'He must be the evil person that I felt from ten years ago' remember Ganondorf was born ten years ago.)
Ganondorf rode as fast as Sapono could carry him. It was dust already and din's eye was moving behind the hilltop. Din's eye disappeared before Ganondorf could get into the ranch. When he was riding, something spilt open the ground and came from it. Ganondorf looked behind Sapono and saw a small skeleton with red eyes, claws, weird shaped skull and a loincloth. It came after him and Sapono.
Sapono reared and took off faster than ever. Ganondorf struggled to stay on. Sapono wasn't watching where they were going, too scared to. Ganondorf couldn't stop Sapono.
"SAPONO! Slow down!" Yelled Ganondorf. Sapono started to slow down finally. Then, Ganondorf looked from Sapono's head to what was in head of them. A tree branch.
It struck Ganondorf hard in the head. Causing him to fall off Sapono's back. He hit the ground with a loud thud. Blood slid down the side of his face. His forehead bleeding badly. He had a splitting headache. His body refused to move an inch. He was only twenty feet from the Ranch.
'What bad luck.' He thought sourly. His vision began to blur and everything went black.
Two shadowy figures were floating above him. Watching this all happen. Both on brooms.
"So, what should we do sis?" Asked one of the Witches.
"I don't know Koume." Said the second one.
"I say, let's help the boy out. If he is our future King, he is the only one in the whole land who can get us the desert. Let's help him Kotake." Said Koume.
They both swooped down and each grabbed an arm. They flew above the ground and took off for Gerudo Fortress. Sapono, watched and snorted. He took off, following them. Determined to get his new master back.
Kotake and Koume brought him to the Fortress and set him down in a bed somewhere in the walls. Ganondorf slowly came to life. His head pounded with pain and he groaned.
"I think he is ill." Said Koume.
"I think he is just in pain from the cut on his forehead. Let's heal it shall we?" Said Kotake.
The two sisters set to work healing his forehead with their magic. Once the cut was repaired, Ganondorf quickly opened his eyes and looked into the faces of the witches.
"Where am I?" He asked. Too dark to see where he was.
"You are at the Gerudo Fortress. We brought you here Master." Said Kotake.
"Yes, are you feeling well Master?" Asked Koume.
"Master? What are you two talking about? Wait a second, don't I know you from somewhere?" He asked, seeing part of their faces from the moon light.
"Yes, from the desert. I saved you from the quicksand. I hope you will ask of my name Master." Said Kotake.
"I…….. What is your name?" Asked Ganondorf.
"My name is Kotake. This is my sister Koume. We are the two witches of the sand. Our powers grow stronger, the closer we are to the desert. So we brought you here, and then healed your wound." Said Kotake.
"Well, that explains why I am here. My name is Ganondorf. Why do you two keep on calling me Master? I'm not your master." Said Ganondorf.
"Yes, you are. You are the future King of the Desert, therefore you are our Master." Said Koume.
"Listen, I think it is real nice of you two, to go out of your way for me, and I will repay you for your deeds. But, I'm not your master. I am not the master of no one. I am the future King of the Gerudo, true but I have no title over you two. What is the true reason why you two call me Master? Is it the stupid prophecy that I will be the evil King?" Asked Ganondorf.
"Yes, that is the true reason. I can smell the power with in you. You have the gift to become the evil King. Thou it is your choice as to if you want to be the evil King." Said Koume.
"So, you believe I can still be good and have this power?" Asked Ganondorf hopefully.
"It is very unlikely, but yes we do. We think you can choose your own path. It depends on what you choose that in life as to weather you become the evil King or just the Gerudo King. The choice is yours and you're alone. But, we will be waiting out in the desert. If you are ever in need of our services, we will always be there, in the desert sands. All you need to do is yell out our names. Good-bye." Said Kotake. They both flew out the window before Ganondorf could saw anything.
Ganondorf sat at the end on the bed for some time. Thinking about what just happened. He could have all this power, yet still be good. That's what he wanted. To have the magic, but still be a good person. He would even give up the magic to stay good.
Ganondorf heard a snort and neigh come from outside. He ran outside and saw Sapono waiting for him.
"Sapono! Your safe!" Said Ganondorf, running up to Sapono and hugging his neck.
"I'm glad to see that you're ok. Malon would chew off my ear if I lost you." Said Ganondorf with a smile on his face.
Sapono snorted happily. Ganondorf mounted Sapono and rode off to the ranch, hopping that none of those skeleton things come from the ground again.
Nabooru paced around the table again. All the Gerudo and Malon were in the barn. Max was already asleep.
"How could you let him go like that Child? You know he was injured. We can't send out troops to get him, because that would put our position out. If something has happened to that child I swear by the Goddesses.." She started, but someone started a sentence before her.
"You swear what Nabooru?" Said Ganondorf, leaning against the door way.
"Ganondorf! Your ok. What happened?" She asked.
"Sapono had a scare by some kind of skeleton popping out of the ground. He ran too fast for me to see where we were going. So, I got hit by a branch. Knocked out. Two witches, Kotake and Koume took me to the Gerudo Fortress and healed my wound. Then, I headed here. Oh and Nabooru, it's not right to yell at Malon. She didn't do anything wrong. I did. I should of known better than to go off without one of you with me. Sorry." He said.
Nabooru didn't say anything. She just patted his shoulder and left for bed. The rest of the Gerudo went off for bed in the grazing field. Malon and Seri were left.
"Ganondorf, may I talk to you about something?" asked Seri.
Ganondorf's eyes widen alittle. He was younger than she was. She was a top fighter, and she was asking his permission to talk to him? Something was up.
"Why does everyone start giving me respect? I don't deserve it, nor do I want it." Said Ganondorf.
"You do deserve it. You saved us all. And you have proven yourself to be a magic holder. You our now King." Said Seri.
"King? But, I'm not eighteen yet! I'm not even old enough to be a solider! How can I be King?" Asked Ganondorf.
"You, have proven yourself beyond any of the other Kings before you. We all made the a vote, and you our King now." Said Seri.
Ganondorf, joined Malon on sitting on a hay block. He held his head down low, thinking things over. Everything was moving too fast. First, the group of Hyrulans say he is the future evil king, He has magic powers, he nearly killed someone, two witches call him their master and now he is the King of the Gerudo?!
'This is too much for one ten year old to take in a single week!' He thought.
"King. May, I ask you something?" Asked Seri.
"Yes." Said Ganondorf.
"I wish that you lead us to war with the Hyrulans. To get back at them for what they did to your Mother, Aunt and Teacher!" Said Seri, sternly.
"I know my Teacher was you twin Seri. I am very sorry for your loss and for mine. I wish that is could not have happened true, but more blood shed will only prove that we are after blood. It will prove them right in this game and I do not want that to happen no matter what anyone thinks." Said Ganondorf.
"Yes, I know…" She started, but Ganondorf cut her off.
"I am not finished." He looked up into her eyes. "I am tried of this week and warn out by all the trails. I have cried more in two days then in my whole life. I have needed my skill and found new powers all in the same day. I have got my first scar from battle yesterday. I do not want to go into a war where more people will be killed and more of my people lying dead on the ground, only for their blood to soak into the grass. Even if I wanted to attack them, it would be of no use. They have us out numbered and our powered. It would only mean complete destruction of the Gerudo race. And for innocent people to get hurt. I will not allow that. Now, I know how you feel Seri. I feel the same way you do. I wish there was something, anything I could do for them, but only death will come of it. I don't want others like me to suffer from loss. Please understand that."
Seri, looked into the eyes of Ganondorf. He was so young, yet sounded so wise and ancient with his words. They poured into her heart like drops of water. She nodded.
"Yes, my King. I do understand. You are wise beyond your years. I trust in your word. Please forgive my rudeness towards you." She said, bowing before Ganondorf.
"There is no need for forgiveness. You were only speaking your mind and that is not a crime. Now, I am tried. I think I will sleep in the barn tonight. Is that ok Malon?" Ganondorf asked, turning to Malon.
"Of course it is." Said Malon, looking surprised that he asked such a question.
Seri looked at both for them, before leaving. Nabooru listened from the open window.
'That boy will lead us well. If he keeps on this track that is.' Thought Nabooru. She never felt so proud of Ganondorf, till now. She walked to where she slept and went to sleep.
Ganondorf turned to Malon and grinned.
"So, where did you really go to today?" Asked Malon.
"The Forest." Said Ganondorf.
"Oh. Tell me all about it." Said Malon.
"My pleasure." He started and told Malon of the forest, and the Kokirri. Then of his trip back and the witches.
Malon and Ganondorf laid down in the hay stalk. Malon resting her head on his shoulder.
Malon yawned and asked, "So, do you think that you will be able to use magic?"
"I don't know. I think it only comes out when I am bleeding." He answered.
"What kind of magic does that?" Asked Malon, sleepily.
Ganondorf laughed and said, "I guess my kind of magic does. I will have to practice it tomorrow though. Maybe I will be able to use some of it then."
He looked down and saw Malon was already asleep. He smiled and went to sleep himself.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Now that is cute! Ok, maybe it's just me. Please review!
Ganondorf's Childhood Years
Part 4-Another Day, Another Adventure
Ganondorf could feel the sun from the windows on his eyes. His head felt like it was spinning around. His body felt almost numb. He forced himself to stay awake. Trying to listen to the voices in the room. His eyes refused to open.

"Yes, you are right, but he is just a child. You need to give him some time. He can't just wake up one day and be our King." Hissed Nabooru.
"But, he is so strong. He took out a Sheikain and he saved all of us. He has proven himself beyond all reason. He is the one that will lead us. He has to lead us to war against the Hyrulans. He has the power and the knowledge to win us the war." Seri said.
"Yes, but let us let him decide what is best for his future. Only he can make that decision. No one else can. Wait, until he is awake and healed. I don't want any presser on him. He's been through enough to last a life time." Said Nabooru.
"Yes. I will wait till he has awakened." Said Seri, as Ganondorf felt her hand brush off the hairs from his face.
"He has such sharp figures for one so young in years. I pray to the goddesses that makes him ready for what lies ahead in his life." Said Nabooru.
Ganondorf couldn't refuse sleep anymore, as he fell back to slumber.

"What's her name?" Asked Ganondorf.
"Her name is Epona. Every horse that is this color gets the name Epona. But, only one is born every fifteen years or so." Said Malon.
"Oh. Well, Sapono and I are going riding in Hyrule field." Said Ganondorf, petting Sapono's neck.
"Sapono? Who's that?" Asked Malon.
"Oh. I didn't know the name of this horse so I gave it one. You don't mind do you?" Said Ganondorf, mounting Sapono.
"No. His name is Cloud. But, I like Sapono better. I was wondering why he wouldn't come when I called him Cloud. Now, I know the reason." Said Malon, smiling at the two of them.
"Yeah. I guess he likes the name too." Said Ganondorf.
He kicked his heels into Sapono's sides and got off at a gallop. Riding out into the field. It was still early morning and most of the Gerudo haven't gotten up. They became lazier because they no longer had to protect anything for right now.

"Who is this?" He asked, in a demanding voice.
They all turned around and groaned.
"Ummm….. I'm Ganondorf." Ganondorf said.
"Yes, and I am Mido. The chief of the Kokirri. Now, what are you?" He asked rudely.
"I am a Gerudo." Ganondorf answered. Sapono snorted.
"A Gerudo? What's that?" He asked.
"A Gerudo is a person from the tribe Gerudo. I am from the Gerudo Fortress, near the desert sands." Answered Ganondorf.
"What creature are you riding?" He asked, pointing to Sapono.
"This is Sapono. He is a horse, from Lon Lon Ranch." Answered Ganondorf.
"What's Lon Lon Ranch?" He asked.
"It's a placed where horses live. Where people take care of them, and ride them." Ganondorf said.
"Oh. Are you from outside of the forest?" He asked. Everyone else looked up at Ganondorf.
"Yes." Ganondorf said simply.
Everyone started to mumble and gasp. They whispered to each other. Ganondorf raised and eyebrow.
"We have never seen someone from the outside before. You should not be here. The Great Deku tree will not like this at all." Said Mido.
"Great Deku Tree? What's that?" Asked Ganondorf.
"It's our guardian." Answered Mido.
One of the Kokirri's climbed up and reached inside Ganondorf's pocket and pulled out a rupee.
"Look at what I found!" She said.
"Hey! Give that back. Wait, you've never seen a rupee before?" Asked Ganondorf.
"No. That's what is it? What does it do? It's pretty." She said. She had short green hair.
"It's used to trade for things you need. What you have is a blue rupee. It's worth five." He said.
He looked down and saw them all in confusion.
Ganondorf got off Sapono and sent him to roam around and be petted by the Kokirri. Most of them had followed Ganondorf. He sat down on a stump and started to tell them about the outside world.
"So, Ganondorf. What's a desert?" One asked.
"It's a place where, sand is. No grass grows in the desert. No trees either. There is hardly any water, and plenty of stones." He answered.
"How can someone live in a place like that?" Another one asked.
It went on like that for a long time. Soon, Ganondorf told them all about lake Hylia, the desert, currency, ranches, temples, Gerudo, Hyrulans, Sheikains, swords, shields, bow and arrows, magic and shops.
Ganondorf's throat was so dry, he couldn't even spit. The Kokirri asked him to stay for the night, which he had to decline. However, he promised he'd be back and with a real Hyrulan.
Ganondorf whistled for Sapono, who came running with two Kokirri's on his back. Ganondorf helped them off, and mounted. He waved good-bye to all of them and left the forest.
Deep inside the forest, the great Deku tree frowned at what he felt. A strange magic energy had been in his forest for the whole day, but then just left. All of his Kokirri were fine and seemed sad to see it go.
'Thou must be thy evil presents from thy blacken sky of lightening, many moons ago.' Thought the Great Deku Tree.
(For those who have no idea what he just said, Ummm thought. It was 'He must be the evil person that I felt from ten years ago' remember Ganondorf was born ten years ago.)
Ganondorf rode as fast as Sapono could carry him. It was dust already and din's eye was moving behind the hilltop. Din's eye disappeared before Ganondorf could get into the ranch. When he was riding, something spilt open the ground and came from it. Ganondorf looked behind Sapono and saw a small skeleton with red eyes, claws, weird shaped skull and a loincloth. It came after him and Sapono.
Sapono reared and took off faster than ever. Ganondorf struggled to stay on. Sapono wasn't watching where they were going, too scared to. Ganondorf couldn't stop Sapono.
"SAPONO! Slow down!" Yelled Ganondorf. Sapono started to slow down finally. Then, Ganondorf looked from Sapono's head to what was in head of them. A tree branch.
It struck Ganondorf hard in the head. Causing him to fall off Sapono's back. He hit the ground with a loud thud. Blood slid down the side of his face. His forehead bleeding badly. He had a splitting headache. His body refused to move an inch. He was only twenty feet from the Ranch.
'What bad luck.' He thought sourly. His vision began to blur and everything went black.
Two shadowy figures were floating above him. Watching this all happen. Both on brooms.
"So, what should we do sis?" Asked one of the Witches.
"I don't know Koume." Said the second one.
"I say, let's help the boy out. If he is our future King, he is the only one in the whole land who can get us the desert. Let's help him Kotake." Said Koume.
They both swooped down and each grabbed an arm. They flew above the ground and took off for Gerudo Fortress. Sapono, watched and snorted. He took off, following them. Determined to get his new master back.
Kotake and Koume brought him to the Fortress and set him down in a bed somewhere in the walls. Ganondorf slowly came to life. His head pounded with pain and he groaned.
"I think he is ill." Said Koume.
"I think he is just in pain from the cut on his forehead. Let's heal it shall we?" Said Kotake.
The two sisters set to work healing his forehead with their magic. Once the cut was repaired, Ganondorf quickly opened his eyes and looked into the faces of the witches.
"Where am I?" He asked. Too dark to see where he was.
"You are at the Gerudo Fortress. We brought you here Master." Said Kotake.
"Yes, are you feeling well Master?" Asked Koume.
"Master? What are you two talking about? Wait a second, don't I know you from somewhere?" He asked, seeing part of their faces from the moon light.
"Yes, from the desert. I saved you from the quicksand. I hope you will ask of my name Master." Said Kotake.
"I…….. What is your name?" Asked Ganondorf.
"My name is Kotake. This is my sister Koume. We are the two witches of the sand. Our powers grow stronger, the closer we are to the desert. So we brought you here, and then healed your wound." Said Kotake.
"Well, that explains why I am here. My name is Ganondorf. Why do you two keep on calling me Master? I'm not your master." Said Ganondorf.
"Yes, you are. You are the future King of the Desert, therefore you are our Master." Said Koume.
"Listen, I think it is real nice of you two, to go out of your way for me, and I will repay you for your deeds. But, I'm not your master. I am not the master of no one. I am the future King of the Gerudo, true but I have no title over you two. What is the true reason why you two call me Master? Is it the stupid prophecy that I will be the evil King?" Asked Ganondorf.
"Yes, that is the true reason. I can smell the power with in you. You have the gift to become the evil King. Thou it is your choice as to if you want to be the evil King." Said Koume.
"So, you believe I can still be good and have this power?" Asked Ganondorf hopefully.
"It is very unlikely, but yes we do. We think you can choose your own path. It depends on what you choose that in life as to weather you become the evil King or just the Gerudo King. The choice is yours and you're alone. But, we will be waiting out in the desert. If you are ever in need of our services, we will always be there, in the desert sands. All you need to do is yell out our names. Good-bye." Said Kotake. They both flew out the window before Ganondorf could saw anything.
Ganondorf sat at the end on the bed for some time. Thinking about what just happened. He could have all this power, yet still be good. That's what he wanted. To have the magic, but still be a good person. He would even give up the magic to stay good.
Ganondorf heard a snort and neigh come from outside. He ran outside and saw Sapono waiting for him.
"Sapono! Your safe!" Said Ganondorf, running up to Sapono and hugging his neck.
"I'm glad to see that you're ok. Malon would chew off my ear if I lost you." Said Ganondorf with a smile on his face.
Sapono snorted happily. Ganondorf mounted Sapono and rode off to the ranch, hopping that none of those skeleton things come from the ground again.
Nabooru paced around the table again. All the Gerudo and Malon were in the barn. Max was already asleep.
"How could you let him go like that Child? You know he was injured. We can't send out troops to get him, because that would put our position out. If something has happened to that child I swear by the Goddesses.." She started, but someone started a sentence before her.
"You swear what Nabooru?" Said Ganondorf, leaning against the door way.
"Ganondorf! Your ok. What happened?" She asked.
"Sapono had a scare by some kind of skeleton popping out of the ground. He ran too fast for me to see where we were going. So, I got hit by a branch. Knocked out. Two witches, Kotake and Koume took me to the Gerudo Fortress and healed my wound. Then, I headed here. Oh and Nabooru, it's not right to yell at Malon. She didn't do anything wrong. I did. I should of known better than to go off without one of you with me. Sorry." He said.
Nabooru didn't say anything. She just patted his shoulder and left for bed. The rest of the Gerudo went off for bed in the grazing field. Malon and Seri were left.
"Ganondorf, may I talk to you about something?" asked Seri.
Ganondorf's eyes widen alittle. He was younger than she was. She was a top fighter, and she was asking his permission to talk to him? Something was up.
"Why does everyone start giving me respect? I don't deserve it, nor do I want it." Said Ganondorf.
"You do deserve it. You saved us all. And you have proven yourself to be a magic holder. You our now King." Said Seri.
"King? But, I'm not eighteen yet! I'm not even old enough to be a solider! How can I be King?" Asked Ganondorf.
"You, have proven yourself beyond any of the other Kings before you. We all made the a vote, and you our King now." Said Seri.
Ganondorf, joined Malon on sitting on a hay block. He held his head down low, thinking things over. Everything was moving too fast. First, the group of Hyrulans say he is the future evil king, He has magic powers, he nearly killed someone, two witches call him their master and now he is the King of the Gerudo?!
'This is too much for one ten year old to take in a single week!' He thought.
"King. May, I ask you something?" Asked Seri.
"Yes." Said Ganondorf.
"I wish that you lead us to war with the Hyrulans. To get back at them for what they did to your Mother, Aunt and Teacher!" Said Seri, sternly.
"I know my Teacher was you twin Seri. I am very sorry for your loss and for mine. I wish that is could not have happened true, but more blood shed will only prove that we are after blood. It will prove them right in this game and I do not want that to happen no matter what anyone thinks." Said Ganondorf.
"Yes, I know…" She started, but Ganondorf cut her off.
"I am not finished." He looked up into her eyes. "I am tried of this week and warn out by all the trails. I have cried more in two days then in my whole life. I have needed my skill and found new powers all in the same day. I have got my first scar from battle yesterday. I do not want to go into a war where more people will be killed and more of my people lying dead on the ground, only for their blood to soak into the grass. Even if I wanted to attack them, it would be of no use. They have us out numbered and our powered. It would only mean complete destruction of the Gerudo race. And for innocent people to get hurt. I will not allow that. Now, I know how you feel Seri. I feel the same way you do. I wish there was something, anything I could do for them, but only death will come of it. I don't want others like me to suffer from loss. Please understand that."
Seri, looked into the eyes of Ganondorf. He was so young, yet sounded so wise and ancient with his words. They poured into her heart like drops of water. She nodded.
"Yes, my King. I do understand. You are wise beyond your years. I trust in your word. Please forgive my rudeness towards you." She said, bowing before Ganondorf.
"There is no need for forgiveness. You were only speaking your mind and that is not a crime. Now, I am tried. I think I will sleep in the barn tonight. Is that ok Malon?" Ganondorf asked, turning to Malon.
"Of course it is." Said Malon, looking surprised that he asked such a question.
Seri looked at both for them, before leaving. Nabooru listened from the open window.
'That boy will lead us well. If he keeps on this track that is.' Thought Nabooru. She never felt so proud of Ganondorf, till now. She walked to where she slept and went to sleep.
Ganondorf turned to Malon and grinned.
"So, where did you really go to today?" Asked Malon.
"The Forest." Said Ganondorf.
"Oh. Tell me all about it." Said Malon.
"My pleasure." He started and told Malon of the forest, and the Kokirri. Then of his trip back and the witches.
Malon and Ganondorf laid down in the hay stalk. Malon resting her head on his shoulder.
Malon yawned and asked, "So, do you think that you will be able to use magic?"
"I don't know. I think it only comes out when I am bleeding." He answered.
"What kind of magic does that?" Asked Malon, sleepily.
Ganondorf laughed and said, "I guess my kind of magic does. I will have to practice it tomorrow though. Maybe I will be able to use some of it then."
He looked down and saw Malon was already asleep. He smiled and went to sleep himself.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Now that is cute! Ok, maybe it's just me. Please review!
