Chapter Four: Enemy
Prince Darius strolled through the camp at a leisurely pace. He was a tall handsome man and that combined with the fact that he was a prince made him irresistible to women. His black hair was short and stylish. The black of his hair completely accented his baby blue eyes. Darius was muscular and trained in the arts of battle. He was also cunning, ruthless, and smart. If you wanted to describe him in just one word that word would be dangerous. Darius knew how to use people to get his way. He got anything and everything he wanted. Everything that is except for one princess of Hyrule.
Soon after Ganondorf had been sealed away in the Sacred Realm, Darius had gone to court princess Zelda. Her kingdom was the largest in the region as well as the wealthiest. Darius had been very (I use very as an understatement) put off when she chose some backwater Hylian to be her husband. Fuming he had gone home in a rage and started tearing up his rooms. Darius smiled at the memory. If Zelda hadn't refused him he would have never found the most perfect weapon to use against his enemies.
In a fit of rage, Darius had thrown a chair at the wall. The sound the wall made when it hit wasn't a dull thunk muted by the stones but a hollow ping that proved the wall was a fake. Searching carefully Darius had managed to find the secret door in the wall. Inside there was a small chamber that held only a bookcase. The books it held though were ancient spell books used in the olden days to cast spells. Many of the books contained spells in the arts of Dark magic. Going through the books Darius soon came upon one of the most powerful spells in the world. The power to call on the gods themselves.
Very intrigued to see whether it worked or not Darius set up the spell and called upon the gods. He had expected to be greeted by on of the three goddesses that had created the world. They were the only gods he knew of. He was pleasantly surprised when a much darker god, Space, greeted him. The name suited him perfectly for that's what he was. Space was the god of the Emptiness. Darius wondered why Space had come to him and so he asked. It turned out that Space wanted the Emptiness back. When the goddesses that had created the world came into being there had been a war between the two sides. Unfortunately for Space the goddesses won and created the world destroying the Emptiness. That was why Space needed Darius.
To regain the peace and quiet of the Emptiness, the world needed to fall to shadow. He had tried several years ago with another agent but he was defeated. Darius was curious as to what he could do and again asked the dark god. Space seemed to grin even though none of his face could be seen. It was just a feeling that Darius had gotten. Space explained to Darius that for the world to fall into shadow the Temple of Time that housed the Master Sword must be destroyed. The seal between Hyrule and Sacred Realm would rip and once again the world would fall to the Emptiness. Of course Darius would be head of the world and all the minions he wanted. Space promised Darius help in an invasion of Hyrule by giving Darius magic to confuse his opponents. Darius agreed instantly. He would get revenge on Hyrule and rule the world all in one blow. It was everything he wanted.
Darius was thrown from his reflection when a Captain came running up.
"Sire, sundown is upon us. When do we leave for the attack on Laver?" the Captain asked nervously. Something about the Prince made him edgy but he wasn't quite sure what it was.
"We leave now. Send out the Fourth and Fifth Platoons to start the first wave. Second wave will consist of Tenth and Fifteenth platoons. For such a small town that's all we should need. The attack starts at the midnight. Understood!" Prince Darius ordered.
"Yes, sir!" The Captain threw up a hasty salute before turning around and hurrying off. He didn't want to have to be with the Prince any longer than he had to.
"Everything is going according to plan, Master," Darius muttered under his breath. An icy breeze brushed his ear as if to answer him. Darius shivered before heading to his tent.

Yes it's short but what do you want me to do. I hope you understand more or less about Space and if you don't just ask. I tried to make it as clear as possible but half the time the things that I'm thinking don't come out right on paper.
