Chapter Twelve: Agents of the Dark Lord
Darius was in the middle of his breakfast when he was interrupted by a familiar icy wind. He immediately dropped the food that was on its way to his mouth. In front of him stood the very image of horror. It was the god of Chaos himself, Space. It was bad enough that talking to the god through black magic connections gave him the chills but having Space stand in front of him made him just about piss in his pants. The overbearing shadow of the god seemed to suck in what little light there was in the tent. His entire body was covered in a black cloak with the hood up so that his face (if he had one) could not be seen.
Darius knew it was obviously an emergency if Space had come to see him personally rather than speak to him through his mind. He could also feel it in the air that had turned bitterly cold.
"We have a problem," Space said softly. His voice was monotone but nevertheless it held enough urgency to scare the prince. Gathering up his courage, Darius held his head high and looked at the black hole that was Space's face.
"And what problem might that be?" Darius' tone was confident and demanding but he knew he couldn't fool a god. At least he could show Space that he was trying.
"Don't take that tone with me mortal!" Space hissed softly. His voice had not changed but the threat was quite real.
"Please forgive me Master! I spoke out of confusion since I see no problem," Darius pleaded. He was still seated next to the breakfast table but if Space did not forgive him he knew the next place he would be was on the floor groveling.
"You are forgiven, you ungrateful wretch! The problem is the girl that should be dead three times over is not! You failed to kill her at the village and you had the element of surprise. Next she nearly stumbles right into your lap and you do not kill her then. And now she has recovered from the sickness that I sent upon her. If you fail the next chance you get you will spend an eternity in the depths of the Emptiness where you will be tortured every single day!" Space's voice echoed throughout the small tent making Darius cower in the shadow that stood over him.
"I-I am v-very sorry, M-Master. It will not h-happen again. The girl that you seek will die," Darius assured the god as he trembled.
"Make sure that she does. I must go attend to other matters for the moment though. Take this." Space threw a small leather pouch as Darius' face. "It contains powerful black magic that can be used to bring down the walls of Hyrule Castle. Use it well." With that the dark god turned to leave.
"Master! Wait!" Darius called. He didn't know where he found the courage to stop the God of Chaos but there was something he needed to know.
"What?"
"Master. . .um. . .what is so special about this girl that she needs to be killed? And who was the agent you implored years ago? " Darius asked hesitantly. He knew very well that Space could and probably would kill him for asking a question like that.
Darius waited for the blow when there was no answer to his question. But it never came. Instead he heard a chuckle. Wait a minute! A chuckle? That couldn't be right. The god of Emptiness did not just chuckle. Darius looked up to find that Space was indeed chuckling though the sound it made just frightened Darius even more.
"So the princeling has actually grown a brain," Space chuckled. Darius couldn't see what was so funny.
"Well, I suppose I should tell you. Things might go a little bit smoother if you understood better. The girl is none of your concern. I will only tell you that she is the one person that can ruin my plans. But about the agent I implored years ago he still serves me today though he doesn't know it."
Darius was only more confused by the statement.
"I'm sure you've heard about how the Hero of Time and the Seven Sages defeated Ganondorf and the monster that he became, Ganon, right?"
Darius nodded. There was nobody in this world that hadn't heard of the heroic deed.
"Well, Ganon was under my service. The only way to bring about the Emptiness again is for someone to obtain the Triforce and wish for it to return. Ganon was the one person that held the potential to get the Triforce."
"Wait, if the only way is to get the Triforce then we're fighting a losing battle since the Triforce of Power was sealed away with Ganon," Darius interrupted.
"I'm the one explaining, now shut up!" Space yelled. Darius meekly nodded and Space continued.
"Ganon was able to get the Triforce but Nayru, Din, and Farore did their jobs well. Because Ganon only wanted it for power the Triforce split into three separate parts and the only way to make a wish is to have the complete Triforce. So I ordered Ganon to find the other two pieces, which he did. He discovered who held the other parts and sent me pictures of their faces. I now know that those two people happen to be the King and Queen of Hyrule. Once Ganon was defeated I thought all was lost but then you came along. With your army as a distraction I will free Ganon. We will then obtain the Triforce parts and the Emptiness will return. Does it all make sense now?" Space asked.
Darius nodded, visions of the crown of Hyrule placed on his head with Zelda by his side. Space held back a snicker. The fool. He actually thought that he could outsmart or even gain anything while working with the god of Chaos. Once the Emptiness was brought back, the world would be destroyed and Space could live in peace to the sound of the screams of the three great goddesses.
His cold smile turned to an icy frown. There was only one person that stood in way of that goal. And he would make sure that she died a painful death indeed. With an icy blast of wind Space was gone from the tent, unnoticed by Darius as he finished his breakfast daydreaming.

Yes, it's another short chapter but hey I updated fast. I guess I was suddenly inspired or something. Either that or really bored. Anyways this just kind of explains what I think could have been the real reason the Ganondorf wanted the Triforce. I mean, come on, taking over the world is so boring now a days so I thought I'd spice it up!
Thank you to STK for that lovely review you left me. It was so inspiring! Your words "this is good" will be imprinted in my memory forever. If you couldn't tell I'm being sarcastic. But thanks for taking your time to write me a review anyway.
To DarkBlackNoid: 'Opps!' is right.
To heath999: Yes the prophecy is going to happen. I wouldn't put it in there if it wasn't going to.
Sorry about the biting sarcasm today guys. I'm not really angry or anything. Well, at least not at you. See ya next chapter!
