Worlds Torn
By Love_Hina_Fan
Chapter 5
The room was almost a dark mirror of the throne room in Hyrule Castle. It was pitch black, saved for two torches, one on either side of the large, rusted iron doors. The darkness of the room acted like a vacuum, diminishing what little light the torches gave off. The doors slowing opened, creaking and screaming in protest as they gave way. In came a small creature no larger than a child, cloaked in dark green, from his head to his toes. Only his eyes showed, a deep penetrating red. But the blackness of the room pierced even his senses. The doors closed behind him, and he noticed the color of the rust on the doors wasn't natural, it seemed more that of dried blood. On instinct he let his gloved hand stray to his sickle shaped swallow, crafted by none other than the master Guerdo blacksmiths of the forsaken desert. His senses were better than any fighter he had ever faced, but here in this room, he felt as though he were blind, he couldn't make out anything beyond the void in front of him. He decided to wait, master would speak when he was ready.
This silence went on for what seemed like hours, but was most likely only a few moments, before the dark began to speak:
What are the reports from the fronts, Dakar? But the voice didn't make a sound, because it was inside of his head, inside his goddamn head. But if the master could get inside his head. then he already knew the reports, but who was he to question the emperor.
"Sire, the front in Hyrule is going as planned, should we push forward?"
No, the King knows we are here; let him make the next move. And what of Maelstrom? The Human country to the North of Hyrule was a prosperous nation, and for some reason had lately been the center of the Emperors interest, but Dakar could not make heads or tails of it, so he decided not to ask, he would be told in due time.
"The Humans have decimated the 5th and 7th divisions of Moblins, and taken out most of the squadrons of our flyers. Their scientists", the curious human word tasted strange to him, "are using a new type of magic to combat our forces. The archers they possess use nothing like the bows and arrows we've faced in Hyrule. They use a strange fire-creating substance to throw a rock at such high speeds so as to break right through the tough armor of most of our units. Our loses are heavy, sire." Dakar said almost bowing his head in shame. He did have one good point of good news though. "But the Humans do not seem interested in pursuing our forces as they retreat, they are content to stay where they are. Reconnaissance says that the main city center of the Humans is so large; it would encompass the entire Great Plain of Hyrule. And the defenses are the most complex we've seen."
Thank you Dakar. All is going to plan, once we have taken Hyrule, we will find the entrance to the sacred realm and then you shall bring me back from my hell. Then and only then will we be strong enough to destroy the nation of Maelstrom. Only then. Tell the remaining divisions there to retreat and join the rest of my dark army in the Lost Woods outside of Hyrule. We'll see just what King Daphnes has planned for us.
