Link stood there. And was completely lost for words. He had never seen
such evil, carnage. Never before had he been so stumped.
Zelda had tried to get him to go, but he just stayed there. So Zelda boarded Epona, and left.
Four hours later, Ruaru, the wind sage arrived, out of breath. "I-huh huh- would of been here-huf huf-sooner, but Malon- huf huf- couldn't find me. Where is Din-"
Link pointed to the carcass.
"Oh god, I was far too late...If only Durgen were still alive, he would know what to do..."
Link had never forgiven the sages for what they did to Durgen.
"The best thing to do, Link, is for you and your loved ones to lie low."
Link suddenly remembered "When he wanted me to suffer, how, and why exactly? Farore kind of told me, but-"
Ruaru breathed heavily "Well, Blaftite always wanted to avenge his loves death, as I'm sure you have heard already, so the best way to do so, in Blaftite's mind, was to destroy what Din held most dear. Hyrule. And to put the icing on the cake, he used the chosen ones of Din. First, there was Agahnim. When he failed, he used Onyx, and when Onyx failed, he used Agahnim's son, Gannondorf. But every time, you Link, caused his dream to die. And when Gannon was killed a few years ago, Blaftite gave up. So he went straight to Din. Now that Din is dead, he wants to kill you, but not after letting you suffer; how he suffered. So he is going to find your loved ones. Make them hurt. Then kill you. Then destroy the Sages. Then kill the remaining goddesses. The kill the first god, his father, Rogan."
Link shook his head, and remembered that Zelda was alone!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the Temple of Blaftite in the heart of the Golden Realm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zelda was chained to a wall in the corner, brutally bruised, and bleeding.
Blaftite stood a few feet away from her. "Oh you really are beautiful, but not beautiful for Link."
Zelda screamed at him "You shut up!"
Blaftite was slowly breaking her mind. "You know he cold never love a pompous little whore like yourself! He loves the ranch girl..."
"NO! HE LOVES ME AND ONLY ME!"
Blaftite smiled with glee, having found her weakness. "No. No, I can read his mind. He can't love you" He then looked into her soul to find her greatest weakness, or self hate. "You just aren't good enough to ever live up to the expectations of the great hero of time..."
Zelda cried out "What do you want!" She sobbed and sobbed.
"Your tears...And blood...and pain...and soul...Nothing more, and nothing less."
She let out another cry of despair.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In Hyrule field ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Link galloped as fast as he could, to the Kokiri Forest to pick up his things.
When he arrived, he dismounted hurriedly, and ran in to the forest.
Saria walked up to him "What is wrong Link!"
Link ran right past her, knocking her flat, and he ran up his old tree house, and picked up his long shot, and arrows.
When he went back down, he found a hurt Saria. Her eyes were watery. He felt bad.
"I'm so sorry, but I have to leave really fast"
"Is Zelda in trouble again?" Saria asked disdainfully; not like herself.
Link turned about with hurt anger in his eyes. "Zelda is not simply captured, Saria. I can feel her. She is going to die this time if..." He trailed off, tears rolling down his features, something that had not happened since he was a small boy. "I cant lose her Saria...I love her...More than anything...Do you understand what that is like?"
Saria bit her lip "Yes"
Link stood up and ran away to Epona.
Saria sat alone crushed.
When Link got to the outside of the forest, Epona was missing.
"That stupid GOD DAMNED HORSE!"
Link didn't take time to brood, he just ran off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Five minutes prior ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Malon was sulking, walking outside her ranch, until she spotted Epona.
"I know how I can prove myself to Link! Ill save Zelda, then he will have to love me!"
She laughed at her thought, and boarded the horse.
Armed with nothing but a large knife in the haversack of the horse, she rode to face her destiny.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At Blaftite's Temple ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I know Link is coming here. That is why I left the gate open. When he comes here, he will suffer and die, while you watch each other die! Poetic, no? HAHahHHAEHEHEHE!"
As he laughed, a large horse galloped into the room, knocking down walls, and statues.
"Ahaaahhh...Link, so glad you could join-"
Malon had leapt off of Epona, and gouged the knife deep into Blaftites's sternum.
As Blaftite melted into the floor screaming in agony, Malon ran over to help Zelda when she heard a creek behind her. It was Link. "It is alright Malon, I'm here!" Malon completely forgot about Zelda and ran at Link, giving him a very passionate kiss on his mouth. When they hugged, Link looked over Malon's shoulder and scowled at Zelda.
Realization took Malon too slowly, and Link gave a quick squeeze with his arms, almost snapping her spine. As she fell unconscious on the floor, she saw Link turn back to Blaftite. Blaftite casually removed the dagger from his chest and stabbed in Malon's leg, smiling at her wail of pain. "Foolish little girl, what gave you that idea?"
Before he could slit Malon's throat, a huge man with a green beard, and long golden hair walked into the room, escorted by Link. The real Link.
"Rogan!"
Zelda had tried to get him to go, but he just stayed there. So Zelda boarded Epona, and left.
