Dark Link landed with a hard thump on the dirt road.
"And never come back! Traitor!"
Dark Link's frame slumped, and held his hands to his face as if they were some sort of dam that could hold back his emotions. He bit his lip, clenched his fists and eyes, and twisted his ear, but a mighty shudder caused his emotions to give way. He wept openly like a small child, and rocked back and forth on his seat. The tears burned his eyes, for he had never cried before. Everything had gone so wrong. So very wrong. *No no no no no no! I don't deserve this!
He stood up, and walked a few paces, but his face fell into his hands again.
"Ah how the mighty have fallen, indeed." Dark Link whipped around to see the towering figure of Blaftite.
"You get back! I'll kill you, I swear to Malon I will!"
"I'm sure you would.And this swearing to Malon, very interesting.I understand that you love that little wretch!"
Dark link dove ferociously, only to be knocked head over heels.
"You are a stupid fool! I was responsible for your abominable creation, and can be responsible for your needed destruction!" He picked up Dark Link by his throat.
"Do you want to save the Prince, and his children?"
Dark Link mouthed a "yes" and was dropped with a thud.
"Very good! Then kill Razfile, with this." He handed Dark Link the arrow in which Dark Link tried to kill Blaftite.
"Oh, and you do know that Malon can only love immortals now? If you finish the task, I can make your love ring for all time, and make you a god! Hurry, Razfile should be at the castle shortly."
Dark Link stood up, glared at Blaftite, and sprinted to the Hyrulian castle.
"He He He He He. And the little nymph ran away."
Blaftite went to turn around, but was struck in the back by an arrow.
"Now you die!" Spoke Yue from over head. Yue went to push the arrow in further, but she was knocked back.
"Don't interfere, Yue! If Razfile doesn't die, he will kill you, and then me next! You know he will!"
Yue sprung back up, giving Blaftite a hard kick in the face.
"Oh, I know! I desperately hope Link and his family survive, but I want to see you die, even if I have to in the process!"
"So be it!" And with what strength Blaftite had left, he fought Yue.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At the castle ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A guard slumped to the ground, bleeding profusely from his neck. Over him, stood Razfile. All around the grounds, the whole of the sentry watch was dead. "Now rise, my brethren!" One by one, the corpses rose, to listen to their master. "Kill everyone! Even the royals!" And, so the raid began. Screams lent throughout the castle as the guards battled to vampires. Bodies flew across the rooms, and for every soldier killed, and vampire was born. "Zelda, you wait here!" "No Link, I must go!" "Protect the children!" Link stormed out of the chamber, swinging his Giant's knife sword, killing everything in his path.
Razfile looked up to the upper balcony, and saw his prey. "Ah Link! So glad you made it!" Razfile flew up to the balcony, and bared his claws. For every attack Link bore down, Razfile vanished, then re appeared, only to swiftly knock at Link. "You not nearly as tough as you seem!" Just then, the flat of the blade struck Razfile in the face, and sent him careening down the stairs. Link went to follow, but didn't find Razfile. "You who." Razfile stuck his claws clean threw Link's shoulder blade, and resurfaced Just to the left of Link's heart.
"Aaaaaaaaaargh!" Razfile laughed maniacally, until he looked into the master bedroom. Dark Link was standing by the window, with an arrow notched. The arrow fired so fast, Razfile had no time to react. He was struck dead center in his heart. With a mighty pull, he released Link, and caught fire, then ran through the hall, glowing white.
Dark Link almost didn't have time to do anything. His first reaction was to grab the children and Zelda, but Zelda had run out to Link.
Dark Link held the boys, and leapt out window, the sonic boom propelling him through the sky. A huge explosion that tore up the castle promptly followed the sonic boom.
Dark Link hit the ground hard, and shielded the boys' eyes.
"Where's mommy and daddy?"
"They'll be aright, they'll be."
Dark Link bit his lip.
Inside the smoldering castle, Zelda was pinned to the floor by a support beam, and Link was right there, holding her upper body up. "Link, hold me." "I will never let go, My Princess." And they lay there, in eternal embrace, until death did they part.
~~~~~~~ Yue looked up to the smoke building in the east.
"Oh my god!"
Blaftite smiled and backed away. "Huh.Looks like Razfile did one up me. No matter, he is gone now." Yue looked pleadingly at him. "You didn't. Please tell me you didn't, oh gods." "I didn't.Dark Link did! And so he fulfilled his ORIGINAL mission, and he killed the hero of time. Blaftite vanished, leaving Yue, alone with her thoughts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The next day ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A cloaked man knocked on the door of Malon. Several minutes later, a very tearful Malon answered the door.
The man handed her two children. "Malon.I." Her face broke into tortured sorrow, and she kissed Dark Link very harshly, then tenderly, then she broke away. She then beat his chest. "Why! Why why why?!?" Dark Link stopped her. "I have to go." "Of course you do1 You killer! Damn you Dark Link!"
"I have dropped that name. I am now Artiome.Goodbye."
Artiome went away, forever cursed for an eternity of loneliness.
"And never come back! Traitor!"
Dark Link's frame slumped, and held his hands to his face as if they were some sort of dam that could hold back his emotions.
