Zelda pulled out her saber that she used for pirating and ran at Wraith who nearly toppled back into the water at her appearence. She swiped at him as Link began to protest, but Wraith suddenly reached into his back and pulled out a sword of the same material that he was made of.
"Now see here!" Wraith complained. "Will you just-I-you-GGGGAAAA!" Wraith suddenly shot out his hand muttered something and the sword was enveloped in smoke before it shot out of Zelda's hands. "Now, that you are disarmed, will you please listen to Link?"
"Zelda, before you went attacking Wraith, I wanted to tell you that he's joining us." Link explained. Zelda was floored.
"Wh-what? But he's got to be a creation of Gannondorf! A monster!" She yelled.
"A MONSTER?! I'LL ----ING TELL YOU ABOUT MONSTERS!" Wraith yelled, his eyes chaning from a yellow glow to a blood red glow. "YOU DAMMED PEOPLE WHO KEEP JUDGING ME BY MY APPEARENCE! YOU WANT A ----ING MONSTER? LOOKIN IN THE DAMMED MIRROR!" Wraiths shadowy chest fell up and down in rage. He then turned to Link. "Sorry for yelling at your friends, but I'm sick of people calling me a monster. I'm just a person created by an accedent. I did not choose this form. If you will excuse me...I need to go cool off. I don't know what I'll do if I get angry enough."
WIth a glare towards Zelda, Link awnsered "That's quite alright. It wasn't her place to say that in the first place." Link got out of the boat and Wraith sat there, staring forlornely at the water. Despite her short comings about Wraith, Zelda suddenly felt sad for Wraith. She shook it off. She wouldn't trust anything asscociated with Darkness...but the irony of her best friend would soon come to light...
"Zelda. With me." Link replied. Zelda wasn't the type to take such things from anyone, but Link's cutting voice caused her to involintarily hang her head in shame and follow him to the top of the island. When they got there, Link turned to her. His face was a little softer but he was still obviously angry.
"Before you go off on grudge against Wraith, I want you to listen to this. During the beggining of Gannon's time, someone else besides me tried to stop him. His name was Raven. He was a demon hunter, but in the end he was killed by Gannon. In a sick twist of fate, when Gannon used a dark spell, Raven used a holy one. In the resulting blast, Gannon was weakened a little, but Raven was dead. His shadow was suddenly ripped from his body and it created Wraith. Gannon tried to control Wraith, but he resisted. Wraith has emotions, feelings, he can bleed and he is like a person in every respect execpt for appearence. I understand your suspision in fact I agree with you if you are a little suspicious, but just in case, I want you treat him like a person, understand?"
Zelda sighed. She didn't like it, but she nodded. "Right. Sorry. I'm just a little...I dont know. Paranoid I guess."
"A little paranoia is a good thing Zelda. Now come on. Oh, and sorry for getting angry with you." Link gave her a quick hug and began to walk down the path. Zelda felt ashamed of herself. She followed close behind and felt another pang of guilt when she saw the shadow man leaning over the boat's edge, with the appearence he was crying...Zelda stopped. Crying? She walked down to the boat. "I-I-I'm sorry...I'm just alittle paranoid about Gannon..."
Wraith jumped in surprise and he replied "Did you...I mean...I was just..."
Zelda laughed. "Sometimes we have to drop the facade once and a while." She was referring to Wraith's crying. Wraith held out his hand.
"Apologies accepted. I understand your suspicions. I mean, Gannon dabbled in Dark magic, so it is kind of a give in." They shook hands and nodded to each other. From out of the Cabana came Nohansen and Komali. "Hello." greeted Wraith.
"Komali, Nohansen, this is Wraith. Wraith, this is Komali, son of the Rito Chieften and this is the king-"
"Your majesty..." Wraith breathed, dropping to one knee. "I always thought that it was a legend that the king of the ancient land of Hyrule was still alive, but never in my entire life did I expect to meet him. It is an honor to meet you."
Nohansen laughed merrily. "Oh, I'm alive and kicking. Get up sir, for I am no longer a king, but a friend of Links. Now he told me you have expertise on many ancient lands."
"Yes sir, I do, would you like to hear of some?"
The old man smiled. "That would be grand." He and Wraith walked over near the pool and began to discuss history, while Komali turned to Link.
"Is this guy to be trusted?" Komali asked Link.
"Only time will tell my good friend. Only time will tell..."
