Savroth sat in his high backed throne and waited for the scout to enter the
room. The thick black doors swung open slowly and in stepped a man with
tangled black hair and armor. A Sheath hung from his side and carried a
long sword. Under his right arm he cradled a helmet. Savroth glanced over
his the mans shoulders and saw six of his men flanked by four of the palace
guards. The man stood before Savroth and kneeled on one knee.
Savroth: Stand, Glishnock.
Glishnock: sire, we have ridden here from Mt. Helkiplier. We were attacked as you predicated.
Savroth: yes I know I was there myself and killed Link with my bare hands. The belrog and the rest of the army should be finishing off the Deku as we speak.
Glishnock: you what?
Savroth: didn't you hear? Link is dead; I killed him in his sleep.
Glishnock: I thought you killed Formar.
Savroth: what?
Glishnock: because, master, Link has destroyed the belrog.
Savroth leaped to his feet.
Savroth: that's in possible! I killed him myself.
Glishnock looked scared now.
Glishnock: did you stab him in the heart with a dagger?
Savroth: yes!
Glishnock: Formar was stabbed in the heart with a dagger. Link was witnessed by several destroying the belrog.
Savroth pulled out his sword, Leaped in front of the scout and with one quick swipe he cut Glishnock's head clean off. The other men watched in disgust as the head rolled around on the floor.
Savroth: CURSE YOU LINK!
The other men stepped back in fear.
Savroth: you!
He pointed with his sword at Glishnock's men.
Savroth: I want you to round up as many bounty hunters and assassins you can find. Tell then I am willing to pay any amount if they get the job done! And if I don't have at least ten bounty hunters standing before me by tomorrow it's all of your heads! Go now!
The men bowed quickly and scurried out of the room.
Savroth: He got lucky but I am not making any more mistakes. Still, the army I assembled should easily be enough to topple all of the trees in that forest one by one.
Savroth snatched up his staff that was leaning against his throne and walked through the massive doorway. He moved swiftly, His black robes gliding behind him. He walked past many guards on patrol and down several flights of steps. He was now in a dank and dark dungeon. The smell of must wafted to his nose as He walked through the disease filled dungeon. He opened a thick wooden door and stepped inside a dimly lit cell. In the corner sat Jamie with her face in her knees. She was dressed in dingy brown robes and her black hair hung in her face and was extremely untidy. She looked up as Savroth entered and got to her feet quickly. He threw her against the moldy brick wall and kicked her hard in the stomach. She fell to the ground in a curled up ball and cried. A Guard stepped inside the cell holding a large bowl of water and two slices of bread.
Guard: sorry, to interrupt sir. This is for her.
He laid the bowl in front of her and laid the bread on top of her and left swiftly. She picked up the bowl and drank two large gulps, splashing water all over herself.
Savroth: I thought I'd come to tell you that your friend Link is about to die.
Jamie looked up.
Jamie: you lie!
Savroth: I assure you im not. He is currently in a hopeless battle, your father to. Even if Link or your father make it out, alive, Im dispatching bounty hunters to make sure they die. But don't worry too much. You'll see them again. I'll make sure to put their cold, lifeless bodies in her to give you company. But you wont be down here that long anyway. The Shield Of The Sages is almost ready to use and when it is I'll have no more use for you. I'll try not to make your death to drawn out or painful. Then again its always fun to watch your enemy squirm.
He laughed and left the cell, slamming the door behind him.
Jamie: Link's gona find me! And when he does your gona wish you were never born you monster!
But even as she called after Savroth she could feel her hope deflating. She sat in the darkness and cried as she slowly chewed on the stale bread. But on the other side of the spectrum Savroth's fear was increasing. To kill a Belrog isn't easy. It takes a skilled warrior to do it. There are only a handful of people that have ever managed to do it. Savroth walked back up to the top of the palace. It had just been built and was still being built upon in some areas of it. Savroth went back into his throne room and sat, thinking. He thought first of how he would kill Link. Then he thought of what the world would be like once the shield of the sages was under his control. With its power HE could build the greatest empire that ever existed. It would be an empire where it wouldn't matter how big it got because Savroth would rule with an iron fist no matter what. He smiled as he thought of what his empire would look like. The doors opened again and in stepped two guards dragging a pathetic looking man.
Guard: We caught one of your soldiers trying to run away.
Savroth: good work. Well, if he doesn't want to be a soldier in my army, then lets see how he likes being a redead.
Man: no! Please not that!
Savroth: let this be a lesson to all who defy me!
He stood from where he sat and walked towards the man. The guards thrust him towards Savroth. Savroth put his hand on the man's head and he called out in pain. He collapsed to the floor.
Savroth: I'll bet he'll complete the metamorphoses cycle in two days at the most. Put him in Jamie's cell, but do not let him kill her yet. I think Jamie might like a cellmate.
He laughed as the guards dragged the man away.
Savroth: Im going to crush Link like a bug, but first im going to take care of his little brat!
Savroth: Stand, Glishnock.
Glishnock: sire, we have ridden here from Mt. Helkiplier. We were attacked as you predicated.
Savroth: yes I know I was there myself and killed Link with my bare hands. The belrog and the rest of the army should be finishing off the Deku as we speak.
