Hey guys thank you all very much for the reviews, although there was only four of them it was more than I've ever recieved before so I'm pretty stoked. I'm also sorry to announce if I take a very long time in posting and writing chapters its because I've just started year 12 my senior year the big HSC exams and the parentals don't let me on the computer as often, so bare with me.

Chapter 2: Darkness Awakens

Ganondorf yawned as he stretched out on his bed, to his right Nabooru lay asleep tangled in the covers. He smirked as he got up remembering the night before, yet his sweet memories were darkened by a feeling inside which made him remember a dream he had. It made no sense; in his dream he had been bowing before an alter with two entities circling around him, on his right bicep was a tattoo of two wolves, one red one blue, wrapping around eachother until they formed one being, the howling wolf's head on his upper shoulder. Cringing at the thought Ganondorf snapped out of his trance and quickly got dressed; he wondered if he should wait for Nabooru, but knowing she probably wouldn't mind he set off to the stables at a run.

"Good morning Luthien." He petted the steed's coat as it whinnied. "No I'm not that hung over thank you very much!" He mounted and started his morning ride. It had become a custom to take Luthien out early, he usually let him graze at Lake Hylia. They arrived quickly at the entrance and noticed a metal fence had been arrected; upon closer expection Ganondorf snarled. He read the sign out loud to Luthien but mainly to himself.

"No Tresspassers!! Any Gerudo seen within these borders will be persecuted." The Gerudo male now clenched his fists as anger began to rise in him. "Blast that King! I will have him for this!" Smirking Ganondorf led Luthien into the grounds the horse complaining the whole way.

"Oh will you shut up, no one will find us. I just need to freshen up thats all." He said as they trod onto the Hylian soil.

Nabooru opened her eyes; the view of Ganondorf's room filled her vision, smiling she rolled over to find an empty bed. Sitting upright almost imediatly her mind began to scan for reasons why he wasn't there.

"That bastard! How could he leave without me? I thought I meant something to him." She whispered as she raised to get dressed. finishing up by placing her headpiece she headed out into the drying fields. The heat began to dance on her body as she watched the burining sun ripple the ground before her very eyes.

"Hey Taruu," She ran over to the young Gerudo female, "Have you seen Ganondorf?" Taruu nodded and pointed in the direction the new King had headed; bowing low Nabooru ran to the edge of their borders. Her eyes scanned the lush green fields of hyrule; curling her fists she watched aa figure approach on horse back, frowning she placed her hands on her hips and tapped her foot in an annoyed manner as the rider came into perfect view.

"Where have you been?" She asked anger evident in her tone yet Ganondorf didn't seem to notice.

"Uh... I was at the lake."

"Didn't last night mean anything to you?"

"Well... yeah of course it did." The Gerudo male stammered.

"Why did you leave so early then?"

"I thought you wouldn't care, why should I lay restless in bed waiting for you to stir?"

"Because, thats how it is." She turned her head away in discust.

"We're not married yet Boo, and until we are, I'll do things my way."

"For someone who's lived with women their whole life, you seem to know nothing about them!" Ganondorf opened his mouth to respond but stopped, adbruptly shutting it again. He turned Luthien around his back now to Nabooru as he looked onto the open fields. Two figures were approaching both on horse back.

"Excuse me, but are you Lord Ganon?" One spoke up once they were close enough. They were both Hylian Guards clad in silver armor that glistened in the morning light, the metal looked hot and extremely heavy.

"Yeah but its Ganondorf," he gazed at them raising a eye brow in discust, "What brings you?" He asked cooly but motioning Nabooru to stay behind him out of the guards' sight; watching Ganondorf saw the Guard draw a scroll from his armor as he began to read out loud.

"Lord Ganondorf, you have been charged with tresspassing on the King's property of Lake Hylia. You are to be punished and brought to the Kingdom's gaol until a proper punishment is decided." Gasping Nabooru stepped back as the two Hylians approached Ganondorf who took off at a gallop, stretching out her arm Nabooru caught the Gerudo male's and was hauled onto the back of Luthien.

"Seize him!" They screamed.

"Hurry Luthien, to the bridge." Ganondorf kicked the black steed's sides causeing him to gallop faster over the thin log, the rickety swaying bridge and through the entrance of the Gerudo Valley.

"Kill them!" He screamed to the two females on guard as he passed, before entering the safety of the Fort.

"Are you crazy Gan!?" Nabooru yelled as she hopped off the horse.

"What?"

"You're going to let them kill those Guards?"

"They would of killed us other wise Boo." He sighed, "It's survival of the fitest out here..." He trailed off before walking away from her.

"Where are you going?"

"To the Library." He yalled back to her but to himself he said. "I have some revenge to plot." Smirking he left Nabooru's sight.

The Library was large and very untidy thanks to the new habitant; books were thrown on the floor, scrolls and tablets littered the desks, as the young Ganondorf continued to look through each scroll which was tied with assorted ribbons mumbling to himself.

"Lets see, red is healing, yellow is history, white is legends and here we are, black is magic." Sitting down and clearing the table of its messby pushing it to the floor he spread the scroll out infront of him and began reading silently to himself. The scroll read: 'He who seeks power must first see power. To achieve this goal, deep in the desert dwells those who give it. The Spirit Temple.' Ganondorf read the scroll over and over again; before rumaging through the scrolls again, one caught his eye but after picking it up and seeing the red ribbon he tossed it aside. Clutching onto another the ribbon white he unfolded it; he began to read the scroll, it told him of a great entity that lived in the Temple... Twin Rova. Rising from his place at the table Ganondorf headed down to the stables ignoring the bows and salutes he recieved from most Gerudo; saddling up Luthien he looked at a figure lying in the hay, he bent down and sat next to her.

"What are you doing here?" He asked as his hand reached the girl's chin and lifted it to face him, it was Nabooru.

"I.. I.. just want to you know... apologise." Ganondorf burst out laughing, his bellows deep and from his throat.

"I should be apologising, I was a real asshole and I didn't even notice it." He stroked her cheek with his hand before leaning in to kiss her, it slowly became deeper until Nabooru cut it off as she looked up at the saddled Luthien.

"You going somewhere?"

"Yes, the Spirit Temple," He paused as he saw her golden eyes brighten, "Alone."

"But why?"

"I'm not proud of what I'm planning to do Boo, but I have to for my people and this land. I plan to head to the Spirit Temple and I doubt that I won't be back for a long time. You will always be here right, for me?"

"Yes." She replied, he smirked as he swooped her up in his strong arms and began to carry her towards his room in the Fortress. Ganondorf slumped onto his bead, Nabooru laying down next to him. Silence fell through the Fortress except for the occasional foul wind that would sweep through the window, howling like a wolf. Nabooru rolled over onto her side and smiled as she saw Ganondorf deep in thought.

"Watch you thinking about Gan?"

"The wind..." Nabooru looked confused at his answer.

"What?!"

"Think about it Boo... the wind; the harsh dry wind that scornes our land by day, followed by the chilling gale that rakes our land by night." He sighed his breath full of sorrow before he began again. "This wind; no matter when it comes, it only breathes the same thing... death." Nabooru didn't know how to respond, she sat there silent waiting for the words to come yet they never passed her lips. Ganondorf started again.

"That's why going to the Temple is part of my plan. Lately Boo, I've been drawn to it, I don't know why I just wish for the power I need to help my people, and I believe that there's something in that temple that can help me."

"You really care about this don't you?"

"Yes, I really do care about you." Smirking he rolled over and began to cuddle her, tickling her as he kissed her neck. Nabooru fidgeted and began to giggle as she tried to push his muscular body off her. Gently kissing her cheek he began to undress her, slowly pulling her garments away from her tanned body and slipping her supple frame under the covers before he undressed and joined her.

The sun peeked it's firey fingers in through the stone window of the fortress and carressed the young Gerudo male's face with her warmth; stirring Ganondorf shifted in his sleep and slowly opened his amber eyes, leaning over he kissed Nabooru on her forehead before getting up and dressed. His eyes looked back at her as he exited the room mumbling two words.

"Goodbye Nabooru." Ganondorf rode through the harsh sinking sands of the desert; Luthien was lagging the horse becoming tired from his heavy hooves sticking into the sand making him sluggish, whisping sand picked up from the wind stung their faces leaving grit and cuts as they rode on. Gratefully by late morning they had reached the Desert Colossus; the harsh wind had died and the Spirit Temple stood tall before the young King and his steed, approaching the door Ganondorf dismounted and disdainfully entered the structure. Darkness enveloped him as he walked down the distant corridors, somehow he knew where to go even though he had never been past the first room before in his life, Ganondorf seemed to know exactly where he wanted to go. He ran his gauntlet hand over the bricks of the wall until before him the hall opened up into a huge room, collums holding up the roof wich layed hundreds of meters above his head. Centered in the middle of the room was an alter, slowly walking towards it Ganondorf snorted with laughter.

"Well this dump looks familiar... must say it was more flashier in my dreams." He began to laugh his bellows interupted by loud cackling laughter coming from somewhere in the room, Ganondorf turned to look around surprise and fright showing in his eyes yet his face stayed stern.

"Well well well Koume, this little mortal maggot is mocking our domain." A witch flew out from behind a column another one joining her from the other side of the room, both of them were hideous yet Ganondorf sensed that there was something about them, could these be the people he was looking for?

"Yes Kotake and he comes to us for help."

"Help, from you?! I don't think so, I'm looking for a much greater entity." Ganondorf scoffed and turned to exit the room only to find the two witches encircling him smirks planted on their ugle faces.

"Oh and who might that be?" Kotake grinned at her sister winking.

"Twin Rova." The King stated dumbly as he watched the two witches roar with laughter as the flew to the alter in the middle of the room.

"Shall we show him Kotake?"

"We shall Koume." Together the two witches one the element of ice the other fire were entwined as one and with a bright flash they appeared as a giant entity smirking down at the surprised Ganondorf.

"It is I that you search for young one." She said her voice sounding seductive but with the horrible echo of the two old hags poisoning each word with their harsh cackling voices. The Gerudo male gulped and kneeled down on one knee, bowing his head.

"Forgive me your greatness, I only wish to learn the power the old legends speak of." Twin Rova listened to the now brave man bowing before their alter and smirked.

"Excellent, he is the one." She whispered to herself before cackling with meriful laughter.
