Unending Strings
The battle has come
Zelda has revealed herself
And Link has been invited
There will be a bitter victory
All is black
And cruel is fair
But what else is there?
What if life is worse than death?
What if the Weaver has been attacked?
What if her eyes bear such sadness
Of the likes that we cannot comprehend
What if Link cannot win?
How can you defeat the spider
If you are the wasp?
Random acts of mindlessness
No aid for the hero
Strings and blades will bleed
Blood will run
The end is upon you
When will you rage?
(A/N: I know that the reality is in italics, but to avoid confusion, it will be normal for now...)

Unending Strings
"A Dance Between A Spider And A Wasp..."
Link ran up the seemingly endless stairs of Ganondorf's tower. A fleeting pain in his lower back was ebbing away to his rage. The more he thought of the impending battle, the faster he ran. How he wanted to sever Ganondorf's head with one sweep of the Master Sword. He wanted revenge for everyone that the Evil King had hurt, Weaver included. He had fire dancing in his eye, and an aura of near bloodlust radiating from him.
There was a door at the top of the stairs. Link stopped, pausing to let his muscles rest. There was not much use of strength if you're too tired to use it. Twenty minutes passed before Link drew his sword and held his shield ready. Beyond this door was the battle of a century. And he was one of the players.
This was an accident, not the kind were sorrow sounds,
Link pushed the heavy wooden doors open, eyes dark and full of malice. Ganondorf was playing a haunting and somewhat vile tune on a grand pipe organ on the other side of the room. Zelda remained encased in the pink crystal that was suspended in the air beside it. Link did not see the Weaver anywhere, but that did not mean that she wasn't around. The wooden doors closed behind him with no sound at all. Ganondorf turned from the organ and grinned.
Never even noticed we're suddenly crumbling.
"And the hero emerges. Have you come to rescue the princess or the Weaver?" He asked.
"Both if possible." Link said, slowly stepping forwards.
"That will be difficult, since you will only fight me if you can kill her."
Ganondorf snapped his fingers and dispelled the organ. He stepped back as she appeared between the two. She seemed thinner, but Link could tell that she had been abused recently. Blood coated her pants, some was dried and old, yet some was fresh. She reached her hands out and strings came from them, stretching and then Link lost sight of them.
Tell me how you've
never, felt delicate or innocent,
Do you still have doubts that us
having faith makes any sense.
"I knew this would come one day." Link said, readying himself.
"Just be ready." Weaver said coldly.
Tell me nothing ever comes rationale or breaking down.
Weaver's fingers moved, and strings became visible all around the room. They were like vile, black tightropes restricting movement unless you were an acrobat. Link jumped to miss them, but Weaver flicked her fingers and one solitary string pierced his calf between his two bones. There were small spurts of blood as Link stumbled and then tried to pull himself free.
Still somebody loses cause theirs no way to turn around,
Weaver was standing on the opposing end of the string that was pinning Link to the floor. She twitched her fingers and two knives appeared in her hands. Faster that expected, she ran down the string with defined balance.
Staring at your
photograph everything now in the past
Never felt so lonely I wish
that you could show me love.
Link raised his shield just as she was about to sever his head. With his limited mobility, he slashed at her, missing, and cutting the string. Weaver jumped to another string and waited. Link jumped to his feet, ignoring the pain that he felt. Weaver leapt at him, her knives meeting his shield and sword.
Show me love, show
me love, show me love, show me love,
Show me love, till you open
the door.
There was an almost deafening silence as their weapons were forced from them. They flew across the room and were snatched up by the strings. Weaver just sighed.
"I guess we'll have to fight this without weapons." She said.
"That's okay with me." Link replied.
Show me love, show
me love, show me love,
Show me love, show me love, till I'm up
off the floor.
Weaver jumped to a string and waited for Link to make some sort of move. With an equal amount of cat-like grace, Link hopped onto the string. It took him a moment to balance himself, but Weaver was upon him shortly. Her hands were continually moving strings, while her legs and her kicks were a formidable force within themselves.
Show me love, show
me love, show me love, show me love,
Show me love, till it's
inside my pores.
Link struck back. His fist connected with Weaver's cheek. She back flipped, her foot catching Link's jaw. Her staggered, losing his balance before falling. But Weaver wouldn't let him off that easily. Strings wrapped themselves around his wrist and jerked him back up.
Show me love, show
me love, show me love,
Show me love, show me love, till I'm
screaming for more.
"I can't have you die yet. I haven't seen you defeated properly." Weaver said.
"Tears of blood in my eyes and all that...right?" Link asked, landing on the string again.
"Exactly."
Random acts of mindlessness, common place occurrences,
Weaver attacked first this time. She ran along the tightrope before balancing her hands on the wire and kicking at Link. Link grabbed her ankles and forced her onto the wire below. She grumbled a bit before rising back up to meet him. He punched at her. Weaver dodged by swinging her foot around and kicking him in the shoulder.
Chances of surprises, another state of consciousness
"Link!" Zelda cried in alarm. Ganondorf laughed to himself.
"It is like a spider dancing with a wasp." He said as Link jumped onto another string to avoid being kicked again.
"What are you saying?" Zelda asked.
Tell me nothing ever comes rationale or breaking down
"The spider is nimble and quick. It knows its strengths and weaknesses, and uses them to its advantage. The wasp is raw power. One powerful sting may kill the spider..."
Still somebody loses cause theirs no way to turn around,
Weaver dropped to another string after taking a blow to the chest. She grinned slightly. She now had a plan.
"But once the wasp stumbles, the spider will strike."
At that moment, Link jumped down to strike the Weaver again. She shifted her fingers and the strings moved. In the confusion of the wires moving to ensnare Link's arms and legs, the Weaver rose and planted one solid kick directly below his ribcage. All the breath was forced from Link's lungs and his world went dark for a moment.
His eyes opened a moment later. He was suspended from strings above the floor. He tried to move his arms and legs but that proved to be useless. It was just like when the Weaver had captured him in his dreams. She stood before him...
Tell me how you've never felt,
She looked so...
Delicate or innocent
...sad...
Do you still have doubts that us having faith makes any sense
"What are you waiting for Weaver? Kill him." Ganondorf shouted.
Weaver looked at Link before looking back at Ganondorf. She shook her head and her eyes darkened.
"I won't kill someone who has restored my hope in one day weaving destiny." She said coldly.
You play games I play tricks
Ganondorf walked over to them, aura radiating a playful malice. He towered over Weaver. She took a few steps back, afraid.
"I'll tell you once more. Kill him."
"No."
Girls and girls but you're the one
The back of Ganondorf's metal gauntlet connected with the Weaver's head. She was sent flying across the room. She hit the wall and landed on the floor with a dull thud. She tried to push herself up, but one blast of energy from the King of Evil struck her unconscious.
Like a game of pick up sticks played by fucking lunatics
"Weaver!" Link shouted.
Ganondorf turned Link to look at him. The madman grinned. Link glared.
"Are we getting soft?"
Show me love, show
me love, show me love, show me love,
Show me love, till you open
the door.
Ganondorf grabbed a handful of Link's blonde bangs, jerking his captive's head from side to side. Zelda screamed in protest. Ganondorf just laughed before forcing Link to look at him. Link's mind spun for a moment before a slap in the face restored this cruel reality. Ganondorf released his hold on the fairy boy and appeared to be deep in thought.
Show me love, show
me love, show me love,
Show me love, show me love, till I'm up
off the floor.
"Why kill you both now? I'll have so much more fun with more." He muttered.
Show me love, show
me love, show me love, show me love,
Show me love, till it's
inside my pores.
Link found himself sitting in a dungeon with an iron shackle around his neck. The shackle was in turn chained to the wall. His hands were shackled together. He had been stripped of his weapons and any other useful item. Zelda was not too far away, one arm chained to the wall. The Weaver was in worse shape. She sat within arm's reach, inside a cage one would find for a dog.
Show me love, show
me love, show me love,
Show me love, show me love, till I'm
screaming for more.
Ganondorf walked into the room, black whip in hand. He had the look of a maniac on his face. He looked at Link, and then at the Weaver. He ordered her to stick her hands between the bars, which to everyone's surprise, she did. He then turned to Link.
Show me love, show me love, give me all that I want.
"Break her fingers." He said.
Show me love, show me love, give me all that I want.
When Link tried to protest, the whip hit him twice. He tried to stand firm, but both ends of the whip connected with his body.
Show me love, show me love, give me all that I want.
Weaver screamed and tears flowed from Link's eyes. There were mortifying sounds as her fingers broke like twigs.
Show me love, show me love, till I'm screaming for more
Somewhere...deep inside...Link felt like a murderer...
