Well, finally, after a long wait, I'm opening the requests back up. So if you have any you saved up, or any that have come to mind… review and tell me and I'll get them posted. I'll do my best to put them all up. However, again… stick to OoT only please. (And if anyone else asks for a POV of Ganondorf when he's beaten by Link, I'll scream. Lol.)
Alrightly then… let's get this show on the road. I hope you like this one guys. I don't know how long it'll be yet… but I have a feeling that it'll be short.
Character- Dark Link
Setting- After battling his 'original' self, Dark Link finds himself thinking about what his life is about as he is only a double, copy and dopleganger. (This story kinda reminds me of the same situation between Sonic and Shadow AND even Mew and Mewtwo… Yeah, I used to watch Pokemon back in the day, who didn't? And Sonic the Hedgehog is my idol. Lol… or used to be anyway. I watched his show every weekday at seven am! This part doesn't seem linked to the setting so I'll shut up now.)
.
Accepting All of Myself.
.
I lean against the cold brick wall.
I don't know exactly where I am…
Somewhere in Kakariko… I know that much.
I've traveled quite a ways though.
.
Ever since…
Ever since that battle…
I've not felt right.
Incomplete…
That's what most might call it.
.
I've always known, since the time I was created…
That I was just a duplicate.
But somehow…
Seeing my…
Well… myself, I guess…
But seeing the 'real' Link…
Seeing him on his own…
As a full person…
It…
.
It hurts now.
I've never noticed it before.
But now I feel the gaping hole…
The hole of reality.
.
What am I here for?
I used to think it was to kill him.
My whole existence was bent on it.
But I failed.
And if I should try again…
I would fall once more.
It is true that I was built stronger, faster…
But that matters nothing…
Nothing compared to life.
.
But I…
I have a life.
Don't I?
I am living.
I breathe.
I think.
I have a life.
.
Even if my body is not my own…
My mind is.
I do not share his thoughts…
I have my own.
.
Does that make me real?
.
The bricks begin to dig into my back.
I push off the wall.
I walk down the dark, moonlit path.
No one is out tonight.
… Except me.
.
I look down to my hand.
It is my hand…
Not his.
And…
And… Ganondorf may have helped create me…
But he did not give me life.
Link did.
And I will always be tied to him.
.
Maybe that is why I cannot feel whole…
Because I will constantly be connected to someone else.
Never by myself…
Not really.
.
But…
But he does.
He lives his life…
And I am forced into these shadows.
I may only be a copy…
A 'half' person…
But my life is no less than anything else's.
And I have to choose how to live it.
.
I must forget what I have spawned from.
I am not him.
Nor is he me.
In no other way but appearance and blood are we connected.
I may be his clone…
And he, my mold.
But I am not him.
.
I sit down on a low wooden fence.
Cuccos sleep soundly inside it.
I sigh.
.
My life is my own.
Ganondorf cannot instruct me…
Link cannot instruct me…
My life is my own!
.
I have to pull away from these shadows and lies that bind me.
For now I understand…
I am not who I am born to be…
But who I choose to be.
And I choose to be myself…
An individual.
I must accept all of myself.
.
I am not a Hero.
I am not a weapon or machine.
I may be a killer… a murderer…
But that is me…
And I accept that.
.
I will no longer follow Ganondorf's guidelines.
I have no need for them.
I will no longer work for him.
I am my own leader.
.
Now…
Now that I have fought Link…
I am solid.
I am no longer a shadow.
Slowly… realization filled me that day.
I know now that since that time…
I have been whole.
He made realize that I am whole…
In a way.
…And when I fell away into my shadows to escape…
I understood that I did not want to be a shadow anymore.
I forced myself to become the solid form that I became when fighting Link.
I became a Hylian.
.
I brush my black hair back into my hat.
Disgust fills me.
I rip off that hat.
It is not mine…
Not really…
It represents him.
I throw the piece of cloth to the grassy floor.
I feel that I have taken some kind of step away from him.
.
That's it…
Tomorrow… I will go and find new clothes.
I will pay for them with money…
Instead of threatening with death.
They will be clothes that I alone shall choose.
They will be mine.
.
I glance down into the cucco's water container.
I see my reflection…
My reflection.
I savour these words.
.
The still water provides a perfect mirror.
My black hair now hangs down freely without the hat.
My red eyes look back at me, shining slightly in the moonlight.
I smile.
I may look just like him.
But I am me.
And I accept that.
I accept all of myself.
.
Well, that wasn't too long at all… but I think it was pretty good. I actually really enjoyed writing this. It was good fun.
What do you guys think? Review and tell me please!
Remember, REQUESTS are now on the go again, so if you have any feel free to let me know.
I think I got down what Dark Link would be thinking. What do you think? It was hard for me to get this down a way I liked it because Dark Link isn't a very large character in the game and this event didn't take place. (well, it might have… but we didn't see any images or dialogue in the game.) But I did try.
I'll be updating soon with another entry of my own imagination, further characterizing Link's 'up and down' moods. Until next time! Bye for now!
