I'm back! And quicker than expected. Although… I haven't gotten around to all of my responsibilities yet. Meh, I have for you the next installment of this… er… collection of one-shots!
Character- Din
Setting- This entry has no specific location as it is solely composed of thoughts. However, it takes place at the moment of Ganondorf's birth. (Whenever that is) Din is taken over by the potential this young boy has with her gift… So overcome that she fails to realize her sisters warnings.
.
One Foot Forward
.
My previous Accomplist has passed away.
And once again…
He accomplished nothing.
.
Why must I bother to bestow such gifts,
When they are wasted?
.
This one became a carpenter.
True… he could lift objects that not everyone could.
True… he was an idol among young men.
But my Gift…
My Power was wasted.
.
The one before this…
He was a blacksmith.
True… he created the finest swords.
True… Every solider who held a blade of his was envied.
But it was wasted!
.
The one before that…
He was leader of a thieves guild.
True… he led them to success.
True… his name was known throughout his land.
But it was wasted!
.
Nayru and Farore do not understand.
They believe failures like this…
Are successes.
Every time I go to them with my complaints.
They always repeat the same;
"But look what they did for those around them, Din, they were great men."
.
They fail to see that their choices were failures also.
Little girls who give their lives to save a brother,
An elder who instructed and told stories to children.
Can't they see that our Gifts are wasted?
.
For hundreds,
Nay, thousands of years…
I have been held back.
Every time that I must choose…
A select few are barred off.
Because "They are too strong with our Gifts".
.
With the Gift of Power in my Strongest Accomplist,
He could accomplish anything.
He could become a god himself should he desire.
… Yet we deny them that privilege.
Can no one else see that we are denying greatness?
.
So…
Every time it comes to choose…
I am given weak candidates.
Doomed for failure.
.
We have never crossed the line…
Never chosen our Strongest.
We do not know what will happen.
I believe that Nayru and Farore are scared.
They fear what might happen…
They fear success.
And greatness.
.
But I do not.
I do have fear…
Fear of failure.
.
I grow weary of failure.
No longer will I accept it.
I am the Goddess of Power.
And I will not let this insult to my strength proceed.
.
I will choose my Strongest.
He will be given my gift.
.
The young boy Ganondorf…
That is he who will hold it.
He shall be my Accomplist.
.
I am able to see the child…
See him in my mind.
A small, tiny creature now…
Even now, at his infancy…
I see his flaming red hair,
His yellow eyes,
His dark tanned skin.
Even now…
He is a beautiful child.
.
He is a Gerudo.
A Gerudo male.
His path is paved with greatness!
He was born to be a King!
No wonder he is so strong with my gift…
Even before I bestow it, he is strong with it.
Think of what he can accomplish!
.
Farore…
She speaks of using Ganondorf.
But the Gift of Courage would be an insult to him.
Can she not see that?
He would be doomed to fail.
.
He will not fail.
I will not let him.
.
I reach out to him.
I bless him.
I grant him my Gift.
.
Immediately,
Our ties are connected.
I can feel everything of him.
I am part of him.
… He is as good as my son now.
My entity flows through him.
.
I feel now that I've done the best thing in the world.
Never before has my choice felt so…
Right.
This was meant to be…
I can feel every ounce of Power in him.
He is so strong.
.
I know he will be powerful.
I know he will be great.
.
I will show my sisters.
I will show them the infinite boundaries of my Gift.
Show them our potential…
My potential.
.
No more failure.
The Gift of Power will radiate throughout this land.
I will show my sisters…
How right I am.
.
Ba ba ba! And with that decision, she sentenced Hyrule to pain and torture. Ah… how power corrupts the mind.
Well… that's all for now folks. Tomorrow I shall bestow upon you all the Gift of Chapter 37.
Holy Moly! 37? What HAVE I been so caught up in writing. 37 frickin' chapters! And there's more coming! I estimate this story 'll be around 45- 50 chappies in total. Judging by the requests and stories I have lined up. Let me see. (Checks list… Yes, I actually have a list now… I'm such a nerd.) Yes, it SHOULD be 45. But that's only if no more requests are given to me AND if I don't come up with anything else AND if the three final entries (Labeled; 1. Power, 2. Wisdom and finally 3. Courage) last only one entry. Because they probably won't… because they will be LONG. (Or hopefully) I might be able to do 'Power' in one entry. But the other two… there might be a part 2… or even part 3. Oh well… as long as they're good, right?
Send me a review and I will be most pleased. OR EVEN… a request! Then this story may just exceed 50 chapters! Isn't that amazing?
More later! Have fun 'till tomorrow!
