In The Minds Of Heros
Chapter One: Return Of The King
Ganondorf is coming soon...but how do I know when? Malon, Kaiten, Sylvana and I have been walking towards the castle in a small carrage that sheltered used from the rain. Our horse's lead the way with-out us even guiding them. Thats a smart bunch of horse's wouldn't you say?
Zeldas wedding is tomorrow...what will she do when she finds Ganondorf is returning? Malon moved beside me and cuddled close." It's cold..." She whispered, pulling her rain coat over her. It was cold. Cold enough to make me shiver and cuddle warm next to some one.
""Link of course since it's night time the castle drawbridge will be closed." Sylvana said to me, with Navi sitting on her shoulder.
Navis light went brighter and she also got under Sylvanas jacket to keep warm." Link...the drawbridge was up the day Zelda was exiled." She said in her tiny voice.
"I know." I said bluntly." I just hope this day doesn't repeat the past to the point where I have to do everything again..."
The horse's stopped suddenly, with a big jult of force knocking us off balance. Kaiten and I looked out the front cover, noticing a black hooded figure standing in our way to Kakariko village. Sylvana put her hands close to the her scimitars and dagger.
I jumped out to ask the stranger if he would move or not, pulling my thick dark cloak over my head. The starnger just stood there, making me catch the glint of dark red in his eyes. They were blood shot and showed no pupil, only the red. I walked in front of the carrage through the pouring down rain and looked at the stranger." Is there a problem with us wanting to pass?" I asked, keeping my eye on the persons red eyes.
The figure didn't move not one inch and this made me frustrated, having to stand out in the rain. Lightning ran across the sky again, showing a breif part of the mans face and it looked some- what familiar, as if I fought this being before.
"I'll ask you one more time or I will be forced to thrash you." He still didn't move and this made me very mad." Very well then..." I pulled out my sword and held it with two hands, the triforce in my hand resenating with a stron yellow glow. The man also pulled out his sword that had a black hilt and black sheath, and it looked the exact same as my Master Sword!
We circled each other for a second, trying to find a right time to attack. The creature made his attack first, coming in with a vertical swing headed straight for me head. It was so fast I hardly noticed it! Quickly I ducked to the side, keeping special care not to slip in the mud. This creature had very good agility and could rbound even in conditions like this. All I had time to do was block.
We ended in a draw, both of our blades clashed together in a death lock. Suddenly the dark one broke it, knocking me on my back. I saw as he jumped up into the air and sent his sword flying at my abdomen, but he hit nothing but mud. I rolled to the side, quickly jumping up and attacking back, but I found that he wasn't there anymore!" Where did you go you bastard!" I yelled, getting very mad at this fight.
From behind me as if out of nowhere the figure jumped, and just in time I turned to see a fist delivered right to my hand. The force was strong and it knocked me back a couple of feet. I regained my stance and stopped to look at the dark figure. Although i was panting slightly he wasn't...he must have some powerful endurance.
" Well you must have been trained well...what for I don't know, but someone like you will not stand in my way." I charged in with my sword to the side. The dark one waited until I swung my sword, quickly back flipping and countering with his own sword. As his blade impacted with my upper arm i got a glimpse of his face...it sort of...looked like..." Me?"
My arm was bleeding badly, but the shock of seeing this person face was terrifying. The creature pulled off his hood and I examined him...looks like i was right. He was me, with dark blonde hair and dark purple eyes. His tunic was even black and sword was basically a reincarnation of my Master Sword.
"Link who is this guy?" i heard a voice from behind me, quickly glancing to see Kaiten in the doorway of the carrage.
"Kaiten quickly, get back in side!" I yelled, keeping a close eye on my dark self.
I don't know when it happend or how, but when I turned to look at the dark version of me he wasn't there! Soon I found him, back behind me choking Kaiten his feet off the ground." No!" I yelled." You will not have his life!" Quickly I charged in but was interupted by three arrows going through Dark Links chest.
The creature fell back, dropping Kaiten on the ground and looking at the arrows that clung to his chest. And out of all that, he still laughed, smiling with an evil grin flaming my face. I'v seen him somewhere before...He jumped back and sheathed his sword confusing me for a moment." Link I'm surprised you don't remember your own flesh and blood."
I was taken back on this, helping Kaiten to his feet. Dark Link laughed even more with a cackle that sounded like it echoed all through-out Hyrule. He stopped laughing to finish what he was saying." You remember...how I massacered a whole village in search of you. How I even went after your little girlfriend Malon to bring you out." I frowned...oh yeah I knew what he was.
Kaiten stared at me with his sword out and ready. The rained stopped a little and light began to come up over the horizon, sending another bolt of lightning across the sky." Yes I know who you are..." I put my blade in front of my head and held it up true." You are my shadow. But not me...I would never do anything as evil as you..." Dark Link put his hands up in defeat, with his red eyes glowing even more.
" Sorry brother, but I must consult with you later...I have important business else. Meanwhile my master is returning, you might want to look into that..." His voice began echoeing as his body grew transparent." Tootles..." And just like that he was gone.
Kaiten put his sword away and took a glance at me, quickly getting back into the carrage." Link lets hurry, he'll be here soon and I'm sure you wouldn't want to miss his arrival." He was talking about Ganondorf. I nodded, seeing as theres nothing I could do but at least try to stop him.
The sun finally came up over the hilltops in the distance and a red light shined from the place in Hyrule Castletown know as the temple of time. It glowed an angry red, then shortly afterwards I could hear Ganon's voice laughing harshly. Then...the castletown started to burn right when the drawbridge was let down." He's here..." I moaned, looking back at Navi', Malon, and Sylvana peeking their heads out of the carrage.
Sorry that one was kinda short, the next one will be even longer I promise you! Keep reading on to find out what happens next on " In The Minds Of Hero's!" You wouldn't wanna miss it!
