Saving Darkness
Disclaimer: I don't own Zelda. But I do own: Lunard, Shara, Karina, Aaron, Melora, Saori, Relin, Adia, and everyone else. Yeah, in your faces! j/k
Now is the time to update once again! I've been itching to get this fanfic done already so I can get on with the Master Sword Returns and finish that one! So here we go! Possibly the second to last chapter!
֬֬
"I'm not sure I understand what you mean, father." Young Zelda said, looking up at her father, King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule "What do you mean I need to keep my fear?" she demanded.
Daphenes smiled and patted his daughter on the head. "It means fear can be a weapon. You can use it against anything." He explained, motioning out to the garden. "Beauty is a weapon, sometimes. You are beauty, Zelda. But that cannot be used as a thing for you only your fear..."
10 years later…
Zelda stopped and remembered what her father had said to her 10 years ago; Adia had stopped as well and was staring at her, wondering what was wrong. "My fear…" she murmured, remembering and understand what her father meant. She turned around, holding the Master Sword high, Adia staring at her, puzzled on what was going on. Through the thick dark fog they couldn't see a thing, anything of what was in front of them, nor behind. But they could hear the faint sound approaching them slowly. The sound of wooden balls shaking in a container together, like a bowl full of beads being shaken. Zelda didn't shiver like Adia did behind her; instead she stood poised, ready for the figure to step out into view.
"I'm not afraid of you Majora!" Zelda shouted, pointing at the darkness that overwhelmed them. The sound of slashing whips came from them impacting on the ground, and Majora came in view, his whips slashing on the ground and his head tilting side by side making the horrible noise.
"You should be…" Majora harshly said, slashing the whips down on the ground, inches away from Zelda.
"I'm not afraid to fight you either." Zelda murmured, hoisting the Master Sword onto her shoulder. "Though I don't know how to use a sword. I know how to throw things." She finished, leaning back and using her weight and all her strength to throw the sword at Majora. Majora easily ducked, the Master Sword flying past him, missing him clearly.
"You missed." Majora mocked.
Zelda nodded. "I know." She said, reaching her hand out for something.
A whistling sound came from behind, making Majora turn around to see what it was. Majora couldn't see the thing hurdling towards him because of the darkness, but as the whistling came closer, he could see the faint glitter of the Master Sword's blade hurdling towards him. The Master Sword, easily gliding right through Majora's chest, flew back into Zelda's hand as she turned around and rushed to Adia's side.
"Let's go Adia. We have another verse to finish." Zelda murmured, pulling Adia away as Majora shrunk into his little boy form and fell forward, dead on the ground. And his body slowly fading away into tiny particles.

"Come on Aaron!" Karina shouted, tugging on Aaron's sleeve as he lay on the ground. "Get up!" she persisted. Aaron didn't move, instead he just looked over at Karina.
"How can you defeat Ganon now? Link's dead, he's the one who saves us from him." Aaron said, staring off to where Hyrule Castle was supposed to be through the thick fog.
"Do you have to remind me that my husband is dead? You think I don't know that? Come on! And what do you mean me? I'm not going to defeat Ganon! 'We' are!" Karina shouted, pulling Aaron farther up the hill.
"What could I possibly do? I'm just a person in love… that's it." Aaron protested, bobbing his head.
"So? Me and Link we're in love! Yet we were able to defeat Ganon! If you get up and help me then you can live on so you can see or even have your child's birth!" Karina shouted.
Aaron's eyes widened. It was true, if Ganon lived, no doubt he would kill him and possibly take the child as his own, as revenge. No, he wouldn't let that happen, not ever. Aaron stood up, almost making Karina fall backwards. "What do I need to do?" he asked.
"About time, Aaron!" Karina shouted, turning around and running down the opposite side of the hill. Aaron spun on his heel and followed Karina down the hill. As Aaron ran down he started to catch up with Karina in till they reached the base. "The next verse: 'Only then shall we save the darkness within.'." Karina said, gasping a little and catching her breath. "I think I understand what that means." She said, pointing towards a dirt red road curving to the left. "Gerudo Fortress is our next stop. And no doubt Zelda and Adia's as well." She said, running towards the split road.
Aaron ran to catch up, grabbing onto Karina's forearm to stop her. "What do you mean Zelda and Adia's next stop?" he asked.
"I mean what I mean. Zelda is coming to Gerudo Fortress so the last verse can be complete." Karina explained, grabbing onto Aaron's hand and looking at the dark tan skin on it. "Save the darkness within. You have darkness inside of you Aaron. You always had it; because of Ganon you have it. The darkness is the rage and anger you have towards him. You have to grasp that darkness, you have to use it. I understand 'why' you wouldn't want to use it, or even remember it. But it's the only way we can defeat Ganon once again, this time maybe even for good." She said, resting her hand in Aaron's. "This is where you stand. You don't stand with your father; instead you stand with your father's enemies. That is usually not the case; many would have thought the son of Ganon would be evil like him. But you aren't, you despise him, and you despise yourself because you have his blood inside you. But that can be used as a good thing.
"You did it once before." Karina continued, looking straight at Aaron's eyes. "If you don't do this… then all will be lost, you won't see the birth of your child, and I won't see my children again either." She said, sighing. "Also remember your mother, Nabooru. You have her blood too." She continued, letting go of Aaron's hand. "Now let's go." And Karina turned off towards the red dirt road towards the desert.
Aaron stood where Karina had left him, thinking about what she had just said. It was true. He did have a darkness dwelling inside of him. Darkness full of rage to Ganon, and another that was rage towards Link because he had married Karina. A rage that so wanted him to kill Karina with his bare hands. But he just couldn't, he didn't want that to be unleashed, but now… it seemed it had to be. Aaron nodded and went in the direction Karina was headed.
Desert Colossus…
"Keep running, Shara!" Lunard shouted, tripping in the sinking sand as they reached the huge desert colossus.
Shara forcefully pulled her feet out of the sand and tried desperately to continue on and till they got to the entrance where the sand wouldn't suck them in. "I can't! It's to strong!" she shouted over the evil laughter behind them.
Lunard was twice as strong as Shara so he was having a better time with the sinking sand; he grabbed onto Shara's arm and helped try and pull her along with him through the sand, it came with some success. Finally they got to solid ground of the colossus, laying on the ground, breathing heavily, even though Ganondorf was not to far off behind them. "We… need… to get… inside." Lunard said between gasps.
Shara nodded and got herself to her feet, as did Lunard. "We should be safe inside the colossus. But not for long." She said, wincing a bit from the reason. Lunard and Shara grabbed tightly to each other's hands and ran inside the huge colossus…
Hope you really liked this chapter! I don't myself though. But I really hope you can't wait in till the last chapter! I sure can't wait for it to end so I can finally get on with the Master Sword Returns and finally make the Fourth story! Well, hope you enjoyed it and please review!
