The sun burned hot upon his back as he sprinted across Hyrule fields, feeling the wind whisp through his sandy blonde hair, it tickling his long ears slightly as he looked towards the horizon. He knew he didn't have much time to get to the Gerudo's fortress, but he knew that when he got there, it was going to be hectic getting back out. Damn Ruto and her necklace. She was always losing things. Hopefully he would be able to find it. Afterall, it did have a piece of the triforce in it. He probably shouldn't have given it to her...but he thought that she and the other Zoras would be able to keep it safe in their kingdom. He supposed that he guessed wrong.
Slowing down, he looked around a big boulder to the guards that were there. Now where did Gerudo keep their valuables? Oh, yes...with the prisoners...and where did they keep them? In the heart of the compound, of course. Good grief.
The door behind him clanged shut as he quickly turned around to the guard that had just sent him into prison. "But, I can explain! I--"
"Save it for Abha. I don't want to hear it." She said with a toss of her hair, and left.
He sighed and let himself slide down to sit on the floor of his cell. He knew that he had to get that necklace back...but what he didn't know was what they were going to do to him in this cell...or if it was even being deliberated.
He looked around. There wasn't much to this cell. Just a bed, and some pots. Not even a window. He guessed that back when he had escaped before that they had gotten much smarter about where they placed their windows and such. And perhaps whom they put in which cell. That made him smirk a little bit, as he rose, dusted himself off, and sat on the bed. It was hard, but at least he could rest. He had been following leads ever since this morning...and frankly...he was tired.
Just as he was about to close his eyes...
"Well, hello...look at what we have here..." The dark, inky voice flowed over him like a chilling wind.
He looked up, and sighed. "What do you want?"
"Now...what kind of a tone is that to have with someone that is so similar to you?"
"A good one," He said, and sat up, wishing that they hadn't taken his sword from him. He looked into the red eyes of his copy. They were laughing at him. "Considering I'm only talking to a poor-made copy of myself."
The dark one frowned slightly, running a hand through his black hair, then he grinned again, and tilted his head to the side, eyeing Link with a smirk. "Well...if I'm only a poor-made copy of you...then how come I'm not in prison?"
Link sighed, and shook his head, "Do you have anything better to do than to taunt me?"
"Not really...Ganondorf has taken a certain...dislike to me lately...so I figured that I would come see a pseudo brother of mine. What do you think? Aren't you glad to see me?"
"Pfft...you wish." He yawned a bit, and shook his head, trying to shake off the sleepy feeling that was growing over him.
"Well, then...I suppose I shall be off. It looks like you are on an 'important quest' yet again for some female that you will never have. I only hope that you find this precious item of Ruto's before I do...I would hate to know what would happen if my Master actually obtained the Triforce of Courage...wouldn't you?" The shadow of Link left, with a chuckle that seemed to stay in the air...making the whole world cold and icey.
Link tapped his head against the bars of the cell. "Great...now Hyrule is doomed...and once again I have to save it.. I should've never given her that necklace...and now I have to pay for it. Thanks alot...Ruto..."
