The Wolf With Steel Fangs

I have returned at the time of the trials. Complex destinies revealed. If you've come this far...

It's too late, we'll go down together.

The Wolf With Steel Fangs

Wolf Eyes

City lights shine on the harbor,
Night has fallen down,
Through the darkness
And the shadow
I will still go on.
Long, long journey
Through the darkness,
Long, long way to go;
But what are miles
Across the ocean
To the heart that's coming home?

His senses fleeing him, Link sank deeper into the infinite gloom. He no longer knew if this was the effects of his shadow's little trial. But there was no way to know. He needed to become stronger if he wanted to remain free. If he couldn't beat this, then he was not free. He was not himself. The darkness that surrounded him had robbed him of all his senses except the spiritual ones. He could feel heartbeats with his fingertips, heartbeats that were not his own. Silvery aurora drifted lazily around him.

(Who are you?)

(Who are you?)

They asked over and over, soon surrounding the drifter. Link's gaze met them.

"I am I." He replied.

They circled them, taking no shape. They seemed to whisper to each other. Link remained firm, the feeling of sleep tugging at him He forced himself awake. He had to survive this.

(Do you know?)

(Do you know?)

(Do you really want to know?)

They voices were changing, sounding more like a collection of howls. There was the sound of scratching claws and the feeling of panic. Link bit his tongue and forced himself to look upon their shapes. He didn't know what they were going on about, but he wanted to know. His curiosity wanted to know.

(We will show you...the true you...)

The silvery auroras sped up, swirling about violently. They began to take shape before him. The light they gave off became brighter, almost blinding. Their voices merged, becoming only one solid and unified voice. The light began to die, and Link found himself face to face with his inner self...

A wolf.

Link's eyes shot open and he sprang awake. Dark Link jumped back, nearly losing his balance and falling into the pool of water nearby. His eyes were wide and cold sweat dripped off of his forehead. His wounds seemed to have closed and healed. DL slowly crept over, cautious as always. Link stared blankly into nothingness for a moment before looking over at his shadow, who now was so startled that he lost his balance and fell on his butt.

"Your...your eyes..." Dark Link said, his voice quivering. Never before had he felt so afraid.

Link looked at his reflection in the water, and was equally frightened by what he saw...

His eyes were almost gray, and a terrifying as that of a wolf...

And now we are reborn...
