Chapter 4: Shadow Link's Dog…
After the Capture of the Forest Sage
What a nuisance… The thought fluttered on the gerudo's mind while he paced back and forth, Every time I turn my back he gets into somewhere he doesn't belong…His footsteps softly bounced around the great hall that held his treasured Organ. I have to find some place to put him…soon… He stopped in place and glanced to the doorway, he could her the two souls flying up the stairs, bickering the whole way.
The doors busted open, giving entrance to two old women flying on some broomsticks. Being twins the pair looked exactly the same, the same hat, the same nose, and the same huge buggy eyes. The only things that differed between the two was that one had a Bright ruby upon her forehead long along with a red sash around her waist, while the other had in place of the ruby, a beautiful Sapphire and a blue sash instead. "Koume… Kotake… What brings you here?" The king calmly questioned.
The two sisters landed softly finishing up their last argument while stepping off their broomsticks. "Ganondorf.." the red one began, "I have come across some interesting ne-."
"YOU!" The blue one interrupted and snarled out, "I came across it first! You just watched me find it!"
The red turned to glare at her sister, "It was MY idea to use that Volcano, not you sister dear!"
"I wanted to search inside! I was the one who found it first!" Koume met her sister's glare with an icy look of her own.
"Koume, Kotake, I have no time for your petty arguments." The Kings voice rumbled making them both turn to look upon him, "What did you find?"
The two sisters smiled to each other and as Koume turned to answer the man, her blue sapphire glinting in the faint light, "We found-"
"A Dragon!" Kotake jumped towards her lord. "A Fire breathing beast within the Volcano's walls!"
"Yess yess, a young one too, strong.. Strong! Just like the one that was feared many years ago!" Koume finished stepping up in line with her sister, "but the best part is.. it's-."
"A caged animal! Ready for-"
"Liar! It's a docile creature! Full of Potential!"
"It wasn't docile Koume! It tried to bite you!"
"You told it to attack me you-"
"Inside the volcano?" Ganondorf raised his voice above the two hags, "What did you do with it?"
Kotake smiled her sinister smile, which made her look quite insane, "I picked it up, sire.. I trapped him in a cage…" She looked to her sister with disappointment, "I would have spellbound the beast but she said to come to you…"
The Gerudo man grinned at the two before him, pleased with their work, "Where is this beast now?"
"Off within the fire Corridor! He is pleased with the heat, and is easier to manage there…" Koume stated a slight hint of disappointment hung within her voice.
He nodded and raised his hand, "Let's give our new friend a proper greeting…"
--- Over at Lake Hylia ---
"I can't believe he talked me into this…" A dark skinned woman grumbled to herself.
"What Ma?" Dark Link looked over to his companion. He was sitting at the edge of a small-concealed pond, a fishing pole in his hand.
"N-Nothing!" She smiled to the kid half heartily, "Nothing at all!" Receiving a suspicious eye from the child she laughed, "What do you hope to catch?"
"I don't know, maybe a Farore Fin or something.." His eyes had wandered temporarily towards the small lake, then shot back over to her with an excited look on his face, "If we do catch one, can we eat it?"
Nabooru laughed and patted Shadow Link on the head, forcing a hat to be pushed farther down and over her eyes. "If it's big enough maybe." The kid lifted the stolen fisherman's hat off his head and plopped it back on in place. He then turned back towards the large pond with more determination than before. After a few moments of silence, the woman stood up and stretched, "I'm going to go talk to the owner."
The kid nodded and focused even harder upon the bobber. Then after a few moments, got bored. Taking a quick glance to his left he noted that the two adults were busy in their conversation, and slipped inside the shadows, letting the rod drop limply onto the floor. The trees were giving off a pretty good sized shadow on the water, making it easier to travel along the bottem of the water, that was until he got to about a quarter of the way across the pond. There! His eyes landed upon his prize-winning dinner. It wasn't a Farore Fin, but then there seemed to be nothing but the Zorian salmon. A pretty good tasting fish, at least according to his aunts, but what sold him was it's size. Nabooru would surely let him take the fish home if he caught it! He smiled proudly at the poor specimen when he noticed something, it was in the middle of a bright and sunny spot.. right in between the two Logs; next to a branch protruding from the surface. I'll get you… his mind growled as he observed the fish. He then returned to the fishing pole outside of the lake and the shadows, and casted the line towards dinner. Grinning as a satisfying "splot" sounded nearby the spot he pleased. Now.. it's just you and me, fishy…His eyes narrowed in concentration.
"Dark Link!" a voice called him.
He lifted his eyes from the bobber to Nabooru to see her gesturing him over with her hands. "awww…" He muttered under his breath and stood while reeling in the line. "Coming." He mindlessly answered, finished winding up the line, and began to walk over to the two. Next time fish, I'll eat you! He warned the salmon quietly in his head.
The gerudo smiled at the kid in an amused way and began, "It's time to head ba-"
RRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR!
Everyone froze.
"W-what was that!" the man almost yelped and looked to the woman before him, "I-it sounded like it c-came from o-outside!"
Shadow Link bolted for the door while throwing the fishing pole at the counter, but as he passed, the fisherman snatched the hat off of the child's head.
Once outside, he stopped steps away from the entrance, and not far behind him Nabooru paused as well. His eyes almost seemed to shine at the sight has an excited voice almost shouted, "A Dragon!" He looked to the woman behind him and then back to the beast. Why is she scared…? He wondered, but only for a second! Then he turned back to Nabooru once more, "Let's go to it!" He jumped into the lake and started to swim over towards the island.
"Shadow Link! No!" Nabooru leapt into the water after him and soon caught up, about halfway across the lake. Landing her hand upon the kid's back she jerked him towards her, "Come on!"
"Wait! If we stay in the water it probably won't attack us right?" The shadow turned to look at his guardian, a little bit of desperation was in his voice, "It's better if we stay here, Right?"
Nabooru looked to the child, he was right.. If it was a fire breathing dragon it is better to stay in the water… "Okay.." she admitted quietly and finished up with a command, "But don't try to call it's attention…" He nodded and turned his attention to the beast flying high in the sky.
It was soaring around in great circles over the lake, ever slowly descending upon the great body of water, when the two observers noticed something flying in circles above it. "What is that?" The shadow muttered out to the gerudo, "There's two of them though.." his voice trailed off for a moment. Nabooru opened her mouth to reply when the shadow suddenly exclaimed, "Are they.. Dragon Babies!"
Nabooru began to laugh at the excitement that the child had, "No no, I don't think they are…" Are those… it can't be… Where would they find that?
Almost as if on cue the laughter of the two witches echoed out and into the air. "That sounds like, Aunt Koume and Aunt Kotake…" His voice seemed a little edgy.
"A nice new addition isn't it Booru." A deep voice grumbled from the islands edge, "I think it'll go nicely inside the fire temple…" Ganondorf turned his head from the dragon to the two in the water, "Don't you think?"
He was met with startled faces at first, but then they quickly turned into ones of disgust and awe. "How dare you call me that! I told you I hated that name!" Nabooru spat back at him while Dark Link swam to the edge of the island.
"You mean that's our Dragon!" The shadow spoke out in even more excitement, "Is it friendly?"
Ganondorf just smirked at Nabooru, then turned his head to Shadow Link, "Well, It's My dragon, and no… I'll eat your hand if you touch it." His voice was stern and full of warning.
"Eeeeeheheheee!" Kotake cackled louder as they descended closer to the ground with the dragon close by behind. Actually it looked like the dragon was chasing Koume while Kotake chased the dragon.
Shadow Link's eyes narrowed as he stared at the two witches, then after a moment widened in shock. Kotake's hair, which was usually kept up inside a hat, had turned into stands of flame, while Koume's had become locks of ice. What's going on!
The Dragon let out another deafening roar as he circled after Koume, blasting as much fire at the ice witch that he could. "He's getting feisty Sister! I say one more time!" She called after avoiding the roaring flames, and quickly flew to the right circling even tighter, then fired a great shot of ice at the dragon's snout. The beast let out another blast of fire to stop the ice but the shards cut strait through and smacked him on the side. Ganondorf snickered at the feeble effort to stop the ice.
"Why are they doing that!" Shadow Link stepped towards his master, feeling a little enraged at the game. His master just ignored him.
The Dragon flew to the left in a sharp turn and charged after Koume, it's eyes full with fire. The witch spun around and began to fly away as the dragon chased but soon enough the beast began to catch up. "Ah! Now! Now is a good time!"
"I agree sister now it is!" Kotake had stopped chasing the beast and began hovering above a lone tree on the island. "As feisty as the last! It truly is!"
Ganondorf chuckled to himself and stepped forward, "Koume! Kotake!"
The two witches circled around the dragon before Ganondorf to quickly for the beast to follow, then in a matter of seconds, scattered off in two different directions, leaving the confused dragon before their king.
He raised his hands shoulder width apart and began to chant,
"Wild creature of the fire,"
A dark orb began to form between his hands, while the dragon turned it's attention upon him,
"Your freedom is my desire,"
The beast began to descend upon the Gerudo king, while the dark orb grew slightly as he spoke sending thin lights back and forth between his hands,
"Give me your soul, your will, your heart!"
He grabbed the orb before him in his left hand, making the triforce upon his fist to glow. The Dragon abruptly stopped and began to violently struggle against some unseen force sending fire towards Ganondorf in bright bursts, while roaring in rage.
"Give me your dreams…"
He had lifted his right hand and was swaying it in a circle when until a small ball of flame grew within his the circle he made. He then grabbed it in a tight hold, making the beast cry out in a enraged scream.
"So I May TEAR THEM APART!"
He smashed the ball of flame within his right fist, and released the dark orb within his left, which began to float towards the Dragon and fizzled away.
The fire within the beast eyes faded and seemed to turn black, while it's struggle dropped. The beast floated in it's spot spending all it's attention upon the Gerudo.
After watching all that, Dark Link stepped back in shock… Did that… just happen? He glanced to his master, who upon his face wore the most sinister grin that he had ever laid eyes upon.
The two witches teleported beside Ganondorf and began to laugh as they flew in a circle around him, "Most Splendid!" Kotake Called.
"Most Magnificent!" Koume chorused.
"Dreadful." Nabooru almost seemed to hiss, she had climbed out off the water and was standing nearby her "child".
Ganondorf just snickered while the two witches turned to look at Nabooru both of them, "I have half a mind to–"
"WE" Koume corrected, "have half the mind to-"
"Ladies," Ganondorf interrupted, "It's her opinion…"
"I don't need you to defend me." Nabooru growled.
"Ungrateful Wenc-" Koume began, but stopped was stopped by Ganondorf voice,
"I dub thee Volvagia!" He called to the dragon, half yelling to cut off the witch, and half to add to the effect of his control. There was a young one watching so why not make it interesting? "Now into the depths of the Death Mountain Crater you go. Until I call upon your name once again!" The Dragon roared and soared off towards the tall mountain and soon disappeared from sight behind the trees. "Shadow Link." He still had his back turned to the shadow, "What did you think…?"
Koume and Kotake turned to look upon the youngster along with Nabooru, but Ganondorf remained still with his back turned. "I-I…" He hesitated, "I thought… It was," he paused unsure of what to say. If I say I liked it… I'd be lying, and mother would get mad… but if I say I didn't Aunt Koume and Aunt Kotake won't leave me alone! Then I have no clue what Father will do! He swallowed hard and finished, "It was powerful."
Koume laughed out and smiled wickedly to her sister, her sapphire glinting in the sun's light, "He liked it Kotake!"
"I knew he would!" She grinned back, "I think I should teach him the next step in the shadow techniques!"
"WE should teach him, We shall teach him!" Koume corrected once more, and with that they both turned to Shadow Link, "Tomorrow child! Tomorrow!"
"You shall learn more! More!" Kotake laughed as she flew close to the child, and muttered to him while making direct eye contact, "Arrive early child, we have much to do!" She laughed and began to fly in a circle with her sister, then in a blink of an eye, they were gone.
Shadow Link shuddered and looked away to the floor, when a hand landed upon his shoulder, "What did you think of it?" Nabooru's voice rang, but this time with a more gentle tone.
"It…" he swallowed, "It was horrible."
YAY I dunno what Language to put the spell in so I just was like BLAH Let it be English! I made it rhyme in English so BLEH! . () Weee Oh btw I was thinking that the dragon was going to follow the same past as it did in the Ocarina of time Manga if you guys read it. I think it adds something to Volvagia. I like him!
