The Darkness of Love
Link threw himself to one side , as the fire ball landed where he had stood a second ago . He had managed to discover a technique to defeat the mighty Twin Rova , every time an ice attack was thrown at him his new mirror shield would absorb it , it could only absorb three of the same attack , so if she fired a fire attack then he had to move , and fast .
A second ice attack slammed into his shield , the shining surface merely absorbing it , that was all three . The shield flashed a deadly, icy white , and fired out a stream of numbing ice and biting snow .
It slammed into the Twin Rova , enabling Link to jump over to her and deliver the final slice with his sword , she screamed , and separated into the two siblings . Then , she died . Link fell to one knee , panting , his energy was low , but he felt the rush of victory come with a sense of dread .
He had at last freed the final temple from the grip of terror that evil had on it , but also now he had to move onto Ganon , and Zaila .
True he had been eager before to face Zaila , but now he wasn't sure if he wanted to , he didn't know if he could stand seeing again the look of hatred she had given to him at Lake Hylia . He sighed as he picked up the heart container and stepped into the glowing portal , but then again , he had no choice , he had a duty , and that duty was to save Hyrule , no matter the costs .
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_**__*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
The Temple of Time . The place where it had all started , Link hoped it would be Zaila waiting for him there , Rauru had said that someone would be there . Link couldn't help but wonder what things would be like if Zaila had never followed him , and had never stepped up behind him at the exact moment he had pulled the sword from its sacred resting place .
Perhaps things would have been easier , he found himself feeling bitter towards her , if she had kept her thieving little hands to herself , none of this would have happened the way they had . He alone would be the Hero of Time , he wouldn't have to share any of the power that the Triforce of Courage wielded .
But he reproved himself, what kind of a way was that to think . What had happened had happened , if he wanted to he expected he could travel back in time and stop Zaila when she was young from following him to the temple , but now that he thought about it , did he really want to ?
Even though her heart had turned black and her red eyes were now sharp and cruel , Link knew that he wouldn't trade the world for the brief time they had spent as two different souls who found comfort in the other , and had shared kisses and embraces under the high moon .
He found his heart pounding as he stepped into the Temple of Time , his face fell , when it was not Zaila standing there , but only Shiek .
"I have been waiting for you , Link ." he said .
"Hn ." Was all Link could say , he was too disappointed to say much else .
"Correct me if I am wrong Link , but isn't part of your quest to find the Princess Zelda ?" He asked him .
"You know perfectly well that that is what my quest is , so why do you even bother to ask ?!" He said , a little too sharply .
The boy infront of him smirked . "You were hoping that it was going to be Zaila waiting here for you , weren't you , Link ?" He said .
"Yes , and sorry to say , I am thoroughly disappointed !" He told him . Shiek merely smiled again .
"Let me tell you something Link , When Ganondorf touched the Triforce , his heart was not pure , so the three parts divided and were drawn to those chosen by destiny to wield their power , the Triforce of Courage was split between you and Zaila , I know not why , destiny , or perhaps it was an accident , seeing as you were both sealed away in the Sacred Realm . The Triforce of Power went to Ganondorf , using its might he was able to strike down the land , conquering all becoming the ultimate King of Evil . But still he was not satisfied , his lust for more power drove him on , he started trying to find the other shards of the Triforce . You , and Zaila , were sealed away , so he could not find you , and the Princess Zelda had disappeared .
Those who carry the power of the gods are marked with the symbol of the Triforce on the back of their left hand . The one who carries the Triforce of Wisdom , is me ." he said .
There was a blinding flash of light , Link covered his eyes , but when he reopened them he gasped .
"Z-Zelda ?!?"
The woman who stood before him , struck him dumb with her beauty , long golden hair hung around he shoulders , framing her porcelain face , her crystal blue eyes shone with the knowledge of old , and her perfect body held itself in a way that spelt dignity and grace with every movement .
She hung her head .
"Link , I am truly sorry , I hid myself from you and my sister , my sister . Thank the Goddess's that my father chose me to be sent to the royal family , and not her . Link , you must destroy her , and Ganondorf ."
Link winced , he didn't know if he could .
"I can't , Zaila was angry at me , perhaps if I can talk to her , and try to explain ."
She shook her head . "It won't work Link . I know what you feel for her , but you won't get the chance to explain anything to her , she will kill you as soon as she sees you . I can feel what is in her heart , nothing but darkness , her soul has been penetrated by your affection , and shattered when she discovered Ruto . She has no soul left now , and her heart is surrounded by a layer of darkness that not even the brightest light can dispel . Every moment she has spent in Ganondorf's presence , her hunger for more power has lost her in a maze of hate and evil . You must kill her ."
"Please Link , please you must understand . My sister was lucky to have you for the time she did , I only wish I had been given that chance . My dear , please take these , Light Arrows , use them to strike her down , and free what is left of her tortured and blackened mind . These will penetrate the dark defences that both she and my father have built up around themselves ."
Link took the arrows , his mind in turmoil , how could he kill her , how could he ? He LOVED her , goddess , he loved her so much that it caused a pain in his chest to think of her , drowning in her own dark desires , waiting for him up in that black fortress , waiting for him to come to her so she could kill him .
"That was quite a speech little Princess ." Rang out a cold feminine voice .
"Zaila ." breathed Link .
"We are having a little family reunion , your invited ." She hissed .
Ganondorf's laughter could be heard .
"You let your guard down my dear, and now , I have you, after all these years of searching ." he said .
Zelda cried out as a blue gem formed around her . Link ran forward , but someone's hand lashed out and sent him sprawling backwards on the floor . He tasted the metallic tang of blood in his mouth and he sat up and looked at his attacker .
"Zaila !" he spat .
How different she looked . Hre blood red hair matched the colour of her eyes , and she wore a twisted smirk on her face . Black armour covered her entire body , and a black jewel sat in the centre of her forehead . The bow and arrows adorned her back , and she held her sword lightly in one gloved hand . A read cloak hung from her shoulders , held in place by black buckles .
She truly did look like the Princess of Darkness .
She shook her head .
"Tut tut tut little Hero . We can't have you interfering now can we ?" She hissed .
He slowly stood up .
"Zaila , please listen to me . You have made a terrible mistake , I don't love Ruto ."
Her eyes widened slightly .
"You ..You don't?" She breathed .
Link smiled , it looked like she was listening , he stepped forward and placed his hand on her cheek .
"No , I don't ." he told her .
She closed her eyes and put one of her hands over his .
"Link ." She said .
Link leaned forward to kiss her , he had forgotten that her eyes were still a deep shade of red . His lips touched hers , and relief filled his heart .
Suddenly Zaila brought her fist up into his stomach with punishing force . he reeled backwards and fell to his knees , he coughed up some blood , groaning . Zaila scowled down at him and raised her sword .
"Stop !" She paused at her father's command . "We don't want him dead just yet , leave him return to my side young Princess ."
Zaila lowered her weapon and smirked at Link , then she turned around and touched the blue gem with one hand . Then in an instant , they were gone .
Link lay there , alone in the deserted Temple . He was such a fool . He groaned in agony when he moved to sit up , and breathing was painful , he managed to haul himself to his feet . He needed a fairy .
He growled , he had to go on , he had to save Zelda , and somehow , somehow he had to make Zaila listen to him . he spat out some more blood , goddess only knew how he was ever going to do this . An awful pain riddled his chest , he was sure it wasn't just the blow that Zaila had inflicted upon him . Zaila . Why couldn't she understand that she was wrong , and that Link loved her more than the whole land of Hyrule . He raised his head .
"Nayru , give me strength ." He prayed , and he took his first faltering steps towards the black castle .
Wild-Roze : Yea , I no it was short , but hardly N E 1 reviewed the last chapter, so consider it punishment , lol . No really I did want to make it longer , but it seems that I said everything that needed saying . so before the next chapter I'm gonna want at least 80 reviews ....heh heh heh , aint I evil ? Okay , well R&R ! ^__^
