Link stood, horrified, how could this have happened ?
The beautiful pearly white walls of the castle has been blackened by layer upon layer of soot and ash which sailed up on the up-drafts from the churning pit of lava beneath it, and even though the sweltering heat was enough to scald the skin from your bones a layer of ice and rime covered the charred marble blocks.
The screaming winds howled around the black, spiked turrets and battlements and dark arrow slits peered like eyeless sockets upon the damaged world around it. The evil that cloaked the place was infectious, like a disease that seeped into everything around it, transforming it into a ruin, a mere shadow of its former self. The stench of sulphur choked the surrounding area of once lush grass. Link coughed and covered his mouth, almost passing out from the heinous gas.
He took determined steps forward, enough was enough.
So far Ganondorf had caused him to gather the stones, loose his childhood in the Sacred Realm, loose the one he loved and destroyed his homeland. The time had come for the ultimate showdown.
Link stopped, and cursed loudly. It was all very well being courageous and willing to fight, but what good was that if he couldn't even get into the castle ?!
"Ahh ! Fuck !" he yelled furiously, there was no bridge of any kind, no way across. He spun on his heel, too quickly and he fell backwards towards the lava. His heart raced. No ! He had come this far to get too clumsy and fall to his burning death. His eyes squeezed shut.
"Ow !" He yelled, he had fallen backwards and landed on something solid, he looked down and gave a yelp of surprise. He could still see the lava below him, but through a misty white haze. Shakily he stood up, a bridge had formed, he heard the voices of the six sages.
"We have provided your means of entering the castle, the rest is up to you Hero Of Time."
Link smiled, he drew his sword and entered the castle, even though he firmly kept his eyes focused on the way ahead, carefully not looking down.
Evea drew her sword as she felt him approach, she stood in a circular room in the main column of the tower, he had spent a considerable time breaking each of the six seals that made up the force field surrounding the entrance to the tower, and then he had taken his time in getting past all the obstacles on his way up.
She glared at the door along the shaft of her weapon. Her hair had been braided into a loose plait to keep it out of her eyes which burned fiery red. Her father had told her to kill him, and kill him she would. That scum wouldn't stand a chance, not against her, her the Princess of Darkness. To think, her foolish father had picked her pathetic sister to go to the castle, he would have had much greater results if he had chosen her. But it didn't really matter now, the end would be the same.
She smiled, baring her pointed teeth in anticipation as she heard his footsteps, they drew closer.
Link had secured the last cork in the neck of the bottle, he had replenished his supply of fairies and potions, and restocked on arrows. He drew his sword, knowing that there was going to be one last battle beyond that door before he reached Ganondorf.
He approached the heavy wooden door and opened it.
"Zaila !" He said surprised, as he saw her standing there, he barely had time to raise his sword to block hers as it came swinging for his head.
"Who is Zaila ?" She hissed.
Link cried out in effort as he kicked her off him, she fell backwards, and quickly scrambled to her feet.
"Zaila, stop this !" He yelled as she came at him again, her sword thrust towards him, and he deflected it. "This is madness, I know this isn't you Zaila !"
"I am Evea, who is Zaila ?!" She yelled , the air thrumming as her blade sliced through it at great speeds.
"You are !" Said Link, as he rolled to the side.
"I am Evea, Princess of my fathers kingdom, I am the Mistress of all Darkness!"
"You, are the woman I love, Zaila." He said.
The two separated momentarily, each catching their breath.
"The one you call Zaila died that day on the shore of Lake Hylia, when you took her heart and crushed it." She spat, "I am the result, and I am your death ."
She lunged forward, her sword moving so fast that it gashed a ditch into Link's cheek, red blood oozing from the marred flesh and trickling down his neck.
"Where is the real Zaila, I refuse to believe that she is gone !" said Link.
"Well, she is, live.. or die with it, Blondie !" She yelled.
Link's face lit up, he smiled. Evea paused, confused.
"I knew it." He said, "That's what you used to call me, isn't it, Whitey ?"
Evea snarled and swung her sword at Link's neck, he blocked and pushed her backwards, at the same time his own blade swept over her shoulder, slicing the flesh and some of the muscle deeply. She cried out, dropping her sword, and clutched her now useless arm as blood wept from the wound and splashed onto the stone floor.
"Now," Said Link, sheathing his sword, "You will listen to what I have to say."
Evea glared at him, her free hand trailing towards she kept her dagger in her boot.
"Zaila, from the moment I met you in the market place, you intrigued me, gradually I started to fall in love with you." He said, not noticing her hand, his eyes merely boring into hers.
"I never loved Ruto, I never even proposed to her. When you followed me into the Temple of Time seven years ago, you must have seen those three stones. I needed them to open the Door of Time and enter the Sacred Realm, one of them was the treasured possession of the Zora Princess Ruto. I saved her from Lord Jabu Jabu's stomach and in return she gave me the Spiritual stone, she only told me AFTERWARDS that it was considered the Zora's engagement ring."
Evea's eyes were growing darker by the second, Link's spirit soared as he realised that they were turning black, very slowly as his words gradually sunk in. But there was still some evil there. Suddenly Evea lunched forwards, the dagger raised, preparing to bring it down through Link's chest, he gasped, he had no time to draw his sword.
Suddenly she stopped, her eyes were black and her hair was white. Zaila dropped the knife and fell to her knees sobbing.
"Link," She said, "I-I'm so sorry !"
He blinked in surprise, then knelt next to her, still unsure if this was really Zaila, she raised her black eyes to his, and after a second of staring at each other, searching the other's soul, Zaila threw her good arm around his neck, sobbing into his shoulder.
His hand ran slowly up and down her back, he couldn't think of anything to say, he just comforted her.
"We can't waste any more time, it ends tonight, one way or another." Said Link, as he helped Zaila to her feet. She shook her head.
"Link, you can't beat him. He is far too strong...and besides..."
"Look, don't worry, I will kill the Bastard ! Please, you have to believe in me." He looked at her, his gorgeous blue eyes sinking into her own black orbs.
She hesitated, she knew what would happen if Ganondorf died....for a second, there was a small amount of fear..but then, she shook it away, what was her life anyway ? One life to save this land was worth it. She nodded.
"I believe in you." She whispered. Link smiled and kissed her tenderly, before pulling her up, towards the huge gold plated door, and frowned, it was locked and he didn't have a key.
Zaila smirked and shoved him aside.
"Shift Blondie." She said, and unhooked a gold key from her belt, she slid it into the lock and turned it, there was a creak in protest as the door swung inwards. Organ music filled their pointed ears, and they stepped into the vast room, where the fate of the land would be decided.
Wild-Roze: YAY ! Would you look at that for short ! MWAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHHHH !!!!!!! Ahem! Sorry about that. Anyway, Review, ^_^. The BIG fight, in da nxt chappie! (I'll try and make it longer, no promises tho)
