*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The King's Deceit

The vast room was situated at the very peak of the tower. It was huge. It's four walls were laced with delicate stained glass windows, and gold leaf covered the ceiling. A rich red, square carpet sat in the centre of the room, leaving a space of several meters between it's edge and the wall. At the opposite end of the room, a vast, elaborate and very beautiful organ stood, its funnels, which amplified the sound ten-fold, almost touched the high roof. The organ stood on a raised dais, and sitting before it, playing the hauntingly calm and sweet melody was Ganondorf. Above him floated the blue sapphire gem, Zelda's prison, the beautiful young woman saw him and hope filled her lucid, blue eyes.

"Link !" She cried in joy.

Ganondorf, slowly stopped playing, he chuckled, a hint of madness etching his voice, he stood, and spun around so his black cloak flapped dramatically around his heavily muscled frame.

Link drew his sword, watching the King in apprehension, out of the corner of his eyes he saw Zaila awkwardly holding her own sword, he hissed in regret for harming her arm, she would have been very useful in the battle, but now it would be more likely for her to get in the way, but he said nothing.

"Well, well, well. It seems that my influence over you has faded my dear." He said to Zaila.

She snarled, hitching her sword, ignoring the blood that still flowed from her shoulder.

"You'll never control me again! Let my sister go, or I'll kill you !" She yelled.

Ganondorf, laughed outright at that statement. Clearly he didn't think Zaila as much of a threat. She growled in fury, preparing to run at him, but Link's hand held her back, he shook his head warningly, and for once she did as she was told.

"My dear, you are no match for me, you know that!" He said, The remark injured Zaila's pride, but Link stepped forward, drawing the King's attention to him.

"Enough talk Ganon, either fight me, or surrender now!" he challenged.

"A bold statement, boy!" he snarled. "But can you back it up ?!" He raised his hand, sending a ball of fire straight at Link. He managed to raise his shield in time to stop the blow, but the force pushed him back several feet and his shield felt hot on his arm. When he lowered it, he saw Ganondorf smirking at him.

"Link, get to the edge of the room !" Yelled Zaila suddenly. Link's eyes widened, he saw what the King was going to do, he was rising his balled fist high above his head. Link and Zaila split, they each ran to a different corner. Before Link got there, Ganon brought his fist down with crushing force, the shockwaves travelled out like ripples, shacking the very foundations of the building, sending slabs of the floor thundering down to the room below.

The one beneath Link shifted, and dropped, his stomach lurched and he threw his hand out, just grabbing the edge of the floor. He managed to haul himself up, and managed to stand, he looked over at Zaila, and then back at Ganon.

He laughed insanely, and floated up into the air, in a display of raw power, the organ faded from view, and the ceiling and walls dissipated. A chill howling wind suddenly consumed Link as the walls fell away. Everything turned grey as all the finery of the gold walls, coloured glass and lush red carpets vanished. Above him stormed the thunderous turmoil of the grey storm clouds that hulked over the land, glaring down at the four below. Zelda's transparent prison floated yet higher to give the fighters room.

Once again Ganondorf brought his fist down, hoping to throw the two off balance so they fell off the edge of the building, but they were able to stay on their feet. A select few of the slabs of rock which wade up the floor, all remained firm, forming a small square in the centre of the room. The gap between where Link stood and the solid square was just small enough to be bridged by a good jump, he growled up at Ganon who turned in the air to face him, not even bothering to consider Zaila worth his time.

Link watched him warily, unsure of what to expect. His answer came soon enough. The King suddenly raised his hand, a ball of deadly, white energy forming in his palm, without hesitation he hurled it straight at Link. With no time left to think, Link could do nothing, the ball hit him hard in the chest. Fiery electricity crackled over his body. He cried out, not so much in pain, but.... It felt like his energy was sucked out of him, and it felt almost disgusting to him, the ball tapped into his strength, drawing it away.

When the energy faded, he found himself on his back, he shakily got to his feet, not hearing Zaila's worried shout. He snarled, if that happened a few more times, all his energy would be gone, he wouldn't even have enough to move, and the King could take his sweet time in killing him. he had to stay more alert, the fate of the land rested on his shoulders.

Again Ganondorf raised his hand, and again he threw the ball of energy towards Link. It surged forwards at frightening speed, Link had no idea how to block it, his raised his sword in impulse. He saw the bright ball hit the sword, and then ....... It flew back towards Ganon, taking the Master of evil by surprise. He saw the same energy absorbing pain consume the man.

"Link! The Light Arrows !" Yelled Zelda from above.

Link understood. He whipped his bow from his back, and in seconds had an arrow strung, it blazed with fiery glory, burning with a righteous magic. He let it fly, and it struck true. Ganon screamed in pain. He dropped to the floor, trying to catch his breath. Instantly, both Zaila and Link and jumped the gaps and hacked at the King, trying to find a way past his coal black armour.

Zaila swung her sword, catching a small patch of skin on her father's waist, drawing blood. She hissed slightly in pain, clutching her own side, respective to where she had just gouged him. She ignored it, and continued trying to prick her way past his defences.

"Back!" yelled Link suddenly. They turned, managing to get back to their corners, before Ganon's fist sent more of the floor tiles, thundering down. Link cast an eye over at Zaila, she was panting slightly, and she seemed to wince every now and then. He guessed it was because of her arm and guilt washed over him.

A manic laugh sounded from Ganondorf, and Link's gaze snapped back to him.

"You little fool!" He hissed. "Did you really think I would take to precaution? Hah! You won't kill me! Even if I stripped away my armour and produced you with my bare back!" Taunted the King.

Zaila's eyes widened slightly.

"Link, don't listen to him! everything that man says is a lie !" she howled to him.

Ganon laughed, and slowly drew a dagger from his side, then, holding up his hand, he placed the blade on the flesh.

"Now, Boy! Watch, and see why you can't beat me!" he hissed. Suddenly he dug the dagger in deeply and ran it across the back of his hand, gouging the flesh deeply.

There was a cry of pain, but it didn't come from Ganon, Link looked over, Zaila was clutching her own hand, the same one that Ganon had cut, she managed to grind her teeth against the pain, but the damage had been done.

"You see..." said Ganon mildly, replacing the blade, letting his blood drip to the cold floor. "My insurance is my daughter. She didn't tell you for fear that you would refuse to fight, isn't that right my dear?" he asked Zaila.

"He's lying !" She yelled.

Ganondorf's reply was to dig his nails into the fresh wound and scrape them along it, almost going as deeply as the muscle. Zaila couldn't help it, she cried out again, cradling her hand.

Link snarled.

"You coward !" he shouted fiercely at Ganon, who merely laughed, digging his nails deeper, causing Zaila to yell in pain.

"Stop it !" yelled Link, fury was fogging his vision, all he wanted to do was kill Ganon, but how could he? The ball of energy bowled him backwards, drawing out a little more of his energy, he snarled in pain, but managed to stagger upright.

"Fight me if you can boy !" Taunted the man. "I knew that Zaila wouldn't be able to beat you, so if you kill her, it doesn't affect me, but if you kill me, she dies too !" His voice was victorious, he knew he had already won.

Link bowed his head in defeat, he couldn't win.
