Heylo everyone, here's the weekend chapter as I promised (wow, 10 chapters already?) school is looming around the corner -hides- but I'll try to update ASAP thanks for being such a patient audience...and oh yes! Thanks for the mountains of reviews! I love you guys:3 -hands out Pringles and chocolate- hope you enjoy ;)
Ganon's hand that had cupped Tala's mouth began to glow with blue light, it seemed he had grown impatient, sick of waiting for Link's decision – he had begun to move onto the next phase of his plan…
Tala bit at Ganon's hand, she tried to puncture his material and get into his flesh, since a werewolf's bite affected people no matter what form they were in. Tala yelped and pulled back as she felt her gums burn, the blue light contained strange energy – it was like some kind of blue flame…but different…
"What are you doing?" Link asked with fear in his voice, he dismounted Tomus and unsheathed his sword, being careful not to make any sudden movements.
"That's for me to know and you to find out," he laughed as Tala was soon engulfed in the blue light, she squealed as the blue flame-like glow hit her body, the pain was unbearable…
The hurt seared inside her, causing her body to become still…her limbs to become numb…soon all she could see was the blinding colour of the light until it faded out and she could see nothing. Her body had lost all feeling, but she could sense something intruding inside her body, ripping it apart, bit by bit. Similar to having the 'butterflies in your stomach' feeling, but much, much worse, so uncomfortable that it seemed as if your very essence had been torn out of you…your body, squeezed and compressed into nothingness, it hurt so much that the pain couldn't be felt, just the continuous sinking feeling repeating itself over and over again.
Link let out a yell as he saw Tala's body crumble to the ground, the expressions of fear and pain has dispersed from her. He dropped his sword and raced over to her, he picked her up…her body was cold and pale, her brown eyes were blank…meaningless…what had happened to her?
Ganondorf chuckled as he watched Link whimper as he stared at the hopeless figure in his arms. It was just so funny for Ganon to see such a strong man emotionally overpowered…
This was just too much for Link, he wanted not just to kill Ganon, but annihilate him, rip him limb from limb, slash him to pieces until no more blood could drench the earth, actually, he would've done so if his sword hadn't have been left beside his horse…Link clenched his fist and gritted his teeth as he stared up at Ganondorf, tears forming in his eyes for the second time that night. "What have you done?" he whispered to his enemy as if so weak he couldn't speak any louder.
Ganon was clutching a strange blue remanent of the glow that had engulfed Tala, small wisps of misty smoke circled around it as it rested in Ganondorf's olive coloured palm. Oddly enough, the ball seemed to be singing, very, very distant singing. "I've taken her soul," Ganon told the Hylian as he raised his sword up high. A soulless body was as good as dead, the only way to restore Tala to her former self would be to let the soul and body reconnect, obviously, this was not what Ganon wanted. "You are pathetic, Link and tonight you must die," he hissed as he plunged the silver blade down.
Link winced as he felt the sword enter his shoulder with a burning sensation, the cold silver ripped harshly through both skin, muscle and fabric as it passed through his body, the tip was sticking out the other side. It was a deep, deep pain, although it didn't seem strong enough to have reached it's full potential yet. Link didn't dodge, Ganon was right…he was pathetic…the Desert Man raised his sword to throttle it into Link again. How did Link manage to sink so low? But he remembered how much he hated Ganon…he wasn't just going to sit and let this happen, hell no. He released Tala…
Quick and agile, Link used one of his outstretched legs to trip Ganon over before he could deliver the potentially fatal blow, as Ganon released his sword in shock Link made this chance to grab at it while it was in mid-air. Link stood and held the silver blade, pointing it at Ganon's chest.
Ganon's eyes widened in fear as he stood before his enemy, taking a few steps back he noticed that Link followed him, the sword coming closer to his body. Ganon was almost completely defenceless, save his magic. At such close range Link has an incredible upper hand since it took a while for Ganon to muster up enough power to cast a spell.
"Give me Tala's soul and I won't kill you…again" Link said threateningly knowing even the most despicable characters in life had to be given an option.
Not wishing to risk his life in another battle, Ganon ran for it, of course, Link would follow him, but with such a wound it would be nearly impossible for him to keep up. He leapt unsteadily onto his black horse who broke into an instant gallop away from the hero who was dangerously close – running as fast as his human legs could carry him. Link tried to slash at Ganon, but the man had evaded him yet again. Link kept on chasing his enemy, it was hopeless, he knew it, but seeing the soul clutched in Ganon's palm made him run hard…it was so close yet so far…
Soon Link found himself clutching the wound on his shoulder as the pain suddenly peak, it was enough to make his hairs stand on end, he collapsed on the winter grass of the Hyrule field, he looked upwards to see the shadowy figure he had been chasing racing off in the distance.
As the pinnacle of the pain subsided Link was able to stand again, he made his way over to Tala's lifeless form, he looked over his shoulder to notice that Tomus had left. Link put his sword back into it's carrier and then strode over to Tala and picked her up – there was no way he was leaving her out in the dark like this… 'Just pretend she's sleeping' he told himself as he carried her, stumbling over the bridge into the Kokiri village…
Welll...wasn't that exciting? XD Sorry, I'm really bad at writing action and I know it! Tried to use tonnes of description here, but probably failed hopelessly...don't miss Tala too much, okay?
But before I dismiss you, REVIEW! Or you shal not be getting ANY chocolate next time! (I may bring the Pringles anyways XD)
