Clash of Time and Wind
Chapter 15: The Mysterious Stranger II
Link walked, deep in conversation with the Killer Bees, down the hill of Windfall. However, they were being spied on.
"Treating a bunch of brats as friends, very close friends," the hooded figure said, spitting. He couldn't believe this. "He got away once, but I am much more powerful than him."
Don't let jealousy get the better of you, a voice in his head said. It was his conscience, in the voice of Daphnes.
What a load of cuckoo crap.
"I'll get him one day, but maybe I'll go a bit easier, seeing he's backed up," the hooded figure plotted from the roof.
"Hey mister, who're you talking to?" a small voice said behind him.
The figure turned. It was a small girl.
"Go away, I'm hatching a scheme to get rid of someone," the figure said back harshly.
When the girl left, the figure jumped down in front of Link and his friends.
"Not you again," Link complained.
"Yes, it's me again, and you can get rid of your little friends now, I have a little thing to settle with you alone!"
"Whatever it is, we have his back," Ivan said threateningly.
"If I wanted, I could destroy you all in an instant," the hooded figure retaliated. "I promise you."
"If it's not fighting you want, what is it?" Link asked scowling.
"For you to lay off the world," the figure said silently. "It's too much for you to handle."
"WHAT!"
"Lay off, you don't know the story, of why Hyrule was doomed, MY LAND was doomed," the figure said dirtily.
"What the…"
"The Hero of Time was never killed, but doomed to immortality in exile and a fiery prison," the hooded figure explained in a somewhat pained voice. "The Hero of Time was in a battle, a duel. It was a year after his triumph against Ganondorf. Still a child, and still innocent, he was defeated mercilessly against his clone, his darkness. Instead of being killed, he was trapped in the depths of Death Mountain!"
"Where the…"
"You might know the tip of it as Dragon Roost Island," the figure said. "Valoo, Rito, they are of course familiar to you."
"But…"
"I am giving you seven days to give this up, and leave it to me!" the figure said. "If you don't, we have a problem!"
The figure disappeared in a whirl of his cloak.
"I am not giving up, there's no way!" Link said firmly.
