Chapter 1
Part 2
The accomplice refound
A pain lanced through his chest, a pain that had been there for over a year. He forced himself to sit up, snarling angrily at himself, sweat beading his brow. And still he was forced back to the floor by bonds he could not see. And it hurt him so.
But the pain that the Hero of Time had bestowed upon him was nothing compared to the pain that had crippled his ego after that defeat. He could have - No, he told himself, Should have - defeated Link. And he didn't. He was killed, banished to this dismal hole known as Hell.
And then He appeared before him. The Shadow felt his bonds lifted, his pain gone. He sat up, looking around. He saw a towering, red haired, dark skinned man standing above him, smiling the smile he had approached him with years before.
"I have a proposition for you, Darkness of the Hero. How would you like to rule Hyrule with me?"
Shadow frowned. This all sounded very familiar, a fact he pointed out to Ganondorf. The King of Evil let out a long, billowing laugh.
"I may have said the same things so long ago…But now, I have the means to achieve it."
"And how do you know this, my lanky friend."
Ganondorf flexed his muscles.
"The Triforce told me ."
He had used the word, the word that automatically drew Shadow's attention. It was the promise of power from the mystical Power of the gods that had sucked him into Ganondorf's armies previously. He wouldn't be suckered so easily.
"What's in it for me, Gerudo?"
Ganondorf sneered. "Immortality."
Shadow actually laughed at this.
"You told me that last time. And I got this scar!"
He pointed to the scar that still pained him, the death blow that Link had dealt him with the blade of Evil's Bane, the Master Sword. Ganondorf seemed not to care, however.
"You will be better equipped then last time. And this time, you will not fail me."
And with that, The King of Evil disappeared. Shadow Link sighed.
"I never get a fair say."
