The Legend of Zelda: Echoes Through Ages

Prologue Part 3: The Third Echo

I am the Mother of Ganon, the Mother of Darkness. Its the thing I think will turn the tide in this eternal war. I found the seal that held Ganon, a creator where the former temple of time lay, where a rune made by the sheikah extends out far across this plateau, a plateau reminiscent of something else. The more things change, the more they stay the same I suppose. But I will be the difference in this battle, I must be. Power is power for a reason, Power could be the thing that saves Hyrule from stagnation, from repeating itself over and over and beginning to move on. I Just want this story to end already, or come to some kind of long lasting conclusion before the next cycle.

Breaking the seal was no easy feat, the Shiekah are getting better at this, I would know their work very well. I nearly died when Ganon finally burst free, and he nearly killed me when I presented myself as his "Mother" I assured him I was speaking metaphorically, but that I would offer my services, and the services of my followers. I also presented to him Items from another world, a world that is tangentially related to our own. What these items are I cannot say or why he must eat them. But they will contribute to the turning of the tide.

My followers and I watched as Ganon began conjuring a little bit of his forces, I had to stop him and explain that perhaps being subtle would be the best course of action. I offer the idea that we send small humanoid forces to try and kill Link and Zelda for now. Like the Yiga or create other false cults to make it seem like you haven't broken out yet, I re made the seal to make sure the Shiekah had no idea Ganon is free, another thing that was not easy. He nearly killed me again, but did accept this course of action. We would bide our time, building up his humanoid forces in the light, and his monster forces in the dark. We set up beneath the plateau, creating a vast fortress of our own.

It was like art watching him work, conjuring new and old monsters, gaining absolute control over various aspects of power, and to be at his side through it all was… Exhilarating… Watching him reform into a gerudo version of himself was interesting to, compacting and dampening his true power into such a 'normal' form was a sight to behold.

Time passed in no time, and I stood upon a balcony overlooking the extending pit that houses the greatest force Ganon has ever cultivated, Link and Zelda would be Thirteen now. Our plans should begin around now… I make sure to let him know this is more to test their power and how much they stack up to his greatness, its no secret that Ganon must be the one to kill Link and Zelda. But we can at least set up some things before the real journey begins. I find it rather odd that he actually listens to me, well less listens and more so takes my advice and debates me on certain points. He has the experience of centuries untold under his belt, he's still as arrogant as ever but this time around he is aware of his shortcomings and he and I would debate this powerful philosophy he held for hours.

He asked me why this was and he replied "You're wise… 'mother' Wisdom has always been part of my downfall. Power, like everything, must change if I'm going to succeed. So for now… You will be my wisdom."
This surprised me greatly, I had no expectations of him actually taking my advice, but i had to try regardless. He and I watched things unfold before us, things actually looked like we may have a solid plan.

This feeling hit me in the heart…

I am the Mother of Ganon, I am the Mother of Darkness… I must be his victory.

-Prologue Part 3: Complete-

Another short one, But I don't want to show my hand entirely. Don't forget too review if you have something constructive to say. After this i will make more conventional dialogue based episodes or chapters, I just wanted these three prologues to set up some parts of what I'm going for with this story. The whole mother of Ganon thing will be a mystery for a while, wether or not its a canon character or one of my own creation is something I haven't neccesarily decided yet. I mean I have ideas. But this whole fanfic is just me practicing my writing.
Regardless. I hope you all enjoyed, and Ill see you for the next part.
