"Donskachi, please sit." Ganondorf said, his yellow eyes flashing dangerously. Karrah shook her head.
"No. Not until you tell me what it is that you are wanting to try."
"That is of no consequence."
"It is for me, majesty! I'm the one who will quite possibly be putting my life in your hands, and excuse me if I do not quite trust you, but you didn't exactly make the best first impression." She lifted her chin slightly and held Ganondorf's gaze. He obviously didn't want to tell her what his plan was, and eventually he would tire of her being so demanding, and who knew what he would do then? After all, she was a prisoner, a sheikah, a donskachi, nothing more to him.
"I wish to try and bring back your memories." He said, shocking Karrah into a moment's silence.
"You think you can?"
"It is a possibility, but it might also reset your memory and you'll forget everything again."
"Risk I'm willing to take. But why are you doing this?"
"You may have helpful information of the whereabouts of the princess."
"What makes you think I'd tell you if I remembered?"
"I have my methods." Ganondorf smiled slightly and Karrah swallowed, fear sticking in her throat. He laughed and Karrah clenched her hands into fists. If Ganondorf was the key to her past, then she had to do this. She would work out what to do afterwards. She nodded.
"Do it. If I lose my memory again I won't be forgetting all that much." Ganondorf nodded.
"Your logic makes sense. Sit down and we shall begin."

Karrah sat on the chair, her eyes closed. She could forget everything she had learned since she had originally lost her memory, which wouldn't actually be all that much… but the thought scared her. She felt Ganondorf place his hands either side of her head and felt herself drifting away. It was a strange sensation, almost like she was flying and yet she was stuck firmly on the ground, too heavy to move. Images ran past her eyes, but she couldn't grab any. She could hear music playing, but it was too dark to see where it was coming from. Karrah could feel her heart beating more rapidly as she spun around, could tell she was starting to panic a bit.
"Calm yourself, Karrah." The words were distant, far away, and yet they seemed to seep into her as though the person speaking them was right next to her.
"I'm scared, Ganondorf. If you didn't know what the hell was going on, wouldn't you be?" She hissed quietly into the pitch black of her mind.
"You have to stay calm if this is going to work. You are perfectly safe, nothing can harm you."
"Where is the music coming from?" Karrah was almost crying as the music was joined with the sound of people laughing. She spun around as she heard the sound of someone speaking, though she couldn't hear what they were saying. It was muffled, as though she was hearing things from underwater. There was a woman standing there, short white hair tied up in a short ponytail and wearing purple clothes. She was slightly shorter than Karrah and more solidly built, too. Karrah looked on in horror as the woman spoke to her, but she couldn't hear what was being said.
"Ganondorf, stop this… stop this now! I want it to stop! Get me out of here, this isn't working… Ganondorf, get me out. Get me out now!" She was panicking, she knew she was, but she couldn't help herself. She wanted out, something didn't feel right. Karrah sat up straighter and looked around frantically, breathing heavily. It took her a moment to realise she was grasping Ganondorf's arm and when she did, she found she couldn't let go fast enough.
"Sorry… Please don't make me do that again. Please." She was terrified, though she didn't know what of. And then she was confused. Ganondorf hadn't objected to her touching him, though he did look slightly disapproving of something.
"We'll try again at a later date."
"Why did you stop? Why did you let me stop?"
"It would be no use sending you insane, even if you did remember, as no one would be able to understand anything you were saying."
"Makes sense," Karrah scratched her head, "I um… I guess I… I might have seen someone, even though I don't actually remember who she is."
"What did they look like?" Ganondorf sounded eager, urgent. Karrah frowned, thinking.
"Um… A shorter version of me, older, her hair was tied up in a very short ponytail… I didn't really see her face. I can't really remember anything else."
"You have to."
"Why? Why is me remembering about her so important? Ganondorf, do you know something about me that you aren't saying?" Karrah felt like he did, though he didn't reply. He just looked at her and eventually shook his head.
"Did this woman say anything?" He asked. Karrah shrugged.
"Yes, but I don't know what. When she spoke it sounded like I was under water. But why is she so important? Why did I remember her? Ganondorf… Why can't I remember? And why am I trusting you so much? I barely even know you and I'm nothing but your prisoner. Why is all this happening? Why am I so confused?" Karrah rested her head in her hands, pressing on her eyes, her elbows on her knees. Ganondorf didn't answer and simply left the room.
"Get some rest. We'll try again tomorrow." He said before leaving the room, the small telltale click saying that the door was once again locked.

The woman in purple stood in front of Karrah. They were in a castle courtyard and Karrah was looking around. There was no one else around and she knew the older woman was speaking. She didn't hear any of the words said, though she somehow knew that she had heard them before, though she didn't know what the words were. Karrah looked down at the perfectly green grass and noticed how dark her clothes were, dark blue/green. She looked over her bare shoulders and down her back, admiring the red design sewn onto her sleeveless top.
"Are you listening to me?" The woman asked, making Karrah jump and look down at her in alarm. She had spoken and Karrah had heard her, when only a few seconds ago she hadn't.
"Um… I'm sorry, but I couldn't hear you… Um… this is going to seem weird but… what's your name?" The woman looked at Karrah with an irritated expression on her face.
"This is no time for jokes…" Her voice cut out again, the only other word Karrah heard was 'Ganondorf'.
"I'm sorry, I can't hear what you're saying." She had been so close to finding out who she was, Karrah was sure of it. Why was this happening?

"Ganondorf!" Karrah banged on the door. She was wide awake, terrified, and had to talk to him. She didn't have much hope that anyone would hear her, but she had to try. Besides, he had magic, who knew what he could do? Karrah stepped back as the door was unlocked and opened, revealing a dark haired girl with eyes that changed from grey to hazel and back again.
"What do you want from Ganondorf?" She asked. Karrah blinked a couple of times. The girl didn't speak with an accent she recognised.
"I, ah… I want to talk to him."
"Yeah, well, he's busy."
"It's about me possibly remembering something."
"Don't care. Doesn't change the fact that he's busy." The girl moved to leave the room and Karrah stepped forwards and grabbed her arm. The girl wrenched away with a strength she didn't look like she had.
"I'm sorry, I just… I really need to talk with him."
"I only just managed to get him to go to bed. It's three in the morning. It can wait." Her accent really played with Karrah's mind.
"I… I'm sorry, but where are you from? Your accent is strange and you don't look like anyone else here." The girl grinned.
"Texas."
"What?"
"I'm from Texas in America on another world in another reality. My name is Ren. Nice ta meet ya."
"Karrah… Another world in another reality?"
"Yup. Now go and occupy yourself. I'll tell Ganondorf you want to talk when he wakes up. Until then, have fun."
"With what? I'm locked in a room with nothing to do."
"That's your problem, not mine." And with that, Ren left the room. There was nothing for Karrah to do but to sit down and wait to see when Ganondorf came. Sit, wait, and think. Another world… strange prospect… certainly intriguing.

Author's note: Ren is based on a friend of mine and I wanted to make things as accurate as possible, that's why I'm involving Texas in this. Things might get a bit weirder with the relationships between Ren and Ganondorf and Ren and Karrah :)
