Points Of Authority
The horrifying groans coming from the throne room echoed further as Zelda ran through the halls and down the stairs, blindly following RK as she saw her jump to match her running, they finally exited the castle, Zelda looked back as she kept running and noticed it getting darker and more gruesome, her heart raced quicker, what could have happened to her hero on her absence?
RK jumped onto Epona's back and urged Zelda to do the same, she quickly mounted her and RK pulled the reigns, making Epona race towards the safety that was housed on Lon Lon Ranch.
Tetra had to jump aside from the striding horse as it ran through the small space between the house and the stables, Epona finally stopped at the entrance of the open space that the ranch offered for the horses to walk, RK jumping off and sitting on a fence, eye fixated on the castle far beyond ranch walls, Tetra ran to the horse to help Zelda down, recognizing Epona she looked around "Where's Link?" she asked Zelda, Zelda merely looked at her and then at the far view of the castle, Tetra followed her gaze and groaned "That idiot actually dared to go on his own!?"
"He wasn't planning to" answered RK, gaze never moving from the castle view.
Tetra looked at RK and then at Zelda "What the hell is going on?" Zelda was at a loss of words, unable to process everything that was happening, a gust of wind flew by, dark dust being carried by it.
RK lowered her head "He is abusing my patience" she stated.
Tetra frowned "Someone tell me what's happening!!" at her yell pirates came from the house and stables, wondering what had upset their captain so badly, Malon walked out of the house as well, seeing Epona's master absent she ran to Zelda and Tetra, the wind growing in speed.
At the sight of her friend Zelda choked a few words "Link… He's in danger"
"Possessed is more accurate" stated RK, the three women turned to her, RK's smile absent in her expression and in place appeared a deadly glare "No one mistreats my friends" her voice turned low and dangerous, despite sounding barely above a whisper it managed to reach the ears of everyone in the ranch.
"What do you mean 'possessed'?" Tetra dared to ask, defying the creature for being unclear.
"The dark man has taken possession of his mind, even though to a start Link was immune"
"Then how did he manage to do it now?" Malon pressed, Tetra and Zelda both looking slightly amazed by her sudden surge of courage.
"Using my abilities he managed to store his energy inside Zelda's, Link blindly went to look for them and never realized what was nesting inside him"
"Well is there nothing we can do?" Zelda begged for the answer.
RK looked down, the deadliest smile she could muster darkening her frame "Collect your men, I am taking charge" she looked at Tetra, paralyzing her with her stare before she nodded, calling to every pirate in the ranch to join in "You" she directed her gaze to Zelda and Malon, RK's smile softening "We will save our friend" Zelda and Malon gave her a nod in agreement as they approached RK to hear her plans.

Link had been walking for what he felt to have been an entire day, the scenario he was in hadn't changed, he was tired of seeing dark, tired of the putrid stench of blood and tired of not knowing where he was or if he was anywhere to begin with.
He looked around once more, nothing but darkness stared back at him, he sighted and slumped down on the floor, he stared thinking about what his body could be doing right now, assuming of course that this body wasn't his true body, he had wondered if Zelda and RK had made it out in time before he turned on himself, he had wondered if this was just a dream, he sighted, wherever he was he wasn't going anywhere for a while, there were no weapons in his inventory -Which was what made him believe to not be truly awake in the first place- and no trace of anything that could change his vision to a brighter scene.
"Link"
He suddenly looked around, was his mind playing tricks on him once more? He was growing tiresome of that as well.
"Link"
He covered his ears, he had had enough of these mind tricks, he would have at least expected this place to be solitary.
"Link"
Despite his ears being covered he could still hear the voice as clear as before, if not clearer, he then looked up, a blinding light catching his eye, he was perplexed, as blinding as the light was it didn't disturb him in the slightest.
His surroundings morphed, the darkness slowly dissipated and what he once thought it to have been nothing but a dark wasteland was now a spring surrounded by small greenish mountains and covered in luscious pink trees and clear green grass, the evening sun standing still in time, giving the spring an orange glow that made it all the more breathtaking, he looked up, the trees let the leaves fall as if they were drops of rain, slowly and gently raining down on him, and the smell of wild flowers eliminating the stench of blood completely, a sudden feeling of calm washed over him, he wanted nothing more than to lie under the shade of the trees and rest his weary mind from what had happened to him, that is, until he saw it.
White paws, dark fur, strong blue eyes and the familiar smell of the forest, he had fought evil beasts very similar to this wolf, but he refused to move from his sitting position, something inside telling him there was nothing to fear.
The wolf approached him, his eyes fixated on Link's own blue ones "Link" he called mentally.
Link's eyes widened slightly "You are the one who has been calling me?" the wolf nodded once, careful never to break eye contact.
"I have been watching you" Link's brows furrowed in determination to listen to what the wolf had to say "I never would have thought that there was someone from far lands that shared so many things with me, my unique name being one of them"
Link's eyes widened in realization "Are you…"
"Though I no longer have a body of my own, I have not died" the wolf stated.
Link looked at the wolf for a second, "What happened to you", the wolf took his time to examine him before answering his question "The power your friend wields is strong beyond comprehension, she is capable of many things that could either keep balance of our dear countries or create oblivion at will, at the hands of evil, Ganondorf can accomplish anything, even controlling he who holds the power of light. With your friend's power he was able to detach my soul from my body, who is now a servant in his castle, since I also possess the power of light that come from the guardian spirits of my country I was able to not wither but turn into this holy beast"
Link took a moment to take this all in "You have saved me from darkness, haven't you?"
The wolf lowered his head "As much as it would please me to rip Ganondorf's throat with my bare fangs the only thing I could manage to do was shed light on your darkened mind"
"Is there… Anything that can be done to prevent his hold of my mind?" the wolf didn't look at him, only curved his paws to lie on the patch of soft grass below.
"Your friend might be able to do something about it, in the meantime, I will stay here with you and keep the darkness from completely overpowering you" Link looked down, his eyes saddened by the news, then he moved his head up and looked at the beautiful spring.
"Did you create this?" the wolf lifted his head to look at him, relaxing a bit as he moved his body more comfortably on the grass.
"This is a small fishing spot in the upper Zora's river by my home, in my travels up there I would often stay here for hours, the serenity here makes you drift from the world, making this place your heaven" Link nodded in agreement, easing his body on the grass and staring at the twilit sky, he closed his eyes finally finding a place to ease his mind.

The sewers mirrored the sounds of footsteps in every tunnel as princess, pirate captain and a few crewmen followed the directions given by RK, "She said by this point we'd be just below the dungeon floors, the previous castle had poorly kept dungeons as they were, my father believing that they were of no need, I also believe Ganondorf has no need for them, for he executes without taking hostages, we should be able to break the floor easily" said Zelda as she looked up, mentally calculating how far RK said they should have gone to be at the spot she had mentioned.
Tetra signaled two of her crewmen and instantly pulled the hammers from their belts, starting to hit the ceiling with all their might, after a few seconds the ceiling started to cave in, a sign that they had to back off, the newly made hole revealed the dim light of the fire that lit up the torches in the dungeon.
Tetra skillfully jumped up using the debris as the stepping and helped Zelda up, waiting for the rest of the pirates to climb on their own, "RK said that the majority of the fiends inhabiting this place is in the lower levels, such as the courtyards and first two floors, if we manage to destroy them RK will start regaining her power"
Tetra pulled her sword "Say no more" she quickly headed for the dungeon exit followed by only a few of her men, the rest staying to protect the princess as instructed.
Zelda pulled out her bow and golden arrows, "This way" she instructed, moving further inside.
"But the exit is the other way around" mentioned a pirate.
She looked back at him "I have to make sure of something" she move quickly to the last door on the hallway, where she had last seen her caretaker, she quickly opened the door and peered inside, satisfied to find the bounds on the walls had been broken, and her captives lay dead on the floor, she turned back and headed for the exit, joining Tetra in the fight.
"This is madness… I don't know how to use a bow, let alone fight!" Malon told herself as she waited outside for the guard to show any blank spot that she could fire at, shaking uncontrollably as she waited "I should be healing! That's what I can do best!" she gripped the bow tighter and looked again, the guard still showing no weakness, she sighted and looked around, the pirates at her side had already secured the area, leaving the upper floor bridge watchers to her, RK happily flinging her feet back and forth on the broken stone wall beside her.
"He's approaching, you better prepare yourself" Malon looked at her completely flustered, unwillingly shaking and gripping the bow close to her chest.
"Why have you given me this job! I don't know the slightest bit about archery!" she complained.
RK barely shrugged "I just figured you'd try your best at saving our friend whose body is now serving the evil man up there" Malon's fear turned into determination by her words, she shakily gripped the bow tighter and placed an arrow ready to be fired, as the guard walked into her blank spot she shot the arrow, giving a slight yelp as the arrow fired, it hit the guard in the forehead perfectly, making it fall to the ground.
Malon jumped in excitement "I did it!" but then suddenly yelped and ran to the side and hid behind the wall RK was perched in as many arrows landed on her side and above her.
"I think you made them mad" RK mocked, the smile clearly stating she was having fun.
Malon glared at her "This is not funny!" pirates hearing her complaints turned around to the scene and defeated the remaining archers, she thanked the pirates and regained her composure, RK's smile clearly disturbing her.
"All is clear" RK cocked her head.
"Are you sure?" Malon then fell to the floor as the floor started to tremble, skeletal hands prying out of the dirt, soon enough the deceased were crawling their way out of the floor and with sword in hand were walking towards the pirates and Malon, cornering them in what little space they had left, Malon looked up at RK desperately "Aren't you going to do something?"
RK tilted her head to the side once more "I'm afraid of living skeletons" Malon screamed in fear as the dead approached, their bloody screams making them paralyze in place, as the skeleton closer to her lifted his sword he received a golden arrow to the head, crumbling to a dust almost instantly.
Malon and company looked up to the bridges watching Zelda prepare another arrow "Aim for the head!" she yelled at them and fired her arrow, making several other skeletons crumble as well, excited about the news of being able to smash anyone to pieces the pirates hurriedly began to fight, crushing skull after skull in pure excitement.
Tetra smiled as she saw her crew "I taught them that" she announced triumphantly.
Zelda looked at her "They have everything covered, let's move" Tetra nodded and followed Zelda across the bridge, following the next flight of stairs to the second floor, threatening yellow eyes following their every move.
