Chapter Two – Enter the Shadow Realm

Link had told the maids who cared for the children when he and Zelda weren't around to take care of them while he left. They were going to get rewards handsomely for their task as long as they did it. The guards were set to guard his two boys and the two women while he was away. No one was allowed to get near them, not even Zelda, he had instructed.

The enclosed parchment had stated that wherever he played the Land of Shadows on the ocarina, he would shift realms and stay in exactly the same place. So, he decided to head to the land where he had last seen the double dressed in black, the Water Temple.

The trip was quick and precise. He stood on the mound and looked over the gleaming lake with a smile on his face. Thoughts and memories had appeared when he and Sheik had met here…

Flashback – Past

"As the water rises, the evil is vanishing from the lake… Link you did it!" A deep tenor said softly.

After stepping into the portal that took him back to the isle, he stood looking into the water when a shadow had appeared and looked into the water with him. He spoke after Link had defeated Morpha, the evil curse on the Water Temple. Ruto had been the chosen Sage for the temple, to lend him power to defeat Ganon.

Sheik smiled under his mask and said, "Did Ruto want to thank me? I see… We have to return peace to Hyrule for her sake, too. Don't we? Look at that, Link… Together, you and Princess Ruto destroyed the evil monster! Once again, the lake is filled with pure water. All is as it was here."

The man moved back a little and Link turned fast, snatching his hand before he could disappear, "Please, stay a little longer?"

Those red eyes softened a little as the man shook his head, "I cannot stay, not even for you sweet hero. You're next task await you."

"Wait! I've just… Well," a blush crept over the hero's cheeks as he spoke, "I've never felt so connected to another person… I just… Don't know."

The ninja smiled again and couldn't stop it. Sheik brought Link's hand to his lip and kissed the top of it through his mask. He let it go and leapt into the air, disappearing once again.

Present Once Again

Sighing, Link made sure all was attached to him and then dove into the water. He swam quickly and moved into the temple. His adventure, his pain, his life was just beginning.

The temple was just as he had left it. It was just overgrown with thick weeds that snaked down the sides of the stone. He remembered this temple well. It was probably the most difficult. The contraptions to raise the water, to lower it, it had taken the hero a long time to figure out.

His trip up to the top room, the Boss Room, was quicker because of the vines. They were thick and lush with life; it was almost refreshing to see that life had returned to the temple.

The room was as it was though, if not darker. The temple was still purified, but there seemed to be an evil presence here. He sighed and turned his back on the room. He made his way though the temple, trying to find that room of mirrors as he called it. Finally, he found his way inside.

The room was also as it was, except the twig of a tree that had been there was now a full-grown tree. It looked evil though, deranged. It was tall and lush as much as anyone can expect from a tree, but it was wrong, distorted. The trunk and branches were as black as night itself and it seemed to be bleeding. The leaves were a very pale gray that dripped blood into the puddle of water that covered the room. The puddle itself was now black as the tree itself…

He moved into the room slowly and cautiously, not sure if he should even try to find the dark mirror of himself. He looked around and shrugged as he brought the flute to his lips and played the strange song with ease.

He slipped the thing away and looked around, nothing. Maybe it didn't work? But the answer came quickly. The pool that was now shrouded in shadow came alive. Hands reached up, either of the dead or of evil or what, and they started to drag him down. Their touches froze him, like getting touched by a ghoul. It dragged him slowly into itself and when he blinked next, he was back in the room. The only difference was that it was brighter, and the tree looked right.

"That room, after our battle, became a portal. The two swapped placed putting our perfect tree in your world that was plagued by good, and your righteous tree ended up here. And now you have the guts to enter my realm?" The mocking voice rang through the room.

"I've been trapped in here! When I lost to you, it bound me, alive to this room! All because of you and that accursed sword! Why do you dare enter my domain? To murder me?" The voice laughed hard and the dark form fell from the tree and landed in front of it.

He, like Link, had changed. But this dark form was bigger than link. He was taller, broader in the shoulders, and more evil looking than last time. His eyes were as red and the blood that had leaked from the tree in his world, his hair was gray. The cap he wore had a helmet base with wing shaped bones coming out of the side. Crimson ran down his neck from the black beaded necklace. The bones in the necklace dug into his neck causing him to bleed. He wore a black cloak that was fastened on his chest by a yellow eye and a dangle red jewel closer to his stomach. He much or less wore a dark green tunic like Link, but it was in tatters with the triforce hanged near his knee. The handle of the dark master sword showed behind his back, and in the creature's hands was a long, metal whip.

"Like what you see? I know I do," he grinned, as he looked Link over. "You've grown, but we no longer image each other exactly. Only in face…"

The mans face, do to his large build, was a bit thicker, more defined, masculine than that of Link's face. It had an evil grin as he stared at his foe.

Finally, Link felt himself speak, "I did not come here to fight or murder anyone… I…" He looked down in shame, "I need your help."

"Ha! You really are something," he raised his arm and cracked the whip forward hard, missing Link only by an inch, "so young and shameless that you come here requesting my help! How dare you do such a thing!" The man screamed and lashed again and again, still just missing him.

This went on for ten minutes or so, Dark Link just lashing at him, and Link only dodging. He never drew his sword, just dodged. Finally, Link thought of one small solution…

"Please," he finally stopped and knelt before the dark being, "I'll give you whatever it is that you want."

Dark Link's POV

This amused him. He laughed as the poor Hylian knelt before him and begged. He lashed out his whip and it tore into the man's clothing and skin across his chest. Again and again he whipped him. The hero never cried out, but he wanted to. It showed on his face.

"Anything you say?" He whipped him across the back, "I would want begging, but I already have that as you've submitted to me… No I want something else. I want you. Mind, flesh, and soul, I want you. I want to make you suffer as I've suffered these long years!" The dark elf shouted.

"Have it," was all the young blond said.

His eyes widened a little. Was he really submitting without a fight? There was something wrong here. The fire that had been in the man's eyes those many years ago was now gone. It was filled with doubt, fear, pity, and great sadness. It was pathetic.

"Fine then. First, tell me what happened that might drive me to help you first," he sighed and lowered his arm, but still held the whip, just in case.

Link told him everything. From the dreams, to the temple, to the letter with the two songs, he spilled his guts out on the situation. Dark Link knew of the temple, and the Order. Ganon had told him of the foolish Order he had created. But he had been tainted by evil when he told them. The dark being had been told that after Link was destroyed, Ganon would destroy the Order for good. But Link's story was too good to be true. He was suffering, perfect. Only a little more suffering and hurt, and he would be broken. Dark Link wanted him broken and beaten. That would be victory.

"I will help you. But first, stand up you pathetic thing," and as the man rose, Dark Link approached him, "I want what you promised to me for helping. And, when you scream out, it will be my name I have given myself. It's Damien."

Damien laughed softly to himself as he stood in front of the elf. When he asked Link if he knew what he would do to him, the elf only nodded as a tear slid down his cheek. Damien laughed again as his hands slid down to Link's hips and further south.

"You will scream my name before the nights over." He laughed and pressed his lips hard against the hero's.

End Chapter Two – Enter the Shadow Realm

Okay, now… It's been a long time since I wrote because I lost inspiration for this story. I found it again, so I'm going to write more often now. I'm going to change the stories rating to M for the next chapter. Though, those who are not into rape, don't read Chapter 3, nothing will happen in the story except Link being violated. There will only be a chapter or two like this through the whole story. So, if you don't like Man on Man sex or Rape, don't read chapter 3. Wait for 4. Well, I'm going to write both chapters today or tomorrow hopefully. The Ice Storm has given me plenty of time off.
