Have I ever told you guys how much I LOVED Zelda? Just incase I haven't.. I love Zelda n.n
I've been reading WONDERFUL DLxL fics and they all inspire me to write one myself. I can't remember all the names but you know who you are! ;DDD
I can't really explain what this story is going to be about. I have a slight idea in my head, but for now. The story will just be coming out in chapters. I'll do whatever that feels right.
The title ''A Storm in the Desert'' is a wonderfffffful composition by idk who made it, but it's great. You can look it up on Youtube.
And to make me shut the fuck up, here is chapter one.
"Time passes… People move.. Like a river's flow, it never ends… A childish mind will turn to noble ambition… Young love will become deep affection… The clear's water surface reflects growth."
A harp began playing a soft song, but only the first, simple notes. They repeated.
"Did you get that, Hero?" a young man dressed in an attire that seemed like bandages spoke. His name was Sheik.
A blonde-haired boy, around the age of 17*, nodded to the mysterious person in front of him. He reached into his pocket to take a small, blue instrument. He neared his lips to the mouthpiece, inhaling softly and letting his eyes close.
Gliding his fingers almost skillfully over the holes on the ocarina, a peaceful melody echoed throughout the walls of the room they were currently in.
Sheik placed his fingers on his harp, lightly strumming them to carry out the harmony.
Both men swayed; they could feel the music dance around them. The song ended and they both looked up at each other. Sheik's eyes narrowed slightly at the other.
"Link.. That is the Serenade of Water. Play that tune to get to the starting point of the Water Temple.. Save the Zoras from this fate.."
A snap of white light suddenly blinded Link's eyes, causing him to shield them with his hands.
"Good luck…"
The young hero sighed as he stood at the point the Serenade of Water had warped him. He was at Lake Hylia, but it was so different since the last time he was here.
The lake, once filled with brilliant waters that shimmered greatly under the sun, had barely to no water at all. Water only stood in a puddle-looking thing. Navi shot up.
"Link, I think that's where the entrance to the Water Temple is! Do you still have the boots?" the small but energetic circle of light asked excitedly.
Link nodded shortly. He walked across the bridge, swinging his sword around and killing Keese along the way.
"Make sure you have everything you need.." Navi warned him, "We need to finish this temple as soon as we can!"
"Mhmmm." Link breathed out, walking a few feet into the water before putting the iron boots on. He dragged himself until he felt the boots pulling him underwater.
A slight tightness in his throat reminded him something.
"Link! You forgot to put on the Zora tunic! Hurry up and get to the surface before you pass out from oxygen deprivation!"
The blonde struggled to get one of the boots off. He felt his heart beating rapidly against his chest, making him ever more nervous.
"Calm down.. If I panic and struggle…."
He didn't get to finish his thoughts when he felt a strange shadow cover him. His eyes grew heavy and his body parts went limp…
Link coughed up water from his lungs, finally awakening. He looked down to see he was in his blue Zora tunic. To the left of him was his Kokiri tunic folded neatly. The Iron Boots were secured tightly to his feet, and his Kokiri boots were to his right.
Navi appeared, a worried tone in her shrill voice.
"Are you okay? I never saw who it was that did that… Oh, Link! Look where we are!"
The duo looked at their surroundings. It looked like a tower in the middle of water. Looking up they saw rooms that probably could be reached by the water rising.
Link got up, rubbing his temple slowly, "Well we might as well get started. There's no point to stand here gawking at the place."
The tiny fairy silently agreed. Link placed his belongings in his satchel* and ventured on.
A lot of ocarina-playing, water-rising, frustrating hours later…
Link stumbled into a room, the door shutting behind him and bars placing themselves over the door.
"Shit." the hero cursed, taking in the detail of the room.
Water and fog. As far as Link eye's could see. His gaze averted to what looked like an island with a withering lone tree. He cocked an eyebrow.
"What is this place?"
Link took more steps, scanning the tree as he past it. Looking ahead, he saw a door that was barred as well. He walked up to it and reached out to touch it.
"…Link.. Where is your shadow?" Navi inquired.
He looked down at the ground and gasped. There was no shadow there. He just saw the reflection of himself in the shallow water.
His attention was grabbed to the tree, where a strange sillehoute leaned against the tree. Link squinted his eyes to get a better look.
"Get ready for an attack, Link.. You'll never know what will happen, especially in this temple…"
He nodded, placing his left hand on the hilt of the Master Sword. He felt the emblem of the Triforce burn deeply into his skin, making him draw his hand back and hiss in pain.
The figure by the tree smirked, fangs appearing right above his lip.
"Awww, little Hero… Don't know what to do?"
It melted into the sand, disappearing. Link turned around nervously, looking in each direction.
"Where did he go?"
His heart stopped beating when he felt a hand wrap around his stomach; it was an icy touch, it felt like the person was freezing.
"W-What?"
"Shh now Hero, shhhh." The person cooed, the smirk on their face growing wider. In a flash, cold steel was pressed to his neck. "Now, shall we do this the hard way or the easy way?" The other boy licked the shell of Link's ear, causing him to shiver.
"Link!!" Navi was pushed back and trapped in a little dark orb. "Link, hurry! Get out of there and destroy him."
"Daaaw, you would do such a thing, Hero? Wouldn't it be like killing yourself?"
With that, Link was turned around to become face to face with his attacker. His eyes widened and his jaw went ajar.
He looked exactly like him. The only difference was the height, the eye, skin, and hair color. Dark hair with bangs that shadowed his blood-red eyes. Pale skin, even more paler than his own.
His eyes were what creeped him the most.
"Who… Who are you?" Link asked, realizing he couldn't look away from the eyes that were boring into his.
He tsk'd. "Shouldn't you be worrying about your own safety than my name?" That's right. Link had completely forgot about the sword that was placed right in the middle of his throat, though he didn't know exactly why he had forgotten it in the first place.
"But I admire your courage… The Triforce of Courage belongs rightfully to you.. My name? I have many. Demon, Shadow, the Spawn of Devil… But, I do believe the name that my master gave me was.. Dark Link."
XOXOXOXO
Link exhaled, trying to carefully break away from Dark Link's grasp. "Dark Link, eh? So original."
The shadow grinned maliciously. He has a mouth on him.. What wonders he could do with that mouth.
"Eh, I was made for one purpose and one purpose only. To destroy the Hero of Time, yourself, if you have forgotten. Names are not important for living for one purpose." He teased Link, letting him go but keeping the sword at his throat.
"How could I ever possibly forget?" Link said, his words dripping with sarcasm. "Anyway.. Your master.. Who is he?"
Dark Link's smirk grew wider. Link got the full view of the fangs in his mouth.
"Ganondorf."
The moment his words were out of his mouth, the blonde hero unsheathed his sword and swung with half of his might. Dark Link blocked it with ease, chuckling at a feeble attempt.
"Is that all you have, Hero? I suspected someone with such a title would have more strength in his swordsman skills."
Link readied the Master Sword and glared at his twin. "Dark Link--"
"Just call me Dark." He cut off, politely as he could get. Link scowled," Dark,I would wish for you to know, if that was all I had, I'm sure I would be dead by now."
Dark chuckled by the obvious statement. "Sucking up to me already? Jeez, I wouldn't suspect."
The light and shadow fought for what seemed like two hours. None of each got hit, they blocked each other's attacks. Metal scraped against metal and feet ran on the ground.
Link fell to his knees, his chest falling up and down as he panted for air. Dark was doing the same, only in a more calmer state.
"Had enough, Hero?"
He walked over and leaned in front of Link. Their faces were only a few mere inches apart. Dark's sword was placed once again on his throat. He applied pressure, slightly cutting the place on his neck.
Link winced, feeling the blood trickle down off his neck to the sword. Dark smirked.
And then he kissed him.
Sorry about the usual go to water temple., fight DL in room of illusions, kiss all of a sudden. But the kiss is IMPORTANT! And you will find out neeeeext chapter!
