Between the time of the posting of Chapter Two

Three of this story, I still haven't managed to own Zelda.
And I never will.

--------Author's Note:
----Ganondorf doesn't like his son very much, does he? I've gotten back
into game making lately, but I'll try my best not to let it interrupt my writing.
Maybe I'll find a website to host the file when I'm done, for those who like
Mario. Even though this is entirely the wrong category to be talking about Mario
in. And yes, I'm very much aware that Zoras lay eggs. But then, Zoras are more
humanlike than fishlike, so can't the process of laying such eggs be similar to the
process of giving birth a little bit? It's not like Zelda ever explains in explicit detail
how those eggs come to be... So, to clear up any confusion, yes. Link's child is
going to be born. From an egg. If you have any issues with that, well... why are
you reading such a strange romance in the first place?

Chapter Three: Mentis Parasitos
-
-
------The moon rose high above Hyrule, though it remained unseen behind the cold, black wall of
clouds that covered the land in darkness. Most of the populus were safely asleep in their homes,
excluding a few guards who were taking the night shifts defending their respective kingdoms, two of
whom were a pair of Zorans guarding the entrance to Zora's Domain. The large cavern zorans called
home was a welcome change to the pitch blackness outside, as the walls were lined with torches bright
enough to see anything in the main cavern.
------"I can't believe that little punk Hylian is going to have a son..." one of the guards said coldly.
------"Well, it was bound to happen eventually." the second, slightly taller guard said. "I can't say I'm
exactly pleased, thanks to him, I lost my job as executioner..."
------"Actually, that was the red cloaked man's fault. I, on the other hand, lost my job as prison guard
because he tricked me, and now I'm stuck doing night shift." sighed the shorter guard, rubbing his neck
a little bit. "My neck's still sore now and then because of him..."
------"Yes, it's a pity such a criminal is allowed to marry our beloved Ruto." the ex-executioner lamented.
"But it's too late for regrets now. We might as well make the best of the situation and work our way back
up the job ladder."
------"I've already had to do night shift, it bites." whined the first guard.
------"Well, atleast we still have jobs." the taller gaurd said optimistically. "Besides, it's not like this is
a difficult task. No one's broken into the Domain at night in years."
------As if the very words triggered it, the torches in the Doman started vanishing one by one, as if
some invisible creature was consuming the flames one at a time. The two guards looked at eachother
as the last of the torches went out, enveloping them in such darkness they could barely see eachother's
outlines. "I'm... sure it was just a gust of wind or something..." the taller guard said with a nervous laugh.
------"There was no wind..." the shorter guard said, his voice shaken a little. Suddenly, a bright purple
light from beside them illuminated the main cavern, letting them see again. The pair of guards slowly turned
to face a very tall man in a black cloak, purple flames flickering out of the long sleeves of it, a pair of purple
eyes shining through the darkness of the hood as the man smirked wickedly.
------"Halt! Who goes the-" the taller guard started to say, before the cloaked man's fist slammed hard
into his chest, sending him screaming & falling backwards into the large pool at the bottom of the main
cavern, the ex-Executioner looking like a purple meteor before he hit the surface of the water. The shorter
guard gasped, starting to run with a cry of "INTRUDER!", before the cloaked man grabbed his leg and
jerked him up into the air, punching him in the face and slamming him into the nearby wall, knocking him
out effectively as his face smoked from the flaming punch. As the purple flames faded, darkness enveloped
the domain once again as the cloaked man began dashing up the large path, seeking the medical ward.
------"Stop right there!" another guard exclaimed, dashing down the path after the intruder, a long spear
tightly in hand. As he reached the cloaked man, however, the man seemed to vanish into thin air. "What the.."
the Zoran guard muttered, skidding to a halt. "Where'd he go?"
------Suddenly, he felt fingers tighten around his neck as the cloaked man grabbed him by his throat, holding
him up high into the air and giving him a quick jerk, his neck snapping with a sickening crack before the cloaked
man slung him to the ground and calmly walked into a nearby tunnel. "I had always heard such good things
about Zoran soldiers, too." the man said in disappointment as he walked through a couple of small caverns,
before finding a room with a man in black armor and red hair lying on a hospital bed. The cloaked man
glared at the unconscious Garland lying before him. "You're a lot more trouble than you're worth..." he
muttered icily as he grabbed his son and slung him over his shoulder, starting to walk out of the medical ward.
"Stay where you are!" a voice shouted angrily from the exit of the medical ward as four Zoran soldiers stood in
shining teal armor, long, jagged partisans in hand, each one pointed at the exiled Gerudo King. A couple of them held
bright torches in hand as all of them glared at the cloaked man, who had come to a stop in front of the group.
"Put King Garland down, and surrender yourself." one of the guards demanded. The man in the black cloak snarled
as his eyes flashed violet once more, piercing the shadows of his hood.
------"Get out of my way..." Ganondorf demanded icily, though his words fell upon deaf ears as the guards stood
their ground, ready to skewer the man if he made any wrong moves.
------"Surrender yourself now, or we'll have to use force!" another of the guards shouted. Ganondorf chuckled
darkly.
------"Imbeciles... you have no idea who I am, do you!" he said as the torches the soldiers were carrying
suddenly went out, the fire seeming to be pulled into Ganondorf before they vanished into thin air.
-
-
------"Ow... am I.. alive...?" muttered the guard Ganondorf had held up and punched in the face as he slowly
regained consciousness, staring up the dark path he was lying upon. His left eye, as well as everything around
it, felt as if it were on fire, yet his left eye felt surprisingly cold. As he tried to adjust his vision to the surrounding
darkness, suddenly multiple streams of violet flames errupted from the medical ward, blasting many Zoran guards
off their feet and into the large pool in the middle of the Domain. "What the.." he muttered weakly as he watched
the streams of fire fade away, hearing heavy footsteps and the flapping of a long black cloak as Ganondorf ran
by him and out of the domain. The guard groaned, too much in pain to try and stop the gerudo man. "First I helped
a criminal Hylian escape, now I let a psychopath break in and kidnap our allied nation's king..." he sighed. "I'm
going to lose my job for this..."

------Elsewhere, in the heart of ancient ruins in Gerudo Valley, within a wide black room with tall stone
pillars and many green torches, a woman with long, flaming red hair and an even longer black gown flowing
behind her paced back and forth impatiently in front of her throne. Her minions, countless men and women
in black cloaks to either side of the long red carpet piercing the center of the room, all stood in silence, for fear
of further invoking their mistress' rage.
------"Does each of you understand what a grave mistake it is to think you can escape me should you do
ANYTHING to jeapordise my plans!" the woman yelled at her minions. "You already know the fate of
Fredrick. Even in death, you cannot escape me." she said icily. The cloaked ones all said "Yes, mistress,"
at the same time before their leader continued.
------"I can only hope you were able to collect mature eggsacs of the parasite to hide in Kokiri and spread
their infestation?" the woman asked. One of the cloaked figures stepped out from the rest and stood before
the woman, kneeling before her.
------"My mistress, forgive us... but there was an accident in the caves." the man said. The woman ended her
pacing in front of the cloaked one, smirking down at him, her eyes beginning to glow a faint green.
------"What sort of accident?" she asked, her voice seeming almost cheerful in comparison to the tone it had
took five mintues ago.
------"It.. It was not our fault, Oracle.. there was a cave-in, the entrance is blocked, one of our own is
still trapped within the cavern...
------"Oh, how dreadful." she said with a chuckle. "I hope he knows how to fend off the parasites, lest they
consume him entirely... Did you bring the stones back?"
------"No... he .. he was holding them all... as you instructed..." the cloaked man said nervously.
------"So you're saying it's my fault they're lost?" the woman said, taking a seat in her black, twisted throne,
several huge spikes sticking out of the sides of it. She continued to smirk, amused by how terrified the man
before her was as he began trembling.
------"N-No, of coarse not... I.. I was merely... You could easily retrieve them.. y-yourself, my mistress..."
------"Yes, but then what would the fun in having minions if I didn't use them?" she said, brushing some of her
long red hair out of her face. "Fear not, however. Your mistress is not without mercy. When my prophecy
is fullfilled and everything falls into place, you will all be rewarded greatly for your loyalty. For now, where
is the worthless Gerudo and his brat of a son?"
------"They will arrive any moment." the man kneeling before her replied, slowly backing away to rejoin the
rest of his fellow cult members.
------"Good. After all the trouble my minions have been causing me lately, it's about time something went
right." the Oracle said with a sigh. "The few of you who were taken into custody could have ruined
everything. You are a fine example of what to do when in that sort of situation. Remain loyal to me, and
you will not be forgotten."
------"Yes, mistress." the multitude of cloaked figures said in a monotonous tone. They all turned as a large
pair of black doors opened on the opposite side of the room from the Oracle's throne, a tall man in a black
cloak carrying Garland over his shoulder walking into the room.
------"Ganondorf, I was beginning to think you wouldn't be making it." the woman said, standing up once
again. "Bring the fool to me."
-
------Ganondorf nodded from under his hood, tossing his son roughly onto the floor at the Oracle's feet.
The redhead glared at the armored king before her, waving her hand towards him as a thin, frosty mist
seemed to shoot out of her sleeve, passing over Garland's face. "You may rejoin the others, Ganondorf."
-
------Ganondorf bowed, a faint growl seeming to come from him as he took his place among the rest
of the minions. Garland's eyes shot open as the mist in front of his face vanished, and slowly tried to
stand up. "Wh.. what's going on...?" he muttered groggily as he slowly rose from the ground in front
of the Oracle. As he got up however, he felt someone's knee slam between his legs, flames errupting
behind him for a split second as a black stone chair arose from the ground, some mysterious force
slamming him backwards into the cold hard rock seat. The Oracle snapped her fingers as the Gerudo
King landed, long, black chains snaking out from the ground to wrap around him and bind him to
the stone chair.
------Garland smirked at the Oracle as she walked towards him. "You may have captured me..." he
said in a strained voice, still very, very much in pain from the woman's assault, "but it's too late... The
Hylian boy is on his way to stop you as we speak..."
------The Oracle returned to smirk as she draped her legs over Garland's lap, taking a seat on him.
"Yes, a pity for him he'll be dead before the night is through." the woman said with a dry laugh.
------"He's very resourceful, he'll know how to stop them. Trust me, you can't underestimate
that boy." Garland said. "Both myself and my father have made that mistake in the past."
------"Oh, my spies have already realized this. The parasite won't be able to touch him." the Oracle
said carelessly. Garland blinked, tilting his head a bit.
------"... and... this doesn't anger you... why? It ruins your plans."
------"Oh, you poor, simple minded child." the woman said, patting Garland on the head softly a
couple of times. "Taking over a world requires years of patience, otherwise I wouldn't have the
patience to deal with the incompetence of you, your father, or a few of my misguided minions." she
said. "A plot so simple as spreading a deadly parasite has far too many flaws. All my future subjects
would be dead, for example. I want the world at my feet, not in ruin."
------"Well, I'm sure you didn't create them for no reason." Garland said. "And whatever that
reason was must have been crucial. Regardless of what you say-"
------"You do so wish to be the noble hero, don't you?" the Oracle said, narrowing her eyes
a little bit. "How dull. Honestly, I thought being the bad guy was the latest fad with young
people, not being the galiant knight rushing to the rescue..."
------"I have a lot to make up for." Garland muttered, before being slapped across his face.
------"Ungrateful brat." the Oracle said. "I gave you immense power, and you repay me by attempting
to rebel and thwart my schemes..."
------"Your power is nothing but death." Garland said with a scowl. "I made the mistake of being
seduced by the powers of darkness, but it won't happen again. It isn't worth it."
------"Fool, you cannot change your fate. You are mine." the Oracle said with a smirk. "The mark on your
wrist is proof of that. I'm afraid, despite your noble intentions, you are still nothing but my little Gerudo
puppet, and have done nothing but help your mistress."
------"What are you talking about? I told Link exactly where to find your little hive! He's probably halfway
there right now!" Garland exclaimed. "Have you lost your sanity?"
------"Why do you think I created the parasite in the first place? For the sole purpose of destroying
Link. As you said, I cannot underestimate him." the Oracle said. "And I have a little surprise planned for
him within the hive of my little pets. In predictably defying me, you've only ensured my victory."
------"You're bluffing." Garland said, before yelling out in agony as his body was covered in green
electricity once more, the Oracle sitting in his lap unharmed the entire time.
------"This is what happens if you so much as think of defying me." she said loudly, her voice piercing
the anguished cries of Garland. "Jack disobeyed me by explaining to Hylian officials what the mark on
his wrist was. He's now trapped with the parasite. Garland disobeyed me to try to save Hyrule, and in
doing so has sent its own hero to doom it. I'm far too busy now to deal with every fool who defies me.
As such, from this point on, any further misconduct will be met with the penalty of death."
------She turned to stare at Ganondorf, her own cruel, shimmering, amused eyes locked with his cold,
emotionless ones. "So should any of you be getting any bright ideas of betraying me, you had best be
more concerned about your own well being."

------Link shivered slightly in his blue tunic as he walked through Hyrule Field, tightly clutching a map
in one hand, little puffs of fog coming from his mouth now and then. Still strapped to his back in an
X shape were the large silver sword forged by Biggoron, and the slightly larger, more sinister looking
blade taken from Ganondorf years ago. The Kokiri blade was strapped to his side as a backup weapon,
and many other things such as a quiver of arrows, bow, boomerang, bombs, and a hookshot, were
attached in various locations. Where he kept all of these things... no one knows, though at the moment,
none of them were doing him any good. "According to this map, the hive should be around here
somewhere..." Link said to himself, becoming annoyed as he looked around, continuing to slowly walk
forwards, before suddenly half of his right leg seemed to fall into the ground.
------"What the heck!" Link shouted as he tried to pull his leg free, only to have it sink all the way in, along
with half of his other leg. "Crap, I think I FOUND IIIIT!" he yelled as the ground beneath him caved in,
plunging him down a seemingly bottomless shaft. The Hylian stared up in horror as he fell, the small bit of
light from outside being quickly consumed by darkness as the shaft slowly bent into a slide, finally tossing him
into a wide open cavern of some sort. He cried out in slight panic, his heart racing as he plunged about twenty
more feet in complete darkness, before finally landing and rolling to his feet. Link struggled to quickly catch his
breath as he stared around the darkness. A faint wind howled from the hole he entered through, but aside from that
the only sounds he heard were the eerie, fading echoes of his yelling, along with a slimy, crawling sound coming from
all over the place, and suddenly he felt as if large spiders were beginning to crawl up his legs...
------"Oh crap, where'd I put the rod!" Link exclaimed to himself, frantically searching his tunic as he felt the spider-like
parasites quickly crawling to his waist. "Aha!" he shouted as his fingers brushed over the handle of the rod, grabbing ahold
of it swiftly as he felt the parasites continuing at an alarming rate, crawling over his chest now. He jerked the rod out
of his tunic, holding it out as a blinding green light flashed from it. Link's entire body began to glow as the light faded,
small streaks of electricity surging through various parts of his body now and then, though it didn't seem to be
affecting him in the slightest. As the lightning rod illuminated the cave softly after the flash, Link looked down at his
body to see that, from his neck down, his entire body was covered in parasites that were going into spasms as the
electric field around him took its course. The parasites dropped like flies as they died off, the other swarming parasites
in the large cavern taking the corpses for sustenance. Link looked around at the now illuminated cavern; the floor and
walls of the cave were nearly covered in parasites, though they kept a wide ring of distance around Link, smart enough to
realize he was a serious threat to them all. Link blinked as he stood there, stunned at how close he had come to being
doomed, before letting out a huge sigh of relief. "Well, atleast I found the hive... now where's the queen?" he said,
looking around at the many tunnels connecting to this large, dark cavern. "... this could take a while..."
-
------He started walking down one of the many winding tunnels inside the hive, looking around at all the parasites
nervously. Despite knowing the rod he held in his hand gave him protection against the little monsters, he couldn't
help but be unnerved by the presence of thousands of little spiderlike parasites, all of which seemed to be going the
same direction he was at the moment, detouring around him when they drew near. "... this isn't so bad..." he thought
to himself as he continued to trek down the long tunnel. "Maybe they're gathering to protect their queen... I'm already
going the right way!"
------As the end of the tunnel drew near however, the light from his staff poured into a small, open cavern, revealing
a pile of parasites swarming around what appeared to be a humanoid body. "... is that the queen?" Link pondered out
loud, his voice echoing through the dimly lit cavern, staring at whatever was on the ground as it slowly moved
towards him, as if slithering like a snake. He continued to stare at the dead man as he was dragged away by a sea
of small spiderlike creatures, the parasites starting to pull him along faster now. "... ok, maybe if I follow these guys."
Link said, starting to follow the trail of the corpse back through the tunnel he'd just came through. After a while, the
corpse had been dragged back to the cavern he'd fallen in to start with, before being pulled down another, larger
tunnel. Link looked back at the tunnel he'd just entered before following the parasite trail into the much bigger
one. "Why didn't I think to go down the big one first?" he muttered to himself, clutching the rod tighter in his left
hand as the parasites seemed to be getting a little more daring when it came to getting close to him.
-
------After following the trail for a few more minutes, he finally exited the long tunnel into a gigantic cavern, so wide
the light from his rod still couldn't illuminate the entire room. It did plenty to show a hideous, massive spiderlike creature
in the middle of the cavern, however; the creature looked much like the other parasites, but with a gigantic, bulging
sac of some kind beneath its large, tentacle like tail. "Finally.." Link said as he stopped at the entrance to the
cavern, pulling out Biggoron's sword, electricity coursing through it thanks to the rod in his other hand. The parasite
queen opened her massive jaws, devouring the dead man and some of her own children in one big gulp, swallowing
them whole to be digested within her. Link cringed a bit as the creature hissed. "Atleast I have a sword to cut my
way out if that happens..."
-
-
------Link took stance and got ready to rush at the queen, but before he could, the queen suddenly started roaring
in agony as she fell to the ground, writhing in pain. Her entire body began to smoke as the stench of burning flesh
filled the cavernous room, before she exploded in one mighty pop, spewing blood and other things the likes of which
Link was probably fortunate not to know of. "... Wow, that was easy!" Link said with a grin, looking at the lightning
rod. "This thing works better than I thought!"
------As he got ready to leave, however, he noticed something moving from within the boney corpse of the queen.
Arising from what appeared to be the queen's rib cage, the so-called dead man staggared to his feet, his head
bowed as slime dripped from his form. Link quickly rushed over to the corpse of the queen as he realized it was
the person he'd assumed dead earlier. "Are you alright?"
------The man coughed up a bit of the slime, before standing up straight, his eyes shining open, both appearing to
be made of glass, one glowing blue and the other green as a red glow seemed to pulsate from his chest. "Who...
Who am I...?"
------"How should I know?" Link asked, raising an eyebrow as he took a step back warily, not trusting anything
that seemed magical after his previous dealings with the Oracle's minions. "Do you know how to get out of here?'
------"A voice... I... I hear her voice..." the man said in a distorted tone, the parasites seeming to flee in terror
of this man for some reason as the cavern was quickly evacuated of the spiderlike creatures.
------"Who's voice? Can you remember?"
------"Get out of my head... GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" the man started screaming as he dropped to his knees,
clutching his head as he fell face-first into the cold rocky ground. "Not a monster.. I'm.. I'm a person...!" he yelled
weakly, before crying out as if in pain, four long, skeletal, spiderlike legs ripping out of his back to lift up his flailing
body. An even longer skeletal tail covered in boney spikes shot out behind him, waving around slowly. "No..! You
won't have me again...!" he screamed, staggaring backwards on his newly grown spiderlegs a bit, his teeth starting to
extend into fangs as long claws shot out of each of his fingers and toes. Suddenly, he arched his back with one last
agonized scream, three long, jagged points ripping out of his glowing chest, coming together into the beginning of a
handle as it stuck out of his chest a little more, before the man fell completely limp, bowing his head once more,
gasping for air.
------"Are ... you okay?" Link asked, keeping his sword ready to strike whenever needed. The man's breathing
started to sound deeper, gruffer, almost monsterous. He suddenly jerked his head up to glare at Link, sadistically
smirking at the blue-clad Hylian with jagged fangs, his eyes shing as brightly as ever.
------"Our apologies for delaying your time in this realm." the man said, his voice distorted and vicious now. "She
tells us to destroy you... We must obey..."
------"Who tells you?" Link asked, starting to walk backwards towards the tunnel he'd just came from. The
monster reached to his chest and jerked the blueish forked spear out of his chest, twirling it around before pointing
it straight at Link, slowly walking with his long skeletal spider legs to keep up with the Hylian.
------"The all-seeing Oracle commands us... You will become our nourishment..." the man said dementedly, suddenly
jabbing at Link with his spear. Link blocked it with his large blade, having to quickly bring his blade up again and again
to block the countless attempts to stab him. He stabbed one last time, pressing his spear against Link's sword, the two
weapons locked together as they glared at one another.
------"Wretched Hylian, you only prolong your misery!" the man yelled, starting to lash out at Link with his long,
skeletal, jagged spiderlike legs. Link quickly brought his lightning rod around to block each slash of the legs, struggling
to keep the spear from stabbing him with Biggoron's blade. Suddenly, the assault ended, little bits of slime dripping from
the man's spiderlegs next to Link, his eyes no longer glowing, but merely vacant green and blue spheres of glass.
"Wh... what am I doing...?" he muttered to himself, as Link slowly started to back away.
------"We're killing the Hylian!" he screamed in a distorted voice, his eyes flashing to life momentarily before fading
away to their dull, crystal clear selves afterwards as his voice went back to normal.
------"No... I'm not going to be a slave of the Oracle any longer.." the man said weakly.
------"Yes, we are! We belong to her will!" he yelled in his distorted voice again. Link blinked, continuing to
slowly walk backwards and away from this creature as it argued with itself, its left wrist giving off a faint light
as half of the usual Oracle mark shone through the slime, slowly fading away.
------"No... it's.. my mind... my body..." the man said as Link took off running.
------"The queen's dead, my job's done, I'm getting out of here!" Link said to himself, putting Biggoron's sword
away as he started hunting for the way out.
-
------The man stared at the mark on his arm as it started to burn. He reached over with his markless, yet slime
covered hand, rubbing at the mark as if trying to ease the burning. "Go ahead, Oracle... kill me... I'd rather
die than be a puppet any longer..."
------"You fool, we have immortality with the aid of the Oracle!" his distorted voice added in, though it was
getting weaker. "You would give this up for pathetic emotions? Humanity? Compassion? It's all nothing
compared to our power!" His eyes began to fade as his voice weakened more.
------"Power isn't worth everything... I'm a monster now..." he said softly, as he quit rubbing his wrist, the
burning sensation fading away.
------"But we were unstoppable... now you'll suffer greater than you ever have before..." the distorted voice
muttered in its dying breath as it faded away, along with the glowing of his eyes and chest. The man slowly
sat down, wrapping his long spiderlike legs around himself like a cage, his tail waving slowly back and forth
as he was surrounded by complete darkness. The man sighed as he dropped his pitchfork-like spear, before he
heard footsteps coming back down the tunnel leading to his cavern. "Hylian, I've caused you enough torment.
Why do you return? I seek no aid."
------"You assume too much." a deep, sinister voice responded, as he heard a mild scraping noise, the newcomer
picking up his spear.
------"Ganondorf? What are you doing here?"
------"I came to get my sword back, but seeing as you weren't able to follow orders as simple as Kill the Hylian,
this will make an excellent consolation prize." Ganondorf answered.
------"I don't care, you can have the wretched thi-" the man started to say, before he felt the trident pierce his
skin just barely at his stomach. "Argh...!" he yelled as he felt three spheres being siphoned out of his body and
into the spear. He could hear flames errupting as the orbs left him, though he couldn't see anything, and soon
the flames faded away as Ganondorf chuckled darkly.
------"This will make a fine replacement for my old sword..." he said as he pulled the spear out of the spiderlike
man's belly. "Honestly, after being trapped in this cavern for disobeying the Oracle, I thought you'd have learned
your lesson, Jack. Now Link's just going to have to starve to death, I suppose... a fitting torture for him for all
the little brat has done."
------"Ganondorf, think for a minute. The Oracle could swat Link like a bothersome fly if she used her full
powers. Why hasn't she?" Jack asked. Ganondorf scowled, his purple eyes glowing faintly through the darkness,
though Jack still couldn't see anything.
------"She has her reasons. Like she said, there'd be no point in having minions if she didn't use them-"
------"But her minions cause her more trouble than they're worth. I'm proof of that." Jack said. "It would be easier
if she just did it all herself. Why won't she?"
------"That's none of your concern!" Ganondorf snarled.
------"You don't know yourself, do you?" the man said, sounding almost humored. "She doesn't even keep YOU
in the loop.. a pity. The knowledge of the scars on our wrists, even though most of her minions don't even know
it, is trivial information. She's a manipulator, Ganondorf. She has ulterior motives to everything she does."
------"So, you're saying she punished you, turned you into this hideous beast, just to get me a new weapon?
Should I feel flattered?" Ganondorf asked.
------"You should follow your instincts as I have, Ganondorf." Jack advised. "Don't you think it's odd how she
tries desperately to bully her minions for respect? It's as if she has little to no power over you all..."
------"Because fools like you are compromising her schemes." Ganondorf said with a scowl.
------"I am no longer a puppet of the Oracle, Ganondorf. You would be wise to follow my example, before it
is too late for you all. She is a dangerous woman if left alone long enough."
------"... lies from a pathetic, lonely fool. Nothing but lies." Ganondorf said, refusing to believe a word of it
as he started to walk off.
------"You're all being used, Ganondorf. She'll throw you all away eventually, as she did me." Jack warned as
Ganondorf burst into flames and vanished from the cave.
