The auditorium was filled to the brim with villains, young and old, beginners and veterans. There was a massive amount of chatter between the one's that knew one another as acquaintances, some began fighting and arguing with others. The massive room was then filled with cheers of many as Ganondorf came onto the stage. Many others sat silently, uncaring about anything but themselves. Ganondorf held up his hand, instantly silencing the crowd.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! I bring you all here for many reasons, but before we begin, congratulations, you have all been deemed worthy of working under me."
The crowd cheered wildly once and once again Ganondorf silenced them.
"I bring you here simply because of the fact that all of us have been beaten and humiliated by these so called 'heroes'. It grows tiring does it not?"
The crowd began to yell in anger from the shear thought of being defeated on a constant of bases. A large screen rolled down behind Ganondorf as he began showing pictures of these heroic figures.
"People such as Mario, Samus and my least favorite, Link!"
The anger in Ganon's voice was very evident at this point. Zelgius stared at the picture of Link. The man was tiny. He stood nearly two feet under Ganon and he certainly didn't have a strong build.
"These people have defeated us time and time again! We will no longer tolerate this! We will take what is rightfully ours!
The crowd cheered once again as he continued on.
"We will be rid of these heroes and succeed in claiming the world as ours!"
The crowd cheered wildly as Ganondorf looked through the crowd. His eyes met two sharp, piercing green eyes that he was all too familiar with.
"I knew you would show up Zelgius…"
Ganondorf walked off the stage. Zelgius narrowed his eyes as the crowd stood to leave the auditorium.
Zelgius walked to his room, staring blankly in front of himself. He came to a halt as he heard a voice call to him.
"Zelgius!"
Zelgius turned to see Petrina catching up to him. At first he thought about turning away and continuing to walk but decided against it.
"Zelgius I heard your conversation with Ganon. You can't keep hiding."
"Hiding from what?"
"You know what. You can't keep hiding from what you are anymore!"
Zelgius stared down at the woman and his eyes narrowed.
"Don't say it…"
"You're a villain Zelgius!"
With that he turned away and headed in the opposite direction of her. She called back to him but he continued on in hope of losing her. He stormed out the door into the chilling, wet air. It was merely drizzling now. He continued treading through the wet grass until he came to an entrance to the forest. He heard her voice again. Spinning around, he gave her a face that was quite unsettling.
"What? What could you possibly want? If it is about being a villain I wish not to hear about it."
"Zelgius will you just except this? I mean why are you so upset about it?
"Because I am not a villain. I never have been. If you want to screw up your life again go right ahead. However, I am not. I am leaving this place and going back to where I belong."
"No your not…"
"And why is that?"
" Ganon will kill you if you try to leave this place. So either way you're going to get killed. Just stay here."
Zelgius' eyes narrowed as he moved closer to her.
"No…no I will not. I messed up my life before Petrina. Why in the world when I've been given a second chance would I do it again?"
"Because before now you had no purpose! You just roamed around the land of Tellius without a reason for being! Zelgius, now you can have a purpose. You can start out new and live a better life with these people. We're a team and we'll achieve this goal together."
Will you even listen to yourself? Petrina, these people don't care about you, me or anyone. They are in this for their issues and they couldn't care less weather everyone lives or dies. And Ganondorf? He'll kill everyone once he doesn't need us anymore. Do you really think he gives a damn about us?"
"Zelgius your wrong! I don't know why you of all people would act this way. It makes no sense since you are probably the loneliest one here! If you think that way, fine! Ganon will be rid of you."
Petrina turned to walk away as he shirt snagged on a branch. She pulled away causing the thin fabric to rip, revealing the brand on her chest. Zelgius' eyes ran down on it, then back to her.
"I forgot you were one of them."
She turned away from him and sighed.
"Just leave it Zelgius."
"Now that is something you can't hide from…"
He gripped her hand, pulling her back to him.
"Its been ages since I've seen another branded. Every time I see one… I just…I don't know."
Petrina stared down, seeing that Zelgius was still holding her hand.
"Um… you can let go…"
He stared down at her for a while before speaking.
"What plans do you have tonight?"
"None. Why?"
She stared into his eyes into his eyes, which had a strange shine in them. Zelgius never quite remembered how it all; happened that night, but he found himself laying next to her. It wasn't love or anything, but both were just in the heat of the moment.
