Mask Of Despair

This is more an inermedian than a chapter, but still enjoy! I don't own Zelda.

The sudden disappearance of King Daphnes and the destruction at Kakariko alarmed all of the races in Hyrule. The Zoras fled into deeper parts of the rivers. The Gerudo's security at least doubled. The gorons escaped through their underground system, and the Kokiri stayed under the protection of the Lost Woods.

"Hehehe. This is what I call paradise. Without Daphnes, the Hylians have gone crazy, and after the destruction of Kakariko, every living thing in Hyrule is fearing for their own lives. Soon they will become selfish and evil. Hahaha!"

"Astaroth, your powers have been restored. Fulfill your oath and give me my powers back!" howled the Dark Prince of Evil. Even though Ganondorf was back, his powers were still greatly reduced by the four seals of the Ancients: The Seal of Despair, The Seal of Deception, The Seal of Rage and finally, The Seal of Chaos. These were placed on him to prevent him from rising to power again. However, the four dark spirits had created a countermeasure for this: four dark masks filled with their powers.

"Very well. You deserve it Ganon. From deep within the Earth, Arise, mask of Despair, Daemon Mask! Let the powers of despair that surround you free Ganon from his chain!"

The runes that lay on the floor to the top-left side of the dark altar light up, the same green as last time. For a moment, a ghostly chain was seen strapped to Ganondorf's left arm. The chain instantly shattered and disappeared once more, symbolizing the Seal of Despair being broken.

"Hehehehe… I feel so much stronger!" All of the remaining cuts on his body disappeared. In his hands appeared a new robe. It was dark green, almost black, and was bordered with the Triforce, much like his other cloak. However what was different was that the Triforce icon on his cloak was colored in red, purple, black and gray, one color per triangle with black as the upside down triangle. The colors represented each of the four elements of darkness: Chaos, black; Despair, gray; Rage, red; and Deception, purple. Also his new cloak shielded Ganondorf from most attacks, making him near-invulnerable.

"Now go! Free the remaining Demons of darkness!"

"Heh… but first. Aganim!"

"Yes, my lord?"

"Go and take care of the princess!"

"Heh. Got it boss."

Whoo! I said it was an intermedian! Hope you liked it. C ya
