Chapter three:
Ganondorf often wondered why some people were more fortunate than others. Why one man was born rich, and the other...a dirt poor beggar. Certainly the rich man would want to help the poor one? Sadly this didn't appear to be the case. Less and less Gerudo were filling their small land. He loved his people, and they looked to his as King in training. Supplies were scarce and had to be stolen from those who lived in Hyrule. This in tern made the King fight back, soldiers patrolled the very edges of Hyrule. Gerudo and soldier alike were falling on Hyrule field. Despite all that, he worried for Link. He knew Link was one of those soldiers who was ordered by the king to guard the field. Never had he run across him in his raids but he knew it was only a matter of time, their two worlds would collide.
His mother Nabini grew desperate and prayed to the Sand Goddess for help in which she sent upon them the elder witches know as TwinRova. TwinRova were sneaky old biddies on broom sticks that cackled at every command Ganondorf tried to make for the Gerudo's in a hopes of peace between the two lands.
"The boy king wishes to talk peace with the Hylian king." cackled Koume to her blue twin as the two floated idly around the dining hall, as Ganondorf sat by the fire deep in thought. Upon hearing the two women's words he looked up.
"You there, what is so far fetched about my plans? " He said lowly, his eyes narrowed and this only seemed to amuse the two further as they burst in hysterical giggling.
"Oh Koume...Now now we must be understanding with the boy, after all he does have it in his blood after all." Kotake wheezed, her heels clicking together as she floated around her sister. The two were always like this, talking to each-other more so than anyone else. He stood, his patience was thinning and he didn't have time for their childish antics, but...what they had said struck a cord in him.
"What is in my blood?" He questioned, his jaw tense as he rested his hands on the table. The two hags knew they caught him as they were silent for a moment with dark grins plastered to their wrinkled faces. Koume started to laugh first looking to her sister who then began to laugh.
"Oooooh Kotake, he doesn't know, does he?" She sneered, her beady eyes on him as she spoke, Kotake smacked the edge of her broom stick between giggles.
"You mean how not ALL Gerudo children are made by the sand goddess? How sometimes Gerudo women, who were not blessed with children would go out and seduce Hylian men?" Kotake murmured, her voice shrill with amusement as he watched their spectacle of him. His body tensed. They couldn't possibly be suggesting that he, the supposed future King of this fortress was not even full Gerudo.
"You are saying that I have a father?" He demanded, the two stopped their cackling and began their slow descent to the table where they lay their feet upon it.
"Koume, The boy King doesn't know that his mother was not blessed by the goddess of the sand like so many women in Gerudo Valley. " Kotake said with a sad tone, her sister nodding before adding to the statement.
"But really it is no surprise our future king is so fascinated by the Hylian lands, after all his father is brother to the current King of Hyrule. " Koume sneered, her bulbous eyes on the Gerudo male and his jaw dropped.
"My father is brother to the King? You are saying that I am Hylian Royalty?" he felt breathless as he spoke, suddenly everything made sense. His thoughts snapped to Link who now served the Hyrule King. Perhaps their was a way to keep his two worlds in peace. He brushed passed twinrova without further words and towards the entrance to his home. He needed to see Link, to speak with him about the news he was just given.
At morning light Ganondorf was awakened by a soldier banging on his door. Dark, woke his master urgently. Still dressed in his attire from the day before he answered the door lazily. The man was clad in silver armor with the Hylian crest upon his chest. The armor had failed to change all these years. He often would mistake a soldier for his Link. None of them ever were, and it made him cringe at the sight of these soldiers. Looking down at this particular one, he was breathless and seemed quite distraught.
"What is going on? Do you have news from his majesty?" Ganondorf snapped, glaring at the trembling man in silver armor.
"Well you see sir... we have received word that...someone...somehow has manged to gather two of the three hidden stones sir..." he whispered lowly, his eyes shifting to the side as if fearing he was followed. This news struck him hard, the three stones if gathered and taken to the church would then open the door of time...This was obviously the doing of the King's crazy daughter in the attempt to ruin him. He nodded to the soldier, bidding him farewell as he closed the door on him and gathered his things.
"What are you going to do?" Dark questioned, his red eyes concerned as he watched his master pack. Ganondorf headed to the door and paused looking back at his companion.
"I am heading to the church, if that person is gathering all three stones then perhaps I can make use of this. They will open the door of time for me." He grinned softly, he wouldn't let anything get in the way of his plans. Not that crazy little girl or her Link look-a-like.
The guards always set out at first light. Young Ganondorf knew exactly where Link would be on that day, as he would often send word on the foot of a small owl for him in Gerudo fortress. Just beyond the edge of Lake Hylia, was where his Link was stationed with three other soldiers. It was still just starting to get dark as he headed out for camp, knowing the other soldiers would let Link stay up on night patrol. Approaching the camp, Link was no where to be seen. Ganondorf placed his hands around his mouth and made a soft owl chirp. With a moment it was returned and the blond quietly snuck around the edge of the tents. He held a finger to his lips to silence him as he waved for him to follow. Doing as told, the Gerudo male followed closely behind, up and over the wall that led to Lake Hylia. Once over the gate Link spun on his heels and threw his arms around the Gerudo males neck and hugged him hard. It had been a while since he was able to see the boy in person, and he saw no reason to not return the embrace. How he felt about the boy was confusing, it made his heart sputter and his stomach twist. Blushing, he stroke the blonds back as he held him in silence.
"I was beginning to think I would never see you again..." the boy whispered against Ganondorf's dark shoulder. Smiling softly he rested his chin on the boy's head. He smelled of metal and wind, the scent most soldiers carried. Pulling away he cupped the boys face in his large hands. They had grown up together despite their different lives, Looking at him now, staring into his sapphire eyes he felt sad. Link was pure, believed to do great things and change the world. While all of Hyrule believed that Ganondorf himself was nothing more than a filthy villain to society...all except...him. The blond stared up at him desperately in a way no one else ever did. Not even his own people to whom they called King. He wanted change, he wanted the two worlds to become one.
"Ganon..." Link whispered, his lips parting softly as he cupped the Gerudo male's face in his own hands. "Forgive me..." He murmured breathlessly, shifting on his tiptoes and pressing his soft lips against Ganondorf's. The Male wasn't sure how to respond yet his hands slid up the blond's back and pulled him closer, his own mouth responding against him. How odd their life became. For anyone who should have seen them, it would have been a surprise. Though for a moment that didn't matter. Ganondorf felt the desperation of his Blond friend, their kiss becoming more forceful as he pressed Link against the Hylian wall. The Hylian's words bounced around in Ganondorf's head as he found his hands exploring underneath his friends loose tunic, touching the soft skin their.
"There is nothing to forgive." He murmured against the blond's neck as Link panted. Link's body arched against his as Ganondorf's hands trailed along his stomach shyly, the blond finding his own hands slid them down the Gerudo's bare back. Capturing the boy's lips once more in his own, he decided his news would wait until morning as he pulled the boy to the ground.
"Link...wake up. " Ganondorf whispered, it was still night, but soon the sun would rise and the soldiers would discover him gone. Link laid on his stomach in the grass, his still nude form lay bare to the night air as he shifted in his sleep. Ganondorf, still needed to speak with him about twinrova's news to him. He pulled on his clothing that lay nearby and shook the boy's shoulder once more.
"I'm so sore..." he murmured in his sleep, this made Ganondorf blush, his mind snapping back to their previous actions a few hours before. Shaking his head he shook the boy once more. This time he opened his eyes and sat up.
"I wish we didn't have to part like this..." He sighed, Ganondorf cupping his cheek. He understood how he felt as he placed a soft kiss on his forehead.
"I need to tell you something...It may somehow make it to where we don't have to part." He said softly, the blond looked up at him at the Gerudo man as he spoke. "I have learned that unlike my people I too have Hylian blood...My father is brother to the King." He said quietly, his voice seeming to get lost in the night air. Link's eyes widened.
"You are Hyrule Royalty then? That is...that is...wow..." he breathed excitedly as he managed to get up and pull back on his clothing. " Have you spoken with him? the King's brother?" Link questioned, attaching his sword to his back, the sky starting to lighten, knowing it was only a matter of time before the sun would show. Ganondorf shook his head. Growing Frantic, Link Kissed the male quickly.
"Come to the castle gates at nightfall. I have something I need to show you." He whispered before climbing over the wall to Hyrule field to get back to camp before being seen. Ganondorf watched him vanish and his stomach twisted. It hurt seeing him leave, sucking it up he headed further into Lake Hylian, their river connected to Gerudo valley through the canyon. It was never a desirable means of entry but it was the easiest way for the Hyrule soldiers to not see him. He was to wait until night fall to see his Link again.
