chapter 6

Zelda

the weeks flew by too fast and now here i was, sitting and watching the princes as they came two at a time, deuling until the last match came. It was riggins and Dark, the pageiggins laughed as he made a comment that this would end quickly. Dark had not spoken but the match ended in only ten minutes, faster than the other matches and Riggins was taken from the areana unconscious. I tried to look blank, but my heart was jumping with joy and fear. just what did my people think of Dark so far? and would they be angered to learn that Dark was a female that looked just like me?

Dark Zelda

I stepped out to the areana, watching Riggins. "this is too easy." Rigins laughed as he rushed to attack me. i merely sidestepped and avoided the attack. he stumbled forward and turned around, his eyes narrowed and hatred in his eyes. i merely spoke one sentence in answer. "the feeling is mutual." then, with a quickeness, i hit him with the back of my sword and he fell unconscious. named the victor, i walked off to wait for my next match. my ears twitched as i heard mumbles and my name once in awhile. i ignored them all as i sat down at a bench. Marth walked over and looked down at me. "your pretty good, Page. what's your name?" I looked up at him and spoke "Dark." Marth tilted his head a bit and studied me. "Dark? what a odd name." I ooked back at him. "watch it, your highness. My father named me." Marth gave a nod and was quick to apologized. he placed his hand out and smiled. "name's Marth. I hope to fight you next." i grinned under the helmet and placed my gauntlet covered hand in his. "Same here."
