The bells through Hyrule Castle Town chimed. Nancy ran after he parents to the main streets where everyone was rejoicing. She thought it was supposed to be a happy time, people getting married, but everyone seemed agitated and scared. As if they were being forced to enjoy themselves. Being young, the girl couldn't understand why. Nether the less she continued to dance with her parents and enjoy the food. The party would go on till late tonight so she had plenty of time to enjoy herself.

It wasn't long before the bells rang differently than before. In her short experience, Nancy had learnt that this signalled to the people in Castle Town that royalty were among them. Looking up towards the palace, on the balcony she saw the princess. Beautifully dressed in radiant colours and the man she wasn't familiar with. He was stood in armour, much taller than the girl. She couldn't see properly as the crowd began to gather.

"Nancy!"

She turned and saw her mother calling her. She ran to her mum and her father lifted her on top of his shoulders. Now she could see better.

The princess was stood next to the strange man with dark skin and blood red hair. He was holding her by her shoulder but she seemed uncomfortable. Maybe she was scared of crowds? Nancy didn't know. But she was happy for them both! They were married and we're gonna be happy like mother and father.

Her face was red. Never had the princess been so ashamed of standing before her people. The fact that the dark king was stood next to her, delighted by the attention, she dreaded every minute of it. This was because she knew what he would do to her later. Traditionally to seal a marriage, the couple would perform intercourse. This meant she had to consent to it or the man would be enraged and would take her anyway.

A few days ago, while Ganon was preparing for the wedding, Zelda was having a dress fit for her. She stood on a chest while she was poked and prodded with pins to collect her measurements. The maid, a former servant of her father, was prodding her but apologising each time. She was a kind lady. Even now, when she served the dark king, Ganon, she continued to hold onto her sweet nature and that comforted the princess. She was glad that she could have such a maid help her as if it had been Ganon's choice, a Bokoblin with barely any skill would have been measuring her. However, Zelda had insisted that a professional measure her up as those beasts would take advantage of her fragile state. It had taken some time, but Ganon was persuaded.

"Ouch!"

"Sorry, m'am. I'm done now. You can take off the dress and I'll finish sewing up the loose ends and it'll be ready for the wedding!"

The wedding. Zelda's stomach turned. She was dreading that day and she was unable to talk to anyone about it as they wouldn't understand the full extent of the wedding. Her body would become his, her Kingdom, the subjects, all his. Officially. She had no choice in the matter, either.

"Thanks. I'm sure the day will be splendid."

With a nod, the maid helped the princess take off the dress and helped her slip into her night gown. They had taken most of the day to fix her dress and now it was late into the evening.

The morning of the wedding, Zelda had help from the same maid to put on the dress. It truly was beautiful. The fabric was soft and radiant. The colours of pink and gold made her feel ecstatic. Though it dawned on her that this wasn't a day for celebration, not for her. This was the day everything changed for the worst and it wasn't going to get any better from here.

Despite her dread, Zelda gathered herself. She was strong, she would get through this!

Standing above the crowd now, she was grateful that her blush was well done. As it helped to hide her red face. She felt Ganondorf's strong hand grip her right shoulder, holding her to him. He was enjoying every second of this, knowing full well he had won.

The crowd cheered in delight at the sight of the newly formed couple. Zelda knew that they were cheering for her, but that the majority of the crowd were also hiding pain and misery. Her father, the king, was well loved among his people. Having his daughter now forced to marry the man who slaughtered her father's people and took the throne for himself. There was no denying, they hated him. But, what could they do? They had little strength, they had families. The best the people could do was play along with the event and hope for the best.

"So, little princess, how are you enjoying yourself?"

At the deep gruff of his voice, Zelda flinched. But she shook her nerves away.

"It's very nice."

This wasn't a complete lie. She had a ball later this evening to look forward to and the ceremony for the actual wedding was delightful. However, kissing Ganon had left her shaken but desperate for more. The gown she wore was beautiful and radiant and the food being prepared looked and smelt fantastic. Despite knowing the dark consequences of her marriage to this man, she knew she had little choice. Knowing this, she thought best to enjoy herself rather than dwell on the darkness behind the light.

"I'm glad. It took a lot of preparation for this event and I wanted you to be happy."

This made Zelda go white. Happy? The dark king cares about her happiness? She looked up to see his expression. Amber eyes gleamed back at her sapphire blue. His face went a weird shade, giving away his embarrassment at what words he had just spoken. This made her blush a little as she never thought the man was capable of such feelings.

She blushed. Her beautiful and delicate face turned away from his. Gazing back over her features, he then returned his sight to the people below him. It was a marvellous sight, seeing all these helpless whelps rejoice at his victory. Though, it wasn't just that. He had married the woman he loved. Wait, loved? Never before had Ganon thought of ever loving anyone. Let alone this girl. But yes, she had captured his heart.

Those gorgeous blonde locks among the pale but bright face. Her ocean blue eyes filled with kindness but ferocity. Yes, this girl. No, woman, had captured his heart.

"I'm glad." She muttered.

Something in her voice told Ganon that she was shocked but pleased. This made him blush a bit. Zelda's happiness was his main priority for this day and he had succeeded. Now all that was left was to seal the marriage with intercourse. But first, the ball.

After a few more minutes of enjoying the cheers and celebrations of the crowd. Ganon led Zelda back into the castle. They headed towards the ball room, his arm still wrapped around her shoulder.

Link walked out of the Goron mines. He was sweating and exhausted but he had done it. By challenging the leader of the Gorons to a wrestling match, and winning, he had earned their trust and the leader allowed him an answer.

Apparently, one of their fellow brothers had been corrupted by a strange object which transformed him into a vile beast. Locking him away was the only resort that they could think of. Upon hearing this, Link had agreed to help the Goron and free him of whatever had possessed him.

After gaining passage into the Goron mines, Link had face many challenges in the heated dungeon. He had found many bokoblins and archers that needed slaying and he solved the puzzles. Finally, upcoming finding the multiple keys to the chamber, he entered. Upon his entry, Link awoke the Corrupted Goron. He was a blazing mess, larger than any Goron he had seen before. The beast broke the chains that held him to the wall and attacked Link. Using the strength of his training and the iron boots he "borrowed", the boy was able to take down the creature by pulling on its chains and knocking it to the ground. Once on the floor, he would attack the head with his sword and eventually the helmet on top of his head came off.

Almost immediately after the helm was removed by Link's sword, the Goron began to shrink back to normal size. Midna had sprung out of his shadow and floated towards the object.

"A fused shadow piece.." She muttered to herself.

"A what? You recognise this thing?" Link stated in shock.

"Yes.. It's a artefact from my world, the twilight realm. No wonder this Goron was corrupted, he shouldn't have touched this object."

With that, she picked it up and teleported the 'fused shadow' to whatever dimension that was used as a storage place for the small imp. Similar to how she protected his sword and shield for him when he was a wolf. When she found him lying on the ground she had picked them up, thinking they'd be useful for later.

Now though, Link had completed his task and had helped the Gorons. At least now they wouldn't attack the village anymore. With a sign of relief, he wiped the sweat from his brow and walked back to the Goron village.

Upon entering the village, the Gorons stood to attention and all gathered around the boy with excitement and hesitation. Some stating that they hadn't expected him to live, others saying he was brave, a fool. When he reached the Goron leader, the creature stood from his throne and questioned Link:

"What news of our brother? Is he free from that wretched curse?"

"Yes. I'm not sure what it was that caused him to transform into the monster he was but he's resting in the mines currently and will join you all shortly."

"Fantastic! I'm glad you were able to help our brother in his time of need. Now we can continue to mine our rocks in peace, knowing that we are safe from threat. Thank you!"

Link bowed to their leader. He had done what he promised to do and felt happy that he was able to finally rest now. He yawned at the thought of a nice warm bed, before realising that he had no bed. The boy was about to turn back to walk out the throne room when the Goron leader stopped him.

"Boy. You have helped us. In return I will offer you a nights stay and a nice warm bed to sleep in. You will bath and dine with us tonight!"

The Gorons all cheered at this. Link was astonished. He wasn't expecting a reward but he wasn't about to turn down the offer of a nice warm bed and meal. He nodded in agreement.

"Link.."

Midna, what did she want? He turned to face her, barely able to hear her among the racket of the cheering rock people.

"One night. We need to get going tomorrow to the forest. There's still darkness consuming the land and we can't rest until it's stopped. Besides, there might be another fused shadow we could do with collecting."

"Sure, but what are the fused shadows? What do they do and why do they corrupt people from this world."

Midna signed before replying.

"The fused shadows, probably scattered among Hyrule, are a weapon. They have a large amount of power residing inside them and that power corrupts those who do not wield the strength to use it."

"A-are you able to use it? If it's from your world?"

"Yes."

Link nodded. This made sense, she was a strange being and seemed to have some sort of aura of power about her. He trusted Midna enough to not question further. Seeing he wasn't going to question anymore about the subject, Midna nodded back and returned to his shadow.

The ball had been splendid. The food, spectacular. Zelda had ate and drank so much she couldn't think straight. She had danced alone but had not refused when her husband had offered to dance with her. She had been held close to his body as they swirled around the marble floors. They had danced for hours.

However, it wasn't long before Ganon had begun to dance more lustfully and there was something in his eye. Soon, he had picked her up and carried her up the tower to the room they would now share. It was slightly different to Zelda's old room. The walls were a deep red colour rather than the rosy red of her room. The window had no curtains and the bed was a dark shade of grey. She was too excited to care though.

The whole way to the room, Ganon had been kissing her and holding her in places that only he could. When they reached the bedroom, he stopped only to open the door and close it behind them. The man carried the princess to the bed, undressing her as soon as she hit the covers. Her heels were gone already as she had kicked them off. He slipped her dress over her head, kissing her neck as he made his way to her corset and panties.

Zelda's head was spinning, part of her was screaming for her to stop him but the drink had got to her head and she was too happy to care what was happening. She pulled his head closer to her body as he kissed her neck, roughly undoing her corset and then ripping her panties off her body.

She moaned as the kisses became more rough and she felt his now naked member pressing again her stomach. She could feel how hard it was already and it made her want more. The princess ran her fingers through the man's red hair, moaning as his kisses became more intense and his hands explored more of her naked body.

It was almost sudden when he pulled away briefly to lay the princess down on the bed and enter her. As soon as he got into a rhythm, Ganon began kissing her body again, starting from her stomach and making his way to her neck and then kissing her lips. Zelda moaned with each thrust, his kisses sent her spiralling into a fit of pleasure. It felt so good that she couldn't control herself.

His warm length filled her and hit her spot just right, he kept pumping faster and stronger, Zelda had to cling onto his back just to keep upright. His breath was fast and hot against her ear, she could smell his sweat. The man smelt sweet yet very masculine, she liked it. Another moan escaped her lips as he hit her spot again and again.

The girl clung to the man as if her life depended on it as they both grew more tired and became closer to climaxing. It wasn't long before they both came, letting out loud gasps of relief and pleasure. Ganon pulled away from her neck and kissed her gently on the lips.

"You enjoyed that?"

"Y-yes."

Part of her was internally screaming for her to push the man away but her emotions got the better of her and she pulled him closer by his hair for another kiss. Zelda's lips parted slightly, allowing the King's tongue to slip inside her mouth and explore. What was this she was feeling? Content? Had she fallen for this man?

Previously when they had kissed, it had been rough and had lacked emotion. But for some reason, this kiss felt different. As time had passed, the princess had grown more and more used to the man taking her and doing whatever he wanted to her body. But this was the first time she had willingly pulled Ganon into a kiss. It had felt right.
