As you can probably tell, this is based a lot on what happened to me when I first battled Ganondorf... although I didn't have a demon in my head... but some parts are pretty much what my friend's brother said to me, heh.

So, next chapter is when the fun starts! YAY! It probably won't be up for a while, as I have my exams next week, but I'll do my best to have two chapters (hopefully) up by Friday.

I wish I owned it -sigh-

SORELY MISUNDERTOOD CREATURES

Come on, let me at him.

No, I can do it.

No you can't, stop lying. It's unhealthy to lie.

If you shut up I might be able to concentrate.

You don't even know what to concentrate on – you've got no idea what's happening. Look, there goes another wasted opportunity at him.

Ganondorf threw another bolt of lightning magic at us, but Link ran away. He really was clueless. We had been running for near on half an hour now, and I was getting a bit tired of it. If I hadn't come along, he would be dead for sure. This way he had a back up if something happened to him at least.

Do you want me to die? Just shut up, would you!

Watch out!

A jet of electricity rattled his body, leaving our minds in a daze for a few moments. Link cried out in pain and hunched over as the shock raced through him, as if trying to absorb it.

Deflect them, I keep telling you that! But no – no one will trust a demon. I tell you, I'm not all bad.

I'll let him kill me if you don't stop talking!

No, you need to know this. Demons are sorely misunderstood creatures. Block that – well done! You see, no creature such as me is actually evil, that's just what people assume. Hell, if anyone so much as mentions the word 'demon' they all jump up and shout 'Argh! Run!'

Oh, you poor soul. Now would you please shut it?

But we are only seen in that way because of the things we are made to do. If I had a choice in half the things I was ordered to do, at least a hundred brilliant sorcerers would have lived to be over twenty. Keep it up…got him! Now – what in the name of the Triforce was that

What?

Oh, I wonder why Zelda gave you the Light Arrows, surely Ganondorf can't stand light? Hmm, big enough hint for you?

Iknow, all right!

No you don't.

Just get out of my head, demon.

Did you listen to anything I just said?

Yep. Did I believe it? Nope.

Ugh! You humans get worse by the century. Although I must say, you're nowhere near as bad as this one – he's revolting.

I'm trying to concentrate.

Not doing a great job of it. Ah! Nice shot – now, sword…

The sword slashed at the Evil King and he grunted in pain, but it did minimal damage. Boy, he was tough. He heaved himself up into the air and laughed at Link in disgust, his enormous cloak billowing about him as he flew.

Revoltingand, it seems, indestructible.

Link jumped back onto the surrounding platforms and faced his opponent again, sword raised. Now that he knew what to do, I could feel his confidence rising. And it was about time, too. After all that useless flailing about and ignoring me, we could finally get down to business.

Link deflected magical attack after magical attack, but he grew tired fast. Every miss sapped more of his energy, and he couldn't afford to lose any more. On his third try at Ganondorf, he stumbled just before the big jump and fell, crashing down to the bottom of the dungeon. He was too weak to make a sound, and fell into unconsciousness. Ganondorf laughed horribly at him from up above.

Okay kid, my turn now.

I swooped on his mind and took over for the first time since, well, yesterday, and poured my strength back into his veins. He let me take over, too weak to resist. I grunted, rising slowly to my feet. My energy was back, and I wanted to show that backstabber what I thought of him. I climbed up to the platform eagerly, and jumped towards the wall. Ganondorf noticed a difference immediately. I swear I will never forget the look on his face when I turned towards him, red eyes glaring. Horror, confusion, terror, scorn, and bewilderment all rolled into one hideous result.

"You!" He cried, pointing a fat finger at me. "I ordered you to kill him. You disobeyed me!"

"I did disobey you, Ganondorf," I said, twirling the sword around in my left hand. "But you stabbed me in the back. That's much worse."

He stuttered for a moment, the commanding air he had acquired completely shattered. He gradually came to the ground, isolated on his little platform in the centre. His cold eyes met mine and we stared each other down for some time. Me standing proud, him on his knees. Just the way it should be.

Eventually he gave in and said, "How did you do it?"

"Ah, I'm so glad you asked!" I jumped over to his platform and crouched down so I could stare him in the eye. "Yes, it is true that once a demon is given orders it has no choice but to obey, but you see, you weren't specific in the orders you gave me and so I could take them to mean whatever I wanted. First you said to find him – I did that easy enough. Then you said to follow him, and so I became his shadow and stalked him for days. And lastly, you ordered me to kill him. That I haven't done, because I found a way out of it. You did not tell me how I had to kill him, you merely said 'and at the right time, you will kill him.' You forgot the most important order to give a demon; you cannot not harm me in any way, or lead me to a situation that may result in my death! By killing you, I cancel out all your orders and become free at last. But you thought you had me, didn't you? You thought you were safe with all your promises of glory and power, but you lied! You thought I wouldn't see through it, but I did. No one in their right mind would make a promise to a demon unless it was done in blood. You're a pathetic man, Ganondorf! You think you're wise, but you're far from it. You command a degree of power that you don't deserve, and you picked the wrong demon to mess with."

I emphasised each point by striking his mind hard, breaking through his barrier easily in his weak state and stabbing relentlessly. He screamed at each attack, but I didn't let up. He had to understand the enormity of his mistake, the anger and betrayal I felt. He had to learn.

When I finally stopped, he screamed and threw a bolt of magic, but I cast it to the side without so much as blinking. He hurled bolt after bolt, but they didn't come anywhere near me.

"You can't kill me, Ganondorf!" I shouted at him. "You can kill the boy, but I'll still be here to finish you off!"

"I have the Triforce on my side, demon!"

I laughed loudly. "You have one part of the Triforce, yes, but I was created by all three of them together. The three goddesses gave me life! I have Power, Wisdom, Courage and the strength of the Six Sages coursing through me - you are merely a human!"

I didn't give him a chance to respond, but jumped over and plunged the sword through his heart, watching as his eyes grew wide and he gasped in pain. I pushed it in harder then yanked it out, dropping it to the floor as he fell forward at my feet. He coughed, spluttered, and a gush of green sludge spilled from his mouth. I stepped back, clearly disgusted.

"You did not just vomit on my tunic."

He roared and threw back his cloak, jumping up into the air. A brilliant blue light gathered around him and the air crackled. I stepped back warily as the walls around me faded and we were left standing alone on the top of the castle. The light surrounding him went out and he collapsed to the floor.

"You brought this upon yourself," I spat.

I felt Link's mind stir somewhere far away. I let him regain control and shrank back down into my corner.

Thankyou.

Well, I never thought the day would come when you said that to me, but be careful – he'll be back for round two.
