Chapter 5
The Imprisoning War
Ganondorf opened his eyes. He found himself in the center of the Castle Gardens. Around him a battle waged. The king was so obviously gone in the timely war. He saw his previous four bodyguards in battle against a small troop of stalfos.
One yelled as they attacked a skeleton, "Lord Ganondorf! These creatures appeared and attacked the castle when you vanished!" They stabbed at the stalfos they fought and its bones flew apart in many directions. They jumped at another and began to fight that one.
Ganondorf looked to the guard, taking out his blade. He silently signaled to the undead. It blocked another sword attack, looked to its master briefly, then nodded. It kicked the soldier away from itself and headed towards the castle. The Hylian soldier stood swiftly, but didn't run after it.
Finally Ganondorf answered the Hyrulian, looking up to the throne room, "I know." He turned his gaze back towards the man. "I would know. I sent them here." The King of Evil went to the soldier, grabbed his jaw in a single free palm, and raised the man crushing him against the wall. From his palm, shuddered an unimaginable amount of darkness, instantly shattering the man's jaw into millions of pieces. On the back of his hand glowed a golden triangle. Suddenly the light grew contained to a single triangle , the highest on the Triforce. Ganondorf's eyes looked towards his hand and widened in anger. Where were the other two crests?! He had obtained only the Triforce of Power! Fury grew inside him, and suddenly he twisted the neck of the soldier, instantly breaking it. He sensed that life still hid within the guard. Ganondorf took the katana he held in his right hand and calmly thrust it through the bodyguard's armor and heart.
When the man yelled in pain, a smile grew on Ganondorf's face. He twisted the blade upward and through the shoulder. Still grinning, he said in the ear of the guardian of the castle, "Your job has failed. Hyrule Kingdom will pay for mocking at the Gerudo. The kingdom will fall." Then suddenly, the Gerudo King pulled the blade out and let the corpse fall to the damp grass.
Ganondorf turned to face the castle's central tower once more, sheathing his bloody sword. He regarded the topmost floor again and, ignoring the battle that raged about him, he broke apart into Shards of Darkness, entering a portal.
Banners lay over the castle's floor, ripped and shredded. Candelabras lay strewn across the floors, shattered to pieces. When a enormous portal appeared in the ceiling, it was completely ignored by the Hylian soldiers that fought Ganondorf's army. From the gateway in the ceiling came a cloud of Dark Bits. They gathered together at the foot of the Royal Throne, forming Ganondorf. He looked about the room. He frowned at the remaining guards. There were still whole living troops? What was taking the stalfos so long to dispatch them. Annoyed Ganondorf dismissed them to the gardens and the castle's barracks.
He kicked the nearest soldier away from him. He watched them fly over the balcony to the gardens. No longer would he smell the wealth of a pastry in the castle. Ganondorf ignored the attacks that the guards attempted to bring upon him as he walked to the balcony. He grinned, for there he knew that a war had begun. One that would return the Triforce to him.
