*Valory's P.O.V*
"Dark, NO!" I shouted desperately as Nightmare reared to a halt at his side. Ganondork ( personal nickname :D) had already been knocked out by an arrow to a vital pressure point. I had never used a bow in my life so it surprised me that I had such good aim. Who knew that such an inexperienced young girl could take down such a powerful adversary with just one arrow?
I hopped down from my perch in Nightmare's saddle and knelt on the ground putting Dark Link's head on my lap. Gasping at the horrible sight, Dark had a bloody gash on the back of his head which soaked my fingers with blood, I put a hand to his chest to find that thankfully he was still breathing. His heart was beating stroongly so i was positive that he would indeed live, providing that Ganondorf didn't get to him. And Ganondork would only be able to get to Dark over my dead body.
I was so caught up in my thoughts however that i did not hear the sound of footsteps approaching. It wasn't until that vile man was two feet from me that I finally realized he had woken and was coming after me now. Swiftly dodging a jab from his sword I sprung up into a defensive stance shielding Dark Link from Ganondorf's view. I smirked inwardly as I took in his expression. That cold, hate-filled look of rage directed at me. Oh how I had always enjoyed pissing him off in the video games. But this was no video game, and if I didnt act fast I'd be doomed.
The King of Evil smiled wickedly as his sword flashed in the light of the moon and came close to slicing me in two. I backflipped at the last second, landing hard on the ground and twisting my ankle. "Kukuku not so lively now, are you little brat?" said Ganondorf as he lunged for me again. I had no choice but to grit my teeth and roll out of the way. Unfortunately Ganondorf saw this coming and was able to stab me in my left arm. A bloodcurdling scream pierced the air as sheer unbearable pain wracked my body. I had no clue that Ganondorf's sword was electrified!
Ganondorf towered over me, watching me writhe in pain as the shock surged through me. He laughed as I grimaced and gritted my teeth to try and keep in the screams. The pain was too much to handle though and the last thing I saw was the blade of a sword going through Ganondork's chest from behind and a pair of crimson eyes...
*Dark's P.O.V*
I woke up after hearing that cold, merciless laugh that could only belong to Ganondorf. I was in agony as I tried to lift my head, and I remembered that I had been hit in the back of my head. Twice. Now THAT made me angry. I jerked to my feet and looked around for my sword which I saw was only a few feet away from me. The nerve of that idiotic "Evil King" to strike me anger grew to fury as a bloodcurdling scream made me cover my ears so I wouldn't go deaf. Thats when I remembered hearing her voice. Valory's voice.
I spun around to find that Ganondorf was towering over Valory, and that she was on the ground clearly in immense pain. My eyes flashed as he lifted his sword to prepare for the final strike to kill her. No way in HELL was I about to let that happen! I reacted on impulse and silently came up behind him. Driving my sword through his heart I watched carelessly as his breathing slowly stopped and he disintegrated to shadowy dust. I scoffed at his stupidity about not watching his back and then I knelt by Valory to make sure she was alive. Thank the Goddesses that she was.
Whistling to get Nightmare's attention, I hefted Valory into her saddle and then clambered up behind her. Speaking softly into Nightmare's ear I instructed her to take us back to the castle. As we rode back to the castle we were stopped by the Castle Guards. They seemed worried for Valory and I assured them that she would be just fine. As we came to the door I slid down from Nightmare and told a few guards to have her brought to the stable and fed a very delicious meal. I on the other hand carried Valory up to my bedroom and lay her on the bed.
I doubted there was anything left to do but let her rest so I left and went down to the Great Hall for a snack. It's true that I could have just gone to the kitchen, but the cook wouldn't allow me back in there after I had burnt an egg in there. Such a touchy women. Just one, ONE, egg and I wasn't allowed back into my kitchen? Hn. One of the servants came to me and asked what I would like. "Just an orange for now, Bella," I responded tiredly. She left and came back quickly with my orange so I headed off down into one of my secret chambers. The chamber where the Mirror of Dimensions resided. It was time to call upon Link and his friends.
I placed a hand on the mirror and whispered,"Hyrule Castle" and just like that an image of the castle came into view. "Link and Zelda," I said, and sure enough those two came into view. They were in the castle library and both went wide-eyed at seeing me. "Dark? Since when do you of all people contact us?" was Link's first words. Always speaking without thinking. Typical. Zelda on the other hand was more tactful and asked politle," Dark link has something happened? Is Shadow Hyrule under attack of some sort?" I smirked in amusement as the princess swatted the back of Link's head for his rudeness. "Hn," was my answer.
I waited somewhat patiently for Link to stop muttering under his breath before I answered more clearly. "I need you and your friends help Link. Ganondorf is back, and stronger than before. As for you Zelda, I need you and Link's friend Shadow to help me with...well this human who is now in my kingdom." Link gaped openly at me before shouting," WHAT?" I glared at him and he finally shut up. " Yes you idiot a human. Just like Shadow. The human is a girl. Her name is Valory and I need her to be taken care of. Right now I'm pretty sure that Ganondork( Zelda sniggered at this) and his minions are stirring up trouble in Shadow Hyrule. Thats what I need YOU for Link. And your friends. Even that annoying fairy Navi."
At this point Navi decided to make her presence known. In a high-pitched voice she screeched," HEY! WHO ARE YOU CALLING ANNOYING?". I winced. She was the same as ever. Zelda jumped in before Navi could start with the poor insults," So let me get this straight, Dark. You want Shadow and I to help your friend Valory recover while you, Link, and everyone else once again kick Ganondork's ass?" "Hn" " WHAT THE HELL KIND OF ANSWER IS HN DAMMIT?" shouted Link."Hn," I said again, just to piss him off more. Again Zelda jumped in just in time," Well I'll take that as a yes and yes of course I'll help and Link would be glad to help." "I would?" Link asked. I flashed a quick smile as I saw Zelda's expression turn deadly. "Yes you would," she growled.
"Ehehehe well then that's decided! We'll pack a few things and be there in a few hours Dark!" said Link as he sratched the back of his head with a forced smile on his face. What a bumbling idiot he could be sometimes. Great in battle, but slow as hell outside of it. I cleared the mirror and went back upstairs while eating my orange for I decided it was time to check on Valory again.
*Valory's P.O.V*
I groaned as I sat up, surprised that there wasn't a hard ground beneath me. Surprised that I was alive and not dead. I glanced toward the door as it oppened and saw that it was only Dark Link. Sighing in relief I layed back. "So how did I get back here?" I asked as Dark came and sat next to me on the bed. It took him a few moments to answer, but he finally did. "I killed that clone of Ganondorf and had Nightmare bring you and I back here to the castle. I knew you would live, so I brought you up here to my bed chamber so you could rest.
There will be two aretakers for you soon enough. Their names are Shadow and Zelda. You are also to treat Zelda with respect, she is Princess of Hyrule. Shadow is one of Link's best friends-" "Wait you mean Princess Zelda and Link, the Hero of Time? What about Saria and Darunia and Ruto and Impa and Nabooru?" I asked excitedly, forgetting that I had never told him who I really was for fear that he would think I was insane. Dark's eyes widened considerably and THATS when I realized what I had just done. "Ooops'" I whispered to myself, mentally facepalming. "By the Goddesses how do you know about all of them?" he questioned as he stared at me.
I looked away as I tried to figure out some way to answer him. I sighed as I began," I'm not from here. That much I know I told you. Back in my world there is a game called The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I always play it even though there are other games in The Legend of Zelda series. Ocarina of Time has always been my favorite though because I get to see...ummm...well anyway I always played that and the last time I played something went haywire, I blacked out, and was somehow here in Shadow Hyrule." I prayed that Dark wouldn't catch that I hadnt finished that one sentence but he did.
"Okay then. I guess I can believe you since I...since I trust you...but what was it that you got to see?" he inquired. I felt my cheeks flush as I opened my mouth to answer. "I always got to see you in the game, Dark Link. Always in the Water Temple. I always had to fight and beat you while playing as Link but I never wanted to beat you. You are my favorite character from the game." i could just imagine the look of disgust he would have on his face. My shoulders slumped as I pictured it in my head.
"Hn," he said. I tensed as I felt the bed shift, and then tensed even more as I felt his arms go around me. I was sure he would literally squeeze the life out of me. He didn't though. He just..hugged me. He didn't hurt me at all, he just hugged me gently. I relaxed after a minute and about five minutes later he let go. "Dinner should be ready in about an hour, I will come get you when it is done so far now you are to rest," he ordered. I turned toward his direction and smiled as he left the room closing the door behind him.
It seemed to be only a few minutes before I was once again woken up. Sighing in annoyance I rolled over. As I opened my eyes, I almost screamed. For above me was the last thing I had expected to see. The last thing i ever expected to wake me up. It was...!
