MWUAHAHAHAHAHAH *cough cough* HAHA! Don't own Zelda XP

Chapter 8: Resurection

A man bowed to the royal family, through his mind he was determining where the ranch owner's daughter had taken his horse. During the night of his special banquet that had been prepared for him, she had run off escaping to another part of hyrule. He just had to find where, but with the king and his daughter pestering him all day it's quite difficult to do.

"Your majesty, how may I be of service?" He looks at the floor.

The King sat in his throne, and his daughter sat next to him quietly; she had always been suspicious of her father's new advisor and never liked him when he was the Gerudo's representative.

"Ganon, I want you to go with the soliders to observe Hyrule. I can't always trust what my messengers bring me and I know I can trust you." The king held his head high with pride.

Ganon stood up, his hair a really dark redish orange and his uniform black with a cloak made with rare material from across the oceans. A large grin spreads across his face and bows to the king accepting the request. In his mind he is well pleased with the oppurtunity to scour the land for what is rightfully his.

"Very well, you start at dawn." The king stood up letting a servant take his crown and robes rushing off to put them in his chambers. It was the hour he went to study in the palace's library; only the royal family is able to access it, and he had many questions from the journals that were sitting on the shelves full of answers.

Zelda bid Ganon farewell, something was amiss, but her father wouldn't listen to her childish ramblings when she tried telling him that Hyrule might be in trouble by some great evil. He always told her that Hyrule has gone through years of troubles, and they have grown in battle strategies and read many of the scrolls that their ancestors had written for them. There was no need to fear.

She turned walking away and out of the room, she hated spending her time in there. It always got hot with all the servants, guards, and the other people who came to see the king. She made her way to the gardens where she always ended up spending her time ever since she was a child.

Ganon watched the royal family depart then advanced to his own chambers, his chance had arised and he wouldn't waist it. Tomorrow he would set off for the king's quest, and when he returned...He chuckled to himself his eyes seem to glint red as he disappears into the dark abyss of his rooms.

Hours past through the night and Ganon tossed and turned as dreams skipped through his head, something kept coming back, a warning. In one he could hear a child crying, and then another screaming, and then the sound of dripping water... More and more his mind was drawn further and further into the disturbing nightmares.

He found himself standing in a large room made of marble, a stone sat in the middle with an ancient powerful sword that contained the legendary triforce in the center. He grinned seeing his life long goal only a few feet away. His hand reached out, but it stopped only inches away by something. He forced his hand to move, but with no luck, it only stayed frozen there.

"What's going on?" He used all his strength to move, but he was still locked in place. He looked down and to his surprise his feet were turning to solid stone. "Hey!" He growls, now trying to move his feet. When his eyes glance towards the sword he gasps. It was gone, he clenched his teeth, his eyes darting around.

They finally land on a figure in the shadows. Eyes stare at him with hatred and sadness, ganon glared back at the electric blue eyes, the figure's face was hidden in shadows and in his hand he held the powerful sword.

Ganon blinked and the figure disappeared, he looked back down at his feet, but instead of seeing what he expected, there was a blood stained sword sticking out from his chest. He turned his head seeing a twelve year old boy with the same eyes.

He swung his arm aiming for the boy's jaw, but instead his target turned into mist. He suddenly heard a baby crying, and when he turned back around he was standing in a small dark room. A small music box began to play on a dark wooden chest as a mother held a small child, this wasn't a home near anywhere in Hyrule. This was a child from ancient times in a far off land.

When he looked at the child, anger began to build. He reached for the tiny neck wanting to strange and stop the yelling. The image insantly changed before him and a small boy around age five stood on a large mountain, ganon was floating on air watching from a distance his mind racing as to what was happening to him.

The child turned directly facing him the electric blue eyes piercing into his soul. the next thing he knew he was laying flat on his back looking at a never ending ceiling, it was as if he was being dragged into a dark abyss. The ground underneath him was cold and flooded with water rising just below his ears. A drop fell from the darkness landing on his cheek and slipping down and to his neck.

This isn't water...he thought as his eyes looked around him. It was blood.

Ganon shot up in bed, his mind racing, heart pounding, and sweat beading his forehead. He swung his feet off the side and took a wet towel in a nearby basin. What a crazy nightmare... He thought as he stood up pulling on his robe. It wasn't quite daylight yet, but in the distance he could see the feint trace of morning below the mountains.

"Rough night?" A voice echoed throughout the room, red eyes watched ganon intently, Ganon glared back glad the eyes weren't what he had seen minutes before.

"State your name, how did you get through my personal guard?" He demanded angry that someone had intruded in his privacy.

The figure walked out of the shadows, he was dressed in a black tunic his hair darker than twilight, a silk black hat sat on his head simply and a grim expression upon his face. His eyes were red as the blood from ganon's dream and a shadow blade was at his side.

"My name is Shadow. I come from the darkness of another's soul. I was drawn to your presence for some reason." His eyes are sharp and full of irritation. "It was simple getting past your boy scouts. They didn't see me as I used the multiple portals in the castle."

"Portals?" Ganon asked.

"Mirrors." Shadow grinned as he pointed back over his shoulder with his thumb at ganon's large ornate mirror. "Very easy actually."

Ganon lights a candle holding it up, he almost drops it as Shadow's resemblance matched almost to to the child in his dream, only older. "Why are you here?

"I told you...I was drawn here." He crosses his arms irritably. "If I have to repeat everything I say I may as well leave."

"I didn't ask you to come here anyway, I don't need anyone's help."

Shadow gave a long sigh, with a fast fist his hand shot out punching through the desk next to him. His hand touched something soft then pulled it out to look at.

"A black feather?" Shadow stared at it for the longest time. "I understand who you are now." He lets go of the feather, gravity letting it drop extremely slow. "I would do some more reading if I were you." The feather comes closer to the ground.

"What do you mean reading? I have a mission tomorrow that must be dealt with firmly." Ganon watched the feather drift lower and lower.

Shadow smerked. "Perhaps. But time is racing, and darkness is rising. I know the only hatred in your heart is of a thief. You sir, have the ability to rule. You dream of the mythical blade, The Master Sword," Shadow chuckles and holds up his hand, the feather becomes closer and closer to the ground as if time itself has slowed. An image appears in his palm, multiple shards of a golden object.

"The triforce." Ganon realizes how much he could gain by his ranking, he could become the most powerful man in Hyrule. "How do you know so much of the ancient world?"

"Because I have lived in those times, I am the same darkness from the Hero of Time throughout history ever since he existed. I know things that could break apart your very soul Ganon." Shadow's fangs glint in the dimness of the room. The feather stops inches from the ground.

"No one speaks of him no longer." Ganon states.

"Perhaps not." His face becomes grim again. "I can see your desires and goals." He walks forward, His hand raises and touches his fingers to Ganon's forehead. "." The room explodes into shards of darkness, shadow andn ganondorf find themselves standing in an empty realm.

Ganondorf's hand twitches slightly as he raises it up, the chuckle starts deep down in his throat then into insane laughter. "Such a good servant Shadow. Releasing me from that imprisonment."

Shadow bows down, but even though Ganondorf can't see it, regret is in his eyes, hatred even. "I couldn't just leave you trapped sir."

Ganondorf clenches his hands, his gauntlets sharpen at the knuckles. When he looks at shadow, Shadow's whole body is forced to his feet. Shadow glares at the lord of darkness holding back the urge to stab a knife through his heart.

"You couldn't leave me there, because I control you."

Shadow growls angrily and lets his fist fly hitting the power hungry man in the chest. The blow bends his army slightly, but wasn't strong enough to knock the air out of him. Ganondorf laughs insanely.

"Be thankful for me, Shadow." He says with a vicious hiss, and with that the room is restored back to normal, the black feather finally touches the ground a small breeze rustling the tinier feathers on it.

Shadow turns from him putting a hand on the large mirror. "Good luck in your search." He thankfully disappears through the mirror. Ganondorf watches the sun rise savoring the sense of power within his soul, he was now capable of doing so much more then he had been able to only moments before.

"Now to find that thief." He stalks out of the room, Soldiers watch surprised and almost frightened as his footsteps echo through the halls. They stand at attention as he passes; when he does he looks them all directly in the eye, a dull expression seems to pass across their faces as he makes his way to the horse stables.
