Wow, my story is quite depressing! XD That's strange since I am very rarely upset. I'm just trying to picture how a person would feel if they were living in darkness.

Anyway thanks for the review Evilblood! Perfect word to describe my story~ :D

Link: Age 10

"Perhaps the boy is too weak?"

"Ridiculous! He will awaken soon enough. And when he does, we will show him this cruel world through our eyes."

Voices? Were they speaking about me? Where am I? And why can't I move...? I feel like every part of my body is being weighed down, including my eyelids. Am I, still alive? I didn't think death would feel like anything. Apparently I'm wrong...

No, I just need more strengh. I am alive, I know I am. I must be...

"Are you sure he will listen?" The voice sounded like a woman. Why am I here...? What happened to me? I don't remember anything... The more I try to remember anything of my past, the less I see. Why can't I just wake up?

"He will not have a choice. He will follow our commands and become one of us." A deep, icy voice sounded. I couldn't tell if that voice sounded familiar or not... And who is 'one of us'?

I heard footsteps fade into the distance, along with the faint sound of a closing door, followed shortly after by a gentle sigh from beside me.

My head feels painful, but why? I felt more energy return to me with each passing second, and at the same time, more pain against my forehead.

I squinted at the pain as it grew worse. At least I was growing more conscious as time passed.

I was finally able to half open my eyes. Though everything I saw looked like a blurred mixture of dull colours. I blinked a few times before my vision began to focus.

"Link?" I heard the woman's voice again. But I don't understand... Who's Link? ...Is that, my name...? Or maybe there's someone else in the room? Maybe I'll remember when this pain subsides and when I can think straight. Maybe... Hopefully...

I slowly tilted my head to the side to see the woman that had spoken. She watched me as I studied her face. I wasn't sure whether I had seen her before... She wore a dark robe that covered her body from head to foot, filled with strange, luminous markings; Her skin tone resembled a pale turquoise; Her irises were a deep red, with her sclera a gentle shade of yellow that reflected through her feminine shaped eyes; Her auburn hair hung down beneath her hood, joined delicately together at the end, against her chest.

She smiled down at me, "You feeling alright kid?"

My face was fixed into a permanent state of confusion, and my head ached with pain, though luckily enough for me to manage. I don't feel alright at all, I feel entirely lost...

"I guess you're wondering where you are?" She continued.

I stared blankly at her as she watched me carefully. I can hear her words but it's like I can't process them to make any sense...

"Wh-who are y-you?" I managed to ask. I could feel my body slightly trembling, and my voice sounded so faint. Was that really my voice...?

"My name's Midna." She smiled gently. "How're you feeling?"

"...M-my head hurts. What h-happened to me?"

"Do you not remember?"

"Remember what? I-I don't r-remember anything."

"So the stone worked..." She mused, placing a hand against her chin in a thoughtful gesture.

"Stone?"

She looked back towards me "Oh... Do you remember your name?" She quickly asked.

I thought for a moment, trying to find the place in my mind that hid my memories from me. But everytime when I try to think about the past, my head just switches off.

"My name...?" I glanced around at my surroundings. I hadn't really noticed I was in a small room, lying on a bed untill just now. The room was quite dark with the walls and floor made of dull coloured stone. A large window stood at the end of the room, opposite the door, and the bed lay between the two, against the wall at their side. There wasn't much else in the room, besides a small desk that lay opposite the bed in one corner.

There was no one else in the room besides the two of us. "Is my name Link?" I asked. I had began to calm down as the pain slowly reduced.

"You aren't sure?"

"I heard you say Link. Didn't you say that to me? There's no one else here."

"Yes." She replied simply.

"How do you know who I am? Did I know you before?" I asked as I struggled into a sitting position.

"No but you knew, Ganondorf very well..."

I tilted my head to one side as I spoke, "Who's Ganondorf?"

She raised to her feet, "I will get him for you. He will be pleased to hear you have awakened." She smiled nervously before heading towards the door. I waited for a few moments, pondering on what my life might've been like in the past. I wonder if I have any family or friends. Maybe I've always lived here, or had I lived somewhere else? I pulled a strand of my hair forward to examine how I look; it appeared to be blonde... I wonder what my face looks like- I don't even know, I can't remember.

I looked down at my clothes: I was wearing a green tunic, with brown leather boots.

I held my hand out in front of me, as if seeing it for the very first time in my life.

As I continued to twist my hand, studying both sides, I spotted a mirror on the desk at the far side of the room. Placing my hand down, I climbed off the bed, gently rising to my feet. I began to walk towards the mirror-Quite wobbly at first, but I got used to it after a moment.

I grew closer to the mirror, and with each step, the blurred figure on the other side of the reflection also moved forward.

Once I reached close enough, I stood a few centimetres away from the mirror and gently brushed away the dust that covered the reflection, at the same time as the stranger opposite.

My hand slowly moved down to rest against the desk for support as I gazed at the boy that stood perfectly still. I leaned closer, as did the stranger. I didn't recognise him. Why couldn't I recognise him? How could I not know who he is if he is who I am...?

I studied him carefully, though it felt like I was seeing a stranger rather than myself...

His eyes are a deep cerulean blue. His ears are long and pointed. I raised a hand to touch my own ear- they were... the same.

His face resembles a young childs and his expression is confused.

Is that really me?

Footsteps approached and the door opened as Midna and another large, dark man stepped through, followed by two odd looking beastly creatures.

I turned to face them as the man came towards me.

He stopped in front of me, towering above my head with his arms folded, a sinister smile tightening his lips.

"Well my boy, you are finally awake."

"Yes." I replied, taking a step backwards, "Are you Ganondorf?"

"You do not remember me?"

I shook my head.

"Link," He began, I studied his face, he seemed familiar but I can't figure out why, "I have decided to adopt you as my son."

"Your... son?"

"That is correct. Do not worry Link, you are safe with us. You may not remember anything, but I am sure we will be able to regain your memory. I will teach you everything you used to know..."

Link: Age 17

My father...

He taught me much about the real world. How Hylians rule the land, and take everything for themselves. Their selfish minds, filled with greed, leave nothing for the likes of us. I know I'm Hylian, but my father saved me from their clutches, I am nothing like them: I have my own mind and I understand what this world truely consists of. Every single other Hylian all think alike, they're all mind manipulated to think and act in similar manners!

I've never cared for those pathetic hylians and why should I? They're the ones that ruin lives for others and I'd be happy to destroy any hylian that walks in my direction. After all, that can't be so cruel considering they do it themselves as a natural hobby to our kind. I hate every last hylian on this planet and that will never change.

That man wandered into our territory. No Hylian steps foot into our land, not one of them at least. He deserved to die for his foolishness. We claimed this territory, riding it of any Hylians we came across. It is our land, and we will not allow any Hylian to touch our land ever again. And not just Hylians, but all those idiotic races that support the Hylians: Goron's, Zora's, Kokori...

My father always said to never allow a Hylian to wonder our land without showing them a certain exit first!

I was called a traitor by a Hylian once. At that time I didn't understand, until I realized they were speaking about my race, and how he and I are both Hylian. I was a traitor for betraying my race? I was a traitor for being tossed aside and left to die, by my own race. Ganondorf had told me how he found me unconscious in this woods, left helpless by the Hylians. How they had attacked me without a care. He stopped them and saved my life. I would've been dead if he hadn't come...

And what's worse, they had wiped out my memory, so now I can't even remember what I had done wrong.

I still don't remember my past, before Ganondorf had saved me. Not even slightly... And now I might never know, all because of them.

I guess I'll just have to stop dwelling in the past that won't return and look to the future.

Easier said than done- it feels as though there's a giant hole stretched through my memory, as if i'm forgetting something important...

The lost woods- we're one in the same. I have no idea who I am. That man... he was as lost as me, however in a different sense.

And here I sit surrounded by the woods, on top of a large withered tree as rain solemnly falls from the dark clouds and hits against the ground repeatedly, washing the blood that covered the man's body away, as well as washing away the blood that stained my dark tunic and the tip of my sword... And the night wind mourns a haunting melody through the trees.

Thanks for reading! Review pwease!
