Avril555: Yes, The Rise of a Hero is the rewrite of both The Death of a Hero and this story (I decided to combine the two and change some things). I like the idea that you have for your story, it sounds interesting! If I can help with it in any way please let me know :)
This next chapter is more of a monologue (with some comments from Link throughout)
Chapter 13
A Lesson in History
Dako - Once upon a time, (Link groans) in a land not so far away, a man fell in love with a woman, a Gerudo woman, to be exact. They had a perfect life together; they even had a perfect child. A son. The first male child to be born into the woman's race in 100 years. (Link – I KNOW all of this! Can you puh-lease get on with it?) This boy was destined to rule the planet, to bring it out of its ruined state. (Neither of them notices Lya crouched just inside the door watching and listening)
He grew up a powerful and respected man; he was even worked his way into the king's court. But when he was 27 years old, his mother tried to kill him. She said he was evil for his ideas of dominating the planet, and that she would not let him succeed. But he thwarted her attempts, and made her death look like a simple accident. His father mourned her for a week; then he set off to find a new bride for himself. He married a simple village girl. A commoner, while he himself was a prince in his own right. He hid his lineage from his new wife, and they had two children; a boy and a girl. The son of his first wife was furious. He tried to destroy the peasant girl and her children. But all he succeeded in doing was killing his father.
As the father lay dying at his son's feet, he told him that his half-brother was destined to destroy him and everything he stood for. The first son could not have this. So he set out to kill both of his half-siblings, for he wanted to take no chances, and wanted to kill the sister, too. But their mother, that devious little common urchin, she hid the sister with her own mother, and took the boy to hide him in the forest. But the first son followed her, and caught her on a stormy night.
He gave her a fatal blow, but she managed to get away with the boy, and give him to a creature that protected him until he was old enough to know the truth. Then she died from the wound given to her by the first child of her husband. (Link – Ohmigosh, could you have taken any longer to tell this story?) The first son figured that he was free from his pesky half-siblings and never gave another thought about them, until one day when he was at Hyrule Castle.
He was kneeling before the king, thinking about how the throne should rightfully be his, instead of King Daltus's and the pesky brat, Zelda's. He caught a flash of movement at the window. When he turned his head, he saw a ghost. The little brother that he thought that he had rid himself of. He smirked at the boy, because he could see the ignorance in the boy's face. It was a crossroads for them both. The man could have left off his plan of dominating the planet, but he didn't. The boy could have chosen not to get involved, but he did. So, the man rose to power over seven years, while the boy had disappeared. Then the boy reappeared, and he destroyed the man, just as their father had said.
A year or so later, the man was revived, but the boy was waiting for him. He destroyed him once again. This cycle continued on for over a decade. But something the boy – now a man – did not know was that his worst enemy had a child with another Gerudo. A son, called Dakaraso.
