Sorry that I haven't updated in such a long time. I just recently read the fic through and the chapters don't look anything like how they showed up in my word document. Anyway, if someone is interested in the original documents, send an email to and I'll do my best to send them to you as soon as possible

A cold wind froze Link to his place, sitting right before Zora's river. It felt as if the goddesses themselves were weeping. The same cold feeling crept over Link's spine, temporary shielding him from the deity's overwhelming consciousness.

Staring at his reflection, the man he saw was a stranger to him. Dark tribal markings, made from fresh blood (not his own), hid his pale complexion. His hair was a rusty red colour, caked on blood covered his once golden hair. But it was his eyes that caught his glace.

Unfamiliar red eyes were staring at him. Nor the deity, nor Link possessed such eyes.

Sheikah eyes….

What had he done? He had allowed the deity to take control, to kill his friends, to kill the ones he loved. In a moment of utter despair he had willingly handed over control, hoping it would stop. Hoping that the bloodshed and pain, fear and death would leave him be if he gave into their demands. And now, he had just caused more of it.

Gripping his hair, he sand down to his knees. Using the somewhat bloody water from the fountain (he only briefly remembered killing the remaining Zora's who tried to kill him when he left Ruto's chamber), he whipped away the tribal markings.

That didn't have the effect he had hoped for. The memories were still there and so was his very object of fear. In fact, he was staring right at it. What the mighty hero, blessed by courage, feared the most, was what he had become, blinded by power, by hunger, by fear.

He knew that this temporary found control wouldn't last long, he could already feel the deity trying to seize it away from him. But he couldn't let him kill the remaining two (well three). He wouldn't let him kill Saria. He wouldn't let him hurt Zelda.

That's when a thought struck him. The only way to stop the deity…..

Was by committing suicide….

Time was running out, he would have to do it soon. If only he could tell everyone how sorry he was, that he had never meant for it to end this way.

But time was a luxury he no longer had. No longer did he have the power to life through three days for an eternity, heck he was even lucky if he had a few minutes left.

His right hand no longer did his biding, the deity was slowly winning control.

Drawing his already bloodstained sword with his left hand, he hoped that they would somehow find a way to understand.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He hardly noticed the pain, he almost laughed at it. If he had known that dying was this easy, he would have done it a long time before. His vision blurred, and he couldn't help but laugh. The sound startled him. It didn't sound like him, it sounded like a wounded animal, it even sounded like Gannondorfs maniacal laughter when he met his doom.

Heh, looks like the apple doesn't fall that far from the tree now does it?

Before he passed out, he swore he heard horses approaching him.

But they wouldn't safe him, his bloody stench would keep them at bay…

He would safe them from the evil he had become, he would safe her, even if it literally meant it was the last thing he did

He would have been right if the horses weren't carrying a certain princess with some of her guards…

I know, now what most of you were expecting, and to be honest, I can't really blame you.

Anyway, at least now you know how Link ended up in that cell.

Stay tuned, this isn't that last chapter (at least, I hope so)
