p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was definitely Ganon, but at the same time it wasn't him at all./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"The man standing before me was tall. His hair was still fiery and red, his skin tan as leather, but everything else about him was different, more menacing and radiating power./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"His chuckle woke me from my stupor and I quickly readied myself in a defensive position and took note of my surroundings./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"There were guards, if they even were guards, all around me in a loose circle with Ganon directly in front of me. He no longer wore the palace armor, but instead leather braces and clothing fit for traveling and quick fighting./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;""What do you want?" I asked finally, the silence and my speeding thoughts whirling around my head./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"Ganon's face relaxed into a less hostile look and he crossed his arms, his golden eyes blazing as they gazed at me./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;""First, I needed to get you away from those obnoxious Hyrulians. But really, I'm just here to talk to you." He ended his sentence with a smug look./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"I shifted from foot to foot and stood up straight with my nose in the air. Keeping my face blank I responded. "This is no way to treat Gerudian royalty and I know you are aware of that. Tell your men to back off or I shall have to remove them myself."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"He threw his head back and laughed, but didn't move. "Princess," he said. "Nothing would bring me more pleasure than seeing you try."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"Before he had time to say anything else I was already moving./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"I had counted the number of guards he had and I was outnumber nine to one, including Ganon himself. I figured he could probably fight by the look of his body, so I avoided him when I took action./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"The closest guard to my was directly behind me and I took him down my dropping to one foot and tripping him with a kick to his ankle. As he fell I elbowed him in the face, breaking his nose. The two next to him moved first, and still on the ground I slipped into the splits and wrapped on leg around each of theirs and yanked them together so their heads smashed into each others. I ducked and rolled out from under them and turned to the next closest body./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"The next man had a dagger, and a quick glance at Ganon showed he wasn't worried about my safety with his smug grin. Lunging towards the man he thrust the knife my way but I simply grabbed his hand and cartwheeled parallel to him. Hearing the snap in his wrist was all I needed to continue to yank him closer, pull the dagger from his limp hand and thrust it into his side./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"As I did this I felt arms grab me from behind. With my arms constricted I pushed off the ground with my legs hard enough to push back and slip from the arms around me and slide down the man's back and stab the knife into his spine. He yelled but it didn't even phase me and I pushed him crumpling body into one of the men rushing my way./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"As one man caught the body, two others ran at me. I ran towards then and dropped to the ground and slip between the legs of one man then popped up in the middle of them. Not stopping to see their expressions, I reached behind me and threw my arms around one mans neck while flinging my legs up to catch the other mans neck with my legs. Suspended between the two I twisted my body and heard the menacing crack of both their necks as they fell to the ground with me landing besides them in a crouch./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"Looking up I saw the last man holding the body of the man I had stabbed in the back. He looked scared but that didn't mean he would escape me. Throwing myself at him I almost had a hold of him before I suddenly found myself being lifted from behind./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;""No! Let go of me!" I screamed, attempting to twist my body out of the arms encasing me./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"A low chuckle in my ear. "Can't have you killing all of my men, someone has to lead the horses of course." Ganon's voice said./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"No matter how I jerked about, Ganon's arms were like iron and it felt like he was anticipating my moves before I even did them./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"As the man in from of me looked relieved, he put down the body and started tending to the others./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"Stopping my struggles, I turned to glance at Ganon. The sight of him momentarily set me back. He was nothing like I remembered. His skin was rough and thick looking, his hair wild, eyes blazing, his features were sharp and strong. His body was hard behind mine and towered above me. Even his scent was different, like a bunch of wild spices mixed together to form some sort of crazy musk./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"One side of his mouth lifted up as he looked down on me. "There we are, are you going to play nice now?" He asked./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"I smiled sarcastically at him. "I do remember telling you to call off your men, and if you would be so kind as to release me I wont' run until I have an explanation for this."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;""Not that you could get very far if you did." Nonetheless despite his words I felt his arms loosening and I jerked out of his grip and away, never turning my back to him./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;""Now talk! What is this about? I could have you beheaded for this!"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"Ganon crossed his arms again and look at me. "That was a test of your skill, I knew you were a good fighter, I heard stories, but I needed to make sure of them."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"I glared at him and crossed my own arms. "Why do you need to test my skills?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"He smiled slightly but his expression was hard to read. "Why, to make sure my wife will be able to keep up with me physically of course." He said matter of fact./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"I felt shocked but didn't show it. All I did was raise my eyebrow. "You're crazy."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"This time he slowly began to walk towards me. I refused to move and stood my ground until he was flush up against me, looking down on me with a grin on his face./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"I'd be lying if I said there wasn't an attraction to him that I felt deep down inside. And once I was attracted to him, more than I was willing to admit to anyone at the time, even myself./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"But now he was completely all man./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;""I'm not and you know it, that day four years ago you rejected me unrightly so, and now I'm coming back to claim what is mine." He said this while staring straight into my eyes, my neck craned up to look at him./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;""And how exactly are you going to get me to marry you? I do believe what you have done here today is kidnapping." I stated./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"His smile only increased and I got shivers when I felt his hands sliding up my arms./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;""By threat if I have to, but by bedding you will be enough."/p
