The place you had chosen to be your new palace was the Wind Fortress. Yes, it was a bit more like creepy ruins of some ancient civilization, but you could definitely fix it up using your newfound magic. And besides, wasn't creepiness originally what you were going for? So you ventured out West through Castor Wilds, trailing behind another traveler who you thought was going to the exact same place as you. It was a boy dressed in a green tunic, who wore a talking bird cap that looked oddly familiar to you. It reminded you of somebody you used to know, though you couldn't quite put your finger on who it was. Anyway, you never recalled knowing any talking bird hats, so you dismissed it as highly that implausible you ever met him before.
The boy in green made his way through the old ruins, while you stealthily crept behind, staying in the shadows where you wouldn't be noticed. He had solved various puzzles and fought countless monsters of the area before finally reaching a large, locked door. He took a huge key from his pocket while both him and his hat held their breath, muttering something like "let's hope this is the one" Slowly and tentatively, he turned the key in the lock and tried to open the door. Once it moved, they both let out the breath they were holding and walked in, closing the door behind them. You tried to follow in, but found that the door wouldn't budge. Had they locked you out!? In a huff, you turned around and took a seat on a rock nearby. Even if you did get in, they would notice you, and you didn't want this little child to know where your palace was going to be. You sighed, looking down at the floor. Now was the perfect time to reflect on things, or think of what you would do to improve these shabby old ruins. Maybe you would put some extra spikes in, just to make it look more menacing. There were already bones everywhere, which was a plus in that you wouldn't have to wait until people came for it to look like it had been here for ages.
You started to drift off into a daydream. You were Y/n, Keeper of the Death Coliseum, and not just yourself anymore. You were sitting on a throne, reading a newspaper in which your name was on the front headline. "Diabolical Overlord Kidnaps the Princess!" it read. Looking over at Zelda, you started to laugh.
"And they all thought I was just a regular girl from the Minish Village… look at me now, having capturing the princess with my name on all the papers, and not a hero in sight to save her!"
You were so lost in thought that you didn't notice the dark shadow forming below you that certainly wasn't yours. There was a noise coming from above that you noticed only a moment too late. Your eyes widened in fear as a giant reddish hand dropped from the ceiling and grabbed onto you, causing you to shout quite loudly.
"HOLY SHIT! GET THE HELL OFF ME! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" you yelled, even in knowing that it probably couldn't understand a word you were saying. You tried pretty much everything to get it to let you go, including setting it partially on fire, but all your attempts failed. Next it lifted you into the air, carrying you to God knows where. You struggled free eventually, but by that time you were already in a completely different room. Whoever built this place was really good at making really frustrating dungeons.
In the middle of the room there was a red square with a moving pattern inside of it, somewhat hypnotizing. You moved closer to investigate, questioning as to what it might do. A few moments later, you found yourself stepping into the square, curiosity taking hold of you. You seemed to… dematerialize. That was the only word that fit what happened. It was like one moment you existed, and the next moment you were just… gone. There was no transition between the two states.
You were back at the other room when you rematerialized, feeling slightly dizzy. The big door was open and you peeked in, seeing another one of those squares and a pedestal where it looked like there was some sort of artifact. The boy had probably taken it and left through the teleportation square thing, leaving you as the only one in the dungeon. You immediately got to work conjuring your own servants from the shadow realm.
"Now, the first priority will be to eliminate all of these!" you told them, pointing to a picture on your blackboard of one of the hands that had taken you back to the room at the dungeon's beginning. They saluted you and immediately ran off to do their work. You started humming a tune, writing down idea on what you could do with this place. This time, you noticed the dark shadow form from overhead. "AW, HELL NO!"
Hope you thought this chapter was better than the last one! I'll update more very soon!
