{{ A Kiss in the Dark }}

"Arise!" Yelled a voice from the outside."Arise, my faithful minion of darkness! Take forth your step to the world to deliver my hell!"
    In a dark coffin, within in a dark crypt laid many of dead corpse on the ground. The floor was absolutely stained with the brown color of dried blood. The whole place smelled putrid and the air was musky with the stench. Inside of the coffin was a body of a youth, no older than seventeen. His long raven black hair was, despise his poor help of keeping it clean, was silky.
    His skin was deadly pale, which one could probably say he was dead. Upon hearing those words, the youth opened his eyes which were the rich color of crimson. Taking a deep breath, the youth took one step forward onto the cold stone floor. When he got his whole body out of the coffin, the man stood there, naked and cold.
    In front of him was now the silhouette of a tall, dark, and huge man. Probably an older man than he was. His eyes were ruby colored too, but his skin was a sick olive green and his hair was rather orange to say the least. Behind him were two piggish guards holding spears in his hand.
"Here," Spoke the man."Take these rags. Wear them. After you're done, I will have to tell you about your mission."
    The youth looked at the clothes that were handed to him. It was an ebony tunic with jade tights and black boots to go with them. Examining them closely, the youth put on the undergarments than the tunic. When he had finished dressing, he saw his reflection on an old shield on the ground. His black hair was pulled in a pony tail, hidden under his hat.
    Looking around the old rustic ruins of the place he stood in, he found nothing but dead things. Taking in a deep breath, he almost choked on the air of the putrid smell. The man that gave him his clothes looked at him and smiled a malevolent type smile. To this reaction, the youth didn't do anything but stare.
"You have finally awoken," Spoke the tall man."Look at me! I am Ganondorf, King of the Gerudos and King of Evil. I am your sole creater and master. From now on, you will obey only me."
The shadow tried to open his mouth to say something, but he could say anything.
"Ha!" Yelled the man."Trying to talk, eh? Well, I did give you a soul, but you aren't quite finished. I still need to give you a voice and more. A name should be most important. You are Dark Link and you were created from my power and took the image of my nemesis."
Dark Link looked a little confused, but managed to nod once he understood.
"You will need some special training, my dear boy. But of course you need voice. Arid yioun careet dosd havo gyet!"
    When the King of Evil chanted those words, a strange light from his hand was emitted. The rays of red and purple with black had turned into a vortex. The vortex then surrounded the brunette at which that point, he fell to the ground. Grasping onto his throat, the youth felt a strong force upon it.
    He had started to cough and wheeze as some blood came out of his mouth. Very soon, the ruby-eyed teen let out a loud scream pain as he got from the floor and looked at Ganondorf. Pain was in his eyes, but he had to with stand it. The vortex disappeared and the boy relaxed from the pain of it all.
"Well...." Spoke Ganondorf."I hope that wasn't too bad for you, Dark."
"....N-n...n-no...not-t-t...ahaaah..at not at all.....not at all." Responded the shadow, amazed at his own actions.
"Hmm, you see. I did give you a voice. Use it wisely, or I will remove it from you."
"Y-y-ye..yes sire."
"Next, you will have to learn who is your friend and who is your foe. Now, let me tell you about your foes."
    Dark Link took a seat on the cold, dead ground as he listened to the story of his master. The king spoke about an old woman named Impa who was a Sheikah and a powerful one. Next, he had heard about the Six Sages and how they will be able to stop them. After that, the Gerudo spoke about a mummified boy named Sheik who happened to be a thorn on his side.
"And finally," Said the green skinned man."There is one left. The most strongest and dangerous of all."
"Who is it, master?" Asked Dark Link with anticipation in his voice.
"He is the one I named you after. He is..."
    As the old man spoke, he used his Triforce piece to show a visual of his main enemy was. A large cloud of purple smoke appeared in his hands as he made it into a screen. The screen then shown a picture of a youth that looked almost like the brunette except he was a blonde with sapphire eyes. To Dark Link, he was handsome.
"This brat here that looks like you is Link. He is the Hero of Time and must be stopped. He is the only one that will ruin my plans for world domination. He may not look like it, but he is quite dangerous. That's why you must train. And it begins now."
    The vision disappear in a cloud of smoke in the air. The shadow was a bit disappointed, but never the less, he waited for instructions. The old man fly into the ceiling where he had vanished. Dark Link wondered if he could do that too. He tried, but nothing had happen.
"You idiot!" Yelled the King of Evil."You can't do that yet, but I have something else in mind. Go through that door on your right. There inside are a course of obstacles. Complete them for your next test. Of course, there will be some enemies, but try to fight without a weapon."
    Confused with what the old man had spoken, the brunette went through the door to his first test. To his amazement from his ruby eyes, all over the place where spikes, blades, holes, holographic holes, Re-Dead, Gibdos, Like-likes, Keese, Wall Masters, Floor Masters, and Dead Hands.
    None of the beast did scare the youth, but did managed to annoy him. As he ran through the room, he ducted down, avoiding the blades from decapitating him. Then he leaped over the holes, but almost fell into the abyss when he mistook a fake looking piece of floor for actual floor.
    Next where Re-Dead, the dead zombies had frozen the youth, but he managed to move a bit to at least kick them or punch them. One of the monster bit his arm, trying to eat it. Dark Link flared up as he slammed the zombie to the ground and beat it to death. Blood started to leak from the boy as he continued to run the course.
    Keese flew, preventing him to see. A Like-Like saw him and swallowed him, savoring the flavor of his skin. Using only his instincts to fend off, Dark Link bit the beast, rendering it to spit him out. The grosteque monster howled in pain, as Dark Link pushed it off the edge of where they were standing to the pit where spikes where held.
    After much fighting and blood spilling, the youth managed to get to the end of the course. Tired, yet he felt a strange feeling like he wanted to do it some more. More...killing. The taste of blood on his lips made the youth crave for more. After that test, he was sent to another.
    Meanwhile in the endless fields of Hyrule, a lone figure mounting a gallant steed was taking a relaxing time to enjoy the scenery of the land. His lovely golden hair waved along with the sensation of the gentle wind as he raced in incredible speeds. His soft pale skin had shown liveliness in his features.
    He laughed heartily to the calmness that he was feeling to be out of that hot crater and into the fresh air. He missed the nice sensation of it as he took deep breaths. His cool sapphire eyes had shown gentleness and love in them, yet inside he felt lonely and empty. On his shoulder, hanging tight was his fairy friend, Navi.
"Link." She piped as loud as she could to get the boy's attention."Hey! Listen! We need to go the Zora's Domain! Can't you feel the cold wind?"
"Yes..." Responded Link as he stopped his faithful horse, Epona."You're right. There's great evil in there....*under his breath* yet there's nothing scarier and evil then Ruto*"
"Then, let's go!"
    Looking in the direction of the water, the young man galloped into the direction. As he walked along the river, he felt the cool breeze become stronger and more violent. Tiny snowflakes fell from the sky as he managed to get to the waterfall and play Zelda's Lullaby.
    The cavern was revealed and the teen entered the domain. To his surprise he saw nothing but ice. Cold shivers ran down his spine as he carefully walked on the ice. Looking down, he saw the horrific faces of the frozen Zoras. He ran up to where King Zora was and stood in fear. The fish king was totally frozen.
    Shaking off his sensations, the youth ran to where Lord Jabu-Jabu once stood and saw nothing but ice and frozen water. The liquid was frightfully cold that it made his legs a bit numb. But Navi kept insisting to look into the cavern which was located at the far end of the lake. Taking a big gulp, Link rushed towards the cavern.
    Back in the old lair, Dark Link had managed to defeated and kill all of his enemies and had gotten Ganondorf's approval. The youth was becoming more dangerous and bloodthristy with every attack he was making. Finally, he had finished his tasks and waited for the old man to come to him.
"Very good, Dark Link," Spoke Ganondorf."Excellent. You are by far the best minion I have created yet. I believe you are ready for your true task since time is running out and you are ready."
"I am so, your Highness." Replied the brunette.
"Good. I'm pleased with you. All right, this is what I want you to do: go to the Water Temple, inside their will be my water demon, Morpha. Don't mind him, since he can't talk and I didn't bother with it. Also inside will be that brat, Princess Ruto. Don't mind her either since she will fish food for Morpha. Your task is to eliminate the Hero of Time. Don't fail me!"
"I will comply, sire."
"Good, now be off!"
    When the youth had managed to get in the Water Temple, he hated to wait. For a while, he did nothing but stare into the endless abyss. But yet, the face of that blonde boy haunted his mind. He had never seen anything with yellow hair before or with such soft looking skin.
    Inside of his heart, Dark Link felt a sensation he had never felt before. He wasn't sure what it was but it made him feel warm and yet hurt at the same time. Those cerulean eyes were quite enchanting as he kept thinking more about them. He wanted to meet him, but at the same time he didn't want to.
    His master wanted him to kill this creature, but the brunette didn't want to. What he wanted to do was just be with him, talk to him, and then....he didn't know. He just felt strange and wanted to know, but the king of evil never told him about his feelings. Just then, a noise interrupted his thoughts.
    Quickly, the shadow hid into the only tree in the room and camoflaouged with it. In the corner of his eye, he saw the figure of his thoughts. It was the boy with the yellow hair and blue eyes. He looked even more lovelier in person. A slight blush had appeared on Dark Link's face as the handsome, tall, and light figure walked towards the tree.
