AN: I had previously had a different work by the same name but was unable to move forward with it; so I decided to rewrite it, to past readers some things will be the same while other parts might be different.

Also for new readers, Link is female in this fanfic but some of the links from past games will be mentioned.

He did nothing and yet here he was, about to die all because he wasn't the one they wanted. He wasn't a hero that was promised, he was only a temporary vessel for powers beyond anyone's comprehension.

They had called him a liar. the king stripped him of everything he once held dear... well not everything he still had his sister, but what would happen to her once he died? like him, she would be cast off and forgotten. Like him, she would have nothing but her own life. But even his life will be gone in a few moments.

Killed by the people he loved and protected. People who thought him to be the evil spirit known as Ganon and those lies had frightened the people of Hyrule. that fear turned to anger, an anger that demanded his head.

He was a man the royal family needed to destroy before he destroyed everything.

A man who was beaten and bruised.

A man who wished for death.

He was going to get his wish, the pain, and feeling of betraying will fade.

The only regret he had was not listening to Link, leaving his younger sibling with nothing and no one.

Please don't hate me for leaving you alone in this world. that was his last thought before the sword came down upon him.
