Edit: Hey everyone Maria has been busy so the chapters that are currently up are being reposted to both here and DA, also Twisted has been finished I'm just not going to post all the chapters until Maria edits them all so I won't have to update over and over again.
Also at my DA I started an ask with Demise and The First Link a while back, forgot to mention it sorry. If anyone wants to ask them anything, anything at all please go ahead xD Be warned if it has to do with the fanfic and it hasn't been seen yet they won't answer as its a spoiler.
Hello everyone TheOddshipper here and I'm updating the chapters since I have a new editor credit due right now here they are: Maria65 They can also be found on DA: Maria65 Go check them out!
Now, I had another editor before and they're edits are still here so: TyrantChimera Both of these people helped me I thank you both.
Oh to the person who left a review you know who you are I'm sorry but I don't ship Demise/Ganon and Link. Can't seem to get into it...but you know I could try for your sake...I mean I never gave it a go I just don't like reading it. I'll give it try.
Annnd f you want me to reply to your reviews STOP DOING IT AS A GUEST! I can't reply to guest comments- gah reviews!
To the other person who wrote this, " It's a shame, really. The summary sounded most promising and I had originally intended on reading this story- until I saw how troubling your formatting was.
I can't have been the only one, and I highly suggest you consider tweaking your way of doing things. It's hard on the eyes, not to mention a little startling to have to see all that bold type all the time.
I hope I did not ruin your day with my review. Sometimes I can be a little harsh with my words without meaning to, and I don't mean to belittle you.
Feel free to take my criticism as a grain of sand if you wish. As I said, it's entirely a matter of personal opinion."
Uh...can someone explain what this person meant by formatting? I got another person talk about and they thought it was fine but I have no fing clue what they are going on about.
As for the bold, well right here it separate my notes from the fanfic since I don't know how to add extra spaces. The bold you'll find down below? That is Demise talking while he is in the form of Demise, The Demon King. I've seen people put in bold and italics when someone is talking or thinking so, please explain why you don't like it when I do it. Am I doing it wrong?
Now I'm not mad, I'm just wondering what the problems are and how to fix them so please, let me know.
With all that said please enjoy the fanfic, favorite and follow if you greatly and enjoy it and please, review even if its just to point out a mistake Because then, I can fix it and people who come later won't have to deal with it.
All that done some edits have been made and things look better.
Enjoy xD
The first Zelda, otherwise known as Sky Zelda, kept glancing at the first hero. Her Link was discussing his fight with Demise to the newest Link. He had recently died of sickness, he had suffered a lot before his death...at least now in the heavens he wouldn't ever be sick or in pain anymore.
The tavern was a bit empty today, so it was very quiet. It was late afternoon so other Links and Zeldas were getting lunch, the tavern was best for drinking or having a party.
Looking back to the first Link made her pause. He was looking a little pained…she swore she had seen that look before…
Sup I'm a memory start xD
"Link are you alright?" Hylia asked her hero. "I'm fine, don't worry…" Link assured her, trying to cease her worry.
His expression didn't clear up. She hoped the darkness she felt in his room had just been her imagination. It hadn't…had it?
Sup I'm a memory ending xD
Zelda blinked, coming out of the memory, he had that look before…something was off here. He stood slowly without making a sound and left the tavern, yet no one noticed. "Z, where are you going?" The first Zelda looked at her Link, whom had spoken and smiled.
"As much as I'd like to be indoors all day I feel like taking a walk." She stated, standing from her seat and going toward the door. "You all keep talking if you wish." She said with a slight tip of her head. He nodded and turned back to the new Link while Zelda left.
Sup I'm a small time skip xD
Zelda was following the first hero through the small woods, nearly tripping over tree roots at times and trying to avoid snapping twigs which was hard seeing as the grass hid a majority of them.
'He has to know I'm following him…I was never good at sneaking around.' Sky Zelda thought, peeking around some trees to see where the first was headed.
He was going to the Golden Temple, where the Golden Goddesses lived; she moved along the trees for a bit before peeking out again.
"Where did-" Zelda whispered confused but never finished the sentence as another voice spoke. "You should take lessons from the second," The first muttered, causing Zelda to jump and turned around. "He could teach you how to sneak better." He finished, looking at her somewhat unamused.
She sighed, placing a hand over her racing heart. "I'll have to do that." She looked him in the eyes finding the same pain still there…and was that confusion? "Does hearing about Demise bother you?" She asked, knowing he hadn't managed to take down the Demon King. Hylia had needed to step in to seal him, though now that she thought about it, had he even hurt Demise?
"In a way…" He looked away from her, he didn't want her to read his eyes; his action caused Zelda to frown.
"What is it?" She questioned, walking closer to him. "You can tell me, I won't go telling anyone." She stated, her hand still over her heart as a sign of concern.
He looked at her, his eyes still holding the pain. "It's not that…I…" He frowned. This seemed to be hard for him to talk about.
"Is it the fact you feel she would be disappointed since you didn't kill Demise?" She pressed, hoping she wasn't crossing a line. "I know she didn't feel that way-!" He rubbed his face muttering something through locked teeth, stopping her speech.
"What...?" She asked, looking at him in confusion.
The first looked at her finally. "I know she wasn't, if anything she was as confused as I was…am." He stated, rubbing his neck instead.
"You aren't making any sense…" Zelda commented, folding her arms a little.
"I…" He looked to the Temple. "I've never told anyone…it'd be easier if you ask one of the Golden Three to see the mirrors near the time of my death. They would show that and more I'm sure…" He still wasn't really telling her anything, if anything he was confusing her even more.
"Valor- Link!" She hissed his nickname, reaching up and held the sides of his head to keep him looking at her. "You can tell me." She said sternly, yet he only gazed at her a moment then gently removed her hands. "I…I had a…ugh, there really isn't even a word for this." He growled out a little, unsure how to word it properly.
"I suppose the best term would be...a relationship with Demsie." He finally stated.
She blinked at him. "...What…?" She asked, blinking again as though she didn't believe it.
His eyes narrowed at her, knowing what she thought. "Not like you're thinking, it was never like that." He said and then as an afterthought, "And never will be." He growled out, obviously upset by what went through her mind.
She thought before a moment as she crossed her arms again, she knew very well how he and Hylia had felt about each other so it was odd for her thoughts to go there. One of her hands went to her chin as she thought of what to say. "You were...friends then?" That seemed just as…impossible.
"I wouldn't call it friendship…just...arrgh!" He shouted in frustration at the end as he rubbed the area between his eyes. "There has never been a word I can think of that works." He mumbled out; Zelda could tell he was truly confused.
"Just…just ask one of the Three to see the mirrors, it will be easier." He rubbed his temples a bit then walked away while Zelda rushed back toward the tavern; her Link might want to know to.
Sup I'm a small time skip xD
"I really hope he doesn't get mad." Someone spoke, the voice of a female. "Hey, we're wondering just as much as you." A male's voice interjected, somewhat curious; several Links and Zeldas had come with Sky Zelda, following her to the temple.
"Is something wrong?" Din asked, appearing before them. "No," The first Zelda said. "I just came to ask about seeing some mirrors, the first Link's and…Demise." Zelda stated, this caused Din's gaze to soften but her gaze also seemed to sadden. "He's finally talking about it then?" She questioned, in which Zelda gave a small nod. "Good. Nayru, Farore come." The other two appeared at her call. "We're showing them what happened between Demise and Link." Din said as she turned toward the other two Goddesses.
"Ah." Was all Nayru said.
"It's about time he talked about it!" Farore hissed, obviously angry. They all lifted two large mirrors, one was black and had a disturbing design while the other was gold with beautiful green markings.
"Now all of you are simply to watch." Nayru started, looking at them all with stern looks. "Do not speak until it's over." She stated with a stern voice, her gaze matched her tone.
The Golden Three knew they all had to be confused as to how Demise and the first Link had…any kind of relationship. They themselves wondered how it happened even though they had watched it occur. Nonetheless, they needed to understand.
Gold, green marked mirror
Link had only been out of prison a few months, but his body had recovered quickly…though he felt Hylia had something to do with that. She hated seeing him hurt or in any way distressed, so she did all she could to help him.
He looked at the blade in his hand; The Master Sword, The Blade of Evil's Bane… it didn't seem like just a sword at times but he always brushed that feeling off. Currently he, and a few other knights, were patrolling the south part of the village. Nothing had come up yet, but it was only midnight; there was still plenty of time for-
A shiver ran through him, the odd feeling of being watched suddenly fell over him, filling him with dread. Link turned lifting the blade a bit, the other knights did too. Link scanned the darkness; he didn't see or hear anything but that feeling wasn't leaving...if anything, it was getting stronger.
"Something is out there…" The knight to his left said softly, so it wasn't just him then. "The next shift is almost due… should we-" The knight was interrupted as Link grabbed a nearby lantern, lighting it. "I'll go." Link said, holding it up in front of him.
"But-" The knight was ready to protest, yet Link wouldn't hear of it. "I'll go," He interrupted him again, his voice firm. "I've faced most of the evils already. You two send the night shift then go home and rest." He seemed to order, looking at them with a stern gaze. The two wanted to argue but Link had a point. "Alright but be careful, Her Grace will have our heads if something happens to you." The left knight stated, pointing to his head with a smirk.
"I'll be sure to come back then." He said through a laugh, then they went their separate ways. The two knights went to their homes, which likely had lanterns on in windows to guide them home to their families. Link went alone to the darkness, to find the source of the feeling of dread.
Sup I'm a small time skip xD
Link hated the dark; the prison was dark, all he had known for so long was darkness. He didn't like being out at night but he had to be out here right now, for everyone's sake! The lantern was nice to have, it gave light. He was glad Hylia had given him the idea to hook it to his belt, as it made fighting easier. Of course he had extra candles and matches, he wasn't a fool-
"Coming on your own?" A male's voice spoke to him in the darkness.
Link didn't jump but he was sure his heart stopped for a minute. He couldn't tell where the voice came from so he pressed his back against a large tree and looked around. He really wished the light went further!
"I won't show myself just yet...hero." The voice chuckled.
'Oh Din...' He thought in dread, realizing what the feeling was now. It was the Demon King Demise. Blast! He should have at least gotten Lady Hylia to come with him! He kept his expression controlled and hoped his eyes gave nothing away. He would not give the enemy the satisfaction of seeing him afraid.
"Not shaking… haven't dropped the sword… impressive for a human." Demise was very surprised the man wasn't afraid, in fact he was glaring around at the darkness. He had simply sent his voice out, he wanted the hero alone.
"Show yourself!" Link demanded with a growl, his voice steady.
The voice chuckled, amused by his courage. "I see no reason to, I'm still preparing…as is Hylia. Not that anything she does will stop me."
Link frowned. "A bit cocky are you? Cockiness ends many." Link snipped, still glaring at the darkness around him.
"...I am no human-" Link cut him off before he could say more. "It doesn't just apply to humans; animals do it too." He said before realizing how that sounded. 'I...shouldn't have said that.' He thought feeling a chill go down his spine.
"I was thinking of sparing you but maybe I won't after all." Demise growled, his voice seemed deeper as his anger rose.
Link rose a brow, looking around with confusion. "Why not just kill me right here, right now then?" He questioned, sweeping his gaze through, trying to spot anything out of ordinary.
"I'm letting you have a fighting chance, I'm not without mercy." Demise seemed to see him as a lesser being rather than that of an equal. Wasn't a surprise honestly, he was a Demon King and Link a measly mortal man.
Link said nothing, then simply turned and started his way back to the village. Demise wasn't going to attack just yet as such he saw no reason to chat with the demon.
"Just where do you think you are going?" Demise questioned with a growl.
"Home," Link began with a shrug, his tone uncaring. "After all you aren't going to do anything yet." He stated, rolling his eyes.
"You-" Demise's voice was murderous, close...almost as if-
"Link?" Hylia called from the darkness...the feeling went away. "Link where are you?" She asked again, her tone concerned.
"I'm here, follow my voice." Link said, raising his voice so she could better locate him. He heard her footsteps before he saw her.
"What are you doing out here?" She asked as she got closer to him, his lantern illuminated her.
"I had a bad feeling…didn't find anything. I was on my way back." He assured her; Hylia smiled happily, relieved that he was willing to be alone in the dark if it meant keeping everyone safe.
"Well," She waved her hand over the lantern making the light brighter. "Let us go back, I cooked some lamb for you." She said, making her way closer to him, causing Link to smile at her. "Thank you." They made their way back. He may not have a family at home waiting for him but so long as he had her it wasn't so bad.
Black mirror
"Ghirahim." The familiar voice of Demise growled, the dark black and red, dimly lite room showed little of what was around. A flash of diamonds and the demon was before him kneeling down.
"Master." The demon said, keeping his head bowed, his silver hair falling before his face. His skin was pale...a sickly pale color as though he was diseased; wearing a white outfit that a diamond design to it as when he entered the area. His black eyes, in which one was covered by his hair as he lifted his face, had purple markings underneath, as if it were makeup. His red cape, which was designed with diamonds on the inside, covered his back completely in his kneeled position; the chains on it reflected the red of the room as if it were lava.
"Hylia's Chosen Hero, I want you to watch him. Not attack or kill mind you, just...watch." The voice of Demise ordered of the demon, whom nodded.
"Yes master." Then he was gone again.
Demise may have said he'd give the man a fighting chance but that didn't mean he wouldn't cheat a little. Ghirahim would watch him train, then report to him how the hero fought. Yes…it was a great idea.
Though…it still irked him that the man hadn't been scared, he'd have to fix that. He'd have Ghirahim discover what the hero feared to use it against him. He loved watching humans fall apart in fear. Until then he had a massive army to prepare.
Gold, green marked mirror
Link shoved the demon back who was simply grinning at him; this demon had been harassing him for a week so far! Why it didn't try to kill him, he didn't know but it seemed to be digging at him in a way, throwing creepy monsters at him. He really didn't get it to tell the truth.
The demon jumped back spinning his sword, when he swung it undead keese came at Link, who moved out of their way then sliced through them. The demon sighed dramatically before vanishing. Link growled and leaned against a tree. This was getting very old! He had no idea what the blasted demon wanted! Link sighed and started his way to the lake, he'd been headed there when the demon had decided to attack him.
Sup I'm a big time skip xD
Link blinked awake, bolting upright a moment later when he couldn't see. He had fallen asleep near the lake…it was dark out. His breathing picked up while he struggled to get a match; after two minutes of blackness a match lit giving a small amount of relief.
"You fear darkness?" The dark voice asked sounding ecstatic.
Link jumped dropping the match, it went out before it hit the grass. He cursed and tried to get another one; he wasn't able as something was holding his hands down. Link cursed again and struggled to get free.
"Now, now I'm enjoying your fear, I didn't get to see it last time." A cruel laugh surrounded him, echoing in his ears.
Link felt foolish for this but he tried it anyway. He threw his head back hard and was very surprised to have hit something. The hold loosened, he stood and lit another match breathing hard. "I won't lie…that surprised me." Link hadn't expected to hurt Demise but damn it that would have been nice!
"Last time you were just a voice, now you're solid?" Link questioned, looking around, trying to see through the darkness.
"Not really, it's a bit too complicated for a human mind to grasp." Link decided it was safer to bite his tongue than say anything to that.
'Please Hylia…come find me again...' He silently prayed...and that prayer was answered.
"Link! Link! Where are you?" Her lovely voice called.
He tried to answer back found he was unable…was Demise covering his mouth? Link tried to move his head back but couldn't- just how close did that mean the demon was? He cut off that thought and jerked to the side calling out, "I'm over here! I only have matches!" He quickly shouted.
"Oh dear…keep talking, I'll find you!" She called back, her voice full of concern. Link had to struggle with Demise while he called to Hylia but finally the demon went away when she got close. Link saw the lantern light and moved toward it.
"Ah there you-!" She didn't finish as she noticed he seemed worn out. "Oh goodness are you okay Link?" Hylia asked, rushing toward him with the lantern. His breathing was still hard and his eyes were wide.
"I'll be alright…" He began as he tried to regaining his breathing, kneeling beside her. "Just from now on, I'm not going out at night without you." Hylia could make little balls of light if needed.
Hylia nodded, agreeing with his idea. "Good idea…why are you here anyway?" She asked, looking at the lake.
"I wanted to see the lake…I must have fallen asleep." Link explained as he finally regained his breath and stood beside her, taking the lantern from her.
"I see." Hylia said with a small smile, clasping her hands over her heart. "Well let's get you home." She said as her smile brightened and Link nodded, following her. Link wasn't sure why he didn't tell her Demise was…stalking him, he…just didn't tell her.
Three days later
Link was sure Demise was annoyed. He didn't go out at night without Hylia, and the demon didn't seem to bother him during the day so he thought he was free of it...he was sadly wrong. Link was very sure he'd just sat back to take a nap in his house, but now he found himself near the lake. What on earth was...?
"Clever to always bring Hylia with you." The familiar voice of Demise growled out, his voice suddenly very close.
Link whirled around and froze. Demise wasn't hiding now; he looked to be covered in some kind of black and red scales, hair of fire, crimson eyes, a sort of half tunic around his waist just covering what needed to be concealed…and blast it all he was huge!
"But I am able to get you alone in other ways." Demise growled out with a smirk, noticing that Link seemed highly surprised.
Link took several steps back only for Demise to come forward. Well that wasn't going to work was it? Could he- Link dodged a grab, the last thing he wanted was for Demise to grab him.
"Come now, this is only a dream. The worst I can do will only give a headache later." Demise said with a smirk, his crimson eyes menacing.
"Headaches are distracting, I need to focus in battle." Link said, ready to move if need be.
Demise of course hadn't lied; if he hurt the puny human all he'd have later is a headache. He made another grab and missed.
Demise was very pleased to finally see the man fear him, but he wasn't letting fear control him. He was glaring and still ready to fight. Demise was intrigued by that and very slightly respected him for it…not much though, this was irritating! He made a another grab only to miss once again…Link was dangerously close to the water's edge, something Demise took note of.
He went to grab Link once more but made contact with a shield. "What?!" He growled, then moved back when the Master Sword was slashed at him.
"You doubt my intelligence, but I am not so much a fool to not realize this is MY MIND. I control what happens here, not you!" Link growled out as he glared murderously at the demon before him.
Demise couldn't move as the sword came at him the human was forcing him to be still, so he pushed a shock wave of dark energy at the the hero who fell back into the water. Demise was free from the hold the hero had placed on him and held him under the water.
"Perhaps you aren't as foolish as I thought, but," Link struggled to get free unable to breath, he kept glaring refusing to give up. "I will always be a step ahead of you." Demise said with a cruel grin...before everything went black.
Sup leaving dream xD
Link gasped sitting up trying to get air again. He groaned and held his head, there was the headache Demise spoke of.
"Bad dream?" Hylia asked, sitting beside him on the bed.
He looked down at her; she slept with him at his house to avoid being an idol and being crowded. She was here on a mission, and had no time for anything else. "Yeah…you could say that." Link honestly was confused. He didn't understand why Demise wasn't just killing him.
Was he being played with? Tested for something? Link didn't know.
Link did know that he couldn't avoid sleeping though…he'd collapse at some point. He wasn't going to have good dreams for a while was he? He knew something was going to happen sooner or later.
