Chapter 5

Sev tightened his grip on his horse's reins as his patrol neared the Castletown gate. The dark hero's breath had sped up considerably at the memory of his first encounter with Link. His blond locks as bright as the sun...those shining sapphire gems for eyes. Every part of him sent Sev over an edge he had never thought he would fall over. And his voice...so strong and confident.

Sev brought his horse to a halt before he even realized it, his soldiers skidding to a stop as well. "Sir?" one of them asked, his horse fidgeting uneasily at the sound of the gray muddy water rushing under the drawbridge.

"Go on without me. Tell her majesty I went to go see an old friend," Sev said his voice distant. Before he could get an answer the dark-headed man clicked his heels against black fur and galloped off into the depths of Hyrule field.

Slowing down, Sev looked up at the gate of light brown, dead trees. Natural dark magic emanated from the forest entrance. It reminded Sev of his childhood years. Lowering his head to avoid a low branch, he narrowed his crimson colored eyes. Years wasted as a weak child. Crying from cuts and bruises dealt by his so-called "friends." He did not own a fairy servant at the time so the Kokiri children beat his as punishment. No hand hurt as much as Midoka's, the self-proclaimed leader of the Kokiri. Since Sev started learning the ways of the sword he swore Midoka would pay for what he had done.

This was only the second time Sev had been to Kokiri forest since he left after the Great Deku Tree's murder. He had come to collect the forest sage for his princess, but besides that he had not returned. Midoka had a purpose last time Sev had come. This time he did not, and Sev couldn't wait to hear his screams of agony echo off the trees of Kokiri forest.

"Oh Sevy! You're back!" Sev smiled his natural sly grin as he saw his dark princess, but it quickly faded as he saw the lap she was resting on. Her perfect, sexy body was sprawled over the horrid green-skinned body of the king of this world, Ganondorf. Even though this Ganondorf told Princess Zeena he was on her side, Sev didn't trust a word that came out of his smirking mouth. In the Hyrule that Princess Zeena and Sev ruled, Ganon was out to turn everything into sunshine and rainbows. The exact thing that this light world was coming out of. Zeena had explained it to Sev after she had found the portal to this world underneath the Temple of Time. There were two worlds. One the opposite of the other. Each world had a twin in the other. One was ruled by Light, Darkness trying to take over. In the other, Darkness reigned as Light struggled to survive. "Two sides of the same coin," Zeena had spoken.

Sev's crimson eyes flashed as Ganondorf's meaty hands grasped Princess Zeena in the places that weren't so private for the princess. Before Sev could say a word, Ganondorf stood from his throne and pushed the Princess to the side. As she fell against the throne arm she sent a hard glare at the unsuspecting "king", her own crimson eyes flashing in anger. To Sev's disappointment his princess did not attack the Garudo.

As Sev watched Zeena he did not notice Ganondorf steadily grow closer, but was quick enough to grab the man's wrist as he closed a hand around the hero.

"How dare you let him go, you other-worldly trash!" the green-skinned man boomed, tightening his grip on Sev's neck and lifting his to eye-level, "You are just as weak as he is! I should have you killed for treason!"

Sev smirked as he glared into the demon's vomit colored eyes, digging his nails into the man's skin on his hand, and hissed, "I am not loyal to you. Only my princess." Ganondorf's face ignited with fury and he threw Sev across the castle throne-room. As his body hit the marble floor, air rushed from Sev's chest out his mouth. Quicker than any normal man, Sev hopped to his feet and unsheathed his midnight black sword.

"Sev I order you to put that away." The voice of his Princess made Sev freeze.

His glaze didn't leave Ganondorf as he snapped back; "He insulted you by insulting me, Princess!"

"Severe!" Zeena snapped, her voice deadly as she used Sev's full name. With a reluctant sigh, Sev sheathed his sword.

"Only for you, Princess Zeena," He murmured, still fuming. Zeena's cold expression did not change as she gave Sev a nod to leave. With another sigh Sev did as he was told, but did not leave in time to miss Zeena glide over to Ganondorf. Her seductive whispers could not be heard but Sev knew them all too well. And the way she pressed her body against the Garudo's. The trails of her gloved hand traveled...

The hero hurried his steps to leave. Seeing his princess do such things to a man not even of her world made him sick. She was to do that to him, not a vomit-skinned fake tyrant!

Screw this world of light!

"My Lord Sev!" A tiny voice squeaked as Sev entered Kokiri Village, "So nice for you to visit!" Sev looked to see a Kokiri boy, his amber eyes shining under the shadow of his dark silver hair. Sev remembered this boy. He went by the name of Penet. On Sev's last visit he followed him around like he was some god. The dark hero contemplated on kicking the boy like he had last time, but decided against it.

"Where's Midoka?" Sev asked Penet, showing no interest in the boy's comment. The Kokiri's face fell for a moment before it brightened up again.

"I think he just went into the shop, sir," he answered. Without another word, Sev left the Kokiri to himself at the entryway to the village. Kokiri village hadn't changed since Sev was a child, even through Ganon's "healing process." The trees were still lifeless and the sky still a golden gray. The Kokiri still bullied the odd children of the group and Midoka still strut around as if he was a king.

As Sev headed for bridge of the creek, Midoka led a group of children out of the goods shop, laughing at some other child who had ran out ahead of them. Memories flooded back to Sev of the brutal hits he had endured. Clenching his jaw, images of hurt turned into pure rage. Sev placed a hand on the hilt of his sword, the coldness of the blade feeling wonderful on his fingertips. Midoka noticed him as he came to the bridge as well.

"Sev? What are you doing here?" Midoka said, trying to make it a joke but the fear was obvious in his voice. Without an answer, Sev unsheathed his sword, the ring making Midoka's eyes widen. The group of Kokiri children gasped and they quickly backed away, running from their leader. Midoka on the other hand was frozen to the spot. Sev cleared the few feet between them with ease.

"Sev...I didn't...didn't know you were coming back or I would have-"

"Would have what?" Sev growled, lifting the edge of his sword up to Midoka's neck, "Sharpened stones to throw at me like when I was a child? Or maybe ambushed me with speared Deku Sticks?" Midoka swallowed, his amber eyes wide as Deku nuts and his body tight in fear. Sev smirked; pushing the tip of his Dark Master Sword into the Kokiri's neck just enough to make a trickle of blood stain his neck. Midoka then suddenly burst into tears.

"I'm so sorry, My Lord!" he sobbed, using Sev's formal name for the first time in his life. The dark hero let out a laugh.

"How dare you lie to me?" Sev howled, his rage finally turning loud, "Filthy rats like you only care for their own lives! You deserve a slow death, you trash!" As Sev finished he kicked Midoka square in the face, relishing in the sound of a shattered nose. The boy grabbed his face as he landed in the small stream. By this time the whole village was watching, none dared stand up for Midoka, knowing their fate would match that of the Kokiri leader's. Sev stepped off the bridge into the gray waters of the stream, which was now running crimson red. Midoka let out a scream as Sev kicked him again, this time to turn him over. Over and over Sev kicked, harder and harder. The boy screamed sobs and pleas for mercy. Sev gave mercy to no one.

...Except Link.

Well my deepest apologies for not posting on this story. Once I finally had the second chapter written I lost it on my computer. It got deleted. So I was really depressed for a while so I stopped writing. But I decided to finally write it again.

Also...should I make Sev's skin tan instead of pastey white? Not sure if I should change it or not. I know there is a lot of versions of Dark Link. I like the look of pale white skin with black hair...but is it really "opposite" of Link? I just need help lol.

Thanks for reading and be sure to leave my a review! I'd love to hear any comments you have on the story so far! :D
