Chapter 1: Heal My Hidden Wounds
Ummm, hi, it's me, the Zelda freak, I decided to add another Zelda fic since I'm totally lost with the previous one and this idea won't leave me alone. And with that, I kept thinking how lonely Dark must be, how bored, and hoplessly lost he is after Ganondorf's death (Yes, technicaly he did die because (SPOILERS FOR TWILIGHT PRINCESSSSS!) Ganondorf lost his triforce and then dies, therefore he became mortal and mortals die. So, yeah, he's not coming back in this fic, suck it up and deal with it 
__________________________________________________
Dark Link, now free from the evil wizard Ganondorf, was so incredibly content, however, a little bored as he strolled through the dark forests of Faron with a chewed up red apple in his spidery hands. He had to admit, through his boredom, this forest was quite quiet and strangely loud at the same time. He noticed that the birds who dove after the worms deep inside the game were chirping rather deafeningly, although, the worms that were sacrificed for the greater being's life were silent in their death. Another example he saw was of the spirit spring; The waters were noisily being lapped up by a stray horse and an accompanying foal, while the spirit who slept there was peacefully quiet. The forest, he concluded, was a very confusingly diverse structure, but to him it was more beautiful then anything he had ever seen.
Or at least that is what he thought back then, he had no idea his life was about to turn upside-down.
Dark stopped walking and turned around as a shrill, terrified scream reached his long pointy ears. He dashed off to the direction it was coming from, climbing up the trees and jumping from branch to branch like he remembered he had done in that war. When he finally reached a clearing, Dark jumped off the last branch and landed on his hands and knees. He stood up straight and hid behind a large bridge, watching as a purple, extremely ugly (So ugly that Dark was glad Ganon made him to look like a human) moblin attacked a young girl with neck-length brunet hair and long Hylain ears. Even from the distance he was standing at, he could feel the energy of her fear and distraught. Her petriphied, tearful face was so pathetic, in his opinion, but something about it made him feel sorry for her. How could he not be her knight in shining armor.
Dark stepped out of his hiding/examining place and stood behind the beast. He tapped on his shoulder and watched as he turned around with a grumpy face.
"WHAT?.........Ah! Master Dark Link... I.... I... Didn't mean to yell, I thought yous were someone else, please spare me!" The infuriating goblin pleaded, bowing down before his master. Dark kept his plain expression until a thought came into his head. This thought made him see how he had grown accustomed to Ganondorf cruelty.
Dark Link grinned and put his dark finger under his chin and lifted his head up to face him, his eyes full of pure amusement at the imperious creature's pitiful face.
"Awww, why the long face? I wasn't planning to hurt you at all," He cooed the monster.
"Really?" The Moblin's face lit up happily. Dark shook his head and grabbed both of the beast's cheeks, squeezing them together to make them fish-like.
"No, I was planning to kill you," He grinned wider, showing his bloody, razor sharp teeth. The goblin didn't even get the chance to gulp or scream before he became nothing but ash. And that's why I am and always will be the commander of the monster army, Dark thought as he clapped his hands together to get the dark black remnants off of him. He turned back to see the girl passed out, lying on the ground with her bangs covering her eyes. Dark started to walk away when he bumped into some people he recognized from the Ordan village.
"Did you... Just save that girl?" The fat man asked, his eyes looking tiny as if he were squinting. Dark snorted at the sound of it, and then thought about it. Dark the Great Commander of Ganondorf Ever-lasting Army saving someone? But as he thought about it, he had saved that innocent girl, without even meaning to. Even though he didn't mean to, it didn't change the fact that he had. It was strange to him why he had, but...
"Your point is...?" Dark huffed as he pushed passed the mayor, bumping his shoulder roughly. Mayor Bo turned around to him and crossed his arms toughly.
"My point is that everyone in Hyrule and alike has made you out to be some evil monster... But here I catch you rescuing a dandle in distress," He explained. Dark shook his head and turned back around.
"Look, the only reason I saved her was because that idiotic monkey of a monster didn't ask if he could attack her. So, he was being insubordinate. Any questions?" He growled. Suddenly, the turned around to face the attacked girl as she groaned tiredly, holding her head as she sat up. Dark stared at her as if he was in a trance. He just couldn't help but stare, she was so... Pure. It was very rare, in fact it never happened, for Dark to lay eyes on someone who had done absolutely nothing wrong in her entire life. He'd usual just look at someone and could tell if they were a murderer, a thief, or even something as simple as a liar. However, as he glared at her with his bloody red eyes, he didn't see a single strand of darkness in her heart; She was just plain pure.
When her light blue eyes opened gently, squinting due to the bright sun rays that seemed to always strain itself on this particular place, she found Dark. Dark rolled his eyes, expecting her to scream like everyone else... But she didn't. Actually, she wasn't afraid of him at all, which made his brain a confused wonderland.
"Um... Excuse me but... Are you the one who saved me?" She asked in a soft, innocent voice, puny in comparison to Ganondorf's, and himelf's, own voice. For a brief moment, he pondered why she did not have a loud voice, for, he had grown accustomed to the sounds of screaming and his previous "master's" growling, booming voice.
"Yeah, but... Uh... Whatever," He stammered, snapping his fingers and teleporting away from her, leaving her with Mayor Bo.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dark stood at the cliff of Zora's Domain where the thick-flowing, fast-paced clear waters surrounded his feet and fell to the lake below. He stared down the high waterfall, smirking at how high he was. Ganondorf never allowed him to swim, or even stand at the top of a waterfall. Now, he could do whatever he wanted, and that's exactly what he intended on doing.
With a deep breath and a large grin, he dove off, slamming into the water. It was so cool, chilling down the exhaustion, cuts, and bruises that took its tole on him after fourteen years. It felt like everything but grief, dark thoughts, and blood in his soul away from him. This clear water was like a vague amount holy water, although evidence of his tormenting past still remained.
After being under the water, hidden in the Zoras' shadows, Dark swam lazily up to the surface, taking in a deep breath of more fresh air. After wiping them off with his wet hand, he opened his bloody red eyes and stared at a strange spirit Zora standing at the top of the waterfall he had just been standing on. She was glaring down at him, no expressions on her face. He blinked a few times before shaking his head and taking another dive into the water, swimming off towards a large house like thing he knew to be the home of a very chubby person that wore tight clohs and make up. He put each hand on the platform holding the house and pulled himself on it, falling back down into the water. Dark looked at his sleeves and saw visible black blood showing. He cringed and tried once more to climb back on the wooden surface, lying on his belly when he succeded. He finally stood up, strolling down the bridge that connected the house to the puny island.
"Geez, Ganondorf, why'd you have to take your anger out on me?" He grumbled.
"Hey, wanna play a game?" A small bird asked suddenly.
"No, get the hell away from me," He spat, slapping the bird away from him. "Gods, I hate these stupid creatures... I hope they go extinct..."
Dark continued walking, stopping when he reached the spirit's spring. He stepped inside the place Ganondorf had always threatened to throw him in. Inside was dark, and it relaxed his eyes. He stepped down the steps and ceased his walking at the edge of the cliff. Without a warning, besides the pressure he could feel from its great light, the spirit Lanayru erupted from the spring to face him.
"H-Hello, Lady Lanayru," He studdered, his arm covering his eyes.
"Dark, I've been watching you, as you know, and I saw that you simply let go of the person I told you would take away your grief, dark thoughts, and the blood deep in your soul. Why?" She asked. Dark stared at her with a confused face.
"What do you mean? I didn't meet anyo-......"
"Exactly, you did meet, and saved, someone today, remember. Dark, I told you before, you can't ignore that human heart you have, you saw that glow in her, didn't you?" She smiled.
"No, all I saw was she was innocent, much the opposite of myself, your point?" He asked grumpily, crossing his arms and letting his bangs cover his eyes.
"Dark… I can't help you if you continue to be so stubborn. Believe me, I really do want to help you, with all my heart, but it's up to you to let my words register in your soul."
"Well, that's ganna be hard, I don't have a soul," He narrowed his eyes. Lanayru nipped at his foot with a soft growl and quickly jumped back into her spring to resume her watch over her land.
"Dark, don't talk to me until you've given the girl a chance."
"But… What do you want me to do? What do you mean by "give her a chance."? Are we supposed to be "Buddy-buddy" or…. Lanyru!" He stammered. Finally, realizing it was useless, he sat down on the ground and let his legs dangle over the edge. This, he knew, was going to be the last day his life would ever be the same again; Whether it was for better or for worse, in sickness or in.... Ah, great, now he had marrige on his head. Stupid Lanyru, putting such triffling, idiotic thoughts in his head. If he knew he wouldn't die from touching something so light, he'd rip her neck off and feed it to his massive monster army... But such was not the case. 'Besides', He thought, 'My army isn't even that big anymore, thanks to that dumb hero... But still, I do owe him one for releaasing me from Ganon's reign.'
Dark sighed off his agitation and stroled up the walk area that led to a higher ground, laying down on the cool wet grass and closing his eyes to sleep, hoping he wouldn't recieve a nightmare from Ganon today. Afterall, that phyco could still control his dreams from the endless void of death he rested in.
