Legend of the Clashing Sisters: The Hyrule Chronicles

At that time, Ganondorf and Malbella returned to their Forbidding Fortress. Within one of these dismal chambers, my sister was back side down, laying in midair as Ganondorf observed her condition. Ganondorf: "Malbella, what has happened? How was your sister able to receive the upper hand against you?" Malbella: "It was Love." Ganondorf: "What is this? What do you mean?" Malbella: "My sister has attained Love for those interloping non-eternals. It seems as though I have underestimated them. They are worth more than I perceive them to be...more trouble that is."

Within a short notice, Dark energy surrounded her very being, saturating her more and more as her rage increased. Malbella: "Love, it is truly irritable. The meager compassion for others, how sickening, and to acknowledge that Light wielders receive their strength from said compassion? The vexation is unbearable beyond belief!"

From her immense rage, she unleashed a shockwave of Darkness that shot out through the walls of the fortress save for any damages done to them. She was no longer lying down. She returned to her normal position. Malbella: "If dear Glenny is to receive her strength from Love, than I shall receive mine from Hatred. Yes...such a negative notion should be most fitting. Alas, my own Hatred be not enough to provide me with the much needed strength. I must have more." Ganondorf: "If that much is true, then I shall provide you with the power you crave from my Hatred, as well. Allow me to bestow to you all that you need, my dear." Malbella: "Your bountifulness is most appreciated, Ganny, however, is still not be enough for my gratification. I must receive multiple other sources to attain the much needed strength. Hmm...this sparks my curiosity of something. Tell me, Ganny, what of the denizens? What be their consideration towards strange outsiders such as myself and my sister?"

Ganondorf brought forth yet another sinister sneer. He seemed most pleased by my sister's horrid inquiry. Ganondorf: "I'm so glad you asked me that, my dear. You will be delighted to know that some of the civilians of Hyrule are distrustful and suspicious of any and all foreigners. They are especially cold and leery towards the immigrants that moved into the land several years ago. They have even lost much faith in their princess for allowing these immigrants to live within the kingdom." Malbella: "Yes...yes...this is indeed most favorable. I can utilize this to my advantage. To exploit this would provide me with the much needed strength to ensure my vengeance on Glenny for overpowering me. Mayhap it be most amusing that the people are to be distrustful towards her, as well as those loathsome, interloping recipients. Oh, the power I will receive would be immeasurable and to relish in their misery be a most pleasurable treat. Yes, indeed the power be the least of my delight." Ganondorf: "Yes, you truly are brilliant, my dear." Malbella: "(cackle) Were their any doubts, Ganny?"

Later on that day, the soldiers were assembled in the courtyard once more. Link, Zelda and Impa along with myself stood before them. Zelda: "Alright, everyone, listen up. We have a tough battle ahead of us and we need to be at our best. Ganondorf and Malbella will try any means to get what they want and it's our obligation to ensure that will never happen. They are persistent, relentless and will show no mercy towards anyone." Myself: "Should we allow them to that which they desire most, it will spell disaster for all of us. I intend to prevent such misfortune from ever occurring for my fallen people, something to which my wise masters need me to do. However, as of now, I shall do this for my friends. We anticipate that you shall do the same." Zelda: "Link and Glentina have faced off against our enemies so they have a sense of understanding towards these tenacious fiends and what they are capable of." Link: "Ganondorf is truly more powerful than even I would have estimated. So far I have yet to defeat him and it seems to me as though I'm nowhere near doing so, but I can handle him. Glentina, on the other hand, has spent an immeasurable amount of time battling against her sister, Malbella. She seemed to have the upper hand against her this time, but there's no doubt that Malbella will turn that around for her own benefit. In spite of all of this, we don't believe that you should worry about that. Leave Ganondorf and Malbella to me and Glentina. Nothing should be more important to you than the good people of this land." Zelda: "Absolutely. Protecting the people should be your only priority. We know that those fiends will go after them and we need to be ready for anything." Link: "Of course. Since Ganondorf has the power of one of the Goddesses at his command, there's no telling what he could possibly do. We can only fear the worst." Impa: "All of you have done a fantastic job, so far, but the worst is still yet to come. Link, Zelda, and Glentina will do everything they can to combat this threat. We expect the same from all of you. We're counting on you. Let's fight the good fight, for Hyrule!"

All of the soldiers shouted with high spirits. They were truly motivated. Their praises were inspiring towards us as well. Within much time, the soldiers trained harder than they did before. Much like earlier, Link, Zelda and I overlooked all of it. Impa took command of the training session. It did not take long for the townsfolk to take notice of this. As the soldiers were arriving out of the castle and back into the town. They seemed more focused and diligent then before. The people were most perplexed by this curious change.

Much time afterwards, the messenger from an earlier incident prior to my appearance arrived before us. Messenger: "Faire princess of Hyrule. The people of the Castle Town are growing concerned over this unusual change in the soldiers. They seemed...more determined and more serious than before. This is all because of Ganondorf and that black-haired witch I have informed you about, isn't it?" Zelda: "Unfortunately...that is correct. We came face-to-face with both of them. We need to make sure that the soldiers will be ready in case they attempt to harm the people." Messenger: "Hold on for a second. You actually met the horrible witch? Then that must mean you have found out who she is." Zelda: "We found out a lot more than that. Before we tell you what we know, let me introduce you to someone. This is our new friend. This is Glentina."

It did not take long for the messenger to take notice of me. Messenger: "Oh, hello. I...did not notice you over there." Myself: "My thanks for informing Link and Zelda of what occurred the night before. I did not know much of the incident, but I did witness the aftermath." Messenger: "What significance does she hold for this occurrence?" Zelda: "That black-haired witch is named Malbella, she is Glentina's sister." Messenger: "WHAT!?! This...this can't be!!!" Zelda: "We're going to need to gather the townspeople for an important announcement. There is much we have to inform them."
