The Demon Lord's Inner Battle

Chapter 9

Once I enter the surface I head straight to the Faron Woods.

Well alright but how do I find him... he has his house around here somewhere or something? I can't imagine him living just in the pure nature although the thought of it is pretty funny.

I walk through the woods aimlessly until I reach the waterfall. From up there I should be able of seeing a lot more.

I look for a way up and and after a litte climb I reached the top. Scouting the area for a house or anything of the sort, I only now notice... I didn't saw any monster since I arrived here... are the gone?

Is he even still here? He must be... the goddess said I'd find him here...

I take a deep breath before shouting his name loudly.

"Ghirahim!"

I wait a few seconds before dropping my shoulders and laughing at myself. What was I thinking? That he will just appear as soon as I call out to him? Ridicioulus.

Even though knowing, it won't work, I am still feeling a stinging pain in my chest. Did I wanted it to work...?

I just stared upsent minded into the forest as I feel someone's eyes on me and spin around exitingly. It worked!

Ghirahim stands infront of me, smirking.

"You called, sky child?"

I open my mouth but close it again. Hell don't fuck it up. It's about Fi, nothing else, Link!

"Take your damn curse from me."

He acts innocent.

"Whatever are you talking about, sky child?"

I draw my sword, holding it towards him.

"You know exacly what I mean! I can't sense Fi anymore, what did you do!?"

He lifts his arms in defeat.

"Calm down. I just wanted to see you again alone. She's such a bother."

"Wh...what..."

I lower my sword at his words. He wanted to be alone with me...?

Ghirahim approaches me, startling me and I take a steps back to keep the distance between us.

"Sky child. Don't move any further."

Like I would listen to him! Who knows what his sadistic mind is planning this time again! I would be stupid to listen to him!

Suddenly I don't feel ground beneath me anymore and fall all the way down the waterfall. How stupid... I was so focused on him that I forgot where I was...

Why did I climb on top of a waterfall anyway when I can't swim?! I'm such an idiot!

"Link!"

I hear Ghirahim calling out my name as I fall. There is no way I would survive this. Even if I wouldn't die from the impact on the water, I would just drown... I'm sorry Zelda... I'm sorry Crimson...

I close my eyes, while I fall into the water with a loud splash and sink to the ground. Suddenly I'm being pulled up and am scooped in someone's arms. I open my eyes slowly and Ghirahim's with water dripping face is infront of me, breathless.

"You are such a handful, sky child. Don't scare me like this. Don't you learn how to swim up in the clouds?"

He saved me... My heart beats loudly, making me afraid he would hear it as he stares into my eyes.

He carries me out of the water and snaps his fingers. Suddenly my wet clothes are replaced with his red cape, making him be only in his super tight almost non existing I don't even know what that is. Tighs?? I avert my eyes from him, blushing as he chuckles.
