Bounded by the Angel of Light and the Angel of Darkness

Chapter 7

As the Hero of Hyrule ventured through the western wing, a map as his guide, Link glanced outside, finding a garden, full of mysteries hidden in the fog. Link looked around for the raven, seeing if it was close by, then went inside the garden, full of nightly mist. "Zelda! Milady Zelda! Where are you?," Link strolled through the mist, then tripped on something. He looked behind, seeing a tombstone, covered in brambles. "A tombstone? Then this place is a graveyard.," Link grabbed his lantern, but still used the full moon as his guide, lowering the level of the flame to where he can see the map. He looked, then for a moment, his pointed ear twitched after hearing the dead leaves crunch. Link immediately placed his lantern at his side, grabbing the Master Sword and Hylian Shield, prepared to fight. A floating light whizzed by his back, making Link feel insecure for a split second. "A light?," he scanned the light, heading towards an old mausoleum, the door covered by webs. Link began to follow it, not knowing what was ahead. Link opened the door, finding a hallway shrouded in mystery and darkness's soul, making him gulp. As the Hero of Hyrule strolled through the darkness, to his surprise, found the small ligh that guided him, but in the hue of green, not white as moonbeams. Link started heading for it, then tripped while going down a stair, but was caught in a young lady's arms. "Zelda?! You're alright?," Link's heart lighted with hope to see the one he desired since he was young. He looked up to find the hues of green instead of the white skirt, becoming surprised, "Mother? Goddess Farore?" Farore smiled to the sight of her child and bearer of courage. Link squeezed while letting his tears of grief and joy,"Goddess Farore! Please listen to me! I beg for assistance! What've I done? For a moment while waiting for my heart, I sensed danger close by! I need help!" Farore stroked Link's head, calming his tears to a silence,"I, myself, sensed danger, my son. The monster of this castle exists, and he's your shadow from the past." Link jolted in shock,"My shadow?! But how?!" Farore looked down at her son, her eyes meeting Link's blue eyes,"Remember when you conquered Ganondorf, the leader of the Gerudo? I believe after you won, he had one piece of his soul left, heading for your silhouette, giving birth to your mirrored self. Dark Link was reborn, but stronger than he was originally was, he was bloodthirsty, hungry for mortals. He admired a piece of old ruins, mirroring Hyrule Castle, and made it his domain. One after the next, he lured women, giving then a black rose, his way of marking them. But, the black rose possessed a spell. 'Those who wear the cursed rose, she becomes his next meal.' Dark Link desired blood of the women he placed under his spell, but dawn was his weakness. Each woman's true heart came, placing light in his eyes, weakening him, but made his desire stronger. Once Dark Link truely places his victim under his spell before dawn, he'll have his meal, devouring every last drop of blood his mouth can take, making the victim his loved one forever." Link's eyes widen and his body became chilled in fright and shock, "How can I stop him? The Master Sword can take down any monster!" Farore shook her head slowly, then shedded a small tear,"Even if you attempted to murder him, he asorbs the ability to kill. He can't feel the blade, and became immortal, which means he cannot be wounded. His Master Sword became lost deep in the shadows. He allows no sight of the Goddesses of Hyrule's sacred sword. His weaknesses are sunlight a silver dagger! That's the only way to truly conquer him. You understand, my son. I attempt using the "Blade of Evil's Bane" as a way to weaken him, but don't use it to kill him." Link nodded in understand, Farore smiling at her son. "Where can I find a silver dagger?," Link inquired. "Go toward the heart of this place shrouded in darkness, and open the grave located north. Open to find the dagger covered in silver. But, used it wisely! Once stabbed into your shadow's heart, you can't take it out immediately, but out slowly. The reason I gave you that warning: it may shatter in your hand. Now, go and save her!," Farore vanished into Link's mark, glowing dimly to light the way. Link headed toward the heart of the mausoleum, sighting the grave at North. He rushed quickly toward it, but stopped due to the rusted iron bridge, his foot stuck in the hole. He cursed, then got it unstuck from the hole, heading towards the grave. Link grunted while opening to find a corspe, a dagger, and clothes still looking like they were recently made, but covered in webs. "Okay! Silver dagger right at sight!," he began pulling it out slowly, following Farore's warning, then smiled seeing the blade in his hands. Before receiving the scabbard, he noticed the clothes, then at his tunic, tangled in webs and dried mud. He looked around, seeing if anyone was nearby, then took the clothes and boots, brushing off all the webs, then took off his tunic and boots changing into the clothes he 

Minutes pass and Link finally finished changing his clothes. Link looked at himself for a minute, adjusting himself to the clothes, bathed in the hues of white, stripes of teal, bordering his body. For a minute, he felt like something came out of his back. He removed his cloak, revealing wings hued in white feathers. Link became astonished at the sight. "I possess wings? Angel wings?," Link pondered, noticing the wings. For a moment, he heard footsteps from a far distance, his wings opening broadly. "That's gotta be Zelda! I gotta find her!," he placed his wings under his cloak and sprinted out of the mausoleum.
