Destined to Drown
This fanfic is currently being narrated on YouTube! Check out Rin's Legendarium to listen :)
A land at peace, Hyrule has lived on for three hundred years, benefitting from the actions of a princess, a hero, and a group of holy sages who did everything in their power to save it. But, as with most ages of peace, it has a fleeting nature. The beast, Ganon, has risen again, released from his magical prison by none other than Goddess Hylia herself. She has her reasons for doing so, but are they selfish ones? While she toils with the humanness of morality, Yami, a lesser god driven by revenge and hatred for Hylia, takes on his own immoral journey to obliterate her. Using the gullibility of a thirteen year old boy named Rinku who he convinces is the newfound "legendary hero," Yami weaves a complex plan, also involving the Shuen, a Ganon-worshipping cult bent on ensuring the beast's survival. All the while, time is running out, as the three Golden Goddesses have plans to flood the entire land as a measure to stop Ganon from consuming everything. Hylia, Yami, and Rinku must work against these plans for their own self-serving reasons, but how can anyone stop the highest-ranking goddesses known to Hyrule?
Sometimes, shadow must be utilized in order for peace to reign. But how much darkness must overtake the light for the world to be saved yet again?
