The Snake and The Songbird (LoZ AU Fanfic)

Hyrule is entering another wave of peace as a great evil was finally put to rest once more. The mission is complete and the darkness is sealed away...well...not all of it. A familiar face is spat back out from the shadows, but is changed after more than a millennium in the dark.

Ghirahim remembers the surface and those who roamed its rolling forests, mountains and plains. He also remembers that fateful night where his plan finally came to fruition, and his master was resurrected. The demon lord had won and the skychild had lost, though neither left unscathed. Upon his master's return, and his blade form ripped from his chest, Ghirahim fell into a haze

Everything after that was the blur.

He remembers the familiar sting of edges clashing, scraping, and sparking against each other. Lightning surged through him, making everything seem...slow. And, as the battle raged on, Ghirahim must finally passed out cause the thing he remembers is the darkness reaching out and snatching him away.

Now, we follow the demon lord after he was released from the shadows an untold amount of decades later. Hyrule bustles around him, and he is captured by a band of familiar faces. Will he uncover what woke him up? How will the truth change him?
