~Part 6: Weaknesses of the Mind~

"Owww…" Link muttered to himself as he once again tripped over a sharp rock and stubbed his toe. Now he was in a very narrow and very dark tunnel, and he hadn't the slightest clue as to where he was going-he didn't even know if he was on a path at all.

"Oww!" Link stubbed his toe again; he was really starting to get frustrated. Jeez why couldn't I have been left any more convenient weapons? Like my 'Longshot'… or maybe 'Nayru's Love'… that would be nice right about now… then I wouldn't have to keep stubbing my big toes! Link thought wryly about all the utilities he once had at his disposal. Now that he didn't have them, he realized just how much he depended upon something that wasn't needed half the time when he could have done the job himself without them…. Unless of course it came to his tunics and boots, then that was another story. At least I still have my 'Mirror Shield'. Link grimaced at himself; he really was weak and pathetic just like the other's said.

Link slowed down a little and dropped his shoulders, feeling truly defeated for the first time in his life. Before he could depress himself any further though, a fast shadow flew past Link, leaving a cold chill in its wake. Link immediately froze, he thought he was being followed for a while, but now his thoughts were confirmed. Great, this is just what I need right now… it's not like I'm in a bad enough situation so now I have to fight something I can't even see…. I can really tell somebody does not like me up there… Link stood still, not wanting to provoke or happen to miss whatever was tracking him.

Then the shadow moved again only this time towards Link. Link dodged the shadow and just barely missed it as he slammed himself up against the wall of the small tunnel. I have to get out of here, this place too small to fight-I can barely even run! Link turned and took off down the small corridor, heading towards the dim light at the end of the cramped tunnel he and his unwanted visitor were in. Unfortunately the shadow creature was too fast and it was quickly catching up to Link, practically flying over the sharp rocks and boulders that blocked the way through the tight space and only slowed Link down more, giving the shadow creature an even bigger advantage over the slowing Link.

Faster, faster! Must go faster, that thing is so fast, what is it?! It's going to catch up to me before I can get out of here! Link decided to try and throw it off by making a few quick moves of his own, but the shadow creature seemed to catch on quickly and it only sped up more, getting closer and closer to Link. It's too close… yes! There's the end! Okay, just make it to the light, you can make it Link, come on! MOVE! The end of the tunnel was so close Link could feel the hot gusts of air blowing against him. Right there… as soon as his foot hit the ground of the outer tunnel area, he was stopped by something grabbing hold of the back of his tunic and ripping him back into the tunnel then throwing him back out into the open area with such force it could have even rivaled Ganon's power.

Link couldn't even fathom what was happening in those seconds; he felt himself being lifted too high above the ground, and then he was launched across the great expanse of the room in a way he wished he wouldn't have been. He soon found himself falling, and the ground suddenly becoming all too close for comfort. Oh god, this is gonna hurt. Unfortunately, when something soft hits something hard, something has to break; and break, something did only it wasn't the hard something that broke.

A loud and sickening 'crrrack' was heard as Link's right shoulder met the hard blood-covered ground. He didn't land immediately, instead he flipped over himself, landing flat on his back after his shoulder hit the floor, knocking the wind completely out of him. Link momentarily blacked-out, then everything came back to him with a sickening force and he almost vomited. He could hardly breathe, and the pain in his right shoulder was unbearable; everything looked like somebody had taken a wet paintbrush to an unfinished painting and dripped the water down it causing it to blur and the colors to swirl together in a very confusing and dizzying manner. Link was so confused, he didn't know up from down and left from right; he couldn't even remember where he was at and why-he could barely remember his name!

He fought with all his senses to try and control the pain and put a reason to the situation but he was too dizzy and hurt so much, he couldn't even think straight. He tried to lift his head up and see what was going on around him but he only succeeded in making himself feel even dizzier and even sicker than before. He lolled his head from side-to-side, moaning from the agony and ache that accompanied the broken arm and loss of breath. Then a faint clicking sound was heard not too far from Link; he didn't know what it was-it sounded like laughing but at the same time it didn't. Link frowned, trying to decipher what the noise was but he couldn't straiten his blurry mind and stop the sickening motion of everything around him.

The clicking continued though and it only seemed to get louder with each second, leaving Link even more confused and at a loss as to what to do with the thing that was making the strange laughing noise when it got too close to him. What am I supposed to do?! I don't even have any fairies… I can't heal my arm, I can't use my shield-not like it would do any good… God, it can't end like this, I haven't even seen Sheik…I just got here! What am I supposed to do!!?! Link fought with all he had, trying desperately to hold back the tears of anguish he felt for himself and the urge to scream out for someone to help him. Though he knew it wouldn't matter; there was nobody around to hear his pleas of help nor would anybody most likely help him if he were to need assistance… he was dead.

Link didn't want to give up but he felt so weak and his arm hurt so bloody much! He lay there, helpless, wanting nothing more than for the cackling creature to put him out of his misery; he could feel his whole right side becoming numb with the pain and it hurt to even breathe lightly, what could he possibly do to save himself now? The crunching of the dead ground beneath the shadow creature grew louder, closer to Link and the clicking laugh grew more fierce with each step it took. Link closed his eyes as tightly as he could and blindly groped for something-anything that could possibly help him, even in the least.

Breathing so loud, the creatures breath was on Link's face down his throat, the heat flowing through his tunic across his chest. Link's breath quickened with the foreign heat nearing closer and closer to his body-he could smell the shadow creature it was so close. He couldn't fight the urge to open his eyes and before he knew what he had done his wide baby-blue eyes flew open and he was staring face-to-face, eye-to-eye with the shadow creature that was about to kill him. Link's eyes widened to an impossible size and he found himself holding his breath in fear that one wrong move could cost him his life sooner than the creature originally intended.

The shadow creature looming above Link was enormous! It was taller than Ganondorf was; now it seemed obvious as to why it was able to lift Link so high off the ground and throw him so far, but it was unbelievable at how fast the thing was for such mass. It had broad shoulders that were tipped off with three very sharp looking spikes on each side and the arms were practically as long as the creature was tall. Its skin or scales or whatever it could have been called was a dark brown, almost as if it had been working out in the sun all its life; there wasn't a single square inch of its body that wasn't pure muscle and didn't show it-every time the creature moved even the slightest bit the muscles in its arms and chest and stomach rippled with the power that threatened to end Link's life any moment. It had hands and feet-five fingers and toes on each, it even looked like it was Hylian… at one time, but now it looked like a creature that had been tortured for thousands and thousands of years, a poor soul that had to suffer through the slavery of the Underworld and was forced to live through it and the only way to survive was to become stronger than those around it and become fiercer than even the most cruel and frightening of monsters.

It's face was twisted back with a snarl across its lips to flash quite a large set of very sharp and very long fangs witch looked nothing like a Hyrulian but it still had a nose-very blunt and flat across its face. A few scars adorned its left cheek-one trailing down its large chin and on the other side a very large and deep scar ran across its upper cheek just below its eyes witch seemed to enchant Link the most. They were so piercing and dark-demanding, pulling Link into them and making him forget everything else except those eyes and the desire within them. The creature's breath became louder and grew quicker as it inched closer to Link, bringing their faces only centimeters away from each other. Link didn't know what was happening, he was completely lost to the world around him and himself, all that mattered were those dark piercing blue eyes and the creature they belonged to.

Link's eyes began to flutter closed and his body completely relaxed, totally unaware of the danger he was in. All pain left his arm and chest and Link felt as though he was floating in mid-air. He opened his eyes one more time and saw the creature smiling at him, or with what he thought was a smile-for the shadow creature. Link frowned, not understanding why, but he felt as though this was wrong that the whole act of letting go and giving himself to the creature above was completely wrong but he did not understand why he felt that way either-everything left him: common sense, reality, imagination, fear, worry, anger, confusion, pain, love… all to be replaced with… nothing. But one thought still clung strong to his heart and mind, Forgive me Sheik…I love you… And before he knew what happened next, his world went completely black and his senses completely blank.
