Ghirahim:  What's on the agenda today?
Me: Death, Torment, more Death... I dunno do you think I should add this?
Ghirahim: (Looks over the scene mumbling to himself) Hmm, it could be better, but it will do in a pinch.
Me: I will make the next one better this is meant to be a vague teaser.
Ghirahim: Mm, very interesting, but I can't fully approve!  Put it in anyway, at least the readers will have something to chew over for another chapter or so!

Link came to on a large bed, he looked around unable to remember the events of the night before but somehow he felt he should know.  Like last night was some big crazy party he had or something of the like.  Link giggled a bit to himself and rolled over only to find a surprise.  Link yelled and skittered away only to fall onto the ground in his shock.  Ghirahim sat up stretching as he did before placing his head in his hand to see what was wrong only to see that a woman had entered their room unannounced.  Her dark skin and white hair seemed so familiar to him.

“Impa,” Ghirahim said aloud.  The woman peered over to him with a glare as though she despised him.

“I have heard tales of you, Demon Sword Ghirahim, sword of Darkness and Swallower of Light!” Impa said.  Link looked across the room to see Ghirahim standing up, from the second bed.  Impa leapt over the bed Link had woken up on before raising her hands.  Ghirahim remained unfazed by this.

“So if you have come then Zelda is...” Ghirahim pressed.

“Zelda is none of your concern, Demon,” Impa replied.

“Hmph,” Ghirahim replied turning away from Impa.  “She must also be in danger, things are worse than Fi had lead me to believe.”  Link jumped up ignoring the pain in his head to step between Impa and Ghirahim's back.

“He's helping me,” Link said.  Impa's eyes grew in size when she heard this.

“No, that prophecy is not supposed to be yet, if it is than....”  Impa took a breath and steeled herself.  “I see, this is the course then.  Did he tell you he is a sword that you will need to wield?”

“I think so...” Link replied.

“Did he warn you of the strain it would have on your soul?” Impa asked.

“No, why does that matter?” Link asked.  He heard Ghirahim turn around but didn't look back as he focused on Impa.

“You will be forced to link with the darkest and most evil of blades known, and yet still you will need to wield the bane of darkness.  Both will rip your soul in two directions,” Impa stressed.  “Your life will be at risk and if you fail to create perfect harmony between the two forces your soul will be shattered and the world will be consumed by darkness.”

“I will face the danger,” Link replied.  “I won't succeed if I don't try right?  So I will do what I must.”  Impa's mouth opened briefly then closed with a smile as she saw his courage and determination to save their world from the hand it was dealt by fate.

“Very well,” she replied.  She spotted the flute at Link's hip and pulled out her own instrument.  “I shall teach you the tune passed down through the years as a lullaby to the members of the royal family.”  Link nodded pulling out his flute and listening.  She played Zelda's song and watched as Link played it when he finished his flute glowed with power in response to the triforce symbol on his hand as he committed the melody to memory.  Link opened his eyes and stared in awe at his flute it had glowed once before and it made him wonder if the flute had some kind of magic to help him remember songs somehow.  He shook his head however and looked to Impa.  “Remember hero, you are all that stands in the way of the coming darkness, you are our last hope.  Learn to wield the forces of darkness and light in harmony and you may just save this land from destruction.”  Impa threw a blinding deku nut and when their vision cleared she was gone.  Link looked around but didn't see any open windows or doors.

“How did she do that?” Link asked.

“She is one of the Sheikah tribe, I have seen her kind before, they are like shadows of the world watching over the land in secret and protecting it's people.  They have also been tasked with protecting the godde... I mean Zelda,” Ghirahim said.

“What are you both not telling me?” Link asked his piercing gaze centered on Ghirahim.

“I suppose now is as good a time as any to tell you of my time,” Ghirahim replied, giving a sigh he twirled toward link giving an extravagant bow, he grinned as he did so.  “After all, I will be calling you Master.”  he straightened walking to the only window in their room.  “A long, long time ago, I was a demon king in charge of the surface world.  My Master was imprisoned by the goddess Hylia who sacrificed her immortality to be reborn as a Hylian, her name then was Zelda.  I am certain this Zelda is not the same one from then so I am uncertain if the goddess has reincarnated once more.  What I do know is that the hero from that time, Link,” Ghirahim looked back to see the shock on Link's face.  “Faced me and my minions, I was defeated at every turn.  Until finally I succeeded in releasing my master demise, he was defeated however and I was trapped with him for a time.”

“How did you get out?” Link asked.  The male was sitting on the bed now listening intently.  Ghirahim stepped forward before he realized what he was doing and stopped in place before he answered.

“Fi released me from my imprisonment, I had given up on escaping,” Ghirahim replied with a bored tone.  “honestly I am uncertain how my master had escaped unless she had somehow gotten a piece of the triforce.  It doesn't matter now, I will not be returning to his side.  You should get some more sleep dawn is  quite a ways away.”  Link nodded, yawning slightly.  He hadn't realized just how tired he was until that moment.  He laid back down falling back into a deep sleep.


Link felt hot, he groaned feeling pressure on his back as though something were laying on him.  He tried to twist around but the weight shifted pinning him to the bed.  He opened his eyes slightly to see a mass of white hair a single black dot poked out of this white mass and a pink tongue suddenly licked his nose.  “AAHHH!”  Link yelled in his surprise.  Ghirahim rose from the other bed to see what the racket was about.  Link rolled his shoulder dislodging the massive creature from him before getting up and staring at the thing.

“I wonder how that got in here,” Ghirahim spoke suddenly near Link's right ear.  Startled, Link moved away quickly, only to see Ghirahim flash him a look of annoyance before inspecting the creature.  Ghirahim untied a bottle from dog's collar before popping the top and pulling out what appeared to be a note.  Ghirahim frowned as he read it.

“What does it say?  Who is it from?” Link asked.

“It's a letter from Impa, she want's us to go to the Lakeside Cave,” Ghirahim replied.  “According to some reports she has been receiving one of Ganondorf's minions is terrorizing the lake and she want's us to stop them.  It's worth looking into, after all if we can foil his plot we can effectively stall for time.”

“Then let's go!” Link said heading for the door.

“Wait!” Ghirahim ordered.  “She mentions we should go visit the Great Fairy beforehand.  She is in an alcove outside of town, apparently the great fairy can bless our journey, whatever that means.”

“Ok!” Link said with a smile.  Ghirahim still looked skeptical but ran one hand through his hair in slight irritation before following Link out of the room.  Link lead Ghirahim out of the alleyway before he stopped and turned toward the demon sword.  “Which gate is the Fairy outside of?”

“Great Fairy, she's supposed to be outside the west gate same area we need to head from anyway, so she is most likely not very far from where we need to go,” Ghirahim looked at the note again,  “The door has a symbol of the triforce on it, so it should be easy to spot.”  Link nodded before leading the way to the main alleyway.  Once there he spotted an old woman whom he asked for directions to the west.  She pointed toward the main villa where the fountain was and told him to take the left and first main road they came across to get to the west gate.

“Thanks!” Link said before leading the way again to the ever busy villa, it wasn't hard to spot the first main road as there were three.  The alley was southwest, the castle gate was south.  Ghirahim grabbed Link's arm and pulled him out of the way of a cart.

“Stay close to me in this area, I'm taller so I can see the danger before it threatens you,” Ghirahim said suddenly.  Link nodded and they slowly made their way through the bustling crowd to the main road leading west.  The crowd was still fairly thick on the road but it was a lot easier to maneuver through than it was at the center of the city.  Link made his way to the gate which a guard signaled to those on the wall to open.  Link smiled then both he and Ghirahim made their way outside once out they paused at the huge entryway.  It was a huge garden with a large fanning staircase leading from the gate down to the beautiful hedges and flowerbed.  There a few guards throughout the garden but none bothered Link or Ghirahim as the found their way through the garden but as Link began to climb the stairs at the end of the garden while looking around he spotted a door.

“Ghirahim look!” Link said pointing to the far end of the garden just beyond the maze where the door stood.  He could see three quarters of the symbol on the door from their vantage point.  Ghirahim and Link took a look at each other before heading back down the stairs and finding a path that lead into the maze.  It took them a while to traverse the maze with all of it's twists and turns Link even ran into a few dead ends two of which contained a chest with rupees inside. And others with pots or even the occasional guard at the dead end.  He was about to give up and go back when Ghirahim yelled for him.  He made his way down the path to Ghirahim and turned right to see the door they had been searching for.  Link nodded and strode forward stopping on the symbol of the triforce that was before the door to inspect the larger symbol displayed on the door itself.  He read the inscription below the symbol.

“Play the song of the Royal Family and the way forward will be revealed,” Ghirahim said aloud.  Link pulled out the Flute and played Zelda's song which echoed around him.  The ground then began to shake as the door to the Great Fairy's spring rose up into the mountain face leaving a yawning portal for Link to enter.  Link stepped forward once the ground stopped shaking but paused when he realized that Ghirahim was not following.

“Ghirahim...?” Link began to ask.

“I cannot follow you in, Link, I sense a powerful barrier preventing evil from entering.  Go on without me, I will wait for you here,” Ghirahim replied.  Link nodded heading into the spring.  The path was dark but as he approached the spring, purple flames sprung up in the fancy stone braziers, which Link thought was odd. He stood at the edge of the spring on yet another symbol of the triforce.  He wondered if it was the mark of the royal family but he was uncertain.  He pulled out his flute and played Zelda's song once more the sound echoing in the room and then he heard laughter.  A woman leapt from the fountain and floated in the air on great wings.  Her body was cover in vines and large leaves that left little to the imagination a huge bit of her torso was left exposed as well as most of her legs and nothing hid her arms or neck.  The leaves barely even covered her breasts leaving the top and bottom exposed.  He long purple hair flowed out behind her and her purple eyes shone with a mischievous glint.

“Ah, Hero chosen by destiny, You have arrived at my spring with such a heavy burden at your feet,” She said her smooth song-like voice soothing his spirit.  “You have brought with you the Sword of Darkness whom awaits you just beyond my barrier, yet you have not the means to wield him yet.”  She giggled a bit as Link stared at her in shock.  “I shall assist you but in return you must free my sisters at the three other springs scattered throughout the land.  One is at the Lakeside Cave your current destination, my next Sister is deep within Mountain Cavern and finally my last sister is trapped somewhere in the Forest Ruins.  When you return I will give you the second portion of my gift until then take this portion of the gift.”  She leaned forward giving Link an even better view of her bust before kissing her hand and blowing the magic gift at him.  He felt the magic enter him and power flooded his body, he felt as though he could focus his mind and summon something if he truly wanted to.

“What is this?” Link asked.

“I have giving to the means to Summon the Sword of Darkness from Ghirahim's Soul so that you can wield him as your weapon,” She replied.  “Do not forget, rescue my sisters and I will give you the second half of this gift, the information you will need to truly master the Sword of Darkness.”  Link suddenly felt a weight around his neck so he looked to see what it could be.  A necklace with three gems was there all three gleamed a violet color.  “This necklace will tell you how many times you can summon the sword but be warned it takes time to recharge even one gem and a bit longer if you have to recharge all of them at once.”  She laughed then as she straightened back out and disappeared into the spring with these final words, “Until we meet again, Hero.”  Link closed his mouth before he looked at the necklace again as he wondered just how long it would take to recharge.  Link spun around and headed back out the way he had come in, practically running for the light of the exit in his excitement.  When he reached the entrance he stopped a bit stunned as he saw a path that hadn't been there before leading directly to the main path that would take them out of the garden.

“When did that get there?” Link asked.

“When you disappeared from view I heard the hedges rustling and turned to see the maze opening a new path,” Ghirahim replied.  “I don't think the guards realize or even know if it changed at all none have reacted to the sudden shift.  Almost as though they had their memories replaced the moment it finished.”  Ghirahim turned toward Link and stared at the necklace.  “The Great Fairy gave that to you?”

“Yea she said it would make it possible for me to summon the Sword of Darkness from your soul,” Link replied, confused by the metaphor.  Ghirahim looked surprised by this before he shook his head.

“Very well, I shall teach you how to summon the sword within me,” Ghirahim said, suddenly.  Link looked at Ghirahim surprised but nodded and listened intently.  “First you will focus on me and then reach out for the blade once the hilt is completely free from the red gem here in my chest you will pull it completely free while holding your focus.  If at any moment you make a misstep I will punish you, understand?”  Link nodded. “Good, to return the sword you must summon the red gem at the tip of the blade and thrust it back in without losing focus, however if you lose focus when attempting the red gem will break and I will remain in sword form until you try again and succeed.”  Link nodded, Ghirahim frowned he had a bad feeling that Link would forget his instruction so he asked, “Do you need me to repeat any of this?”

“No, I got it,” Link replied.  He focused on Ghirahim reaching his hand out toward the red gem.  Ghirahim spread his hands out as he felt the sword being summoned, the hilt was then free but he felt the exact moment that Link lost focus before he attempted to grab the hilt Ghirahim smacked him across the face.  Link looked at Ghirahim in shock but noted the hilt was no longer visible.

“Keep your focus or the hilt will withdraw,  Try again!,” Ghirahim demanded.  Link nodded focusing once again this time Ghirahim felt Link grab the hilt and pull before losing his focus, the blade didn't budge so Ghirahim slapped Link a second time.  Link gave an apologetic look realizing he messed up again.

“I will get it this time!” Link replied.  Ghirahim gave an annoyed sigh before waving at Link to try again.  This time Link focused all the way through pulling the blade from the gem in Ghirahim's chest.  Link watched in awe as Ghirahim's body disappeared into the sword in a sea of diamonds.  Shock swept through him as he felt dark power slithering up his arm and into his mind it was a bit painful at first but once Ghirahim's mind settled in the back of Link's the pain ebbed away.

Hmph, so this is what hero's think about, Ghirahim's voice said in Link's mind.  Link blushed, he didn't want the demon to know his thoughts or secrets but he supposed it couldn't be helped with their dilemma.  You didn't tell me we needed to save the other Great Fairies, this complicates things a bit.

“Sorry, I wasn't trying to keep it from you,” Link said aloud.  Ghirahim's laughter filled his mind before it went silent again.

Let's go, the Great Fairy isn't going to rescue herself, Ghirahim's voice replied.  Link nodded just as a weight appeared on his back.  My sheath will make carrying me much easier.  Link nodded sheathing the blade before running toward the main path but paused at a puddle where he found a rupee.  With the rupee out of the way he saw his reflection, and flinched realizing half of his face was a light gray and one eye was red.  Hmm, interesting effect I have on you.  Link gave a wry grin before standing up and running to the main path.  He turned toward the garden exit and rushed out to West Hyrule Field where he pulled out his flute and summoned his faithful mare Epona who was followed by Siear.  He quickly leapt onto her back and kicked her to speed following the path even though he wasn't sure if it lead to the lakeside or not.

Link paused at a fork in the road to read the sign one pointed left saying Up River Trading Post and Zora's Domain while the other pointed right and said Lake Hylia.  He nodded following the path to the right where he would surely run into the Lakeside Cave, or so he thought.  The path itself wound and wove around, some portions of the path were on a steep cliff-side and others portions through a dense forested area but the path eventually lead to lake shore where Link hopped off of Epona and looked around.  He didn't see a cave but the beginning of the huge cliff off to his left was covered in vines and heavy foliage for as far as he could see.  There was also a small shoreline beneath the cliff itself that lead most of the way around as well, and to the right was dense foliage and a whole forest that looped around the larger sandy coastline.

He sighed before pulling out his map when he noticed a strange glowing marking that was too the left of his position, he wondered if the Fairy had marked it with magic for him.  He turned and followed the shore keeping one hand to the cliff as a sort of balance in case he were to fall.  He walked for a while before his hand suddenly fell through a hole of some kind and with a yell he fell through the foliage and into a cave.  He groaned before getting up and looking around.  The mouth of the cave was huge but due to the immense foliage covering the entrance it was impossible to spot from outside of it.

“Cool,” Link marveled at his luck.  Something slithered off to his right as he walked inside, he barely had anytime to react as the deku baba slammed into him knocking him across the floor.  He hit the wall and grunted rubbing his head before he got to his feet and pulled out the Sword of Darkness.

Perhaps I should have told you to watch out!  Ghirahim said in Link's mind sounding slightly amused.  Link ignored the jab as he faced off with the large carnivorous flower that stood in his way.  The flower lunged and Link sliced into it causing it to recoil and hiss at him snapping it's oozing maw before lunging a second time.  Link sidestepped this time and cut the vine severing the plant's head which snapped a couple of times before going completely still.  Link heaved a sigh of relief, he definitely would be more careful, especially if there are more deku babas within.  He could feel Ghirahim being impressed by how he made such quick work of the carnivorous flower but ignored the feeling before moving onward into the cave.  He heard the flapping of wings above then silence, he looked up and brought the sword up and across to kill the keese that had been heading for his face another keese could be heard nearby so he kept his eye out until a movement to his left forced him to swing his sword at a deku baba.

“Goddess, so many deku baba in here,” Link noted swinging again as it lunge to knock it back that's when he saw the keese coming at him he back-flipped out of the way and swung the sword but missed the keese entirely Link gave a half grin but the feeling wasn't entirely his.  He dodged another lunge and cut the baba's head off before facing the keese and following it's movements it came back around and Link finished it in one blow with his sword.  He had a strong urge to lick the blade, it was almost overpowering but he ignored it and pressed on.  He entered a large circular opening with several paths leading out and one giant pillar in the center holding the ceiling up as far as he could tell.  The pillar itself seemed pretty unimportant.

He swung at another keese killing it in one blow before scanning the room.  There was the hall he just came from two halls on the right one on the left, he ran over to the left first only to see bars in his way that's when he noticed another hall that had been hidden by the pillar when he reached that one it too was barred.  He killed a few more keese and deku babas on the way to the other two doors one was too high for him to get to and the other was the only open one he could find.  He walked over to it and followed the path across a wooden plank, the area below him had water and vines growing along the wall behind him.  He almost fell in as tried to look back to see how far along the wall the vines went.  He shrugged and continued onward until he came across a door.  He paused as he heard bokoblins arguing on the other side.

Link opened the door and pulled out his sword to face the enemies who yelled and rushed at him.  He slashed at one which fell back clutching it's arm.  He then swung at the next nearest enemy but he blocked with his sword.  Link dodged their large blades and swung getting a couple of hits each time before he had to dodge and block the incoming attacks.  He swung hard at one of the enemies and dropped it leaving only two left, he grinned and lunged at one thrusting the sword into the enemy dropping that one as well now only one remained.  Link licked the blade without thinking before jumping and landing a devastating blow on the last enemy.  A shudder ran through his body as he realized what he had done.

Figured it out yet? Ghirahim's voice asked.

“Figured out what?” Link asked in return.

Just now when you licked the blood from the blade, your wounds began to heal did they not?Ghirahim teased, Link could feel heat rising to his cheeks and a stirring of something that he was sure wasn't his own feelings.  Link inspected himself and noted the bruises from the deku baba was gone as well as the bites from a keese that had gotten too close.

“Oh yea I did heal,” Link replied, amazed.  Link ran his fingertips along the flat of the blade causing a tingle to run through his body, or was it his body?  Link didn't understand the feeling so he sheathed the sword before looking around the room where he found a bookshelf he could climb.  He looked up and up until he found what looked like a large chest.  He climbed up to it and opened it to find a compass he placed it in his pouch before climbing back down.  He left the room following the long hall until it branched one way lead to a locked door and the other lead to an unlocked door.  Link frowned wondering where he was going to find a key as he made his way to the unlocked door.  Once inside bars slid down, locking him in with two deku baba and five keese.  He dodged the baba's and dispatch the first three keese with the sword of darkness before dodging the other deku baba and taking off the head of the plant he then swung around dispatching another keese and dodging the first deku baba again before cutting it's head off and destroying the last keese. He noted the small chest in the corner which he opened and took the small key he heard a click and the bars slide up from the door.

He smiled this wasn't so bad he thought leaving the room and heading for the locked door.  In the room beyond he defeated a bokoblin leader and his cronies before opening the large chest to reveal a map.  He grinned happily as he grabbed out the compass which helped him orient the map and check off the places he had been and the chests he had already opened.  He looked around the room and collecting anything else he had missed such as seeds and ate one of the healing herbs before leaving out the door to the left of the locked door he had entered.  The hall was on a bit of a slope and lead back to the main circular room only just before the drop-off he saw a lever.  He turned to face it and jumped up to grab it and his weight pulled it down.  He let go in surprise as the gate on the opposite side of the room opened.  He looked back just to make sure the lever wasn't going anywhere before he hopped down and ran to the other side avoiding a few keese he had startled.

At the end of the hall he entered another room this one had a locked door on the opposite side.  The room stretched out to the right revealing a bridge with two large arachnids and vines he saw a ledge on the opposite side of the bridge he ignored the large arachnids and used the vines to  swing across the bottomless chasm.  He gulped when he saw the pitch black hole but kicked his legs to get a good swing before letting go and landing on the opposite side.  He wiped his brow before stepping away from the bottomless pit when he heard a snap.  He looked back to see the branch he had used to swing across fall into the bottomless abyss.

That could have been us, thankfully it held for as long as it did, Ghirahim replied.  Link nodded  before he climbed the series of ledges to get to an alcove where a small chest waited.  He nabbed the key before he headed back to the bridge.

“Ghirahim? How do I get past these spiders?” Link asked.  He sensed more then felt the demon roll his eyes.

They have soft underbellies and considering they are on their webs with underbellies exposed they are quite vulnerable right now, just don't get caught in their web.  Link nodded and stabbed at the underbelly once then twice the creature gave an unnatural screech before it hit the bridge and fell into the abyss.  Link then sliced through the webbing until he could pass to get at the other spider also with it's underbelly exposed giving it a couple of stabs as well.  The creature fell into a twitching mass of legs and goo as Link cut his way past the web to get across the bridge to open the door with the key once inside a set of bars crashed down closing off his escape.  Link had a bad feeling about this as he moved farther into the room all he could see was a pile of bones a sword and shield as he got closer the bones stood up all on their own and Link jumped back to avoid a devastating swing of it's blade.  Link dodged attack after attack before he finally saw a pattern just as the creature tried for a hit Link swung catching it off guard but the sword continued slicing down link's arm.

The chainmail kept it from doing too much damage but he definitely couldn't take too many hits like that.  He dodged a sword strike and struck with Ghirahim's blade before back-flipping to avoid the stalfoes retaliation.  He fell into a rhythm of dodging attacking and dodging to avoid being hit just before the creature went down he cut a gash in link's leg in retaliation that Link had almost dodged.  He winced at the cuts but thankfully there were a couple of healing herbs laying around.  He ate a couple and watched as the wounds stopped bleeding and began to heal all on their own.   He noticed then that a chest had appeared that hadn't been there before.  He opened it to find what looked like a toy bug he looked at the  wristband to see instructions that read, place in water or fly through the air with the Beetle 5000 using this control pad.  Link frowned but placed it on his wrist anyway he attached the beetle to test it out he clicked the button on the side and it launched right off his wrist but that wasn't all he could see everything it could see with the wrist device he guided it with the buttons around the room until he found an underwater alcove where diamond shaped device waited.  He lowered the beetle into the water and it instantly switch modes so he could run the beetle into the switch which lit up, opening the bars on the room he was in.  The screen went blank and the beetle returned to the device on his wrist much to his shock.

“Wow,” Link said before heading out of the second door.  He ran across a few more skulltulas, a few walltulas and some bokoblins and retrieved a key, before he found the final room.  He found a switch that he flew his beetle to but it only opened the gate to the circular room and dropped a chest behind a barred room above him.  He had to swing across the room, and climb a vine wall to get to the final key he needed to open the door to the last room where Ganondorf's minion awaited them.  He reached the wall with the vines without incident and climbed to the top to get the key.  Now all he needed to do was get to the door past the bokoblin that guarded it.  He dropped back down to the ledge and swung back to where he had come in at and this time he began to unsteadily cross the chasm by rope.  The bokoblin saw him and yelled before trying to cross as well to get at Link, a sudden idea popped into his head. He popped down grabbing the rope in his hands and shook the roped a few times causing the bokoblin to lose balance and fall into the bottomless chasm.  He laughed before climbing back up and continuing to cross the rope to the large door.  Link took out the odd shaped key but had to position it so it fit into the slot once pushed in he turned the key and the doors swung open on their own.  Link took a breath before he entered the dark hall.

Light streamed into the large cavern but something was off the braziers weren't lit and the water was purple with poison.  Three beautiful flowers were the only signs of life in the pool.  Link approached to inspect the largest of the flowers it's soft purple hue was beautiful in the sunlight.

Link, That isn't a flower, Ghirahim's voice told him matter of factually.  Link jumped back as he noticed the two smaller ones had come up from the water lunged at him he escaped one but was picked up by the other.  He pulled the blade from the sheathe before bashing the baba with the hilt until it dropped him with a hiss.  The two baba heads were larger than any deku baba's he had seen before.  One lunged and Link took the opportunity to slice into it a couple of times leaving deep gashes in it and causing it to retreat.  He then waited for the other one to lunge before slicing it up as well and forcing it to retreat.  Link focus your energy outward and once the two heads strike release the power on them both at the same time.

Link nodded before he began to focus his energy into the area around him, once he felt both heads enter the field he suddenly burst into motion first slicing down one then slicing down the other.  Suddenly the large flower lifted out of the water with a roar revealing that it and the two other baba heads were one.  Link Dodged it's attack a swiped at it but he missed it entirely as it dodged his attack too quickly.  It roared and went for another strike that Link dodged yet missed again when he went to retaliated.  Link was suddenly filled with such rage that the energy transferred down his arm into the blade.  Link looked at the blade in surprise as he saw the dark energy surrounding it.

NOW LINK. Link snapped out his shock and faced his enemy and with a mighty swing of the sword he launched the raw dark energy into the beast that sent it's head to the ground twitching,  Now's your chance strike at him while he's down.  Link obeyed leaping forth and bring the sword slicing at the beast once, twice and a third time before it lifted up with a roar bringing both of it's other heads up with it as well.  The two heads reared back and Link began to focus his energy out once they reached the area of his focus he burst into action this time the heads came clean off with his attack.  The creature roared and attacked at random.  Link dodged  each attack until the beast calmed down to charge it's next attack meanwhile Link fueled the blades dark energy with his rage and with a single massive swipe he sent the energy flying at the monster.  The dark energy stopped it's attack entirely and forced it's head back down so Link could strike it again and again until it roared rearing back up to send another barrage of attacks at Link which he dodged waiting for the chance to strike it once more.  It began to charge it's attack giving Link the opportunity he needed to charge the blade and send another dark wave at it.  It crashed down again and Link leapt slicing into it.  The creature reared up with a deafening screech and began to swell, Link prepared for the worst but instead the plant creature flew apart before his eyes.  The spring's water began to clear and the bubbly laughter of a female reached his ears as the Great Fairy appeared from the depths of  the water.  The torches lit up a bright red like the Great Fairies hair and eyes.  He sheathed the sword as she lay in the air before him.

“Hero of destiny, you have dispelled the evil curse placed upon my blessed spring, I am in your debt,” She said with a wink.  “I shall give you a gift worthy of your quest as a thank you for saving me, please accept this gift as a token of my gratitude.”  She kissed her hand and blew the magic spell at him it wrapped around his wrist making a gauntlet appear with a red gem in the center and a place for two more gems as well.  “That gem hold's Din's Fire, surely it will light your way in dark places.”  She said before laughing and disappearing into the pure waters.  Link pulled out Ghirahim and summoned the red gem before thrusting the blade back into it.  The sword disappeared hilt and all and a sea of black and white diamonds formed Ghirahim's demon form which Ghirahim switch back to the form that Link best recognized, the first form Link had ever saw him in.  Ghirahim summoned a ring of diamonds around him before looking at Link.

“Whenever you're ready to leave,” Ghirahim said with a wicked grin.  Link nodded before spotting something shiny in the center of the spring he ran out to grab the container with a crystal border around it.  It appeared to be heart shaped but as Link held it up to inspect it, the container burst into dust and fell all around him making him feel tougher somehow.  It also healed all of his wounds he turned back to see Ghirahim impatiently waiting for him.  He ran over to join the demon in the ring which Ghirahim then used his power to teleport them back outside.  Link yelled as he landed in the water falling below the surface.  Ghirahim tried not to laugh when the Hero resurfaced spitting water out of his mouth.  “Sorry, I should have teleported farther away,”  he said, not truly souding apologetic at all.  He did help Link out of the lake, before taking a good look around the lake area, which was now getting dark.  “We should camp for tonight, then tomorrow we can head back to the castle.”  Link nodded, it sounded fairly sensible to pause here to get some rest before the long ride back.

“I will collect wood,” Link said helpfully.  Ghirahim took a moment to grin at Link's words.

“I supposed I could go and hunt something,” Ghirahim replied.  Link winced as he realized he should have been offering to do it.  “I can strike down the prey with one of my daggers after all.  I will meet you back here when my task is complete, master.”  The sarcasm made Link frown but he nodded before heading back to the shore then away from the lake look for dry tinder and branch's while mentally berating himself.  He had completely forgotten about hunting after all their rations wouldn't last forever and fresh meat was better than dried meats he had brought with him.  When he returned with a hefty pile of dry wood and bits of tinder he checked his coin purse to see if had enough to restock their rations when they returned and get a decent meal to boot.  He smiled at how full it was, yes he definitely had enough to last both of them, and as long as he kept collecting rupees he could even buy other supplies as well.  He closed it and returned the pouch to his belt.  He looked up to see that the sunlight would be completely gone very soon, He quickly worked one of the sticks and started a small bit of hot ash from one of the larger pieces of wood he had found he blew on it gently to make sure it glowed red hot before placing it in the tinder blowing gently on it to get it to light the tinder which began to smoke at first.  He was worried he would fail until a small flame rose which he placed in the pit adding some small branches until it was large enough to support the larger branches.

Soon he had a pile of burning wood that would serve as their campfire, he tended it while keeping an eye out for Ghirahim but the demon had not yet returned.  Rustling from behind him triggered his instincts and he stood to face the moving brush only to see Ghirahim coming through with two decent sized foul in his hands.  They looked like a wilder version of the tame Cuckoo, but Link didn't say anything instead he smiled a bit bashfully.  Ghirahim tossed Link a dark dagger before sitting down beside the fire.  “Strip a couple of sticks with that.”  Link sat down and got to work while Ghirahim cleaned the birds removing the skin and feathers with ease. When Link finished with the sticks he handed them to Ghirahim who skewered the meat in smaller chunks so it would cook better then the found a couple of forked branch's to hold the skewers up so the meat would cook over the open flame.  Link watched intently as Ghirahim worked.

“Have you had to do this before?” Link asked.

“I have, thankfully I haven't forgotten how to,” Ghirahim replied.  “Now we watch, wait and turn the sticks occasional too cook the meat evenly, understand?”  Link nodded and watched the meat along with Ghirahim.  They kept vigil over it turning it occasionally but it took longer than Link expected.  He did know when the meat was finished as Ghirahim used a conjured knife to cut open to the middle to check the meat.  Link hadn't had to hunt fowl before he had snared rabbits and other small game but most of his food had come from helping the village, and fishing.  Link knew how to do that very well.

“Maybe sometime I can catch a few fish,” Link said.  He looked over to see Ghirahim's unamused look.  “I mean after all of this is over, I'm good at fishing and cooking fish so maybe sometime I can do that.”  Ghirahim smiled suddenly, unexpectedly.

“Does this plan include me enjoying this fish at some point?” Ghirahim asked, obviously poking fun at Link.  Link felt his face get hot for some reason but didn't know why.

“Yea, if you want to that is,” Link replied.

“It might be worth sticking around,” Ghirahim replied offhandedly.  “However, once we're fully bonded as sword and master I may not even have a choice on whether I stay or go.  The only master I have had is Demise and I have noticed that being far from his side makes me obsessed with him and getting back to his hand.” Ghirahim hung his head.  “You and I have a small bond together and it has alleviated that need somewhat, it's manageable but still there.  Listen to me talk, you would think I was some damsel in distress awaiting her prince to parade around her on a white steed.”

“How can we free you from him completely?” Link asked in all seriousness.  Ghirahim looked at Link in surprise but regained his composure.

“Even I am uncertain of that,” Ghirahim replied.  “But the bond needs to severed from him completely before I can be fully bonded to you.”

“We will find a way then,” Link replied.  He smiled when Ghirahim looked at him.  “And then you will be free, I hope.”  Link looked back at the wild fowl and turned over a couple before looking off into the night sky.  Ghirahim smiled, the male was just as foolish as the hero he had met before but somehow when Link said it, it sounded like it could become true.  Maybe Ghirahim would be free of Demise and the madness that surrounded the Demon King.  But Maybe even that was too much to hope for.  Once the meal was finished cooking, they ate and Ghirahim took first watch for the night.  Link almost instantly fell into a deep slumber.

~***WARNING LEMON WARNING***~

Link was back in the cave, surrounded by the dead and dying bokoblins and keese, he was breathing heavily and he felt as though, he was grinning from glee.  Ghirahim appeared before him then and kissed him passionately.  He could feel the demon's hand traveling down into his pant's toying with his hardening length, Link moaned into the kiss unable to stop himself.  He briefly thought that he should stop this but the thought passed out of his mind too quickly.  Ghirahim pulled away and licked his lips before his hand traveled down farther, this is when Link realized his back was against the cold hard ground and his clothes were gone.  Did Ghirahim teleport them away? He wondered until he felt one of Ghirahim's fingers prodding it's way past his tight anal muscles to press inside of him.  Instead of panicking, Link moaned as though it wasn't his first time even though it was the first time.  A second finger invaded him prodding deeply into his core, he arched his back as a particularly sweet spot was teased making him cry out in pleasure.  Ghirahim swallowed those cries in a kiss.  Link wrapped his hands around Ghirahim's shoulders as a third finger joined the other two.  Suddenly they withdrew leaving him craving more.

“Ghira..him... don't stop,” Link moaned when the demon pulled away.

“Who said I was stopping?” Ghirahim replied with a wicked grin.  “I told you, didn't I?  I have no mercy.”  Ghirahim then thrust his hips forward and Link felt blissfully full again.  Ghirahim pulled out a bit before thrusting back into Link hard, he cried out.  Ghirahim repeated this process for several thrusts enjoying the sweet sound of Link's cries of pained pleasure.  The demon then increased his own pace his eyes wild with unmasked desire.  Link felt himself coming closer and closer to climax with each thrust.  Ghirahim licked up his neck to his sensitive ears throwing him over the edge and into paradise.

~-*-~

Link came awake with a start and sat up fully only to see Ghirahim staring at him.  The demon prodded his forehead and asked, “What were you dreaming about?”  Link gulped but didn't reply, he could feel his face getting warm as he remembered the touch and the feeling of being completely filled.  Ghirahim suddenly grinned wickedly his face coming dangerously close to kissing Link.  “Allow me to hazard a guess, you were surrounded by your fallen enemies, am I warm?”  Link flinched how did Ghirahim know that.  “Hmm but that wouldn't make you blush I presume, let's see may-hap you were taking advantage of me in the midst of all the carnage?”  Link shook his head violently.  “Oh was I taking advantage of you?”  Link felt all the heat rush to his face.  Ghirahim laughed as though Link's dream was funny to him.  “Don't worry you're not the first to dream such naughty things about me.”  Ghirahim replied before leaning back.  “However, you may want to get cleaned up before you take your watch.”  Ghirahim then stood up and walked away from the camp fire.  Link took this time to stand in a hurry and head for the lake water.  He wanted to disappear, just knowing that the demon could read him like an open book made him so much more embarrassed.  He removed his boots, his pants and his armor before wading in a bit and rinsing his pant's really good before tossing them back onto the shore.  He then waded a bit farther before ducking down into the cool water to fully rinse himself off.

When every bit was finally rinsed from his skin, he waded out of the water to put on his tunic and boots carrying the rest back to the camp fire so his pant's could dry.  Ghirahim was no where in sight when he returned, however.  Link panicked slightly but relaxed as he began to wonder if maybe the demon was giving him some privacy.  He shook his head, no the demon probably wouldn't give him any privacy, he was about to stand up and go looking for the demon when a very familiar voice spoke to him from behind.

“Hmm, are your pants so soaked now, that you can't wear them?”  Link turned to see Ghirahim approaching.  Instinctively he pulled his tunic lower to hid his very exposed bottom half.  He felt heat returning to his cheeks, Ghirahim chuckled completely passing the pants-less hero to lay beside the fire.  Ghirahim watched Link from this new vantage point for a few embarrassing moments before he said, “Hmm as much as I enjoy seeing you squirm, I'm afraid I'm too tired to fully enjoy teasing you to the brink of tears.”  Ghirahim then closed his eyes and Link relaxed a bit trying to keep is eyes anywhere but on the demon.  He moved to the pile of wood they had, and noticed it was quite a bit larger now.  He wondered if Ghirahim had gotten more when Link wasn't looking.  He shrugged and tossed a few more on the fire as it had started to burn low.  He tended the fire while he kept a look out for anything that may try to take them by surprise.

~***END OF LEMON***~

Link put his pants back on once they were dry but after that the remainder of the night went by fairly silently.  And when the morning sun rose slowly on the horizon Link debated whether he should wake the demon or not.  Link decided against it and instead pulled out his flute and began to play a random little tune as he waited for the sun.  It was the tune of the forest his mother had once sang to him, it always reminded him of home and his parents but it was also soothing and made him feel safe.  When he stopped and looked up he saw Ghirahim watching him.

“Interesting little tune, it may have power somewhere,” Ghirahim said.

“Why do you say that?” Link asked.  Ghirahim grinned before crawling a bit closer to Link just to unnerve the hero a bit.

“The flute and your triforce symbol glowed simultaneously as you played the little tune,” Ghirahim whispered as he was now close enough to almost touch noses.  Ghirahim tilted his head to the side as he watched Link squirm.  “Tormenting you is too easy, sky child”  Ghirahim chuckled.  Link felt his face getting warm.  “I wonder if I can make this even worse for you, after all I have no mercy.”  Ghirahim's words made him flinch slightly, so it was true after all, the demon sword has no mercy just like the Ghirahim in his dreams had said.  Link looked away not wanting to give into the demon's taunts.  Ghirahim sighed backing away and tossing another branch on the fire.

“You said that in the dream too,” Link said suddenly.  He bit his lip to keep from saying anything more.

“Mm?  A latent memory perhaps?  I have told the hero from my past, the same thing,” Ghirahim replied.  “Me and the sky child had more of an enemy relationship.  He would stand in my way constantly and take down any foe he faced with the Goddess Sword, well, Master Sword now anyway.  Fi the little blue flower, hmm, perhaps I will call her Bluebell.”  Link looked over at Ghirahim who was smiling deviously to himself.

“So you don't just plan to torment me alone then,” Link replied, unamused.

“Does that make you jealous, Master?” Ghirahim asked, the way he drew out Master made it sound more sarcastic than anything else.  Link supposed he would not truly gain Ghirahim's respect even if he did gain the sword's loyalty through the complete bond.  “I have to admit however, I am a bit impressed, the way you learned so quickly in that cave on how to deal with it's inhabitants.  Even if you did need my help with that monstrosity that had poisoned the Great Fairies Spring.”  Ghirahim sat down beside Link and gave him a once over.  “I see your pant's dried just fine last night.”  Link felt his cheeks warming up once more.  Ghirahim smiled deviously, licking his lips as though the moment itself was too sweet for him to miss.

“We should head back to castle town and inform Impa of our progress and what we learned from the Great Fairy.”  Link suddenly said, changing the subject before pulling out his flute and playing Epona's favorite song.  Ghirahim sighed as though disappointed and used the whistle.  Both Epona and Siear arrived with haste, Link was surprised to see the two had wandered off after he and Ghirahim had entered the cave.  They mounted and Link lead the way back out of Lake Hylia toward Castle Town.

When they finally arrived Link spotted a masked figure on the above the gardens watching their approach.  Link pointed the figure out to Ghirahim but then the masked man back-flipped out of sight.

“Did you see him?” Link asked.

“I did,” Ghirahim replied seeming none too happy about it.  “Seems we are being watched by someone, but who?  They were too short to be Impa so who else knows we are on the move?”  Ghirahim became lost in thought after that.

“Let's find Impa, quickly,” Link said with a grin.  Ghirahim nodded but didn't reply.  Link lead the way dismounting and patting Epona before walking down the stairs and into the garden that lead up to castle town.  As they reached the gate Impa was there to greet them.  “Impa!”  Link exclaimed.  The Sheikah said nothing and instead motioned the two to follow.  She lead them through the main gate and down an almost invisible alleyway. She opened a secret passage and took them below the city through the aqueducts.  She lead them down an elaborate maze of corridors and small rooms until at least it lead up and out into the castle courtyard she then motioned them follow her along a small path to a side door that lead into the back of Hyrule castle and a large room that was obviously designed for training in secret.

“What have you discovered?” She asked once the door had been secured.

“The place was overrun with monsters of all kinds and the Spring had been poisoned by a large plant,” Ghirahim replied.  “Also the great Fairy asked us to free her sisters in exchange she gave Link the ability to wield me as his weapon.”

“I see,” Impa replied.  “Were you able to rescue her sister deep within the cave?”

“We were,” Ghirahim replied.  “She gave Link a gift of her own, Din's Fire in the shape of a small gem.”  Link looked at the necklace he was wearing to see all of the gems full once more he hadn't remembered it recharging but at least he knew now that it did recharge.  “Also we may have been followed, Demise may already know what we are up to.”

“Hmm, I see,” Impa said turning away.  “It is important we stay the course, take some time to prepare yourselves, tomorrow is a farther journey than today's.  If you have need of any supplies I will inform the guards to bring you whatever it is you need.  Also I will allow you the use of this training room should you have any need for it.”  Impa walked out of one of the doors most likely to inform the guards as she had promised.  Ghirahim was still lost in thought so Link decided he would go and see if he could find the kitchen.  As he reached for the door, he heard the sound of a sword clearing it's sheath.

“Not so fast Link,” Ghirahim's voice rang across the room.  Link spun around to see the demon sword holding one of the training swords.  “Before you take off to do whatever you plan to do, let us brush up on your technique.  I am most certain you are relying on a past-life's skill and instinct but that will only get you so far in all actuality.  Draw your sword come practice.”  Link sighed slightly irritated, but he knew Ghirahim had a point.  Link wanted to survive and honing his skill was the only way.  “First you will strike down these targets following the marks on them, pay close attention to the type of strike it requires for it will not fall any other way.  Once you feel comfortable with that you will face me.”  Ghirahim sounded bored as though teaching Link was beneath him, which irritated the male further.  He pulled out the sword he received from the mayor of the small village he live din before giving a devastating slash to the target dummy.  However because he failed to pay attention his sword bounced back knowing him off balance.  He would have fell it wasn't for Ghirahim pushing him back upright.  The demon didn't scold him this time instead he just watched.  Link gulped before looking the target over then he noticed the clear path,  He nodded and sliced along that path straight through the target before he moved onto the next.

It took a while for Link to finally feel comfortable enough with the sword to say he was ready to face Ghirahim himself.  He didn't know if the demon would take it easy on him however which was why he was so nervous.  He wiped his sweaty palms against his pants in an attempt to make them less slick.  “Ok, I'm ready,” Link replied.  Ghirahim frowned before stepping into the circular ring in the center of the training area.  It was large and gave a great deal of mobility,  When Link entered the ring Ghirahim erected a barrier to ensure neither left the area for the entirety of the training session.

“Very well, I will not have any visible lines, understand that if you are to defeat me you have to read my movements,”  Ghirahim smiled wickedly.  “For the first half I will allow you to read my stance and decide the best course if at any point you choose incorrectly I will stop your sword from making contact, understood?”  Link nodded slightly more nervous about the inability to escape then anything else.  “Good, the second half will be a sparring match where I will attack, this is where you will put all that you have learned into defeating me.  I will be taking it easy on you, however and once I feel you are ready I will forfeit and then we can both enjoy a meal.”  Link was surprised by this, how had Ghirahim known Link was hungry?  Just then Link's stomach growled and he felt his face grow warm.  All Ghirahim did however was chuckle as though he had known all along that Link was hungry.  “The sooner you defeat me the sooner you eat.”

Link nodded.  So the first half he would be watching Ghirahim's movements.  Ghirahim began to move closer he raised the sword into the horizontal position Link struck vertically but found that Ghirahim had used his free hand to grab the sword between two fingers.  Ghirahim then yanked the blade out of Link's hands.

“I suppose it was too much to expect you to be able to read it the first time,” Ghirahim replied sounding disappointed.  He Lightly tossed the sword back to link who caught it and readied himself to try again.  Link backed up as Ghirahim raised his blade vertically, that is when link understood, no there was no physical lines but just like the dummies there was one right path to follow.  Link struck then slicing vertically causing a sea of black and white diamonds to appear.  Ghirahim backed off, “Good, show me a few more, then we will move on.”  Link nodded watching Ghirahim's sword arm and how it was positions as a reference to how he should strike and after becoming comfortable with that Ghirahim smiled before summoning his Dark Daggers.  “Next is some shield exercises, when you deliver an effective shield bash you can send an enemies attack back at them.”  Link nodded raising his shield.  Ghirahim sent the daggers at him but in Link's shock all they did was bounce harmlessly off his shield, Ghirahim rolled his eyes but said nothing as he summoned another set.  After a few sets Link finally had a few successful Shield Bashes to make Ghirahim confident that Link could finally hold his own.  “Hmm not bad let's have a practice spar shall we?”

“Yeah!” Link replied, confidently.  He felt like he could take on any enemy now.

“One more thing,” Ghirahim suddenly said.  He snapped his fingers and the barrier dissipated.  “If either of us step one foot outside this ring they lose the match.”  Link nodded, understanding the rules.  He looked around quickly just to be sure he knew where the boundaries were before signaling he was ready by raising his sword.  Ghirahim took a breath before tossing the sword outside the ring, this time he would see how the village sword held up to his own, he only hoped it was sturdy enough.  Ghirahim raised his hand with only two fingers extended and followed Link's sword movements until he was close to Link and relaxed his guard, giving Link an opening which Link took slicing a couple of times before Ghirahim leapt a little way away he repeated this a few time s until he felt confident that Link was ready for him to wield his dark sword.  It was then he summoned it, switching between attacking and throwing daggers at Link, to give Link some experience in a true battle.  Link soon pressed the attack until Ghirahim was forced to back further than he had expected right out of the ring.  “Hmph, smart move on your part I suppose.”  Ghirahim said then as he realized he had stepped out of the ring.  Link grinned a bit too happily.  “Well at least we won't be too bad off when we eat.”  Ghirahim allowed the dark sword to dissipate before following Link out of the training hall.  Outside he found Link asking one of the guards about the kitchens when the guard pointed and mentioned it was nearby Link dashed off.  Ghirahim however was a bit more interested in where their sleeping quarters would be.  “Where are we staying tonight, by chance?”

“The room beside me,” the guard pointed to the unassuming door and Ghirahim nodded.

“Very well then,” Ghirahim said before walking away dismissively.  He followed the hallway Link had run down to find Link already in the kitchen helping the cooks out by bringing tossing the male the ingredients he asked for.  Ghirahim sat down to watch the show but said nothing, it wasn't long before he thought back to that mysterious figure on the cliff-side who watched them approach castle town as though they had known that Link and Ghirahim would be returning.  If he knew Demise and any Lackey of the Great Demon King it was something they would do.   After all Ghirahim had done the exact same thing, granted he was the one who always ran into the pesky hero most of the time.  He didn't realized he was frowning until Link cleared his throat.

“Something wrong?” Link asked.  Ghirahim rolled his eyes a bit irritated that the hero would notice something so trivial.

“I wonder who is tracking our progress,” Ghirahim replied begrudgingly.  “It's irritating that someone knows what we are up to, it's also incredibly risky for both of us to be watched.  If they are one of Demise's new lackey's it could spell trouble for us in the future.”

“Maybe, but I doubt it will anything that we can't handle,” Link replied.  “We can and will defeat him, no matter what he throws at us, we will win.  We have to!”  Link was looking up at this point but Ghirahim believed what Link said after all he had faced the hero in a time before and somehow that hero had defeated him, the great Demon Lord Ghirahim.

“Well I doubt you are going to be able to do that on an empty stomach,” Ghirahim teased.  He could still feel the weight of Link's hunger through their meager bond.  He watched as Link blushed then lowered his head when his stomach gave a colossal growl in response.  Ghirahim chuckled, some hero Link was right now showing just how hungry he was in front of an adversary.  The cook placed two plates on the table one in front of Link and one in front of Ghirahim.

“Eat up, boys, you'll need yer strength,” the cook replied heading back to the pots and pans to serve out whatever dish he had made.  Ghirahim inspected the meal it looked like a Roast of some kind smothered in brown gravy with carrots, onions and green peas.  There were also log green stalks of asparagus and mashed potatoes.  Ghirahim picked at it a bit trying to decide what to eat first, but ended up looking up to see Link digging in already.  The male had awful table manners but Ghirahim reasoned it to be part of his upbringing in that peasant village.

“Your supposed to use these when you eat,” Ghirahim mentioned holding up the eating utensils.  Link blushed a bit before setting the meat down and wiping off his hands before picking up the utensils and actually using them.  Ghirahim demonstrated by cutting into the meat before trying a bite.  He was slightly surprised by how good it tasted but quickly settled into a rhythm.  When they finished Link looked ready to turn in but Ghirahim had one more small lesson in store before he did.  “Link I have one more request before bed.”  Link looked over at Ghirahim as they walked back down the hall Ghirahim stopped in front of their room.  “I want you to practice the summoning.”  Link looked surprised at first but nodded following Ghirahim to the training room once more.  Link practiced summoning Ghirahim's sword form three times in succession on the third one he was simply too tired.  He even forgot to turn Ghirahim back when he found himself collapsing on the bed and completely passing out.

TEASER: Link wakes and something very unexpected happens, is it a tease?  A turn on?  Or just plain hotness?  You decide when you read, the next chapter, but beware for Death Mountain lingers in their future!
