Seven years is a long time to miss. And a very long time to sleep. Still, one person has done it. Twice...
Another side in Sacred Realm...
And the another  in Water Temple.

Blood red eyes opened in the quiet Water Temple in the bottom of Lake Hylia. They looked around to know their surroundings. Mystical mist, that hid the four walls in this room, two doors, one locked, one open, water and in the middle of the room, where the red eyed creature had been sleeping for seven years, a little dead tree.
The creature made of darkness hadn't any memories or heart. That's why it didn't have any feelings. Feelings make people weak, and Lord Ganondorf didn't need any weak servants.
Still, the creature knew where it was, why it was, and what it was. The creature closed its eyes again. It still had to wait a little longer.
So the creature still hadn't moved even an inch. It was just sitting in the place it had already sat for seven years, and was counting time. 2 days and 2 hours had passed since the moment it had woke up.
He was late.
But the creature was patient and knew he would appear sooner or later.
2 days and 4 hours.
"Hey! Look!" a little voice was heard by the creatures pointed ears. "There's a door!"
It also heard some steps on the water. Step, step, step.
"I don't like this", a male said. "It's too quiet..."
The creature smirked. He had finally arrived.
Step, step, step.
He walked by the invisible creature, who had been waiting for him quite some time.  
"Oh oh! It's locked!" The little voice, his fairy said looking at the door.
The creature stood up, when the man had turned his back to him and became visible.
The man sighed.
"I don't-"
"You're late, Link" a cold voice said and the man with the fairy, Link suddenly turned around holding his sword ready. He looked at the smirking creature confused.
"How do you know my name?" he asked, but the red eyed didn't answer. Link got a little annoyed. "Who are you!?"
"My name is Dark Link", the creature introduced himself. "And it will be a pleasure to kill you."

Let the duel begin.

Two swords, two shields, two eyes and ears, but still just one person.
The Hero and his dark side. The dark side, he never guessed did even exist.
But everybody's got a dark side.

A step, a thrust, a hit and blood.
Clang, the blade dropped down and soon its owner after it.
The low water around the loser colored red.

Link looked down to his dark side, who still couldn't believe this. How did Link beat him? This wasn't meant to end like this! But it couldn't help anymore. There was nothing Dark Link would do anymore. He had lost fairly, and would soon disappear as he'd die.
"You're... Pretty good..." Dark Link panted and smirked. "You even beat yourself..." The red eyes creation of darkness laughed. "You may... Actually beat Ganon..."
Link said nothing. It was unusual to have a compliment from an enemy. Especially for the one, you had just slayed down.
"But don't think... It will be easy..." The red eyed said and then closed his eyes.
"Hey! Link! The door is open!" shouted out the fairy and Link took a few steps back.
"I'm not sure, if you can hear me..." Link said and took one more sight to Dark Link. "But I just want to say, this wasn't a pleasure."
Dark Link barely heard that. He couldn't say it, but he hoped Link would make up some better line after beating Ganondorf...
And then he faded away.

Step, step, step.
The door opened, and the door closed.

And it was quiet again.
This is my entry for a dark main characters contest :happybounce:
I would have wanted to use my first Dark Link story so damn badly, but they won't allow works not made for the contest...
Oh well!
That's why I wrote another one.
It's not too long... D:

I don't know if I can win anything with this, but I mostly hope some people would read this :happybounce:
