Chapter Six: A Plot Revealed and an Evil Released









What happens next in the disturbing past of the darkest warlord in Hyrule’s history need not be told in much detail, for although much happened, little of importance occurred, and what is in the Hylian’s future is much more interesting to hear, so of this chapter in his life little will be told. In truth little is known, for the Dark Knight kept small account of what happened while he was in Hylian captivity, until his last days in the dungeons of the castle.
Out of the things that are known, and the things that can be guessed, one can put together a more or less accurate account of what happened. The Dark Knight was removed of all armor and weaponry after the War of Flames (the title the Hylians gave the battle, among others, such as the War of Loss and the Anger of the Gods) and he was kept in the darkest part of the Hyrulean dungeons, locked and chained. Everyday he was questioned, and everyday he remained silent. There was nothing to tell except the truth, that he wished to destroy the Hylian army and take control of the kingdom and all surrounding land.
At some point in his containment, the dark voice of Khmer spoke to him once more, telling him of the tools he needed, of the black armor and long blade he must construct, and of the secret breed of horses he must find and tame. For days he learned of all of the things that would complete his transformation, and at last Khmer’s cold spirit reached from beyond and freed him from the castle. He went to the mountains of Hyrule, and made his black armor, and the large broadsword he would carry with him from the fires and magma of the volcanoes beneath the earth. He found also the black steeds Khmer whispered of, and he tamed and properly armored one, a horse he trained and was very proud of.
Gradually he learned of Black Magic as well, and discovered the technique of warping magic. He traveled across realms and struck hard, gaining many things, but feeling overall empty. He continued to kill, and to kill and kill, each time he did so feeling better, if only for a moment. It became an addiction. He could only feel normal when someone was suffering. He took to mass genocide and grand war because of this. The more who died or suffered, the better he felt and the longer he stayed that way.
Just as Khmer said a group of people became entranced with everything he did, and became his followers, obsessed with upholding his destructive beliefs and wishes. They were the Cult of Hyrule. The Dark Knight terrorized the world for years uncounted, and it was then that his anger and need for blood became its greatest. He learned that his son was still alive. He hunted the Hero of Time day and night, and when at last he found him…well, I believe you’ve heard these tales. Of his death at the hands of the Triforce Team, and his revival and ultimate destruction at the hands of Modeus the Lord of Hell. But things happen, and the times change, in Hell as they do on Earth. The reign of Modeus has passed, and a new demon is slowly rising to the throne…..
