Description
I found the trail of lanterns surprisingly quick and before I knew it, I was following cluster after cluster of them once more. I would've almost considered the stroll therapeutic, had it not been for the looming threat of monsters attacking. However, I considered that itself amusing. The very creatures I once commanded under Ganon's control, now attacking me as I work to save the very land that I had sought to destroy many times before.

My eyes lit up when I finally caught sight of Zora's Domain in the distance. I quickened my pace, hoping to get there before the next sunset. "Just one more bridge," I spoke to myself, "one more and then I'll finally be there."

When I got to the final and possibly largest bridge, I heard a large splash below me once again. Making my way over to the edge, I glared down at the zora. "What do you want?" I sneered.

A frown that could only be described as concern formed on the fish-man's face before he spoke. "I simply wanted to make sure that the journey wasn't being too rough on you. I'm aware that there are monsters lurking along the path."

I rolled my eyes in response.

"However," he hollered from below once more, "you're more than halfway there! Soon you'll be at the Domain and we can talk more then!" The zora grinned, his jagged teeth bared, before splashing back into the water. Had the bridge been any lower, I'm almost certain I would've been splashed.

Oh, how I wish he stayed just a little bit longer.

As soon as the zora was out of sight, I heard a deep growl from behind me, followed by a large gust of air that could only come from the snort of a moblin. My hands flew to my weapons (which were, might I say, in not-that-great condition) as I slowly turned around to face the beast. It towered high above me and had a crudely-made club in its hand. Had I not fought through an ambush of lizalfos, the creature may have struck fear in me.

However, I had fought things a lot faster and smarter than it, and I knew I could make short work of the moblin.

Or so I thought.

I relentlessly attacked the beast, paying no mind to the shape my weapon was in and, before I knew it, the blade of the boomerang had shattered in my hand and I was rendered weaponless. So, I did what any other idiot in this situation would do.

I ran as fast as my feet would carry me.

Of course, I didn't run in just any direction, I ran towards the domain. Moblins, though somewhat smart, are slow as hell and I knew I could outrun it. In fact, it didn't take long to do so. When I was satisfied that the creature had lost me, I stopped. My chest heaved as I caught my breath from the unexpected sprint. However, when I looked up, I noticed that I was closer to the domain than ever before. A grin spread across my face and I began to start forward again, grabbing a tree branch off the ground to use as a makeshift weapon in case I ran into anything else.

I didn't expect that I would actually need it so soon.

What could only be described as a sound of distant thunder rumbled in the distance followed by the crackling of electricity. I froze immediately, looking at the branch in my hand. I knew that wood didn't conduct electricity. I froze in place and immediately hid to think of a plan.

"Okay, Dark," I mumbled under my breath, "when you turn this corner chances are you're going to see....SOMETHING that has the power of electricity. Wood isn't gonna get ya hurt with it, but this twig isn't gonna stand up to it for long..." I trailed off when I realized how dumb my self pep talk sounded.

"Fuck it."

If this thing was gonna kill me, I at least wanted my famous last words to be something that accurately represented me as a person.
