The siege on Hyrule Castle happened only a few weeks ago, yet it already feels as if it's been an eternity.

There was no living soul around, just spirits that you couldn't even interact with, and weird shadow things that you didn't want to interact with.

You're not sure why you still had your body. You're not sure why you're still alive.

You were nothing more than a servant to the Princess, and had been tidying up one of the guest rooms when everything had happened. Honestly, you think that maybe that's why you were being kept.

The weird shadows that Ganondorf had at his beck and call didn't seem like good servants, and the strange guy—Zant—seemed too eager to do what Ganondorf asked of him.

You were the only one competent enough to get anything done, so maybe that's why you were still around? That's your reasoning, at least, but... really, it's just because Ganondorf had taken a liking to you.

Others cowered in fear at the mere mention of his name, but you had a fire in you. A fire he wanted to break and reshape.

The tension between the two of you was palpable, and you wanted nothing more than to disappear from his sight and return to your quarters

But the 'king' had insisted on you eating dinner with him tonight, and you sincerely doubt he'd let you just leave the dining room on your own accord.

"Don't just sit there," His voice rings through the room, snapping you out of your thoughts and bringing you back to the present you were trapped in.

He wasn't even sparing you a glance as he cut into the meat on his plate, "Eat." He orders.
