Darkness is all he would know and ever know. He is every sin he is not. He is his every temptation and flaw. He is created out of all that is impure of him. He is born once so that he may live forever. His burden is living, his curse is time, while his gift is life, and his friend is time. Though his existence had just begun, he felt... desolate.
And hot. He definitely felt hot.
The dark persona grimaced and pulled at the collar of his tunic, hoping to air it out and spare him at least some of this damned heat. Crimson eyes scanned the room he found himself in. If he had a childhood, he would have been amused by the fact that the floor was quite literally lava. Instead he silently questioned if the Goddess designed this place with the purpose of it being inhabitable. Perhaps this was her twisted way of a joke-- Summon him here of all places. Was it the Goddess, he wondered? No matter, best he grew used to this temple, his assigned home. The Hero’s mirror grimaced and delve into his fiery palace.
Perhaps his favorite place in the temple was where there was no flames at all. The spring was soothing; something about the water made him feel more at home than the rest of all that he has seen. The fairies at the far end of the spring avoided the personified darkness, as if his very aura repelled them.
He looked up to the statue of Goddess Hylia. The one and only thing that unnerved him about the spring was Her constant presence. He couldn’t help his bitterness toward the Goddess. Every passing day he asked her why he existed, and every time, she never answers.
His teeth clench. Her silence angered him.
He unsheathed the black-hilt sword as he scowled, pressing the blade against her stone neck.
A moment passed and he decidedly lowered his arm, but the anger still burned.
