The wind swept across the tall grass around them. The blazing sunset bloomed in pink against the sky above.
Link stood before Princess Zelda again, his shadow looming over her. His blade firmly pressed against her neck.
He was ready to strike this time— ready to kill.
He breathed harshly through the violent churn in his stomach, the grip on his sword trembling.
The Princess squeezed her eyes shut with a deep shudder— resigned to her fate at his blade.
All her guards were still so far away, caught up in the smoke and chaos.
She was alone.
There was no one, nothing that stood between his blade, and her vulnerable flesh. One swift strike of his arm, and she would fall here today, her blood painting the fields red.
She was going to die at his hands.
No one was going to stop him.
I was experimenting with a short fic comic (?) for this chapter art! I pulled direct quotes from the fic & plugged them into the pages. I think I like how the effects turned out hehe
Though, I usually don't work with greyscale so it was a hell of a struggle😩!
Also, I drew another picture for a different scene in this chapter! (Link is 12 here btw)
