Yuga was getting desperate. His teasing was less lighthearted, his attacks less sloppy. He was aiming to injure, and Link was constantly having to leap out of the line of fire.
“You think yourself better than me, little worm?” Yuga snarled, then merged into the wall. He sped around the room until Link was dizzy from tracking him.
“Are you convinced that you are as beautiful as me?” His voice echoed from all directions.
Yuga jumped out of the wall right behind Link. “Let’s fix that,” he hissed, and grabbed the boy’s face.
Link struggled for a moment, then froze when Yuga raised a long knife to the hero’s face. “Hold still now,” Yuga sang. “You need to be alive if you’re going to remember your lesson.”
Yuga’s hand closed around Link’s jaw, forcing his mouth shut. He turned Link’s head to the side and slammed it against the wall.
Dark spots danced on the edges of Link’s vision, and he blinked them away. He watched out of the corner of his eye as Yuga set the point of his blade on the left corner of Link’s mouth. Link whimpered, and Yuga hesitated. The villain met his victim’s confused and frightened gaze. For a moment, Link dared to hope that he would be spared from whatever Yuga was about to do.
Then a cruel sneer spread over Yuga’s face, and a slash of pain split Link’s wide open.
Link screamed, voice muffled by Yuga’s hand. Yuga hummed and pulled his hand back, allowing Link to unceremoniously crumple to the ground. Instinctively, Link opened his mouth to scream louder but it pulled at his face, sending more waves of agony tearing through his cheek.
“Hurts to lose your beauty, doesn’t it?” Yuga tutted, watching Link fight to regain his composure. Slowly, the boy managed to ease his mouth closed, barely reducing the stress on his cheek.
Link shamelessly sobbed on the floor, wondering how Yuga could do something so unexpectedly evil. Blood flowed down his cheek, pooling around his hands and soaking his hair. The sting of tears falling into the wound was insignificant next to the knowledge that half of his entire face was sliced open and bleeding.
Who cared about his ‘beauty’, all he knew was that it hurt.
“Don’t get too comfortable,” Yuga said. “We still have to do the other side, after all.”
Link wailed, the sound almost resembling a “NO!”
He was not going to let that happen again.
Yuga had made a mistake in releasing Link while he was still armed. His sword was still sheathed on his back, and would be too slow and clumsy anyway. But Ravio’s magic quiver never ran out of arrows, and Link had enough energy left for one more sudden move. Before Yuga could realize his error, Link had pulled an arrow out of thin air and stabbed it deep into the villain’s foot.
Yuga screeched, cradling his injured foot and hopping on the other. He stumbled away from Link, ending up on the opposite side of the room. The two regarded each other warily, each panting through the pain of his wounds.
“You know, having just the one half of a smile would have made you even more ugly than if you had sat still for the other,” Yuga mused. “But now you have forced my hand. It would be in my best interest to brush you aside!”
He conjured a frame of light from his staff, and Link had no time to move before the magic rushed towards him. Link was once again pressed against the wall, but this time he kept moving closer and closer until he was inside.
“What a sad, drab painting you make. You can rot there for all I care,” Yuga said, then merged himself into the wall and slipped through a crack between the bricks.
Yuga’s magic had only increased Link’s agony, and he was uncomfortably aware of the red pigment dripping down his painted face. Hiding in the wall would do him no good, so he steeled himself and used Ravio’s old bracelet to escape. He pressed his hat to his cheek to staunch the bleeding and tried not to think about how hard it would be to clean when this was over.
His fight with Yuga had changed him in more ways than one, but for now, he needed to take the next step forward.
