"...Well, I'm glad," Pit mumbled, somewhat awkwardly. Maybe...this wouldn't be so bad?

The world was forever changed, the day Ganondorf obtained the Triforce and made his wish. The sky darkened that day, and stars rained down around the world. Landmasses shifted, storms and tidal waves were common for the first few weeks until the dust finally settled. All of it formed into a massive swirl of continents, with Death Mountain at it's center. Work had begun almost immediately for the tower, one that shot into the heavens...now owned by Medusa.
Things had changed...for the worse, but life still moved on. Medusa needed live people to keep her power, to maintain her worshipers. Ganondorf needed armies, loyal people who submitted for fear or a desire for their own power. There would always be people against a regime, good or bad. The first problem was Ylisse, ruled by Lord Chrom. A benevolent man, one that could be respected for his modesty and kind heart, and his desire to fight injustice.
It had been months since everything had happened, and in that time, Ganondorf had a leader of his armies. A Black Knight, settled in form fitting black armor, and a blood red cape. His blade was none other than the wicked sword Gurgurant. And his shadow, a woman said to be as peerlessly beautiful as she was deadly. Together, they were the fear and terror of Ganondorf and Medusa's armies, both of them stood in front of Medusa and Ganondorf, the knight's hands resting on the pommel of his weapon. Her temple at the very top of the tower had become a testament to her beauty and radiance, and Palutena still stood as a naked footrest to her power.
Truth be told, Ganondorf was impressed...both of them had carried out their orders to letter, if not to the very word. But this time was different, here...they would crush an entire army. Their plan was a bold one, but one that Ganondorf liked. "So, you wish to first kidnap Chrom, and then you will use him as bait?"
"Yes," The Knight murmured. "While I attack the main head of the army, Samus and her shadows can find him and sow confusion. Then we will catch them in a pincer attack." A bold strategy, one that Ganondorf could enjoy. "And I trust the Lady Medusa approves of his plan, to use her shadow?"
