We're here, at the end, people! Sniffle...

Wow, I can't believe it. It's over. I made it this far, I finished it, I novelized the entire game through Link's point of view! I can't believe it! I just can't! It's so mind boggling, I swear.

I just want to take a moment and once again thank the awesome ferngirl, who's story of Twilight Princess through Midna's eyes inspired me to go forth and create this, the game told through Link. Thank you so much, ferngirl! You've been a great help and inspiration to me since the beginning, and I just LOVED reading your fic with Midna telling the story through her eyes. It was just wonderful, and I felt inspired to do this too. Thank you!

I also want to thank the person who made the visual guide of the game, because if not for that, I would've had a VERY hard time getting the dialogue and situations. Yes, I'm still kind of pissed that he/she skipped some scenes and getting some stuff, but whatever. It all managed fine in the end.

And I also want to thank all of you awesome readers who have taken the time to read this and encourage me to keep writing it. Thank you all SO MUCH! You were all great, and I love hearing what you have to say about all this. You've helped me in keeping it going, and I appreciate every single one of your wonderful reviews. Thanks again! :)

Oh God, the ending just makes me want to cry. I can't believe Midna just left and shattered the mirror! I do understand why she did it, but it's just SO sad!

I really, really hope there's a direct sequel to this game, and that they bring Midna back. And...well, you know, PAIR HER WITH LINK!!!! :D ...Okay, that's wishful thinking on my part. But seriously! They just HAVE to bring her back!!!

And so we can actually play her in the next Super Smash Brothers game.

I have an alternate ending that I really, REALLY wanted to go with, but I wanted to stick to the storyline of the game. So, I decided to make it alternate!

Here's the REAL ending.

--

We were all at Arbiter's Grounds, in the Mirror Chamber. Zelda and I were seeing Midna back to the Twilight Realm.

There was no turning back now. It was goodbye, nothing could possibly get in our way this time.

I was saddened that we had to say goodbye for good now. Even more so back in the Lakebed Temple when I felt this way, and when we were about to find the Mirror of Twilight.

I was going to miss Midna so much. We'd gotten so close, and now that I realized my true feelings for her, it was even harder to let her go.

"Well...I guess this is farewell, huh?" Midna finally said, breaking the silence. "Light and shadow can't mix, as we all know. But... Never forget that there's another world bound to this one."

"Shadow and light are two sides of the same coin..." Zelda said. "One cannot exist without the other. I know now the reason the goddesses left the Mirror of Twilight in this world... They left it because it was in their design that we should meet. Yes... That is what I believe."

Midna was silent for a few moments, considering her words, and then she smiled. "Zelda... Your words are kind and your heart is true. If all in Hyrule are like you... Then maybe you'll do all right." She turned and headed to the stair space on the platform, causing the lighted stairs to appear. She turned back to us. "Thank you... Well, the princess spoke truly: as long as the mirror's around, we could meet again."

My heart skipped at the notion, as I stood there keeping as straight a face as I could. Of course, why didn't I think of it before? With the Mirror of Twilight, we could go back and forth between our worlds, and still meet again.

A tear formed in Midna's eye, and she smiled at me. "Link..." The tear fell from her eye, and become a little sparkling light that floated away from her. "I..." Gently, she propelled it away with her hand, sending it toward the Mirror of Twilight. "See you later..."

What was she going to say? Why did she stop herself? Was she-

The tear landed on the Mirror, and to our surprise and horror, the glass cracked Zelda and I gasped at this, suddenly knowing what this meant. Because she was the ruler of the Twilight Realm...

I quickly turned back to face Midna. "Midna!" I gasped.

Midna was hurrying up the steps of the light stairs, stopping at the top platform. She turned around and smiled at us, gently but sadly. The Mirror of Twilight shone its holy light at Midna, signifying its activation to send her through the portal to the Twilight Realm.

I couldn't believe it, Midna was leaving, and shattering the Mirror. I watched helplessly, here I was the Chosen Hero and yet I couldn't do anything to stop it. No matter how much I wanted to.

Her body then slowly dematerialized into dusted sparkles instead of twilight squares, slowly departing into the void. It wasn't long before her body was gone completely, and disappeared into the portal.

The minute she was gone, the glass of the Mirror of Twilight shattered. With absolutely no hope of restoring it.

Zelda and I stood there for some time, looking to the large, black rock that once held the portal to the Twilight Realm. Midna was gone...forever.

Midna...

I returned to Ordon, and saw that the children and Ilia had come home safely. Their parents were glad to have them back, and they were all glad to finally be home. At least they were safe in Kakariko Village, and now they were finally where they belonged.

Colin, he had changed so much. He was much braver, now takings word lessons from Rusl, and ready to protect his new baby sibling, which Uli had given birth to during my journey.

Bo was so happy that Ilia was back, and Ilia was happy to see him again as well, after having lost her memory and then getting it back, it was good to be home and remembering all of her life.

Hyrule and all its people were saved, and at peace. For a time.

And now I was riding away from Ordon, on Epona, proudly wearing my Hero's Garb. I knew Fado would be going to my house and calling to me, realizing that I'm not there. I knew Ilia would be waiting for me, knowing I had left.
