Well hello my pets... I mean... followers... :)
Link had left Ordon over a year ago, none of Hyrule has seen him since. Rusl took it into his own hands and searched far beyond the tall mountains of Snowpeak.
Uli had given up the thought that they survived. Colon was helping though. He helped take care of Neesa, the baby girl Uli had only given birth to just before Colon returned home.
Today, a terrible snowstorm swept across Hyrule. It had been so bad, Princess Zelda had sent reinforcements to check on the town so far away.
Uli looked to the white crystals falling from above.
Would these bad things ever stop?
"Run!" Auru loaded another bomb into the handheld gun before firing. Ashei was always good at creating new things like these.
"C'mon buddy, hold on. We're almost out of here." Rusl prayed he'd be okay...
"We have to hurry!" Ashei called behind her, she was currently fighting off the things that wouldn't die.
"The map clearly states..." Shad ran down the long dark tunnel while holding a map and half of the hero's weight. "We turn here."
The opening to the darkness was painted white. The snow was so thick, you couldn't see a thing.
"Telma's waiting just at the mountain base, but we have to hurry." Rusl and Shad stopped suddenly seeing a problem ahead. The two men held the half naked hero who was covered in blood.
"Shad! You lead us to a cliff?" Auru yelled.
"We can't go back. There are too many back there yeah?" Ashei looked over the cliff where the darkness ended and the cold began.
"This is the only exit... unless..." Shad re-did his calculations. "We back track and take the first left we come across."
"Then let's do it, for him." Rusl was glad he packed an extra blanket, because they found Link unconscious on the ground with only his pants on.
It was still a mystery where they were and what happened. The boy looked starved, he was cold, and covered in blood. There was some type of internal bleeding because the teen constantly coughed up blood.
Rusl ended up carrying Link bridal style so Shad could read the map better. They needed out of there. They neede out now.
"O-Ordon..."The hero moaned out in pain. "I-it's in... O-rdon..."
"What's in Ordon?" Rusl asked the moaning hero.
"Ordon..." The hero moaned in response.
"The opening should be up ahead." Shad pointed.
"Great. Can't wait for Telma's potions yeah?" Ashei sliced her sword through another what she called, zombie and ran back. As expected, the creature got up and chased them again.
"Shad, how much further?" Auru called back.
"One more hallway-" Ashei dropped to the ground and screamed in agony, the creatures swarming her as her screams continued.
"Ashei!" Rusl cried out. Her screams faded and the creatures dashed to them again.
"Jump!" Shad called out.
"What?" Rusl has two seconds to process Shad's command before he leaped over the gap. Auru loaded another bomb into the machine and shot the roof, making the cave start to cave in.
Princess Zelda sat at her thrown mind roaming the world. Ever since Ganon's death, the triforce of power went to her since she had the wisdom to know how to use it for good.
She entered Link's mind and read as many thoughts as she could get.
It hurts!
Help!
I need out of here!
Ordon... it's in Ordon...
Please don't hurt Ilia... or any of them... please...
Stop! Please! Don't hurt her!
What more do you want?
How many more days until it's over?
I want to die...
Goddesses, why are you so cruel to me?
Please stop the pain... please...
It hurts too much... please just kill me...
Zelda felt tears prick her eyes, and ignored the throbbing in her head she focused and pushed further on until...!
Zelda screamed as she hit the ground. It felt like flames engulfed her entirely before it all went away and she was left panting in pain on the ground.
She pushed too far... she felt part of his pain. Zelda laid on the ground before she could breathe properly and think properly.
Would she ever learn?
She knew what would happen if she pushed it too far, yet she persisted. She needed to know more about these thoughts, who did this to him?
Sitting up, Zelda pushed forward again, trying to find the answers.
P...e...a...c...e... I-I am finally at peace...
"No!" Zelda screamed. He couldn't die! How was this even possible?
"My princess!" A royal guard rushed in kneeling to her.
"Something is in Ordon... I believe Link is dead, saddle up my horse. I'm leaving for Ordon tonight." Zelda stood and commanded.
"B-but-"
"Don't you dare defy your queen you pest!" Zelda's eyes glowed a slight gold before she returned to her senses. "I'm sorry."
"Please stay tonight. The storm is too great to go."
"You are right. I shall stay here for the night. I will leave tomorrow." Zelda sighed and sat on her thrown again and closed her eyes. "Do not bother me. I need to try something..."
I want out...
Link? Please are you there?
Z-zelda?
Link! You need to hold on. You need to stay alive. It's all going to be okay. Do you know where you are?
You died! Get out of my head... please stop hurting me...
Listen to me. I am real.
Go away... It's in Ordon... I told you already...
What is in Ordon?
Ordon...
Zelda groaned at the massive migraine she gave herself. The mighty hero was in trouble... and his mind was clouded. Zelda felt tears run down her face. Even with all the power, she could not save her hero. She needed Midna...
"Light and shadow can't mix, as we all know." Midna's previous words were as clear as daylight. "But... Never forget that there is a world bound to this one."
Midna was saying a message only Zelda would be able to figure out. How to get Midna back.
"Zelda... your words are kind, and your heart is true. If in all Hyrule are like you... Then maybe you'll do alright." Zelda smirked slightly. Midna paused to emphasize one point. It was a good thing Hyrule wasn't like Zelda... in that case, Hyrule would be okay.
And at the point Midna turned, Zelda's hair flowed in the wind, her wisdom seeing truth on her words.
"Well, the princess spoke truly; as long as that mirror's around, we could meet again. Link... I... See you later..." Zelda smiled to herself.
Midna knew the portal would re-open. Hence she never really said good-bye.
Zelda had the triforce of power which was the base to Zant's power. In the time before the true darkness, Midna had given Zelda a coin. One one side was the triforce, on the other, an eye.
Zelda flipped the coin into the air and watched it land, making a portal in her path. Only Zelda and Midna knew of the future meetings. And they'd need all the help they could get.
The princess stepped through and closed the portal behind her. The realm of twilight shinning brilliantly in front of her.
