(Hey guys! New Story time! This is gonna be my Legend of Zelda Fanfic. I know there is a lot of Link x Midna shipping, but I had to. I love them. And this is a bit longer than a simple one shot if you guys know me. Don't worry, this thing comes to me like I'm reading it off a book. I'm having a bit of writers block with Harem King right now, as well as Never Alone, but don't worry, I'll get to them soon. It just gave me the opportunity to start this one. Alright guys, lets begin!)
The Legend of Zelda: Return to the Twilight
Prologue
Link POV
That was it. She was gone. After everything we had been through together, Shadow beasts, countless monsters, and even the King of Evil himself, she had shattered the mirror. For a split second, I was left alone, broken and filled with nothing but an empty void on the inside. The only person I could've ever loved. I knew she had felt the same, she had told me. But I couldn't understand what she had meant. That it was the only way. She knew, no, knows, that I'm the Hero of Twilight. And yet she still cut us off from one another. Even though I could've protected her. Protected everyone.
What's funny, is that I know it was probably for the best, that she was only trying to protect me. But I also know that she didn't want to destroy the mirror. She wants me to find a way back to her. That's it! She wants me to prove my love for her by finding another way. And I will. I'll prove that there isn't a way to keep her from me. Ganondorf thought he could take her away from me, but he only deceived me. I will get her back.
"Link?" Zelda asked me, sounding worried. I hadn't spoken for a while. "Are you ok? That wasn't anything I thought she would do. I'm so sorry Li...Link?" she asked, a bit surprised at the smile coming across my face.
"I'm going to find a way to bridge our worlds once again." I said, determined. "One world can't exist without another. And there must be another way to access the portal from this side. And I will find it Zelda. I'm going back to Ordon, I left most of my equipment there. I'll be back at the castle in a few days. And Zelda? One last question."
"What is it?" she said, the shining smile returning to her face. She was glad I wasn't filled with despair anymore. "Anything."
"If the portal I find, and I will find one, ends up being a one way ticket, how long will it be until the next Hero emerges? Hyrule needs a protector." I asked. "I ask this because if it is a one way trip, I plan on staying there."
"I anticipated that." she smiled weakly. There was something I thought was off about her response, but it was something to worry about later. "The next Hero will not emerge for 300 Years, and this time limit begins after your death. But I don't think we need to worry about that. The children you introduced me to are growing up to be quite capable. Colin will do well, and so will Talo. Don't worry, we'll be fine."
I exhaled a sigh of relief. I was glad Zelda had so much faith in the kids, as much as me. I know they'll be fine warriors. Heh, Malo already sells half of Hyrule's most expensive goods now anyway. I've always been impressed that a 4 year old had more business skill then actual marketsmen. Beth is doing well also. She's doing a fine job learning to be a wife (her and Colin have been arranged to be married by their parents, however, they were more than willing to go along with the plan. Little love birds. I don't think Colin has any idea what he's gotten himself into.)
"Thanks Princess." I replied with a smile. "That means a lot to me knowing you believe in them. Ralis and the other Zora's will make fine allies as well. He's grown to be a fine king. And with the Gorons in the mix, I'm sure you all will be alright without me."
"If you can find another way that is." Zelda smiled. But there was a quickness to her response.
"I'm going to find another way." I said. "Nothing is going to keep me from seeing Midna again. Nothing, and noone."
Midna POV
I'd done it. But I regretted it with all my heart. I'd given him one last glance. One last tear, one last smile. I know he hates me. And I would too. I hate myself anyway for doing it. But it was for the best. I had to. I don't know why I had to, I just did. And even though I feel as it was right, I can't help but know that it was the wrong decision. Oh, my Hero! Why, Why didn't you run to follow me?! I want you so badly. I need you. My wolf. My hero. My Link.
Returning to the kingdom, it was a few hours before my subjects finally got me settled in as the Queen. I had been telling them I wasn't ready, but they simply responded that I was. They thought I was, and that was all that mattered. But just before bed, I was asked something that made me regret my decision even more.
"My Queen?" asked my handmaid, Quronoa. "Where is the king?"
"The king?" I asked her, surprised by her question.
"Ah, excuse me your majesty." she corrected herself. "I meant, the Hero." she said, winking at me.
"Wait..." I sighed. "You know? Is it really that obvious?" I asked, a bit embarrassed.
"Yes my Queen. The whole kingdom does. True love isn't hard to miss."
"But the law, that no Light-Dweller can rule the kingdom…" I replied, on the verge of tears.
"My Queen.." my servant said trying to comfort me. "There are two pieces of knowledge I possess that will make you happy. More likely, three."
"Explain." I asked, intrigued.
"My Queen, the kingdom knows of your love for the Great Beast, and supports you wholeheartedly. We know the law, but we love our Queen. And the Hero saved us. We owe him, and expected to crown him king as your husband when you returned. We all are willing to see past the binds of the law. But that leads to my next piece of knowledge." she began to tell me.
"Which would be what, exactly?" I said. "You keep pausing. Just tell me already!" I exclaimed, a bit frustrated
"Yes my Queen." Quronoa replied. "The next piece of Knowledge I offer is another law from our Kingdom. One that you seem obviously unaware of my Queen. You see, while Light-Dwellers were never allowed to be a true part of our world, even though they were welcomed guests, the Hero, about 400 years ago, came from our world my Queen."
"What!?" I exclaimed, in complete awe of this new info. "The Hero came from our world?"
"Yes." Quronoa told me. "And since the Light-World had need of him, and he was to be the next king being of royal blood, the current king passed a law. A law that stated that for both worlds, the Hero of Time and Twilight would be a neutral party. Neither Light-Dweller nor Shadow Being. Both the Twilight and Light World could have him. And should the Hero love a Light-Dweller or Shadow Being, and come from the opposite world, their bond would not break any law."
"That means, that I never had to break the Mirror!" I sobbed. "I destroyed it for nothing!" I began to weep, knowing that my life with my Hero would've been accepted, and that I had destroyed it due to lack of knowledge! But, then Quronoa gave me her last piece of knowledge.
"My Queen, please don't cry." she comforted. "I bear good news. For though you may have destroyed the Mirror, there is another way to access the Light-Realm, from our world. And theirs."
"There...is?" I said, beginning to calm down, despair replaced by sudden joy.
"Yes. But though it is accessible in our world, it is nearly impossible to open. Both a Light and Twilight Being must open the portal from our side. And the journey there is treacherous as well. However, if the Hero loves you as much as you him my Queen…"
"He does." I said with an embarrassed smile.
"...then only a Light-Dweller is needed for the portal in their world." she said.
"Thank you Quronoa." I said. "This is comforting news."
"My Queen, but does the Hero know about this entry way to our world?" she asked.
"He doesn't." I admitted. "But if I know my Hero, then I know that he will find a way back to me. He's never failed me before. And should he now, then I will not fail him. Send a squadron of our best soldiers in the morning to the portal's location. Tell them...tell them they're looking for their King."
Zelda POV
Returning to my castle, I finally unleashed the flow of tears. How? How could h love her? He's supposed to love me! The one that was destined to him! But that shadow dweller ruined everything! She was my friend, but then she has the audacity to steal the Hero away from me! Well, I won't let her. I won't let her take the happiness that was promised to me. But, how am I supposed to convince him of that?
"Princess, what troubles you?" asked one of my guards as I returned to my room.
"Nothing Shurnalo." I lied. "I'm just tired from the days events. I lost a friend to the shadows yesterday. I loved them."
"Ah, the Princess Midna." he said. "I'm so sorry for your loss Princess. She was a Hero to the Kingdom as much as the Hero himself."
"Yes...well. Goodnight." I said, shutting the door. But after the door was shut, I silently said to myself, "The one I lost, was the Hero. I love him with all my heart. I will have you, Link."
