**I love the Legend of Zelda series, but I don't own them**
The wolf snuffed softly in his sleep. Dust scattered finely every time he exhaled. He was dirty and a bit ragged. A heavy broken chain jangled softly from his paw when he shifted. He had been recently imprisoned, possibly this was the reason for the fierce look he held even in sleep. The imp stood watch. He deserved that much she mused. She had kicked him, jabbing her heels painfully into his ribs to make him run faster, pulled his hair to get his attention and shouted insults all day to egg him on, despite his willingness to do her bidding. He had fallen asleep quickly, exhaustion giving him a dreamless and deep sleep. Midna envied him, she had no time for the moments of peace found in rest. All that was on her mind was pressing on. She had to succeed or all would fail, light and darkness would mix where it should not. Despite all her cruelty in the day her small hand was soft and gentle on his shoulder as she shook him awake.
** Story from prompts. No word limit but had to include Link & Midna and that annoying chain he drags across creation in the TP game.**
