I know this is a bit short, I just wanted to publish the intro as a chapter by itself, future chapters will be longer, I promise.

Intro

Zelda looked over at Link, his normally calm and collected face was covered with a myriad of emotions, switching intermittently between, grief, sadness, anger and disbelief. A lone tear wove a crooked path down his cheeks as he watched the glittering particles floating in the air; all that was left of the mirror. Zelda opened her mouth to say something, but decided to wait a little longer, observing the hero as he struggled to regain his composure. Looking down, Link stooped, picking something off the ground and examining it. Leaning forward in an attempt to see past him, Zelda tried to ascertain what it was he was looking at. Her eyes widened slightly, it was a single mirror shard, the only solid proof the mirror had even existed. She watched him close his fist around the small object before placing it into his seemingly bottomless pouch. As he stood, Zelda at last broke the silence.

"Link… Look at me." Link turned to face her with a mask of indifference forming on his face in an effort to conceal his emotions, but they still raged in his eyes, a part of her died looking at him, knowing he was trying his best to keep his face straight, a pool of unshed tears glistening on his eyelids.

"I think Midna was doing what she thought was the right thing." His eyes pierced into her soul as he dared her to continue speaking. Without a word, he turned and began to walk towards the exit.

"Goodbye, Zelda." Zelda's eyes fell, a wave of emotion pressuring her to let him be, but not before...

"She gave me a letter for you, Link..." Link froze, "She discussed this with me the night of the celebration". Link slowly turned to Zelda, his mask twitching slightly, controlled rage burning unconcealed in his eyes until he once again turned to the exit and left her to her own deafening silence. Zelda sighed and looked up at the starry sky, wondering why it had to come to this.

Zelda walked slowly out the castle doors, squinting slightly as she adjusted to the bright lights stationed outside. The courtyard was filled with tents, lights and people. She watched as a little girl rode on her father's shoulders, steering him in the direction she wanted by pulling on his ears. A gentle smile spread across her face as a lady came up to the pair, handing a teddy bear up to the small girl, the smile widening as the girl squealed with delight and squeezed the small toy. She turned as Link came up beside her, a broad smile adorning his face, his eyes twinkling as he came up to her. Link paused beside her, taking in her attire, she was dressed in a flowing white gown that dragged slightly on the floor with an overly frilly end giving it the effect that it seemed to be rippling. The dress' sleeves cut off just past her shoulders, very little of her arms were showing however, as gloves ran past her elbow. Her hair was done in her usual style with two tails on either side of her face with the rest of it flowing down over her back. All-in-all, he had to admit, she was stunning. Her smile widened slightly when she saw him, but fell equally as slightly as Midna came up behind him. Personally, she held no ill will against Midna, but recognised her as a threat to her pursuing Link.

Link turned towards Midna, she wore a replica of Zelda's dress but in black with blue lines instead of white, there was also no triforce sign. Her hair was left unrestrained to flow down her back, with a small flower, given to her by Link, tucked neatly above her right ear, although Link had admitted Zelda was stunning, there would still never be a comparison in his heart, to Midna. If possible, Link's smile grew even wider as he looked over Midna, who smiled equally as widely at him, before all three of them turned towards the crowd, and descended the steps to make their way to the banquet table.

"Zelda..." Zelda looke over at Midna, her eyelids drooping slightly as they made their way through the castle, having bade Link goodnight at his door. "I wanted to talk to you..." Zelda's eyes scanned Midna's face, her eyebrows were furrowed, her mouth slightly down turned and her eyes dully showing sadness, a complete turnaround from her expression a few minutes ago. Holding up a hand to signal Midna to wait, she led her through the corridors to her private chambers, leading her to the bed and beckoning her to sit. Midna sat, staring at the floor, unsure of how to go about explaining this to her friend.

"I'm leaving, Zelda..." Zelda looked confused for a moment

"But you said you wanted to talk about something..."

"That's not what I mean... I mean that i'm leaving Hyrule... for good." she let the words hang in the air for a few moments. "I'm going to destroy the Mirror of Twilight." There are several things Zelda would have never thought she would have done in her life, but at this very moment, she was gaping at Midna

"WHAT?!" Midna looked up at Zelda, a deep sadness in her eyes, opening her mouth as she began to explain.

Bringing herself back to the present, Zelda sighed, looking back at the exit, as if hoping Link would walk back through the archway, fully knowing he wouldn't. Taking a deep breath, she followed in his footsteps and left the place as well.
