An: I'll cut to the chase and tell you I am not abandoning my other story. I just need to work on my writing skills and to do that I am taking something I am familiar with TP and Someone I am familiar with, me And combining. Hence the name because I know it's a Cliche I also thought of a name that is generic but is also strange like link. Because seriously who has the name Brand Price. Oh and before I forget I own Only myself.
I awoke to the sound of water dripping onto the floor. When I opened my eyes I realised I was in a cell chained to the ground and did I mention I had fur because I had fur. So naturally I did what anyone would do when waking up not where you fell asleep and instead in a jail cell as a wolf, I freaked the fuck out. "Holy shit, what the fuck happened why am I a wolf Jesus Christ what happened last night?" I shouted while jumping around frantically.
I stopped when I heard a giggling and turned to look at through the bars. I saw an imp with black fur with white and teal markings and a big fused shadow helmet. Midna okay now I knew I was dreaming but rather than freak out again I decided that it was better to just go along with it. "Well it seems the little doggy has a mouth. One I might have to scrub myself. Though I have to admit I've never heard some of those before" she giggled.
"Sorry about that I just got a little freaked out from being turned into a wolf and locked in someone's bdsm dungeon." I bowed a little as I said that. she laughed "You're sarcastic, but able to be polite and converse, and not afraid to crack a joke. I like that, but are you submissive?" she asks seriously. I look at her brow raised as much as I could being a wolf "this isn't your dungeon is it? Because you don't look the type for having fun with animals, but I won't judge." I stated.
She looked taken aback, as if not used to being talked to like this. "I'll have you know-" she started, but I cut her off. "You're here to rescue me aren't you? You don't have the look or talk of a villian, there was not dramatic entrance, or complicated death trap, or a long monologue. So what's your name? I'm Brand, Brand Price nice to meet you." I told her holding out my paw for her to shake.
"That is on a need to know biases and you don't need to know. Now as for getting you out, well I have been in need of a servant to get their hands dirty for me. Are you up to the job?" she asked imperiously. "Well what are the wages, and what benefits does working for you come with? Do you have any dental or health plans?" I asked jokingly. She was not amused "You would get out this cell you ungrateful mutt." she all but yelled at me. "Relax it was a joke. Sure I'll do what you say as long as it isn't evil, but I am going to have to call you something and I am not going with master or mistress, and irate sarcastic imp is to long so I'll come up with one… Well your fur is midnight black, but that's doesn't fit so I'll shorten it and voila I'll call you Midna my lady" I said with great flourish.
She was surprised but tried to hide it with a smirk "Well at least you can name better than your parents." she formed a ball of shadow in her hand and flung it at the chain. It broke with a satisfying crack. I immediately headed for the boxes in the corner, smashing them I dug under and out before she could even tell me I was on my own. "Well aren't we the smart one. Are you expecting some form of praise?" she asked me when I sat looking at her. "No but it will be easier for you to guide me if you're on my back." I told her logically. "You may have a point there doggy let me rest my tired feet. I'll guide you to my friend I think you should meet." then she sat herself upon my back and kicked me hard.
As we navigated the sewers we held conversation "Which way now" I asked "we don't want to keep Princess Zelda waiting." she only flinched a little this time. She must be getting used to the fact that I can work things out in my head. "How would you know that? You don't even know where we are." she told me haughtily "Of course I know where we are. The only place with a dungeon this big and connected to the sewer is Hyrule castle. This friend you are taking me to is not a spirit in this realm which means they have some special power to keep them around. Princess Zelda has the Triforce of Wisdom which probably keeps her physical form, like the Triforce of Courage does for me." I told her readily
"How did you know about that I was told that only the royal family knew about the Triforce?" she asked suspiciously. "You think I didn't try and find out what this mark on my hand was? I found references to it, and they don't keep that secret very well I mean it's all over the place. It's on the Knight's shields, in decorations, hey it's even all over the castle." I had to make up the part about researching and the mark being on my hand, but I didn't have anything else to do I mean would she really believe that I was probably from another dimension and that this was a game from where there.
At this point we had entered a large circular room with stairs spiraling up. I started to climb the broken stair when I got to a part that was broken and unstable. "Hey can you help me out I am the stairs over there look unstable could you float over there and guide me to the stable part of the rock?" I asked her over my shoulder. "Do I have to do everything around here that was supposed to be your job." "Yeah well I'll let you know that the fall to the floor could break one of my legs. Then I won't even be able to walk let alone jump."
"Alright hold your horse." she exclaimed and floated over to the other side having been beaten by my logic. "Jump right about here, okay?" I tensed myself to jump and sprang towards he only to fall flat on my face not even a foot from where I jumped. I heard laughing and then "Oh you should have seen the look on your face it was hilarious." I looked down and realized she had tied a vine around the remaining length of chain. "Very funny" I told her. I undid the knot and then jumped again this making it with no problem. She was still laughing and distracted I used that to to my advantage and shook my wet fur out. She was soaked and hopping mad. I ran all the way up the staircase and out onto the roof before she could electrocute me or something along those lines.
It was raining outside so she would have gotten soaked anyway. I sat and waited for her to arrive. She came out less angry "never do that again" I took that as never run off again instead of never get her wet again, I would probably regret it later. We crossed the roof in silence just wanting out of the rain. They reached a tower on the far side of the roof and I jumped through a window inside.
Inside the tower was a staircase leading up to a large set of ornate double doors. I nosed open the door and stepped into the room. It appeared to be a bedroom with a cloaked person looking out a window. They turned around as we entered. "Midna?" she questioned, I would too if an imp walked into my room on a wolf. "Oh you remember my name what an honor for me." sarcasm lacing her tone. "Is this the one for whom you were searching...?" she asked, ignoring the sarcasm. "He's not exactly what I had in mind, but I guess he'll do. At least he is better company than you." Midna stated. The princess knelt down and saw my chained forepaw. "You were imprisoned... I am sorry." sincerity pooled in the words.
"The poor thing already figured out where he is and who you are, but I think you should tell him how this came to be don't you, Twilight Princess" Midna said in a condescending tone. "I suppose you're right." Zelda said solemnly. "I am Princess Zelda and this used to be the beautiful land of Hyrule." I looked at her with what was the best no dip Sherlock face. "But you already knew that. It was transformed into this desolate place by the king of twilight."Midna seemed to scoff at that. Zelda's hand glowed and suddenly I saw one of her memories. It showed the picture of a throne room with Zelda at the throne. Knights stood in between her and the door. Suddenly the door slammed open and shadow beasts stormed into the room easily overwhelming the knights. Then a figure in a stone mask that covered all of his head walked in. "It's is time for you to choose: surrender or die. Oh yes, a question for all the land and people of Hyrule… Life? Or death?" Zelda dropped her sword upon hearing the question, a sign of surrender.
The memory faded and I decided to voice my opinion while still not seeming omnipotent. "I am going out on a limb here but considering this guy only now attacks us means that either he's new to the throne, or he's a usurper and seeing as how you flinched when she called him a king Midna, I am willing to bet he's a usurper." I deducted. Midna looked angry "It's true. He is no king, he took over the throne by cursing and banishing our princess." she said quietly. "Can we restore the princess to her throne?" I questioned. "Yes in order to do it we have to get…" she was cut off by a door slamming. "You have to leave. A guard is about to make his rounds."
We left in a hurry, trying to get to the window before the guard saw us. I leapt up with Midna close behind and went back out into the rain. "Well that went better than I expected" I told her. "And why is that?" I thought that she would take one look at both of us and either scream, call us monsters, or call us peasants and tell us to leave, but now that I've met her just try and imagine it for a second." The imp did her best to imagine it "Or what if she was slightly insane so she's like "here's my most precious possession" and she gives us a dead rat and she like "it's beautiful isn't it?" I asked her she cackled in laughter but it quickly subsided. "We need to get going. I'll take you to the only place not covered in Twilight© it's this farming village called Ordon." she said as we were broken down into pieces and warped away.
AN: I realize that I am later than I thought I would be in uploading this but I am pretty sure it's a improvement from my first story. If anyone can think of a better name tell me because any name would be better than what I have right now. Anyone think this should become a series but I go through a whole bunch of games keeping all of my companions and getting more and more fed up with the goddesses? (anyone catch the game grumps reference?)
