Midna's Quest

Chapter 1

"Do not think that this ends here... the history of light and shadow will be written in blood!"

With that, Ganondorf fell to the ground, dead. Link had driven his sword in to his chest and had finally ended this nightmare.

Link started to run over to where Midna's body was lying still in her imp form. The spirits of the lake appeared around her while he was still running, and all of a sudden he stopped. But he had not only stopped running, it seemed that he wasn't even breathing, and he wasn't. The spirits needed time alone to speak to Midna, so they stopped everything, even time itself. Midna was the only one who wasn't affected.

"You have done well Midna." They said. "You nearly sacrificed yourself to stop the evil forces threatening these worlds, and now that Ganondorf is defeated, we may restore you to your true form."

Midna couldn't believe what she was hearing! In just a few seconds, she'd return to her true form, in just a few seconds she'd be a beautiful young woman again, instead of being a horrifying, disgusting, repulsive imp.

"However you must do something for us. The events that have occurred in the past few days have shown us that light and shadow can't interact. You must smash the mirror of twilight so that this will never happen again."

Midna's heart sank. If they had asked her to do this when she first came to this world of light she would taken that deal in a heartbeat, and never would have looked back or even second guessed herself. All she had wanted then was to return to the twilight in her true form and take her rightful place as princess of twilight.

Then came Link. There was no fooling herself anymore, she loved him. She didn't want to leave him now, and knew that not only would she smash the mirror if she chose her true form but also both his and her hearts.

"No, I can't do that, not to me or to him. There has to be another way, please tell me there is!!!" Midna screamed.

"If that is your wish, you may stay here, but we will use our powers to smash the mirror anyway and hide a shard at the bottom of each of our lakes, where no man or beast can get to it should they collect the other fragments. However, and most importantly, we will not be able to transform you back to your true form once we've done so."

"WHAT?! WHY?!" screamed Midna at the top of her lungs, so loud that if anyone from where they were to as far as Ordon could hear them they'd be deaf.

"We'd have to use that power to smash the mirror, so take a minute and make your final decision."

Midna was very conflicted. She could spend the rest of her days as a princess in her rightful throne in her own world as a beautiful woman, or she could spend the rest of her days with the man she loved, who may not love back, in a small village, as a horrifying, disgusting, repulsive imp.

Sure, she had siblings, people to take over the throne in her absence, but it was the principle. She had friends and family in the Twilight realm and wasn't sure if she wanted to give all of that up...although it might just be worth it for Link.

She was sure she could woo Link over if she was in her true form, but as an imp, he would probably never love her as much.

Midna was frustrated. This was the hardest decision she knew she'd ever have to make and she buried her head in her arms. Midna let out her frustration as she shed a few tears until she finally lifted up her head slowly and angrily.

"Midna, we need a decision right now. What have you decided?"

"Get away from me! I never want to see any of you again!"

"Midna what have you decided!"

"When you smash that mirror, try to make sure you smash my heart too. Now get out of here right now before I change my mind!"

"As you wish Princess Midna."

With that the spirits were gone, and time was back to normal.

Midna saw Link once again running towards her, and though normally Midna would have been excited to see him care this much, but she was still an imp, which might upset him.

Link finally ran up to Midna on the ground and to her surprise, he actually picked her up and held her.

"Midna, are you alright? Say something, please!" Link asked in a panicked tone.

"Link...I...I'm an imp still." Midna said as tears started to fall from her eyes.

"The important thing is that your safe Midna. I thought you might have been dead after seeing the castle explode like that!" Link exclaimed.

"But I chose to stay like this and never return to the Twilight! The spirits are smashing the mirror as we speak, and I could have gone back to the twilight and returned to my original form, but then I would have had to smash the mirror and instead leave the world of light behind." Midna said while still silently sobbing.

"Why didn't you want to return to your own world?" Link asked, still confused about this whole thing.

"I don't know, maybe there was some things I didn't want to leave behind in this world." Midna answered hastily and harshly.

After answering him Midna forced herself out of Links arms. As she started to float away Link tried following her, but she'd kept moving faster. She eventually passed by Zelda and she turned around to speak to her.

"Have fun playing Princess, my dear twilight princess!" Midna yelled to Zelda as she turned immediatly around and continued floating away.

"What was that all about?" Zelda asked Link

. "I don't know but I'm going to find out." Link answered

"Will you stop folllowing me!?" Midna yelled at Link

"Not until you give me some answers!" Link yelled back

"Like what!?"

"Like 'what's your problem?' We were getting along so well, then you make a decision to stay here and remain in the form your in and then you're yelling at me."

"It might not have been worth it, I'm starting to regret it now."

"Then why did you want to stay in this world, rather then go back to your own world when you have friends and family back there and nothing here? Why, why would you do that?"

Midna was now getting very angry at Link so she turned around and gave him all of her fury.

"Because of you! It's because of you that I chose to stay here! Don't you get it Link?! You're more important to me then any of them! I love you Link! haven't you been able to figure that out? I love you with all my heart!" Midna started to calm down, but still had one more thing to say. "There! Is that what you want to hear from me? Is that that the answers you wanted?!"

Link stared at her for a few minutes before finally responding.

"Yes, as a matter of fact it was." Midna was about to say something, but before she could, she was pulled into a kiss by Link. At first she tried to get away, but she realized that this was what she wanted. This is what she gave up her world for, and it seemed like it was paying off.

Finally they broke the kiss and stared into each other's eyes before Link finally broke the silence.

"Come on Midna, lets go home." he said as he hopped up on Epona, offering her his hand.

"Anything you say, Link." Midna agreed as she took his hand in hers, and was lifted up on Epona. Then together, they rode off into the sunset.
