Prologue.

Link looked down at the wolf with mixed feelings. It was him, but a part of him he never wanted to see again. The creature snapped and growled against it's chains, the sedative having finally worn off. Link stepped closer to the animal kneeling down to it's level, and fur rose along it's back. He growled lowly, staring the Hylian right in the eyes, issuing a challenge. Link could not believe that that thing was once inside, a part of him. He shook his head and rose to his feet, boots crunching on newly fallen snow.

He looked over at Zelda who merely looked back at him, a look of concern on her face. She wanted the animal destroyed for the safety of her people. Midna was no help either, she just watched the wolf with mild interest. The dark shard could not be removed from Link after awhile and Midna just had to activate it… However the wolf slowly began to learn how to manipulate the human's mind… So Midna was charged with separating the two entities.

"He looks different then when you were a wolf…" She murmured, passing a hand through the bars toward the chained beast. The dark furred wolf growled and lunged open-mouthed at her hand which was just out of his reach. He snarled and when she did not appear frightened he growled and sniffed her hand a moment. Link watched the interaction with interest. Midna was so good with creatures he couldn't even begin to understand.

"Link, we have to destroy it." Zelda said calmly, slight tremor in her voice as the wolf growled at her before licking Midna's fingers.
"Oh yes, let's kill something because it's different." the Twilight Princess scoffed, "that's the way to cure all our worries. I only extracted him from Link so he could live his life as a wolf, not trapped inside a human."

Link couldn't watch the two fight, it was hard to hear them like this, because he could see both sides of the argument… and both women were right. The wolf turned his attention to Link, baring it's teeth and lunging at the bars, causing the chains around it's leg to clang loudly.
The Wolf was released from The Hero on Snowpeak, Midna saying something about the cold helping her focus… But Link suspected it was to keep Zelda away so she could let the wolf run free. He looked back over to the Light Princess, she was bundled up in a large fur coat, somehow it was still able to show off her figure despite the bulkiness.
Midna wore her regular attire, but opted also for a tunic… She hated wearing Light clothes she said, she was Shadow royalty and should wear nothing but Twilight clothes. Tunics were, luckily, also used in the Shadow Realm so she finally agreed.

"So what do we do Link?" Zelda asked politely, cutting Midna off mid-sentence. The dark princess growled and crossed her arms before scooching closer to the caged beast.

"Do what you think is best, Princess."

Well what do you think guys? Don't worry, this is just the beginning, do you really think the wolf will just /let/ them kill him off? -grins-
R&R Please, I love hearing what you all think!
