Searching
A Twilight Princess Fanfiction
Prologue
"Link I…" Midna's teardrop floated toward the mirror, "See you later."
The tear entered the mirror's centre, and it cracked. Link gasped, head shooting up to see Midna's true form smile as light beamed onto her.
She said nothing, just smiled as the Twilight Realm pulled her body back. She disappeared and the mirror shattered, fragments landing in sand as they filtered through the air. Link stood there, staring at the place where the portal should have been.
She was gone
Forever.
Rumours
Life had returned to normal for the hero of time. He was back to being a farm boy, tending to the goats of Ordon. It was peaceful, with the monsters gone, and Link didn't have to worry anymore. He finally had time for recuperating.
He was restless.
He was bored with his life. He missed going on adventures with… Midna. He shook his head, she didn't want to have anything to do with him, she couldn't - not after breaking the mirror. He'd lost one of his best friends… there was one thing that always confused him. She said she'd see him later. He smiled, it always came back to that.
Knowing Midna, she could have been just trying to pacify him, or keep him away while she returned to her world. A familiar holler came from outside, snapping him back to reality. He looked out the window, it was Fado again, wanting help with the goats. Link nodded, he'd be out in a second. Fado nodded and ran back to, what Link assumed would be, the ranch. The dirty blonde yawned and hopped out of bed, ambling down his ladder to the dinning area.
Glancing over at a large, wooden chest at the edge of the room, he grabbed a chunk of goat cheese and sliced off some bread. As he chewed, he stared at the large, simplistic chest. He had placed the Hero's clothes in there when he'd returned to the village… the next time he opened the box to retrieve an extra bottle, the garments had disappeared.
He knew the clothes were magical, the pouch holding all his gear being on of the great tips to that affect. The Light Spirit of Ordon had given him the clothes… Link was sure he'd get them back if it were necessary. And while he wished no evil upon the world, was it so wrong to want to adventure again?
Link practically ran to the ranch, goats were not friendly when over handled… Something Fado did far too often. When he got there, Fado along with Rusl, were trying to keep the gate shut. Link sprinted over, hip-checking the wooden fence shut long enough for Fado to lock the gate.
He smiled, "Thanks guys, dunno why they keep actin' up." He said this every time, but everyone knew why.
"Sure thing." Rusl nodded, words flowing like a well rehearsed speech, "Anything for a neighbour."
Fado nodded in appreciation, before looking out at the frustrated goats.
"Ya know there're rumours goin' 'round about a light spirit that looks like them"
Link froze. Could he possibly mean Ordona, the first light guardian he'd met as a wolf? He tried to think of a way to ask nonchalantly about it. He decided to go with the generic 'Oh?'.
Rusl nodded, "Yeah, up by the spring. It was Ilia who saw it ya'know? She's always hanging out there so…"
Link nodded before hopping the fence, running out to lead the goats back into the barn.
Adventure was in the air.
Sorry this chapter is rather short, but do not despair! The next one will be much bigger!
