Chapter 1: Troubles

It had been several months since the mirror shattered on that one gloomy day and Midna sat alone in her large empty throne room, staring out of the window, thinking. I had perfect reason to break the mirror, why did I not simply tell link how I felt?

Midna's royal advisor, Minas, entered the room

"Your highness, the royal counsel wishes an audience with you, shall I let them in?"

Midna returned from her thoughts, startled that Minas had practically crept up on her, and turned to him.

"Yes let them enter."

Minas left through the great doors at the opposite end of the throne room, some seconds later, the doors flew open and three men and two women entered. These people were dressed in exquisite clothes made from the special silk found only here in the twilight realm, as they walked up to Midna, this became very obvious.

"Highness" the first man stated with a bow "Thank you for seeing us on such short notice."

"It is no trouble, what was it that you needed me for?" Midna replied.

Of the people who entered, the shorter woman started to speak.

"Princess Midna, we realise that it has been some months since your time in the light realm, and we would assume that you are over your experience and are willing to find a husband for you to be queen."

Midna stood and walked towards the window.

"I thank you for your concern but I am still in need of time to think about how to proceed, I know that my people require and need a queen, but I cannot provide them this yet."

Two of the royal counsellors started to mutter between themselves about what to do. Then another spoke.

"Midna, allow us to find you a suitor so that you may begin a proper reign over the people of twilight."

Midna turned back to the group. "I do not wish for you to find me a suitor, I am capable of finding my own husband and I would appreciate it if you would just leave me alone for a bit longer." Midna stormed back up to her throne and sat with her head in her hands.

One of the counsel stepped forward.

"Princess… what troubles you?"

"Nothing, just please leave me to think." Midna answered

The counsellors took one step backwards, then turned and left. Minas then returned and walked right up to the throne.

"What's really troubling you Midna?"
