After Link had killed Ganondorf, Princess Zelda had convinced him to stay at Hyrule Castle for a few days. When Link had made his way back to Ordon, the villagers were overjoyed to see him. Link had even gotten to name Rusl and Uli's daughter. Link had named her Midna, and Uli and Rusl didn't ask any questions. But, no one knew what evil was brewing deep in Gerudo Desert.

x.x. Dark Link's Castle.x.x.x

Ganon lay there, strapped to a table. Dark Link circled the table a few times, his chin up. Dark was thinking of what he was going to do, just take Ganondorf's Triforce of Power now, or continue making him suffer. Dark smiled, chuckling evilly.

"You are lucky I am feeling merciful," Dark said, his voice a mixture perfect mixture of dark posion and sweet, soothing honey, "I am just going to kill you know, instead of having you suffer any longer." Dark chuckled, placing his hand over Ganon's.

Ganon's body made one quick spasm, like Dark had shocked it, and let out a quick scream, then the room fell silent. Suddenly, a blinding light emerged from Dark's right hand. Dark smiled, "The Triforce of Power. What rightfully belongs to me, finally mine again." Dark's evil laughter filled the castle as the Twilight outside faded to the lonely never ending darkness of the night.

x.x. Ordon Village.x.x.x

Link woke up the next morning, the slightest feeling something was wrong. He rubbed his left wrist. It felt weird, how peaceful it was. Link was suddenly overwhelmed by it, even the fact that he had already done what he had to in order to save Hyrule, fufill his destiny was done. Like a hundred pounds lifted off his chest. A small voice inside Link's head was screaming, No! No your wrong Link! But Link ignored the voice.

Link stood and dressed in his regular, everyday Ordon clothes. Link smiled, looking at himself in the mirror. Yes, things were probably as normal as they could get. Link began to reach for his Ordon Sword, but stopped. Would he really need it?

You never know. Link grabbed it and put the sheath in place on his back. He walked outside, suprised none of the children were down at his house. He walked through the village, down to Bo's house, half expecting something to explode. No, there was no need to be so paranoid. Link was home, home meant safety.

Right?

Link knocked on Bo's door, but didn't hear anyone inside. Link sighed, where was everyone? He mumbled, "Hello," and jumped at the sound of his own voice, then a bit louder he asked, "Anyone home?" Link tapped the door lightly, and it slowly creaked open.

Link walked inside, looking around, still expecting something to explode. Then, he heard Rusl yelling, "Link! Link! We need you! Over here! Now! Link?" Link ran out of Bo's house, and looked for Rusl. There he was, standing next to Jaggle and Bo, Rusl was the only one with a sword, and Jaggle had a large stick. Bo just looked ready to smack someone. Link looked over, right across from them was...absolutely nothing.

Link ran to them, and got smacked in the back of the head by something. "Tee-hee!" Link turned around, and got smacked lightly, playfully, in the face.

Link drew his sword, and got flung over the picnic table. The sword flew out of his reach. Apparently, he had made IT mad.

"Link! You idiot! You've made me reveal myself to these idiots!" A female voice called. Link looked down at the ground, there was a girl's shadow too. Link's eyes widened, and he mouthed her name.

'Midna' Link mouthed, his eyes wide Bo ran to him, pulling him up by his collar, "Link, you okay? How does this thing know your name?" Bo shook Link slightly.

Link stood there, blinking dumbly, completely dazed. His blue eyes lead you to the conclusion his mind was in La-La land, while Link just stood there like a little fanboy. He mouthed her name again, 'Midna'...

Rusl and Jaggle exchanged a confused glance, and the shadow giggled. "I really love this game!" She laughed, clapping, pleased with her naive sense of humor. Rusl sighed.

Rusl walked to Bo, "Give 'em to me." Bo obeyed, and Rusl smacked Link across the face, "GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF!" Rusl yelled, and Link jumped. Rusl set Link on the ground calmly, and sighed. Link walked to the shadow, confused.

Link reached for the shadow, but she gasped, jumping back, "No! If you wanna keep the Blue Eyed-er...just don't touch me you moron!!" She yelled, putting her hands on her hips. Link stepped back, confused. The shadow sighed, and dissapeared into the ground. Suddenly, for a half a second Link's shadow took the form of the girls, but then it went back to his. Link looked at Rusl, Jaggle, and Bo.

"Wow. What in the world just happened?" Rusl asked. Colin and Talo had been sitting on a bridge, watching.

"I..uh..." Link stuttered stupidly, "I i-it's kinda a s-secret." Link said, smiling.

Bo cracked his knuckles, "You don't gotta include details, just-"

Jaggle cut in, "No! No, I wanna know every little detail there is! Now!!" Link stepped back, and disappeared. He re-appeared at the Forest Temple. Link gasped, jumping up.

"Midna!? What in the world do you think you just did?" Link asked quickly. Midna came out of Link's shadow, not in her imp form, but in her real form. Link's eyes widened, and he gasped again.

"I do not have much time Link," Midna whispered quickly, "I only have about ten more minutes. I have come to warn you. I need to tell you that even if Ganon is dead, a greater evil is rising. This time, it is going to be much harder. Link, you are going to need to form a small group, I don't care who, just as long as they can fight it's okay,"

"It will not be the same as last time, and you will have a few weeks to prepare. I can not give you many details, but take these," Midna handed Link a pair of black gloves, "Put them on," Link obeyed, then Midna tossed Link the stone he had used to phase to the Blue Eyed Beast, with the gloves on though, he was somehow able to hold it without phasing. "Those gloves are made from special materials found only in my realm, and they are rare even there,"

Midna began fading, Link jumped up and grabbed her hand, "Midna! Don't...don't go! Please, I need you here!"

Link began crying, which made Midna cry, "L-Link, I am sorry...but I have things to do too.."

Link sniffled, "W-Will I ever s-see you again?" Link asked, his eyes were so hopeful, answering him broke Midna's heart, she just hated to play out her sterio-type, be the bad one.

"Link, I am sorry but...light and shadow don't mix...I am afraid I won't..I will miss you Link. Don't forget me." Midna whispered as she faded. Link looked down at his feet, tears falling. It began to rain, which drowned out the sounds of Link's sobs. He walked to the broken stairs and sat under them, holding the stone close to his chest.

"I won't Midna...I promise..."
