Disclaimer: As much as I wish I had the imagination to create a game as epic as LOZ Twilight Princess, I do not own any of the characters, or quotes taken from the game in my prologue...or any of the quotes that start off my chapters.
Don't forget to review! =D


Prologue

"Tell me…Do you ever feel as strange sadness as dusk falls? They say it's the only time when our world intersects with theirs." --Rusl

It was time for Midna to return back to her world. I couldn't believe that we had to go our separate ways. I can't believe she was going to leave our world. We stood behind the Mirror of Twilight, waiting till the time is right to say goodbye to her.

"Well, I guess this is farewell, huh?" Midna said. I was still overwhelmed by everything that had happened while battling Ganondorf.

"I guess so, Midna," I said. She had become so close to me. She understood me and she was a great friend…and boy was she ever beautiful!

"Light and shadow can't mix, as we all know. But… Never forget that there's another world bound to this one," she told me.

"Shadow and light are two sides of the same coin… One cannot exist without the other," Zelda began. "I know now the reason the goddesses left the Mirror of Twilight in this world… They left it because it was their design that we should meet. Yes… That is what I believe."

"Zelda, your words are kind, and your heart is true," Midna said, with her eyes closed, and her hands to her chest. "If all in Hyrule are like you… Then maybe, you'll do alright." She slowly walked over and put herself in front of the reflection of the Mirror of Twilight, making a light case of barely visible stairs appear in front of her. She turned to me and said, "Thank you… Well, the princess spoke truly: as long as that mirror's around, we could meet again…"

I could see the water building up in her eyes. She closed them tight, and a teardrop came down from her eye. It shone bright, with a shield of light all around it. As it made its way down her cheek, it slid off, and began floating in the direction of the mirror. She then gave it a little push with her hand and it met up with the mirror. The mirror then became cracked. "Link… See you later."

She just stared at me and turned around to face the mirror. It was time. I knew it was. Nothing was going to stop her from going back to the Twilight World to fulfill her duties as The Twilight Princess. She turned her head back to me, smiled and winked. Sure she smiled, but I noticed the hint of sadness in her false smirk. She turned back around and walked slowly up the steps.

She stepped onto the platform that would take her through the mirror and back into her rightful location. She turned face to us and smiled at us. Midna's body had then disintegrated into hundreds of thousands of small white grains, which flew right into the mirrors shadowy reflection. I knew that on the other side of the mirror, she had restored her body, and was doing just fine. She was probably being bombarded by questions from all of the local Twilight people. She was probably already having a big ceremony for her arrival.

"Midna, I'm gonna miss you a lot," I said to no one in particular. Well, actually, I guess I said it to Midna, but she wasn't there to hear it... "Things aren't gonna be the same around here without you. Things changed when you came around, and they're gonna change again once you leave. There's no way my life is ever going to be the same as it was before you stepped into my life and rescued me from that prison. You've changed me forever. I can't thank you enough for what you've done in my life. Nothing is ever gonna be the same…nothing."

I was never going to see her again. Through my entire adventure, she was there. She saved me from a prison, helped me evolve myself into and out from a blue eyed beast to save the world, got me to realize my true potential. Sure, people she may have spoken to must think she's a bossy, spoiled brat. The truth is she's not bossy. She's motivating and ruling. She's not spoiled, she's powerful. And she's not a brat, she's traumatized. She was there for me this whole time. She helped me to find myself.

As soon as her entire body was in the reflection of the mirror, it broke into a million shattered shards. I shook my head.

Zelda grabbed on to my hand and I quickly let go.

"Link, everything is gonna be alright! Don't be upset!" she said.

"Peazy, I'm not upset!" I said. "Everything is fine! The way it should be!"

"Link you're not very good at hiding things."

"It's pretty obvious, isn't it?"

"It very much so is, so come and sit." She sat down on the edge of the high tower we were on top of and I sat next to her.

"Peazy, I think I'm in love with her," I said. I looked at her happy face turn smug, but she laughed like she was only kidding.

"She's a sweet girl," Zelda began to explain. "Her heart may not be pure gold, but at least it's shiny. I didn't think you would've realized her potentials. Or maybe not even that she was a princess. I could see the look on your face when I first met you as a blue eyed beast. I could tell that you knew that you needed that slimy hearted imp to help save your friends, but you didn't like it. The next time I had seen you, after Midna had lost all of her power – about to lose her will to live – I could see in your eyes that, although it may not have been your ideal vacation from herding the goats, you needed to save her, no matter the kind of person she is. So Link, I may be powerful, but I cannot read minds, and I cannot look over you, but I can read eyes. In your eyes now, I see that you already miss her, and that the time she was with you, she was not completely cold-hearted. Explain when she changed your mind about her. Explain when she became a good person in your mind…"

"First, let me just say, I don't talk often. What you see right now, this is all Midna's advice to me. She explained how you never get far in life without the power of speech, which not everyone holds, so I may as well use my precious gift…Isn't that a nice thing of her to say?" I asked, without expecting an answer. "You saw it yourself, Princess. She risked her own life to save mine. And when that was, she was definitely not ready to lose her will to live. She knew that she had her reason to come to our world, and she was definitely not going to just let that reason fly, and just let her world be destroyed, along with our own. However, I still thought that she only wanted to save her own world, and cared nothing for ours. I was right. After we had restored the Mirror of Twilight, which took us a hell of a lot of time to do, she explained it. She also explained how she couldn't go without saving our world. She needed to save her own, definitely. She was its ruler. By then, I had found out after one of the sages had named her the Twilight Princess… But that didn't make any difference. She told me that she had to save our world as well…that there was no other option. I had gone through all of Hyrule trying to save her Twilit world, her Twilis. You had saved her life and had given up all of your power. Before we entered the Twilight World, in hope of defeating Zant, she had said that we needed to do this…for you. That's the moment I realized how much of an amazing person she is… That's when I realized that I could not have loved anyone else as much as her. But I can't have her. She…she's a completely different creature…from a completely different world. I can't have her. And it sucks. I have been in love with her, although afraid to admit to myself that it was true, since I had first discovered that the Mirror existed. She destroyed it, and I can never see her again…"

"Link, don't think like that. She is a very powerful woman who has done so much to save our world. She can do anything she wants. She is tough, and she is ruling. She can get whatever she wants. Once her mind is set on something, it stays until she gets, or completes, that something."

"So… So you're saying… You're saying that there's still hope that she'll find a way back? She'll find her way back to us?"

"Of course she will… And she will search and search until she gets her way. When she's back, she'll be a whole new Midna. Trust me on that."

Zelda and I smiled at each other as we walked down the Mirror Chamber. I threw her on top of Epona and jumped on myself.
