Author's note: Hi, Pikatwins here! Here is the first chapter of the story I was originally going to post, but my mother lost some of my papers to. Anyway, I finally got those papers back, so here goes nothing, and remember that reviews are highly appreciated.

Disclaimer: I do not own The Legend of Zelda, no matter how badass it is.

Chapter one: Haunting shadows

Two years after Ganon was slain, Link was, for the the most part, living happily in Ordon Village,enjoying the time of peace the sprang forth, even though he felt a gaping hole in his heart at the loss of the person who he had come to love who was a very charismatic Twili that would rarely show her sweet, caring side. Whenever she would though, it would make even the most angry men quickly fall docile. Her voice so sweet when she let her compassionate side show, it would make any man fall head over heels for her. The Twili's name was Midna, the Twilight Princess, and Link had fallen helplessly in love with her. He never got the chance to tell her how he felt however, because as soon as their journey had ended, she had went back to her realm to rule her people, and broke the mirror so Link could not follow.

However, unbeknownst to Link, his life was about to turn on it's side once again, as a new evil has started it's approach... "Link, time to get up," Called Link's friend Colin from the bottom of Link's tree-house. " You told me to wake you up at nine-o'clock,remember?" " Yes, I remember," muttered Link, who at this time was starting to slip his iconic green tunic on. "Thanks," Link said cheerily after he was fully dressed and at the bottom of his tree-house, putting a saddle on Epona, his loyal steed. "Your welcome," Colin replied, who was just happy that he was able to help the Hero of Twilight.

That day began the same as any other. He practiced with his bow and arrows, taught the kids some swordsplay, caught a fish for the store owner's cat,and helped the ranch owner get his goats into the barn. However, as he and Epona were going down the hill from the ranch, Mayor Bo called him over.

" What is it," asked Link as he and Epona came to a stop in front of the mayor's house. "There is a letter of summoning for you from Princess Zelda, and it seems urgent," Bo replied, obviously worried. " Okay, let Rusl know that he will have to train the kids while I am away," Link said while maintaining a calm composure on the outside,yet panicking on the inside, hoping it wasn't what he thought it was. "Very well," Bo replied, who was also worried about the princess.

"Let's go get prepared Epona, just in case," said Link, then he and Epona went back to his house to get ready for the close to obvious journey ahead of them. " I never even thought of the slightest possibility that I would need to use this revered blade again," Link said as he finished getting ready by slipping off the Ordon Sword and strapping on The Master Sword.

"Let's go Epona," said Link once he was all set to go. "O' Chosen One...please come to my spring..." Ordona, Ordon province's light spirit beckoned. Doing as he was asked, Link rode over to the Ordon spring, but what he saw there shocked him beyond belief.

Midna, the Princess of the Twilight Realm, who was also the one who broke the only way to and from the Twilight Realm, the Mirror of Twilight, was somehow in the, being attacked by enemies Link knew all too well. "Shadow beasts," Link muttered as he charged in to protect his friend , who was also the one that he fell head over heels for. "Link!" Midna shouted, surprised that her old friend had come to protect once again, reminding her of why she fell in love with him in the first place.

After Link finished defeating the shadow beasts, he ran over to Midna to make sure that she would be okay, only for her to collapse from blood loss. Searching frantically for the wound, he found a deep gash on her arm, causing him to involuntarily cringe from the severity of it. "Stay with me Midna," Link said with a soothing voice, trying to keep her alive by using his cap as a bandage, tying it tight enough that the pressure kept anymore blood from leaking. Just then, a flash of light occurred where Link defeated the shadow beasts, temporarily blinding him. When Link regained his eyesight, he realized that Midna had reverted to her imp form, but what shocked him was what appeared from the light, which seemed to be a broken piece of some sword.

"What is this?" Link wondered aloud. "O' Chosen One," Link heard a voice behind him say, causing him to jump up, as he forgot that he was still in the presence of the light spirit Ordona.

"That Item you just found...," the spirit continued, "is a piece of The Twilit Blade..., the Twilight Realm's equivalent of...The Master Sword." Link was dumbstruck by what he just heard, as he was led to believe that The Master Sword was one of a kind. The light spirit paused for a few minutes to let it sink in, then continued.

"Collect the rest... to gain the power to defeat the new evil that is awakening...". "Now go, before your friend dies...". With that, the light spirit disappeared back into the spring. Then Link gently picked up Midna, mounted Epona, and rode off to Hyrule Castle as fast as he possibly could, trying to keep the one he loved from dying. telling her to hang on and that everything would be all right.

End note:What did you think? this story was in the works for a while now, and I just couldn't stop myself from finally posting a chapter of it now that it is a little ways in, though it's not finished. As you all may have surmised, this is a Midna X Link fic, though that was not what it was going to be originally. At first it was going to be a Zelink fic, though that quickly changed as the story progressed. Speaking of Zelink and Midna X Link fics, they are my favorites pairings, so keep those kinds of stories coming!

Also, for anyone who hasn't read my other fanfic: The Makings of a Hero, I suggest you at least try it. Finally, a majority of these chapters are going to be longer than the chapters of my other fic, but that is solely because I decided to merge two chapters into one for each chapter, as otherwise, this story would take way too long and the chapters would be even shorter than the chapters of my other fic. As always, constructive criticism is highly welcome, and I hope you follow my story to be updated when the newest chapters come out. Until then:

Ja Ne!
