Prologue
"Well….. I guess this is farewell, huh?" Midna noted sadly. Tell him. "Light and shadow can't mix, as we all know. I can't tell him. I won't do that to him. "But…" she continued, giving no sign of her inner turmoil. "Never forget that there's another world bound to this one". Tell him. You're the damn princess for goodness sake! Show some backbone!
"Shadow and light are two sides of the same sign…" Zelda said. One cannot exist without the other. Would she say that if she knew? " I now know 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."
Yes, she's your friend. Link is too. So tell him.
"Zelda…" said Midna softly. "Your words are kind, and your heart is true. If all people in Hyrule are like you…". Fat chance. "Then maybe you'll do all right". Stop stalling. You need to leave. Now. Midna turned and walked slowly towards the Mirror of Twilight. Stairs appeared from nowhere leading up towards the portal. Say it. Midna turned to Link who, as usual, stayed very quiet. Say it now or you'll regret it for the rest of your life. " Thank you…" she said. Not what I had in mind, but go on… "Well, the princess spoke truly: as long as that mirror's around, we could still meet again…" Yes, pity about that isn't it. "Link…" Midna whispered. She could feel a single tear form. I can't do that. Not to him.
She felt the tear drift away from her face, the current of air coming from the portal behind her keeping it afloat. May as well put sadness to good use. Midna slowly lifted her hand towards the tear. Say it now! You'll never get another chance! " I…" Midna said as clearly as she could manage. I can't do it… Instead Midna gave the tear a little push. "See you later…" she whispered bitterly. The tear floated towards the Mirror of Twilight. It hit the surface dead center. Light spread quickly outwards, cracking the mirror as it did so. Zelda and Link looked between Midna and the mirror in shock. So clueless. Midna stared at their shocked faces. Am I doing the right thing? She turned her back to them and sprinted up the stairs. No turning back now. She paused at the top at turned to look at them one last time. To look at him. Light from the mirror hit her head on. Link… She could feel it now. She was being pulled back into the Twilight Realm. She had to say it, but it was to late. She was back now. To the dark clouds that weren't as comforting as she remembered. I'm pregnant.
