It shattered into hundreds of shards. I didn't even move at first, this could not be happening. My only connection to her shattered, and she shattered it. I felt like my heart was ripping and shredding slowly. I thought she loved me too, or at least liked me. She is the only one who truly understood. Why would she… did she really do this...? Why would she do this...?

I dropped slowly to my knees, I felt mortally wounded. Everyone around me was screaming. Princess Zelda simply stared at the empty frame. I could feel slivers of glass bite into my skin. I could not understand, you could have at least said goodbye. Was it too hard? We went through so much together. Wasn't I at least worth a goodbye, you selfish bitch. I gave you my heart and my soul and you can't even face me to say farewell?!

The world was muted to my ears, the screams silenced. The world around me was slowed, their movements sluggish. I studied the frame, there was a large shard of the mirror left in the corner. I tugged at it, and felt the sharp edges slice into my skin. The glass was now slick with blood I could not get this small shard out. I could destroy evil but this simple shard had defeated me. I could beat Ganon but I could not hold on to my love.

I pulled a small sword out of its scabbard. This sword so wished it could even compare to the master sword. I wedged the sword between the glass and the frame. I twisted the knife, I tugged, my sword thoroughly coated in blood. The glass finally gave up and popped out of the frame. I grasped the glass, holding onto it as tight as I could. Pain shot up my arms as tears streamed down my face.

Someone tried to pull my arm. Tried to get me to leave, No this is my only connection. I cried until tears no longer formed. I sobbed, I screamed, She was gone forever by her own damn choice. I was being dragged away, three huge guards were slowly dragging me from the mirror. I fought against them, I heard Zelda shouting orders, reinforcements came. Almost six men were dragging me, I clung to the frame of the mirror. My fingers were pried slowly off the metal frame, my arms soaked in my own blood.

The last thing I saw was the mirror getting farther and farther away as I was dragged away. I fought for every step, every inch. My mind was getting fuzzy, I could barely remember why I couldn't leave. All I knew is that I had lost my Love, and to get her back I had to stay here. I could feel darkness coating my mind in sleep. I saw a single bloody tear roll down Zelda's face. I took a leap towards the mirror with a despereate cry I fell to the ground.

The moment I stepped out of the mirror I heard the sound of shattering glass. I turned, my hair and dress catching up with the fast movement of my body. Glass was flying everywhere, shards were scattering throughout the room. I felt slivers pierce my arms as I covered my face. What had happened? Why Link, I loved you. After all this do you think evil can still come from this realm? You told me you felt at home in the twilight. Now you can never return.

How could you? I shared my deepest fears, my innermost secrets. We defeated Zant, we defeated Ganondorf. The evil is gone. Do you really believe that the twilight realm is so evil, that we are the cause of this. I can't blame you, you wanted what was best for the Light realm. DON'T I AT LEAST DESRVE A GOOD BYE?! Maybe it is just me, maybe he didn't know how to say he did not love me. After all we went through I deserve more respect than this.

We are not evil, we only want peace. Our ancestors did not know what they were dealing with, will you hold that against me? I saved you, I know how every atom in your body moves. I can manipulate your very body structure. Isn't that enough of a bond to at least respect me? The fragments of the mirror settled around the room. I stood and stared at the hole where the mirror once stood. My royal guard was trying to get me out of danger, shouting at me to get out of this room.

The one man I had ever hoped to love had abandoned me. I meant what I said, I wanted to see you again Link. Why would you throw all that we had away? As two nations we had come so far. We accepted you as our hero. We trusted you, I trusted you. My people threw history to the wind and accepted you. It is so hard for us to trust, our lineage is built on mistrust and evil. We have overcome that, and you threw us away like a broken blade.

I sat and stared at the empty circle for hours, simply not comprehending. I was no longer thinking, no longer in pain. I was simply numb, the pain was there but couldn't be felt. I focused on my breathing, the feeling of magic and blood pumping through my veins. As my focus returned I looked at my hands and saw they were dripping blood. I guess I had to go.

"Link, I may not have been good enough for you. We may not have been good enough to be given a chance. I will try to become someone you would trust. You destroyed me today, but I will stay strong for my people. Link I loved you, didn't you know? You showed me that the light realm was not the evil I had been raised to believe it was. You and Zelda showed me so much, taught me how to rule. I will not hate you, but I will never trust you. I will love you but I will never allow myself to. Goodbye, because you deserve that, though I may not." I said in barely a whisper. As I spoke I could taste the salt of my tears.

I looked over the scene once more. I saw a shard of glass lying on the ground below the empty frame. I trudged carefully over the broken glass. I picked up the shard carefully, so as not to cut myself. It fit in my palm, it had an eye shape to it. I could see part of a design etched in the glass, it was a corner of a triangle. Ha. A triangle, the most evil and most pure of shapes. I walked slowly from the room. How did Link Destroy the Mirror, and why did he. could I ever trust him again?

I watched Link as his mind was unraveling before my eyes. He was broken, how could Midna do this to him? Was she worried that her realm could harm ours? Was she worried that light dwellers would hurt her people again? Did she not trust me? I understood now that there was a world on the other side of the mirror.

What really did not make sense is that she implied that she would come back and visit. If this was her plan then why would she create false hope in Link's heart? He loved her, you could see how he worshipped her very being. He loved her even in her imp form. I thought she loved him too, I saw her sly looks of appreciation. She trusted him, but maybe she didn't trust him not to hurt her. She did though, I knew she loved him, when I saved her I got an imprint of her feelings.

Did she simply put her kingdom's health before her own? I would, and I have. Link at least deserved to know that she was leaving. I could see the look on his face, he thought this was personal. He would have lived in the twilight if only to be near her. Would he ever recover?

A heart-wrenching scream filled the room. Link was sobbing on the floor. I ran to his side, lifting him into a sitting position. He held a piece of glass in a death grip. His hands were soaked in blood. Blood was pooling around him. I tugged on his arm trying to get him up. He would bleed to death if someone didn't do something. "LINK!" No response... "Guards, take Link to the healers, NOW!"

Three guards jumped to do my bidding. Link fought them, he punched and kicked. He dove and held tightly to the frame of the mirror with his good hand. After reinforcements arrived The guards finally got him off and were dragging him back. He fought for freedom, even as I saw his eyes dim. He could barely think yet he fought. I saw him starting to fail, as he slipped and fell. He used one last surge of energy to jump towards the mirror, then collapsed. The guards quickly picked up the unconscious body and carried him to a healer.

Link would not let go of the shard of glass, and even unconscious he was strong. The healer needed to dress his wounded hand. The hand that held the mark of the Triforce was bloody and lacerated. I grasped his hand with my left hand, and our Triforces flared to life. The golden light filled the room. I focused on him releasing the shard. I went into his mind and told him he had to let go. He may not care about his life but I did. He slowly released the shard. I grasped it between my middle and index finger.

The Healer rushed in and quickly started to dress the wounds, seal the cuts, and sew the lacerations shut. I returned to my room, shard in hand. I pulled out a vial of sacred spring water and slowly washed the shard. The blood washed off easily, except for the engravings. I saw what was left of the design. it was the Triforce, but a corner of one of the triangles was missing. The shard was a circle with what looked like a crescent chunk missing. To complete the circle the missing shard would have to be in the shape of a large eye. Link's blood stained the grooves deep crimson. No matter how hard I tried I could not get the blood out of those grooves.

I found a leather bag that was the perfect size for the shard. I embroidered what the missing chunk would most likely look like to the outside of the bag. I also added the mark of the Triforce to the bag. I threaded the drawstrings with silver ribbon; the bag was dyed crimson. I placed the shard in the bag, then carried the bag down and placed it next to Link. All I could do was wait and see if Link would be all right, to see if Midna had destroyed all that made him Link.
