First of all this is my first story so if you are taking the time to read this then thank you. This idea has bee floating around in my head since well I finished Twilight Princess and I felt the need to put this idea on the site. It will be part of a 3-part trilogy (I'm actually starting in the middle but you will understand this later). So enjoy.
Midna sighed as the historian continued to ask her questions regarding the "Hero of Twilight." She kept on reminding him that his name was Link but he insisted that it would not be right to call someone who had saved the Twilight realm by their first name just as it was improper to call Midna her first name due to her status as the Princess of Twilight.
"So what did Zant say when Link had beaten him in combat exactly?" The historian asked again.
"He called us Traitors, then he started going on about how we would never win because Ganondorf would always bring him back from the dead." Replied Midna.
"Interesting choice of words don't you think?" Mused the Historian.
"What is so interesting about them he felt that I had betrayed him by helping Link so he called me a traitor it's not terribly interesting."
"But he called both of you traitors, Link if anything was justified in his actions since Zant was helping Ganondorf to destroy the world of Light which is where he is from so why call him a traitor as well?"
Was he doing it for his world or for me Midna thought? "Zant was insane you realise so why would you be surprised if he made a mistake when he was ranting on before his death?" Midna replied trying to mask her inner musings.
"Well Princess if you had remembered your history lessons a little better you may understand why this is interesting to me. But don't you remember the story of how we ended up in this world of shadow?" The historian smiled as he finished knowing full well that the Princess had never been taught the full version of the story.
"Of course I do, the ancestors of the Twili tried to take control of the power of the gods and in return the Goddesses banished up to this realm." What does he think I am a Child?
"Yes that is the version that you were taught but that is not the truth of what happened. For you see not all of our ancestors fought against the Goddesses some fought against their own people, would you like to hear of their story?"
Yes I know it was short but I just wanted to ask a question, how do you think I should shorten the dialogue in future stories when people are talking back and forth. Since I don't want to end up writing "insert name" "insert another name for spoke/replied" at the start of end of every piece of dialogue.
