Summary: After Ganon is killed Link and Zelda go back to the castle, Link's secret of his wolf transformation gets out. Rumors spread are all over Hyrule. By order of the citizens of Hyrule, Zelda was forced to condemn Link into exile because every day at the hour of twilight Link transforms and loses control. After 7 years of hiding, Link returns, but he is not the same as he once was. Throughout his exile, Link trains himself in the art of magic. He is now able to use his new found powers in both forms, his wolf form and his Hylian form. He is now a shadow wolf. After his appearance changes, he renames himself Nox (Sequel to TP, The Master Sword was never put back in the Sacred Grove, there is a skyward sword character that comes in at some point.)

Chapter 1: The Return

Deep in a Hidden Village, a Hylian stands training with his sword. The man wears a black tunic, dark gray pants, silver chain mail under the tunic,silver boots, silver fingerless gauntlets, his hair is as black as the night, and eyes as red as blood glowing fiercely as he swings his sword, and pale skin. The Sword has a black hilt with a red gem in the winged cross-guard, the silver blade shining in the sun. On the sword's blade is the symbol of the Triforce, around the blade is a red glow. The man also has long nails and fangs like a demon. The name of his sword is called The Dark Master Sword and its also called the Blade of Lights Bane.

"Well that's enough training for a while" said the black haired Hylian

"I have to agree, Nox, you look like you might fall over" said a black Mare as she came trotting over.

The mare's coat was jet black with blood red eyes, red mane and tail, with red "feathers"–long, silky hair on the lower legs.

"Eclipse I'm fine" Nox said smiling

Nox transform into his wolf form, as the shadows cleared, a black wolf with a silver marking

on his head stands were the Hylian was once standing.

"Okay, just be careful when you go to the Castle" Eclipse said as Nox warped outside castle town.

Scene Change: outside castle town

"I heard that Link was seen out around here and I feel like he's watching us" said a guard in gold armor

"Right you are, and my name is Nox now, so get it right" Nox said as he appeared from the shadows

All the guards freeze in fear as the black wolf blends into the shadows again. Nox run's at a guard, fang showing, and his long sharp claws ready as he lunges at the guard. As he gets closer he comes out of the shadows and bites the guard's neck. As the blood goes into Nox's mouth, the guard falls dead to the ground with a loud thump. Nox lunges at the others and they fall dead leaving a lone boy with brown hair, the wolf lunges and pins the boy under his huge paw.

"Now boy, I'm going to keep you alive and warp you to the castle throne room to warn the Princess. If I find you didn't, I will hunt you down and kill you like I should have. Don't make me regret my choice!" the demon wolf said as he warped the boy to the throne room.

Scene Change: At Hyrule Castle

The boy appeared into the throne room to a shocked and confused Princess. The boy was scared stiff and shivering with fear.

"What happened?" the princess asked in a caring tone.

"Link has returned but he goes by the name Nox and he looks different more demonic. He look like legendary shadow wolf" The scared stiff boy said as he continued to shake with fear.

"Shadow Wolf? The only way he could look like that is if he study a lot of magic in the 7 years he's was hiding." Zelda said, sounding like she was scared but hid it well.

"Can we win?" asked the brown haired boy.

"No but I'm going to try to get rid us of that demon" Princess Zelda said as she called all her loyal servants and got some body guards together.

"What do you need us to do?", asked Rusl, a blond haired Man.

"Get all the archers and swordsman together. Link has come back under the name Nox and is planing his revenge as we speak. He appears to be quite powerful with all that magic he has learned", stated Zelda.

All the archers and swordsmen got set up around the castle ready for The Shadow Wolf to come.

"I can't believe Link is back and stronger then ever, and all under the name Nox. I know that Nox means 'Night' in old Hylian, but why did he change his name? It's hard to wrap my head around it" Zelda sighed as she looked out the widow in the Throne Room, guards surrounding her.

Scene Change: back in Hyrule field/on the castle wall

Nox, still in wolf form, runs across the field to the castle. As he comes up to the castle, he stops, seeing all the archers and swordsmen.

"Good job kid! I'll have to make sure I don't kill him in my rage", The Black Wolf thinks smirking.

Nox keeps running and lets out a barking roar, scaring the Archers and Swordsmen. The archers fire their arrows at the wolf, who is standing still. Then Nox cast a protection spell making the arrows stick to his fur and not hurting one bit.

The Archers cry out in surprise as the arrows did nothing to the wolf as he lunges at the nearest archer, sinking his long fangs into the archers neck as blood flies everywhere, the body falls off the wall and lands with a thunk on to the ground.

Nox jumps over the weapons and over the guards and keeps heading to the throne room, and to the Princess. Some Hylian's throw their swords but the protection spell was still up so the sword just got stuck to the fur, as Nox got into the Castle and jumping or killing anyone who got in the way, he shook all the arrows and swords out of his fur and they didn't leave a mark.

Scene: Throne Room with Zelda

Guards come charging in from all angles shivering in fear of the black wolf with red eyes that they saw.

" We just saw him he jumped over us" said a guard.

"Why didn't you stop him then", Zelda said, half mad.

"The Archers fired but the arrows just stuck to is fur like glue", the same guard said.

As the next guard was about to talk, an explosion of Shadow and Twilight magic blew a guard though the big double doors and across the floor with a sickening thud the guard laid there dead from the impacted.

In the doorway was the feared and dreaded black furred, red eyed demon shadow wolf, Nox, stepping forward as the shadows changed him to his Hylian form. As the shadows left the former hero, Zelda gasped at Nox's look as the shadow Hylian unsheathed the dark master sword ready for battle.

"Zelda, you look like you've seen a ghost", Nox said as he pointed his dark sword's silver blade at The Princess.

Rusl walked up, pointing his sword a the Shadow daring him to try and attack. Nox turned from Zelda and looked at his former mentor with uncontrollable rage and hatred.

"Leave now, Shadow!", Rusl spat the last word like it was a curse.

"My name is Nox! Get it right! You mortals are so stupid and I'm not just a shadow. I am an immortal. After I had studied enough magic to cast an immortal spell on myself, I became the God of Shadows and darkness and I'm not leaving until I get my revenge!", spat Nox enraged.

Nox Lunges at Zelda with the blade pointed forward, he brings the blade down, ready to kill the princess. Before that happens, Rusl jumps in the way with his sword blocking the deadly blow from the dark sword from hurting Zelda. The blades hit each other with a loud CLANG the sound of a blade hitting the other blade made the guards that just ran in the the throne room jump in the air about ten feet as they look at where the battle is taking place.

Rusl pushes his sword against Nox's Sword, pushing the Shadow God back away from Zelda with an enraged growl. Nox jumps away and gets ready to fight his former mentor, Rusl sighs hoping it would not have to come to this as they both charge forward at the same time. The swords met with an even louder CLANG then last time. Nox pushes Rusl's sword out of the way as a portal opens and a female person warps into the throne room. Just as Nox is about to do the finishing blow, Nox stops his sword in mid-swing as he sees who just got here. The Shadow's red eyes widened as he see's a familiar form of the Twilight Princess Midna, his grip on the sword loosens and the dark master sword falls to the ground with a loud CLATTER as it hits the rock hard stone floor.

" WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE?", Midna hissed.

Zelda looked to where Midna is standing, as Rusl, who grabbed his sword not caring that Midna is there. He suddenly lunges at Nox before the shadow Hylian saw it coming. Rusl brought the sword down on Nox's side just as the protection spell wore off. The blade hit with the sound of the blade cutting though the tunic and chain-mail into flesh and the sound of Nox's loud cry of pain. Rusl's sword drips with dark red blood, the force of the lunge sent Nox flying into the air and landed on the his back as the blood from the wound drips off the ripped chain-mail and onto the floor. Nox looked at the wound seeing that the blade cut deeper than he thought.

Midna, hearing Nox's cry of pain, turns around and see's that Nox got badly hurt. She goes over to help, but stops as Rusl says, "Don't go over there!", not trusting the twilit one bit.

"WHY NOT, WHAT IS GOING ON!", Midna yelled enraged at Rusl.

Nox manages to get up and sends a glare at Rusl and Zelda, his red eyes glowing with a fierce blaze. He uses whatever strength he has left to warp as an arrow hits exactly where he was just standing. Then his sword warps soon after. Midna watches Nox warp. After he is gone, the Twilit Princess turns to Zelda for answers.

"Now that he's gone, you will answer my question! NOW!" Midna says, looking at Rusl's bloodied blade and then at Zelda.

"Link was in exile for transforming into a wolf, because he losses control at the hour of Twilight. After 7 years, he came back looking like that shadow you just saw. He renamed himself Nox, which means 'night' in old Hylian" Zelda explained.
