Enjoy this story :) i haven't seen any pairings of Zant and Link so i decided to do one :3 i thought it would be neat and this is after the Ganon battle so Zant isn't in his control :3

Disclaimer: DON'T OWN ZELDA

I don't own Eliza either

-=-Zant's Pov-=-

I know I shouldn't be here. I know I should be in the twilight realm but…I couldn't tell Midna this but I have a crush on the Hero. I keep up the act of being the enemy to hide the embarrassment. I sit in the tree I usually sit in and spy on Link. I don't like getting caught but he doesn't usually catch me. It's his friend that does more than him. Whenever Eliza comes over to visit the town she always spots me. I blame her twili side because she can sense me and I hate it. I watch as Link relaxes in the grass with the goats and I don't blame him. This area is peaceful and I quite like it. I see his friend and I growl softly. I know she is going to spot me again and she does. I teleport away before she can tell Link she saw me.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

I walk over to Link and I sense/see Zant in the tree. He teleports away before I could really say anything. I walk over to Link and sit beside him.

-=-Link's Pov-=-

"Hey Eliza how have you been? It's been a while." I say noticing her lying next to me. I watch the sky and the clouds in wonder.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

"It has... I've been great, just busy. How about you?" I look over to him and back up to the sky.

-=-Link's Pov-=-

"I've been better…Eliza…No…you wouldn't understand never mind" I say dismissing what I was going to ask. I watch the sky then close my eyes and think for a bit.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

"I might! Besides you know you can tell me anything. I won't judge." I look at him to see him resting with his eyes closed and I look back at the clouds.

-=-Link's Pov-=-

I sigh "Eliza…if…if you were in love with someone…but they were a twili…and you were afraid about what your friends would think…what would you do?" I say and I hope that she doesn't hate me.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

"I'd go for it! I mean I'm half-Twili so it had to work out at some point!" I look at him trying to reassure him that it's okay.

-=-Link's Pov-=-

"But…what if they were the enemy as well…what would you do then? Everyone would probably hate me or I would become an outcast or worse…" I say and I sit up and bury my face in my legs. I knew I was worrying too much but I couldn't help it.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

"I say that if you truly love the person, then it shouldn't matter. Besides, not everyone would hate you. I'll still be here." I wrap an arm around him to comfort and reassure him.

-=-Link's Pov-=-

I relax and I sigh "Please don't tell Princess Zelda because if word got to her…I don't know what kind of trouble I may be in." I say nervous. "Um…can you keep a secret…I want to tell you who it is but…I want you to promise you won't tell"

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

"My lips are sealed!" I say pretending to zip my mouth closed and lock it.

-=-Link's Pov-=-

I chuckle when she does that and I sigh. "I'm in love with Zant…you know the one who is a traitor to Midna…and the one who helped Ganon to take over Hyrule as well but…I saw something more in his eyes…when Midna said he had a hunger for power in his eyes…I didn't see that…I saw a hunger sure but not for power…I think it was for friends…to be treated equal…but I don't know…and I can't seem to find him anymore so I don't know if he is avoiding me or not…" I say and I sigh and lay back down "Huh?" I say and I stare at the tree and I watch the tree and then I see eyes that I recognize and then they vanish.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

I nod and then wonder if he knows that Zant was spying on him again before I arrived. Link lies back down but reacts shocked. I sense Zant in the tree nearby and wonder how long he's been listening...

-=-Link's Pov-=-

I'm confused but I dismiss it and I close my eyes again and relax. I sigh and I open my eyes to watch the sky only to find Eliza above me. "Hi" I say while chuckling. I hear Fado call me and tell me I need to herd the goats again. I look at Eliza "can you call your horse? I need some help because the amount of goats here has grown and they keep ramming into Epona" I say as I get up and call Epona.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

I pull out the whistle and call my horse. When she arrives, I get on her and start helping Link herd the goats.

-=-Link's Pov-=-

I yelp as Epona gets rammed again and I fall off. I growl but the goat runs over me and my vision gets fuzzy. I sit up and I look to my right to see the same goat charging at me but Epona suddenly blocks it. I get up and back on Epona quickly and I herd the damn goat in. We finish up and Eliza asks if I'm ok and I nod "I'm fine I could have been worse had Epona not blocked the goat's second charge." I say and she relaxes. I see something out of the corner of my eye and I look to see eyes again and they vanish. We ride our horses back to Ordon and I say hi to the mayor and we get to my house. I go let Epona rest and I tell Eliza bye and then go in my house only to spot eyes to my left and they vanish again.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

We ride back to Ordon and say hi to the mayor. We get to Link's house and he says goodbye and goes inside. I decide to rest at Ordon Spring before going back to my house.

-=-Zant's Pov-=-

I watch as Eliza leaves and I sigh silently. Now I can finally watch Link without getting caught easily. I watch him as he makes dinner and he sits alone and eats. I wonder why he is alone. He doesn't even share the house with anyone. I watch from above but suddenly I fall off and I yelp. I crash to the floor causing Link to spin around and see me. 'Shit…' I think as I hold my head. I hit my head when I fell and my vision is fuzzy. I hear footsteps and I know I'm in trouble. "Why are you in my house Zant?" he says and I sit up. I don't answer because I'm not sure how to answer. I get up and I just watch him. He smiles and he lets me sit down at the table and talk to him for a while before I hear a knock and I look at the door and I teleport away.

-=-Link's Pov-=-

I go to the door and see Eliza with a panicked look and she doesn't have her horse. She is covered in cuts and I can tell something is wrong.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

I knock on Link's door panicking. He opens the door and I can tell he knows something's wrong. I start trying to explain what happened.

-=-Link's Pov-=-

I listen to what she says and I groan. I go grab my Master Sword and shield and my gear. A group of Darknuts had taken her horse and she barely made it out with the few scratches she has. I walk outside and ask her where they went and when she tells me I get on Epona and ride off to go grab her horse.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

Link goes off to get my horse and I focus on healing the major cuts. I also make sure some of the smaller ones which would heal quickly don't get infected.

-=-Link's Pov-=-

I pant as I finally fight the last one. I ride her horse back and I'm wounded badly. Epona, Eliza's horse and I finally make it back but I'm dizzy from blood loss and I had used all my fairies and potions during the battle. Eliza sees me but I fall out of the saddle and black out from losing too much blood.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

I see Link and that he's badly injured from the fight. He then falls out of the saddle and passes out. I instinctively freeze his fall and levitate him into his house. I root through my bag and see that I have a blood replenishing potion which I pour into his mouth, rubbing his throat to make him swallow. I start healing the other injuries that I can see with my magic.

-=-Zant's Pov-=-

I watch from where Link's window is as Eliza heals him and I'm a bit worried for him. Suddenly Eliza looks up and spots me but I don't leave. I'm way too worried for Link so I stay and watch her work.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

I look up and spot Zant and I half-smile at him before continuing to heal Link. I can sense that he stayed but I don't mind him here.

-=-Zant's Pov-=-

I notice something in his skin where there is a deep cut that is glowing and I climb down and Eliza looks at me in confusion. I move her out of the way and I carefully grab the object but I find it's much bigger than I thought and I make magic to teleport it out. I see it's the shard that I had used to turn Link into a wolf…but why was it in him? Eliza finishes healing him and I use magic to scan the crystal and I find out because Midna ditched the crystal it went into Link but became dormant and the battle exposed it so we could find it.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

I finish healing Link and I look at the shard that Zant teleported out of him. I remember Link mentioning the shard that allowed him to turn into a wolf and figure that this must be it.

-=-Zant's Pov-=-

I scan the shard more and find out that Link gets turned into a wolf on the full moon and I wonder if he remembers that or if he is asleep during when it happens but now with the crystal out it won't happen. I sigh "Crystals like this don't become dormant for no reason…someone or something must have messed with it before it got in him…" I mutter but Eliza hears. I tap the crystal and it glows to its regular colors and I smile "Well now it's no longer dormant" I mutter and I put the crystal on a necklace and I put it on the table.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

I hear Zant mutter about how the crystal wouldn't have become dormant on its own and I'm curious. He taps the crystal and it glows which means it's no longer dormant. He puts it on a necklace and sets it on the table.

-=-Colin's Pov-=-

I walk to Link's house and climb the ladder. I open the door quietly and I peek in to see Link on his bed and Eliza next to him but when I look to Link's dining room I gasp as I see a Twili. The twili looks at me and vanishes. Eliza looks at me and I feel like I shouldn't have seen him. I walk in and see Link's clothes "Is Link alright? Ilia said she saw him come home wounded so I came to see if he was alright" I say and Eliza smiles.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

Suddenly Zant leaves and I look up and see Colin. I smile at him and tell him that Link will be alright.

-=-Colin's Pov-=-
I sigh in relief but then I get curious "Who was the Twili that was in the dining room?" I ask and hope that I don't get in trouble for seeing him. I watch her and I can tell she is thinking on whether or not she should tell me "You don't have to tell me if you don't want" I say.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

I don't know whether Zant would want me revealing it was him or not. I say that I'll tell him as long as he keeps it a secret.

-=-Colin's Pov-=-

I smile and nod "I'll keep it a secret and this isn't the first I've kept. Link had turned into a wolf and I saw and I've kept that secret still so I'll keep this one don't worry" I say proud that I can keep secrets.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

I just smile and I tell him that it was Zant. I'm curious as to how much of Link's journey he has knowledge of.

-=-Colin's Pov-=-

My eyes widen at the name and I start giggling. Eliza looks at me in confusion but I can't help it. I calm down after a bit "Really? That was Zant? Well I heard Link talking to himself about falling in love for a Twili named Zant and I've kept the secret so this is practically the same thing" I say and she looks at me in shock but I start giggling again and she rolls her eyes. I hear a sound behind me and I look behind me to see Zant and I smile at him and he goes and sits at the table and I look at him and he looks cool "Link mentioned that you had a weird helmet…but I don't see it" I say and he looks at me. I hear a click and suddenly a helmet forms around his head and then fold back. "Well that answers that question…what else can you do?" I say being really curious. I hear Eliza giggle and I ignore her. Zant chuckles and says maybe one day if I ever want to he can train me and I get hyper at that and he laughs.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

I giggle at how hyper and curious Colin is. Especially with how hyper he gets when Zant offers to train him.

-=-Zant's Pov-=-

The boy sits on a chair next to me and we start talking about blades, shields and other weapons and how we fight and I tell about me and Link's fight and he just watches in amazement and I go on and on because of how many stages there were to my fight and he giggles at the funny bit I noticed like Link shrieking when he was suddenly slipping on ice and many other things. Neither one of us noticed Link was awake but Eliza did and me and the boy just kept talking and I showed him the blades I use to fight and he watches in wonder at the patterns on the blades.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

I smile as I listen to their discussion until I notice that Link is awake. I walk over to him and smile at him, "How're you feeling?"

-=-Link's Pov-=-

I sigh "I feel fine…" I pause as I notice Colin and Zant chatting like their friends and I get up and look at my clothes and I go change. When I come back I have my blood covered clothes and I put them in a basket to wash them later. I see Zant and Colin still chatting away and I just want in complete confusion.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

I see that Link is confused why they're talking like best friends. I merely mention that Zant offered to train Colin and that they were talking about fighting techniques.

-=-Zant's Pov-=-

I feel something else in the room and I look around. Suddenly a deity that looks kinda like me appears and grabs the boy. I growl and draw my blades but he shoves something in the boy's head and he gets dropped. I watch in horror as the young boy turns into a wolf pup and I growl and I leap at the deity and keep slashing at him. He vanishes and I growl frustrated. I put my blades away and look at the once boy now a wolf pup and he nuzzles my legs while trying to figure out how to walk as a wolf. I pick him up and he whimpers. I feel so bad that this happened but I know how to help. I bring him outside and set him down. He looks at me in confusion and I have him follow me. Link and Eliza follow me as well and we go in Faron.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

Link and I follow Zant and we go into Faron. I'm curious about what Zant is going to do about Colin being a wolf pup.

-=-Zant's Pov-=-

We get to the forest temple and the bird starts squawking at me to buy stuff but I say I do not need anything and it shuts up. I see the spot where I know Link went to get the Master Sword but there is a different blade I'm after. I float over to where I need the boy to jump and he understands. I guess he saw Link do this and he follows me to the other side of the gap. After getting him across I tell him to wait and I teleport to Link. I slip the necklace I took with me on him and he turns into a wolf. Eliza uses magic to float and I teleport to where the boy is while she help's Link across. We make it in the Lost Woods and we see a golden wolf. By this time Link took off the necklace and is following on foot. We follow the golden wolf and we make it to where the Master Sword rested but I smirk. I go past the spot and I create a blade and shove it in the ground. Suddenly the ground shakes and a temple entrance appears. The boy comes next to me and we enter the temple.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

We follow the golden wolf and Zant creates a sword and shoves it into the ground. The ground shakes and a temple appears. I watch in awe and we enter the temple.

-=-Colin's Pov-=-

I follow Zant and I'm really close behind him. We get to a room where there is what looks to be the Master Sword but is different. Zant tells me it's safe to go near and I slowly walk close to it. I get within a foot and it starts to throw me back. I growl and I stay near it and roar. I flash and I pull out the blade. I look at the blade and I see a mark appear on my hand. It's the triforce but…only the middle piece is glowing. Zant walks over to me and notices and is a bit confused. Link and Eliza come over and are shocked but then I hear a faint whisper and I look around and I see red eyes in the corner of the room. I freeze when I see them and I hear a giggle "Don't be scared I won't hurt you" He says and when he comes out of the shadows I look in shock that it's a shadow version of me. He has the same blade I just drew but odd armor. He has silver, almost black hair and has claw like hands. He is the same size as me if not smaller. He comes close to me and I back up a bit but he chuckles "Like I said I won't hurt you" He says and I relax slightly. He says I am the Shadow Hero of this land and that because the evil has started sooner than expected I had to be awakened at a young age. He also mentions I have Twili Armor that will protect me from the twilight and any twilight based attacks. We head back up and me and my shadow are chatting about what to do and he tells me more about my duty as the Shadow Hero and I sigh. This is going to be a long journey from the sound of it.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

I'm shocked that the middle part of the Triforce is glowing on his hand. I'd never heard of a fourth part to the Triforce...

-=-Link's Pov-=-

I get frustrated "Alright what is all of this about? What do you mean he is the Shadow Hero? What is the Shadow Hero?! No Shadow Hero is mentioned in any history books I've read! So why should I let him risk his life just because he has to do this alone?" I say and the shadow sighs "I knew you would argue…Hey Dark I think your little friend here needs some help" He says and I get tugged away from the group and I look to see my shadow and he starts explaining stuff to me but I still don't understand why I can't go with him.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

I notice that Link is still confused as to why he can't go with Colin. I remind him that he basically had to do his adventure on his own, so it makes sense that Colin would have to do the same.

-=-Link's Pov-=-

I growl "Still I have no idea what he has to do because I've never heard of a Shadow Hero before! Colin is like a brother to me so I feel like I should go with him!" I argue and I'm getting mad at this point but its more confusion than anger. Shadow Colin sighs "Your Master Sword wouldn't hurt any of the evil this land now has because yours gets rid of only evil but what if that evil was both good and bad? Your blade would hurt them sure but the Shadow Master Sword Colin has will kill them easily. You had Midna to help you but don't worry because he will have a partner but it isn't you." He says and I sigh "Who is his partner?" I ask and he smiles. I hear a familiar giggle and I see Shadow Midna come out of Colin's shadow and I roll my eyes. Colin and Shadow Midna talk and Colin's shadow as well but my shadow comes and tells me that I've got a part in this war as well so I don't have to worry I will join Colin but not now but later and I sigh. We all head to my house and Zant says he is heading home. So do the shadows and Shadow Midna slips into Colin's shadow. I see Rusl and I groan. I knew we would have to explain everything to him and I look at Eliza for help so she can help me explain and she smiles.

-=-Elisa's Pov-=-

I see Link look to me to help explain and I smile. I begin explaining what had happened to Rusl with Link helping every once in a while.

-=-Colin's Pov-=-

I see my dad give a look to Link and Eliza and he says he will not allow this and he tries to grab me but me left hand flashes. He looks at my hand in shock as the middle piece glows and I look at my dad "You have to let me do this. I will have Link help me prepare today and tomorrow I'll be leaving." I say and I have Link walk with me to town to get the stuff I need for a journey and my dad just watches me in shock.

-=-Rusl's Pov-=-

I can't believe that my own son has a fate of his own. I didn't believe them till I saw the mark on Colin's hand light up but…I feel worried.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

I notice that Rusl looks worried for Colin and I remind him that he'll have Shadow Midna with him and that Link will join him later on.

-=-Rusl's Pov-=-

I sigh "I know it's just…as a father for both Link and Colin…well Colin is mine by blood but Link is adopted…his parents died when he was little but none of us can bear to tell him that but still…Colin is my son and I worry for him…just like how I worried for Link I will worry for Colin…" I say as I watch where they went and I close my eyes "I'm just afraid to lose him…" I say softly.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

I put a hand on his arm to comfort him. It makes me feel bad seeing him this upset... "I understand. I felt the same way during Link's journey...I see him as a brother and having to wait for him...I was so worried."

-=-Rusl's Pov-=-

I smile at hearing her say that and I sigh. I look at her "Is…is there anything I can do to help…or at least prepare him?" I say and hope there is something can do to help my son at least a bit.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

"One is to make sure that he knows how much you love him. Link told me that it was always thoughts of his friends and family that helped him continue during some of the harder parts of his journey." I smile at him.

-=-Rusl's Pov-=-

I smile and nod in a response. I suddenly hear a voice "Don't worry I'll keep an eye on him and let you know about his health and if he needs it I'll ask you for potions because I can teleport to him and back." I look behind me to see what looks to be a shadow of Colin and I smile. I sigh "I'm glad you will watch him for me…please make sure he is safe" I say and the shadow nods. He vanishes and I turn around and see Link and Colin with all the supplies he needs with him and he looks at me. Eliza and Link go inside and leave us alone and I tell him that I will miss him and that I love him. He hugs me and then he goes in Link's house and I guess is going to sleep there for the night. I head home to tell Uli about the news.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

I go inside with Link to give Rusl and Colin some privacy to say goodbye.

-=-Colin's Pov-=-

I eat dinner with Link and Eliza and we chat for a bit. After dinner Shadow Midna tells me that when I wake she will tell me where I need to go and I nod and then I go in the bed Eliza made with magic and fall asleep. I didn't notice Link and Eliza stayed up for a bit longer to chat.

-=-Link's Pov-=-

I chuckle as Eliza says she is shocked at the item I gave Colin. I had given him Fairy's Tears, it was a very rare item but I tell her I didn't know when he might need an item like that so I gave it to him because I never used it on my travels so I might as well let him have it. I watch him sleep as I listen to Eliza as she asks a question.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

I nod in understanding and I ask him how he's holding up. I don't want him over-stressing himself...

-=-Link's Pov-=-

I sigh "I'm still worried for him but at least he has a friend with him" I say and I yawn. Eliza chuckles and I huff "well I'm going to bed…you can stay here if you like…night" I say and I go to bed.

-=-Eliza's Pov-=-

I chuckle even though I'm basically as tired as he is. He goes to bed and I fall asleep pretty much where I am.

-=-Colin's Pov-=-

I wake up early and I see everyone is still asleep but I see Eliza is gone. I go to the table and see warm food and a note "This is for you when you wake –Eliza" I eat the food and gather my stuff and go outside. Shadow Midna comes out and I wait for her to tell me where to go.

-=-Shadow Midna's Pov-=-

"We have to go to the Forest Temple, so let's head to Faron." I say.

-=-Colin's Pov-=-

I nod and I call my horse Amber and I have her take me to the cave. I let her wait there and I fight my way to the temple. I'm kinda scratched up by the time we get there but the armor I have on helps guard me. I enter the temple and I hear a monkey. I see a monkey with a flower and I watch it. I remember Link mentioning a monkey and it motions for me to follow it. I pull out one of the hookshots, Link had given me his gear as well so I could do things easier and he used a bit of magic to make them my size. I follow the monkey and help free other monkeys for hours. I sit and rest and the monkeys look at me. I tell them I'm tired and they nod. They all sit and talk to each other while Shadow Midna talks to me and checks my cuts to make sure they're not infected.

-=-Shadow Midna's Pov-=-

I talk with Colin while looking at the cuts he got, healing the larger ones. Once I'm sure the other cuts are not infected I perch on his shoulder and continue to talk to him.

-=-Colin's Pov-=-

After a bit of rest I decide to keep going. Shadow Midna tells me to sleep but I tell her I at least want to get the temple done but I'll sleep when I get to the boss door. We keep saving more monkeys and they help us to the boss door. Shadow Midna grabs an empty bottle I have from using a potion on the mid-boss and goes to a pot and smashes the pot. A fairy comes out and she catches it in the bottle and I look at her confused.

-=-Shadow Midna's Pov-=-

Colin looks at me shocked when I catch the fairy and I'm curious why Link didn't tell him about them. I explain that fairies have healing magic and that they'll bring you back if your fatally wounded.

-=-Colin's Pov-=-

I smile "I guess Link forgot to tell me that…" I face palm and Midna looks at me confused "If Link had mentioned what they do sooner then we could have caught some before we left because there were a ton at Faron Spring" I say chuckling and I sigh. I take off my shield and Shadow Master Sword off of my back and my belt of gear as well and I lay down "I'm going to sleep before we fight the boss so I have plenty of energy to fight." I say and Shadow Midna nods and I fall asleep.

-=-Shadow Colin's Pov-=-

I appear after Colin falls asleep and I ask S-Midna how he is doing and she says he is fine but low on potions and I grab the empty bottles and I say I'll be right back. I come back later with all of the bottles full of red potion and I hand them to her. She thanks me and puts them back in the pouch Link gave Colin. I say good luck to her and she thanks me and I teleport to Rusl to let him know of Colin.

-=-Shadow Midna's Pov-=-

I thank Shadow Colin and he leaves. I stand watch over Colin while he sleeps just in case one of the enemies comes over to us.

-=-Colin's Pov-=-

I wake up feeling refreshed and I check my stuff and find my potions refilled. I look over and see Shadow Midna had fallen asleep and I sit patiently for her to wake so we both are rested up. She wakes after a bit and I put my gear on. I sigh as I unlock the boss door, with Shadow Midna's help, and I draw my blade and shield. I walk in and the door shuts behind me. I flinch and I look around before moving any further and I slowly move forward. I don't see anything but suddenly I hear a chuckle and I flinch. Suddenly a blinding light is in-front of me and it dies down to show a strange…person? No demon because of his in-human looks. He looks to be around 15 maybe 16 but I'm not sure. He has his back turned to me and he starts talking "Look who it is... I thought that deity i sent would have kept you as a beast for good, yet here you are. Not a beast. Not that you being a beast or not has any consequence. Oh, but listen to me. I'm being positively uncivil. Allow me to introduce myself. I am the Demon Lord who rules over the darkness of this land. You can call me Ghirahim. I very much prefer to be indulged with my full title: Lord Ghirahim. But I'm not fussy. I still will rule over these lands but with you here not as a beast…do you have any idea how this made me feel inside? Furious! Outraged! Sick with anger!" He vanishes in a sea of diamonds which causes me to panic and I look around frantically "This turn of events has left me with a strong appetite for bloodshed." I hear and suddenly his head is over my left shoulder and I'm frozen unable to move. "Still...it hardly seems fair, being of my position, to take all of my anger out on you. Which is why i promise upfront not to murder you... No, I'll just beat you within an inch of your life!" he says and suddenly an unbelievably long tongue comes out and I shriek in surprise and I get away and I look at him panting.

-=-Shadow Midna's Pov-=-

I narrow my eyes once I hear what Ghirahim is saying to Colin. I perch on Colin's shoulder, assessing Ghirahim.

-=-Ghirahim's Pov-=-

I chuckle as I make my cloak vanish and I smirk as I approach him. He watches me carefully but I can see slight confusion when I walk toward him causally with no blade or weapon of any kind. He waves the blade at me and I thought he was going to swing so I held my fingers out to catch it but he flips backward and I sigh in annoyance. I walk towards him like I have all the time in the world and he growls and I chuckle at his display of being strong. He starts to swing at me but suddenly slashes my right side and I cry out in surprise. I quickly teleport and I heal. This happens for a bit before I jump back and lick my lips. I smirk as I snap and summon a blade and point it at him and laugh.

-=-Shadow Midna's Pov-=-

I teleport behind Ghirahim while he's distracted by taunting Colin. I shoot him with a ball of shadow magic, surprising him. I guess he wasn't expecting me to help...

-=-Ghirahim's Pov-=-

I get hit and that allows the boy to attack me. I teleport and I growl. I heal and then summon floating daggers and I send wave after wave of them at him. I hate that shield he has but I know I'm hitting him. I get blasted and I stumble and I get hit with that stupid blade. I snicker and I suddenly grab the blade. I leap away from him, holding the blade and I look at it. I chuckle "This blade isn't at full power…no wonder your barely doing any damage" I say and I watch as the boy runs and I toss the blade but he ducks and then grabs it. We fight a bit more but again I get blasted and the boy manages to hit my face and I stumble backward. I rub my chin and I point my blade at the boy "Well…you put up more of a fight than I would have thought possible out of such a young kid. But don't clap for yourself quite yet. That blade is the only reason you still stand." I say and I look at my blade. I continue "I fear I spent far too long teasing and toying with you. Good-bye, windchild. Run and live this time. Get in my way again though, and your dead." I say and I have my blade above me and I circle it and vanish.
