Her Heart is a Fortress


"Armor; you use your heart as a fortress.

Ticking bombs; all the weapons are useless…"


Fire crackled, faces glowed. Light and Dark were next to one another. They lay in the grassy plains of Hyrule Field, their eyes meeting with they ancient skies blessed with glowing stars.

Midna pressed her tiny body against Link's, her glowing markings shining onto his face as they looked up.

Link felt her presence closer than before, and looked at her tiny face. Her one red and yellow eye focused on the sky above. Black and white skin marked her nude body, symbolizing her nationality; Twili. Turquoise lit their faces, clashing with the firelight. Midna's vivid hair lay out behind her, untied, laying on Link's cotton shirt.

She was beautiful in every way. No matter what others though of her, he believed that.

"Midna?" His voice called out to her now silent form. Link sat up, staring at the imp's soft face.

"Mm hmm?"

"Can you remove your mask?"

Shocked at her partner's request, Midna went red. Why would he want her to remove the mask?

"Why?"

"Because I want to see you." A pink tinge rose on Link's warm cheeks.

"Whatever…" She grudgingly obliged, lifting the heavy stone headpiece above her, and laying on the ground.

"You happy now, wolf-boy?" She grinned, her infamous tooth greeting Link.

The other half of her small face was just as perfect. Pale, yet dark, and beautiful. Another striking red eye poked from within confinements of pale yellow. More flame-red hair stuck of from the top of her curved head, and met in an odd pattern across her forehead.

"What'chu lookin' at?" Midna had her arms on her curvy hips, staring promptly into Link's searing eyes.

Link smiled and held the curvaceous imp in his muscly arms. A goofy smile slid onto his face, and he grinned down at Midna. She wriggled in his warm grasp.

"Link, you idiot, let me go!" Her hair tangled around his hands, in attempt to free herself, but it didn't do much good.

"Do I have to?" He uttered. Link's soft lips pressed against her forehead gently, and let her wriggle free onto the grass below.

Midna blushed. "What the hell was that for!?" The imp was furious, though a cute smile lay hidden beneath her blanket of rage.

She couldn't get attached to the boy. He may be cute, sure, and everything she had ever hoped for, but once they murdered Zant… she'd leave him. Midna would leave her angel to burn without her.

Midna rebuilt her self, tidying up the mess in her mind, towering the imaginary bricks that made up her heart back together, bringing back whatever was taken from her.

Light and Dark couldn't mix…

Right…?


"So can you just let down your guard, before everything is marred?

Armor; you use your heart as a fortress…"
