A/N Hello, readers. I rewrote my story and deleted the other one because frankly, it had nothing to do with the story. So anyways, I remade my story and started it off in the Twilight Palace. Please leave a review, it helps me look over what I did and fix it.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Legend of Zelda
Chapter 1: The Stranger
1 month after the breakage of the twilight mirror
Midna's POV
"But Princess! I LOV—" *SMACK* Right in the face. I could barely contain my laughter. I hate him too much. But I'm still not that mean, I thought. I sighed and locked the door in case if my "husband" was actually smart enough to open the door. That made me giggle, but I can still hear the "king" behind the door breathing heavily. Creep, I thought.
"Princess? Oh PRRRIIINNNCEEESS!" he yelled to the top of his lungs.
"Shut up, and go away!" I yelled back, "And don't come back!"
"Well, excuuuuuuuuuse me princess," he answered walking away from the door.
"And stop doing that! IT ANNOYS ME!" I shouted. I knew he was going to come back, since he calls these little conversations "small fights." He still doesn't understand, I thought, it's not that I like him. It's just he's annoying as hell! I sighed and fell onto my bed. I haven't slept in days due to the conspiracy and it was difficult to rest with noises made all the time. All I want to do today is sit back and relax. No public speakings, no giving out advice, not helping out with anything. But that would never happen.
After Zant's small reign, the Twilight Realm was starting to rebuild itself. But there were still chaos around the realm. Some of the twili that were under Zant's indoctrination were starting to believe that he was still their master, even though he was dead. It always pained me to see innocent lives destroyed. I tried to sleep again, but the adventure between me and Link kept popping up.
"Princess," a voice asked.
"Oh what the hell. What now?" I said opening the door annoyed with what has happened today. Yet when I opened the door, it was my friend, Veerle, who was right in my face.
"Princess, is everything alright?" he asked with a worried tone in his voice.
"Uh… yeah. Yes, everything is fine. It's just I thought you were—"
"Your husband? Rytoche? Yeah right. I'm way better looking than him," he said smiling.
"Oh stop it. He's not my husband yet," I laughed and gave him a small punch. I stared at him for a moment at his pale skin and red eyes. I noticed he was actually dressed up in fancy royal clothing and holding a plate of food for breakfast.
"May I ask, Veerle. Why are you dressed up?" I asked, stopping the moment.
"Well Princess, I'm going to the ball," he said proudly.
"Ball? Why wasn't I invited?" I started, my temper getting to me.
"Well… Um Princess you see that…um…"
"It's alright, I get it. I'm too royal and I have more important stuff to do. And yada yada. You can just leave the food over there," I said pointing to the table next my bed.
"You know Princess, if you don't like him," he started setting the food on the table, "Why don't you just humiliate him in public. Like how you humiliated that one twili since he called you a—"
"Ok, I get it," I smirked remembering how I accidentally got him into the infirmary by shooting too many energy blasts at him.
"You may leave now," I said. He took a bow, and left me to silence. I looked at the food in disgust. I had become so used to the Hylian food that I was sick of my own kingdoms food. I ate the food in disgust and what's weird is, it made me think of the light world. I now really wish I hadn't shattered the mirror! I thought trying to swallow the food.
(FLASHBACK)
"Well, the princess spoke truly. As long as that mirror's around, we could meet again," I said knowing that was lie. I looked and saw Link smiling, knowing that we could meet again. But that would never happen.
"Link…" I said letting a tear float of my face. Damn, I thought, I can't believe I'm going to do this.
"I…" I continued, but stopped to think of what I was about to say.
"… See u later," I pushed the tear toward the mirror. I could actually see him later. Just drop my hand and let the tear fall to the ground. That would be much better, but I don't want another insane person invade both our realms.
*Crack*
Oh, shit. Why did I just do that? I thought. I ran up the magical stairs waiting for the mirror to take me home. I looked back one more time, knowing that I could just forget the Twilight Realm and be with Link. But we would never work. Would we? Link and Zelda looked perfect together. Me and Link... No it wouldn't work out. Before forgetting I almost destroyed the mirror, it slowly sent me to my realm, and before I was entirely gone, I looked at Link. He looked surprised, knowing I did this to save both realms from destruction. But I know we can never be together now. Soon I was gone from the light realm, and into my kingdom.
I found myself back in the Twilight Realm, and that he was not there anymore. Ever…
(REALITY)
I found myself on the bed soaked from me crying. Life sucks! I said out loud, knowing that no one was listening. (Well, unless my soon-to-be-husband came near the door.) Coming up to the door, I put my ear to the door trying to hear if anyone was behind it. No breathing, no sounds of footsteps. Good, just how I like it.
"Ow, my head…" a voice spoke behind me. I whirled around, finding an orange portal on my ceiling and a stranger with a black hood on the floor.
"Who are you and how did you get in here?" I asked starting up an energy charge.
"Give *pant* me a *pant* second," the stranger groaned. Once he stood up and stopped panting, he asked, "What's your question, your highness?"
"Who are you and how did you get here?" I asked once again growing impatient.
"Well well, you're impatient aren't you," he grinned. He took off the hood, and what I saw was something weird. He looked somewhat looked like Link, but wasn't Link. He had orange eyes, as if he was a twili. And his hair was a light brown. Yet his clothes were easily different from the familiar green tunic. It was more of a black chainmail cuirass with brown leggings and leather boots and gauntlets. Who are you? I thought, starting to get very curious of the intruder in my bedroom.
"Now, to answer your question. I'm Luke." He extended his hand.
I just stared at him, still in shock of how much he looked similarly like Link.
"What? Don't tell me the princess doesn't know how to shake hands," he laughed extending his hand even more.
"Please call me Midna," I stated shaking his hand.
"Ok, Midna. Now before you ask more questions about me. Let me ask you one," he stopped to pace around the room.
"What's your question?" I asked growing impatient of him.
He stopped, "Do you want to see Link again?"
What the hell, how does he know about Link? And how does he know I miss Link?
"I know a lot of things," he said giggling.
I looked at him horrified. Not because he looked almost like Link, but because he could read minds? This is going to be hard. How am I supposed to figure him out if he can listen to what I think? I thought. Looking back at him, he raised his eye brows.
"Do you plan on interrogating me, even though I just appeared into your room and asked an uncomfortable question," he laughed.
"No, because there is no reason to interrogate you when I can ask you in the comfort of my…bedroom. But…um… are you telepathic?" I asked, knowing that was a stupid question.
"No, I can just read minds," he said laughing hysterically and taking a seat on the edge of the bed, "Ok, now you may ask questions about me."
"How did you get in here?"
"Isn't it obvious?" he quipped, "There's just a random portal in your room and you ask me 'How'd you get in here.'"
"Well, I…uh… but… Ah," I miffed, "Fine! Why are you here?"
"Spoilers!" he responded giggling afterwards.
"What? I'm the Twilight Princess, and I demand you answer me!" I insisted getting extremely pissed off now.
"Well you're not my princess," he giggled again.
"What do you mean, 'I'm not your princess?" I asked calming down.
"Ask a different question, maybe it could answer your question," he yawned, as if he was getting bored of the conversation.
"Your pissing me off again!" I murmured out loud. I left out a small sigh, "Are you a light dweller? Because only Link or people with the triforce could walk in this realm. Everyone else would turn to spirits. You even look like a Hylian, but you would have to be either an illusion, my own eyes tricking me, or you're a twili with skin disorder."
"Well I'm neither of those, and I have no disorder, but that's a good question," he started, "My dad was a Hylian, and my mom was a Twili. You could say I'm a Twilian."
Wait, a hybrid? I thought.
"Who was your mother?"
"Spoilers," he replied, yet this time seriously.
"Why do you have to keep doing that?"
"Because I want to, that's why," he lied.
"Come on, if you tell me I could help you look for—"
"That's not why I'm here," he interrupted.
"Well, then why are you here?" I asked, hoping he wouldn't say spoilers again.
"My first mission is to fix the mirror," he said.
That startled me. I destroyed the mirror. Only a true twili ruler could destroy the mirror. It was odd though; the goddesses gave the mirror to the light world, yet only a true dictator could destroy. It always puzzled me that they did that.
"But the mirror was shattered, I made sure of that when I destroyed it," I said starting to become interested in this conversation.
"The mirror is the only way in twilight realm, but you can return to the light realm anytime. Yet there is a catch," he started to explain.
There's always a catch, I thought.
"Yes, yes there is. Anyways, it's a one way trip, and besides the mirror can be fixed. But I'll tell you more of that later. So let me ask you again, do you want to see Link again?"
I looked at him, putting a finger to my chin and thoughts just ran through my head.
"Tell you what; I'll let you think on in it, but first. Um… I need a room to sleep. I'm exhausted from opening the portal," he said breaking the small silence.
"Wait, you opened the portal?" I asked surprised.
"Yes, now if you can kindly make a room for me. I'd like to sleep," he lifted his arms up, just like how I did when I was an imp.
"But only sorcerers can conjure portals, and only the best can conjure portals like these," I said looking at the orange portal, "And honestly," I continued, "You look more like a warrior."
"Ah, I'm a battle mage." He explained. He took off his scabbard and shield and threw it onto the ground, but before it hit the ground, it pixalized.
"How'd you do that?"
"What?" he said raising a brow.
"Your equipment, it just vanished?"
"I have an invisible storage place you know…"
"Oh right. Right," I replied, remembering he was part twili.
"Now, about that room…"
"Oh alright, give me a second," I said teleporting away.
When I appeared in the main hall, a servant was right in front of me. I screamed startled by how he was right in front of me. My heart pounding wildly from the shock of her in front of me.
"Princess, how may I assist you," the servant asked with a small grin on her face.
"Do we have any more rooms available?" I asked, getting myself together.
"Princess?" she asked confused, her grin suddenly gone.
"I said, Do we have any more rooms available?" I fumed.
"Y-yes your highness, r-room 27," she shuddered, "M-may I ask why?"
I looked at him raising an eye brow, then smiled, "I have a guest coming, and he has journeyed a long way to be here." It wasn't all a lie, I mean I had a random person appear right in my bedroom!
Her face changed, from the frightened face earlier to a welcoming smile and bowed, "Your Highness." She walked away into the lobby to get the room cleared.
"So, I guess I have a room now."
I turned around startled (again) and found Luke right behind me. My heart was racing again.
"You really like to scare people, do you," I said laughing
"Yes, yes I do," he said also joining in on my laughter. Once we both stopped, I asked curiously, "How did you get here?"
"I know the palace grounds," he stated, "Anyways, I'm going to go sleep now. We'll talk tomorrow, since I know you have more questions." He yawned, then smiled, "Good Night Princess," teleporting away.
I stood there for a few moments, watching his body pixalize into the air. It will take some time for me to get used to him, I thought. Once he was completely gone, I teleported myself back into my room and fell on my bed with a big sigh. This is going to get interesting, I thought.
Soooo, what did you think? I think Luke giggled or laughed a lot. XD Anyways Veerle is Midna's servant/bodyguard. Even Midna needs some protection. If there are any problems with this story, I will make sure to make the next chapter better. Until then...
