From the top of an high tower lost in the Forest, lived a powerful Witch, who was tasked by the goddesses to watch over their chosen ones, The Soul of the Hero, the Reincarnation of the Goddess Hylia, and the Incarnation of Hatred reborn.
With a watchful eye, she saw the Eras and the Timelines pass one after the other, an infinite cycle was repeating itself again, and again, and again, The Hero saving the Princess and banishing the Demon King, each timeline had its variation, but it would never truly end, always repeating after a few hundred years and generations have passed.
But her job was indeed to watch those timeline, her only reason to exist was making sure that nothing would happen to those reincarnations, but just as a new cycle started ... Something unexpected happened ... Something that fell out of the Sorceress's Vision, and changed that timeline forever; an unexpected effect of Dimension Traveling ... An exchange of Souls from two totally different creature, living in two very different Realms ...
"Ah isn't it ironic, this situation seems all too familiar doesn't it ? One of us sitting in this very throne, while the other bows before them ... Except this time the roles are reversed Princess ..."
Zant was really enjoying his moment of triunph, after years of serving the Royal Family, he was refused his rightful throne, but he knew ! He knew that the gods could not close their eyes before such an injustice, that is the reason why one of them gave him the power to take what was his !
"You will ... Never be ... A King, Zant ..."
His smirk was quick to disappear when he heard that voice ... Oh how much he hated that person, even in her final moments of defeat, she HAD to ruin his life !
"Oh-Ho, but tell me then, Midna." He said venomously "Who of us is sitting on this Throne ? Tell me, who is the one beat to near death KNEELING BEFORE ME ?!"
The Princess, even beaten as she was, managed to let out a painful laugh. "Hahaha, Zant ... You could sit an Imp down on that throne, and it wouldn't make it any less ridiculous."
"You INSOLENT PEST !" With a Swing of his arm, the nearly unconscious body of the Princess was sent a few meters away on the wall of this room
Suddenly, Zant's angry stare 'became a light smile, which soon morphed into a long and loud laugh, he composed himself himself quickly, though, and a soft smile rested on his lips, "An Imp you say Princess ? Yes, that would be a suitable form for such a pest. The idea of your impudent person sitting on this Throne does sound extremely ridiculous and laughable after all !"
Even through her pain, Midna could hear Zant's retort, her pained expression became one of fear as she saw an energy blastsent right at her, through her robes, and started making changes to her body, transforming it to a smaller, more hideous form. Her heart raced as she looked down, horrified, upon her own, smaller, hands. She heard Zant's mocking laughter in the background.
"Hahahahahaha, that is indeed form that suits you perfectly, Princess! Oh ... But you're not a Princess anymore, are you ?" His laughter went on for several minutes, as the newly-transformed Imp tried to calm herself.
"Very well, it has been a pleasure to humiliate you like that, Imp, but I had my own share of laughs, and have a million better things to do than annoying myself with your miserable person. So Long, Ex-Princess Midna !" With those Words spoken, and with a wave of his arm, he sent one final blast at Midna
Mustering her last forces, and calling help to her Family Heirloom, the Fused Shadow, she managed to teleport herself just in time to escape the blast. The Fused Shadow was a fragment of their ancestors's magics, sealed away with them in this "Twilight Realm", it was a forbidden magic, even for their people, an eternal reminder of the sins of their ancestors
With it she teleported herself to a safe room, one that even Zant did not know the existance off, a room where throned the "Mirror of Twilight", a gateaway to the Light Realm left by the Godesses after the banishement of their people, it was supposed to be pitch black and useless, but a few days before this incident, it started glowing of certains incrisptions, while it was never reported before to act like this, it didn't take long enough for the Royal Family to understand, it had been activated from the other side...
Midna did not have any time to mourn of her defeat, or even of her hideous transformation, with a flick of an hand, she summoned this Fused Shadow Piece, looking at it, she realised that she had no choice, Zant gained access to some unknown power suddenly, which came exactly after the Mirror activated itself, it wasn't a coincidence ... Something gave him those powers from there, and she had no choice but to use this forbiden magic to come to term with him
'If this Light Realm got me into this mess ... They are gonna get me out of it !' With this resolute, and hateful thought, the Imp putted on the Fused Shadow, now fitting exactly with the size of her new head, and headed down into the Light Realm using the Mirror...
But ... Something unforseen by her happened in that moment ... Inter-Dimensional travel like she attempted had it's risk, and one of those showed up when her soul, and the one of a young girl from another dimension, got interchanged while she was traveling ... This would have a lasting impact on this era, something that no one could have ever predicted happened, and it was just the beginning of this immense Butterfly Effect ...
From the other side of the Mirror, in the Arbiter's Ground, a morbid execution site in the middle of the Gerudo Dessert, emerged the incouscious body of a transformed Imp, the magic of her new Helmet seemlingly healed her in her travel, but while it was at the time unknow, the host and soul of that body were not the same as before
After a few minute, her body start to slowly get out of it's slumber, while the Hot Sun of the Gerudo Desert strike outside
'Urgh ... Day already ? Damn, feel like I slept for days' The girl thought to herself while slowly reaching for her non-existant phone
'What the ... Where the heck is my phone ?'
She slowly open her eyes, to be met with an unfamilar place, and a strangely familiar body "What the ?!"
Suddenly awake from the shock, she just stare at this strange hand "Okay so ... Why the heck is my hand black ... And glowing blue ... And Small ?! I definitly don't remember going to bed with that !" Yelling to herself trying to make sense of whatever is happening to her
She slowly get her small body up, while trying to keep balance in a body she is definitly not used too "Why am I so Small ?! Wait ... Grey and Black body ... Glowing runes on the legs and arms ... Why does this ..." She notice exactly what is in front of her, an item that she never saw herself, but was incredibly familiar with
"What ... The ... Fuck ... IS THAT THE FREACKING TWILIGHT MIRROR ?!" She yell with so much force, trying to convince herself of what she was seing
"Wait, wait, wait, this body ... This mirror ... Am I ..." She reach for her head, half expecting to have her hand meeting a Helmet of some sort, and half hoping that it wasn't the case
When she does feel the rocky feeling of what she is wearing, she stare at her hand in disbelief "... I knew it ... I ... What the hell happened to me ... Why the hell am I Midna all of a sudden ?!"
'Alright, alright, calm yourself down and think, for some reasons, you suddenly wake up as Midna, if the pain I have everywhere is any indication, I'm not dreaming ... Why am I here ... Where am I here actually ?' Thinking to herself, she look around while having a foggy memory of what the game area should look like compared to real life
"Wait ... The mirror, it's only ever been in two places ... And this sure as hell don't look like the Twilight Realm ... So that must be ..." She turn around, staring at the endless desert behind her "... Gerudo Desert ..."
'Let's not freak out, let's not freak out ... HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO NOT FREAK OUT GOD ! Or ... Goddesses I suppose ? Argh ! Not the time to think about that ! I'm freacking Midna, lost in a world that I know only through a TV, and I have no idea what I'm even supposed to do !' Walking back and forth while thinking hardly about all of that, she's slowly getting used to her smaller body, while thinking it out
'Alright ... The Mirror of Twilight is not destroyed, so that means I'm either after Link collected them, or before Zant destroyed it, but by the lack of Green Clothed Hero around here, I think it's more option B ... We aren't in the Twilight yet so ... That means that Zant didn't launch his Shadow Beasts there yet ... Can I stop them ? ... I don't even know how to run with this body ! How am I supposed to kill Beasts that are twice my size !'
An idea suddenly hit her ... "Maybe ... Maybe I could get to Zelda ... Before all of that happen ... The Hyrule Army may have been powerless due to how ill prepared they were, but maybe that if they are warned before-hand ..."
'Then again ... Those soliders weren't brave enough to attack a lone Wolf in the middle of the most populated town of Hyrule, or escort Lars to Kakariko ... I don't know what they would do if told that giant beasts capable of transforming them into other beasts would come attack them ... But Zelda could figur something out ... Triforce of Wisdom might be useful for something ...'
With a resolute expression, she start walking toward the edge, then suddenly realise ... "Um ... Which way is Hyrule Castle already ?"
In another dimension, in a village of farmer, a Young Girl clothed in Green suddenly sneazed
"Eh ? Someone must be in need of my help ! It's my duty as a Legendary Hero to help them !" She exclaimed before running of to the near forest and getting herself lost there for multiple hours ...
