Hey guys! So this is my first fanfic I hope you enjoy! Also this takes place after the water temple in twilight princess and is my own version of the events that happen after that. I do not own the legend of Zelda series or any of its characters, that all belongs to Nintendo. Enjoy!

Link tightened his grip on the demon as it thrashed and swam in frantic panic as it squirmed with pain. Vibrations rippled through the water chasm as the water muted the demons cry, it senses dulled as the pain rippled through the beast. The demon was not even aware at the rapidly approaching wall, its cry ceased as it skull rammed the thick stone. A crack raced up the tile as the water seeped through; Link felt the pressure on his body lessen as the water drained from all around him.

He sighed in relief as his muscle relaxed his hold, his exhausted form rolled of the demon as he slammed into the shallow water. He moaned in pain his eyelids drooping 'just a quick rest' he thought as his vision blurred. The demon behind him burst into twilight matter as it came together forming the last fused shadow. Midna giggled with glee as she escaped the hero's shadow and collected the final piece. "We did it! I can… Link?" she hadn't even noticed the hero's state in all of her excitement.

She concernedly flew over to him, his breath was shaky and his eyes were clenched in pain. His whole body trembled in the shallow water. "Link?" he moaned as his ears twitched at the sound of his name. His eyes weakly opened as his gaze fell on the imp floating above him "Midna?" he asked his voice soft and rough. She smiled in relief, but soon regained her worried gaze as the hero hacked and coughed. The force of his coughs sent him to sit up as they relentlessly continued, his hand fumbled through his pouch desperately.

He suddenly felt the rough surface of a cork and quickly clasped it as he pulled out a red potion. His coughs caused his hands to be unsteady as he tried to uncork it, he kept pulling pop. Link raised the potion to his lips and took huge gulps; he didn't even notice the potion pouring down the corner of his mouth. When that last of the potion entered his system he brought the bottle down and breathed heavily, He smiled when he realized his cough was gone. The hero sat there as the warmth of the potion engulfed his system, bring relief to all of his aching muscles and bones.

Midna just stared silently at the hero as she wasn't sure what to say, he seemed better for his coughing stopped. "Are you ok?" she asked her hand reached out for his shoulder, but she stopped herself. 'What am I thinking? It would go right through' she scolded herself; she was nothing but a mere shadow in his world. Link looked up at her and gave her a small smile "Yeah, just a little cough". She rolled her eyes at him "Little cough? You were practically choking!" she huffed "You must be hearing things Midna" he said smiling a little wider.

She sighed in defeat as she knew this would get her nowhere "Come on Wolfy, lets head back" she pointed her finger to the ground as she summoned her magic and formed a portal. Link gave her an irritated glance as he hated her nickname for him; He jumped to his feet and stepped into the portal.

Link opened his eyes when he felt the ground beneath his feet, he smiled as he recognized where he was. He had always loved Lanyru spring it was by far the most unique out of the four springs he had visited, he turned on his heels but froze at he saw. Zant stood in front of him his eerie cry made Links hair stand up, but Link was relived as he also heard the cry of a spirit. Lanyru bursted out of the spring her holy light raining down on the scene. He sent a wave of energy that knocked Link off his feet, and it sent Lanyru crashing back into the wall. Zant to this opportunity and stole the spirits light as twilight descended upon the area. Link laid unconscious as his body shaped to that of a wolf and revealed Midna right beside him.

She glared at him with uncountable rage "Zant!" she hissed, he swiped his hand as he held her up by invisible chains. She struggled but never took her gaze of the demon as he slowly approached the hero "No stop! This between you and me, leave him be" she pleaded "Why do you care for this light dweller? Besides he has proven to be useful to you, which I cannot allow!" He growled as he revealed his mouth from underneath his mask.

He knelt down next to the fallen hero as he reached towards him "No!" Midna screeched as she thrashed and struggled. Zant placed his nimble fingers on the hero's forehead; it burned a white light, and then faded. Midna was speechless, her mind blank but somehow her mouth found words "What did you do to him?" Her voice was nothing more than a whisper. Zant wordlessly stood up and look back up to Midna "I will be taking these" he stated as he forced the fused shadows from Midna. She squirmed as she tried to get them back, but it was too late. Zant laughed as Midna glared at him "That's no way to look at your king"

"You will never be my king" she said coldly as her eyes narrowed. "You may say that now, but just give it time" he swiped his arms once again as he released her from his hold, she landed harshly on the ground. He turn on his heels, but froze "Oh and since you seem to like those light dwellers so much why don't you join them" he returned the stolen light to its spirit and in a flash of twilight he was gone. Midna hurriedly hid in Links shadow before the spirits light could reach her; the light engulfed the hero. As it did Link then disappeared in a burst of light.

Somewhere In Hyrule field

The river flowed to the sound of crickets, as the owls hooted at the moon giving the music of nature a nice ring. Mice hid at the hoots owl, no rustling by the river could be heard. The moon radiated on water, it gleamed as if it were diamonds. A cold wind brushed against the water as it started to ripple; a faint light glowed beside the river. It grew brighter and bigger, the mice scurried and owls flew off into the distance. The crickets hushed there chirping, as the night grew silent. The light twisted and formed as it exploded to reveal a figure that landed with a thud, its body limp from unconscious.

An imp peeled out from the figures shadow as it examined the hero with concern. Midna was nervous to say the least, what had Zant done to Link? What if-f he was dead? She shook her head in denial as the hero's chest rose and fell.

She closed her eyes in concentration as she focused on her rapidly beating heart 'stay clam' she told herself. "mmh" a voice mumbled, she snapped open her eyes as she looked down to see the hero stirring. She sighed in relief, but she froze at the sight of the hero's hand. The Triforce glowed golden through his gloves; it slightly faded in and out with each breath. There was only one time in which she had seen it glow, but it never acted like this. She gazed back up though as Links eyes fluttered open, and yet again she was stunned.

His eyes had always been an icy blue, they were fierce and tired. Now his eyes practical glowed they were so blue, all they showed was innocence. She just floated there as she gaped at him, her mind blank. Link groaned as he gently sat himself up, he blinked a couple times as his gaze fell upon the imp in front of him. "Oh hello" Link said as he examined her wearily 'what's wrong with him he's acting like he doesn't even know me!' she thought as she was frozen with shock. "L-Link are you ok?" He gave her a blank look as he replied

"who?"
