Light and Shadow

Prologue

The fierce battle's duration had exceeded an hour. It was a battle of good and bad. Right and wrong. Sacred and Evil. A battle caused by the greed of the Dark Lord, the same greed that had made him attempt to establish control over the Sacred Realm centuries ago. The Hero of Light had collapsed from exhaustion, while the Dark Lord was sure of his victory and heading towards him ever so slowly with his sword in hand, a holy sword meant for the Dark Lord's death that would now cause the chosen Hero's. The princess of Hyrule was watching terrified, unable to help, after having used up all her magic in a hopeless attempt to shatter the magical barrier. The Hero of Twilight barely managed to stand up, aware that he had absolutely no chances of victory. Suddenly, an image of the Hero's Shade flashed before his eyes, reminding him of the last words he heard from him: "Go, and do not falter my child!" He felt he was disgracing the proud green of the Hero's tunic he was wearing and disappointing everyone who needed him. The Ordonians, the Kakarikos, the Gorons, the Zoras, the Resistance, Zelda, Ilia, all of Hyrule and… Midna. Midna. The one person who was by his side throughout his entire adventure. The only friend who had supported him, and who had sacrificed her life for him… Unexpectedly, the sight of the Ordonian rising made the evil king furious, causing him to quickly charge on his helpless prey with blood lust in his eyes. The princess screamed in terror and closed her eyes, expecting to hear the sound of metal ripping flesh apart and blood splattering all over the humid grass of Hyrule Field. Instead, she heard the sound of metal clashing onto…metal. She opened her eyes to the sight of the blue- eyed Hero and the Dark Lord furiously looking at each other, with their swords engaged in a push of death. What had given the Hero the power to do that? Suddenly, the evil king had fallen to the ground, injured. The princess, still atop of the Hero's mare, was looking at the Dark Lord speechless. In an instant, the Hero had leaped and was on top of the Dark Lord, stabbing him in the stomach. All went silent, and the only thing that could be heard was the Gerudo's scream echoing all over Hyrule Field.

"Do not think this ends here… The history of light and shadow will be written in blood!"

An image of the usurper twilight king appeared to the eyes of the Gerudo.

"Zant? Is that you my loyal servant? Will you set me free from my torture?"

The Twili's image nodded yes and stayed silent for a few seconds. Crack. The Dark Lord stayed completely still in the middle of the evening air, with his neck cracked, now dead forever…

Peace was now restored to the lands of Hyrule. But the Hero of Light heard something and turned around. It was the sound of the four light spirits, looking at something… no, someone, on top of a small hill… Could it be? The Hero started walking, a walk that turned into the quickest run of his life in seconds… He made it to the top of the hill, despite his injuries. He was right, there was someone there, but he…she didn't looked like Midna, not the Midna he knew… The figure in front of him stood up and turned around to look at the Hero with beautiful red eyes.

"Is that…Midna?"

The beautiful woman opened her mouth to speak with the most enchanting voice man has ever known.

" What? Say something! Am I so beautiful that you've no words left?"

The Hero looked at the woman for a few seconds, unsure of what to do. He thought to himself and... Smiled. He smiled for the first time in a long time.

~~~~~~~~~After 24 Hours~~~~~~~~~

Three figures were standing in front of the Mirror of Twilight, two Hylians and one Twili.

"Well… I guess this is farewell, huh? Light and shadow can't mix, as we all know. But… never forget that there is another world bound to this one…"

" Shadow and light are two sides of the same coin… One cannot exist without the other. I now know the reason the goddesses left the Mirror of Twilight in this world… They left it because it was their design that we should meet. Yes… that is what I believe."

"Zelda... your words are kind and your heart is true. If all in Hyrule are like you… Then maybe you'll do alright. Thank you. Well, the princess spoke truly: as long as that mirror's around we could meet again…

Midna stepped on the enchanted platform, causing white stairs to appear, leading to the entrance to the Twilight Realm.

She looked back with a sad expression and a tear flowing down her porcelain, light blue skin.

" Link… I… See you later…"

She pushed the tear towards the Mirror of Twilight, touching it in its exact center, causing it to crack. Zelda and Link were shocked, turning their gaze to Midna, who was running to the top of the stairs. She started turning to golden dust being sucked into the twilight. Only her face was left, looking at Link with a face of sadness and happiness simultaneously. And then… Crack. Midna was gone, and the Mirror of Twilight was completely shattered, never to be restored again.
