Chapter 2 - The Fortune Teller and The Trauma

As Link and Midna walked up to the fortune teller they saw a woman in a dark purple robe staring at a crystal ball.

"_Enterrr… Whatever it is your desirrrreee, my crystal ball knows alllll", the woman said.

"_We are looking for a mirror", Link said, placing a yellow rupee on the counter.

"_Hmmm… I seee", the fortune teller replied. "_Very well. I shall look into my crystal ball for what you desire", the women said, gazing into her crystal ball. It started to glow and then…

"_I SEE IT…" A moment of silence for dramatic effect, but what she saw was beyond measure. Such pain was described on the woman's face the way she looked at Link's partner. Then she asked him to leave.

"_Why do I have to leave?!" Link said angry.

"_Link, please…just leave for a moment", Midna asked.

"_Fine," said Link as he went out mumbling.

"_What did you see that was so bad?" Midna asked.

"_Your past. It is a dark one, isn't it? A past that you try to hide. All the pain you felt, the tears you shed and now you feel something for your partner that you don't understand, a feeling you are scared of, I see it in your eyes."

Midna felt a chill down her spine as she remembered that day:

"_Zant, why do you do this? You abuse the magic of your tribe and use it against it." Midna said gritting her teeth.

"_My Midna, why can't you see the obvious? I was destined to become ruler and you'll never be able to mingle with the light dwellers, they who caused nothing but chaos", Zant said.

"_Shut up. SHUT UP! King? You will never be my king, not now not ever. You are a disgrace to our ancestors. You who does nothing but abuse the magic of our tribe and for what? So, you could rain it all on the light dwellers. What did they ever do to you?" Midna said, gritting her teeth, while tears fell down her face.

"_How dare you yell at me?" Zant then slapped Midna's face.

While she was restrained by Zant's magic, Wolf Link attempted to save Midna. When a ball of purple energy appeared, Zant then shot it to Link and an orange and black spike was driven into his head. He fell to the ground. While she looked at an unconscious Wolf Link, Zant pulled her away. She was soon looking straight into Zant's lifeless orange eyes.

"_I see that you still won't leave that filthy light dweller. Then in that case, I'll make you." Zant pummeled her to the ground placed his body on top of her and started doing unspeakable things to her. She kept screaming as Zant took away something that would leave a stain on Midna's soul forever.

"_LINK, WAKE UP, PLEASE," Midna screamed, but Link couldn't respond. When Zant was finished, he teleported away warning Midna that if he saw her again she would suffer worse.

Midna shocked, when she returned to reality. She fell to the ground shaking. Her body felt cold. So she started to scream. When Link heard, he came in running. When he saw Midna collapsed on the floor with tears falling down her face, Link fell to the ground and grabbed Midna in his arms trying to comfort her not knowing what happened. After a while she was able to calm down and fall asleep in his arms. He stood up looking at the fortune teller who said nothing looking at Link's eyes.
