Midna smiled down at the little girl in her arms.
"Zelda. It even sounds like a light name." Midna laughed.
Zelda innocently stared up at her.
"C-can I go home? Please?" She whispered.
Midna bit her lip. "I don't know…"
The girl's eyes welled up with tears. "B-but I need to go home! Hyrule needs me!" She creid.
"Hyrule? That's the light kingdom right? Why would it need a little kid like you?" Zant growled walking up to them, still a little suspicious.
Zelda sat up weakly. "Because, I'm it's princess."
Midna and Zant gasped.
"I'm getting the guards!" Zant whispered to Midna.
"What?! No! The weak kid's just lost, we get her home, we'll never see her again." The princess hissed.
Suddenly, Zelda started to cough and curled up a bit.
"Why did you pass out earlier, when you came?" Midna asked.
"Because I'm sick….. So is my-" The little princess wezed in some air. "My daddy." She whispered.
"Your problem, not ours." Midna muttered softly, not wanting the girl to hear.
"I need to get home!" Zelda sobbed suddenly.
"Okay! Okay!" Midna growled.
The princess stopped crying suddenly and gave a tiny whimper.
"Why is a light weakling in my beautiful twilight?" A dark voice whispered.
Midna's face turned pale with surprise. She turned to see a light blue but one side black man clad with black armor. He wore a helmet that only showed his mouth of white fangs.
Midna shrank back a bit, cowering in his looming figure while little Zelda shook behind her.
The princess shielded the younger one when she caught Zant wasn't with her. He was behind the king of twilight.
Zelda suddenly hit a coughing fit and huddled into herself.
The silence was only filled by her lonely, hollow hacking.
"I'm not letting you touch her, father!" Midna yelled.
The king growled at her mention of their family, which he always made her keep hidden.
The king nodded to his guards who walked towards the princesses.
Midna closed her eyes and grunted as she used her magic to create a black and orange shield around them. She was only seven and had a difficulty with her magic already.
After many attacks though, Midna felt so weak, knowing this wouldn't stay long.
Finally, with a shatter, it broke.
Midna fell to her knees from exsaughtion and felt a guard grab her roughly by the arm. The princess felt her weak body hurtwhen she saw the twilight king, secretly her father, sling little Zelda over his shoulder who looked at her with both fear
and exsaugution.
Midna was thrown in her room and she immediately got up, run up to the door and slammed right into the door. She heard a click and started pounding on the door.
"Hey! Let me out of here!" She yelled to the guards outside.
"Why would we?" One chuckled.
"I'm the princess! I demand you!"
Only the palace staff knew of the hidden princess if the kingdom knew that the king had a daughter, a young, innocent heir who just might care about them, they would demand for her to take the throne and thues when she was born, the young princess had
almost always been locked up in the highest tower that no one could find her only being allowed to walk around the palace for ten minutes once a week.
The five year old practiced her magic every day, she discovered new tricks eventually.
Midna slammed her body weight as well as a wolf servant's onto the door. The girl slid to the ground and watched her servant continue. What was Zant doing? Was he safe? Was he forced to tell about the light creature? Midna had wondered.
Then grimaced at the thought. Zant had told her to stay away and said he'd go get the guards twice. The only thing holding him back was the simple fact that she had been watching his every move until tending to Zelda. Of course he had gotten the guards.
Zelda. Why should she think about Zant? Zelda was the victim. Who knew what the king was doing to her? Ever since she was small, Midna had snuck to the throne room and heard her father's plans. For years, she remembered him talking about taking over the
kingdom of light, Hyrule but he needed just the right way to kill of the royal family and with the king's young, and naìeve daughter, it would lure out her parents leaving him to just kill them all.
Midna gave a sigh. Why did she have to be born a princess? It was fun to use magic but her mother had died because her father thought she would tell of their heir.
There was a sudden clunk and Midna looked up. The door was being unlocked.
Zant! It just had to be! He had come for her!
And it was, as worried as always but someone was in front of him. The king.
"Hello, Midna." Her father said, nodding to her as she was still sitting on the floor.
Her wolf servent growled but the king waved it it right back into twilight pixels.
Zant walked in after him, Midna saw he was carrying Zelda. Was she that stupid to let him carry her? But then she saw the sweat building on the girl's forehead and how she was shaking incontrolbly. She was so weak and ill, she need him to carry her. The
princess burst into a fit of coughing as Zant heaved her on the pile of blankets Midna had been forced to call a bed. Then the princess saw something on the other's hands when she took them away, blood. Zelda caught her watching and tried to hide
her hands in the sleeves of her white dress which made it worse.
"Father." Midna said, stiffly, not making eye contact with Zant who was staring at her intently.
"I feel like I haven't seen you in years and then you weren't the one to tell me of the princess of Hyrule who came for a little visit." The king said, nodding to Zelda.
The younger princess sat up and weakly said, "I came to find a-" She coughed. "Cure." She whispered.
"Why would you come here for a cure?" Zant murmured.
The king glared at him. "I didn't tell for you to talk!" He snapped.
"I'm sorry, your magisty." Zant whispered.
Midna gave a little growl at him as if to say, "You chose the wrong side!"
"She came here because I cursed her and her family." The king growled.
Midna and Zant gasped and Zelda gave a cry of anger.
"That sickness killed my mommy!" She sobbed.
