Chapter 2: Twili from distant lands

"Ugh... Where am I?...", I groaned in pain and tried to sit up. I felt like I had just fallen from a skyscraper. A silk-gloved hand brushed my face and put a wet towel on my forehead.

"Shhh... Please try to rest, you're safe with me.", a wise, comforting, feminine, voice of authority said to me. I looked at the woman beside me and gasped.

"Ah crap... Nayru?", I groaned. Looks like I was going home before I even had a chance to help Link. The girl giggled.

"Nayru? I don't think I'm that beautiful.", She told me wiping my face. I looked again and cleared my eyes.

"Whoa... Princess Zelda.", I murmured with a smile. She smiled sweetly and nodded.

"Right on the nose this time. Might I ask who you are little one?", She asked me. I gave a look of confusion.

"... Little one?... What?", I mumbled looking at my hands. I gasped in shock.

"I'm an Imp!?," I exclaimed in shock, turning my hands over, "And a Twili imp no less!"

Zelda raised an eyebrow in concern. I twitched in excitement, at the fact that I was a Twili! Zelda reached out and placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Are... Are you alright?", she asked, her voice dripping with concern. I turned around and smiled.

"I feel great!", I gave her a thumbs up and fell backwards in dizziness. She laughed and picked me up.

"A little dizzy it seems. Now tell me again, who are you?", She asked me patiently. I looked her in the eye and sighed.

"It's a little complicated.", I told her.

"I'm sure I can follow.", she smiled and pulled up a chair.

"Well, My name is Austin, and I've been sent by the goddess Din, to assist the Hero of Twilight on his quest. If you don't know, I'm not from this world.", I explained. She nodded knowingly.

"I can see, you're from the Realm of Twilight.", She said. I shook my head and smiled.

"Actually, no, I'm not. I'm from a different world entirely. One that holds interactive stories in it, but one in particular is my favorite. It's called The Legend of Zelda.", I told her. Zelda leaned forward in interest, obviously from hearing that her name was part of the title.

"There are many different stories about it, almost all involving a hero named Link, and a princess named Zelda. Many tell of a dark man from the desert, that craved a golden power.", I told the wise princess.

"Ganon and the Triforce.", Zelda said in realization. I nodded.

"Many in my world have taken clues from each of the stories, piecing together a timeline of when these events occured. At one point in time, the timeline split, createing two seperate timelines for the stories to follow. I've played almost all of them, and judging by my appearence, and my surroundings, I know where, and when, I am.", I explained finishing up. Zelda sighed in amazement.

"So it even tells the story of the Hero of Time?", She asked. I nodded.

"That is the story that splits the time line. After Ganon was defeated, Zelda approached Link and asked for the Ocarina of Time back. She played a song and sent him back in time to have a real childhood.", I told her. Zelda nodded in understanding.

"I suppose that makes sense from what you've told me.", She muttered. I got up and walked to the window. Rain poured against the cool, fogged up glass. Zelda looked at the back of her left hand and pulled on her cloak. I looked around at her and she motioned for me to follow her. I walked over next to the fireplace.

"Link is coming.", She told me. I looked at the door and waited a moment. Right on cue a wolf poked his head through the door. It looked around and sniffed the air. Midna was laying on his back and she fell off. My eyes widened and I walked out from beside the fireplace. Link saw me and snarled nastily. I put my hands up in defence, and Zelda raised a hand.

"Calm yourself O Hero. He is of peace.", She told him. He calmed down and she put a hand on Midna. I walked over slowly and frowned in concern. I was never this distressed when playing the game before, because I knew Midna would live. But know that I saw her up close, she looked terribly ill. I walked over to her and sat down, grasping her hand in support.

"Please... Please tell me...",she said weakly to Zelda, "How do we break... The curse on this one?"

Zelda grasped her other hand and I smiled calmly, shushing Midna.

"Please... Please save your strength...", I asked of her. She looked at me weakly.

"Who?...", She asked. I closed my eyes tightly, trying to keep calm.

"I'm a friend.", I told her shakily.

'Why am I getting so torn up about this?! I'm supposed to help Link!', I thought angrily to myself. Midna looked at Link.

"This... is the one... You need him... To save your world!", She told Zelda.

"That's why...", She continued wearily, "Princess... Please... You must help Link..."

Zelda looked at Link, and raised her left hand, hovering over the wolf's body till her hand shone brightly above his head.

"What binds him is a different magic than what transformed him when he first passed through the curtain of twilight. It is an evil power.", She explained. I looked up, since it was the first time I had ever heard Zelda say it.

"Our world is one of balance... Just as there is light to drive away the darkness, so, too, is there benevolence to banish evil.", She said to Both Link and Midna. I got chills from listening to her speak.

"Head for the sacred grove that lies deep within the lands guarded by the light spirit Faron. There you will find the blade of evil's bane that was crafted by the wisdom of the ancient sages... the Master Sword. The Master Sword is a sacred blade that evil can never touch. Evil cloaks you like a dark veil... and that blade is the only thing that can cleave it."

Midna's breath began to sound shallow. I gripped her hand harder and twitched in sorrow.

'She's going to be okay damn it! Remember how it happens!', I scolded myself in my mind.

"Link... Hero sent by the goddesses... Like you, I have been granted special powers by the goddesses...", She said showing her left hand. Link stared at her hand and Midna spoke up.

"Fine... Link... You can... You can get to the woods... on your own, right?", She asked calmly. I shook my head in frustration.

"No! C'mon Midna! Link came here with you, and he's not leaving without you! You got it?", I told her in a forceful voice, tears falling down my face. She ignored me and spoke to Zelda.

"Princess... I have one last request...", She spoke hoarsely, "Can you tell him... Where to find the Mirror of Twilight?"

The room was silent save for the rain pittering against the cold fogged up glass.

"Midna...", Zelda said quietly, "I believe I understand now just who and what you are... Despite your mortal injuries, you act in our stead... These dark times are the result of our deeds, yet it is you who have reaped the penalty. Accept this now, Midna. I pass it to you..."

Zelda began to glow ominously. Light flowed from her body into Midna's hand.

"Z-Zelda...", I stuttered sadly. 'It seems like she's leaving this world.'

Midna looked at Zelda in confusion, then her eyes widened in shock. Her body floated into the air.

"Take Austin with you...", Zelda said quietly. Midna stared at her in shock and ignored her.

"No! Link! Stop her!", Midna shouted. She floated up higher and higher until her hand slipped out of Zelda's. Zelda faded away into nothing and the light disappeared. Midna floated down sadly, red hair burning brightly. Link walked closer to Midna and stared at where Zelda once was. Midna lowered her head sadly.

"We go back Link! Back to Faron woods!", She said. Midna looked at me and flipped over onto Link's back.

"Well, you coming or not?", She asked me. I closed my eyes my eyes and nodded firmly.

"For Zelda!", I said making a promise. I jumped onto Link's back as well and rode in silence. Midna turned her head to the side, looking at where Zelda once

"Zelda... I've taken all that you had to give... though I did not want it...", she muttered quietly. Midna opened a portal and warped us out of the castle.

We landed in front of the gate and Link started to run down the path when we all heard something. Link stopped and turned around. The Castle shimmered for a moment, then a golden shield flashed down, blocking any entrance or exit to the castle. Link snarled in anger and Midna clenched her fist tightly. I looked upon the castle sadly, knowing that next time we were there, Link would think Midna was killed, and his heart would be broken. Midna let her fist loosen and she lightly kicked Link's sides to get him moving.

"So. You're Austin?", Midna asked me.

"Yeah.", I replied shortly.

"Why were you so torn up about me dieing back there?", She asked suspiciously. I sighed.

"Because I can't stand the thought of losing a friend. And before you ask, I know that Zelda will be back. I don't know about her condition right now, but she'll be back.", I told Midna plainly. She puffed in annoyance.

"Where'd you come from?", She asked me in frustration. I thought for a second and came up with a truth.

"Another realm of course. Just like you Midna.", I explained in a hushed voice. Midna told Link to stop. She turned around and looked me in the eye.

"How much do you know?", She asked threateningly. I gulped and leaned back. She was staring daggers at me. I leaned back forward and whispered in her ear.

"Everything. But I'm on your side, so I'm not gonna tell anybody but you. Not even fuzzy-face here.", I whispered motioning to the wolf we were sitting on. Midna was taken aback.

"How am I sure we can trust you?", She said forming a ball of energy. I looked her in the eye sadly.

"Zelda does. I'm sure that should count for something.", I said sadly. Midna looked down and dispersed the ball of energy.

"I'm sorry...", She apologized looking at the ground. I pat her on the back and smiled brightly.

"Don't be! You got people that care about you, other than just your neighbors in the Twilight realm!", I said winking, "Now c'mon! Lets get to fixin' the furball here!"

Link growled in annoyance and Midna snickered. I apologized to Link and we warped to the northern part of Faron woods.

Yeah, not exactly long, but I do my best! Please review for a Fluffy Pink Cupcake of Redundant Happiness!
