"How much more do I need to walk?" groaned Midnight to Fane for the umpteenth time. "Oh, I don't know dear princess, why don't you ask your mother. I mean she is locked away in a tower in the light world while the light dwellers have no idea where and what is going to happen. So why don't you tell me how much farther we have to travel?"
Midnight pouted, "You don't have to be so mean Mr. Grumpy Pants. I mean the Princess in the light world would have the knowledge to what is going to happen, being the Triforce of Wisdom and all." Her eyes suggested they needed a break after all the walking they did in the dawn of day. The only thing protecting them from the harmful rays of the light in the Light realm was a special charm given to them by Leo before, he too, disappeared with her mother.
Midnight played with the charm shaped like a small wolf before glancing over to Fane's charm shaped like a Twili helm. It seemed that both charms were hand made out of dark dust, a special material only found in the Twili realm used for carving or making small things in everyday items. Dark dust could also be used as a spell receiver/magic catcher. It can be spell bound and work as a special charm used by Twili who like to go to the light realm and not be killed by it. They are discontinued in the market area, the reason being her mother breaking the Mirror of Twilight.
Dark dust was molded into these specific charms for both of them by Midna. Midnight sighs and she starts to stare at the ground, "Hey, how do you think our lives would be like if we weren't who we are right now? Like, if we weren't royalty or Twili; if we were human or just a citizen of the light world?" That comment made Fane stop in his tracks and turn to look at Midnight.
"Huh, why'd yo-…Ow!" Midnight almost yelled as Fane's chin hit her forehead. "Why'd you stop?" she asked him, her voice full of irritation. "Why are you asking me that? Just what goes on in your head?" he asked. "Well, I just thought that life would be simpler if we were 'normal' and stuff." She answered. "Are you dissatisfied with your life?" he said bending down enough to look at her in the eyes. "Aren't you? I mean you have had a rough past and you were abandoned as a child." She stated. "I wouldn't have asked for a normal life because I met you and your mother. You guys saved me and help me be somebody and I wish to repay you both for what you did." He told her as he hugged her.
"Don't think I would change the life I have now because of the mistakes I couldn't control in the past. Think more positive, I think we need a rest before we get going again. How about it Night." He said letting her go and nudging her shoulder with his elbow. She smiled and said, "Yeah, you're right. I should think more positive. Well, come on, let's go take a break. You need it more than I do with all my whining along the way."
Rain was falling softly outside the cave as I watched Fane sleep for the fifth time during our trip, sure it might seems creepy if you're an outsider, but to me it is calming. I have lost all of which I had to a monster I don't know…I feel responsible for it….Maybe if I hadn't ran from her that one night. The night of my demise, the dayshe got captured. I could of prevented it and didn't.
A sigh escape my lips and I instantly froze as panic swept through every fiber of my being. Fane had shifted and started to try and get up, but couldn't do it due to the fact that Midnight had his head on her lap. She weighed her options and tried to decide whether she should have to pretend that she was asleep or face the fact that Fane would figure out that she watched him sleep.
She twiddled her fingers around the dark dust charm and another sigh let her lips before she closed her eyes. She evened out her breaths and was truly dozing off until she heard, "That's an interesting hobby you got there. Do you always watch me sleep or do you rest? In fact there has only been one time I've seen you sleep. When do you sleep?"
She nearly threw up, "Ugh, the way you say that somehow makes me want to puke out rainbows and lollipops Fane. It seems too innocent for your persona, no offence or anything, but it's the truth." Her heterochromatic orbs were shown as she opened to see light seeping through. Her sight landed on Fane as he turned around, his face facing her stomach. Truth be told, she was trying to avoid the question of her sleep because the nightmares would catch on with her, then she would truly puke all over his head.
Fane sighed before resting her face on her stomach, he muffled out, "You're avoiding the question Night…" She pretended not to hear the comment and started humming. Fane lifted his head again, "What are you humming?" Midnight abruptly stopped her noise and looked at Fane. "Mom said that it was a melody that she could hear in one of her many, near death experiences. Her most desperate hour or her lament of sorts. She witnessed it with father…" she muttered, but Fane could still hear.
"Sorry I asked…I was just curious…" Fane told her. Midnight shook her head in disagreement, "No, don't worry about it, you should ask more questions often. I like it when you ask questions." Midnight smiled and the corner of her eyes crinkled at the edges. "It lets me see what you're thinking of at the moment." She shifted to where it seemed to be a little more comfortable for Fane and began humming again, only, her voice seemed a little more strained than before.
"Hey, Fane?" Midnight asked as she stared right ahead. "Hmm?" he replied sparing a quick glance at Midnight. "W-why…why are we doing this? I mean, everything is lost at the moment, so how can we compete against an unknown force?" Fane finally stopped Midnight's hand and stared at her fully. "What are you getting at Midnight? Are you saying that we should give up? What about you brother, sister and mother? Are you saying we should give up on them?"
Midnight gently shoved Fane out of her lap and stood up. She dusted herself off of any dust and walked towards the entrance of the cave. "I am saying that Fane, I am just too childish for this quest and I am also too stupid for the puzzles we faced back in the Gerudo Desert. You had to solve them yourself or for me, so I feel like I'm only dragging you down. I am not qualifie- I mean not up to the task. I am not my mother who managed to save two worlds in a long quest."
Fane glared at Midnight, "Mid-night. You are not dragging me down; you could never drag me down because you arespecial to me. You are probably my only pride and joy, so don't think of yourself so lightly. Besides, your mother didn't do her quest all by herself, now did she?" Midnight slumped further into herself, "No... She had help from my father…" He walked to her side and wrapped her arm around her neck, "Exactly, now chin up. This rain seems to be pouring hard and won't stop for a while. You know what that means right? We can move around without much worry, the clouds cover us so we can walk and not die. Let's go."
Midnight felt a little better and sighed, "Alright…" He got her wrist and dragged her outside the cave. The rain was a soft patter as they moved forward through the canopy of trees. She trudged while Fane seemed to almost fly though the space. Her mind was on overdrive, still thinking about the things that were said. She was serious when she had told him that she didn't want to continue and that she was confused when Fane wanted to continue going.
Fane slowed his pace and asked Midnight, "Hey you know whose guidance we need? We need the great fairy's guidance! Maybe then, we can find the hero of legend, and save the world again!" Midnight's face light up at those words and nodded. "Fane, that's the best thing I've heard so far! It might just work…" Fane smiled brightly as her face lit up.
Fane's eyes crinkled at the edges as his smile grew a lot bigger. 'Why?...'
