Link stared into the spring. He was grateful to be back in his own body, but it would take a little more time to get used to the idea of being a hero and having the fate of the world resting on his shoulders.
He looked into the crystal clear water. Only days before, he had seen himself as a young Ordonian ranch hand. He'd had no knowledge of the great evil sweeping across the land of Hyrule. He looked into his own eyes and was surprised by what he saw. Yesterday his eyes had reflected bravery and wonder. Now he saw the burning gaze of a hero.
He turned to leave the spring and head to the Forest Temple, as the light spirit had instructed him to do.
"You didn't think you were rid of me, did you, Link?" Midna asked. "Don't look so surprised. We're a team, you and I. We're in this together. Besides, when our quest leads you back into the Twilight Realm, you'll need my help."
Midna disappeared back into Link's shadow and they headed off in search of the Forest Temple, the other three light spirits, and a new and wonderful adventure.
Author's Note: Yeah... this one is super short. Just a quiet moment with Link thinking about stuff. In keeping with the games, Link never has any dialogue in my stories. I guess I should mention that the next few chapters will contain spoilers for TP, but really if you haven't played it by now you are just seriously missing out.
