An ominous glare etched into her face, eyes reflecting the amaranthine obsidian, the Twili floated. Antagonized that she still remained in her impish form, Midna swore silently to herself. If this was the end, she was not going down without protest – not in this cursed form of hers. Ruminating upon the sequence of events that brought her here, Midna paused to replay them in her mind.

Just minutes before, she was in her element – Fused Shadows tightly enclosed her head and body, filling her with raw power. Her image distorted, as she shifted to an arachnid form, her body oscillating with Twili ruins; the origin of her power. Ganon stood, viridian flames rippling around his body. Midna knew that if she struck now, Ganon would be weak. Forming a spear, she concentrated, drawing energy from herself, filling the bayonet. Calling upon the Fused Shadows, she propelled her weapon through the air. Ganondorf laughed, the cruel tone of his amusement sending shivers through Midna, but the imp held her ground. The contemptible villain waved his hand, causing the spear to shatter, pieces sharp as the spear itself flew towards Midna. Unable to warp, she spun, keeping clear of the shards. Safely out of the way she turned to Ganon, but it was not the dark wizard that she found. A splinter with a beeline for her heart, was what she greeted her. Gasping, she leaped, but the splinter's course rang true, embedding itself into her flesh. Midna did not flinch, "This is not over, Ganon." Her voice raw with malice.

"Why, for you, my dear, I do believe it is."

And here was where she found herself. If 'here' is anywhere, the Princess brooded.

Here melted into somewhere, and time did not exist.

Spun into light, Midna winced - her sensitive eyes narrowing.

Voices whispered. "Who is she?"

"Link's companion - a Twili Princess, don't you remember? I didn't think your memory was that bad."

"It's not, Faron, get a grip - but why is she, a creature of darkness, here?"

"It is beyond my knowledge to know, Lanayru."

"She does not belong here. Send her back," a new voice rang out.

Now, we are getting somewhere, the Twili Princess thought.

"Ordon, what are you proposing?"

"Send the imp back. Back to the light world - I'm sure Link would appreciate her revival."

A tear, birthed from a cerulean eye, fell to the ground. A battle had been won, a world saved, but at what cost?

Golden light enveloped the impish figure on the hilltop, catching the saddened eye of a hero.

His thoughts raced. Was it her? It couldn't be. He had seen Ganon hold her Fused Shadows, a sign of victory over the imp. But...

Link raised himself, and began his ascent of this hill. His walk quickly evolved into a run, and he sprinted for the figure. But alas, he did not recognize the figure on the hill. It was a Twili, but not his little imp. The lady in question has long fiery hair, tied in front of her, blue skin, and a cloak; shining with whirling, twisting patterns, to reveal a scantily dressed body. Link moved his eyes to the woman's face. Red, familiar, but foreign, eyes reciprocated his stare. He felt his depression at Midna's loss return, and turned away. The woman spoke, "What? Say something! Am I so beautiful that you've no words left?"

Link froze. "M...Midna?"

"Of course, who else would I be?" the lady chuckled. Link smiled, as the realization that his best friend was alive hit him. Link spontaneously wrapped his arms around his friend, whispering, "I thought I'd lost you."

"I'm not that easy to loose, I have a habit for coming back, Wolfy."

A/N: I know, this chapter was already placed into this story - but it sucked. It was terrible. Midna was OOC, and it was completely cheesy. Realizing my mistake, I removed it, rewrote it, and this is the result. Thank you for taking the time to read it. If you wish, I would love feedback! Was there a huge grammar error? Did you hate it? Love it? Or was it just 'whatever'? (Link, has NO personality at ALL in TP... he will be a challenge later...) Also, I did not really want to stop here, but I figured what was coming next would flow better if it was a new chapter. Also, for those who have subscribed (Thank you so much, btw), I apologize for the email you will get - sometimes I forget to add an A/N or something important to the chapter, forcing me to take it down/repost it. I'm getting better though! I hope not to have this problem with the next chapter.
