Forbidden loves? Exploding libraries? Taco salads?!?! (Okay, that's what I'm having tonight. I like taco salads. -) Disclaimers are boring, and we already know the drill. Enjoy chap. 4!

Link sat rather comfortably on a coffin as Saio prepared dinner, courtesy of the host. Now that they had found Saio, the whole graveyard seemed a bit friendlier. Even the stalfoes seemed better. But one question still nagged him.

"Midna, I've been wondering, how did the Twilight Mirror get repaired? I thought you shattered it completely!" Midna looked surprised.

"I did! I'm still regretting doing so, but, that's something I'd like to know as well." Midna looked at Saio, "Would you have any idea?" Saio nodded.

"Aye. It was….me." Link and Midna exchanged startled looks. "If you're wondering how I knew, or how I did it, it's a long story. You see, I was watching when the Mirror was destroyed. I refused to accept it, so I set about gathering the pieces. I got a lot of glass cuts during that, believe me."

Link was still shocked, and was about to ask another question when…

"CRASH!!!!!" Large, purple crystals, like the ones that were at Hyrule Castle, barred the exit of the tomb. Not only that, but at least five crystal beasts emerged from the crystal.

"I take it this is what we're up against? These crystalline nightmares?" Saio sounded worried, "If you think only the three of us can do it, you're dead wrong. We need more, good thing I know a friend who could help us even the odds." He said this while nimbly avoiding the beasts, while firing arrows off in rapid succession. However, when a Crystal Beast fell, before it could get back up, he threw a large bomb at it, eliminating its remains.

Link was astonished at what happened next. For Saio, apparently possessing magic, conjured what resembled red-black lighting bolts, and hurled them at the beasts. Midna was hurling spheres of magic, sending a miniature shockwave throughout the creatures' body, harming it and paralyzing it at the same time.

This continued for what seemed like an hour, the beasts finally ceased, and the barriers cracked and shattered. And they could finally get out, and find this friend of Saios.

A short while later….

Link was relieved that nothing had happened to his home, but was still unsure how long this safety would last. After searching Faron Woods after what seemed like forever, the friend found them.

"Saio? Strange of you to get out of you're grave. Whose you're lady?"

"Ha-ha, you're hilarious, Tori. As for your second question, this is Midna, the Twilight Princess."

"Ah, you're lucky. Who's him….?!" Tori's face changed from curiosity to fury. "YOU!! You're the one whose been harassing everyone here and causing those crystals to appear!"

Link was startled, "Me? But I wasn't here when all of this started! And I'm trying to end it!"

Tori looked suspicious for a moment, but his face softened. "If Saio can trust you, I guess I can too. But there was someone who looked exactly like you."

Midna looked surprised, "Exactly like him? Or close to?" Tori thought for a moment.

"Come to think of it, his eyes were a piercing red, and his skin was a real dark grey. And his clothes were really black."

Hmmm, red eyes? Black clothes? Link getting blamed for something he didn't do? If any of you can guess who's coming to town, read the next chapter!
