She was exhilarated by the time Link pulled Epona to a stop. It was the first time she could move this freely in days. She leaned on a tree and looked up into the sky. It was night now, and the stars were visible in the gaps of the tree's foliage. She laughed, a noise partly of joy, partly of insanity.

Link glanced nervously at the girl he had saved. She just seemed… off. He had never seen anything quite like her. Unfortunately for him, she caught his glance.

She grinned strangely, and Link noticed her too-sharp canines.

"I'm sorry," she said, "I haven't seen starlight, or any natural light, for a while. I owe you answers, I suppose. It wouldn't be fair to make you come and rescue me, only to keep you in the dark. Ask away." Link was surprised. Normally people just went on a long-winded explanation and by the end he was out of patience to ask questions. He didn't quite know how to begin.

"Who are you?" Link asked. She grimaced.

"That is a very good question," she sighed, "With a very long and difficult answer. I will tell you someday, when this danger has passed." Great, thought Link, she's one of those cryptic people. He must have rolled his eyes involuntarily because she said, "I wish I could give you a better answer, but there's just too much right now. Dark Link has learned arts that should not be possible, and I fear how he might have learned them. I must keep myself as secret as possible for as long as possible."

"Alright then," Link said, "Can I at least know your name?"

She smiled. A genuine smile, a stark contrast to the madness she had projected earlier.

"My name is Morgan. Pleased to finally acually meet you."

"Well, in case I haven't mentioned it, I'm Link." He stuck out his hand and she shook it. "Can you tell me exactly what is so dangerous?" Link asked.

Morgan looked up at the trees before speaking.

"I hold a very powerful magic. Its natural form is part darkness, part light, though I can switch between the two using memories, emotions and ideas. I personally, have a lot of… dark emotions. Anger, resentment, sorrow, the like. Dark Link has found a way to sever me from my magic, and according to him, he can't absorb the normal form of it, but he can absorb the darkness. He then plans to take the full Triforce. I don't know what he means to do then, but it can't be good for anybody."

"I agree," nodded Link, "but what do we do now?"

"Well," she said hesitantly, "I don't quite know. Dark Link will pursue me no matter where I go. Here is a good a place to fight him as any. Better, maybe."

"Fight him?" Said Link, "I can do that. Again."

She smiled at him.

"And this time you'll have me to improve the odds."

"Is that so?" a deep voice interrupted.

"Shit! Crux!" swore Morgan, "Already?"

Dark Link was mounted on an ivory horse just yards away.

He swung off and unsheathed his weapons.

"You have spirit, princess, I'll give you that." Dark Link sneered. Link's sword was out in an instant. "I'll deal with you later." Dark Link snapped at him.

Morgan brushed her hand against the tree she had been leaning on, and Link thought he saw a tendril of silver light wrap around its trunk and sink in. She faced Dark Link in defiance.

"I underestimated you," she hissed at him, baring her teeth, "I learn from my mistakes." She put down the borrowed bow and quiver, removing two arrows. The arrowheads became liquid in her hands, and changed into two short knives. "You and me. Let's go."

"But…" Link protested, but Morgan cut him off.

"Trust me, Hero. I know what I'm doing."

Morgan and Dark Link circled each other, and she had a sense of déjà vu. She casually undid the knot that held the wrapping on her left arm, and let the cloth fall off. A long scar marred her forearm.

"So the legend is true." Dark Link commented.

"Legend? What legend? I know for a fact that there is no legend." Morgan lunged forward, brandishing her knives. She slashed at his head, but he ducked under his shield, so that she only cut off the tip of his hat. She darted back, her hair swinging.

"You learn from your mistakes? Ha," Dark Link shot the black energy, but this time, she was ready.

She crossed her arms, and the energy hit an invisible wall and dissipated.

"What…" Dark Link was bewildered, but he couldn't wonder for long. Morgan had leapt on him. She attacked so fast he could barely see where the next blow would come from. He was the one who had underestimated her. He never thought that she could be this fast, this strong, and this skilled. She gave him some deep cuts and his arms, legs and back, and he was losing a lot of blood.

She rushed Dark Link one last time, and as he put his shield up to block, she jumped up onto it and back flipped off, landing behind him with her knife at his throat.

"Give up. You were never going to win. I didn't even end up using any magic against you this time."

"You have no idea who you're dealing with." Dark Link threatened, elbowing her in the ribs, causing her to reel back. His neck dribbled blood as he pointed his sword at Morgan's neck. Link rushed forward to help.

"No," Morgan grinned like a wolf, "You have no idea."

Roots shot out of the ground and wrapped themselves around Dark Link's legs, pulling him down. Smaller roots dragged away his sword and shield, while others tied him down.

Link slowed and stopped running, looking at his new acquaintance in surprise. She shrugged.

"Admittedly, I could have done that sooner. But this asshole made me bleed." She said.

"Okay… so what do we do with him?" Link asked. Morgan looked down at Dark Link and laughed evilly.

"I need to find out how he learned out how to do… that. I'm taking him to my home to interrogate him."

"I'll never tell you anything." Dark Link said, kind of pathetically.

"I have creative ways of getting people to talk." Morgan assured him.

"What, you mean torture?" Link exclaimed.

"That's such an ugly word. But yeah, that's basically what it is. Worst case scenario, I have to go into his head and take it myself."

"Uh…" Link stuttered. "You know… I don't want to know." Morgan nodded.

"Trust me, you really don't."

She crouched down by Dark Link and grabbed a fistful of his hair.

"See you later, Link." She said, and they disappeared. Link jumped in surprise. They were… just gone. She did leave something behind, though. A silver coin, with the strange symbol on one side, along with the word Trinity.

On the other side was a crest, a dragon holding a sword in its teeth.

This was meant to be the ending. However, I have come up with an awesome plot twist to keep the story going. If I get five reviews saying that you want this story to go on, I will get on the next chapter. I will also try to figure out how to put a poll on my page so that you can vote there too. Please read and review, and let me know!
