I am usually a pretty calm, docile woman. I pride myself on the ability to see the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak, in every situation. This, however, was not one of those situations. I had just found out there was a bearer of darkness before me and that Zant had betrayed the only man I ever loved. 'Why the hell does life like to fuck with me? What did I EVER do to deserve this?! Why today, of all days?! Damn it, Din, couldn't you have just let me die and then send me to the underworld?!' As I silently cursed the goddesses (and myself) Shea sat watching my every expression. Finally I got fed up with the constant blinking.

"WHAT?! WHAT IN DIN'S NAME ARE YOU STARING AT?!" Shea quirked an eyebrow at me. Ganondorf's head swung around to look at me, as he must have heard me all the way across the gardens. Shea smirked.

"You have a worse temper than I remember." I felt steam begin seeping from my ears. Oh how I loathed being told I had a bad temper. I knew I looked crazed, hell, how could I not? This was too much for one person to bear at any given time. But bad things always came in threes. Now I had to await the third. I pulled so hard on my braids that a chunk of hair appeared in my hand. I cringed as pain shot through my head. Snarling, I rose from the bench, determined to do something…but what?

"I'm going to kill that stupid fucker!" I was stopped in my tracks as Shea roughly grabbed my wrist and hauled me backwards.

THUD!

I hit the ground hard, Shea shaking her head at me sympathetically. What the hell?

"Don't be too hasty, Twili. You taught me patience, remember? You also taught me that everything, be it good or bad happens for a reason. If you kill Zant now you will destroy the very fabric that binds you to the Dark King. Ganondorf exists because Zant lives. Understand?" Her voice was monotone but strikingly accurate nonetheless. I nodded. Ganondorf need Zant to exist. He would be nothing but a ghost without him. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

"So what do I do? Wait for Zant to kill Ganondorf?" I spat. Shea shook her head.

"I cannot tell you what to do. You have a brain, use it. You're brilliant, but you're kind of blind sometimes." She shrugged. I took a deep breath, willing my temper to calm down.

"Do you know how Zant plans to betray him?" Shea shook her head.

"All I know is that a new…or rather old…enemy is gaining strength. Zant has sought it out, just as he sought out his "god;" your lover." Pow, there was the third thing. Fuck it Twili, perhaps you should throw yourself into the light right now.
