Chapter 10: Ordon Children in Twilight
Pain.
Pain was all he felt at the moment. His shoulder was the worst of it, it wasn't so bad that he couldn't withstand it.
He could, but barely. Slowly he opened his orbs slowly.
The changing clear blue sky was the first thing his eyes saw. Moving around, he pushed himself up to a 90 degree angle.
Big mistake.
Like a sharp jab to a bad bruise, he groaned in pain. His back, chest and shoulder area hurt immensely.
Quickly, he moved into a bit more comfortable position.
As well as noticing bandages around his body.
A gauze pad had been previously taped onto the right side of his face and shoulder. His right wrists and left triceps were wrapped with elastic bandages.
He vaguely remembered the previous actions with the enlarged Deku at the forest temple.
"I see you're awake." Called the female, bringing his attention from his thoughts. She walked to him, carrying some fruit in her arms. Similar to how he did to her before they entered inside the Forest Temple.
He didn't answer; all he did was eye at the food, when the female placed an apple in front of him.
"Eat. We're going to the Twilight border next." She stated; her voice was stale.
Link looked up.
What was that?
Last minute she was kind and now she's being rude, what's going on?
"I have to get serious once we enter Twilight, Hero." She answered, as if she read his mind. Her voice hadn't changed it still had the stone tone to it.
"What's wrong?" He asked carefully.
"Nothing." She answered, her voice the same. Something was not right. The male examined the female. Her face seemed paler than usual, which is actually saying something.
Her eyes slightly were unfocused, and tired looking to say the least.
"No, there is something going on." He retorted, despite his injuries he sat up. Noticing the female wincing a little towards him.
"Beside the Twilight, I doubt there is anything else goi-"
"It can't be just the Twilight." Link cut her off.
Zelda shot up, her eyes sharp at the male's. "Don't you accuse me." She stated firmly.
"There is nothing wrong besides the Twilight." The Ex-Princess continued, looking away briefly.
"My people are suffering! What else can I be worried about!" She angrily said. Her eyes like daggers to an enemy.
The green garbed male wasn't fazed. "That's not all the reason." He retorted, his night blue eyes crossing matching the female's.
"Then what!" She yelled. "Since you seem to know me better than myself?"
Link leaned back in surprise.
He knew the Hylian Princess had a very well-mannered temper because of all the duties of one blood related to the Royal Family.
Not once from the short time, has he ever seen her like this, much less heard about it.
Zelda surprised herself a little. She never risen her voice higher to anyone, than how she did just now.
She stared at her companion's face, shock blanketed his face. Guilt wrapped around her heart.
"Link… I'm sorry… I never should have yelled at you." She said, almost in shame.
"No. It's my fault I never should have said that." He said lowly, his voice as well tad embarrassed.
"I just wanted to know what was going on… and well… I really went far." He said looking away.
Zelda exhaled. "To tell you the truth… I was angry with you." She admitted looking at the other, strait to his eyes.
"You were angry… with me…?"
The brunet nodded. "After what you did with the Deku. Risking your neck out there, I-it really scared me." She admitted, still keeping her eyes on the half-naked Hero's face.
"Oh…" He breathed looking to the ground. "But Princess… It's my duty to protect you. I nee-"
"STOP!" She screamed. Link gasped to her sudden risen tone.
"Enough." She breathed.
"I already know that. It's always one's duty to protect the Princess, Queen, King, Prince, anyone from the Royal Family bloodline." She stated coldly.
"But I had it. Yes I know it's obliged; But…" She stopped, remembering the recent history.
Her soldiers charging into the unknown shadowed battle, ones defeated. Others covered in their own if not their companion's blood… The sick images of her soldiers heads, limbs, anything that is meant to be connected to them… seperated.
The cries of her guards… her people silently crying for help… but she couldn't do a thing… She was…
She stopped, everything overwhelmed her. She was lost in the past events that she had not realized the hot tears that flowed from her eyes.
"…I've seen my people die before my eyes…" She whispered her voice sounding fragile.
Link stood there, his eyes widened in shock.
Not once had he ever thought how it must have been hard and painful it was for her when the Twilight appeared in her kingdom.
Hearing about it was one thing, but to experience and view it with one's eyes in real life is another.
He was an idiot… he reminded her of what had just happened.
The strong Hyrulian Princess, who kept her head tall and proud; who is caring and considerate to her people had just broken down to tears.
All because of his stubborn curiosity.
He eyed the now timid brunet. She was a bit paler and was now down on her knees.
"It's alright…" He soothed trying to move a bit close to the Princess, comforting her in whichever way he can.
Zelda closed her cryptic blue eyes, trying to take in Link's words.
She soon felt a warm weight on her left shoulder.
The brunet looked up, Link held his hand carefully, squeezing it resassuringly. His face full of soft concern and guilt.
"I'm sorry." He whispered.
"I'm sorry for making you remember that…" Zelda opened her now appearing violet eyes. Noticing Link's guilt, weakly she smiled.
"It's alright…"
Link returned the expression while picking himself up. Wincing and grabbing his abdomen, which was still hurting. Not as much as his shoulder, but all the bruising really made it tinge with the bothering pain.
"I'm going to require removing your bandages Link." She said her voice now calm and soft.
He nodded sitting up, still careful with his injuries.
…
"Are you ready to go into Twilight?" The green clad hero asked. Zelda moved her violet bluish eyes to his.
"Are you sure you want to go now?" She asked surprisingly. "You… you're barely healing."
"I'll be fine, besides the goddess will take care of us if anything happens." He retorted matching his eyes against hers.
Zelda commanded her eyes to his currently naked shoulder, and covered areas on his torso.
*He's… barely healing…*
Her eyes stayed on the bandages, should he…?
"Alright." She breathed, grabbing her oxen gloves putting them on.
After cleaning up the makeshift camp, they moved along the grassy area.
They traveled farther, meeting up with Coro again and buying some lantern oil from him, and moving along past the busy red head to wooden gates ahead.
"So this is Hyrule field then." Asked Link, moving his night blue orbs across the field. He never gone here, sure Rusl told him about it, but he never actually seen it for himself.
The first thing the female noticed were the black and transparent orange gold clouds forming at their sides.
"Twilight..." She muttered. "Come on." She said, already walking across darkening green place.
Bokoblins were slightly scattered around the enlarged field, but they didn't seem to take note of them.
…So it was pretty much a peaceful walk into… Twilight…
"HEEEEEEY!"A high pitched, yet annoying voice a male came to the two's sensitive's ears. There right in front of them, was a rather skinny male, running very stupidly to them. He had a pole stuck to his side, and a red cap on top of his head.
*The Mail Man…?* Asked Zelda to herself, watching the man approach them.
"Go no further! There is a black wall ahead that blocks the way! I thought I would deliver a few letters, but it seems impossible… I am the honorable and dependable letter carrier, known to some as… the postman. Now that I have introduced myself, please! Take this letter and read it at your leisure! Well, my business is concluded! Onward to mail." He explained quickly, and took off before either can even breath.
Link turned his head to the princess, in a confused manner, as she did the same thing, having the same expression.
"I have no idea…" She stated bluntly, already answering the mental question that was swimming in the 16 year olds head.
Ignoring it, they walked strait to the place where the guy said he couldn't pass through. Killing off some of the foes on the way.
Before either knew it, there were already there. Midna gleefully popped out.
"Hey, it was much closer than I thought…" She happily said.
"You remember, right? You two know what this is? If you set foot there, you might be a wolf again for quite some time Link…" She roughly explained, eyeing the two Hylians. Mostly on the male.
"For at least as long as it takes for you to save the light of Eldin from the twilight, anyways… So, shall we try to go see the light spirit of Eldin? Eee hee!" She asked, snickering a little.
The two nodded.
Midna nodded equally before entering inside the bright orange and black door.
A bright orange hand-like thing came out and pulled the two in. They gave startled gasps before being pulled inside the realm.
…
Zelda felt something cold on her cheek. It was moist and smooth like leather. Zelda opened her eyes, the first thing her blue eyes caught was four pairs of whitish grey dog legs.
"Link." She muttered, pushing herself up. Yup no doubt about it, that the male had been transformed into his twilight form.
Worry covered in his recognizable eyes. He edged closer using his back as support for Zelda, despite the imp already on him. Firmly on her feet the Princess stood.
"About time you woke, Sleeping Beauty." Commented Midna as she pulled her arms backwards to a stretch. Snapping her fingers, having Link's Ordon shield and sword appear in front of her face.
;;Take it, you never know what can happen Zelda;; Spoke Link to the now taller female. Accepting them, Midna took the liberty to speak.
"Ahh, look! How lovely! The black clouds of twilight are so fetching today… I feel so much more at ease here…" She yawned, stretching her arms out again.
"-And you look so much better like this than in those dusty old clothes, anyway. Eee hee! So, let's get going!" She commented, hitting her tiny hands on his sides. He growled lowly, but ignored it as he and the Princess looked ahead of them.
It seemed calm enough, but they weren't entirely sure. They moved on trying to avoid some Twilight bats that came along their way.
Then something came across Link's acquired wolf nose. It smelled familiar,
*…Like Ordon trees…*
Wait why would anything like that smell here in the twilight? Suddenly a scared thought came to his mind…
*It couldn't be…* He dashed across, pulling his nose to full attention to the light scent.
He paused, noticing something up ahead. Having Zelda to catch up.
"What were you-" She stopped talking, as Link went slowly to the stick-like thing sticking from the trail. It looked like a wooden training sword.
Kinda looking like the one she used when training with her teacher.
The scent became stronger as the wolf approached it, without anything else he sniffed it, still fresh… the flashes came clearer.
*Talo… Malo… Beth… Colin!* He thought looking ahead of him.
"See, isn't being a wolf more convenient?" Midna said, her playful voice covering his sensitive ears.
"Use your senses! You've begun to reawaken as a wolf, I think. Eee hee!"
Zelda stared at the two, *Use his senses… Could he have…* Again the wolf bolted ahead of her. She gasped, automatically running after him.
"Link!" She called trying to run after the wolf ahead. Her blue eyes caught the next beasts, Link ran without any remorse what-so-ever.
His wolf instincts were in command at the moment, and there's no stopping him.
Zelda pushed her legs to run as fast she could, trying to catch up with him, if not she'll be stuck outside of the red twilli field. In the single moment, she made it through, just by a small string she made it in through the barrier.
The brunet pulled the sword from the scabbard, preparing herself for the fight. Using the same technique from the last battle, they weakened the first two before killing them off and not a second late instantly killed the third before its shriek could even pop from it's nonviable mouth.
Zelda pushed herself up, shaking off the black blood and placing it back inside the holder, all in the same time her violate blue eyes noticed the scene in front her.
The bridge was gone.
"What's this?" Midna gasped in dismay. "That's strange… The bridge is gone… I wonder if this is the work of those shadow creatures… Ugh… What a pain! Ah well, let's look for it… You! Get your map out." She said pointing at Zelda.
Doing so she pulled the map from her pouch. Midna snatched the paper taping it with her forefinger, revealing swirly blue symbols on the faded wrinkled paper. Each in certain spaces. Along side with it, revealed two gold arrows. Zelda figured it must be them, seeing how it's directly on Kakariko Gorge.
The twilli girl handed the map back to her, showing the Light Princess the map.
"Whenever you destroy those creatures from the darkness, a portal opens that looks like this on a map." She explained pointing at the blue symbol.
She turned to Link. "You hear me? It's called a portal. You'd better remember that!"
Zelda stared at the other female. "So with those portals we can travel anywhere, even outside of Twilight?" She asked, looking at the blue color on the map.
The Imp nodded. "And… in those woods we came through… Yes! It's got to be around there… I'll use my power to take you two, to the location of the open portal… Pick where you want to go." She offered, almost snickering from it.
Link bit back his actions, as a wolf, he was barely hanging from a thread from completely finishing off the girl on his back. Zelda touched his forehead, already knowing what he wanted to do. This had some effect seeing how the dog relaxed a bit.
The blue fairy leaned against her gauntlet covered hand, she felt it was starting to strain a little.
Link touched the Fairy with his nose, also feeling the slight tired fairy.
"Take us to North Faron Woods." Zelda said, having Navi rest on her shoulder.
Midna nodded as she created a clear force field around, making the two turn into shreds, bringing them up into the portal.
Zelda felt the sudden change of temperature instantly, both hot and cold changing to solid cool night. The sounds of the animals' silent, not including the occasional cricket sounds.
"See! I told you. We're here! You know, most people can't leave the twilight that easily. You'd better be grateful! It's your job to look for the bridge! Look hard!" She commanded crossing her arms.
The two looked around, the bridge had to be there, or at least something like a bridge had to be there.
The four pairs of eyes caught sight of the bridge, turning and walking in that direction.
Midna floated up, smirking a bit in turn. "Wow! It's perfect, don't you think? What do you think? Should we take it?" She asked her flaming eye looking it over. The two nodded.
The symbols on her tiny arms evaporated up, scattering quickly to the bridge as lighting, covering the entire thing. Her orange hair lifted up like a third arm, concentrating with her two real arms thrusting both up bringing the solid wooden bridge up. Floating in the air above her, before transforming into shreds and disappearing into the blue and black portal.
Not a second later both Zelda and Link felt themselves get turned into shards and get transported just after the bridge.
The cool night air, faded into really warm and cold air. Zelda landed firmly onto her feet. She felt light headed, blinking the feeling away, when Midna once again took the liberty to speak.
"See! Just as I thought… Eee hee! So, isn't the power of twilight amazing? Call me if you need the power again. It should help you find what we're looking for, don't you think? All right! Let's keep going!" She excitedly explained, hitting the wolf's sides again.
Wolf Link already started his way over to the other side. Zelda held her head some of the light headedness still did not go away; ignoring it she followed the wolf in his lead.
They came across two twilight monsters guarding the outside entrance. They quickly dispatched the two guards, looking directly inside.
"Huh…" Midna said quietly, watching them inside. "What are they doing there? This is a pretty elaborate gate… What are they trying to keep in? …Or out? I bet it'll be worth our while to dig in…"
Link glanced at the Princess, she nodded in agreement. With ease he dug a hole, big enough for the two of them to squeeze through.
They entered through, killing off the ones inside and moving straight ahead.
Zelda felt something contract in her chest, something was wrong, it felt cold. She paused, unconsciously moving her hand to her heart.
It was beating twice as fast.
Link ran along, hardly taking notice to what happened. He jumped in, finding the three twilli beasts inside the red barrier. He leaned down; waiting to strike the first one came along.
Taking the change he held onto the beast biting into his neck over and over, the wound getting severely bigger. He tried to shake off the canine but Link kept his hold firm. Still lethally attacking the dark beast. Eventually causing the twilight monster to die from suffocation of its own blood.
He fell limp to the ground. The others gained closer, Midna pulled her energy shield, preparing for the wolf. Link's still stance cracked jumping high, finishing off the beasts in the instant.
Like the others the portal appeared above them.
Midna crossed her arms leaning back. Her eye turning into a half-moon. "Way to leave your Princess wolfy." She remarked coldly. The transformed Hylian looked up at her.
*Zelda!* He completely forgotten about her. At the corner of his eye he noticed a female on her knees. Instantly he ran to her side.
"L-Link…" She whispered, her voice really soft. Midna floated over her, concern covered her face for her friend.
"What's wrong?" She asked, looking over the taller female's structure. Zelda moaned in pain, her violet eyes moving to her hands. The pain, compared to the rest of her body, was most there.
*W-What's happening?* She thought as the pain increased slightly.
A light came towards her. Touching her right hand slightly. The other two turned around to see that the stream of the light came from the spring nearby.
Her Triforce glowed blue and gold. Suddenly the pain faded little by little, allowing her to be able to get onto of her feet.
"Those in the realm of shadows… This way…" A weak tired male voice spoke.
Three looked at each other, but turned away starting off to the spring. Despite Zelda still feeling a little bit weak.
"…I am…a spirit…of light… Heros… Chosen by the godesess… Look for…my light… Gather the light stolen by the shadows…into this…" He tiredly explained, as a grape-vine shaped instrument floating towards them. The brunet held it in her hands, squeezing it gently.
"…The insects of darkness… They are the form taken…by the evil that attached itself…to my scattered light… In this shadowy twilight…the shadow insects are invisible, much as the people from your light world are… With the last of my power…let me mark your map…with the locations…of the tears that have turned into…shadow insects… But…be careful… The darkness…now hunts you…" He finished, before fading away back inside the water. But not before two silver chains floated towards the two, wrapping around their neck or paw. Giving them a mental image of a map.
Zelda stared at the wolf contently, before nodded at the same time.
"Let's spilt up, it will be faster to gain all the insects that way." Offered Zelda looking to her right.
Link stared, after what just happened, should he let her.
"Don't start, I let you go on, even with your injuries. I'm fine Link." She stated.
The transformed human thought, but in a way, she did let him go here, even with the injuries he has.
Sighing, he nodded, knowing it would save them a great deal of time if they do.
She smiled briefly before moving quickly to the place where the mental image told her where the insect was hiding at.
Link wasted no time, as Midna helped him get on top of the dome shaped building by his left. A similar scent covered his nose. It was coming from inside.
Were the Ordon children here?
Without much though, he walked upon the soft wood on the roof. It snapped under him. He breathed, holding his breath, preventing any of the old dust enter his nostrils. His four paws touched the ground, feeling the cold dirt ground under him.
Once he had regained his balance, he looked around, puzzled by all the floating blue fires.
*Spirits?* He thought, pushing in his acquired ability. What he saw in front of him made him wish he hadn't used it.
There in front of his very eyes where the Ordon children. All of them with a different type of scared emotion on their face.
"Cripes! I don't see those black brutes anywhere…" Said a man roughly that the transformed wolf didn't know, spoke nervously over by the window as he peered out cautiously.
"They've gotta be hidin' somewhere, waitin' for their helpless little prey to come out! Then they'll FEAST!" He continued, not removing his unseen eyes out the carved window.
"We are safe as long as we remain in here, child. Be at ease." Another man spoke up, looking at Talo for a moment noticing the fear in his eyes.
"Oh yeah?" The other man spoke up again loudly, looking over to the black haired man.
"I wonder if the monsters out there agree with you… They sure didn't seem impressed by my bombs! How long do you think we can hold this sanctuary against beasts that strong, huh? Once they attack, it's OVER!"
Talo cringed into the other man's side giving a small whimper of fear. Were they going to get killed…?
"Remember the lady from the General Store?" The man by the window continued speaking darkly, not seeming to notice the children's frightened faces.
Beth, Colin, Talo, Malo and another. One that Link didn't know. There faces grew wider in fear.
"Just one of those things attacked her, and a whole gang from town went to save her! And what happened? She was already gone, and there were TWO monsters waitin'! … You connectin' the dots? That means that if we get attacked by them, then we'll be…"
"BARNES!" The other man, the black haired male, chastised him harshly.
But already Beth started to cry, her frail hands reaching to her face. The words that he placed together had been too much for the young girl to handle.
What if he was right, what if the beasts find them and eat… them…?
There was a soft groan before a glare at the red haired male. He looked away, covering his face which showed he was clearly ashamed behind the metal mask he was wearing.
He knelt down. "Look, Renado… All I mean to say is that it's risky here, too! Ain't you got someplace we can hide?" He asked franticly.
"There is…a cellar," The one named Renado answered hesitantly.
Barnes scampered over closer quickly, flipping his metal mask up.
"WHAAT? You've got a CELLAR? Where's the entrance, man?" He croaked, his face growing desperate.
"The entrance to the cellar is designed to open when all the candles have been lit…"
Barnes scrambled over to one of the oil lamps in the room and lit it with a burning stick before falling face flat clumsily.
"…I… Would not do that," The only child that Link didn't know spoke up patiently.
"When father instructed me to secure the cellar, I saw insects like the beasts outside…"
Barnes squealed like a stuck pig, his arms windmilling crazily as he scuttled back over to the window's wall like a crab running from the nearing surf.
"Don't cry, Beth! It'll be okay!" Colin tried to comfort the crying girl where he now stood by her feet, but she pulled away from his touch and kept sobbing raggedly.
"Link is coming to save us all!"
That got her attention, she looked at him, her red eyes staring at the blond haired boy. The three who did not know the one he mentioned gave puzzled looks.
"I can feel it!" Colin said firmly, his blue eyes burning with his belief.
Talo grunted in disbelief, as though he doubted it. Which in reality he did. How could Link come and find them so easily, they were in some foreign place in Hyrule?
He really doubted it, sure Link could do a lot of things, but with how things are going, the chances of that happening were low.
Very Low.
Midna smirked, placing a hand on her hip. "These kids knew you'd come save them!" She teased, Link looked up.
"What a hero! How sad, to be right in front of someone and not be noticed at all… Eee hee hee!" She laughed, not noticing a fire growing in two blue orbs.
"You are chosen by the gods, and only that keeps you from turning into a spirit, or worse, into a dark monster, when you enter twilight. And no one knows what you have done… You may be doomed to toil in obscurity forever… You're the type to worry about everything, I can tell…but don't fret over Princess Zelda!" She mention the Princess, glowing her orange eye at the transformed wolf.
"She chose this state of affairs, after all… Anyway, what's with having to light candles to get to the basement? Not very subtle, is it… So, what are you going to do now? My lonely little hero… Eee hee!" She laughed again.
Link turned around, knocking the small imp off his back. He brought his sharp jaw on her neck. He growled low from deep in his chest, letting her know that she had crossed a line that he wasn't willing to allow be crossed.
A small yelp stuffed in her throat as she saw his piercing blue eyes showing signs of his fierce anger. Normally he was level-headed, but when something or someone goes pass at his certain emotion points, he will, like in his current form, transform that calmness into rage.
Midna did nothing; she herself knew she passed the line. Sighing carefully, she placed a hand on his front paw, and the other on his furry head.
"…I'm sorry…" She muttered. Link eyed her suspiciously before letting the small girl go.
Moving his eyes around, he saw another stick beside the owl statue. Picking it up, he place it to the burning fire, once lit he walked to the stairs around him, jumping a little in each candle to light each one.
As how the black haired man explained, the cellars' entrance opened. The statue moving out of the way.
Cautiously the imp floated over and sat on his back. He unconsciously glared but let it go as he made his way to the downward entrance.
Some deep breathing got his attention. Quickly using his senses he saw them, three insect bugs right there. Having no second thought he killed all three. Collecting the stolen light within them.
He reached the end. He barked, indicating he needed help to get up. Wordlessly Midna agreed, floating up and helping the wolf out of the dirt cellar.
They next thing they saw were tombstones. *A graveyard?* He thought. More deep breathing came to his side. There another bug was there, digging inside the dirt to escape.
Unfortunately for it, the hero was transformed into a wolf. He felt it move under his paws stepping on it, preventing it from moving, he dug it out.
It ran, Link taunted it, following, letting it escape a few times. Just as the little bug thought it was free, he killed it, squeezing the little bug between his teeth.
Midna laughed silently at his actions. "Like to play huh?" She asked, rubbing his side. The light poured out of the light stealer. Not taking anything more time, he collected the blue tear.
He then closed his matching eyes. There apart from his a little less than half of the bugs were already gone. He smiled. Zelda seemed to be getting good at it.
Moving to where she hasn't gone yet, he ran up. He didn't see the brunet anywhere. Where could she have gone, it couldn't be that hard to lose a solid form, brown haired female, wearing absolute blue. Where the only other people around were currently spirits.
Really…
Just blocking it out, he moved to the shop next to him. There wasn't a single way to get in. And the dirt there was too hard to even dig his way in.
Something was shivering at his side. Walking to the sound. He saw glass, it was old and loose. He grinned; this was going to be against his way from vandalizing.
But with Hyrule in its current state, and twilli beasts moving around, doing whatever they please, and people who are currently spirits, knowing only fear. With some madman ruling over them, instead of the calm, wise, well-known strong Princess.
This was an exception.
Sensing the next one, he moved up the rusty metal stairs, hitting the wall dropping the wooden wardrobe, dispatching the insect after. Using it as way to get out of the building. Link realized that he was now on higher ground, by doing so he moved along the way, feeling the light stealer presence nearby.
No make that three.
Climbing his way over further, he came across a shack-looking shelter. Entering inside, from the small hole beside, he entered. The scent of gunpowder and fuel covered his dog nose.
Wiping it briefly with his paw, he gathered inside more. A small fire was burning beside the entrance.
The deep breathing got louder, and found the three inside the fireplace, covered behind fire wood. Picking up the stick, he burned it, placing it with the other wood.
They lit, but as they did the three escaped, all burning with the fire. They hit the walls, which unexpectedly lit with the fire.
Three eyes widened in shock. The whole place was burning in a large flame.
…
Zelda pushed herself down careful to do a roll down the deeper part of the ground. She sighed, rubbing some of the brimstone that was still on her. It was actually a good thing that the Gorons were spirits otherwise they wouldn't have let her inside.
She knew they were a proud race and wouldn't tolerate with humans or Hylians easily.
But the real problem was the unexpected explosions. Just what was causing that? From what she learned, that even if it was a volcano it was rare that it would do that. When she was collecting the light from that area, flaming brimstone, dried bolder sized molten rock was falling all around. Almost getting flattened by a large long burning stag thrusting down to the floor.
It had missed her by a few inches. She sighed in relief; it was indeed a very close one…
She glanced at the grape vine shape vessel. Squeezing it carefully in her gloved hand. She still needed the lights that were deep inside. But how was she going to.
Moving farther along she noticed three twilight beasts. There was no way she could fight them all in the same time. She was going to need help on that. Sighing in defeat the brown haired female moved her way back down. Feeling Link's presence down by a building she recently passed.
She sighed again as she made a run for the village. She knew Link & Midna would get the remaining ones in the village.
She jumped onto the small platform besides the building. Noticing the broken-now gone window, with the glass shards spilled over the ground.
*This recently just happened…* She thought. Her violet blue eyes spying the broken pieces. Jumping inside she moved her way up the metal stairs and climbing out the rectangular hole and out the building.
Something was burning. The smell of lit fuel and wood instantly covered her small nose. She looked at her side the building right there was covered in smoke and flames.
Her eyes open slightly, then squinted, someone was there. She examined them, they were really a she who was floating and had dark skin and red hair.
*Midna!* She thought, running up the steps. Also noticing a wolf exiting outside of a dug hole; the small twilli getting on his back. The two noticed the arriving Princess.
;;Get Away! It's About To Explode!;; He figured spoke to her still running away from the burning building.
She didn't need to be told twice, as she quickly turned and ran behind the canine.
Then something hit her, it was a hard one and squarely on her backside. She fell, as the shock wave from the explosion knocked her off her feet, landing onto her stomach. Link flipped over in mid air, landing painfully on his long back, having the imp girl fall onto the hard dirt floor beside him, just a little close to the edge. Her dark arm dangling off the side.
The brunet peeled her face off the ground, feeling a small pain on her cheek. She touched it, a scrape. Wasn't bleeding, but was stinging in pain.
"Are you two alright?" She asked, glancing at the other two.
Midna watched the other, floating off the ground, "We're fine." She answered; her voice strangely soft.
Link opened his eyes, picking himself onto his four legs. He moved closer to the Hylian Princess, touching her hand with his cold snout. She smiled, rubbing his furry head with her hand.
That moment, three soft sounds emerge from behind. Three of the blue tears where floating over. The princess stood up, walking at what was left of the building, collecting the three.
Link then emerged besides, letting the lights he collected float above him. Scoping them up, the vessel was now almost full. Just four left.
Agreeing on the next decision, they made it to what seemed to be a watch tower; they entered and killed off the small insect taking the stolen light.
