~Thank you
Amaterasu didn't waste a moment, she leapt into a sprint and be-lined it for the exit of North Ryoshima. Link followed short behind her, panting to keep up after his long run.
It had to be Oni Island, and this was her chance to make things right. If she could even call it that, 'making things right'. So much was already lost. Now Hyrule was under attack_ all because of her...
Amaterasu's thoughts began to race, -where did it appear? Was the castle under attack? Was there even ocean in Hyrule that it could appear on? As she ran, a fretting voice caught Amaterasu in her thoughts.
"Ammy, should we really be helping Hyrule? We still need to stop and find Oni Island!"
Issun didn't get it. He never heard Ordona's warning. Not to mention, he could be very slow when catching onto things.
He would see, he would understand. Amaterasu told herself as she ran through the gate, passing the two guards with Link on her heels.
"Amaterasu, do you know something about this?" Link asked as they ran to the portal.
She clenched her teeth, her face tightening, eyes narrowing in hurt. It was hard to tell Link that this mess was on her to blame. But she would never lie, especially not to Link. He deserved to know the truth.
"I'm sorry Link..." She began quietly. "But this is all my fault!" She finished with gritted fangs.
Link's eyes widened in shock as they came to a sliding stop in the light which beamed down from the darkening sky. Just as he was about to question her, the light enveloped around them, pulling them up and out of Nippon. The beam shot down from Hyrule's twilight colored sky and lowered them gently down on the grass. Amaterasu immediately jumped ahead, not hesitating a moment.
"Amaterasu!" Link called out to her.
She came to a sliding stop and just stood there as if she was suddenly frozen. Her small but quick breaths the only movement she made. Link trotted slowly up behind her, and padded to her side.
"How is this your fault?" He asked gently.
Amaterasu ears dropped down as she lifted her head to look in Link's eyes. His dark pupils and blue irises on hers, gentle but full of eager question.
"If I had just listened... I was so stupid and ignorant, and I didn't make it on time." She explained, eyes full of regret.
She clenched her teeth in a snarl and looked ahead. "But it doesn't matter, the only thing I can do now, is stop Oni Island!"
"Is that what it's called?" Link began. "Oni Island?"
Before Amaterasu could answer, Issun's words brought her running to him. "Whoa!" Issun began as he jumped up and down beside a strange rock with a hole in it, which was at the very edge of the cliff.
Amaterasu came beside Issun and followed his gaze. Out beyond the lake, on the opposite side of where they were, was Oni Island. It stood wide and tall on the land which flattened on top of the cliff that surrounded the lake. Tall and huge above the lake, it must have crushed everything when it moved there, and it most certainly blocked the road which Amaterasu would use to go to the castle. It seemed so big, that it being there looked as if it destroyed the stone bridge which crossed the lake. Or perhaps the Dark Lord's minions destroyed the bridge_ Amaterasu wasn't sure. She recalled seeing a colorful little house up on the cliff, but Oni Island must have crushed it too. Amaterasu hoped with all her heart that whoever lived there, was okay.
"Furball you little genius! How'd ya know Oni Island appeared in Hyrule! Looks like millet dumpling are in your stars after all! Gee, we are really lucky to have found it again." Issun added while making his way back on her head. "But isn't it weird how it appeared on land instead of the ocean?"
Amaterasu replied with a quick bark, but she couldn't take her gaze off of the massive mountain shaped Island from across the lake. It looked like a demon from the outside, it even had tall peaks of stone which resembled horns. Though Amaterasu recalled Himiko saying that it was a fortress. Was the outside of it an illusion? She couldn't help but to keep staring out at the island. Its orange glowing eyes glaring back at her. A constant reminder of her failure.
"Amaterasu listen," Link began, pulling her attention to him. "I know there must be allot to explain, but there's no time! I have to get the castle to change form. I'm no good as a wolf," He explained quickly.
Amaterasu dipped her head in understanding, and listened as he continued.
"And I must speak to Zelda, and make sure the castle isn't under attack! Amaterasu, are you willing to help me stop this... Island?"
Amaterasu shook her head. "Link, This was my fault, I should be the one to stop Oni Island. You go to the castle, I will be the one to shut it down!"
Link frowned in response. "Hyrule is my home Ammy, I'm not going to stand back and watch you do all the work. I'm helping you no matter what!"
Amaterasu then knew now that she wasn't going to convince him otherwise. They might as well stick together, and she honestly wouldn't want it any other way. "Then I'm coming with you. We'll be safer together."
Link nodded his head in agreement. "Okay."
They hastily ran to the edge of the cliff and jumped down.
Link went first_ landing with a slight grunt in front of the ladder which went up the rocky wall. Amaterasu landing neatly beside him.
"Link, have you already encountered demons from the island?" Amaterasu asked as they hurried down the bridge.
"Yeah," He replied quickly as he started into a run. "They were around the lake."
"Hmm..." Amaterasu pondered quietly.
It was just as she had thought. It pained her to know Link had to fight her battles. She cursed herself for her terrible mistake, but she would fix it. Amaterasu promised herself that she would. She owed it to Himiko, all of Nippon, and Hyrule. If only Link wasn't so stubborn, he didn't deserve to have to fight the battles of Oni Island.
As they made it to the alternate path which lead to the castle, there wasn't a demon in sight. They paced quietly and snuck around the corners of the cliff pathway, but there were no visible threats. This helped ease Amaterasu's mind. Perhaps they didn't attack the castle yet? maybe the demons_ like herself, were confused on why they teleported to somewhere completely different. Amaterasu hoped that they were. It would most likely slow them down on when they attacked.
The wolves sped up their speed and hurried to the castle. After seeing absolutely no demons, Link decided it was best that they pick up their pace. Taking the long route to the castle had certainly sapped their time, but they had no other option.
Even after distancing themselves from the island, it never left their awareness. They could feel it's demonic power flooding the land, it's evil presence never leaving Amaterasu or Link.
As they ran across the grassy field, Amaterasu suddenly felt a drop of water on her nose. When she looked up, she was surprised to see dark clouds beginning to cover up the already dark sky. Amaterasu wondered: if she failed in stopping Oni Island, would Hyrule ever see another day again? The rain began to fall in heavy blankets, and their fur was soon soaked in wet mats. A lightning bolt cracked, and thunder boomed after it. This reminded Amaterasu of the night she fought Orochi. She remembered it being cloudy and stormy. Were times of great trouble always like this? Dark and rainy?
Link hadn't asked any questions while they ran. He probably would have, but after all his running, and fighting from earlier, he was rather tired and wanted to reserve his breath. Amaterasu would tell him about it soon enough, he just had to be patient. Despite his bearing, he couldn't help the questions which raced through his mind. Why was Amaterasu calling it an island? Why was this 'her' fault? And how were they supposed to stop it? He didn't know what was going on with this island, but he prayed to the three goddess's of the Triforce that Amaterasu knew what to do.
The wolves soon pushed through the doors which lead to the castle town, there was no sign of danger from outside, but they both were concerned on what they might see inside the walls. Especially Link.
Their concerns were not met.
Things looked rather normal for a rainy day. Apparently the common folk couldn't sense the dark power.
"Come on." Link began as he continued forward on the street. "We have to quickly run to the castle before we're noticed without our collars."
Link's words reminded Amaterasu that she didn't have her collar on. Neither did Link. He was right, they did have to hurry through town.
They both leapt into a sprint and pushed through the few people that remained in the town square. The stone ground was slippery, and it made Amaterasu come to a sliding, slippery stop before the castle door. Link came up behind her and stopped very gracefully in comparison. Amaterasu then pushed through the castle doors. It seemed the armored guards which stood before the doors didn't notice their missing collars. They were obviously getting used to 'Zelda's dog' and his 'friend' coming in and out often and didn't take note of it.
Amaterasu shook her fur_ to an almost dry state. The smell of wet wolf-goddess lingering around her. Link stepped in after and also shook his fur. They quickly started forwards, their claws scraping against the clean marble floor, with dirty wolf prints following behind them.
They ran up the stairs and made a turn to the tower which spiraled up to Zelda's room. They paced quickly up the stairs with quick panting breaths and damp fur. The only light source on the spiral stairs was the lit torches which illuminated the way up with glowing orange light.
They quickly pushed through the doors which entranced Zelda room and came to a stop before the Princess.
Zelda's blue eyes immediately narrowed on Amaterasu. Ammy held the Princess's gaze. Zelda's eyes made their way to Link. He nodded his head briefly in reply, confirming her guess that he wanted the Master Sword.
"Hey toots!" Issun greeted happily. "We've come to talk to you about the little, uh_ disturbance?"
Zelda turned around and walked over to the wall where the master sword hung. "I would hardly call this a little problem."
Her cold, and agitated tone was sent chillingly to Issun. "Heheh... Uh, right." He swallowed nervously.
Zelda handed the sword to Link who immediately pawed at it to change form. Luckily after he changed, he was no longer wet from the rain. In his green outfit, clean and dry.
"Zelda, we came beca_" Link was suddenly interrupted by Zelda, as she began. "I know why your here." She cut off. "I could feel the evil presence as soon as it came. Amaterasu. Is this evil fortress from your world?"
Amaterasu swallowed, and gazed unblinkingly back at Zelda. The Princess let out a sigh, and turned around. "Amaterasu I have come to understand, that you... Do not have the knowledge of closing the portal, but, I' am disappointed that it has come to this." Zelda stated firmly.
Amaterasu sat down on the hard floor of the room and stared solemnly ahead of herself. Lost deep in thought of the troubles she had made. Feelings of sadness and failure resurfacing from earlier. Issun also stood quietly on her head, not a word to him.
There was a moment of silence until Zelda began. "Would someone please explain to me what is going on, and just how this happened. I must know to address the situation..."
Issun began to bounce once again as he cleared his tiny throat. "Well you see toots. It's not exactly a fortress, it's more of an island, and..." Issun began to quickly inform Zelda on what happened.
Her and Link listened closely as Issun filled them in on the current events of Nippon and all of what happened. He briefed them on how the priestess Rao tricked them, and how he and Amaterasu were too late to save the queen. Issun told them all he knew about the island, and answered any questions Zelda and Link had asked. Many moments passed before he finished.
"I see," Zelda began quietly after Issun completed his explaining. "Amaterasu, may I ask why you kept coming back to Hyrule when you clearly had much to do in your own world?" Zelda asked suspiciously.
Amaterasu face flushed, and she bent her head down. It was because she wanted to see Link. It was always about Link. Wasn't it? Even when she went back to feed the animals, in the back of her head she knew that she wanted to see him too. Her ears sagged as she looked at the floor guiltily.
Zelda watched her reaction curiously, not knowing what her body language was suggesting.
"In any case," Zelda started. "You have to be the one to stop this evil. I will stay here and guard over the city. Link, I suspect that you are going to help her?"
Link nodded his head in turn, and began. "Yes, this is obviously a very dangerous situation and I'm sure she could use the extra help."
Zelda acknowledged this. "Good, helping Amaterasu will only stop this sooner. But I must warn you Link, when you go on the island, perhaps even just near it. Its dark power may transform you back into a wolf, like the power of Twilight."
"Do you really think it would do that?" Link asked, sounding surprised.
"Yes I do." Zelda answered. "Though having the form of the beast may not be such a bad thing in this situation. You and Amaterasu would have a much clearer communication."
Amaterasu barked in agreement, and Link began to pace with uncertainty, thinking hard on this new information.
"There is another thing. Something you should all know" Zelda started again.
Link stopped his pondering and listened carefully to Zelda. Amaterasu and Issun's attention also moving more firmly to her.
"I'm sensing a very concentrated amount of evil power coming from the Gerudo Desert. It's as if a great deal of the island's strength has moved there. I would investigate in this matter first." Zelda finished.
Amaterasu looked at Link, not knowing a thing about this desert, and how this made any sense. She really just wanted to get on Oni Island and stop it as soon as possible. But she knew better. Link would obviously listen to Zelda, and she wanted to stick with him. Amaterasu scolded herself for wanting to be with him for more than safety reasons, but then he wasn't going to be a wolf, she felt different towards him when he was a human, it definitely wasn't the same. He was still her friend either way though, sticking with him was the smarter choice.
"We will, Zelda, but are you sure you'll be okay here, by yourself?" Link asked. His face full of concern.
The worry Link held for Zelda, it jabbed Amaterasu in the strangest ways. She felt almost angry for a second. Or even jealous? Was that what this was? Or did this serve as a reminder on just how different they were. He wasn't truly a wolf! How could she feel that way about him? She could not feel angry about his concern for Zelda, Amaterasu then quickly decided to take it as a good expression on just where they stood, how different Link and her truly were. Yes things should stay like that, Amaterasu concluded quickly within her mind.
"I will be fine. You two must go now, it is only a matter of time before an assault will truly begin." Zelda hastily replied to Link.
"Hey don't forget about me!" Issun butted in angrily from Ammy's head.
Issun's nagging voice pulled Amaterasu out of her personal thoughts and brought her back to what really mattered. She had an Island to stop!
"Bah, whatever! Don't worry baby, we'll shut down that island!" Issun added as they prepared to leave.
"I pray that the light spirits will guide your paths." Zelda wished them as they started out the door.
Issun chortled. "That's what good-old Ammy is for toots!" His voice growing quieter as they began down the tower.

Link, Amaterasu, and Issun quickly made it out of the town. The rain had not ceased and the streets were as slippery as ever. When they made it out to the field, Link called Epona for assistance in travel, Amaterasu was happy to see the horse again, but she hardly showed it. The rain was coming down too hard and they had no time for small talk.
Link now riding on Epona since he was human again, Amaterasu at her heels. They traveled at a light jog, unable to go faster through the thick and loud storm. They were now headed for the Gerudo Desert, or Great Desert_ where supposedly evil forces from Oni Island were swarming. Amaterasu was clueless on why they would leave the island and gather in some remote desert, but the demons were cunning and always had a dirty trick up their sleeve. Perhaps there was more to the desert than Amaterasu knew. When she thought on the matter a little more_ wasn't that desert the place where Link's friend Midna departed from Hyrule and went back into her own realm? Amaterasu didn't think that had anything to do with this, but it was a thought which suddenly shot across her mind. Maybe the desert wasn't as remote as she thought...
Eventually Link dis-mounted Epona. He landed beside her from the saddle and patted her neck as she startled from a boom of thunder. Unfortunately Amaterasu was unable to ask on why he stopped.
"It's okay Epona." He muttered to her through the storm. "You can go. Find shelter!" He waved his arms to get her going, and she ran off. The sound of her large hooves barely audible through the rain.
"Huh, why'd you do that? Don't you want her for traveling?" Issun asked cluelessly as Epona ran out of sight.
Link shook his head. "No, I don't want her getting hurt. Besides the storm is so bad that she isn't helping me go any faster." Link replied.
They continued their trek over the gentle but slippery hills of the Hylian field, making their way back to the lake. The rain still poured and night had fully fallen, they were all soaked to the bone. Except for Issun. He held firmly to the stem of a large leaf which served as a rain-blocker as he sat on Amaterasu's head, seeming very pleased with himself for his genius idea. But his smug smile was soon wiped away when a gust of wind blew the leaf from his small hands.
A slight grumble escaped the poncle, but he complained no more. He was just angry that he was fully soaked within the second.
The moon was full and at its brightest, even through the thick of the clouds and rain, its silhouetted glow shown strong through it. Thunder cracked in the sky and a bolt of lightning struck yet again, its intense light visible through the clouds. When they finally reached the lake, the Island's Orange glowing eyes were easily spotted through the haze of the storm. The rest of its large shape was barely visible. Yet something unsettling caught Amaterasu's attention. A cloud of red and black which looked almost like smoke trailed from the island and went out to the tall and flat land which resided high above the lake.
"Link, look!" She barked as she pointed her nose in the direction of the red and black cloud coming from the island. She suddenly remembered that he was human, her words merely came out as a bark to him.
"Hmm?" He questioned as he looked in her pointed direction. He found the red cloud quickly, and it confirmed Zelda's thoughts on the evil power being in the desert. It was clearly trailing in that direction.
"Huh! Is that what toots meant? Evil power coming from the island and moving someplace else?" Issun asked as he bounced up and down on Amaterasu's head.
Link nodded and looked down at Issun. "Yes, and it's definitely going to the desert."
"Wait," Issun began. "You're saying the desert is up on those cliffs? How do ya suppose we get up there?" Issun asked sounding baffled.
Link's arm reached out as he pointed to the little shack with the multicolored roof of tin. The building which the strange slouched over man, known as Fyer lived.
"Umm, isn't that where the giant cannon is?" Asked Issun through the pouring rain.
Amaterasu cocked her head to the side and wiggled her ears. She wasn't following what Link had in mind.
Link's head motioned up and down in a yes, as he began. "The cannon will shoot us up to the desert."
"WHAT!" Issun shouted out. "Are you crazy! It'll blow us to bits! C'mon blue eyes, you can't be serious!"
Link sighed. "It's perfectly safe! I've used it lots."
Issun crossed his arms stubbornly, and looked away. "I don't need to try it to know what will happen. You wanna save Hyrule right? Well how are we gonna do that if were blown away!"
Amaterasu shook her head. Arguing was wasting time, she trusted Link. They were using the cannon. she brushed ahead of Link and started across the bridge which lead to the colorful little shack which held the giant cannon.
Link's mouth gaped slightly open in surprise, as she trotted up to the cannon. It's as if she didn't have a second thought about it. It seemed she believed him on that it was safe.
Link couldn't say the same for Issun though.
"Ammy! Stop! This is nuts, were going to be blown up!" Issun protested as he jumped frantically up and down on her head soon realizing it was futile.
"Gah! Furball, when we all die, I'm going to wring your thick furry neck in the celestial heavens!"
They approached the man, who was known as Fyer. He was dressed most oddly, colorful make-up painted on his face. A large belly that stuck out from his pink shirt. Blue pants with pink hearts sewn on them. His eyes bulged and his mouth seemed to be plastered in a frown. His ears sagged low, it all gave him a rather miserable look. He seemed to be surprised to see a person out in the terrible storm. He peered behind Link and noticed Amaterasu, but taking no note of Issun.
"Well what brings you here fella! Must be pretty desperate to get a cannon ride, if your coming in this weather, eh? Hehehe." He laughed gruffly as Link approached.
"Listen were in a hurry. Me and my uh... Dog, need to go to the Gerudo Desert. And quick!" Link told Fyer through the pouring rain.
"Alright, alright!" Fyer said as he raised his hands up. "But ya gotta pay up before I let you in." He explained with a greedy twinkle in his eye.
Link rolled his eyes, ruby hungry as ever. He handed over a sum of rubies, Fyer's face lit up in a crooked smile. He stuffed the shiny gems within his shirt and walked over to a lever which stuck out from the shack.
A large circular metal door lifted up from the building. It looked as if it weighed a ton, heavy bolts and metal making the door up. Amaterasu had to admit, Hyrule had some very strange things.
Link stepped in the door and beckoned to Amaterasu and Issun to come. Amaterasu followed with Issun on her head. As soon as she was fully inside, the door slammed shut, complete darkness enveloped her, Link and Issun. At least it was dry. Amaterasu shook her fur before settling near where she thought Link was.
A strange cheerful sounding music began to play from outside. Did it have something to do with the cannon? Ammy had no idea, but it was rather odd. Before long the place that they were in, shifted and it felt as though they were being risen up. They were suddenly knocked back and forth within the cannon, Amaterasu had a bad feeling that this wasn't going to be pleasant.
"Uhh, is this normal!" Called out Issun from her head.
Link stumbled around, trying to get his footing. "Yes, it's completely safe." Link reassured him.
As suddenly as ever, they were blown forcefully from the giant gun. They whizzed through the rain filled air and flew high up. Issun was clinging to Amaterasu's fur for dear life. She was no better. But as soon as it had started, it was over. Amaterasu came to rough landing in the course sand of the desert, she was very grateful that her wound from earlier was healed. Link was not far from her, and Issun still clung to her head, tighter than ever. No one moved for a few moments until Link stumbled over to them, still shaken from the landing. Even Link would admit. It wasn't a great pleasure using the cannon.
Amaterasu got up on her paws and shook all the wet sand from her fur. Her white coat was now stained a dirty light brown from the wet and dirty desert.
Issun let go of her fur and rolled in a circle with his big beetle hat. Amaterasu nudged him with her paw to see if he was okay, sure enough he jumped up, glowing a hot red.
"Pah!" He spit out a few grains of sand. "Blue eyes, we are never doing that again! You're lucky that you won't have to face the wrath of my trusty sword Denkomaru!" Issun spat again as he jumped back on Amaterasu's head.
"Dang that was not fun! Furball, why do you put me through this stuff?" He asked pitifully.
Amaterasu shook her fur and whined quietly, she didn't much enjoy it either, but when Link said that they had used the cannon, she trusted him and there wasn't time to waste. It certainly wasn't the first time she and Issun had done something out-right crazy.
Amaterasu then looked up at the sky, trying to find the cloud of red and black smoke. The rain still came down hard, but when she squinted her eyes, she could just make out the trailing cloud of ominous evil power. She could even feel it around her, just like Orochi's cave or where she fought Crimson Helm. A power that made her fur tingle, and her spine crawl.
Her attention traveled to Link who was also looking up at the sky. When she saw his drenched clothes, and how his green hat flopped down from his head, she felt bad that she couldn't draw the sun. When she tried it just wouldn't appear, Amaterasu assumed it was from the curse Oni Island put on Hyrule, but it made her feel wary and powerless.
Link didn't need to mention that; he as well saw the ominous cloud. They all knew that one another saw it and they began trekking though the desert. The rain finally calmed down some, and eventually all of the clouds passed to reveal a bright moon. Even though the night was now bright and clear, the evil power still lingered and the black-red cloud hovered above their heads. It seemed the evil power would not budge until the Island its self was removed.
Amaterasu glanced around, her amber eyes scanning the desert. She had never seen one before. Nippon didn't have a desert, she had never imagined that she would ever see one, but she had seen allot of new things in Link's world. As she looked around, she spotted something that put her full attention on it.
Amaterasu jumped in a fighting crouch and growled out at a haunted looking archway, which ghostly smoke and dark power twirled around.
Link snapped to what she was doing and pulled his sword from its sheath. He ran to Amaterasu's side and looked down at Issun who was on her head. "What's going on?" He asked the poncle.
He wasn't sure what the gate thing was, but if Amaterasu thought it was bad then he assumed it was something to do with the evil fortress island.
"Darn those demons!" Issun huffed from Ammy's head. "That thing is a 'Devil Gate' blue eyes. The demons from Oni Island must think that they can start taking over. Well we'll show them, Won't we Ammy!"
Amaterasu roared out at the devil gate in agreement.
"Heheheh, better stay out of this one, Link. Furball and I got this!" Issun stated as he whipped out his sword.
Link rolled his eyes, Issun seemed to think he was useless. Being a wolf all the time around Amaterasu and Issun didn't help. He was much more capable as a hylian. He hoped that they would see that he could be just as useful as them.
Before Link could think anymore, Amaterasu leapt at the gate. Link hurried in after her and before he knew it, they were surrounded by some magical barrier. Three monkey like creatures jumped down before them, and leapt to attack. Link slashed one with his sword as it jumped at him, the Master Sword making quick work of it. Its body fading away, and sinking into nothingness as it hit the sandy terrain.
As he looked to see where Amaterasu was at, he saw that she pummeled two of them into the ground with her weapons that he could not see, but the imps that she destroyed didn't fade away. Instead; they bloomed in clusters of colorful flowers. He had never seen the goddess in full action, but he was glad he would never face her in a battle. She was sweet and overly friendly, but when angry, she seemed to turn into a ferocious warrior.
They made short work of the few more imps which jumped at and tried to attack them. The strange barrier disappeared in a flash. The Devil Gate, was no more.
Amaterasu shook her fur and slightly swayed her tail.
That was easy enough. She concluded to herself.
She walked by Link and continued following the black cloud which still lingered in the sky. Link sheathed his sword and eventually took the lead.
They soon made it to a temple of sorts. Link explained to Issun and Amaterasu that this was where the mirror of Twilight once stood, but his friend Midna who he once knew, destroyed it as she went back to her world of twilight. When Issun asked why she destroyed it, Link explained; that he believed she destroyed it to keep both worlds safe from harming each other.
The three continued towards the temple, but as they got near the entrance. The noise of a fight could be heard. They hurried inside and anxiously glanced around within the dark area surrounded by tall sand-stone walls. In the center of a circular area, was a strange little creature who floated in the air.
In a sudden flash, a green colored imp was thrown across the room from a giant orange arm which seemed to extend from the strange little figure's head. Amaterasu could tell that whoever this little creature was, was a girl. Though it was dark, the shape of her body and her scent told her so.
"What the heck?" Issun fretted out. "Did someone just throw that imp from across the temple?" Issun stopped his bouncing and stood still a moment, squinting his eyes to try and see just what was happening.
The figure was small and stubby, her head looked too big for her body, and it seemed as if she wore no clothes. It was so dark though, so Amaterasu could hardly tell. The large orange arm retracted back to her head, and now looked like a funny orange ponytail.
The masked imp hit hard into the wall leaving a large crack in the stone. It's body faded away, and the last remaining imp was soon destroyed by the little floating human-ish looking elf thing. It was clear to Amaterasu that she wasn't from Nippon, so maybe Link knew what was going on?
Amaterasu glanced up at him, but she surprisingly found his face to be utterly shocked. His mouth was gaping open as he stared at the little creature, but his eyes drifted to something else.
Amaterasu followed his gaze and her eyes fell upon a large circular mirror looking thing that was emitting some sort of power. Was that the Mirror of Twilight Link had told them about? Wasn't it destroyed? But as Amaterasu looked closer she realized that the mirror looked as if it was made of a hundred broken shards. As if it was poorly put back together from being shattered. Amaterasu was now utterly confused. Just what was going on?
The little stubby human like creature hovered herself around and looked at them. Half her face was covered by a strange helmet which looked as if it was made from stone, it also made her head look allot bigger than it was. Her eye which was actually visible, was bright yellow with a dark red iris.
Link shook his head in confusion. "Midna?"
