"So, the child and Hero have escaped into the Twilight?"
Clarence kneeled before Azela. Her hair blew around wildly behind her in the Twilight Realm's mid-day breeze. She no longer wore the Twilight garb that others here wore. Now she was wearing long dark blue robes with golden tassels hanging off of the end of a slender leather belt around her waist. Her stoic posture mixed with the serene look upon her face to create look that made even Twilight Messengers shy away. Whether it was in fear or disgust of the odd malevolent creature, no one could figure out.
"Yes, my master." Clarence bowed his head and watched his white bangs fall in front of his face. He didn't like this. His master was acting too calmly; she was taking this news of failure too well. This kind of situation usually ended with spilled blood, and it was usually the servants.
"Not that I expected anything less. That boy is an enigma; his abilities grow with every encounter. And the Hero isn't to be underestimated either." Clarence nearly fainted in relief as his master started meandering around the room, swaying her hips exotically while she thought. He wasn't fond of the way she kept everything to herself. It made it hard to carry out her orders. "I've decided!"
"Master?"
"You will go with Dax and Sharon to Zora's Domain. There, you will find the Queen of that race and bring here. She is strong and I must have her power for myself. I will go with some of the others and…" Azela paused, turned toward Clarence, and continued to saucily saunter her way around the room. "I will set a trap for him. I will see for myself this power he's found and I will take it with his life." Azela clenched her fist as she rasped out her final musings. Clarence bowed his head lower in submission, his white bangs falling even further over his face.
"Yes, Master."
The dusk of twilight had fallen over the village nestled in the foot hills of Death Mountain. The foreboding silence that reigned over the shadowy village was broken only by the ambling of the Twilight Messengers as they moved down the street. They were sent by their master to route out any resistance and generally keep watch over their Lord's domain.
Then it happened. The sky split open in a jagged gash above the Light Spirit's spring. It slowly spread wider and wider, like two fingers were probing inside a wound and were pulling it open. Light poured forth, pushing the twilight back beyond the edges of the spring as the water refracted the light and repelled the shadows.
The Twilight Messengers reared up, shying away from the new light. They raised their arms to shield their armored heads and they cried out in shock as well as a bit of fear. From that hole in the sky dropped eight figures. Then, just as quickly as it happened, the hole closed up.
When the beast soldiers of the Twilight lowered their ungainly arms, they saw eight oddly dressed men. The clothing they wore was nothing like the Twilight King's minions had ever seen. The eight men wore full body suits that were composed of some kind of black material that held snug against the skin. It even covered their faces and over their eyes they wore a set of goggles that gave off an eerie green glow. Around their waists was some kind of utility belt and clutched in their hands were strange rectangular contraptions that emitted a red beam from the point.
Several of the men pointed the red beams emitters at the Twilight beasts. This spooked them and caused the beasts to run off, something that was not missed by the spirits haunting the inside of Renado's house. They watched the bomb proof beasts scramble through the village and down the path that would eventually take them to Western Hyrule Field.
One of the newcomers tilted his head to the side before he held his hand out. He extended two fingers toward the entrance to Kakariko Gorge and two of the men behind him sprinted down the pathway. He pointed at the other end of the village, in the same direction that the Twilight Messengers scurried, and two men sprinted through the village. He pointed along the tops of the canyon walls and two men took off, climbing as fast as they could up the walls of the canyon.
Then the leader started moving forward with his red beam emitter shouldered and pointed forward. He went up to Renado's house and pulled open the door. As he walked in he pointed the red beam emitter left and right, sweeping the house. Though the house looked empty, except for the few floating balls of spirit fire, the man's headgear revealed that there were in fact people inside of the house, not spirits. Two men, two little girls, and three small boys.
It didn't take long for those inside of the house to comprehend this strange creature with glowing green eyes and a contraption that emitted a red beam at whatever he pointed it at. He could see them. The point was made all the more clear when the man pointed at Barnes' head with his contraption and motioned for him to move. Barnes, his knees shaking, scrambled for the back door like the coward he was. Renado and the kids were quick to follow. The spirits fled into the Kakariko Graveyard, Renado looking back with a disturbed and confused look before he continued.
"Nice going, boss!" Another man walked into Renado's house casually, his rifle casually slung over his shoulder.
"Shut it, Mckinsey. Find out where they went. I don't want to spend more time in this hell hole than I have to. I want to find this anomaly and get the hell out of here."
"Yes sir!" Mckinsey jogged after the spirits, shouldering his riffle as he went.
"Lieutenant Tracey!" The leader of the squad of men spun around, facing the soldier that ran into the house from the village. "Lieutenant Tracey. We've confirmed the location of the target. It's heading in this direction and will arrive in this village within the hour."
"Very good. Set up a perimeter and-"
When I saw Link being transformed into a wolf for the first time, I wondered what exactly he went through as his entire body transformed. It looked painful. It sounded painful. And now that I'm here and feeling the same thing, I know, it is very painful.
"Haaahh!" I tried to cry out but the most I could manage through the body wracking pain was a suffocated sigh. When the pain of what felt like being burned away with a thousand blow torches had faded, I collapsed onto the ground. My breathing sounded and felt like rubbing sand paper on a piece of coral under water. But the majority of the pain was gone. Dear God that hurt.
I grunted as I pushed myself up. I wonder -Ouch, my arms feel like they're not there- what I transformed into. I don't feel like a floating spirit. And I can't be a wolf because I don't have a piece of the Triforce and I really don't feel wolf like. What is wrong with my arms!?
I kept trying to push myself up, but I didn't get anyway. When I opened my clenched eyes to look down, I saw why my arms weren't doing what I wanted them to; they were near-see through and were currently buried in the ground as my arms passed through the dirt. It took five seconds for what I was seeing to click with the rest of my mind.
"Ahhh!"
"Feh! Took you long enough to wake up." I twisted my neck to look up at Midna floating impatiently above me. "How can you sleep in perfect weather like this?" After looking about at the dreary and nearly dark conditions, I gave Midna a screwed up face. How can she think this is good weather? It looks like the world died and the entire place feels like a graveyard, which is fitting considering what I've turned into. "Why do you dawdle? Get up already, we don't have time to waste waiting for you."
Sighing exasperatedly, I shouted, "I've turned into a ghost! I'm a freaking Imp Poe!" Midna however was unfazed. I tried to push myself up again, but only succeeded in writhing about on the ground. Link, who was in his wolf form, was standing a bit farther down the pathway. He was sniffing a broken stick that was lying on the ground.
"What has your current state of being got to do with anything? Now, be a good boy and get up. You will be useful should I need you." Midna giggled and floated over to Link before she dropped down onto his back, making him yelp and growl in surprise.
I'll get up just as soon as I figure out how to not make my arms and legs sink through the ground. I tried pushing on the ground again, but still, I got no traction. In fact, I sank even deeper into the ground. This really sucks! Midna growled impatiently. "You really are a stupid one, aren't you? Focus your mind and push yourself up into the air! Idiot!"
She could have told me that sooner! And she could have been nicer about it! Arrg! I sighed as I let that anger go. It's not worth it. She's just-
"Hurry up, idiot," Midna sing-songed, "or you'll be left behind…"
She's just asking for it, that's what she's doing! Damn! And I thought Shion was bad… Shion! I looked around me as best I could and then spotted a purple-red glow coming from inside of the lantern attached to the bottom of my body. I've got no legs! Oh man! This new form really sucks. At least I found the annoying fairy. Sure, he's happily sleeping in that lantern thing where my freaking legs should be.
Midna cleared her throat. I looked over at her sitting on Link's back and she looked back at me with her arms crossed and her one eye twitching every now and then. She needs to take it easy. I sighed again. Fine, fine, I'll try it your way. Man, she's got to be bipolar or something. Alright, calm the mind and push up into the air. After concentrating for several seconds and making my ethereal head hurt, I opened my eyes to find myself floating in the air.
I… I'm floating. I'm flying! Weeeeee! I laughed internally at my mental ramblings and my own giddy silliness. I've always wanted to fly! Now… how do I move while floating? I looked up and watched Link carrying Midna away as he ran down the pathway. "Wait! How do I move?" I hovered in mid air for several seconds before I got my answer.
"Idiot," she sing-songed, "we're leaving…"
Alright, it's official. Midna is a horrible teacher! Thank God I'll never have to learn anything from her! I closed my eyes and concentrated again. I kept thinking 'Move forward! Move forward!' over and over again. I peeked through one of my eyes to see myself slowly moving forward, but not fast enough. Move faster! Move faster! This time I felt my ethereal body shift into high gear as I shot forward out of my position like a bat out of hell, which might not be that uncommon here in the Twilight.
I quickly caught up to Link and Midna sitting in front of the missing bridge that connects the two sides of the Kakariko Gorge. However, there was something different about this situation than there was before. The bridge wasn't just missing, but the gorge was much wider. There were some more rocks jutting up from the dark depths as well.
Oh crap, I'm about to fly past them. Stop! Stop! Stop! I concentrated on stopping and slowly grounded to a halt next to Link and Midna on the edge of the now much wider gorge. Moving around in this place was a lot harder than it was outside. It was like moving through molasses that had the viscosity of tar.
Looking over the much larger pit, I offered up my well thought out and scientific opinion, "Well that's not good."
"You catch on quickly for an idiot," Midna jibbed. "I wonder if this is the work of those shadow creatures… Ugh... What a pain!"
"Wow, Midna, did you figure that out all on your own?" I should not have said that…
I was slammed into the ground before I'd even finished my last thought. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt. Maybe being dead is a good thing after all. Then after I though about it for a few seconds and watched my whole body drift into and out of the top soil, I concluded that, No, I was right, this sucks.
"If you've not anything particularly useful to inform me of, don't speak!" With a satisfied glint in her eye and a disgruntled smirk on her face she leaped back onto Link's back. He certainly didn't appear to enjoy when she did that, at least, not as much as she did. "Ah well… Let's go look for it. You!" Midna pointed at Link. He turned his doggie head toward the errant imp floating above him and tilted it to the side. "Get out your map!"
A map? How is Link carrying a… map… I watched as Link leaned over to the side and started scratching his shaggy mane, causing a paper scroll popped out onto the ground. How in the hell… What just happened!? How is that even possible?
Using his nose, Link unrolled the paper until a map of Hyrule, at least the parts he'd explored, appeared. I floated over to look down at the map while Midna explained to Link what each of the glowing symbols meant as they appeared on the map. I just ignored her because I already knew what they meant. The paper looked old, but it exuded something that made it look like it was glowing. That's gotta be the magic. I can see magic then, cool! I guess there are some benefits to being a wandering spirit, though not many.
"It appears that they left the warp portal open. How nice of them…" Midna floated in a little circle while thinking. While she mused, I looked up into the sky and saw the swirling mass of Twilight energy. This place is far too dreary. It looks like the inside of some kind of depressed suicidal person's mind. I miss the sunlight. I miss home. Worst of all, I'm bored. I looked over at the confused duo. I guess I'll help them out. After all, if this were still a game I'd be figuring it out anyway. Heh… if this were still a game. Was it ever a game?
"Since the bridge is gone and you guys are about to go look for it, I'm going to go ahead and make sure the kids are alright." Midna and Link turned to me with suspicious looks. Not this again… "The missing bridge should be in North Faron Woods. Midna, you and Link can warp there and then bring the bridge back. In the mean time, I'll float over there and check out the village. That way when you get back, I can let you know if there's an army waiting to grind your bones to dust and all that jazz. Besides, I'm tired of waiting around here and I'm sure I'd just slow you two down with the searching."
After taking a moment to think it over, Midna nodded. She went over to Link and pointed at him. He suddenly exploded in a multitude of little black squares that was then sucked up into the Warp Portal above. Before Midna went herself, she turned to me. "I hope you're right about this. I don't appreciate being led on wild cucco chase."
"You're the one who said not to speak unless I had something useful to say." Midna clenched her hand and was about to replay but I went on. "Besides, if the bridge isn't there, then it's been moved by the witch. If that is the case, then even I wouldn't know where it is and you'd end up looking for it anyway." Midna eyed me carefully. I shrugged. It's not my choice if she believes me or not, but I had hoped by now that she would. "Good luck." Midna snorted and then warped herself, stretching out until she disappeared completely.
I shrugged and looked around, realizing what I'd actually volunteered for. Uhh… oops. I was completely alone. I guess I'll just do what I said I was going to do. But next time I won't suggest going off on my own. Who know what'd happen if the witch showed up now… Alright then, move forward! Move forward!
I slowly made my way over the enlarged gorged. Once on the other side, I followed the dirt path toward the large ad hoc gate that the Twilight Bulblins had put together. I hovered next to the ground as I approached the gate. I stuck my head over the edge of the gate and looked to see what was waiting on the other side. Two Twilight Bulblins stood side by side, guarding the entrance to the canyon that held Kakariko Village.
Okay, these two don't look too smart. Actually they look like they'd lose a spelling bee to a wooden post. It should be easy to distract them so I can sneak by. But what do I use… I looked around for anything that I could use to distract them, but the only thing I could find were two twigs and a glowing bug. Great… I guess I'll just have to take them out. I floated up and over the gate, brandishing my scythe, hopefully in a menacing way. I stopped right in front of the two guards and waited for them to make the first move.
The two Bulblins looked at each other and then at me. One of them scratched its head and the other folded its arms. I just stared at them, waiting for one of them to make the first move so I could react and go ape on them. What are they waiting for?
"What arrrrre you doooooing?" the Bulblin to my right squeaked in its scratchy high pitched voice. I blinked. It talked to me. Why aren't they attacking me?
"Arrrren't you suppppposssssed to be on Death Mounnnntain?" It took me a few seconds to put two and two together. They think I'm one of their own Poes… Maybe I can take advantage of this.
After clearing my throat I responded in a gravely voice that I imagined an Imp Poe having. "I'm going there, yes. I'm supposed to relieve the… uh… other guy. He hasn't been meeting his… um… soul quota, yeah, and the master wants me to pick up the slack." I looked back and forth at the two Bulblins as the thought it over.
"Coooome to thiiink of it, that laaaaazy Poe has beeen shirking his duuuuties lately" the Bulblin on my right said to the other.
"Aaaaand we've had to piiiiick up the slaaaack," the other Bulblin said back. Then he turned to me and grunted his approval. "Goooo give that buuuuum a Dark Wooorld of paiiiiin!" Hahahaha! That was too easy! I nodded and saluted with my scythe as I floated past the two Bulblins into the canyon.
"Stoooop!" I froze. Could they be onto me? "Dooon't go throooough the village. Straaaange creatures are there. Saferrrrr to gooooo around." Strange… creatures. They can't mean the Twilight Messengers, they're on the same team. Who could make the Twilight creatures retreat? I continued on anyway, intent on seeing these strange creatures for myself.
"He's craaaaazy," said the first Bulblin.
"I've seen wooooooden posts with more brrrrrainsssss," said the other.
Link materialized in the clearing just outside of the Forest Temple. Midna failed to appear so he started looking around on his own. She'd be along shortly. He sniffed at the ground, smelling a variety of things. He smelled Bulblins, other dogs, people, birds, horses, and a host of other such things that a dog's nose can differentiate between without much effort. What stuck out the most was the scent of Twilight magic and Bulblins. It led up to a wall of trees where a depression had formed in the ground.
As Link sniffed around the depression, he caught the distinct smell of the same Bullbo that carried the Bulblin leader. The same one who kidnapped Illia! Now completely absorbed in his sniffing, Link failed to notice the two Twilight Messengers that appeared in the same clearing. It was when he caught the scent of the wooden bridge that used to rest in the depression that Link was grabbed by the massive hand of one of the Messengers and thrown across the clearing.
After rolling to a stop, Link sprang up, adrenalin coursing through his veins. Damnit, where was Midna when he needed her. He snarled and leaped at the nearest Twilight beast. It was a tumultuous battle. Fur and Twilight flesh flew. When it was all done, when the carnage was finished, Link stood on three legs in the middle of a bloodied clearing, holding his fourth leg up off of the ground.
The Twilight Messengers' remains exploded in a cloud of black squares that were absorbed back into the portal above. Link limped out of the clearing toward the small shop run by that bird. When he reached the entrance, the bird squawked loudly before flying off, screeching about crazed wolves and not being paid enough.
Link hopped up as best he could to the edge of the large pot containing the red potion and started lapping at the foul tasting fluid. After drinking as much as his stomach could handle without heaving, Link hopped down, immediately feeling the effects of the magical fluid throughout his body. By the time he'd hobbled back into the clearing he was completely healed.
Link went back to sniffing the small depression and found that the scent of the bridge was still there. If he used all of his senses at once, Link found that the scent created a pathway in the direction of Hyrule field. Suddenly, several more Twilight Messengers accompanied by a few Keese appeared from the Warp swirling slowly above. Springing into action, Link fled from the monsters chasing him and simultaneously followed the trail into the miasmatic bog between the temple and the rest of the forest.
"This is not North Faron woods." Midna crossed her arms in annoyance as she floated above the throne of the Zora. Below her all of the Zora that should have been running and swimming about were trapped within a frozen pool of water. "I do not like this one bit. When I get back, I'm going to skin Valian. I wonder why the Portal transported me here though… Perhaps this witch that Valian spoke of, the one that was watching us in the Forest Temple, is to blame. No matter, I'll just transport back and try again."
Midna closed her eyes and continued to float above the frozen pool of Zora soup. After several seconds of commanding the magic to work and listening to the whisperings of the power reject her orders, Midna started to growl. "What is going on? Warp me, now! I command you to work correctly!" Why was her Magic not working? After listening to the power's whisperings for a few more minutes, Midna shouted, "What do you mean the way is closed?! The way cannot be closed, that is impossible. I demand you open the way and let me pass now!"
After attempting for several minutes to fruitlessly warp, Midna gave up with a huff. Sulking, she flew over to the throne and sat down on it. If the magic didn't want to work, she'd have to either wait till it did or fly back on her own, which would take too long, several days at most. Basically, it meant she was stuck in this frozen domain until she figured out what was wrong with the magic.
"I see that you are stuck here." Midna was unfazed when the specter of the late Zora Queen materialized in front of her. She'd sensed her presence when she first appeared here and decided to ignore her. Now, as the Zora Queen had so eloquently put, she was stuck here.
"So it seems." Midna wasn't one who enjoyed sitting idly around. "Tell me, do you know what could be interfering with the flow of magic around here?"
"My knowledge of the magic around my kingdom was great when I was alive. But since my death, I've lost contact with magic. I know nothing of what has changed except that Twilight has fallen over my domain. I am sorry."
Midna waved it off nonchalantly as she slung her legs across the arm rest on one side of the throne and leaned her helmet covered head on the other. How she hated this body. How she hated Zant, that thieving king. She didn't have time for sympathy; she needed to figure it out as soon as possible so she could get back to collecting the Fused Shadows.
As impatient as Midna was, she was easily showing how good at masking her emotions she truly was. While thinking over the multitude of things that could have gone wrong she began to doze off. She'd just about fallen asleep when there was a loud noise from the frozen hallway that lead to the rest of Zora's domain. Midna sat up and stared like a wild animal that knew it was being stalked into the shadowed cavernous entrance.
"Clink!"
"There it is again." Midna leapt into the air and floated halfway into the throne room, directly above the center of the ice pit. Few things made Midna twitch in anxiety anymore, as she was now. Most of the anxiety had been blown violently out of her when Zant had taken over. There were only two things that still had that kind of power. One was fighting, which could be passed off as the thrill of battle. The other was being hunted.
Midna turned to the Zora Matron. "I suggest you hide yourself. Not many people come to a grave such as this place has become to look for the living." The Queen's specter nodded before vanishing into the Twilight. Midna clucked her tongue behind her teeth; things weren't going according to plan.
The noises gradually became louder as whoever it was made their way into the deepest parts of Zora's domain. From the sounds that they were making, there were possibly two or three of them. And the clinking denoted that at least one of them wore some form of metallic armor.
Those two Bulblins were right. There were strange creatures in the village. At least, they'd seem strange to people who'd never seen or played Ghost Recon before. Thank heavens for all those years of what I thought was wasted youth.
I'd slowly made my way through the village. These soldiers had apparently made their base within Renado's house. Not only that, but the entire village was deserted, except for the soldiers. It took some getting used to, but I was able to slip by them by fading into and out of the canyon walls. The first time had made my stomach, or whatever I now have, do something like the Tango. Rose in teeth and everything.
By the time I'd finished scouting out the village, there was only one place I hadn't checked yet, the cemetery. I left Barnes' bomb storehouse and made my way toward the wall. I had to dive into the ground when one of the soldiers appeared and started scanning the area. Luckily he didn't see me.
I made my way to the graveyard, diving into bushes and abandoned houses. I even absorbed myself into a sign post, which might not have been a good idea because one of the soldiers decided to kick said sign post over. After finally making it to the graveyard entrance, I breathed a sigh of relief. Who knew all this cloak and dagger stuff was so exhausting in real life. I may be a ghost but that doesn't mean I'm naturally good at this stuff.
I entered the graveyard. There' doesn't seem to be anyone here…
"Get back! Creepy ghost, get back in your grave!" I suddenly felt a stick crash into and pass through my head and body, leaving a cold, tingly trail behind hit as it went. I turned around and came face to face with the ghostly form of Talo as he slashed and sliced me with his stick. I stood there, or rather, floated there for several minutes letting him do as he pleased. He sliced through my head, cut through my arms, diced through my fingers, and poked through my eyes. But nothing worked. "Arrg! Why won't anything kill you?!"
"Maybe it's because you're using as stick," I said flatly. Talo growled and squeezed the stick in his small grasp tighter. Then he went wild, swinging away with the stick until he sat on the ground exhausted. "You know, if you used your head, you wouldn't have wasted all your energy trying to hit me with a stick that goes right through me."
"Grrr! I'll get you, you stupid ghost!" Talo stood up weakly and started to slash at me again with the stick.
"Ugh! This is getting old." I held out my hand and the scythe that I'd learned to make disappear, reappeared. When Talo brought the stick down and through me once more, I quickly sliced and chopped it in half, making a neat and tidy thunk sound. "There, no more stick."
Talo looked at the stick that was left in his hands before he ran away screaming. "Waaaaaaa!" He ran all the way to the back of the graveyard, up the stairs, and to the back of the upper level. Well… maybe chopping it in half was a little extreme.
I slowly followed in Talo's footsteps and when I reached the top of the set of stairs I found the rest of the wayward Kakariko refugees. Renado was sitting cross-legged with his back straight and his hand resting in his lap forming a small circle. The kids, Luda, Colin, Beth, Talo, and Malo were huddled behind Renado's broad back. And Barnes was trying to hide behind the kids but kept looking over everyone's shoulders to shiver in fright at the sight of me. Also, there was a distinct green wall of filmy energy that shimmered between me and the others.
I never saw that in the game. I wonder what's going on. I floated next to the wall of energy and tapped it. The wall stuck to my finger and when I pulled my finger back the energy pulled back with it until it snapped back and caused several rings of waves to spread across its surface. That's kinda cool.
"Is it gonna get through?" I looked at Talo as he huddled next to Beth and Colin. He was clearly frightened. Hehehe… maybe I should give them a little scare… eh, maybe not, they've been through a lot.
"Fear not child," Renado said, though he kept his eyes closed. "Evil creatures are unable to penetrate this barrier."
"Hey, Renado, if that's true, then why did that one just come through," Barnes screamed shrilly and pointed at me. I'd just pushed my way through the strange greenish barrier. It felt like sticking my head through a rubber wall, but I made it through none the less. The looks of concern I was getting, as well as the teary, terrified eyes, made me feel that by going through the wall I'd broken a law of physics and crossed the barrier from nightmare to reality at the same time.
"Uh… hello." I waved. They all stared at me, unmoving. "I take it you've never seen a nice ghost before?"
"I take it you must be a nice ghost then?" I nodded to Barnes' question.
"Yep, sure am. I am traveling with Link after all."
"You know Link?!" shouted Talo, Beth, and Colin at the same time.
"If he said he knows Link and he was able to pass through the barrier then that mean he isn't a bad ghost," Malo said under his breath.
"I see," said Renado slowly, opening his eyes. "You know the one these children speak of with such admiration." I nodded. "That is good. How then did you take the form of a Poe?"
"That isn't as easy to answer. Hmm…" How do I tell them without revealing too much? Maybe I should go with that oracle thing again… no, who would believe in a dead oracle. I'll just say I'm cursed. "I'm cursed. Link's been cursed too, but he's out there right now finding the way to break that curse. When you get to see him next, he'll be back to his normal self, and hopefully I will be too. Right now, I just came to see how you were doing and to scout out the village before he got here. It looks pretty bad in there." I motioned back toward the village.
"Yes, our village was attacked by the shadows at first. And most recently, these strange man-like creatures with glowing green eyes took over the village."
"And they had these strange boxes that they held in their arms that made some kind of red light shoot out," Talo added excitedly.
"Yeah, I noticed that. Well, at least you're all safe in the mean time. I'm not due to hook back up with Link for a little bit, do you mind if I stay here for a while?" I watched Renado think it over. Barnes didn't look like he trusted me too much. The kids looked guardedly enthusiastic about my idea.
"I haven't any qualms if you stay here. I just hope you've been sincere." I nodded and floated down to the ground. I guess with the way things are, every one is on edge and doesn't' want to trust anyone too easily. How can I blame them being surrounded by Twilight? I wonder how that search for the bridge is going.
Well, that was fun. I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter. Please Review, if you do, you get a Zelda shaped cookie...
Thanks for reading!
