I'm gonna go ahead and take advantage of spring break before the weekend, gonna be very busy, to squeeze in another chapter for the week!

Whoooo...

Evi's POV

Midna's method of getting us out of the temple was a little strange. Like my body was falling apart, then reforming back together. It didn't hurt or anything, but I was sure it was going to be something I wouldn't be able to get used to. I had to close my eyes the whole teleportation so I wouldn't throw up, but when I did open my eyes, I noticed we were back at Faron spring.

"Heroic Link... Do not think that Hyrule is now saved from the spread of twilight..." echoed Faron's voice

"I don't. I know there's worse twilight outside of these woods." Link assured.

"Then leave these woods and go to the east, where you will find the land protected by the spirit Eldin."

I thought about that name for a while. 'Eldin'? Wasn't there a stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl named something like that?

"There you will find those you seek... But know that these lands lie in twilight... They are now a dark realm covered by the clouds of dusk." he continued.

I was beginning to wonder how many times someone would explain how there's so much twilight and then mention the words 'dark', and 'realm' in the same sentence. Or pretty much repeat anything they've already said. I was up to a count of at least seven or nine.

"If you set foot beyond the curtain or twilight, you will revert to your beats form, so be prepared." he warned.

I turned to Link. He would become a dog again? There's no way around it..?

"Yes, I understand that.." said Link, a hint of disappointment in his tone.

"Hero chosen by the gods... Leave these woods and go to the east, to the land of Eldin." echoed Faron's voice once more before fading into the soft blowing winds.

Ten repeats. Check.

I looked to the floor, noticing Link's shadow suddenly grow long and witnessed Midna popping out. Is she gonna nag again?

"That's better. Searching should be much easier now. Eee hee!"

If she wasn't supposed to help me, I would have choked her by now.

"I guess that's good news for you. Wish I could say the same for me." Link muttered.

I pat his back to cheer him up a bit, "Oh come on, it can't be all that bad. I mean, you get to have super hearing, you can see stuff the average human can't, soft fur, and a bushy tail! I kinda always wanted a puppy..." I laughed at his sudden smile towards my random sentence, "And, even though you might not like it, I don't think there's any way to get around it. It's only for a while, so that much is good news."

His smile grew wider, "Yeah, I guess I should be glad I won't be stuck that way."

(A.N.- Oooh foreshadow.. :3)

"And don't worry, when you turn into a beast again, I'll take good care of you." said Midna.

I laughed, "When the sky falls."

She seemed a bit ticked off but ignored my comment afterward, "Well, first you need to head over to the land covered in twilight. Then I'll help you out. Eee hee hee! See you later!" she laughed before sinking back into Link's shadow.

Link turned to me, a puzzled look on his face, "The sky's not gonna fall, is it?"

I laughed slightly, and assured him not to worry about it, "So how about we head out? Sounds like we got a long way ahead of us."

He nodded, and we walked away from the spring, and back to Coro's small area. I didn't get a real chance to look at the place before, since I was being held against my will, but it was actually a nice place. A small house in the corner, a burning fire for warmth. Reminded me of camping, oddly enough.

"Hey it's the Ordonian and his girlfriend!" called out Coro as he saw us passing by.

I heard a small snicker from below Link and quickly stepped on his shadow.

"Ow! What the hell!?" shouted Midna.

Coro looked suspicious, "What was that?"

Link jumped slightly and looked at me for help. My palm met with my face in a quiet little smack of 'Are you kidding me?'

"What was what?" I asked back, shrugging as if I hadn't heard anything.

"Never mind, probably just the wind again."

I was going to thank someone for Coro being so simple minded, but then I began to wonder what the hell the wind has been telling this guy.

"So, where you headed?" he asked, smiling.

Link looked relieved to the change of subject, "Hyrule fields." he looked towards a pair of locked gates ahead, "You wouldn't happen to have the key, would you?" he asked, seeming impatient now.

Coro handed him a small rusty key with the head of a cog, "Here, just be careful. There's a lot of monsters out there. That's why I locked them gates."

Do I smell an eleventh check?

Link nodded as he walked towards the gates, I followed, "Don't worry about it. We'll be fine." he said, unlocking the gates and dashing for the outside as soon as they opened with me in arm.

"You gotta admit, that guy is weird." I said as he set me down when he was sure we got far enough.

He groaned, "I know. And I hear he has sisters.."

I looked around for a bit and quickly noticed familiar fields. The vast land of Hyrule Field. It looked so nice in it's normal green state, everything was so..alive.

"It looks so much nicer outside of the twilight..." I thought aloud.

Link looked, at me puzzled again, "You've already been here? When did you leave Faron Woods?"

That's right, he must have thought I was in Faron Woods the whole time..

"I guess I should tell you what happened in the twilight..."

He looked a bit confused, but encouraged me to speak.

"Remember when that black beast first dragged us into the twilight?" I asked

He flinched a bit at the thought, "Yeah, I remember.."

"Well, I ended up here, in Hyrule Field. Well, not exactly HERE, but you get what I mean. So, I wandered for a few hours. I was lost, I mean come on, these fields are huge, and if you don't have a map, consider yourself a dead man. But, then I found Hyrule Castle Town! It was amazing, stores everywhere, a huge fountain in the center, and Hyrule Castle itself only a few feet away. The only bad thing was...everyone was.." I broke off.

"Spirits." he finished for me.

I nodded. I noticed Link's shadow grow a few inches, but nothing appeared. Guess she was only listening this time.

"Well, as I was saying, Hyrule Castle. I was curious as to what was happening, because I didn't know about spirits before, so I went to Hyrule Castle, to seek help from Princess Zelda."

Link's POV

I lightened up as I heard the princess's name.

"But when I got to the doors that lead there, this weird guy with a huge metal fishy mask and long black and green robes was blocking the way."

Didn't Zelda mention someone similar..in a way?

"He explained to me what had happened to the people of Castle Town, the twilight. I asked him why he hadn't helped them already, the twilight obviously had no effect on him." her voice grew dry.

I looked at the floor as Midna's head popped up. Was she interested in this conversation?

"And, what happened?" asked Midna in the calmest tone I had never heard from her.

Evi looked surprised that Midna wasn't yelling, looked thoughtful for a while and shivered, but soon spoke up, "I quote, as he said exactly.." her tone a lot different than the amazed tone she held while describing Castle Town, more...frightened..

I was starting to worry, she was shaking, and she was looking paler than she usually did. Was the encounter with that guy what had made her so nervous?

Her lip started to quiver, and I set a hand on her shoulder, "You don't have to push it... This guy scares you, doesn't he?"

She shook her head, shaking away the though of it frightening her, "I didn't understand him at first. I though he was just some crazy bastard... I should have brought this up sooner!"

Midna fully come out from my shadow, "Calm down a little, what did this guy say? It's very important that you tell me." she said, sounding more serious than she ever had in the few hours I've known her.

"I would help them. Had I not been the one brought this upon them." she finally spoke, breathing deeply right after.

Mdina's calm face quickly twisted into anger, and her tiny hands balled into fists. She turned he head and seem to spit out an inaudible name, venom on her tongue.

"Something wrong, Midna?" I asked, being the nice guy I was.

She turned to me and growled through her teeth, gave me the cold shoulder and sank back into my shadow. What was her problem?

"East." said a smile voice in front of me.

I looked back up to find Evi giving me a worried smile.

"What?" I asked. Stupid question.

"Let's head east. We can talk about this later, right? I think there's someone waiting for us there.." she said, pulling my arm as she lead me through the field.

I smiled at her attempts to put her fears aside her and stopped her. She looked at me questioningly.

"How about I take us east? I have a map. And besides," I smirked, pointing at the direction she was taking us in, "That's west.."

Her cheeks glowed a light red and she let my arm go, hiding her face, "A map sounds like a good idea..." she muttered under her breath, as I now pulled her towards our destination.

Gah! Sorry guys, I said no more short chaps, but I DID IT AGAIN!

I just really wanted to get an extra chap in here and I didn't have a lot of time, but I think it'd be better if I left it at this, anyway.

So, big scary fish guy has been brought up once again, and Midna seems to know who he is but won't spill details. Oooh...

Well, as you all know, this is the end of the chapter. I will update again next week, not as frequently as this week, but I will update.

'Till then!
