Author's Note: Hey everybody just a word or two before I begin, sorry I haven't updated in a long time, I've been a bit busy looking for work. As for the next few chapters, they will be written by me since Skye is busy. Well with that said, let's get started shall we.
Chapter 9: Back to the Realm of Light
Link and Sheik watched as Midna slammed a guard up against a wall with her Twilight Powers.
"Ekki laafa mig endurtaka sjaalfan mig Twili…" Midna spoke in the words of the Soolestur language. Both Link and Sheik looked at each other in confusion as she spoke. Even Sheik with her Triforce of Wisdom could understand.
"Translation?" Link mouthed to Sheik. The female just shook her head.
"I am about as lost as you are Link." Sheik said crossing her arms.
"P'ar hefur svikari tekiouo vinir vopn mitt?" Midna concluded walking menacingly towards the guard. The guard gulped and closed his eyes.
"Vinsamlegast Princess ekki meiouoa mig." The Twili said. Although Link and Sheik couldn't understand the words, the tone in his voice was pleading. Midna chuckled.
"P'aa tala eouoa p'arf eeg aouo hafa uulfur minn heer rifa p'ig til slitur?" Midna said motioning at Link, while triggering the wolf transformation.
"Hey what the h-…" Link was cut off as his mouth was replaced by a wolf's jaw. Sheik laughed.
"Well we know who'll be in control of this relationship." Sheik chuckled. Link again flipped her off with his eyes. Sheik patted Link's head.
"There there, be a good doggie." Sheik joked. But Link had finally clued into what Midna was doing and snarled at the guard.
"Hetja af Soolestur?..." The guard was silent for a moment before realizing that that the wolf before him was the same person who had overthrown Zant no more then a month ago. "…Vopn eru ii geymslu herbergi ii kastatalum…p'aouo a'tti ekki aouo vera erfitt aouo finna. Havaouo meouo oull verouorir liggja ii leyni ii kring. Vinsamlegast Princess p'uu verouour aouo fresla ass fraa reglunni sinni…aftur." The guard said. Midna now not only content with the whereabouts of the weapons. But also confused about the last part of the sentence set the guard down and allowed Link to transform back. Once he was back he glared at Midna.
"You know I should be in control of that!" Link joked. But Mida didn't answer.
"Midna, you ok?" Link was now concerned for his love and walked up placing a gloved hand on her shoulder tenderly.
"Aftur?" Midna whispered to her self. If couldn't be him could it, he had died when she was very young. Suddenly footsteps brought both Light Worlders and both Twili back to reality. The guard looked at Midna.
"Fljoott skipiti minn kemur…fara nuuna!" The guard said opening the door he was guarding. Midna looked at him as she and Link walked past. Followed quickly by Sheik.
"P'akka p'eer." She said softly. The guard nodded.
"P'eer vel Princess." And then he closed the door behind him before his replacement turned the corner.
Now inside the castle, Midna looked around.
"He said that there was a storage room with a lot of Twili walking around it, and that held your weapons Link." Midna said. Link smiled.
"Glad you understood him I was lost." Link said. Sheik couldn't help herself.
"Well you better start learning, if you're going to help rule someday." She said, bringing a chuckle out of Midna. Link felt himself go red and glared over his shoulder at the Princesses.
"Shut up Zelda." Link said hissing her real name. Soon Twili voices could be heard. Glancing around the corner Link say twenty to thirty sword and axe wielding Twilight Beasts stalking around an open door. Looking past them Link say his weapons sitting neatly a on a table.
"Ok, I just need something to fight with." Link said to himself, noticing a Twili Broadsword sitting up against the wall. Link shrugged and picked it up. It was no heavier then his Master Sword, and definitely not as heavy as the Ball and Chain he had once used. Swinging it once or twice to get a feel, Link looked at Sheik and Midna.
"Think you can keep up?" He teased. Sheik smiled.
"Let's see who has the most kills at the end. Ready?" Sheik said jumping up to the rafters.
"Go!" Link hollered getting the attention of the Twilight Beasts who charged Link's way. Before entering the fray herself, Midna rolled her eyes.
Light Worlders she thought to herself before throwing balls at energy of at the Twilight Beasts. Link slashed one or two down with his sword, before finally busting through the line of defense to the room. He turned and threw his sword at another Twilight Beast, cutting it down. Then he gripped the Master Sword and charged it up releasing a Great Spin. Ten Beasts fell to the flaming arc and he jumped and performed an ending blow on one that Midna had knocked down. Finally the last few fell to Sheik's throwing knives.
"Well final score, me fifteen, you ten. Midna…twenty?" Link said in awe. Midna brushed her locks out of her face.
"Oh come on you know you love me." She teased, but Link saw through her mask. She was tired, exhausted. Turning around Link first reequipped himself of his tools consisting of the Clawshots, Bow and Arrows, and Boomerang, then he focused on the vision of Ordona Spring and with a slash of his sword, opened up a portal. Together the three walked through in silence.
Once Midna's feet hit the spring, her knees finally buckled, she finally could rest. Before she hit the ground Link scooped her up in his arms. Then he looked at Sheik.
"I'll take care of her, you go back to the castle. Once Midna is rested up her and I will meet you there." Link said. Sheik nodded. Together the two walked back to Link's house, once there Sheik transformed into Zelda and pout her travelling cloak on.
"Be safe Princess." Midna said shallowly. Zelda smiled.
"You are strong Midna, you will get through this. I will see you both soon." She said. And then she was gone. Midna looked at Link who was still carrying her, and smiled floating her way up to Link's porch. Link met her in an instant shooting up with a Clawshot. Midna traced a hand over Link's face and Link held her hand there. Link could sense a presence behind him and smiled.
"Alright guys, come on out." Link said. Soon Talo, Malo, Beth, Colin, and Ilia were standing at the base of the porch. Even though Midna was tired, she smiled at the children.
"Link is she?" Ilia asked. Link nodded.
"Yes, this is the one who aided me in my quest to save you guys and Hyrule. This is the Twilight Princess. Midna." Link said. The children gasped and all bowed. Midna chuckled.
"You may all rise. I am not your Princess, no here I am in the same class as you and Link." Midna said, resisting the urge to speak in Twili, in the month she had been separated from Link, she had reverted back to her old ways. The children rose their heads, but Midna felt dizziness overcome her. Link swiftly caught her and helped her to her feet.
"You can all visit once the Princess is able." He said then he took Midna into his house and placed her on his bed.
"Where will you sleep?" Midna asked. Link pointed to the rug on the floor.
"There, it can't be any different then the cold ground. Or in the case of Snowpeak, the frozen ground. For now just rest my Princess, I will be here if you need me." Link said kissing Midna's forehead and watching her pass on into slumber. The first peaceful slumber she had had in a month. Link smiled and just sat there watching her sleep, taking in all her beauty.
"She really is beautiful." Ilia's voice softly came from the back of the room. Link looked over her shoulder and saw his best friend standing there.
"Yeah, indeed she is." Link said turning back to Midna. Ilia smiled and placed a pillow and sheets beside Link.
"Here, I kinda figured you give her your bed so I brought these over. And dad says if you need anything to help her out. The villagers are willing and able to help, she did after all help you save us." Ilia said. Link didn't move his head.
"Thanks Ilia." Then he yawned. Ilia sighed.
"Don't work yourself to hard Link, your only human." Ilia said. And then she was gone, and Link as well succumbed to sleep. His head resting soundly on the edge of the bed where Midna slept.
Another Note: Ok from now on any conversation between Twili and Twili will be in their tounge. And for those of you who feel like a challenge. Try decoded what was said. And Twilirupee thanks for teaching me the code. See if you can decode it as well.
