Chapter 10: Friends in Light
"Havouo? Huun hefur sloppiouo?" Elric demanded slamming his fist down on the arm of Midna's throne. The Twili kneeling before him trembled in fear, but nodded.
"Jaa herra, virouost tveir ekki Twili brutust hana uut uur fangelsi." The guard said. Elric sneered at the guard, and dismissed him with a wave of his hand.
" Leyfi meerTwilip'uup'joonaengum tilganginuuna,haldafoustuaugunuut fyrirPrincess. A'ttihuunaouo fara aftur, komahennifyrir meer." He growled. The guard bowed shakily.
"Jaa herra. Eins og p'uuvilt." The guard said backing out of the room slowly. Once he was gone Elric once again took off his mask.
"P'uu munt ekkistoppa migii p'etta sinn,Midna." Elric said leaning back into the throne that wasn't his.
Midna awoke the next morning, still a little worn out from the past month's events. But even so, she looked around for Link. The green clad Hero was nowhere to be seen, but then she heard a very familiar sound. 'Link must have gotten up early and went out to train.' She said as she stood up and stretched. Then she walked to the door and opened it up, letting the light of the world shine upon her beauty. It wasn't so bad, she had thought at one point, especially since Zant had exposed to her to the light of Lanayru. She had been dying, but Link and Zelda had saved her. And for that she would never forgot. She looked down from the porch and saw Link roll behind a scarecrow he had made and performed the Back Slice. She just watched him lovingly. Link sat down for a moment to catch his breathe.
"Aw is the little Hero all out of shape?" Midna teased floating down to him. Link smiled.
"I think I let myself go to much. With Hyrule in peace, I wasn't sure if I would be needed again." Link confessed Midna chuckled softly and was perched in his lap in an instant.
"Listen Link, I'm sorry that I put you through all this." Midna said softly. Link looked skyward and sighed.
"Why did you do it Midna, why did you break the Mirror?" Link asked, it was a question that had been haunting them since they parted. Midna looked away.
"To be perfectly honest, I don't know to this day why I did, I guess I blamed myself for Zant and Ganondorf and I wanted to try and make things right." Midna said looking away from the feral blue eyes she loved so much, the feral blue eyes that now stared at her. A tear trailed down her face. Link smiled.
"Midna you, nor the Sages, did nothing wrong. It was Ganondorf and Zant, and I took care of both of them." Link said rubbing the Twilight Princess' back. Midna sighed.
"Yes, but now you need to fight another battle that you shouldn't need to. But Link, I want you to promise me one thing." Midna said turning to face him. Link smiled and trailed a hand down her face.
"Anything." He said, his voice barely a breath, they faces were just inches apart now. Midna closed her eyes.
"Promise me…" She never got to finish that sentence as her and Link met in the middle, pressing their lips in a loving kiss. Link wrapped his arms around Midna and held her tight, Midna did the same.
"We aren't interrupting anything are we?" Rusl's voice broke the silence. Link and Midna pulled away embarrassed and Link rubbed his head sheepishly. Looking up Link saw Auru, Ashei and Shad who were standing there hand in hand, which surprisingly didn't shock Link one bit, and Rusl were standing near the base of Link's house.
"Uh no, n-not, n-not anything at all." Link said his face a bright red. The group laughed, including Midna, who muttered something under her breathe in the language of Twilight, Link and the others looked at her. And she blushed.
"Sorry, I keep thinking I am home." Midna said sheepishly. Link chuckled.
"Uh hello, a, it's light out, and b, you're not in prison right now, thank the goddesses." Link said giving her a quick peck on the cheek. Shad walked up to the Twilight Princess and knelt before her.
"So this is one of the fabled Twili, what a magnificent specimen." Shad said. Link chuckled.
"Anyways." Link started helping Midna to her feet as he stood. "What are you guys doing here?" Link asked. Auru smiled.
"The fifth member of our party should be here momentarily." Auru said. Suddenly a shadowy form jumped down from the trees, and quickly formed into Sheik. Link and Midna smiled.
"Hello Sheik." They both said, in perfect unison, which freaked the group standing in front of them.
"What?" Link asked. Sheik shook her head.
"Don't you two ever do that again." The Princess turned Sheikah said. Link and Midna finally caught what had startled them and chuckled. As Ashei, Shad, Sheik, Link, and Midna laughed, Auru turned to Rusl.
"Shall we go to your place to discuss the matter at hand?" Auru said. Rusl nodded, and by now everyone realized the elders of the group were talking.
"Come, we shall go sit in place, and the Twilight Princess can tell us her tale." Rusl said leading the way, the group followed him, Midna walked close to Link, who wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer.
