Blue
Blue hoped he could become a hylian again very soon. He was getting hungry, and his rabbit tendencies gave him a strong craving for vegetables. He had no wish to find out what Gray was hungry for. At any rate, he was keeping his distance from the probably ravenous wolf. He noticed that none of them had eaten since before they were thrown in prison. That was at least half a day ago, probably more. However, he wasn't going to bow down and ask. He didn't want anyone to think he was weaker than them. To his relief, Green said it for him.
"Can we stop and eat soon? We haven't eaten in a while and I'm tired," Green panted.
"All right, I'm kind of hungry too," Gray agreed. The group stopped and sat down, "We don't really have any supplies, so we'll just have to forage for it," he notified us. Just Great.
"I saw some great looking green onions growing a little while back," Red piped up helpfully, "I can go get some!"
"Alright, how about you and Vio go get those and anything else you can find, while Green and Blue gather stuff from around here," Gray suggested, "I'm going to hunt for myself, I don't think vegetables are going to be enough for me."
"Sounds like a good plan," Vio agreed, "Everyone good with that?"
"I am!" Red exclaimed.
"Me too," Green said.
"I guess," Blue grunted.
"Wait, Midna, what do you eat?" Red asked.
"Me? I don't eat, eee-hee!" the shadow replied (1).
"One less person to worry about," Blue muttered under his breath.
"Let''s go!" Red cheered, and darted down the path, Vio following behind him. Blue rolled his eyes.
After a while, the four Links had gathered a sizeable salad of edible plants, leaves, flowers, and a few berries. They sat around it, which only made Blue hungrier than he had been before.
"Uh, should we wait for Gray to get back?" Green asked.
"No, who knows when he'll get back," Vio said, bending his head to chew on some raspberries.
"Okay!" Red dug into the food as well, Blue and Green following his actions.
Blue ate as fast as he could, he didn't know how hungry he was until he actually started eating.
"Slow down, Blue, or you'll get hiccups," Vio warned.
"I'm hungry," Blue shot back and continued inhaling his food.
In a couple of minutes, Gray arrived at the scene, a squirrel hanging from his jaws.
"I take it you had some luck?" Vio asked, noting the dead animal.
"Yef," Gray affirmed, his voice muffled from the squirrel's fur. Dropping it on the ground, he bit into it, chewing it ravenously.
"You're eating it raw? Yuck!" Red exclaimed. Blue had to agree with him. It looked gross. Gray gazed at him emotionlessly.
"I'm a wolf, what do you expect me to do?" he asked, and returned to his meal.
"I feel sick," Green groaned. He did look a little green. Then again, that was the natural color of his fur. Vio looked like he was trying to ignore Gray's eating habits, though his nose was crinkled.
"I think I lost my appetite," Red moaned, looking miserable.
"That's what wolves eat. Deal with it," Blue grumbled, though secretly he had also felt a little sick. He ducked his head so he didn't see Gray and continued eating, though he wasn't hungry anymore. Despite the appalling sight of Gray eating raw squirrel, he knew he had to keep up his strength.
~/_\~
After they had all eaten, some more so than others, the group continued down the path. As they passed the spring they had met Gray in, a voice called out to them from the water.
"Wait…" it called, Come… to my spring…"
"Huh?" Blue asked. Gray was staring in shock.
"Come on," the wolf walked into the spring. The voice spoke again.
"You have… been transformed… by the power… of shadow…" its voice echoed slightly, "Come… to me…"
"Who are you?" Vio asked, staring around the empty spring.
"Beware…" it answered, "A shadow being… It approaches…" Just then, the group was surrounded by a circle of black, knobby stakes that fell from the sky. Between the sticks, slightly glowing transparent walls flared, surrounding them in a large trap.
"The voice tricked us!" Blue roared.
"No it didn't, it warned us," Vio disagreed. That was when the portal formed above them. A big, black-and-red swirling vortex hanging in the sky. From it, a singular shadowy creature fell. It reminded blue of vaguely of the bulblin they had faced earlier, if the thing had been enlarged, painted black, had a large, flat, creepy gray mask shoved on its face, and had long, fat black noodles growing out of its head. Something like that.
Gray started growling, and the rabbits crouched down in defense. The shadow beast snarled and charged at them. Immediately, the rabbits pounced and grabbed the first thing they could get their mouths around. For Blue, this happened to be the noodle-hair. It did not taste in the slightest like noodles. It was more like chewing on horse dung that had been dragged through a puddle of red potion and then burned to a crisp. At any rate, it did not taste good.
In the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Vio on the thing's back, Green on its left arm, and Red clawing its feet. The weight of the four of them collapsed it onto the ground, and they jumped off. It tried to struggle back up, but Gray pounced on it, grabbing its neck and shaking his head violently. The thing screeched in anger and collapsed.
Unexpectedly, once it was down, the shadow being evaporated into little black squares and flew up into the portal, which was now a bluish color. The barrier disappeared and everyone cautiously examined their surroundings, making sure there was nothing else hiding anywhere.
"Look!" Red gasped, watching the rocks above the spring's short waterfall. Everyone gasped as they caught sight of it. Four rocks sticking out of the water had glowing runes light up in some language Blue didn't know. He watched as they bathed the spring in a pale golden light. The water in front of them rippled and a golden ball like a mini sun floated out of it. Around it, the radiant form of a goat faded into existence, the ball between its antlers.
"Ordona?" Gray gasped.
"Who?" Red asked.
"Shh," Vio told him.
Oh brave youth… I am indeed Ordona, the first of four light spirits that protect Hyrule at the behest of the goddesses. The black beast you five slayed was a shadow being. It had come to seize the power of light that I wield. My brethren in Hyrule have already had their light stolen by these fell beasts. The entire kingdom has been reduced to a netherworld ruled by the cursed powers of darkness. The blight will not stop with Hyrule. Before long, the entire world of light will fall into the hands of the king who rules the twilight."
"You mean that world that turned us into animals and turns everyone else into spirits?" Vio asked.
"Yes, that is the twilight," Ordona confirmed.
"What can we do to stop it?" Green asked.
"To save this land from the king of twilight, the lost light must be recovered. The three light spirits who have lost their light must be revived. There are very few who can revive them and redeem this land. All five of them are standing in front of me, although one of them has not yet discovered his true power."
Blue glanced at Gray. She… or he, must mean him.
"Those transformed by the twilight usually cannot recover their true forms…" Ordona continued.
"So I'm stuck as this rabbit forever? That's just terrific!" Blue complained.
"I am not done yet, young one. There is a way."
"How?" Gray asked before Blue could answer.
If you were to return to Faron Woods, where you were first transformed… If you revived the light spirit there, by the power of the light spirit, you may find the means to regain your other state of being."
"Great! Let's go!" Blue said.
"I bid you good luck…" Ordona said as she (Blue was going with 'she' by the name) faded away, leaving only the slowly rising sun as a source of light.
"Come on, let's do this," Green said, and hopped out of the spring. Blue led the way across the bridge towards the large wall of twilight that had gotten them thrown in jail last time. they stopped in front of the thrumming black and gold barrier. Midna popped out of Blue's shadow, a more serious air around her.
"You might not be able to come back here, are you sure you want to do this?" she asked. Everyone nodded, and she floated through the wall, warning them, "Stay grouped together, so I can bring you all in at once."
The Links waited awkwardly close together for a few moments, before a large orange hand the same color of Midna's hair- which she was probably using- popped out, grabbed them, and dragged them into the twilight.
1- I have no idea what a twili eats, or even if they do, so I'm just saying they don't, because Midna is a shadow right now. What and how can a shadow eat? I have no clue, so not needing to eat is the solution. She can, but she doesn't have to.
