"Bugs that shoot electricity?" Colin asked with confusion. "Yes, we need to defeat all the bugs in this area to return the place to normal and have it be free of these Shadow creatures," I explained with a kind smile. "Well, there should be a few bugs that we trapped in the basement underneath the stone slab. You'll need to light the torches in this room to get it to move. Just, please make sure no harm comes to the children?" the deeper voice man asked with concern. "I promise they won't have a claw on them. I'd give my life to defend my Master's friends," I said with a dutiful smile as I then saw Midna grab a nearby torch and start to light the torches with it, managing to make the slab move.

The moment that we got into the basement, we already saw the bugs were trying to escape. I swiftly attacked them with my mantis arms and sliced them to ribbons, there being a total of 2 down there. "That's them taken care of. Now time to sniff out the rest," I said, me hoisting myself, Master Link, and Midna out of the basement and meeting up with the others. "Are the bugs gone?" Beth asked with concern on her face. "Yes, the ones in here are gone. But you should still stay here. I promise, Master Link, Midna, and I will free this place from those horrid pests," I said to her with a kind smile.

"Okay. Be careful," Talo said with a small smile. Link smiled in his wolf form and we proceeded out of the house to try and find the rest of the bugs. I let out my sniffer again and looked up towards the other buildings in the town. "I'm going to investigate these buildings. They reek of Shadow Bug scent," I said with a snort, rushing into on of the buildings and finding that the bugs were being a bit craftier than usual. How? They were hiding themselves in the furnaces and under large crates! I pushed one crate out of the way and quickly eliminated the bug afterwards. Then, I went to the next house and burned the little bugs out of the furnace with some fire. And once that was done, I gasped as I heard a loud bang happen at the top of a hill, me wondering what made the noise.

I immediately rushed up to the hill and saw Midna and Master Link escape the burning building and that three tears of light were all that remained inside the charred building. "Master Link! Are you okay?" I asked him, rushing up and hugging him with concern, Link whimpering at that. "Sorry, I didn't mean to worry you," he said. "We had to get the bugs out of the furnace by flaming it, but they caught fire and lit the fuses on every single flammable item in the house... and judging from how quickly it caught fire and the explosions, I think it was fireworks," Midna said with a sigh.

"Don't worry me like that again, guys, okay?" I said sternly. "Okay, we promise to be more careful," Link sighed. "Me too," Midna frowned. This was rare to see Midna show any kind of regret, so I just couldn't help myself. "First time I've seen you own up to your mistakes, Midna. You got a head cold or somethin'?" I smirked at her, Midna frowning and smacking me in the face with a punch of her hair, which actually did hurt, though not by much. "You kind of deserved that, to be honest," Link smiled at me. "I know, I just couldn't help myself," I giggled.

It was after collecting the light tears that I caught a sniff of another bug, this time on a high vantage point above the town, which I immediately headed for with my dragon wings. I rushed the bug and slashed it with mantis claws, the bug producing the light tear in a snap. But then I heard Link howling for me. "HEEY! We found a bug in the graveyard!" Link howled loudly, me looking back to him and seeing he was by an area near the spring, me going towards him with my wings and collecting the light tear that he had got from the bug.

"Okay, there are still a few more tears of light left, but I can't smell anymore bugs in town... where could they be?" I frowned as I looked around until I saw something in the distance. The mountain. The one where the Goron tribe lived. "Maybe they'll be on the mountain? Want to bet, guys?" I smiled at them. "Sure, I'll take that bet. How about 20 rupees?" Link smiled. "Twenty rupees it is," I smirked at him as we went on our way to the mountain, me needing to help Link up quite the large ladder as I saw a Goron at the top.

"Wha?! Intruder! State your business!" the Goron said to me sternly. I looked at him with a smile and bowed politely. "My name is Epona. I wish to help rid your land of Twilight and all the monsters with it," I said to him, the Goron looking at me in confusion. "Twilight? What's that?" he asked. "Have you noticed the sky lately? How brownish-orange it is? Doesn't look like a normal sky, does it?" I asked him, the Goron gasping when he did notice it finally.

"Oh my! I've been so focused on looking out for trespassers, I never noticed the sky had changed!... But I'm afraid that I can't allow entry for any strangers unless they were to beat me in a wrestling match," the Goron said, me looking in the distance to see that Link and Midna had ventured on for now. "Fine, just so you know, though you're made of rock, I'm made of iron scales," I smiled as I then changed my form to my full dragon likeness, the Goron gawking at my new size. "No way! A shapeshifter?! No way am I going to beat you at that size... go on through, miss," the Goron said wisely. "Wise decision, sir," I smirked at him as I flew myself over to where Link and Midna were, seeing they had defeated another bug and I dropped down to collect the light tear, the duo looking surprised at my entry. "Whoa! Don't spook us like that!" Midna exclaimed in surprise.

"Hehe, you were the ones to go on without me. You're lucky to be able to be unseen. I had to get challenged to a wrestling match to go forward... which the Goron quickly forfeited when I went full dragon," I smirked at them. "Um, yeah, that's called cheating," Midna snickered. "Well, it got the job done, and we still need three more bugs to go. Let's find them quickly," I said, leading the duo to the mountain in question and me already seeing another bug on the wall, which I killed with a quick slice of my scythe hands. But then, a bunch of Shadow Beasts came out and attacked, there being four of them in total with one staying a bit away from the group. After demolishing them and earning another warp area above us (as was custom whenever we defeated these types of beasts for some odd reason), I took care of another bug and then smelled the final one in the hot springs on the other side of the rock face in front of us.

"Want me to fly us over this? I smell the final bug in the hot spring," I smiled at Link. "I'd like that," Link smiled. "I wouldn't like that," Midna frowned. "Then you can fly yourself over, then. Besides, that is one thing you're good at regardless," I smiled at her as I turned into a large bird and picked Link up with my feet, flying our duo over the rock wall and letting Link go to dive directly into the bug and destroy it, me collecting the final tear of light. And once I did, our group suddenly got cloaked in a bright light and we then appeared directly at the spring, just as before, where I threw the tear vessel into the spring and smiled at how Midna was now in my shadow. "That was a good bit of fun, I'd say," Midna smiled as the spring's guardian suddenly appeared. And this one took the form of a large eagle perched atop a ball of light.

"O great heroes of Ordon... I am Eldin, the guardian of this spring and these mountains," the bird said calmly. "It's nice to meet ya," I said, since I was in a good mood. "Times are grim, heroes... the dark force that once turned this land into Twilight is in the temple where the mountain dwellers reside. You must defeat this darkness... and for you, shape-shifting heroine, I grant you the gift of becoming a different creature. You will now be able to become a golem at will, even in the world of light... fare thee well, and good luck," the spirit said, me gawking at the fact that I was going to be able to be stronger than a Goron in the real world! "Oh heck yeah!" I smiled at that as I then tested it out and turned myself into my golem form, which stood at least 10 feet tall and I was made completely of iron.

"Whoa! Epona just turned into a golem! That's so cool!" I heard Talo gawk from the doorway as he and the others rushed out to us and I went up to Colin with a smile, as he had been knocked over in the process. "Nice to see you, Colin," I smiled as I turned myself back to normal and he giggled at me. I was then approached by the village residents of Kakariko. "So, you are the Link that the children and the shapeshifter mentioned... my name is Renado. And this is my daughter, Luda... the old man with the welding mask is Barnes," the tall one in the robes said, me smiling at the trio with kindness. "My name is Epona. But you can call me Epsie," I smiled at them. "And I'm Link," Link smiled kindly... and then I saw Midna poke her head from my shadow, which spooked the others a bit before she talked. "A-And I'm Midna... Nice to meet you," she said in a shy manner, which made me curious that she was actually talking to them.
