Author's Note: Hello again… I'm back! Sorry for the delay. I've been away from home for Christmas and wasn't able to do anything… but no worries, I'm here.

So… Skyward Sword? BEST GAME EVER. No joke. It had a great story and great gameplay. So if you haven't even bought it yet… what are you doing with your life? Go play it! Now! Wait, read my chapter first… then go play it… okay…

So yeah, I have nothing else to say in this Author's Note…

Disclaimer: I don't own legend of Zelda or anything that is part of it… blah blah blah.

"Well, well, well," a bone chilling voice rang through the air as we exited the chamber into the dim light of the forest. Out from behind a tree came a shadowy figure with beady red eyes. It was him. This was Shadow.

I immediately brought out my sword, making a slight ringing sound throughout the woods. Even the birds had stopped chirping.

"Now, now, Hero, no need for that," he said to me, strolling towards us, but staying in the shadows. "I don't want to fight you. Not today, at least."

"Then why did you come here?" I asked, also taking a few steps forward, Midna followed.

"I just wanted to formally introduce myself to you, seeing as how were enemies now," he answered. "The name given to me by my creator is Dark Link. However, you may call me Shadow, seeing as I hate bearing the name of my enemy." He gave a deep bow.

"Great. Now why are you really here? You didn't come here just to let us know who you are, did you?" I asked.

"Of course not. I just wanted to see your face when your heart gets crushed like a worthless grape," he shrugged.

I looked back at Midna, who looked at me with wide eyes. "You touch her, and I swear I'll," my mind raced with thoughts of what I would do to him.

"You'll what?" he interrupted. "Kill me? Don't worry. I have no intention of harming either one of you today."

"Then leave us alone. Come on, Midna, let's find a way out of here," I said, taking Midna's hand in mine and walking away.

"Are you really that stupid, Hero? You can't even tell that the woman beside you is not the woman you love?" he called after us.

I let go of Midna's hand and whipped my body around. "What?" I asked, afraid of the answer.

He gave me a sick smile and then responded, "Open your eyes to what's really in front of you. Princess, get over here." He waved for Midna to some over next to me.

I heard her footsteps getting closer and closer, but they were a bit lighter than I remembered. She then put her hand on my shoulder and I looked into her eyes.

But what met me were not the fiery red eyes of the Twilight Princess, but the pale blue eyes of the Princess of Hyrule.

I took a few steps back, unsure of what was happening.

"Link, I can explain," she said, taking slow steps toward me.

"No, no, princess," Shadow cut in. "Allow me. You see, it all started when I got word of something. My creator, Ganondorf, was planning to conquer Hyrule. I, being the great servant I am, started making my way here to help him. But what do I find out when I get here? A mere boy, with the help of two princesses, killed him. Do you know how that makes me feel? Disgusted. Hurt. Filled with rage! So I made a plan. Kill off the people of Hyrule, making sure to save the Hero and the Princess for last, so they could see all the suffering around them. And then I found out that you were on your way to cure all these people. So I thought: How can I make this an impossible task for the Hero of Twilight and the Princess of Destiny? Simple. Make them go mad. Place a curse on each temple, so that by the time they reach the fourth, they'll want to kill themselves. So in this first temple, I placed a curse on you, Hero. So that when you see the Princess, you see her as the person you love most. And then, when you got the golden leaf, you would see her as whom she really was. And it seems it worked. You look fairly heartbroken. And with that, I must be off," he sunk into the shadows as I turned to look at Zelda.

"Link, I," she began.

"Wait," I cut her off. "Before you say anything, did you know?"

She took a deep breath and averted her eyes from mine. "Yes. But Link, I,"

"No, stop." I cut her off again, rage boiling inside me. "You knew and you didn't tell me. Instead you just took advantage of it. You took advantage of my feelings."

"No Link, it wasn't like that," she said, tears springing out of her eyes and rolling down her cheeks.

"No. Just save it. I don't want hear it," I cut her off for the third time, tears of my own threatening to make an appearance. I walked away, looking for an exit. I could hear her quiet sobs and her light footsteps slowly trailing behind me. I swallowed the lump in my throat and continued walking, still looking for an exit.

After a few minutes of searching, I finally spotted a line of clawshot medallions leading up to the highest level of the forest. I brought out my clawshots and motioned for Zelda to hold on to me.

We silently made our way to the top and rode Epona back to my home.

"Um, we can stay here for the night and head out tomorrow," I mumbled as we made our way up the ladder. Zelda made her way to my bed without a word as I made a bed for myself on the floor.

I cursed myself quietly for being so stupid back in the forest temple, but I was secretly relieved that I had Zelda back.

Authors Note: OOOOOHHH… Things are happening! Link, please just get over Midna. Sorry that was a short chapter, but I'll try to make the next one longer.

Okay, that's all I have to say for this time except: Please Review!
