So, this chapter has a lot of Midna background. It was pointed out that Midna is rather mysterious, and you don't know that much about her. I decided to expand on her. Also, Shoutout to Danadanabatman once again!

...

"Link? Hey, Link! Come on, let's go!" Brad and Zelda were standing at the base of the stairs, looking up. Brad wanted to get a head start early in the morning, especially since the eruptions were less severe in the early morning. It was odd, the volcano acted as a sort of clock. The biggest eruption was always around noon, and the calmest periods were always at night, that is, if you could call them calm. Every eruption was always quite large, sometimes visible all the way from the Gerudo Desert.

"Finally!" Zelda said as Link walked down the stairs.

"I was about to bust in there and drag you two out myself." Brad said.

"Be glad you didn't." Link looked tired still. "I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about the guardian. Three times I've been told that it's powerful, but no one knows what it is. I wish I had more answers so I could prepare properly."

"Come on, you can think on the way up the mountain." Brad said. The mountain hadn't changed much since the last time Link had been there. Steam vents were frequent, rocks fell from the sky, and young gorons were rolling down the mountain at them.

"Just like wrangling goats!" Link said as he strapped the Iron boots on. The goron crashed into Link, who struggled against it. After a few seconds, Link tossed him to the side, where it rolled further down the mountain.

"So, Midna, tell me more about you." Brad said.

"Where shall I begin? I was always treated differently as a child, partially being the princess, but also because I was different from everyone else in my family. I excelled at magic, which scared my family, but I also was far too curious about the light world. My parents tried to stop me from learning about the world of light, but I wanted to know. I learned about the Mirror, and about how I could never be directly in the light. I was only twelve when my parents died. A rebellion had risen up against my parents, their goal was to invade the world of light. My parents were strong, and they defeated the rebellion, but it cost them their lives. I became the realm's youngest ruler, but I was more than capable of leading my people. I took the advice of very few people, and those who tried to influence me were sorely missed the instant I found out. I became one of the most feared, but trusted rulers ever. Twenty years passed until Zant invaded the palace. He had been the only adviser I trusted, at least, up until a month prior. He had tried to convince me to tell him where the fused shadows were, in his words: 'In case anything should happen to you, I will... take care of them.' I sent him away, banishing him from my sight. He left, saying that I would regret this. A month later, he invaded. You know the story from there: as an imp, I came to this world, hoping to stop Zant, and have my revenge. Instead, I found Link. I fell in love with him. After I left, I couldn't stop thinking of what I'd done. I knew in my heart that I was no longer a Twili. I had changed, the once beautiful twilight had lost it's tender glow, the distant light of your world comforted me. I knew I was not Twili, nor was I Hylian. I am neither, a bit of both. Does that suffice for what you wanted to know?"

"Let me think... you're 32 years old? I thought Link was only 18..."

"No. I am flattered that you think that, but I'm actually 23." Link said.

"That's still a rather large age difference."

"And?"

"I'm just think that you should marry someone closer to your own age."

"But I love Midna, and even if she was a hundred, I'd still marry her." Midna glared at him. "Okay, maybe fifty?"

"That's better." Midna said as she sidestepped another steam vent.

"So, where is this temple supposed to be?" Brad asked.

"I don't know. I'd think Zora's domain, but that's apparently not it." Zelda remarked.

"That's new." Link walked over to a wall.

"What's new?" Midna asked.

"This symbol."

"What symbol?" Brad stared at the wall.

"What do you mean 'What symbol?'? This symbol!"

"There's nothing there, Link." Zelda pointed out.

"Yes there is!"

"Let's start over." Brad said. "You said 'This is new', and went over to the wall, right?"

"Yes."

"You claim that there is a symbol there, right?"

"Right."

"No one else can see it, right?" Zelda and Midna nodded.

"Trace the symbol with this." Zelda said, handing him a piece of shale from the ground. Link grabbed it, and hurriedly traced the symbol. "Impossible."

"What is it?" Midna asked.

"It's the seal of the Sage of Water." Brad said.

"Zora's Sapphire." Zelda said. "Link! What are you doing?"

"Making an entrance." Link held up a cluster of Eldin Bombs. "This should do the trick." He lit the fuse. "Run!" Link laughed, scrambling behind a rock. The other three ran and hid, and after three seconds, the fuse blew, and the rocks fell away.

"Brrrr... Is it me, or is it a lot colder all of the sudden?" Brad asked.

"No, it's definitely colder." Zelda said, staring into the tunnel.

They had found the Temple of Frost.

...

I like the background I gave Midna. It really adds a lot more to her character. For those that haven't played Ocarina of Time, go play it. It's one of the easier games, but it has so much crucial information, that it's a must. The symbol is also the one on the tomb in TP where you get the Zora's armor. Okay, recap time:

Lots of Midna background.

They find the entrance to the Temple of Frost.

That's really it for this chapter. The next few chapters will be inside the temple. This one will be in more detail than the other temple, just because I want you to see what I see for this temple. It's going to be epic. Please review! Thanks! Jn 15:5, Phil 4:13
