The part where we find out who The Warrior is... maybe... I don't own Legend of Zelda.

The Warrior summoned a fire. He and Link sat across from Midna and Makura, the boy still unconscious. Link asked, breaking the silence, "Why hasn't he changed back?"

Midna and the Warrior looked at him. Link defended, "It's an honest question!"

Midna sighed and shrugged. "I'm not sure. He should be dead, but then so should I. The Light is poison to us. It's why we take the form of shadows in this world."

The Warrior rubbed his chin in thought. "The man who controlled Makura placed a curse on him. His mission was to kill you, Link, but since he didn't, Makura was going to die . I used the Master Sword to break the curse. Makura's Master was a very powerful man, but deep down, Shadow was part of Makura, just as he must be chosen by the Goddesses. He wears the Hero's garb. That is yet another thing the man could not have summoned."

Link pieced it together. "So you're saying that I have a brother?"

The Warrior and Midna gave him matching blank stares. The Warrior sighed and rubbed his eye. "I suppose that's one way to look at it."

Midna jumped and the others looked over. Makura slowly sat up and shook his head. "I never want to do that again."

Link smirked. "Frankly, I don't want you to do that again either. I'm sorry but if you try to kill me a third time, we can't be friends anymore."

Makura looked over in shock. "How am I not dead?" He glanced at Midna and asked, "Why can I see you?"

The Warrior said, "I should explain from the beginning. When the world was created, while the land was new, the Goddesses hid a great treasure. Many searched for it, but few found it. When I was a child, an evil man from the desert coveted the jewel. My Princess plotted with me and we tried to reach the jewel first. But something we couldn't foretell happened. As I opened the gate, my body was sealed away. The evil man was free to take the jewel for himself. While I was in slumber, the man claimed it, but because of his heart he only kept part of it."

The Warrior picked up a stick and drew a triangle in the dirt. He separated it into four smaller triangles. Pointing to the top, he said, "The jewel is known as the Triforce and holds the power of the Goddesses. The top, Power, was held by the man. The right, Wisdom, was granted to the Princess. The left, Courage, fell to the Hero of Time who opened the gate and wielded the Master Sword. I was the first Hero. I defeated the evil man by sealing him away in the Sacred Realm. With his last breath, he swore revenge on me and my descendants. I've waited hundreds of years and he's finally returned."

"What was the man's name?" Midna asked quietly.

"The Gerudo King, Ganondorf."

Makura looked at the Warrior in understanding. The Warrior nodded. "You met him."

Makura said, "He's not a nice man."

"Hah! The man tried to kill me on multiple occasions before I defeated him and even then he wouldn't die."

"That still doesn't explain all of this," Makura said while gesturing between himself and Midna.

Link spoke up. "When we finished the Water Temple, Zant was waiting for us."

"He turned Lanayru's Light against me and cursed Link. We went to Zelda and she saved me, but we needed the Master Sword to fix Link." Midna pitched in.

Makura asked, "Does the Master Sword go by another name; Sword of Evil's Bane?"

Midna answered, "Yes it does. We were just about to snag it when you attacked."

"I've already apologized for that!"

Midna patted his cheek. "I know, sweetie, but I'm just so happy you're back."

"Anyway," the Warrior brought the conversation back to focus, "Ganon still holds the Triforce of Power. The other two parts were cast out into the world. Princess Zelda held the Triforce of Wisdom. I believe Link to hold the Triforce of Courage. When Zelda transferred her power, it should have killed Midna. Since one of you could hold the Triforce of Wisdom, it's not really surprising that another could be chosen. For all we know, Makura could hold the Triforce of Courage and we know Zant holds at least a fraction of Ganon's Power. The rest we just don't know at this time."

Link added, "So in review: Zelda's out of action, we now need to save two worlds, we can finally talk and see Midna at the same time and we're basically brothers."

Makura laughed and said, "That explains why we look alike."

Midna exclaimed, "You're okay with that?"

Makura shrugged. "I've had no family my entire life. Having a brother could be fun."

"What about me? I'm an only child!"

Makura raised an eyebrow. "You have your father. Besides, you can't become our sister! That would really put a kink in our relationship."

Midna giggled. "Fine. I'll just enter your family another way."

Link cleared his throat. "Maybe now isn't the best time."

"Speaking of families," Makura said slowly, "You said that Ganon swore vengeance. Does that make us your descendants?"

Link quirked both eyebrows at him before looking at the Warrior. The Warrior smirked and said, "You have keen hearing. Yes, I am one of your forefathers. I am not entirely sure who your parents are, Makura, but I feel like this is a story for another time. I suggest the three of you get back to your friends. They're probably very worried by now."

"Yeah… about that," Link began slowly, "I wasn't quite sure how to explain you, so I may have been a little vague."

Makura groaned and said, "This is going to be difficult, isn't it?"

The Warrior sighed and said, "I must leave you now. I was only able to last as long as I have in this form because we were close to the Sacred Realm. Now that the Master Sword has a new wielder, I won't have much time left."

As he stood to leave, Makura asked, "Will we see you again?"

The Warrior pulled Makura's hat off and ruffled his hair. "I'll be back to teach you both. Remember your first lesson. Control your emotions and strength will follow."

Link asked, "How come he gets emotion and I get courage?"

The Warrior started walking away and said, "Makura already had courage and you have control. You two are mirror images. Even your dominant hands are opposite. Focus on working together and good things are likely to happen."

Makura asked as he started to fade, "What's your name?"

The Warrior smirked and said, "You only need to read the signs. Until we meet again."

He tossed back Makura's hat and disappeared with the wind. Makura looked over at Link and asked, "Are you really right-handed?"

"Does it matter?"

"My name, Makura, means mirror. I'm left-handed so in a reflection, you'd be right-handed. Yet your name, Link, means left-handed. Please tell me the Warrior wasn't being literal."

Link stood and grinned. Drawing the Master Sword, he spun it around and said, "Sorry, mate, but I guess he was."

Midna laughed clear as a bell. Makura smiled at her. Link grinned and said, "Let's get back to Kakariko."

So it made me sad to think that the Golden Wolf wasn't actually corporeal in the world of Hyrule. Here's where we know he actually exists! Also... I apologize for any confusion about dominant hands in any chapters previous. I based my controls from the Wii version I played.

Yay for meaning! I told you that the names would be important. Please read and review.
