Chapter 25: The Time Change and Midna's Plea
Allanon's POV
It had been seventeen years since we visited Midna as a child. We were at home, when everything went black. "What is going on?" Zelda asks. Before I could answer, everything returned to normal. "Not sure." I reply and look outside. I gasp as I realize that the time had changed. We had entered the Twilight Era. "We are in the Twilight Era now, darling." I say to her. "Ah…" She says, understanding. Midna pops in, looking like an Imp again. "Midna?" I ask. She turns to me and says, "The one and only! Eee hee hee!" She then starts crying on my shoulder. "Qu'est ce qui s`est passé, ma sœur?"* I ask. "Zant a repris le pouvoir et a tenté de me tuer. Grâce au bracelet, je me suis seulement transformée. Je suis venue ici pour demander de l'aide."** She explains. Zelda understood, thanks to my teaching, and says, "We will help, Midna. I think I know where to find it." Just as we were about to leave, Twilight covered the Lanuryu providence. Thanks to the protection of my magic, nothing happened to us, but it put a strain on me. I warp us to Ordon Spring. I fall to the ground, weakened by the power of Twilight. "Allanon!" Zelda cries. "Dad!" my children say. Midna was on the ground as well, the light here weakening her. "Zelda…take the children to Mayor Bo…quickly. Then, bring Wolf here…" I say. She nods and takes the children off. "Midna…are you alright?" I ask. "Yes…" she weakly replies. Suddenly, Ordona appears. "Hero of Blades…Twilight Princess…Welcome to my spring. Hero, you know what you must do to save the Princess…Do so quickly…" it says and I nod. "S`il vous plaît pardonnez-moi pour ce que je m`apprête à faire, Midna. Prenez une partie de mon pouvoir afin que vous puissiez vivre."*** I say to her and place my hand on her. I force my magic into her and she glows. "NO, Allanon STOP!" Midna cries, but I continue. Midna stops glowing and she returns to normal. I close my eyes and sleep for a moment, but Midna believes I am dead.
Midna's POV
I start to cry. I couldn't believe what Allanon had just done. He sacrificed himself so that I could live. "Stupid!" I cry and pound the ground. Zelda returns then and sees me. "Midna, what happened?" She asks. "He…he used his power to heal me…but…" I stammer between sobs. Zelda understood and comes over. She picks me up and holds me like a child. "It's ok…He did what he thought was right. "Do not fear…Allanon is still alive, he just sleeps..." Ordona says and disappears. I hear someone coming and hide in Zelda's shadow. I see Link come into the spring and sigh. "What is going on, Zelda?" He asks. "It seems Zant took over again." She replies. I come out of her shadow. "Can I count on you for help again, Wolf-boy?" I ask. "Of course, Midna." Link says and I float to him. "Is Link and Malon around?" Zelda asks. "Yeah, they are at the ranch. Come on." He replies and we head to the ranch. I hide in Link's shadow, but it proved unnecessary. Zelda speaks to me. "No need to hide, Midna. Allanon made it to where the Twili are accepted." I reappear and we reach the ranch. I see Time and Malon sitting in the field, talking. Zelda calls to them. "Link! Malon! Long time no see!" They look over and Time says, "Zelda! It is good to see you! How have you been?" "I've been better. What about you?" "Fine. Had some kid trouble, but nothing we couldn't handle. What brings you here?" Malon says. "I do, I'm afraid." I say. "What's happened?" Time asks. "Zant took over again, if my form didn't make it obvious." I reply, rather harshly. Time looks down and I realize what I did. "Sorry…" I say. "Don't worry about it." Time says. Allanon finally joined us. "What did I miss?" he says, sounding older. I fly to him and start hitting him. "You idiot! You could have died!" I cry as I fall into his arms. "I'm sorry, Midna, But I had to." He replies. He hugs me and lets me go. Allanon pulls a pair of green earrings and hands them to Wolf. "To protect you." He says. He himself had a blue ring on his hand. "Well, we should get going." Link says. "Yes. Zelda, I want you to stay here with the children." Allanon says. She nods and we head out. "I'm going to have to get my Master Sword back." Link says. "I will as well." Time says. "Don't worry. I know where they are." Allanon says.
*What happened, my sister?
**Zant took over again and tried to kill me. Thanks to the bracelet, I only transformed. I came here to ask you for help.
***Accept this now, Midna, as I pass it onto you.
