Chapter 37: The Old World
Midna danced around the ferociously attacking the two-foot. Indra swung her sling shot in a wobbly circle. The more she swung, the less wobbly the circle and the more resolute her face became. Indra cracked her wrist. The rock shot through the air. It created a foreboding whistle before smashing into the two-foot's skull. The two foot immediately dropped. Midna quickly ran behind it and wrapped her hands around its neck. It laid unconscious and couldn't stop her from taking its life force. Midna threw a fist in the air.
"I did it?" Indra said, poised to jump.
Midna nodded her head. The girls jumped up and down holding hands laughing and screaming.
"Hunting is not that scary," said Indra.
"Uha, yea, ok." retorted Midna.
Indra playfully turned her back to Midna and started dancing again. Midna picked up the stone and threw it a Idra's butt. It bounced off.
"Don't forget to pick up your rock."
The girls gathered the rocks, and then held hands all the way to the forest. A rope ladder ran down the side of one of the tree trunks. The two climbed all the way up to a lively town of houses in the trees. Midna congratulated Indra once more. The two hugged and parted. A bouncy Midna dodged town folks and children as she walked to her tree house. She swung open the door.
"Zant?"
She went to his room.
"Zant?"
She walked out of the house,
"Why does he always disappear?"
Midna stopped an old lady.
"Have you see Zant?"
"Not today."
"He keeps hiding from people. I don't know why."
"Sanya said she saw him at the lake last week. Check there."
Midna thanked the lady and walked to the other end of the town. She climbed down a ladder and traveled through the forest till she came to a lake.
"Where is he?"
Midna spent hours walking around the lake. She eventually came upon a cave. The opening led down to a massive underground chamber. In the center lay a pool of bubbling liquid. Zant stood on the other side of the pool. He didn't not see Midna. He raised his hands in the air. A small creature rose from the bubbling liquid.
"Zant! Are you a god!?" asked Midna.
Zant looked up. His face froze. The shadow being fell back into the liquid.
"No, no, no," said Zant.
Zant backed up from the pool.
"No one shall see and live," whispered a voice from the pool.
"But I can't. She's my sister."
"Is is is.' whispered the voice.
"Zant, what's going on?" said Midna.
She backed up also.
"I'm sorry sister."
A shadow creature rose on each side of Midna. They grabbed her arms.
"Let me go! Zant, what's happening?"
Midna fruitlessly tried to shake them.
Zant walked up to her. He was shaking himself. He struggled to speak.
"Why did you come here?"
"Turn her into shadow," whispered the voice in the pool.
"I have no choice," Zant said to Midna.
The shadow creatures carried a struggling Midna and threw her into the pool.
"It must be done," whispered the voice.
Midna fell down and down. She waved her arms to swim upwards, but it was as if her body were a rock. The further she descended the more her body disintegrated into little bits. Midna was now a pool of black. Midna's body came back together and at the same time she rose above the surface. She was a little imp. She floated there. Zant held his hands in the air. He wouldn't look Midna in the eyes.
"Take her mind. Make her true shadow," whispered the voice.
"I can't," said Zant. "But she will not disturb our plans. Farewell little sister."
The pool of water turned gray.
"Zant! Zant!" Midna screamed.
Zant dropped Midna into the pool. Zelda's mind became white. Her consciousness flew.
