HAAAIIII! ….. *Ahen*, pardon my Kirby tongue. Anyways, I might cancel the whole ask my OC thing. After thinking about it for a while, I thought it would be too much of an ego thing to do. So I will be cancelling it. Unless I get some support for it that is. Now let's get to the story, shall we?

Chapter 7; Escaping the God

Aden's POV

Instantly when I woke up, I had multiple thoughts going through my mind. 'That kid was me?' 'What was all that about?' 'Why did the man and the woman look extremely familiar?' I knew that these would (probably) be answered as I go along, but my mind would refuse to let go of those thoughts! Then, I came to a question that I should really think about.

'Should I tell Midna about this?'

This really racked my brain around. I felt that I should tell Midna about this, but a deep feeling told me to keep that thought hidden. The reason why, was completely beyond me! But I really thought that I should tell her about the dream, because I thought that she would think of something. So my decision was clear, I would tell her. What confused me the most was why I had that feeling not to tell her in the first place.

Getting up off of the bed, I threw on my cloak and picked up the basket. Before I went outside though, I looked out the window. The portal from that strange mirror was still there. Midna asked me how I got here, so that must of meant that the portal was destroyed long, long ago. By who, well, I would ask Midna about that later.

I opened the door, and walked outside, being met with a groggy Dey. He was sitting down, looking like he was on the verge of unconsciousness. His eyes kept slowly closing, then quickly opening back up. I bent down and snapped my fingers in front of his face. He quickly jolted back awake, (or at least, pretended to) and flimsily stood back up. "Sorry Aden, I almost started to sleep on duty! Please forgive me!"

I sighed, and said, "Dey, you don't have too treat me like royalty! And before you say that you should do that because Midna let me stay here and I saved her, you don't have to do it because of that either." Dey slouched over a little, a sign that he was obviously tired. "This is just really stressful, you know? Not to mention, I had to stay up all night standing guard!"

After thinking for a couple seconds, I looked back to Dey and said, "Tell you what Dey, just tell me where Midna's room is, and I will just wait there. Then you can sleep in there." He looked up to me, with an extremely happy look in his eyes. "Are you serious right now Aden?" he said, then I nodded. "Thank you so much! You have no idea how hard it is to catch a break around here!"

"Okay then, just tell me where Midna's room is, and I will be on my way." I said. He told me the directions (Go straight, make a left, and then make a right. Her room is the farthest one down the hall) and I started to walk. Behind me, I could hear Dey walking into my room, and collapsing onto my bed. Yes, he was THAT loud!

As I was walking, I thought to myself about my dream. Wherever that place was, it certainly didn't look like it was close to here. Yet, I knew what all of those things were at first glance. So, maybe that kid in my dream actually WAS me. That would certainly explain the English on my shirt that nobody here can read. Not to mention my jeans and my shoes.

I took a left, and started to think other thoughts. How much DID she know about me? She did instantly recognize me as soon as I took off my cloak hood, but that was just the smallest thing. What else did she know? Did she know my favorite food? (Which I didn't even know at the moment) What things I like? My secrets? I would ask Midna about that too.

I took a right, and came to the final hallway. At the end of it, I could see Midna talking with Nigh. "Hey guys!" I said, then they both looked over to me. Midna smiled, and waved as she said, "Hey Aden! Um, where exactly is Dey?"

"Oh, he was tired, so I let him sleep in my room for a little while." I said. Midna looked a little angry, and said, "You did, why did you do that?!" I backed up a little, putting my hands up in surrender. "He looked a little tired, so I just let him take a little break! He and Nigh did stay up all night."

She opened her mouth to say something, then closed it again and sighed. "Alright, no point in arguing with you now anyways." She said.

"Aden, Princess Midna, follow me to the Great Hall, we must discuss on what we should do now." Nigh said. We then started to walk, with Nigh in front and Midna in front of me as I was in the back. I could have sworn that I heard Midna say as we were walking, "Still have the same attitude as you did all those years ago."

Midna's POV

As we were walking to the Great Hall, I had my mind on lots of things to discuss. It all started when I woke up from my dream. It wasn't a dream though, it was a flashback of all those years ago when I first met Aden. Seeing him again must of triggered that, so it wasn't that much. That was when my first discussion topic came up, telling Aden about his past.

After getting out of bed and putting on a fresh robe to wear, I knew something else to ask Aden. Just how did he get here? After years of him disappearing, he got back here. The real question here was, how? I would tell Nigh that we should go to the Great Hall to discuss these. Then I looked out the window.

I gasped, and stepped back. The portal from the Mirror of Twilight had reappeared! I thought I had broken it all those years ago, leaving Link and Zelda's realm! I knew that the portal and Aden's appearance were linked together somehow, so that would be the next thing to talk about.

I walked out of my room, talked to Nigh about going to the Great Hall, and here we are, back to the present. I knew that the biggest topic of importance was to talk about the Mirror of Twilight's reappearance, as well as Aden's arrival. Those needed to be discussed as soon as we got to the Great Hall. Now if only he didn't let Dey take a nap.

After a couple more minutes of hasty walking, we reached the great hall. Aden looked amazed at the room, but it wasn't really that great. It was basically a large room with a large circular table made of twilian stone. There were also seats that were higher up for lower ranked members of the court, but that was just normal. We all sat at opposite sides of the table, and automatically began to talk.

"Now Princess Midna, you have decided to call an urgent meeting between the three of us, the only ones left in the entire Twili palace still alive. (Except for Dey) What do you need to say?" said Nigh. With a serious look and tone, I responded with, "There are actually many things, but I would like to talk about one thing specifically," I turned to Aden, "Aden's reappearance."

"What do you mean?" Aden said, his expression changing to his questionable look. "What I mean, is that we want to know just how you got here. For ten years, you disappeared when we"-

"Wait a second, Princess Midna. Are you saying that you knew Aden back then?" Nigh said. I winced, I had never told anybody about Aden, did I? We had kept our friendship secret all those years ago. Aden was one of the few friends that I had that was my age, and I was worried that he wouldn't see me again if he got caught. Now was a better time than any to tell them though.

"Yes, I did know him. Aden, you may not know this either, but you and I were best friends twelve years ago. Then, you ju"-

"Princess Midna, why exactly does he not know about this either?" Nigh rudely interrupted once again. I shot him a glare, one interruption was fine, but two I could not stand. He backed off after that though.

I sighed to calm myself down, then said "Nigh, Aden has amnesia. He does not remember anything that has happened before he got it." I saw Aden look down to his odd shoes, an obvious sign of depression. It seemed he did not want to bring up the topic. But I just had to know how he got here.

"Ah, okay Princess Midna. I understand now, please continue." Said Nigh. I could finally get back on track. I looked back to Aden.

"So as I was saying, for ten years, you have disappeared when we were eight years old. Now you appear, and something else of major importance has also. And I am not talking about Zant." I said. Both Nigh and Aden looked confused, so I decided to tell them.

"The Mirror of Twilight has reappeared." Aden still looked confused, but Nigh was beyond surprised. "The Mirror of Twilight?! But I thought you destroyed it two years ago!"

"Yes, I saw the portal outside my window. And since that both Aden and the portal appeared at similar times, I thought that he would know something about it." I said, looking back to Aden. He nodded, which I actually did not expect.

"If you are talking about that strange mirror outside the entrance to your realm, then yes. I did have something to do with it." He said. I was shocked, I did not expect him to say that he had something to do with it. I thought he would say that it was there when he got there!

"Aden," Nigh exclaimed, "two years ago, Princess Midna destroyed the mirror in hopes of keeping both realms at peace. Now that it has reappeared, both their realm and ours are in danger again! How did you have something to do with it exactly?"

Aden closed his eyes and sighed. "Midna, you saw that yesterday I could use magic, correct?" I nodded. "Well, that is not the only thing that I can do." He got up out of his chair, and said to both of us, "Watch this".

He closed his eyes, and cupped his hands in front of him. I saw his eyes squeeze together a couple times, and then I saw a spark come from his hands. Suddenly, a small gray orb appeared in his outstretched hands. The longer he kept his eyes shut, the more the orb grew. When the orb was the size of his head, he opened his eyes, and the orb stopped growing. He took one hand away, and held it with the other.

"This is what I like to call, a memory orb. I don't know how it works; it can bring up scenarios or items from the past. Like so." He then walked over to one of the broken down chairs, and made the orb a little larger. After a couple seconds, and the orb was about the size of the chair, he launched it forward towards the chair. Both Nigh and I gasped, as the orb became transparent, inside we saw a fully repaired chair!

"Aden, how di"-

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

We all turned towards the doorway, the scream was slightly faded, but it shocked us all. "Dey? DEY!" Nigh yelled. He then ran out of the room at full speeds, trying to find out the source of Nigh's screams.

"NIGH, NO!" I screamed, but he was already long gone. Me and Aden looked at each other. We had to make a split second decision, go after Nigh or stay here and stay hidden. Aden decided to go for the first option, and ran after Nigh. I ran after him, trying to pull him back into the room, but he was too fast. He bolted out of the room, and I had no choice to follow.

He bolted left, then turned right, then stopped right in his tracks. His face went from protective to pale in an instant. I caught up to him, and saw what made him so scared. In front of us, we say Nigh sprawled across the ground, Zant, and one more person that was floating alongside of him.

His clothing was a light shade of gray, but it was actually a shining silver chest plate. Around his neck, he had a dark blue cloth with three light blue gems across it. Right below that on the upper part of his chest plate, there was two golden crests. The one on his right was a crescent moon, while the one on his left was a golden triangle. (and no, it was not the triforce) He was holding a strange sword that looked like two intertwined stone bars. His ears were like a normal hylean's, but his face was another story. His hair was snow white, And he had red markings around his eyes. On his forehead, was a strange blue marking. And his eyes, were empty. There was nothing inside them at all, just white nothingness. He also had a strange green and blue aura around him, like flames. This must have been-

"Where are they?! My god must know!" Zant yelled. If this was Zant's god, then we were going to be in gigantic trouble! Then they saw us, and Zant grinned. "There you two are."

"Run?" "Run!" me and Aden agreed in an instant, running off in the way we came. We could hear Zant's crazed laughter and Nigh's yell in pain. We sprinted at full speed, and ran right back into the Great Hall. We slammed the door shut, but we knew that there was nowhere else to go! There was only one way in here, and there were no secret passages that I knew of! But I then saw the window, that would be our escape.

"Aden, the window!" I yelled. Aden's face turned an even deeper shade of pale, which I didn't think was possible. "ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?! IF YOU DID KNOW ME BACK THEN, THEN YOU KNOW THAT I AM AFRAID OF HEIGHTS, NO WAY!" I knew he wouldn't cooperate with me, so I dragged him to the window.

"It's either this or them Aden!" I exclaimed. With Aden's hand in mine, I dragged him with me out the window. I could hear Aden's screams of terror as we fell, but I saved us both at the last second. I activated my levitation magic to break our fall, but we still had a rough landing. We landed on our feet, a slight pain up both of our legs, then fell down onto the ground.

We stumbled up, and I yelled, "Keep Running!" And that was what we did. We continued to sprint, and we tried to escape to the portal. We then heard explosions behind us, and I risked looking behind us. I saw Zant firing his energy blasts from the window we came out of, and his god floating downwards from there. I turned back, and yelled, "FASTER!"

We were sprinting as fast as we could, our feet practically moving on their own. I could hear the explosions getting closer, then I saw a large shockwave appear right above our heads. It was so close, I thought that my hood had gotten cut off! I risked looking behind us again, and saw that Zant's god was swinging his sword, and shockwaves were coming from it. I saw Aden trying to run backwards, using his own magic to counter the shockwaves. But I could see him start to stumble, so I used my levitation magic to support him up.

"Thanks Midna!" he said, and he got back to countering shockwaves. Whenever Zant's god used a shockwave, Aden countered it with his own. We were almost to the portal, but then one of Zant's energy blasts hit our feet. I stumbled and fell, but I managed to fall inside the area where the portal transports us. This was an old feeling that I haven't experienced in years, I could feel my body breaking apart and turning into Twili particles, traveling at high speeds. Then, they came back together, and we were in the Mirror Chamber.

We ran down the steps, and I said, "We have to break the Mirror, quickly!"

"We can't, he will be here any"- then we heard the sound of Twili particles coming together once more, and we knew it was too late. "RUN FOR IT!" and we were off again. I knew that we couldn't go through the Arbiter's grounds again, so I knew what we had to do. There was an opening right in front of us, a break in the fence that lead to a fall. I grabbed Aden's hand again, then we jumped.

But then, a shockwave came again. I was able to avoid it, but Aden got hit in the back. He got shot forward, and he went unconscious. "ADEN!" I yelled, but I knew he couldn't hear me. We were still falling, the ground approaching at a rapid pace. We had to teleport, and I knew exactly where to go. I focused on both me and Aden, and I could see Aden break apart into Twili particles right before I did. We were safe, or at least I hoped so.

We rose up into the air, and into the Twili portal. I was lucky that it was still there, and I hoped that the one at the Faron Spring was there too.

Dana nana nana nana nana nana nana nana CLIFFHANGERS! So yeah, Zant's new god is revealed. For those who don't know who exactly the god was, you will have to do some research.
