Chapter 8; Heroes in Green

Midna's POV

We both landed in Ordon spring with a splash, and I instantly rushed over to Aden. He was unconscious, but his eyes were closed tightly like he was in great pain. I threw off his cloak, letting it soak in the spring's water. He wore an odd shirt, but I didn't let that bother me, I had to see the damage that "god" has done! I lifted up the back of his shi-

I gasped, this wasn't just bad, this was terrible! Across his back, there was a large gash with a part of his spine creeping out in the middle! There was bits of blood gushing through as I was looking at it, I had to do something! I held my hands on the gash as much as I could, gagging at the feeling of the bone and the blood. I forced myself to look back down, I had to be strong right now!

"What the?" The blood that was seeping through Aden's back wasn't mixed in with the water. I saw more drips drop from my hands, and I was shocked as I saw the blood disappear right as it touched the water. "Of course, what am I thinking?!" I said aloud. The Light Spirit's spring water could heal!

I turned Aden onto his back, face up from the water. I could see his face, scrunched together because of the pain that he was experiencing, I couldn't imagine what it was like for him! I saw a tear roll down his face, and I let mine roll down as well. "Please work, please work, please!" I pleaded to the goddesses, and the light spirits as well! Aden was one of my only friends, he couldn't die now!

My tears were giving off a small glow, so when another light appeared behind me, I immediately turned around. I saw a golden wolf, with red eyes that were each giving off a glow of their own. I stood up, there was only one piece of offensive magic I knew, and I had to use it now!

"Stay away from him!" I yelled to the wolf. I prepared a magic spell that I have never used in years, putting one hand in front of the other. I could feel the spark appear in my hands, and I prepared to release it.

'I bring no harm, stand down Twilight Princess'

I gasped, and the spark in between my hands vanished. This wolf spoke, but its mouth did not move! This wolf was speaking to me in my mind?! "H-how do I know you aren't lying?!" I yelled to it. It did not reply, it instead slowly walked over to Aden, the look of pain gone from his face. I quickly prepared the magic again and released it to the wolf.

It went right through it, and didn't affect him in the slightest.

It looked back to me with an annoyed look, and said, 'We shall speak later'. He looked back to Aden. It raised its paw, and put it on Aden's chest. There was a sudden bright light, and I quickly shielded my eyes. When the glow subsided, I looked back to Aden.

The wolf was gone, and it only looked like that Aden was sleeping now. His face was pale, but that could just be the moon shine. I listened closely, and I sighed in relief. 'He is still breathing, thank the goddesses!' I turned him onto his side, to have a look at his back. I pulled up his shirt again and looked at the…

Scar?

Where his gash was supposed to be, was instead a wide red scar that stretched across his back. It was a little bumpy around the center, where the part of his spine was. I cried tears of joy, and wrapped my arms around Aden. I almost lost him, and I felt that it was my own fault. I knew it wasn't, but I felt like it was.

I hoped that he would be okay, now I just needed to wait for him to wake up.

Aden's POV

I was once again floating, but my back was searing in pain! I tried to put my hands on my back, but I couldn't move at all! I tried to let out a yell, but no sound came out! This must be what dying feels like, just doing nothing as pain tortures you until you pass on. I was about to give up, but then I felt something cool against my back.

The pain resided, but there was still soreness left. The world around me appeared before my eyes, and gravity kicked back in. I landed on my back, which led to more of a soreness. But thankfully, it wasn't that bad. I sat up, and opened my eyes again. I found myself in the same place I was in when I first met the Shade. So that meant…

I heard the echoed panting again, and looked over my shoulder. I saw the golden wolf once again. I stood up and turned around, looking at the wolf. I still clutched my back, it was still aching as I stood up. I looked towards the wolf and said, "Well look who it is." The wolf howled and there was once again a bright glow. I closed my eyes until the glow disappeared, and when it did, the Shade was standing in its place.

"You are lucky to survive young one." The Shade said. "You were close to meeting death, but your friend's quick thinking managed to rescue you. I helped too of course."

"Midna saved me, huh?" I said. Looking down into the shallow water. "I guess we are even now, since she saved me."

"This is no time to worry about that now lad! You almost got killed, by the Fierce Deity no less!" the Shade yelled. I looked back to him, my face filled with skepticism.

"You know about that, thing, that attacked me and Midna?" I asked. The Shade sighed and I saw him tighten the grip around his sword.

"Yes, and I regret ever letting him help me!" I was about to interrupt him, but he snapped out of his rant and looked back to me. "I shall not let my ramblings go on, it is now time for me to teach you your magic's deeper depth!" I closed my mouth, knowing that it probably wasn't a good idea to get on this guy's bad side. I nodded and he looked back to me.

"Before I teach you your next ability, you must teach me your experience with the pointed shockwave. Have at me!" he yelled. He then got in his battle stance again, and I knew what I had to do. I lifted my right hand off of my back and put it across my chest. Index finger pointed outwards, I gathered energy in my finger, and then swiped my finger across the air.

The shockwave came out of my finger once again, and hit the Shade's shield. Like last time, it made him stumble backwards again and he lowered his sword and shield. "Hmm, very well. You seem experienced with the pointed shockwave, so it is now time to learn your next ability. Because of your encounter with the fierce deity didn't go well, it would be only logical for you to learn this.

"Young one, it is now time for you to learn the skill known as, Nayru's Love." Why did that seem anticlimactic? He then took out another scroll from who knows where, and handed it to me. I reached out and took the scroll. Just like last time, it disappeared and seemed to go into my hands.

"You now know the technique. This is specifically used for defensive purposes only, acting like a shield to protect you when you need it most. Now, try to protect yourself, En Garge!" The Shade then separated into three different Shades, and surrounded me. I was thrown off by this, and frantically looked around myself.

The Shades pulled their swords behind themselves, preparing to swing. I panicked and kneeled down, putting my hands in the air. I heard a tiny chime, and three different "THUNKS" I opened my eyes, and saw that I was enveloped within a bright blue crystal. It was transparent, so I could see the three different Shades merge back into one. I lowered my hands, and the shield disappeared in front of my eyes.

"You are learning quickly one. I am proud that I have someone to pass my ways onto." The Shade said with satisfaction.

"Thank you Shade, now can you please tell me just what the heck the Fierce Deity is now?" I said. I hoped that the Shade wasn't ticked off by this, but I got lucky. He didn't, and lowered his sword and shield.

"Very well. You see, I am known as the hero of time only to myself. After I saved Hyrule from destruction, the Princess Zelda from my era sent me back to my childhood to regain my lost time. So none of my friends that I made from my adventure recognized me, except the few I knew since birth. I couldn't see them however, because I was given the task to travel far from Hyrule with the Ocarina of Time. A magical instrument capable of opening the door to the sacred realm, where the Triforce resided. I did so, and ended up on yet another adventure entirely.

"During my travels outside Hyrule, I had an encounter with a skull kid wearing the cursed mask of Majora. We were sent to the other dimension of Termina, where the Skull kid would end the world in three days with Majora's power. I was able to stop him however, and it turned out that it was Majora pulling the strings the entire time. I was then given a mask that was just as cursed as Majora's. It was known as the Fierce Deity mask. It would allow me to turn into the Fierce Deity himself, and I used it to defeat Majora once and for all. But doing so allowed the Fierce Deity's power to be unsealed.

I wandered throughout the woods surrounding Termina, searching for a way back to Hyrule. I could not, and I ended up becoming a Stalfos, which is what you see before you. My soul passed on, finally coming back to Hyrule, along with the Fierce Deity as well. For as long as I could, I tried to prevent the Deity from coming into Hyrule in his physical form. I eventually failed, when he struck a deal with the devious Zant. Now that he has returned, he will stop at nothing until he gets what he wants. Destruction."

This was hard for me to take in all at once, but I got the gist of the situation. "Young one, you MUST find a way to defeat the Fierce Deity, or all life as we both know it will cease to exist!" I flinched, but I nodded in reply. I already knew the direness of the situation. Unless I wanted everything to die (Which I didn't in the SLIGHTEST!) I had to stop him.

"I will now send you back to the real world, it will be nighttime by then however. Your friend will know where to go next, good luck young one. Say hello to my son for me." As soon as I was about to ask who his son was, I felt drowsy once again. I collapsed to the ground and fell unconscious once again.

Reality

My eyes bolted open, and I found Midna kneeling over me, tears in her eyes. She gasped as I sat up, and threw herself into another hug with me. There was another sharp pain in my back, but I just ignored it. She pulled herself out of the hug, and looked at me with a gigantic smile.

"I thought I lost you again!" she said. I smiled and said back, "You know I wouldn't leave after finally coming back!" We both laughed for a second, then she stopped. She handed me my cloak, which was all soaked up. Along with my basket, which was also wet. I decided to hold back on the cloak for now, just to let it dry.

"Aden, before you woke up, there was a strange wolf that touched you and disappeared. Do you know what that was?" Midna asked. I nodded, and told her the whole story. About meeting the Shade, who he was, and about him teaching me. I also told him about the Fierce Deity, and how dangerous he was.

"All he wants to do is destroy, and that is why we need to stop him at all costs." I said, after the long explanation. Midna, with a concerned and serious face, nodded in response. "Life as a princess always bored me anyways, the adventuring is where the excitement really is!" she said. I laughed, if she liked a good adventure, then we were certainly going to be on a long one.

"Um, Midna? Why exactly is it dark now? It was morning when we got chased by the Fierce Deity." I asked.

"Oh, I knew you would ask that. You see, the Light Realm's time and the Twilight Realm's time are opposite from each other. So if it is night here, it is morning in the Twilight realm." 'oh, well that explains it'

I stood up, there was still a soreness in my back, I just had to ignore it. I turned over to Midna, who looked worried for me. "Don't worry Midna, I'll be fine." I said. "The Shade said that you would know where to go now, do you?" Midna thought about this for about two seconds, then she gasped.

"I know exactly where to go!" she exclaimed, then she ran off in the other direction. I of course, had no choice but to follow her. 'Wonder where we are going'

Link's POV

After a long, LONG day of herding all of the goats, I was ready for bed. Fado really messed up today, all of the goats were let loose on a little rampage! I had to gather up every single goat, and some of them were escaping out through Hyrule Field and into the other provinces! This took all day, and I thankfully had some help.

It was nighttime now, and I was climbing up the ladder to my home. I got inside and closed the door behind me. I was tired, and tomorrow, I would sleep until the afternoon. But right as I was about to get into the bed, I heard a knocking from outside. I didn't bother looking out the top window to see who it was, I just groaned and went back the way I came.

I finally got to the bottom of the last ladder, so I walked towards the door. I could hear some talking from outside it though, so I decided to listen in.

"So you know the person that lives here?" one male voice said.

"Yes, we were friends a long time ago. Specifically two years." I gasped, was that? No, it couldn't be! But her voice sounded really similar to her, so…

I opened the door, and I was met with two people. I disregarded the boy, I was too shocked at the other one. My suspicions were right. The cloak, the flaming orange hair, the light blue face.

After all of these years, she kept that promise.

She turned to me, and said, "See? I told you I would see you later!"

AAAND scene! I was able to finish updating this chapter just before school started! I hope you all liked this chapter, I wanted to give a little backstory to the Fierce Deity, or how much less I gave. Either way, thank you for reading! Make sure to read, review, and show this to your friends! BYYYYE!
