Green

"Wow! It's so big!" Red exclaimed, peering out over the vast field. Green had to agree. The group had just entered the field to find that it looked very different than the one back at home. The Hyrule Field they knew stretched all over the place, but had tons of trees, mountains, and rocks covering the grass. Here, there was a lot more plain open grass and dirt paths.

"That doesn't look very good," Blue pointed. Marring the beautiful scene in front of them was a gigantic wall of twilight, staining the sky yellow and black.

"Come on," Green said, "We've got to get rid of it, and fast!" he led the way towards the looming wall, admiring all the space in the field.

"Hey, what's that?" Red asked, pointing to some sort of… creature that seemed to be a round-shaped body supported on two spindly legs.

"That's a bombskit, I think," Gray answered, "Rusl was telling me about them once. I think they're harmless."

"Okay," Red answered. The five of them kept following the dirt path until it forked into three ways.

"Um, Kakariko Village is this way," Gray examined his map and picked the leftmost path and continued along it. As they were walking, Green heard some shouting in front of them.

"Do you hear…?" he began.

"HEEEEEEEEEY!" a person wearing a thin shirt and shorts, with a red hat and a tall flag sticking out from his backpack raced into sight. When he reached them, he stopped and warned, "Go no further! There is a black wall ahead that blocks the way! I thought I would deliver a few letters, but it seems impossible…" the strange guy rubbed the back of his head worriedly, "I am the honorable and dependable letter carrier, known to some as… the Postman." He introduced himself. That might explain the running getup and the small bunny head stitched on the front of his shirt.

"Now that I have introduced myself, please! Take these letters and read them at your own leisure!" he proudly handed them each an envelope out of his bag, humming a short little tune of completion as he did so.

"Thank yo-" vio started, but was interrupted.

"Well, my business is concluded! Onward to mail!" Then the Postman turned around and charged right back up the path he came from.

"…Okay…" Blue said slowly.

"How did we get letters? As far as I know, only you, and everyone else back in Ordon know we exist," Vio asked Gray.

"Uh, the Postman has a lot of ways he does things… I've only seen him a few times, and never spoken to him. He comes to Ordon occasionally and delivers letters to Rusl. I've never gotten one myself," Gray explained.

"Huh," Green opened the letter, wanting to know what it said. It couldn't be from anyone he didn't know, so…

It read;

*About Mail Delivery*

If I have a letter for you, I will approach at high speed! Please do not flee!

-The Postman

"I got a letter from the Postman!" Red exclaimed, "It says not to run away when he comes to us!"

"Mine says the same thing," Blue agreed, peering at Red's letter.

"I didn't know he gave anyone a letter like this," Gray said.

"Well, if he plans on getting us more letters, how does he know to give them to us? He doesn't know our names," Vio wondered.

No-one had an answer to that.

~/_\~

A couple minutes after that, the six travelers finally reached the wall of twilight. It hummed softly, bathing the grass and cliffs around them in a dull orange-gold. Midna hopped out in front of them.

"Hey, it's much closer than I thought…" She noted, "Remember, if you set foot in there, you guys might be animals again for quite some time… For at least as long as it takes to save the light of Eldin from the twilight, anyway…"

"That doesn't matter! We have to help!" Green insisted. Why was she warning them again? Of course they knew what would happen! They couldn't back down now! The imp grinned.

"So, shall we try to go see the light spirit of Eldin? Eee-hee! I'll let you in when you're ready!" Midna entered the twilight, the black wall rippling slightly in her wake.

"Come on," Green said, before determinedly leading the others to where Midna had disappeared. Almost at once a large orange hand reached out and grabbed them, dragging them roughly inside.

~/_\~

Green landed roughly on the ground, bracing himself for the discomfort of transforming. He wasn't disappointed. Strangely enough, turning into a rabbit didn't hurt this time around, and he also didn't fall unconscious. This was a big plus, and he was rather cheerful until he remembered exactly how short he was now- especially compared to Gray. Wolf Link stood up and shook his gray mane of fur, his body towering over the small, green-tinted rabbit's. It was a little intimidating and Green had to fight all of his rabbitly instincts that were screaming; run away! The big bad wolf is going to eat you!

Shaking himself, he asked, "Everyone alright?"

"Yeah!" Red said, bouncing on his hind legs a little, "I can jump high again!" he grinned as best as a rabbit could.

"Great, why don't you go jump off a cliff?" Blue grumbled. He looked far less than thrilled to be a small animal again. Green glared at him warningly.

"I'm good," Vio spoke up, swiveling his ears experimentally. Green nodded in agreement, and then jumped and growled in surprise when Midna landed hard on his back, back in her true colors instead of a shadow. Knowing any attempts to throw her off would be fruitless, he only glared at her.

"That's a good boy!" Midna crowed, patting Gray on his neck, "Now you five listen up; you need to listen to everything I say from now on! Ahh, look! How lovely! The black clouds of twilight are so fetching today… I feel so much more at ease here!"

She did seem to look a lot happier now. Green didn't quite agree with her on it though. He certainly didn't feel more at ease in the twilight.

"…And you guys look so much better like this than in those dusty old clothes, anyway. Eee-hee!"

That statement Green definitely did not agree with.

"HEY!" Blue protested angrily. Midna simply ignored him, leaning forward on Gray's back and kicking him in the sides like a horse.

"So, let's get going!" she demanded. Green knew they were doing this for a good cause, but Midna's attitude sometimes didn't make him very happy about doing it.

The group started down the path, Green still trying to get used to the half-hop he had to trot with. Rabbit's legs were built for jumping and running instead of walking. He still had to get used to his other senses as well. Last time he was a bunny, he had definitely noticed his much better hearing, smell, and sight, but he'd been too occupied and worried to really figure them all out. Now though, he could really tell exactly how much better they were.

He could spy another bombskit in the distance, and moving an ear in that direction, he could actually hear its feet tapping on the ground. As a hylian, that would have been impossible. As for smell, it really was a bit overwhelming. It had been horrible in those sewers, but now outside, it was a lot nicer, even if it was a little disconcerting to be able to smell a flower that sat at the base of a tree on the cliff behind them. Sight was by far the strangest though. Not only could he see things very far away in front of him, but he could also see a lot of behind him without turning his head (1).

"Hey, what's that?" Vio asked, running over to a stick shoved into the ground in the middle of the path. The others ran over too. Gray balked, apparently recognizing the carved object.

"What is it?" Red asked.

"…Wooden sword," Gray answered worriedly, "It used to be mine, but I let Talo use it."

"Hey, if we smelled it, couldn't we follow the scent to wherever they are?" Vio wondered.

"Yeah, I guess we could!" Gray cheered up a bit at that idea, bending down to smell the stick.

"See, isn't being animals much more convenient? I'd like to see you try doing that in your hylian forms. Eee hee!" Midna grinned while Blue purred angrily.

"Come on! The scent goes this way!" Red bounded down the path. Everyone else followed him. They ran until they reached a place where a bridge was. There were three shadow beasts wandering around in front of it. A barrier fell down and hummed to life around them, the five crouching down defensively.

"Midna, can you do that thing again?" Gray asked. She nodded, and kicked him in the sides, Gray moving forward after glaring at her.

Green let the duo do their stuff. Even though he wanted to help, it was rather hard to fight as a bunny. Also, if he was honest with himself, Wolf Link did scare him. Bunnies were preyed upon by wolves, and Green could never quite quench the instincts telling him to run and hide, even though he knew in his head it was a silly fear. Watching Gray fight didn't help his case.

Gray dispatched the shadow beings in record time, the whole fight lasting about thirty seconds. Midna's charge attack really worked well. The barrier fell away, and a portal erected itself right over… well, right over where the bridge was supposed to be. Green hadn't noticed until now, but the bridge was gone.

"What's this?! That's strange… the bridge is gone…" Midna stated.

"Yes, we can see that," Blue glowered.

"I wonder if this is the work of those shadow creatures… ugh… What a pain!" Midna frowned, "Ah, well, let's look for it… You! Get your map out!" she ordered.

"I don't have hands," Gray mentioned. Grumbling, Midna grabbed the map herself.

Giggling, Red said, "That's why we can be more convenient as hylians!" Midna ignored him.

"Ah… here!" the imp shoved the map under Gray's nose, her fingers pointing at some squiggly blue things on it.

"Whenever you destroy those creatures from the darkness, a portal opens up like this on the map. You hear me? It's called a portal, remember that. And… in those woods we came through… Yes! It's got to be around there!"

"You mean that bridge we saw leaning against that cliff face?" Vio asked.

"I say we go get it!" Blue crowed.

"Can you move something that big?" Green asked Midna. She nodded.

"Of course I can. I already have to lug you five around."

Just then, without warning, Green felt himself dissolving into black particles and lifted into the sky.

When he landed, he found he was in the clearing with the bridge.

"Gah, I will never get used to that," Gray groaned, "Could you warn us next time, Midna?"

"You knew I was going to do that, you should have been prepared. You know, most people can't leave the twilight that easily. You'd better be grateful!" The imp grinned mischievously.

"Let's just get the bridge," Green interrupted. Blue agreed.

Midna obliged, though Green could tell it definitely put more strain on her than five animals did, seeing as she had to use both of her hands and her hair. Green watched in fascination as the bridge floated over their heads, before dissolving into twilight squares. He and the others soon followed.

They landed back at the chasm, and Midna set the bridge down back where it was supposed to be.

"See! Just as I thought… Eee hee!" She giggled. "So, isn't the power of twilight amazing? Ask me if you need the power again. It should help you find what we're looking for, don't you think? Alright, let's get going!" Green sighed. She could be very annoying and full of herself.

They carried on, feeling a bit more cheerful after Gray, who had seen the map, pointed out that they were almost to Kakariko Village. What made them even happier was that the scent trail they had been following led straight to the place.

After racing across a stretch of open field, they found themselves staring at a large metal gate with spikes on top, blocking the way into the village which was surrounded by tall cliffs. A couple of bokoblin-like creatures guarded the fence on the other side, wielding clubs. They hadn't seen the group of animals yet, and Green wasn't really sure what they would do if they did.

"Huh…" Midna said, "What are they doing here? This is a pretty elaborate gate... What are they trying to keep in? …or out? I bet it will be worth our while to dig in…" she pointed to a low hole in the dirt path that ran under the gate.

Green, Red, Blue, and Vio all fit under with a bit of squeezing, but Gray had to dig and make the hole bigger for himself.

The bokoblin shadow-creatures finally caught sight of them and raced over, pointing and growling at them as if they had done something shameful.

Gray growled dangerously as they advanced, before Blue leaped onto one's face and chomped down on his nose. The others took this as a cue to go, leaping on top of their enemies and scratching and biting until they exploded into twilight squares. Then, with the path now free, they entered Kakariko Village.

1- Yes, I did research rabbits and wolves this time to make sure I'm getting all my facts right. It was actually pretty fascinating. If you're wondering if rabbits and wolves are colorblind or see in black and white, no they do not. Rabbits can see all colors, though supposedly some colors just jump out at them more. I'm just going with normal sight for the simplicity of it. Wolves too can see color, but it is unknown whether they are colorblind or not. I am also going with normal sight on this one.
