"God damnit ... Why does nothing work !" It have been 2 days since I arrived to Hyrule in a body that isn't mine, and I am officially pissed ! I've been stuck in this room since I arrived ... Being a creature sensitive to any kind of light, in a hot desert like this one was ... Not a fun situation to be in as I discovered...

'And waiting for the Twilight to settle in is ... Definitly not an option since this is the place they'll come from ... I don't know if they are searching for me or not, but hiding in the exact place where his army will come by is ... Really not a great option ...' I turned back to stare at this damn mirror ... During those two days I spended here, I barely sleeped, always keeping an eye on the mirror, fearing that at any moments those Shadow Beasts would come from it, ripping me in half in an instant ...

"Especially since I can't figure how to use her magic for the life of me!" Of course Midna had a lot of powers to defend herself against the light, or the monsters she encountered, now if I could only make them work ! Going by the desert at night was too dangerous ... Monsters were everywhere and I couldn't defend myself, plus if the sun rose before I got out of the desert ... Let's just say I prefer to not think about it...

'Hair Move! Punch in front! Do something damnit!' I was really getting frustrated at the lack of results, I couldn't manage to use any magic ... It just wouldn't work!

"Alright, alright, let's calm down, think about it ... Midna could move her own hair at will, transform it into a giant hand to punch, or grab people, so why can't I manage to even move it a little bit! She make it look soooo easy ... It look so natural to her ..." Suddenly, the idea hit me.

"OF COURSE! That's how! I've been trying to move it by thinking about it! But that's not how limbs works! If you think about moving your arm, it won't move because of that!"

'Alright ... I got to feel it ... Like moving an arm ... But on the top of my head ... Come on ...' I close my eyes, concentrating myself really hard trying to move it, and as I open them, I'm met with a giant hand made of orange hair.

"Yes! I did it! I made it! Finally! High five giant hand!" clapping my small hand with the one I just made felt weird, but god! I was too happy to think about that! Progress! Finally!

'Alright now ... I can either stay here, and try to learn how to float and merge with the shadows before going, or just protect myself from the sun thanks to my hair ... Wait does it burn too if only my hair meet the sun?' I stretch my hair outside, and when no pain followed, I concluded that my skin was the sensitive part of my body.

'God it felt weird to have my hair stretching like that haha, I wonder if that's what Luffy or Mr Fantastic feel everytime they use their powers ... Anyway! Staying here to get better at magic ... Or departing for Hyrule Castle ... Mmmmm ...' I turned back to the mirror, still glowing of the same holy light.

"Yeah ... I think I'll go ... Kinda ironic when a hot desert is more welcoming than an actual room like this one ... But it's true that I can't risk it" As it was decided, I took my first step into the outside world, by jumping out of the room and into the sand bellow, Hand over me to defend me against the sun, and I'm ready to go!

Look Out Hyrule! Here I come!

Zant was ecstatic, it have been 2 days since he took down this damn Princess, and took the throne of the Twilight Realm, his people may not have been really happy with their new ruler, but before his second refusal of the throne, and the imminent revolution that this pityful Royal Guard was preparing, the gods decided to repair this injustice once again.

A new power was given to him, with a simple wave of his arm, he released a ancient magic that stopped all of those ridiculous attempt all at once, transforming those weak, stupid soliders into obediant, powerful beasts, and the best part in all of that? His new Royal Guard did not hesitate one second to attack the civilian, making them a better version of themself, a version that could finally recognize his place as King!

Now, his god did not give him this power for nothing, he was part of a much bigger plan, he was tasked to take revenge on this pityful Light Realm that banished them Hundred of years before today, he was to be the messiah, bringing the divine will of his god to this world!

Those beasts made a fitting army, what better revenge on a realm that saw their powers as "too dangerous and powerful", than turning their own people against them! It seem that even the gods were quite fond of well served irony!

It is guided by this divine prescence that he discovered the gateway to the Light Realm, something hidden from anyone until today, but the Royal Family tricks were nothing against his all knowing God!

What he found in there though ... Made his otherwise perfect day turn to ash really quickly ... The mirror was here alright, but in front of it laid a robe ... A very familiar robe ... A robe that belonged to someone he served for years, and destoyed in matters of minutes, or so he thought ...

The pest was still alive ... Of course she wouldn't leave him alone ... She always had to ruin everything, she had to be there, to ruin his perfect moment of glory ... Even humiliation and death wasn't enough to stop her!

With that information in head, he decided to post pone the invasion of one more day ... Yes ... He would ask guidance from his god ... Knowledge that he do not possess ... To make this victory as quick and brutal as it can be, sending the message to both her, and the Light Realm, he had the power of the gods now.

He was unstoppable.

'Well, that's what you could expect from a Desert, empty, lonely, hot, and ... Incredibly boring ...' It have been at least a good two hours since I leaved the Arbiter's Grounds, I was cautious at first because I knew of a certain green asshat living down there, but it seemed pretty calm at the moment, I snuck in without troubles, and the King himself was nowhere in sight, it seem that Zant's prescence is really what got him back in the fight ... For now they are mostly passive, and that's good for me.

Thankfully, it seemed that I didn't need any sort of resources like water or food, at first I thought it was due to being a Twili, they may nourish themself way differently than Hylians, let alone Humans, but after a while I realised that it was more due to what I was wearing, the Helmet was treating my needs with it's magic, rather useful piece of gear I have there ... Definitly won't complain!

I was really starting to get tired though ... My body is still really small, so the distance I could go by without resting was affected by that ... I musn't be that far from the landing site of the canon, but the question is ... Once there, how do I go to Lake Hylia, and to Hyrule Castle?

With those questions in head, I decided to lay down for a bit, I was in luck as the twilight just started to settle in ...

'God ... I always loved to watch the sun set like this... Such a beautiful view ...' I sighed deeply, while thinking back of all the things I lost ...

"I wonder if ... If I'll ever get back there ... I have too ... I can't stay here while being away from them all ... While being away from him ..." Without realizing it ... A tear was rolling down my cheek, and before I knew it, this single tear transformed into a torrent

Since I got here ... I was in constant fear of dying due to that god forsaken mirror ... But now that I'm actually a bit safer and able to think about it ... I really lost everything, didn't I? I don't even know why, why did that happen to me ... And how did that happen to me ... I played through this game enough time to know the script almost perfectly but ... It still stayed fiction to me, no matter how much I liked this universe and it's characters ... I never wished for it to become reality ... Yet here I was ...

I take my slap myself lightly on the cheek, getting a hold at myself 'Come on, stop crying, yes you miss them, yes you miss him ... And yes you never wished for that to happen, but you have no choice right now girl, it's your reality whether you want it or not, if something from this universe got me here, then there must always be a way back, that's always how it work ... right?'

"I have to believe in it, I have to believe that a way back exist, but to discover it, I need to do something else than laying in that desert all alone while crying like a baby! So come on! I have to get moving!" I cheered myself up as I stand up once again, watching the twilight slowly becomming a night sky, decided to move on and get to that goddesses forsaken castle!

"The question still stand though ... How do I get out of there ... I know that Midna can float but ... How?" I was so focused on getting my hair to work during those 2 days, that I barely tried anything else ... But now I was really needing it ...

'Alright, let's think about this from a logical standpoint as well ... Midna is very rarely seen on foot, always floating or on Wolf Link, so floating must be easier for her than walking actually ... Is it like in Peter Pan where I need to believe in it to fly ? No ... No that's ridiculous ... I don't have any magic powder on me or anything ... Just the magic from ... My ... Mask' Slowly realising it.

"Magic from my mask, that must be it! This warm and strange feeling I have around my head ... It must be magic! I felt something similar when using my hair earlier! If I can just try and spread it over my body ..."

I focus on my head, alright, warm feeling, let's concentrate on that ... Let's try to sloooooowly spread it to my chest ... Then to my arms ... Then to my legs ... 'And now! Float!' I jump high from where I was standing, and close my eyes kinda expecting it to not work, and to be met with a mouthful of sand, but as I open them, I see the sand just a few milimeters away from my face, but not connecting with it.

I turn my head back to the rest of my body ... to see it standing upside down, in the air, totally still "It WORKED! Yes! I'm floating! I'm really floa-ouch" I lost control in my exitement in crashed head first in the sand.

I understand now ... I'm not moving myself with my magic or anything of the sort, I'm coating myself with it, which nullify the gravity near me, after that, floating become as easy as walking straight!

"Ow ... I have to stay focused, but it worked! I can fly now! Ah traveling will be much easier now! Bye Bye Gerudo Dessert! I can fly now! No more feets covered in sand now!" I gigle really happy at my discovery, before spreading the magic over me once again, and floating away, to Hyrule Castle we go!

Once floating was possible, the travel time to Hyrule Castle was reduced greatly, it's without much problem, and in a record time, that I reached the rooftop of this Castle, the guards could really gain something at looking up sometimes ... But I guess I shouldn't complain about their incompetence, it's doing me a favor ... Have to stay focused on flying though, I REALLY don't wanna fall in there.

'Alright ... That's the main building ... The throne room where we fight Ganondorf must be up there, so the tower where Zelda's room is must be ...' I spot a familiar rooftop "Right there ... Gotcha Princess"

I sneaked in by the window, just like Wolf Link would later on, and waited at the door, wondering how I should approach that ...

'I can't really knock right here ... Especially since I don't know if she's alone or not .. I don't know how to merge with the shadows yet, so that's out of the way ... Maybe I should just wait it out?' I was ordering my thoughts together as I suddenly got surprised by a voice, coming right from the room I was observing.

"I know you're there, I sense no ill intent from you, but if you do not show yourself, I will not hesitate to call up the Royal Guard" She said with a calm and serious voice 'Yeah ... The Royal Guard ... Like they could do anything against me ... Not that they would even try ... But I guess that respond to my question about approaching her?'

I slowly open the door, so it was really her ... Right in front of me laid Zelda, the Princess of Hyrule, it seemed that she is surprised to find someone of my height, she was looking a bit to high at the door before I opened it ... 'God, I'm hella nervous, I better not throw that up, it's my only chance at maybe saving Hyrule before Zant's even try anything ...'

"Hello, Princess, my name is ... Midna" Wow, it feel so weird to use that name as my own ... As I looked back at her, I could see confusion in the way she looked at me.

"What ... What are you, an imp of some sort?" She asked coldly.

"That ... That would be technically correct, but I am a Twili to be more exact, I think that you recognize what I am wearing?" Long shot ... But she should know what a Fused Shadow is in theory ...

"... That is a forbidden artefact, but none of the 3 detained in this realm ressemble this one, you are the descendant of the Interloopers aren't you ? What buisness does your race have in Hyrule, and how did you bypass the banishement of the Goddesses?"

That ... That is a good question actually, I have no idea how Midna ended here, I just gained counsciousness after that ... Well, I hope that the Mirror is enough of an explanation for her "The Mirror of Twilight" I said.

Stunned for a minute, she respond "Excuse me ? The Mirror of Twilight you say ? But it's only a legend ... Through hundred of years since the banishement of your people, the Mirror was never found ... How is that possible ..."

"Well, it clearly exist if I'm here, kinda a living proof of it, am I not?" Kinda annoyed by those questions, I decided to skip directly to the main point "Princess, if I'm here today, it is to warn you about an imminent danger, our ... King ... Found the part of the mirror that was left in the Twilight Realm, and found a way to activate it again" Technically bullshitting, but it might be true, I don't know how it went exactly.

"He is planning an invasion against the Light Realm, and I am here to warn you about it, his army is compossed of Shadow Beast more ferocious that anything this Realm ever had ... You would need to prepare yourself good for the battle to stand a chance, also to evacuate the civilians for no ca-"

"And why should I believe you?" She interrupted me suddenly.

Uh ? "Excuse me ?"

"Why, should I, believe you?" She repeated like she was talking to a child ... That was annoying ... "Will it is true that I sense no ill intent from you, I do feel that you are hiding things from me, why should I believe a creature from a race banished hundred of years ago on the fate of a war concerning your people and mine?"

I can't believe it ... "Because I'm telling you the truth! Our King enslaved our race! Transformed them into Mindless Beasts, and he's planning to do the exact same with your own Realm if you don't do anything!"

"Even if your story is true, I have no reasons to fear, a few years ago the Royal Knights of Hyrule raided against the one we named "The King of Evil" and his army, and they came back with little to no casualities, with their leader captured, I have no reason to fear your King, Imp" ... Is she for real ? Are we talking about the same Royal Guard? The one who got wiped out in a matter of minute once Zant invaded?

"You are not seriously betting the life of civilians and soliders alike, just because you're underestimating this threat and overestimating your own guards? You're about to loose your whole Kingdom because of that Princess!" I snap at her, I can't believe it ... Does she have the Triforce of Wisdom? Or the one of delusion!

"I would advise you to watch your tongue, Imp, Or I will call this very same Royal Guard to dispatch you this instant!" She reply angrily at me.

... I see ... I see it now ... Midna did say how much she despised Zelda for being a sheltered princess ... I can definitly see why now ...

"Tell me Princess ... You ever heard of that boat? Said to be indestructible, made of the most resistant matters possible, everyone said it was absolutly unsinkable, do you know what happened to it? It met up with something stronger than it was, and sunk down, but because oh how sure people were about his indestructability, they never went on to prepare securities in case something happened, and because of that, almost all the passengers of the boat died in that accident ..." The Titanic is as unsinkable as the Royal Guard is unbeateable ... I know it won't change her mind, but ...

"Something very similar is about to happen to you and your Royal Guard Princess, I'll take my leave now but I'll be back, and believe me, I won't have any remorse at reminding you of all the innocent lives you sentenced to death ..." The venom was barely contained in my voice, how could she ... She was their ruler, those people counted on her ...

"Umph, and what will you do then, Imp? Return to your King and tell him about this realm?" She really didn't seem used to being talked back like this, good, it will teach her.

I throw a side glance at her before turning back "No." I said "I will be on the search for one person, one that will truly help this realm, and will repair the mistake you're gonna make. Goodbye for now Princess, I hope that the next time we'll meet, you'll have realised how dangerous it is to rely on delusions..." And with that, I flew by the Window again, leaving the dumbfounded Princess.

Zelda was of no use ... She truly is just full of herself and of her Kingdom, I know that this is something that will change, but I also know the cost for that change to occur ... I only have one solution left.

And with it in mind, I was off to Faron Woods, to find the one that would become The Hero of Twilight.

And with that the Second chapter is done ! Was a pretty long one as I had to get some more action packed in it, I read all of your commentary, and I have to say that it's heartwarming to see so much support, thank you all for that !

I followed the advice that was given to me, and got the help of a friend to beta read any chapters before posting them, unfortunatly, this chapter couldn't be beta read due to timing inconvenience, it will be corrected later on though, hope the quality of those chapters will be better thanks to that !

So, lots of things happened in there, discovering how to use magic is ... Not something natural for humans like us, so it wouldn't make much sense for me to have everything in the beginning, I have to learn how to use them, and for that, I have to rely on my knowledge of the game, which is ... Not always easy to do haha

We also get some more of Zant's POV, some reasoning as to why he didn't invade the Light Realm yet, as well as showing what he did during those 3 days, thought it could be interesting to have that in between my travels

And yes, Zelda is ... Well ... Let's just say that I do believe that Midna had a reason to hate her at first, which is what I tried to show here, Ganondorf was viewed as the biggest threat that Hyrule ever known, the fact that the Royal Guard disposed of him and have him (semingly) executed, would make a sheltered Princess that never heard of anything bigger, pretty confident in her Guards Strength, which is unfortunatly misplaced ... Something that Me-dna will not hesitate to bring back once they meet her again, she ... Didn't really take kindly her attitude ...

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, and once again, as it is my first work of fiction, any critisism is welcomed !
