'Well, here I go' He noticed me now, there was no way I could back down from that, I slowly slipped into the shadows and inside the cell, keeping my distance with him for a bit.

Ah … It's like that time when I met Zelda all over again, my heart is racing and I'm too stressed about fucking it up! Even if …. With that last encounter … I wasn't the one who did something wrong, anyway!

He looked at me with confused and wary eyes, I can get him … After all, while the Shadow Beasts looked differently than what they once were, they still had the same skin color and marks as me, and were wearing a mask as well. I must look really suspicious to him.

"You are a lot of trouble to find, you know that?" … Partially because of me … But that's a story for another time.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not here to hurt you, or I would already have don't you think? I'm here to help you, but for that you need to let me" Let's try to keep it cool, and get him to trust me.

He seem to calm down a little bit, 'Good, now I can burst you out of th-' I slowly realise …

I have no idea how to create a projectile! She burst him out with a shadow ball, but I never attempted that before! What shall I do!

I see him looking at me with very confused eyes 'Don't look at me like that Link! I'm trying to find a way to not seem like a total idiot!'

'Alright, alright, let's try to fluke it' I then turn back to him, telling him "Stay very still alright? I wouldn't want to hurt you with that" I put my hand one over the other, and try to concentrate my magic in there.

I see a little spark in the middle, as it start growing and growing in size until it's the size of a tennis ball 'Yes! It worked! I won't seem like a random idiot now! … How do I throw it now …'

I look at the chain retaining his paw, and slowly swipe my hand away, releasing the energy and cutting his chain, "There you go! Doesn't it feel good to be free?" I am … so glad it worked, and you must never know how much luck I just had with that Link, Never.

'Now, now, let's get him out of there' I tell myself, 'I can't destroy the door, it would alert the guards and Link would just get captured again, so the only other option is …' I look at the Wooden boxes on the floor, exactly at the same place than in the game, perfect!

"Well now, Mr Wolf, you got to dig yourself out of here" I tell him, before punching the boxes away with my hair "Literally, those paws are good at that, so make use of that" I sneak out of the cell again, while I see him slowly digging his way out.

"Good! Seem to know your way around this body! Just like you've been a Wolf all your life!" He turn back to me, glaring at me for a bit, 'Well, isn't that a fantastic way to thank me, oh well.'

"Yes, I know, that's not the case, but you are a beast at the moment, better make use of it, don't you think?" He seem to calm down a bit, but still wary.

"I'll tell you what I know of your situation, but we better get out of here first, before the guards find us and put you in there again, neither of us want that, right?" I jump high using my magic, landing on his back.

On second thought, maybe I should have warned him before … He barked and started moving in all directions, aiming to make me get off, 'My head was already spinning from stress, you really didn't need to add that, jackass!'

"Shhhh, What did I tell you about the guards!" I tell him quietly in his ears, "I went all the way around here to find you, giving me a ride won't kill you, the guards will though, so either you come with me and I show you how to get out of here, or you get me off and I leave you here with the guards, which one will it be?"

I know I shouldn't be mean to him like that, and I can fly, but hey, his back is comfortable, and the fire arrow from earlier still hurt a bit "The cell on your right, go there, quick!" I tell him as he start running there.

I activate the switch, and we were off to the sewers together…

We had just arrived in there when Link suddenly stopped, looking on his right, I was confused for a minute before I saw the soul floating there, they are … Much harder to spot than in a crowd, that's for sure.

"You can see him, right? It come from your beast side, I cannot see him, but I can definitely guess who he is… After all, Royal Guards are generally found in Hyrule Castle …" I dropped the bomb directly, and waited for him to react, he barked suddenly, I didn't need to understand his words to know what he meant.

I silently nodded "Yep, you heard me, Hyrule Castle, I'm pretty sure it looked more flashy in your dreams, but it's the truth... " I look at him, seeing his head perked up toward me, waiting for me to continue.

"Hey, come on, the guards don't know about this place yet, but we could still get caught if they discover it by accident." Doubt that the Shadow Beasts could, they are pretty dumb creature, but I would love to keep on moving so … "Keep on moving, I'll talk along the way."

"What you saw right there, was the soul of this guard, this "Light" realm just lost it's light, making all the inhabitant of this dimension a simple soul …" I pause "Well … Everyone, except you, you turned into a beast instead." I see him turning his head toward me questionably.

"Keep your head on the road! Well on the path, same thing." He grunt a bit before turning his head back there, and jumping in the water. "No, I don't know why that happened to you" Lies, but he can't know that yet. "But as of now, you're the only light realmer that is aware of what happened…"

"Well .. You, and another person that I would love for you to meet…" Can't seem to hold back the venom while thinking about her… But he didn't seem to have noticed. "And lucky us! She live right there! What a great coincidence, right? But first, we have to get out of this… sewer…" He look at me horrified.

"Yeah, you've been swimming in dirty water since earlier, you might want to clean yourself out before meeting her, you're in no shape to meet our lady friend Eh-hee-hee!" Oh wow … That was exactly the way Midna laughed, god it feel weird to hear that from my own voice.

Made me realise that since I got here, I really didn't get any moment of breaks … It's the first time in 5 days that I managed to let a genuine laugh … 'Thank you Link, I really needed to laugh a bit' I thought, But from his angry expression, he wasn't all happy about me laughing at him.

"Don't glare at me like that, it's not like what I said is untrue, you can smell yourself better than I can, you should know that" He turn his head around quickly, god I made him embarrassed Eh-hee-hee!

Soon enough, we arrive at the tower room, looking up I said to myself 'Damn that's high, well guess we better start climbing' I see Link looking at it the same way and decided to taunt him a bit "Feeling up for a race Wolfie? The first at the top win!" He glare at me a bit.

"Come on, I'm only joking, do yourself a favor, don't take everything I say seriously" He let out what is akin to a sigh before going on his way to the stairs 'Tough crowd …'

As he reach the stairs, I see them crumble before his paw as he yell by instinct "Look Out!" before grabbing him with my hair, 'Close one …' I place him back on solid ground before telling him "Be careful where you walk, this Castle is… Kinda not in it's best shape at the moment." He looked at me thankfully, before jumping through the gap.

Continuing on our way, jumping and climbing, we soon reach the top of the castle as one of those giant birds appear, he attacked us quickly before flying away, Link really didn't get the reaction time needed to get to him, I watched that back and forth for a moment before getting really bored of doing nothing.

"Alright, you really don't seem to manage with this bird, let me help you, okay?" He slowly nod as I get out of his back 'Alright, let's take a page from Tetra on this one!' I put my hand on the floor laid flat against the cold floor as I tell him to hop in.

He does just that, before I smirk at him "Are you ready?" He look at me confused.. 'Oh my poor Wolf, you don't know what's coming for you, and neither does this bird!'

"Three!" My hand start moving a bit from the ground as Link try to keep a balance on it while looking at me questionably, "Two!" Hand is now a bit off the floor, and aimed toward the bird while keeping the balance for Link, "One!" That's when I saw it, the realisation in his eyes as he glare at me before I pointed toward the bird.

He look back at him, in battle position as I say"Go!" Before launching him with all the forces I could toward the bird, successfully hitting him with my Link Projectile, pumping my hand in the air, I let out a "Success!" yell, while the bird was down and exploding in a puff of twilight particles. Link landed a few feet away, on his paw, and totally unarmed.

He looked way less pleased while he stared angrily at me, "Come on! It worked, didn't it? And it's not my fault if you make a good projectile!" He continued to give me the angry stare, while I punched the door open, allowing both of us to pass, he runned past me and to the outside.

'Okay … I get it … No ride for me for now, mister decided to be moody!' I follow him quietly as we reach the outside of the Castle, being in the middle of the pouring rain, I look at him, smirking a bit "Well, at least that take care of your cleaning problem Eh-hee-hee!" Let's just say that he didn't take that remark kindly either…

"Alright, Alright, I get it, I'll make it up to you, let's make a deal, I get on your back again, you stop glaring at me, and in exchange" I point to the path waiting for us, and the multiple monsters there, "I take care of these for you, good for you?" He sighed again while giving me a sign to get on his back.

Installed on him again, we were ready to go to Zelda's room, I look around at the multiple birds just waiting for us 'God, I hated this zone the first time I played through it … Such an annoying moment! Falling down was so easy there, lucky bastard won't have to go through that, I'm doing all the hard work for him…'

As we arrive to the first nest of those creature, I use my hair hand to reach for one of them, taking him by the claw, I look on my side as I see another one of those going for me, I smack him with the one I was holding, before smacking them both again to the ground "And stay down!" Wow, that was… Kinda brutal not gonna lie, really got caught in the moment.

We continued on our way when we meet the second pair of bird a little further, "Keep on running" I tell him, he does just that as I get my hair to grab one of them, before smacking him on the ground while running, and then throwing him away on the second bird, 'Good to know that Hyrule Warriors is a legit way to battle!'

Soon enough, we arrived on that familiar rooftop, I make my way to the window, gesturing to Link for him to come, he jump to me, and I was back to this god forsaken staircase, slowly making our way to Zelda's room, Link open the door slowly with his muzzle and entered the room.

The reaction of Link to Zelda, even if I knew it, did make me laugh a bit internally 'Yep Wolfie, you have all the reason to bark at her, she's the one who got you in all this mess', as soon as she turn back and see both of us, I can see the pain in her eyes, and the fear when looking at me.

'Ohh, not so high and mighty anymore princess, uh?' I thought to myself as she look at me before finally talking "... Midna" she say while looking away.

"You remember my name now? Wow, I'm so flattered" If looks could kill, she'll be dead on the spot right now, and she seemed to realise that.

"So, not threatening me to call your Invincible Royal Guard now? I do wonder where they are at the moment! Probably in vacation with half the population of Castle Town, uh?" Time for your Karma, Princess

"Midna please I …" She looks away 'not even capable of facing me in the eyes uh? You're pathetic Zelda…'

"Please what? Stop telling you how half of Hyrule is dead, and the other half stuck as simple spirits without even knowing it, all of that because of you? How you sent away and treated like shit the only person that could help you face this threat you knew nothing about?"I reply, raising my voice at each propositions.

"I … I never wanted too …" She start, but I cut her off.

"You aren't a child, Zelda, you fucked up big time, now it's time to face off the consequences of your acts!" I got interrupted by Link, while confused by all of that, he still glared at me, must not appreciate how I talk to the royal brat.

"Oh! Why don't you tell him? Why don't you tell him ALL about how you're unsinkable boat killed millions of persons just because you decided that pride was more important than the people that were counting on you?!" She finally look at Link, taking her stare away from me.

"You were imprisoned … What happened to you …" She say looking at his paw.

"You happened to him, because of your mistake, he had to suffer through all sorts of pain, and even lose his original body! He deserve to know the truth, and he deserve to hear it from you, Twilight Brat" She wasn't even worthy of her "princess" title, "brat" was far more fitting her.

She inspect him, while the Triforce shine of her hand 'Oh sweet irony, even you know how unfitting that piece is in there, Zelda' She suddenly jerk away, holding her hand in pain, while looking at me weirdly.

'What … Happened to her … Side effect of seeing how much pain she put him through or something? But why is she looking at me… Ah doesn't matter!' "I'll leave you to tell him all the troubles you caused to this land, and you better not leave anything out, he'll know it from me anyway. And as you can guess, I won't be kind about it."

I turn back to Link "Join me outside once she's finished, I have enough of being in the same room as her" I glare dagger at her one last time, and before leaving, I tell her "Goddesses really have a shitty way of picking their chosen ones, don't they?"

'God damn, she get me angry by the sole fact of being in the same room as me, she's intoxicating the air with her poisonous presence!' I turn back against the tower, as I remember something suddenly…

'Um … How am I supposed to teleport him out of there already?' Dammit, I have too much power to learn! Well, the story of all her failure should take a while with how good she is at making them… So it should give me enough time to practice.

'Let's see, Midna could warp herself and Link away as much as she wanted, but only to places where a portal already existed, I know that one of those is near Ordon, in the Spirit's Spring, but how do I warp myself there?'

A memory suddenly hit me, earlier … When King Bubblin used his horn … I felt something … And I'm pretty sure it's linked to that, that's how he summoned his portal after all…' I try my best to put myself back in the moment.

"Come on! Remember! How was it when he blew that horn!" Thinking hard about it, it felt like a surge of magic… but it wasn't like it just popped in the air… No, something came out of the horn, I … The horn had a sort of magic, that was sended up, and created the portal…

'Bit of magic, sended up in the air to spread out, let's see if I can reproduce that…' I tell myself, before getting to work, I have to get it before he come back…

But, like I said, it should really take him a while if Zelda is counting her mistake to him

Link was … Really confused about his day, he was supposed to get ready to deliver a sword at Hyrule Castle, and then suddenly he found himself dragged into an unexplainable mess … What had happened to him today…

He got transformed into a wolf, locked in a cell, got bursted out of that cell by a sort of Imp, learn that he DID get in Hyrule Castle after all, and then met the princess… What a day …

He … Really did not know what to think of this Imp, Midna was her name right? On one hand she's been nothing but helpful since he met her, on the other hand, she had the weirdest plans, a snarky attitude, disrespected the princess and yelled at her, it was their ruler! She deserved respect, not being yelled at!

He couldn't point it out, but she just seemed … Nervous at first? He was so extremely confused by this person, and it was driving him crazy, he couldn't seem to get a read on that girl…

Well, she was gone outside after yelling at the princess just now, he would have given her a piece of his mind, if only he could talk … The poor princess looked like she was gonna break down, Midna really did a number on her…

Well, no choice but to stay with her, and listen to what she have to say, he couldn't offer much support to her unfortunately… He suddenly got interrupted in his thought by the princess, who seemed to have found her voice back.

"I … She isn't wrong unfortunatly …" Uh ? "It's truly my fault ... " She turn back, looking at the window for a moment, before talking again … "All of this is … I doomed my own kingdom, I'm a sorry excuse of a princess…" Oh no … It was worse than he thought … Midna truly broke her …

He offered his head to the princess, trying to comfort her all he could, and while looking at him, she got a pained expression as she told him "She is right, you deserve to know what I did, you deserve to know all about the misery I inflicted to this kingdom, and to you …"

He stayed quiet, and start listening to her "Midna … Came by a few days before today … She had info about the one who invaded us today, and she snuck past the guards to tell me about it…" a weak and painful laugh escape her lips "This should have been my first hint to stop thinking so highly of my guards in insight … But I was a fool …"

She pointed to the door silently "She came by that very door, determined to get all the info she had to me, so that I could prepare for this battle, and I …" She paused for a minute "I chased her off …" Link was confused, waiting for the rest.

"I did not believe her, I did not prepare anything because I believed this threat she was warning us about to not be important enough … She warned me multiple times about the consequences of my acts, but I was blinded with pride, and never thought of what could happen may I had been wrong" She turned away for a few second, as her voice started shaking.

"As you saw, this invasion did happen … And my guards were so illy prepared … It didn't take more than an hour for them to fall down, all of them, along with … Half of the civilians who couldn't escape in time …" Tears were falling on the floor, as Link was absolutely stunned by what he was hearing.

"She … She told me that she would come back with someone that could repair the mess I made … And the next time I saw her, was just now, coming by this door with you… I won't do the mistake of distrusting her a second time… So …" She slowly started bowing down to Link, to his great confusion.

"Please, I beg of you, Hero, save Hyrule, slay down the one we call the King of Twilight, and free this realm and it's inhabitant, I was a useless princess to this kingdom that was counting on me, but Midna know things that I don't, and she believe that you are the key to free everyone, so I beg of you, follow her and save them all …" She paused " … You may be our last hope …"

All of this information stunned the beast, after a minute or so, he slowly turned back toward the door, Zelda did not need to understand him to know where he was going …

He was on his way to join Midna once again.

Alright! And that's it for Chapter 4 everyone ! I have to admit, it may have been the hardest to made yet, translating the gameplay phase to writing was tough, but I can only hope that I did a good job at that.

Lots of things happenned, we saw the beginning of our iconic duo, as Me-Dna tried her best to use her knowledge and powers to assist Link all she can, without giving herself out, Link is learning how to deal with her while going forward in his search of answers.

Me-Dna met Zelda again after everything went on, and like promised … She didn't hold back on the princess, she desepise her with all her being, especially after she learned of just how much people she couldn't save anymore due to Zelda's mistake, in return it putted Zelda through a lot of emotions, as she realised just how bad the consequences of her decision are.

Once again, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and look forward to what is to come ! The plot as finally started, and we're about to see the game unfold in a very different manners, "One flap of a Butterfly wing …"
