~Your POV~

Midna teleported us back in Ordon spring, but we couldn't see her, since she was a creature of twilight.
I ran towards my house, but when I went through the gate "So, what's next?" Midna appeared from my shadow, she was all black, a shadow herself.

"Eee hee hee! Did you think I disappeared? Listen, both of you, there's another thing I forgot to tell you...Don't think you can just run off and save your friends, because you can't. Just beyond that bridge, the land is covered in twilight. And last time a shadow beast pulled you through the curtain of twilight... But if you want to go that way, you'll need the cooperation of someone FROM the twilight...like me! So you really have no choice but to do what I say. Saving your friends and all that...Well that'll depends on your actions. Because you can't trust words you know. Right now, I want a sword and shield that'll suit me, also a bow and arrows. You do understand me, don't you? Eee hee hee! So, what do you plan to do?While you're here dawdling, the twilight continues to expand. Come on! Hurry it up!"

I began to run again, still towards my home, knowing that the bow will be there, as well for the arrows. I heard the feet of Link following me. I managed to open the door and got near my bow and arrows, taking them with me. I turned around and went out. I then turned to Link. "We should find the sword and shield..." He nodded.

"Well, maybe the villagers know something about that, and maybe somehow guide us where the weapons are."

"And you think that they will help two creatures like us?...Look, maybe the monsters that attacked us in the spring attacked them too. They will see us as monsters!" Link was looking at me, his mouth slightly opened in shock "S-Sorry...I shouldn't have said that..." I said, ashamed and looking at the ground.

"It's fine, and you're right, (Y/N), they will freak out if they see us..." I looked up and if I was human, I would have smiled to him. Then I felt a nudge on my side and turned, seeing Link nodding towards the way to the village. I nodded, then made our way to Link's house and both killed the two bulbins that were on our way. We were going to go through the gate, but someone called us, making both of us growl and turn around. There was a squirrel in front of Link's door 'Maybe it stole some food...' I thought to myself as the little animal talked.

"Thank you for taking care of those bad guys! They made both the village and the forest a mess...they kidnapped the village children... But I know...you both aren't one of them. I can tell, you smell like the trees of Ordon... If you run into trouble, try talking to the animals. We animals understand one another, so you'll be all right!" And it scurried off. I turned to Link.

"...I was sure the monsters were going to do that..." I looked down in shame. Link came over me and softly went to me side, and I, unconsciously, rubbed my head against his, purring softly. He looked at me quite surprised and found it really cute, if he was human, he would have blushed a deep red.

"Hey (Y/N)?"

"Yes?"

"You're cute when you purr." He chuckled and I stopped purring, embarrassed.

"S-Sorry! I didn't meant to...Oh Goddesses..." I said, looking around, avoiding his gaze. I would have blushed darkly if I could. He chuckled again.

"We should get going."

"O-Okay." I stuttered 'Goddess! Why the hell am I stuttering?' He went through the gate with me walking closely behind him.
We both went through and saw Hanch (Beth's father) complaining and saying that he regrets being a "good-for-nothing" father. I looked around and found some lights, deciding to go there and see who was in the light. We saw Mayor Bo and Jaggle (Malo and Talo's father) talking about a shield. They started to talk a bit too quiet, so we both went to the tall grass and listened to them.

"- ...So that shield is still in your house, right?

-Uh, yeah, it should be in our storage loft.

-Good, grab it quick as you can! Rusl got wounded pretty bad, so he can't go search for the kids. I'll take over for him.

-But Rusl had a sword, Mayor! And he STILL got hurt! If you're unarmed, you're done for!

-I'll be fine. The sword we were going to present to the royal family should still be at Rusl's house.

-Oh yeah? All right, I understand, Mayor. I'll hurry up and get that shield. You just wait here..." I then saw Link getting up and they noticed him. I mentally facepalmed and they both ran off.

"Great job, Link..." he turned to me.

"-Hey! that was that or else that would have get the shield before us.

-Yeah yeah, anyway, we should split up: I go get the sword and you the shield? I think you'll need to ask Midna to help you."

He nodded and I ran to Rusl house, trying not to be seen. I was there and got behind the house when I heard Hanch crying "Mon-MONSTER!" I sighed deeply, yet quietly, shaking my head. 'Goddess, how can he be this selfish?' I heard talking from the front of the house and went carefully there. I saw Rusl and Uli talking, then we heard a loud splash making me sigh again.

"What was that sound? The children could not have returned...could they? I must go out and search one last time. You get inside the house. I have placed the sword that was to be our gift to Hyrule on the couch. If the mayor comes for it, please give it to him."

I had heard enough to know where the sword was, so I went to the side of the house, where I spotted a hole beside the woodpile. I dug in and arrived in the house, taking the sword, I ran to the same hole. I then went to the entrance of the village and there were standing...no, sitting, Link. I showed him the sword and saw Midna coming out of his shadow.

"All right...So now you have a sword. Looks like you both can actually be useful when you concentrate! All right... No more detours. I'm going to take you back into the twilight. Go back to the woods where you both first transformed in that shape!" She came back in my shadow and we both made our way towards Faron Woods. When we heard a call from the spring, we went towards it.

"You have...been transformed...by the power...of shadow... Come...to me..." We stepped a bit towards the waterfall then suddenly pillars fell down from the sky, making a magic wall. I took my defence position and growled. "Beware...A shadow being...approaches..." Just after the voice finished, a dark and red portal appeared in the sky, right on top of us. A creature fell from it and landed almost on top of me, but I jumped out of the way.

When it got up, we both attacked him and hit it three times before it died. He became teal particles (I'm trying to describe it, it's hard though...) that formed an other portal, with the same colour as the particles.

I looked around us then everything seemed to turn darker and the rocks in the water seemed to glow, as well as did the liquid. We saw a sphere of light, and from it a majestic light creature came from it.

"O brave youth and maiden... I am one of four light spirits that protect Hyrule at the behest of the gods. My name is Ordona" It talked with the same voice which warned us from the shadow beast. I found it quite comforting and full of wisdom.
"The black beast you slew was a shadow being. It had come to seize the power of light I wield. My brethren in Hyrule have already had their light stolen by these fell beasts. The entire kingdom has been reduced to a netherworld ruled by the cursed powers of darkness. The blight will not stop with Hyrule. Before long, the entire world of light will fall into the hands of the king who rules the twilight. To save this land from the king of twilight, the lost light must be recovered. The three light spirits who have lost their light must be revived. There is but two who can revive them and redeem this land...You. You still have not discovered your true power...Those transformed from twilight usually cannot recover their original forms...Unless...If you were to return to Faron Woods where you were first transformed...If you were to revive the light spirit...There, by the power of the light spirit, you may find the means to regain your other state of being..."

And Ordona disappeared, I then turned to Link and he looked back at me. He nodded and we both turned away, running towards Faron Woods.

We crossed the bridge and went in front of the wall. I felt really uneasy about this, but I knew what were beyond this curtain.
Midna appeared.

"Hey...Look...The Faron Woods that you know so well...They're now covered in twilight. You may not be able to come back here, but...Do you still want to go?" We both nodded and then she went through the curtain and suddenly a big orange hand came and grabbed both of us, dragging our bodies through the wall.

I looked around, barely recognizing the once familiar woods and looked at Link with Midna on his back. She had the shield on her face, the sword in her hand, the bow and arrows on her back.

"Hmm! So that's the weapons you use in your world?" She took the sword in her other hand and made a few slashes, she almost cut Link's head off!

"Hey! careful with that!" I said but only Link heard me, looking at me, saying.

'I know, but she can't hear us...' with his shining blue eyes.

"You really think this thing can slay the creatures of twilight?" Midna said "...Well I won't use these, but I'll hang on to them for you!" she added, crossing her arms, and then she snapped her fingers, making the weapons disappeared.

I glared at her and she sighed lightly "All right, a promise is a promise...I trust you both enough to help." She got up from Link, floating around me and whispered in my round ear "In exchange for my help, though, I need you to gather some things for me." I looked at Link, telling him what she just said to me, he glared at her. "Look, I can't tell you all the details now, but it'll be easy, trust me..." She sat on my back and said outloud "But enough about that. Do you hear that noise? It's the lamentation of the spirit that its light stolen...Where in the world could it be? Eee hee! Better get going, don't you think? Don't blame me for your world's fate if you don't hurry up and that light!"She hummed a tune "Come on! Snap of it!"

I looked at Link and started to run towards the source of the noise. Link kept following me, with Midna still on my back. I kept running, but pillars appeared and made a circle around us, blocking our way. The portal appeared and three shadow beasts fell from it. The all got up. "Aww...We're penned in again! Pffft! Who do they think they're dealing with? No need to take these little pests on one at a time, right? You can take them all at once! So...You both can handle this by yourself, can't you? Good luck! 'Bye!" and she got off my back, leaving me and Link by ourselves to defeat those beasts. I took one and Link took the other, but once we were done with ours, the last beasts screeched, waking up the other two.

"How?" We tried another time but the same thing happened. I looked around and felt something straddling my back, again.

"What's the holdup?" Midna asked "If you leave the last one alive, it's just going to use that shriek to bring the others back. Listen, let me help you out here! Just move like I tell you! I'll expand an energy field and you enclose your enemies within it and you'll attack them all!" I did as told, and hit them all. They all fell down and they became particles of teal portal. I looked around and saw a few healing hearts on the ground, I took one in your mouth and saw Link with a bruise, then I walked over to him and gave him the small heart. He looked up at me and I looked away, embarrassed.

"I-It's for your bruise" I said, stuttering 'Spawn of Stalfos, Why am I stuttering like that?' He gladly took it and nudged his nose on my side, nodding to the spring.

"Let's go (Y/N)." He said, and I could hear the smirk in his voice, even if I couldn't see it. I nodded and sprinted towards the spring of Faron Woods. We walked towards the small light.

"Please...be careful...These woods...have changed...The dark clouds of dusk cover this land...This drape of shadows is called...twilight. In this twilight, those who live in the light...become as mere spirits...It is a place...where the dark ones and evil creatures dwell...I...am a spirit...of light...Blue eyed and (E/C) beasts. Look...for my light...Retrieve the light stolen by the dark beasts...and keep it...in this vessel." The spirit gave us the Vessel of Light."In the shadows of twilight...the dark insects are as...invisible...as normal beings are here... Let me use the last of my power...to reveal the locations of the dark insects...that consumed the light... Find the insects of darkness...The dark insects...they are the form taken by evil...once it has latched on to...our scattered light..."

It stopped talking and We both ran somewhere else, searching for those insects. Link and I used our senses to see where they were and killed them all, retrieving the Light of Faron Woods. We had seen a purple lake, it seemed like poison or acid. And we also saw the monkey with the little flower in it's fur/hair as well. When we got all the light tears, me and my companion were teleported to the spring.

The vessel went out from Midna, going into the water and everything seemed to change, the light and sky were no longer like in the twilight, but like in the world of light. Midna was back in her shadow form and ran to the little waterfall.

"Aww, but it was so nice here in the twilight...What's so great about a world of light, anyway? Eee hee hee! See you later!" and she disappeard, maybe in one of our shadows.

Once she was gone, the spring began to glow and the light spirit appeared, it looked like a monkey, hooked on his ball of light, its tail was long enough to go around him. It turned its head to us.

"My name is Faron. I am one of the spirits of light who dwell in Hyrule. I use the life force of the gods to protect this forest. O brave youth and maiden... In the land of twilight, where people roam as spirits, you were both transformed into a blue-eyed and (E/C)-eyed beasts...That was a sign...It was a sign that the powers of the chosen ones rest within you...and that they are awakening. Look at your awakened form..."

I looked down at myself: I was wearing a (F/C) armour with cream leggings and a (F/C) hood. I also had brown boots, comfortable to fight and to run. My bow and arrows were on my back. I turned to look at Link, who had also turned to see me: he had a green armour, the same as mine and the same leaf green hood, the same cream leggings and he had the sword and shield on his back as well. I smiled softly and turned back to the spirit, not noticing that Link was blushing slightly.
"The green and (F/C) tunics that is your garb once belonged to the ancient heroes chosen by the gods... Their powers are yours. Their are the true powers that slept within you. Your names are Link and (Y/N). You are the heroes chosen by the gods. Brave Link and wise (Y/N)...A dark power rests in the temple deep within these woods." (blah blah blah...I'm going to skip this, it's soooo boring!) He talked about the "forbidden power" that the other spirits and him protects, but if we REALLY want that and also save Faron Woods, we should "proceed to the temple in the forest depths." And it disappeared. I looked at my hands, happy being back in my human form.

Link looked at me and I smiled brightly, hugging him tightly, burying my face in his shoulder.
