Meet Again…
"Hey Link!" Colin greeted as Link approached.
"Is Rusl ready?" Link questioned.
"I think so, I'll go check!" Colin replied running to the house.
Link nodded his head and waited for Rusl. Him and Rusl were going to gather some wood today \it had been a while since him and Rusl had taken a walk to the woods he did so quite often back before his journey, but now it was a rare occasion Rusl lately had been taking his son.
"Ah, Link I can see you're ready," Rusl said as he gathered a few items for the small task.
Link nodded his head and the two made their way to Faron Woods.

The man smirked as the guards cautiously surrounded him. "I assure you princess I mean you no harm. Just an offer that you can't refuse," He answered calmly eyeing the guards inching closer toward him.
"And why wouldn't I be able to refuse?" Midna questioned.
"Because…" He looked at the guards and then back at Midna, "It will better our world."
"How so?" Midna asked stepping closer to the robed figure, the guards moved slightly as the princess neared.
"To expand our world, to complete it."
Midna stood a few feet away from the robed figure, "Our world is complete it has nothing more to offer."
"In its current state that would be true," The robed figure paused for a few seconds before continuing, "But our world was so close to being completed, but that attempt was prevented some years ago. Three years ago in fact."
Midna's eyes widen with realization of what he was talking about.
His smile widen as he saw her reaction, "I believe you know just what I'm talking about." His tone changed drastically as he continued talking, "Three years ago you and that so called 'hero' destroyed what we could have had. To merge shadow and light to create darkness."
"You won't have a chance!" Midna stated, remembering the day she left the World of Light, when she left him. She spoke softer, "There is no way to the World of Light. The Mirror of Twilight is destroyed."
"Ah, so naïve," He spoke smugly, "I'll give you a choice princess."
"Guards," Midna snapped her fingers and the guards surrounded the man, preparing to arrest him.
"You think they can stop me?" He said laughing. Simply waving his hand, he sent the guards flying across the room. "Now," He stopped playing around, "I don't want to have to hurt you my dear Princess, but if you refuse to help me then you'll leave me no other choice!"
Midna narrowed her eyes, "You can't get to the World of Light. Even if you could I'd do everything in my power to stop you!"
"Those light-dwellers really changed you didn't they? But being in that foreign land would change anyone I suppose." He questioned taking a step closer. "Tell me Midna why did you destroy the mirror?"
"I already told all the Twili the reason. Now leave!" Midna replied harshly.
"But your reason didn't seem good enough I think you have another reason. Tell me."
"I told you to leave!" Midna yelled this man was stepping on dangerous grounds with Midna.
"I don't think I will," He replied smoothly, "I've unlocked a hidden power, it was sealed away when the world was first created forbidden, but it now belongs to me. You won't be able to stop me."
Midna formed a ball of energy, and sent it flying toward the man.
He smirked as he made the ball angle around and hit Midna, she fell to the ground she glared at him as she quickly rose.
"I already told you, you can't stop me." Midna used another one of her magical powers. "I suppose you won't work with me. That really is a shame." Midna used several other attempts but they all failed either aiming them back for her or dodging them.
He moved quickly avoiding all of her attempts to cause him harm, he grabbed her arm and pinned her. "I don't want to cause you any harm Princess," He whispered in her ear, "Perhaps in time you will change your mind." He quickly knocked her out so she wouldn't cause him any more trouble. He looked around the throne was now his, his plan was slowly coming together each step he carefully planned the first major step was completely it wouldn't be to long before the rest would follow.

Rusl and Link sat before Faron Spring after a long day of working. "It's been a while since we've taken a walk in Faron Woods." Rusl replied, "It has changed a bit."
Link simply nodded his head and looked up at the sky the sun was beginning to set.
"At least now it isn't dangerous," Rusl remarked remembering when the bulblins and other creatures had evaded the woods making it more dangerous than usual.
"We should get going before it gets too dark," Link replied not wanting to talk. He hadn't actually talked to Rusl like they use to. That last serious talk he could remember was when he had asked him to deliver an item to the Royal Family, he remember Rusl talking about the hour of twilight, how loneliness always pervaded the hour of twilight. He found that quite ironic consider the next day their world was transformed into twilight and then his journey began.
"I suppose you're right," Rusl said knowing Link was just getting out of talking like he always did.
