Midna's Quest
Chapter 4
Midna emerged from the shadow of a tree the next morning ready for the day. With all the excitement of yesterday from finding out about the creature, she forgot that she was already tired, and warping really took a lot out of her.
Staying out of sight from anything that might happen to be out in the fields, she slept in shadows of a tree and planned on starting her quest in morning. Now that morning had arrived, she grabbed the sword and the wooden shield and started her search for a cliff with a cave.
The field seemed to be bigger then Midna remember from hiding in Links shadow. She searched almost every inch of the field but she couldn't find a single cliff with a cave. Heck, she couldn't even find a cliff in the fields. Not that she really expected to.
"Maybe I don't know this place as well as I thought." Midna said to herself, unsure of what to do next. Before she could think of something to do Midna quickly sunk into the shadow of a nearby tree, as she saw one of those bokoblin pass her by. Midna had seen several of them throughout the day, but she decided to save her energy for the Monster of Dreams instead of wasting it on these pathetic creatures. Midna was determined to find this monster today so that she could get turned back into a humanoid and return to Link the next day on their anniversary. She knew that she wouldn't have the strength to kill this thing if she wasted all her energy killing every bokoblin she ran into.
Once she made sure it was gone she emerged from the shadow and continued her quest for the 'cliff with a cave'.
She had now officially checked the entire field and she couldn't find a single cliff with a cave. Not even the mountainous areas near Kakariko had one, which frustrated her to no end. Midna finally gave into the fact that she wasn't going to find it in the field. She sat down and began to pout.
"I can't believe it, all that hard work for nothing! By the time I find this monster, it could be that a week or a month has gone by! I don't know if I can wait that long." she thought to herself. "I guess I'll have to check some other place for this monster." Midna sighed as she looked around the field frantically. "As soon as I find out where I am…" She started to look around for the tallest spot in the field where she might be able to see almost everything. She eventually found a small hill she could float up to in order to scout the area. Unfortunately she was too concerned with getting up there as quickly as possible and had neglected to check her surroundings. If she only she had been a bit more careful, she would have seen the bokoblin that was watching her.
Link was looking all through out Faron Woods for Midna. He was calling out her name every few minutes, but had no luck.
Just as Midna had searched the entire field, Link now had searched the entire woods, and was getting frustrated that he couldn't find her.
He couldn't believe Midna would be this stupid to risk throwing her life away, just so she could return to her normal form! He thought they had talked over this and she didn't care anymore that she was an imp. 'I guess I was wrong.' He was about to move on and search some where else when he saw movement in the trees, possibly Midna.
"Midna? Is that you?" Link asked, getting excited, but nothing responded. "Look Midna, I don't care how you look! If you're a beautiful young woman, or a 'horrifying, disgusting, repulsive imp' as you call yourself, you'll still always be the woman I love!" Link called pleadingly, but the only response he got was more movement in the trees.
"Come on Midna, let's go home! I still remembered that our anniversary is tomorrow, don't you want to come home for that?" Link asked as the thing finally emerged from the trees and Link saw that it wasn't Midna. It was only that monkey that Link had saved a number of times.
"Well you weren't exactly what I'm looking for. I'm sorry but I can't stay any longer, I need to continue my search." Link said as he patted the monkey on the head and hopped back up on Epona. He continued riding until he ran into Coro.
"Oh hi Link, how is the chosen hero feeling today?" he asked Link
"I'm not in a very good mood today, Coro." Link said in a tired voice.
"Aw, that's too bad. Maybe some lantern oil might help." Coro said, obviously trying to sell Link some oil.
"Not today, Coro. What might help is if you've seen an imp with red and yellowish hair, and green markings on her arms." Link continued.
"No I haven't. But to be honest Link, that sounds like one of those creatures that invaded us a year ago. Did they come back?" Coro asked, feeling scared.
"No I just forgot one. I think it's trying to find the Monster of Dreams so it can kill it and bring in an invincible army to take our world." Link said quickly making up a story to tell Coro.
"The Monster of Dreams…I didn't even think it existed! But I guess if these creatures believe in it, it must be true." Coro said.
"Even though you don't really believe in it, do you think you might know where it would be?" Link asked in a hopeful voice.
"Yeah, on a cliff with a cave in it." Coro said
Link just raised his hand to his face and started to rub his forehead. "Do you happen to know what exact cliff it might be on?" Link asked. He was upset that Coro was giving him information he already had.
"Nope. I'm sorry but that's all I know." Coro easily seeing how Link was getting angry with him.
"Thanks anyway. My real main concern is finding that dark creature right now. I think I may have an idea how." Link said as he mounted Epona and then rode away.
If he couldn't find Midna, he'd wait for her on this cliff with a cave on it. Now he just had to find out where it was, and he thought he might know who could help him with that.
With the short time of her sight seeing on top of the hill Midna could see exactly where she was, and she knew which way she had to go to continue her quest. However when she turned around she saw an bokoblin right behind her! She went to grab her sword, but the bokoblin was too fast and smacked her with his arm and knocked her shield and sword away from her. Midna tried to shoot the bokoblin with one of her magical blasts, but it would always smack her again when she was in the middle of casting it. Midna was getting beat up, and there wasn't much she could do about it. Luckily one of the smacks the bokoblin gave her sent her right next to her sword. As she laid on the ground trying to reach her sword the bokoblin ran up to her again. But when he went to strike her, Midna was able to grab the sword and with all of her strength, swung it, successfully cutting the bokobiln's arm off. It screamed in pain and ran away to avoid any other injuries it could sustain.
Midna floated down the hill attempting chase to it but gave up shortly after and settled for just yelling at it. "Maybe you'll learn from this! Maybe next time when you're about to attack something that you don't understand or aren't aware of it's power, just feel that stub on the right side of your torso and decide if it's a good idea!"
Midna yelled fiercely,however she had gotten beaten up so bad that, she started to lose consciousness. the last thing she saw she feel to ground was a shadowy figure walking up to her and attempting to pick her up. She would have struggled to escape from that figure, but right when it reached for her, she completely lost consciousness.
