Author's Note: Hey, everyone. I just released Midna's POV, so I'm kinda in a hurry to finish this chapter. Well…I'll shut up and let you guys read, but I'd like to thank all my reviewers and my sister, Lish (fishylishy) and of course my other family including my mom and brother. By the way, Nintendo owns LOZ!
Link hastily moved his sword off his small dining table and onto the sofa. It was the first time he had ever seated another person at the table in his home. He had to dig through his basement to find two placemats and napkins, but they were terribly dusty, so he went outside to beat them on a tree. He had no idea what he was going to make. Maybe an omelet with some Ordon Goat Cheese? Link mentally nodded. He had to run over to the small lake-like area where that monkey stole Uli's cradle to fish for dinner, later.
"Link?" Éléazar droned, slightly still asleep. He was in Link's farm clothes, which Link let him have. "Sorry for scaring you, I just wanted to ask what you're doing at this hour."
"Well, it's already about eleven o'clock," Link explained, continuing with grabbing some old plates. He set them on the table and grabbed a knife from a secret sheath tied to the dining room table leg. Éléazar gasped. "Ordon people like to be well equipped," Link mumbled. He cut the large hunk of cheese in half and then paused. "I'll be right back."
He hurried outside and into town. Link knew where the chickens laid their eggs—everyone did, but nobody talked about it at all, because they were afraid others would steal too many. He crossed the bridge he hid under when the hawk attacked him-he winced at the sting of his memory-and climbed the latter. There was a huge tree and a downwards slope. He wrapped his arms around the tree and hauled himself up its large trunk, grabbing the first available branch and then he swung himself, carefully, onto the piece of Bo's roof that was supposedly secret. There lay a nest of chicken eggs. He grabbed four and scrambled back to his house.
"So, Éléazar, where are you from? What's your story?" Link asked, pausing for a sip of home-made orange juice.
"My story, eh? Well, it's kind of sad. You sure you want to hear it?"
"Yeah, pretty sure."
Éléazar sighed and then began. "When I was a baby, my dad joined the Hylian Forces. He ended up in a bar fight at Telma's bar. He was fatally injured and I never got to meet him. Then there was my older childhood. I remember that day, that cursed day. They actually called it the Cursed Day. Some guy wrote a book about it. Well, it was ten years ago. I hadn't realized women were even allowed to fight, but Zelda had just come to rule and she wouldn't have it. So my mom comes downstairs and says, 'I'll be back at sundown,' and then next thing I hear she's dead, shot dead with a fire arrow. There was this freaky monster vs. human thing that day. But I found my dad's archer outfit and that's what I inherited. So, basically, it sucked."
"Sorry, that must've been hard. You want to hear my sad story?" Link felt bad for the guy. He thought his story was bad. But it was. His mom and dad weren't in his memory. Maybe they knew the Tri-Force was semi-cursed. Supposedly, the child is abandoned if he has a marking on his hand. Of course, it was also blessed, but ½ and ½ isn't enough for Hylians.
"If it's okay," Éléazar responded, taking a bite of omelet.
"I'll give you a summary. I chase after my friend, you know, Ilia, and there's this wall. I get close to it, and this arm, all black and huge, grabs me by the throat and drags me in. Well, I'm in Faron Woods, and there are these black things in the air, and it's twilight, when it was just broad daylight, and this thing that the arm belonged to. Later I heard they're called shadow beasts. But all of a sudden, I turn into-I know this is unbelievable-a wolf. And then I pass out.
"When I wake up, I'm in this cold jail cell. After a few hours of chewing at my chain, I see this figure that's floating and it's tiny. It laughed and tells me if I'm its slave, it'll get me outta there. Its name is Midna, and she was cursed to be an imp." He sighed sadly. "She's mean, and she's quite annoying, but I grew to like her. A lot more than I should've. But anyway, she doesn't tell me where we are until we're at the roof. We're actually on the roof of the castle. And we jump in a window, and there she is. Zelda herself, in this black cloak.
"After that, we have to help the Light Spirits get the light back. You must've heard of the Twilight Realm, right? Well, it really exists. I went there, and Midna's from there. But anyway, we restore light to places and go into the Temples-every single one of them-to get these things called the Fused Shadows, which'll help Midna and I to kill Zant-he's the bad guy-and then all of it's over. Wrong. We go to Arbiter's Grounds in the desert and finish off the monsters there, but when we get to the Mirror Chamber, the mirror's broken, and we have to go to the Snow Peak to get a mirror shard, the Temple of Time, and the City in the Sky.
"Then we go warp-teleport, like Zelda can do-and we're at the Mirror Chamber. So the mirror's fixed, and we go to kill Zant in Midna's palace-she's a princess-and he's powerful. He can manipulate his surroundings. But after that, Midna finished him off. But he can be revived by this guy called Gannondorf. So we set off to kill him.
"Skipping to the end, Midna and I really have something more than friendship. But I should've known she wouldn't be staying and I wouldn't be visiting. She was about to say something, but she just said 'See you later.' And then she started to cry. Well, she's really powerful. Her tear slides down her cheek and then she pushes it forward. It shattered the mirror. And that's it," Link sighed the last part.
Éléazar seemed saddened. "Did I upset you?" Link hurriedly asked.
"No, no. I'm just thinking about what why you turned into a wolf."
Link held up his arms. "What's different about the back of my hands?"
Éléazar gasped. "So you are the Divine Beast, the Hero, the Protector of Hyrule! Goddesses, I'm so lucky!"
"Lucky? No. Try getting to meet Zelda, having her shoot blessed arrows while you're on horseback. That, my friend, is lucky. But Goddesses, I really think she thought it was for my own good or something. Midna wouldn't have done it otherwise..."
Hey, not too bad for a rushed chappie, eh? Review and favorite please!
