Yep, I decided to make Chaper 2 early. The cost: It's even shorter than the last chapter... by 19 words! Anyway, please enjoy... OR BE DESTROYED!! That rhymes, therefore it must be true. I'll stop my rambling and let you get on with the story, now.
Link only stared at what he thought was impossible, his jaw hanging in hope.
"Link," Midna said, breaking the silence, "dummy! Say something!"
"Midna… how did you get here? You destroyed the Mirror of Twilight!" Link said in surprise.
"I know… I'll tell you everything in a minute… but first, I need to tell you something…"
"Yes, Midna? What is it!?" Link questioned impatiently.
"Link… I..-
Link was awakened by someone calling his name. His mind stirred, trying to remember where he was and what was happening.
'No…,' Link thought, 'it… it couldn't have been just a dream.. please…'
"LIIIINK!!" The voice called again.
Link was now completely aware, he was in his house awakening from a dream he'd rather still be in by Fado.
Link climbed up the ladder to the window at the top of his house and peered outside the window, findind Fado, flailing his arms around in some sort of panic.
"Mornin', Link! Sorry if I woke ya, but I need your help with the goats, they aren't listening to me!"
Link, having just woken up, had evil, hateful thoughts about Fado for a short moment.
"I'll be there in a minute!" Link responded.
"Hurry up, Link!" Fado called impatiently.
Link wondered why Fado was in such a rush. After a few minutes of getting ready for the day, Link stepped out of the house, finding Fado near the entryway to Ordon Village.
"C'mon, Link! Get a move on! Bring Epona down to the ranch!"
Link could tell this was going to be a bad day if he let his dream affect him, but no matter how hard he tried to ignore it, it kept on going through his thoughts like a broken record. He braced himself for the worst. Ever since the day Midna left, Link was always saddened slightly at whatever he came across, no matter how happy he was, Midna leaving him forever always dragged him down. He thought he'd be happy going back to his normal life in Ordon, but he's still in the state of despair thinking about Midna. She left an entire week ago, and Link's thoughts haven't changed. Link loved Midna. He always did ever since he noticed that Midna opened up to him and saw him as more than his Hero Lackey, and as a friend. As their adventures continued, they became closer friends, all leading up to that fateful day when they were spread apart as far as they could have been.
Link lost track of reality in his own thoughts about the past. When he finally snapped back to reality, he noticed Fado was gone, and had assumed he went down to the ranch to wait for him.
Link released the reins tied to Epona and the tree they were wrapped around. Link did this not because he feared that Epona would run away, but to keep Ilia from taking her for some overprotective reason of hers.
Link climbed on to Epona and grabbed hold of the reins. He then rode down through the village, stopping for a brief conversation with those who wanted to speak with him, mostly being about his adventure. However, some were considering him acting a little different ever since he defeated Ganon. Link never told anyone about his true feelings for Midna, so he went with the excuse about fearing that Ganon might return some day.
After Link had eventually reached the ranch, he saw Fado in front of the gate to the pen, an impatient look on his face.
"Link," he scowled, "what took ya so long?
"Sorry, fado…," Link responded, "I had to do some… thinking about things."
Fado's glare faded into a sympathetic look, finally noticing something bothering Link. He knew Link could always be hopeful, even optimistic about his problems just by finding a small glimmer of hope somewhere within. However, the problem of two words being separated forever had no hope involved at all.
After the consistency of Fado's questions about what was wrong with Link finally faded, Link went to work. With skill built up after doing Fado's job so many times, Link herded the goats into the stable without a problem.
Link walked toward the pen's gate, Fado still in the place he was before.
"Thanks a lot, Link." Fado praised.
"No problem, buddy." Link said.
On his way back to the house, Link noticed something very odd. It suddenly started to rain, fog shrouding everything up to 10 feet from him, and he could have sworn it was already dark. Link pondered how this could have happened in a matter of minutes. He already had enough problems, and began to feel stressed out by them. Link decided to soak his worries in the Ordon Spring. He tied Epona back to the tree and walked toward the spring, still being pelted by the rain. As he got closer, it was beginning to get even darker. Link was beginning to be freaked out about the sudden change in the weather.
When link neared the end of the narrow passage to the Spring, he found it blocked by a wall of pitch black… The Twilight had returned.
Dramatic, isn't it? Maybe Midna will return... or will Link have to face this new challenge alone? R&R please, tell me what you thought and how I can stop having the grammar of a 5 year old. (I'm letting typos get to me)
