Link's POV
I watched her disappear slowly, dematerializing into yellowish dust. Midna…no…I thought. I wouldn't DARE say that in front of Zelda though. She loved me, but…lets just say the feeling wasn't mutual. Matter of fact, Midna was one of the few people that had ever heard me speak. And now she was gone.
For the first time in my life, I felt like I had to cry, and cry hard. One tear slipped from my eye as soon as that mirror shattered, and that started it all. After one tear slid down my cheek, hundreds followed. I wiped my face with one of my bracers and took off for Epona.
"Link!" Zelda cried. She was just glad Midna was gone back to her realm. I know she wanted the best for me, and wanted me to be happy, but right now all I wanted was to be alone.
As soon as I was at Epona, I launched myself on and dug my heels in. Epona took off, and before I knew it, we were back at the village. I swung off and onto the ladder up to my home. The tears were still sliding down my cheeks in rivers of torment. The door to the house was somewhat ajar from this morning, so I just slammed it behind me as I got in. As soon as I was inside, I slid to my knees and sobbed.
I was alone now, with no one to tell me to get up and stop crying. Before I knew it, I was clawing my hair desperately and howling inhumanly. My cap had fallen to the ground, but I couldn't care less. I screamed and cried for unknown amounts of time, but by the time the tears slowed, it was dark.
"Midna…" I kept repeating, over and over. "Why.." I said, putting my face in my hands. Looking up, I peered around the room. "Might as well head to bed." I said to no one.
I slowly stood and dragged myself to the bed, flopping down uselessly. Out of nowhere, a familiar scent drifted to my nose. It was like roses, but at the same time like sweet incense and smoke. It was the scent of Midna's skin, left where she had spent the night. The memories of their journey together surged back into my mind. A fresh round of tears pervaded my sleepless night.
