Chapter 2: Secret Revealed
"Nothing troubles me Minas, except…" Midna wonders off into her thoughts again.
"Except what? You know that you can tell me anything in secrecy princess."
Midna turned back to Minas and took his hand.
"I am in love, Minas. But it is forbidden by our laws."
Minas' expression went from concerned to confused. "Who is it that you love Midna? And why is yours a forbidden love?"
Midna dropped her head into her hands and tears started to roll down her face. "My love is from the light realm."
With these words, Minas almost collapsed. "But Princess, you cannot marry one of the light dwellers, it is against our customs."
Midna pays Minas' ranting no attention and continues to stare out of the window, thinking of Link.
"I do not care for our customs, Minas. My one love is Link…"
"The one you met on your journey." Minas interrupted. "But highness, from what you told me, he is much older than yourself…"
Midna stood. "As if that makes a difference." She shouted at Minas. "4 years is hardly anything to worry about." Midna folds her arms.
"Suit yourself, Princess. The council will wish to speak with you on this matter, so be ready for them." Minas said, sounding very apologetic
An eerie silence holds the following two minutes, until a distant bell can be heard. "That should be your meal highness, I'll be right back." Minas scurries out of the room, leaving Midna alone with her thoughts.
"Tight-ass" Midna mumbled to herself.
Midna thought back to her time in the light realm, and all the times she had shared with Link, only to feel more depressed and alone. Where is Minas with my meal? Midna thought, as Minas had left some time ago. Longer than it takes to get to the kitchen and back. She thought.
Just then, the small door to the right of Midna's throne, swung open with a loud Bang! It was Minas. Finally. Midna thought.
"Ah, Minas. Good, I'm starved."
Minas brought up a bowl of Kewne soup (Kewne being one of the more rare birds in her land) with a glass of water.
Thank you Minas, you are dismissed."
Minas bowed down and made his way out of the throne room, still bowed.
Midna tucked into the Kewne soup, finishing it very quickly. I was hungrier than I realized. Midna thought as she looked at an empty bowl. A slight smile appeared on her face, only to be removed by thoughts of Link.
Moments later, Minas re-entered the room. "Have you finished already, Princess?" Minas asked, clearly seeing that she had.
"Yes, thank you Minas, please give my compliments to the chef."
Minas nodded, then looked at the tray that held the bowl.
"Princess." Minas exclaimed. "You didn't drink your water."
"Oh, my apologies." Midna said and drank the whole glass in one go and held the glass out for Minas.
He took the glass, bowl and tray back to the kitchen.
Midna returned once again to the window. She looked out over the landscape at the beauty of her world. Midna then noticed that it was getting dark faster then usual.
"What's going o…" she started, but everything got darker she felt herself falling and her head hit the cold hard ground, then nothing.
A/N sorry I didn't update this sooner, I had writers block and I got a new skateboard (got a Midna sticker to go on it. ) so I've been busy, but here is chapter two, three is on it's way but I need reviews people.
