Author's note: Hey, Pikatwins here! Here's chapter two! First however, I would like to give a shoutout to my first reviewer of this story, K'ger. I highly appreciate the review, and I understand where you are coming from, but its just a little difficult to keep the story running smoothly if I were to do so. So I decided to try moderating how often I did so, and will continue to do so from this chapter on. Here we go!

Disclaimer: I do not own The legend of Zelda, Nintendo does.


Chapter two: Hyrule castle town revisited

Three hours later...

"We're finally here," sighed Link, glad that Midna was still breathing steadily,who he hid inside his tunic, but upset at how long it took them to get there."Raise the bridge," Link heard one of the guards say.

"Wait!" Link shouted as he rode up to the guard.

"What is it," the guard asked as the bridge finished raising, making it impossible to get through. "Her Royal Highness has summoned me," Link said determinedly. "Oh? Then show me proof that...," the guard's voice trailed off as he heard the princess ask what was going on. "Nothing to worry about Your Highness. Just another traveler saying that you summoned him."

"Lower the bridge so I can see," ordered Zelda. Doing as they were told, the guards lowered the bridge. "Link," Zelda exclaimed once the gate was lowered and she could see who it was. "come in, come in," said Zelda, ecstatic that Link came so fast. "So did you-"

"Yes, I summoned him," said Zelda, not even letting the guard finish his question before answering.

"Let's not waste any time," Link said to Zelda after he gave the guard Epona's reigns and started walking away from the guards with her. "Why is it that you summoned me Your Highness?" Asked link. "Shadow beasts are mysteriously appearing throughout the land, and nobody knows why," Zelda stated bluntly. "A new evil is awakening," Link explained, remembering what the light spirit told him," and only The Twilit Blade has the power to stop it."

Just what exactly is The Twilit Blade, and what does it look like," Zelda asked once the initial shock of finding out that there was a blade that was equal to The Master Sword wore off. " I don't know, but not only do I have the broken tip of the blade, but I also have someone who should know more," Link said as he pulled Midna out from under his tunic. "Dear Nayru, what happened?!" Zelda asked worriedly as she started healing Midna. Link then explained everything he knew, leaving out the part that he loves Midna.

"I see," said Zelda after hearing the full story and healing Midna. "Well, what do we do now," asked Link, confused as to what to do while waiting for Midna to wake up. "Well, why don't you go visit Agitha, as she has been wanting to talk to you about something," Zelda answered with a wink. "Okay," said Link while getting up from where the fountain where he and Zelda were seated, then waved goodbye as he headed over to Agitha's house.

When Link got to Agitha's house, he found the door, which usually is unlocked, to be locked, and a note on it. The note said that she would be at Telma's bar if anybody needed her. So, with a slightly aggravated sigh, Link then went over to Telma's bar, not needing to knock before entering.

"Link!" Telma exclaimed, surprised that The Hero of Twilight was gracing her bar with his presence. "I was wondering where Agitha was, as I was told that she wanted to talk to me," said Link. "Hey Link," called Agitha from the end of the isle. "Hey Agitha...," said Link, his voice trailing off, as she looked so different that Link almost didn't recognize her.

"Wow," said Link, flabbergasted at how gorgeous Agitha looked with her hair and make-up on. "Thanks," said Agitha, who was blushing, obviously embarrassed that her secret crush was complimenting her on her looks. " So...you wanted to talk to me," Link asked. " I wanted to tell you that I love you, and I know it is a long shot, but I was hoping that you felt the same," confessed Agitha. " You see, I fell in love with you at first sight, but I was too afraid to say anything until now," Agitha explained sheepishly.

"I-I-," Link stammered, trying to think of a way to let her down easy.

"I'm sorry Agitha, but I love someone else," Link finally managed to say, an apologetic look hanging on his face. "I- I understand," Agitha stammered in reply, taken aback by how up front he was with rejecting her, as well as extremely disappointed that Link did not feel the same. "I promise you though," Link continued, " that there IS a man out there for you, and when you find him, I am sure you will know right away that he is the one for you." Thanks," said Agitha, cheering up as Link hugged the girl that he had come to consider as one of his close friends tightly.

"How have you been?" Link asked after he let go of Agitha and sat in the stool next to her, trying to change the conversation away from the awkward situation. " Pretty good, actually," replied Agitha, who was already back to her usual, cheery self, although her mouth was dry. " Would you like some Lon Lon Milk? I'm buying," Link offered, noticing that her mouth was dry.

"Yeah, thanks," Agitha replied, taking Link up on his offer, as he requested two glasses from Telma. "So, what brings you to Hyrule Castle Town?" Agitha asked, wondering why he was here now, since he had not visited since Ganon was slain.
" The princess had summoned me for urgent business. In fact, once we finished talking, she told me to come talk to you,though of course I expected you to be at your house," Link explained with a slight chuckle while paying Telma sixty rupees for the milk that she handed them.

Just then, Shad, Gor Coron, King Ralis, and Rusl walked through the door in a clumsy fashion. Upon see Rusl, Link got extremely angry, but calmly walked over to him and asked why he was not at Ordon Village, taking care of the kids while he was gone. Once Rusl finished answering Link's question, he countered with his own questions, to which Link answered promptly. Nevertheless, the four men who just walked in sat down in the last remaining seats at the isle, each of them ordered a beer. "So, King Ralis," Link started, trying to strike up a conversation.

"Yes?" Asked the Zora. "How have you been?" Link asked, hoping that his Zoran friend was not as depressed for the loss of his mother as he was before. "To be honest, I feel much better now that I know that my mother can rest in peace," Ralis replied, making Link smile that he was doing better than when he last saw the young Zora.

Just then, Link remembered that Midna was still hurt, and would probably like to have her pet wolfie at her side when she woke up, so he got up and muttered apologies about having to leave so abruptly, though laughing inwardly at himself for mentally calling himself a pet. "Do you have to go so soon?" Everyone asked in unison. "I'm afraid so," Link replied not paying attention to where he was walking, and ended up bumping into a mysterious cloaked figure as he was walking out the door.

"Sorry," Link said to the cloaked figure, and walked out the door, blissfully unaware of what was about to happen...
