Author's note: Hey guys, i'm back! Sorry it took so long to post, but I got bombarded with homework, and I also am in robotics club. Also, I am helping to build the homecoming floats for my grade. Anyway, here goes nothing.

Chapter five: Evil revealed
When they broke off the kiss, Midna was blushing happily, while Link was disappointed that the kiss had to be so short. "Now," Midna said, trying to get back to the subject at hand while hiding her blush, which Link found cute. "Wasn't that diamond from The Twilit Blade?" Asked Midna,bewildered.
"Could you please tell me more about The Twilit Blade? All that I know is that it's the Twilight realm's equivalent of The Master Sword, which I learned from Ordona when the Shadow Beasts that attacked you at it's spring died, leaving behind the blade's tip," Link asked, explaining all of what he knew to Midna, her face contorting into one of shock.
"C-can I see it?" Midna asked, thinking that this might be too good to be true, but was proven wrong when Link reached into his pouch, pulling out what she immediately confirmed as the tip when he unraveled the cloth that was protecting Link from accidentally reaching in his pouch and cutting himself by mistake.
" 'When darkness threatens the lands, only a hero or heroine with Twili origins may draw thine sacred blade that rests here. This savior must use this blade to rend the lands of the darkness that threaten it, or all will be lost. However, if the one who touches the blade is not accepted as the hero by this blade, the blade shall split into six, shooting off to hiding until the true chosen one comes to collect it, regardless of the intentions of the one who touches it.' That is what the legend inscribed on The Twilit Blade's pedestal." Midna started to explain.
"When Shadow attacked me last week, I ran to where the blade was stored away. True to the legend though, when I touched the blade, it split into six, shooting all across the Twilight realm's main area, the town around my castle. If what you say about how you got the tip is true, then I fear that Shadow might be in possession of the other pieces in one way or another," Midna finished explaining, and without another word, Link wrapped his arms around Midna, pulling her into a warm embrace.
However their brief moment of relief for being in each others arms ended abruptly when they heard ominous clapping. "Ho ho, I must say. This is quite an unexpected turn of events," Link and Midna heard a voice, which obviously belonged to the same creature that was clapping, say, which in turn caused Midna to tense up.
"Shadow," Midna guessed, the beast's name rolling off of her tongue like poison. In response, a...thing materialized from seemingly nowhere. The creature was at least five feet tall. The creature's color scheme was that of complete black, like absolute darkness, save for it's eyes, which were blood red, and the few strands of hair that could be seen through the cloak he wore were fiery blue, as though simply touching the hair would be enough to burn one's hand to complete cinders. To top off this horrifying look, the creature had a wound on it's chest that was glowing the color of twilight, which would be enough to give even the most courageous of normal hylians a heart attack.
"If it isn't the Hero of Twilight, Link, and the Twilight Princess herself, Princess Midna Midonaito Twilight. I suppose I should reward you for beating my pet," the creature said, removing the cloak's hood and revealing that the creature's face was indeed as ugly as Link originally thought, being just as black as the rest of his body, with another wound trailing down it's right eye, oozing twilight. " You are correct Midna. I am known as Shadow; though to be more precise, I am the culmination of the Dark King and Zant's shadows. I was created when you struck the two great evil's of this age down with that accursed blade," Shadow said, pointing to the Master sword on Link's back.
Although Link wanted very badly to mercilessly kill the bastard who would dare threaten his precious Midna, he remembered that his previous journey, where he would turn into a wolf, eventually left him with remnants of his heightened wolf sense, allowing Link to see how dark Shadow's aura was. " I would kill you right now and get you out of my way, but I would like to fight you when you are at full strength and have a weapon that could actually hurt me. So, I will leave you be," Shadow said, his voice oozing of smugness. That however, was just enough to set Link off.
"How dare you threaten Midna?!" Link roared, quickly drawing his blade and charging at Shadow, and surprisingly enough, he actually connected with Shadow's face, though he only managed to scratch it.
"You impudent little-," Shadow roared, losing his composure for just a moment before it returned, this time even worse than before. "Oh, that reminds me. I left you a present back at your hometown. Have fun!" And with that, Shadow vanished.
"My hometown..." Link's voice trailed off. "Dammit!" Link swore as he realized what Shadow meant. " Midna, we have to get back to Ordon, now." Link said, his voice grave.
"Okay then, let's teleport there." Midna said soothingly. She then lightly pecked Link on the cheek, before turning him into a wolf. She then transformed herself into her imp form and then gently floated down onto Link's back. They then teleported to Ordon's Spring, but when they reached the spring, the whole area was covered in something that Link never wanted to see again, it was covered in the twilight.
End note: How was that? To avoid future confusion, Midna's middle name is pronounced as me-doh-night-oh, and is the Japanese pronunciation of midnight. What do you think? Does it sound royal enough? Anyway, I hope that I can get some reviews soon. As long as you don't go bashing my story, but give me some constructive criticism, I would still love to hear from you. This has been pikatwins234, and I will see you next time
Pikatwins, out!
