Authors Note: HEY THERE MY FELLOW FANFICTION PEEPS! So I'm back with a new chapter! EXCITING!
Sorry about the looooooong delay, I had a huge case of writers block. And then school and life in general keeps getting in the way. So yeah, I also have to design a whole dungeon. Yuck. I've been trying to think of what it would look like, but my mind's drawing a blank. So crap. This might be a lame dungeon, but I don't really work for Nintendo, so I don't have experience creating dungeons. Oh, well.
We also had a little anniversary a few days ago… it's the 1 month anniversary of this story being created! (It was Nov. 7th… sorry I missed it… :/ ) So celebrate! It's an exciting time in my life.
Chapter 9 is here! Whoo!
Disclaimer: I don't own LOZ… blah… blah… blah.
Zelda
I pulled away from Link, barely breathing. Why had he just called me Midna?We kiss, and then he calls me Midna? What in the name of Din was going on?
I ran over to the murky water, searching for my reflection. I still looked the same. I had the same brown hair, the same blue tunic, and the same pale skin.
"Are you okay, Midna?" he said, coming to my side.
I looked into his perfect blue eyes, and I could see my reflection in his deep black pupils.
Only, it wasn't my reflection.
I had orange hair, tied in front of my neck, a black cloak with the hood up, and perfectly white skin.
I was Midna.
I looked back into the water, seeing my own reflection again. I kept looking back into his eyes, and then back into the lake.
Every time I looked into the lake, I saw myself staring back at me.
But when I looked into Link's eyes, I saw Midna staring back at me, her red eyes boring into mine.
The Great Fairy's words echoed in my head, finally making sense of all this.
'In the first, he will see you as someone you're not…He mustn't know. He will only try to stop that which cannot be stopped.'
I supposed I would just have to go along with it, and pray to the goddesses that this would all be over soon.
So playing along, I said, "I'm fine. I'm just a little shook up. I don't really know how I got here. I just… was. I can't really explain it."
"It's okay," he said, taking me in his arms. "You're here now, and that's all that matters. It's just you and me."
Not wanting to get off task, I tried to snap him back into reality. "Link? I have a feeling there's a reason we're here. Maybe there's a temple or dungeon here?"
It seemed to work because he let go of me and we both got up.
"You're right. We should probably get going. Oh right! You don't know why we're here," he said, I shook my head, playing along, not wanting to arouse suspicion. "Well, Rusl is sick. You remember Rusl. Well you see," I only half listened as he told me- or rather Midna- about our adventure so far. I started listening again when he mentioned my name. "And when we both fell, Zelda and I were separated. I fell into this blue lake. It was so weird. I felt this strange sensation. It was like a bolt of lightning running through my veins. But then, world went black, and when I woke up, I went looking for Zelda, but I found you. Goddesses, I hope she's okay. What if she downed in this lake? What if a monster came out and killed her?" He began to frantically look around, wondering where 'Zelda' might have gone.
"Um, I think I might have seen a monster take her that way," I lied, pointing in the direction of a large door carved out of a giant tree. I figured that was the entrance to the temple.
"Hmm, seems about right," he said, opening up the large wooden door, leading us into the dungeon.
And what an awful looking dungeon it was.
The only light in the circular room we were in was that of a small torch in the middle of the room. It barely illuminated the area around it, let alone the whole room.
Link brought out his lantern, making it somewhat easier to see. The walls and floor were covered with spider webs, and I couldn't help but feel a bit of unease.
Link and I started to cross the room. "Stay behind me," he said, putting his hand out to block me from getting in front of him. The floor was very bouncy, making it hard to keep my footing. When we crossed to the other side, Link put his lantern up to the wall and it caught fire. When all the webs burnt away, all that was left was a green moss-covered wall. "Hmm," he said, deep in thought.
"What about the floor? I said, pointing to the bouncy spider web ground.
"Hmm," he repeated, crouching down and putting his lantern the floor. It immediately caught fire, making us fall into the pond below. It seemed as though there was no shore to it.
Suddenly, I felt something wrap around my foot.
"Link!" was all I could say before the tentacle pulled me down and whisked me through the water.
Authors Note: Done. Not a great chapter, I know. The next chapter will be all dungeon.
Review Review Review! I will be so happy!
