Any major conversations that take place in TP I take directly from the game. Hope I did a good job with this one!
The girl on Link's back, or as Link discovered, Midna, smiled at the figure in the robe.
"Eee hee! You remembered my name? What an honor for me..."
"So this is the one for whom you were searching..." The figure said as she stared at Link.
"He's not exactly what I had in mind, but...I guess he'll do." Midna had a thoughtful look on her face, with her hand up to her mouth.
The figure bent down so that she was at Link's level. She suddenly looked at his legs.
"...You were imprisoned?" Link just stared at her. "I am sorry." There was silence.
"Poor thing," Midna was the first to break it, "he has no idea where this is, or what has happened..." Midna was patting Link's side, staring at the figure with her piercing eyes. "So don't you think you should explain to him what you managed to do? You owe him that much..." Midna stopped patting Link and smiled devilishly. "...Twilight Princess! Eee hee!" The figure looked to the ground. It was when she looked up that she spoke:
"Listen carefully...this was once the land where the power of the gods was said to slumber. This was once the kingdom of Hyrule. But that blessed kingdom has been transformed by the king that rules the twilight...
"It has been turned into a world of shadows, ruled by creatures who shun the light..." Flashbacks of that day were running through the girl's head.
Four soldiers stood in front of the princess of Hyrule, who stood infront of her throne. They were all armed, ready for battle. Many more stood in front of the doorway that led to the room...
A mysterious black fog had filled the room, blinding all the soldiers blocking the doorway. Seconds after, black creatures that had no faces burst into the room and took down all the soldiers...
After all but three of the soldiers remained, a man with a metal helmet walked into the room. The helmet was decorated with two goat horns where his mouth should have been, and blank eyes were carved into the helmet where his eyes should have stood. The helmet came to a sharp point at the top.
He stopped only when he stood in front of the princess...
"It is time for you to choose: surrender or die...Oh yes, a question for all the land and people of Hyrule...Life? Or death?" The princess looked around the room and could only think as she watched one of her guards being strangled by one of the black beasts.
The two guards standing next her looked at her, gasping. The princess stood motionless.
The princess dropped her only weapon, a silent surrender. She stared at the man and heard her sword hit the ground with a clang! She could only hope that she had made the right decision.
"Twilight covered Hyrule like a shroud, and without light, the people became as spirits. Within the twilight, they live on, unaware that they have passed into spirit forms...All the people know now is fear...Fear of a nameless evil..."
The figure sighed as she finished her story. She was looking out the window now.
"The kingdom succumbed to twilight, but I remain its princess..." She turned around. The figure then reached up and pulled back her hood. Link had to sit down to get a good view of what was to come. Midna had to grab on to Link's ears to stay aloft.
"I am Zelda."
She was beautiful, to say the least. With golden blonde hair that was braided in the front with white ribbon to hang over her shoulders, and bright blue eyes, she definitely looked the part of a princess, in Link's eyes at least. She was wearing a beautiful golden circlet which was accented with a diamond shaped blue stone. A gold rectangle hung below the stone so that it waved in front of her eyes. From the look on her face, she looked extremely sad.
"You don't have to look so sad!" Midna said. She actually looked like she pitied the princess. "We actually find it to be quite livable! I mean, is perpetual twilight really all that bad?" Midna had lost her look of pity and had her arms folded behind her head.
"Midna...This is no time for levity. The shadow beasts have been searching far and wide for you." Midna jumped off Link's back and floated in the air above him. She sat cross legged in the air and was resting her head in one of her hands. She had her back to the princess.
"Why is this?" The princess finished her question.
"Why indeed? You tell me! Eee hee hee!" Midna laughed as she shrugged.
"Time has grown short. The guard will soon make his rounds." The princess said. She was looking at Link once again. Midna fell from her position above him and fell on his back, almost knocking him to the ground. Link turned his head and glared at Midna, who still had her back to the princess. "You must leave here, quickly."
Link turned around without a second glance at the princess, and ran through the open door. He was running as fast as he could down the spiral stairs. Midna suddenly grabbed his ears and pulled, stopping him in his tracks.
Light appeared around the corner. Link heard the creak of an opening door.
"Not that way! The guard's coming! Boy, he's prompt!" Midna whispered. Link looked at her and watched her look around thoughtfully. She pulled on his ear and she pointed at the window in which they had entered.
When they got outside (luckily before the guard had seen them), Midna jumped of Link's back and floated in front of him. She continued until she reached the end of the rooftop. She floated there, back to him and arms crossed. She turned around when Link caught up to her.
"Eee hee hee! Well? Do you understand where we are now?" Link glared at her. He wasn't sure anymore if she was his ally, or his enemy. "I guess a promise is a promise, so I'll let you go back to where you first tumbled into twilight..." She was smiling slyly again. Link was starting to get tired of seeing that tooth. "But...are you really sure you should be going back? Are you sure you aren't forgetting anything important?" She giggled.
Midna spun around and, when she had come full circle, she took on the form of the young boy Colin. Midna, or as Link saw, Colin, let out a fake scream. Midna spun around again and became the blonde haired, green eyed Ilia. She let out a similar scream. Link could only stare, wide eyed and mouth open.
"Eee hee! Do you want to save them?" Midna still was in the form of Ilia. "Well, in that case, little Midna would be happy to help you!" Link could only glare at her. He wanted so bad to attack her like he had the Twili earlier.
"But...Well, you'd have to be my servant...and like a servant, you'd have to do exactly as I say!" Midna was herself once again.
"Why don't you go back, take a little time, and give it some thought. Eee hee hee!" She clearly had gotten to the point she had been waiting for.
Link gasped as he burst into tiny black squares, much like what could be seen floating up from the ground. He felt himself fly straight up into the sky. Midna giggled and jumped up after him.
I was crouched down on all fours, panting, trying to catch my breath. I was hiding in a small cave that served as a secret entrance into the Spirit Ordona's Spring. I wasn't afraid to admit to myself that I was scared.
I had barely outrun the twilight. It had spread over Hyrule so fast. Now, I was hiding in the only place not yet consumed by the darkness.
It was evening. The sun was slowly setting, and I could hear the people of Ordon finishing up their chores in the distance.
Midnight stood in the clearing in front of me. I could see my precious horse from where I was hiding. Midnight was grazing. I admired how calm she looked, even though I knew that Midnight was just as scared as I was.
Midnight suddenly looked up, twitching her ears. I heard it, too.
A voice... I listened to the voice that seemed slightly familiar.
It was the voice of a female. It was high pitched, almost sinister. I watched as Midnight disappeared into the shadows that were quickly forming from the lack of light.
I turned around in my hole and followed it until I was looking upon the Spring.
A young wolf was standing in the middle of the Spring. He was gray in color and had strange white markings across his side. He was looking up at the sky. I listened for the strangely familiar voice, but it was gone.
I watched the wolf slowly lower his gaze. He then turned around and exited the Spring. I turned around again and headed back the way I had come.
I stopped when I saw the clearing once again. I could faintly see the outline of my horse, hiding in the shadows. The young wolf seemed not to notice.
I noticed that the wolf seemed...depressed, if wolves had such feelings. I continued to watch as the wolf disappeared into the clearing that led into the town of Ordon.
A strange aura was emitting from the wolf. I knew that this wolf was special, but I didn't quite know how.
I found myself praying for the wolf.
I knew that the town would not welcome the beast...
Not after what had just happened to their children...
