Another chapter! I know it's been like forever, but ya know, senior year is frustrating...

Edit: Mayor Bo and Jaggle's conversation taken from the game.


It hadn't taken long for Midna to bring Link's mood down as far as it could go. She, sadly, hadn't left. Link was depressed to know that Midna was hiding in his shadow. She was, after all, a Twili and couldn't come into the Light Realm without serious consequences. She had to resort into hiding in his shadow.

Midna told Link that she needed weapons worthy of using in the Twilight Realm. A sword and a shield...Link knew just where to get them, but he wasn't looking forward to stealing the gifts to the Royal Family.

The mayor had instructed two of the townsmen to make a sword and shield for the Royal Family. The sword was made by Rusl, Colin's dad, and the shield was made by Malo and Talo's family.

Link heard something run by him, but he didn't look up from the ground. Link was too depressed.

Whatever it was that had passed him back in the clearing stopped in front of him. Link had to look up.

It was a cat. It was as black as night, even darker, and it had one blue eye and one brown eye. It was looking up at him, smirking.

"Hello zhere." It had a slight accent. Link could tell that it was a girl. "You mus' be Link." Link stared at the strange cat. Her eyes were mesmerizing. Link nodded.

"Yes...how did you know?" The cat smiled.

"I jus' knew...ze townsfolk are in a uproar...apparently somezhing terrible haz happened." The cat was still smirking at him. "Zhey are vorried about you..." The cat paused and then looked at her feet. "Jus' zhought I'd tell you." The cat then turned around and bounded off. Link could only stare as the cat's fluffy tail disappeared around the corner.

Link instantly took off. He ran around the corner that the cat had disappeared around and soon was standing in front of his house.

There were two bokoblin standing in the clearing. Link had seen them before. Their appearance in Ordon was rare. Whenever they were around, trouble was about to start or had already started.

They turned their ugly heads in Link's direction. They started running at him, their clubs in the air, ready to strike.

Link pounced on the closest one. It shrieked in pain as Link sunk his teeth into its neck. Link jumped off as it started flailing. The other one was close, its club was coming down...

Link jumped out of the way as the club hit the ground where he had been standing. Link jumped again and sunk his teeth into its neck. Link then jumped back off and pounced on the first one again. Link didn't bite it, but hit it with enough force that it was knocked onto its back...it lay still.

Link turned to the other and repeated the same process. Both lay still. There was a 'pop!' and both their bodies were gone.

Link turned around and continued his way into the village. The cat was long gone. Link was sad for some reason...her voice...those eyes...she had seemed so familiar.

Link heard voices off in the distance of the village. Beth's dad, Haunch, was standing on a ledge that overlooked the town. He was looking up at the sky and was crying.

Link walked closer, temporarily forgetting that he was a wolf. Link wanted to know what was wrong.

Haunch turned around and yelled.

"A beast! Come back for more have ya? Your not causing anymore trouble here!" The man then picked a piece of grass that was, strangely, shaped like a bird. He then blew on it and out of the clouds flew a falcon. It then flew down and landed on the man's arm.

"Take this you beast!" The falcon then flew toward Link and started pecking at him. Link could only howl in pain.

Link ran as fast as he could away from the attacking falcon. It was hard, considering the fact that it was digging its claws into his back. Link managed to get away when Haunch called back the bird, laughing.

Link's shadow seemed to leap up into the air and stop in front of him. It was in the shape of Midna and the only sign of life was its florescent green eyes.

"That stupid old man...does he not realize who he is messing with?" The shadow Midna started looking around. "There is a light on over there at the waterwheel house. Go check it out Link...just get around that crazy guy first." Midna laughed and the shadow leaped back into its rightful place.

Link managed to get around Haunch, who was so distracted that he didn't notice Link passing by. Link crossed over the small bridge that led into the clearing of the waterwheel house. When he got close to the house Link saw the mayor, Bo, and Malo and Talo's dad, Jaggle, talking by a small fire in front of the door. Link moved closer to the two chatting men and sank into some nearby weeds.

"...So, that shield is still in your house, right?" Mayor Bo asked.

"Uh, yeah, it should be in our storage loft," Jaggle answered.

"Good! Go grab it, quick as you can! Rusl got wounded pretty bad, so he can't go search for the kids. I'll take over for him."

"But Rusl had a sword, Mayor! And he still got hurt! If you're unarmed, you're done for!"

"I'll be fine. The sword we were goin' to present to the royal family should still be at Rusl's house."

"Oh yeah? All right, I understand, Mayor. I'll hurry up and get that shield. You just wait here..."

Link stood up straight, towering above the weeds, and growled. The Mayor and Jaggle both jumped.

"No good! Run!"

"That's not a bad bit of information you heard, huh?" Midna said as she appeared in front of him. She then looked up at the house. "Ugh... Look at that open window. This village is full of idiots. So..." She looked around, and then smiled as she pointed to the waterwheel. "We should jump up there...but from where?" She slyly nodded in the direction of the platform that Haunch was currently standing guard on. She then laughed and disappeared.

Link made his way across the bridge and back in front of Sera's shop. That was when he heard a "meow" and turned around. It was Sera's calico cat.

"I'm so sorry about the man up there. He's my...master's husband unfortunately. But, I happen to know that he scares very easily. Just jump onto the roof of my master's shop and from there, scare the old man and go where you need to." Link could only stare at the cat. He nodded after a second, and then made his way.

There was a small drop off beside Sera's shop. It was the perfect height to jump from. Link jumped and barely made it onto the roof without falling off. Link glanced over at Haunch to make sure that he hadn't noticed.

Link quietly snuck up behind Haunch and then howled. The man jumped in fright and landed in the water below. Link couldn't help but laugh to himself.

Link then carefully jumped onto the waterwheel, which instantly almost knocked him back off, and made it onto the roof. Link then looked down through the open window and, taking a deep breath, jumped inside.
