Prologue.
"Auuuuugggghhh!" A scream, comparable to that of a large beast, resonances throughout the castle grounds making all of Castle Town stop their usual activities and look to see if anything has happened. Inside, guards watch and stand in a fight position while Zelda approaches her younger half-sister; who looks at all of them and growls.
"(Y/N), just calm down, I don't know what happened but whatever it is it's over now!" She stands up and frowns deeply at all of them.
"No it's not...!" She points to a guard who is now shaking at her gesture. "He, like then sniveling weakling most of them are, insulted the Twilight Princess; by saying that he was glad the mirror broke and that she cannot come back because all she was a problem and deserved to stay there!" Zelda sighs then goes over to her sister.
"(Y/N) you can't get upset every time someone comments on the Twilight Princess, what is this really about?" She looks at her.
"You wouldn't get it! No one that nice has ever just up and left you like that before!" She gains a small smile then hugs her.
"That's it, look I know she was kind to you but then she left there is no reason... what is this?" She lifts her arm up and looks under her arm and sees a familiar mark, ones like she once had being infected by the Twilight. "(Y/N) do you know how long you've had this?" She snatches her arm back.
"I don't know, don't tell me you're thinking of something too!" She shook her head then went up to one of the guards.
"Go and find Link, it looks as if we are going to need him again." The guard nods then leave to her order.
Link sat near Lake Hylia waiting for the Prince, Ralis, to speak once more.
"Anything else?" The Prince shakes his head before walking over to said hero and giving him his thanks.
"Oh, but there was a message for you from Princess Zelda..." Link removes his Zora Helmet.
"What was it for?"
"Well, she said it had something to do with her half-sister and that you should come there immediately." Link blushes at hearing that, never would have thought that Zelda's half-sister would ever have anything this serious happen to her. Honestly that made him pretty happy. You see he loved her; at first he thought of her as a friend, then a close friend that he had to protect, then a lover that he couldn't live to see hurt or live without. He didn't know why but he just did and he enjoyed it honestly. He nods to the prince.
"Alright, I'll go get going now thanks to letting me know!" Link spoke while jogging off, the prince gives him a small wave as he goes off and leaves for the castle.
Once there Link is greeted by Zelda at the door.
"What's up? Did something happen to (Y/N)?" She nods.
"Yes, but I'm not sure if it's anything serious, but you're going to have to see this for yourself…" She started to walk further inside with Link behind her. "She's sleeping right now so you'll have to be quiet not to wake her." He nods knowing that for some reason she was easily set off awake or otherwise. They get to the bedroom of (Y/N)'s, that was right next to Zelda's, and they walked inside quietly seeing (Y/N) sleeping peacefully, her sister walks over to her and bends down to where her face level as does Link, him being a bit taller. "Look…" She removes the blanket and lifts her arm up, Link looks then his eyes go wide at the sight.
"W-what? How is that possible?!" She shakes her head and puts the blanket back down.
"I do not know... All that I do know is that sooner or later this is going to expel out just like all the rest of them, she's even shown signs of becoming hostile, like the other day, she confronted a guard simply because he spoke rudely of the Twilight Princess..." Link smiles slightly remembering the last time he had gotten to see Midna in her true self, he shakes his head and goes back to the manner at hand.
"So… what should we do about it then?" She stands up then walks out not wanting to chance waking (Y/N) up.
"I believe that you know what to do, this may not be the Mirror of Twilight but it's close to a portal is it not? Or at the very least she can possibly manifest one?" He nods.
"Yeah, if I did something activate it then I'm sure it could work." Zelda nodded.
"So we would need you to somehow make this portal open and go inside of it, and find out what's happening to (Y/N)." He blushes.
"Wait, so does that mean I get to spend time with (Y/N)?" She nods, Link chuckles and he mentally does a fist pump.
"Aww yeah!" He says a bit too loud. Zelda quiets him down before closing her eyes.
"Link, I know you like (Y/N) but that doesn-" Zelda is cut off when (Y/N)'s door opens up and they both look to her seeing her with dilated eyes, she looks at Zelda and growls but then over to Link and her eyes slowly soften up. Link offers a smile to her.
"Hey (Y-Y/N)!" She walks over slowly before throwing herself at Link, stowing her face into his chest, this causing Zelda to stare in confusion and Link to watch her utterly lost and flustered.
"Link!" She says while crying. Link finds some words and speaks.
"Uh yeah?" She looks up to him with red eyes.
"You promise not to be like Zelda or anyone from Hyrule?" He looks to Zelda and she sighs but nods, he looks back to (Y/N).
"Uh yeah I do... but since you're up... you wanna go somewhere with me?" She giggles and nods, she then turn to Zelda with a deep frown.
"Can I go with him." She said in more of a command than a question.
"Yes, but just don-" (Y/N) cuts her off.
"Great, common I'll go wait outside for you!" He chuckles to her then she skips down the halls with glares toward anyone who came near her, Zelda sighs and looks back to Link.
"Link, remember what I said find out what that is and cure it!" He nods to her.
"Alright, alright just don't worry too much about her okay?" She sighs before nodding.
"I won't, also be careful I wouldn't want my only way of calming her down dead." He smiles to her then nods jogging off toward where (Y/N) went.
Link's P.O.V.
I meet up with (Y/N) and she gives me one of the best heart pounding smiles I've ever seen, making the blood from my chest go straight to my head.
"Oh, Link, I'm so glad you came when you did!" She said in a more than relieved tone, we walk through Castle Town sometimes getting unnecessary stares from Princess admirers.
"Oh really, why so?" We make it out of town, walking through the field not seeing a single monster, which made me smile to myself. She lowers her voice before looking at her fingernails.
"Well, um... could I... tell you something?" I look to her and offer a smile.
"Of course, you can share anything with me!" She smiles before frowning and looking down.
"Well, recently, I've been making everyone, including Zelda, very upset. I'll just get angry and annoyed and I'll lash out at any and every one just because…" I chuckle to my self. Yeah I noticed… "But I think I know why…" I stop and look at her.
"Well common, you can tell me, I promise not to tell Zelda if it makes you anymore open." She looks then shakes her head and walks back over to the bridge and steps on one of the planks.
"No I can't… I don't know what may happen." I walk over to her and touch her warm shoulder.
"(Y/N) you can tell me anything, honestly if anything does happen you have the 'Hero' to protect you, you know?" She grunts then nods before taking a small breath, she didn't look up but spoke fully.
"Well, a few nights ago, someone visited the Castle, specifically my room. I thought it was just a thief so I could just take care of them on my own without alerting the guards or my sister, but when I looked around for the person, I found it was… something not of our world… but of the Twilight realm!" I swallow the lump I didn't realize I was holding.
"Was… was it Minda?" She shakes her head.
"No, it looked nothing like her actually, yes it was of her kind, but no one I would call normal. Even for them." She shivered a bit tightly gripping her hands together. "He had bright yellow hair and deep pink eyes that stood out the most in the darkness; he came over to me and did this to my arm…I tried to defend myself but he was entire too powerful." She lifts her arm, already aware of design, I just look at it.
"Why do you think he did it?" She lowers her arm and shakes her head.
"I don't know, if I did I would try and figure it out more." She pauses. "But he told me something before he left that night." I lean closer to her.
"What was it?" She stares at me then oddly gains a smile.
"It was like a riddle and I've been trying to figure it out all this time… he said; the ones most familiar with the dessert, will come back and this time the object of desire will show once more." I look at her.
"Do you think he means me and Zelda?" She shrugs.
"I thought that too. You two were the only ones that have even been there to begin with, but what confused me was the object of desire. What do you think he meant by that?" I think for a while before speaking.
"It couldn't be that… Could it mean the Mirror of Twilight?" She gasps.
"Does that mean that one of you wants Minda back?" I shrug.
"I wouldn't know, I figured she'd be happy back in her own world, I did enjoy her being with us but she must be happy there, so I don't want to take her out of that. Zelda, I don't know about, she did like having her around when she was here… I think we should tell her." (Y/N) stops me.
"No… we can't tell Zelda! N-not until we're sure about this!" She didn't look upset, more as she looked concerned and worried, I smiled and nodded to her.
"I get it, (Y/N), maybe we should go back to the Mirror Chamber, something should happen if you have that on you." She nods.
"Right!"
We get to mirror chamber and still the remains of what was left is there, (Y/N) looks around utterly lost, she's never been here before so I don't blame her, I go over and lift up her arm again.
"Does it feel any different?" She looks up to me with wide innocent eyes and shakes her head.
"No, not at all…" I groan.
"Then what could it be…" I look around trying to think of anything else I could do. I stop when I hear the familiar sound of warping fill my ears, I try and go over to (Y/N) in an attempt to protect her, when I hear her screaming, I realize I was too late. "Damn!" I take out my sword and see (Y/N) floating in midair with someone who reminds me of the Twli people.
"Link!" She screams out to me, I grunt taking out my sword and holding it.
"Give her back!" He chuckles then snaps his fingers creating another vortex beside them.
"Ah! Lin-" She disperses into it then it fades away.
"(Y/N)!" I hear her scream echo in the empty dessert before it vanishes all together, I growl then look to the one who summoned it. "Who are you and what did you do with her!" He chuckles then floats down to me.
"Exactly whom might you be? I heard of some Hero boy who has a crush on her but I didn't expect him to look so… amateurish, putting it lightly." I growl and grip my sword tighter. "But, I will tell you one thing. These portals have been opened again, but it's not here…" He floated around and turned on his back looking down to Link. "Oh I might as well tell you! It doesn't matter anymore." He turned upright once more. "Remember somewhere she loved, and hated… For only you can guess where it is." He floats back up. "And as for who I am. I am the servant of the Twilight Princess and now our Queen, who has ordered me to capture (Y/N)! Dai is my name, find me if you can Amateur Hero!" He chuckles loudly and disappears without a trace; I grit my teeth then remember what he said.
"A place where (Y/N) loved and hated?" I shake feeling pain there, I figured thinking to much was going to kill me. I shake my head then start to travel back to Hyrule
I hadn't even been there for two minutes as Zelda bombarded me with questions of all sort forcing me to tell her what happened and, as usual, she lashes out at me, I tried to explain that I couldn't even if I wanted to but she refused to listen to me.
"Look, Link I'm not upset that she was kidnapped, more as I'm worried! I'm upset because you took her there when I just told you to just figure out what it was. I didn't say save the day, all that was going to do was ruin everything and looks like I was right!" She starts walking down the hallway, I follow close behind her.
"Hey, I'm just as upset as you are, I felt so... hopeless, like he had something on me…" She stops walking. "But I'm going to get her back and when I do she'll be back to normal!" She sighs and turns to me.
"How are you going to do that, you have a riddle and no idea!" I roll my eyes.
"Well... I'll think of something!" She sighs a bit. "And instead of criticizing me, maybe you could help out… you are her sister right?"
"Yes, but that does not mean that I was aware of her every dislike and like, you loved her so you should know a bit more about this stuff!" I groan.
"Okay, okay fighting like this isn't going to bring her back..." Zelda fiddles with her fingers. "Look, all we need to do is start mapping out this stuff and we can find her." She huffs, calming herself and nods.
"You're right, well then we better get working, we need her back as soon as can be or else it will cause an uproar in the streets!" I nod agreeing with her.
Elsewhere...
"How. Could. You. Do. This?" Dai sits on his knee in front of Minda while she scolds him. (Y/N) was perfectly fine behind the princess and waiting for her to finish her rant. "I've told you, and I even stressed this to you, get the Princess' permission to bring (Y/N) here and not to infect her while doing so!" He chuckles.
"In all kindness, your highness..." She huffed. "The Hyrulean Princess was a bit of a letdown... So I didn't speak to her and took it to the source directly!" Midna growls tapping her foot unmoved by his statement. "I'm not sorry for what I have done, but seeing as how I did my job..." She groans finished with the conversation, she turns to (Y/N) with a forced smile.
"(Y/N), I am so sorry he did that, are you alright?" She nods and smiles.
"Yes, I am alright. But Midna, why did you want to bring me here?" She sighs and walks over to her grabbing her hands.
"Because, I wanted to make sure that you were alright. I could tell that you were going to miss me after Zant tried his way on you and I thought it was rude of me to just leave you like that…" She smiles.
"Well, I'm fine now, thank you for caring so much!" Midna chuckles but is interrupted by Dai.
"Oh, your highness?" She growls.
"What is it now!" Dai chuckles.
"Well, I recently noticed something, something, how do you say... unique about this one." She narrows her eyes.
"What do you mean?" He teleports over to her and lifts up her arm exposing her Twilight infection.
"This was already in development even before I had anything to do with it, I just made it visible. It's nearly looks like yours that you have on your thigh there." She blushes before gently grabbing her arm and looking at it. Midna gasps.
"He… he's right!" (Y/N) looks at her confused.
"(Y/N), do you know what this means?" She shakes her head. Midna takes her hands.
"It means somehow you're Twilight royal blood!" She gasps in shock, happiness, and confusion.
"This could also mean that you are Midna's sibling." Dai added.
"B-but what about Zelda? I grew up with her and don't remember anything about this place." She shrugs.
"This is strange indeed, but for sure if you've always had this, then you are of no doubt of royal blood in the Twilight Kingdom." She smiles but then loses it.
"Wait, what about Link?" She smiles remembering those days with him.
"What about him?" (Y/N) blushed while looking down.
"She loves him and it more than worries her if he'll even like her if he finds out about this." Midna looks at her.
"Really?" (Y/N) nods touching her hair playing with the ends of it.
"Yes, I don't know if Link would want to deal with someone who could very well be part of the Twilight world again…" She grabs her shoulders and gives her a smile.
"I don't see why he would. But if it bothers you that much I'll reassure you." (Y/N) looked to Midna. "He will still care dearly for you and you want to know why?" (Y/N) swallowed. "Because you're (Y/N) and you are more lovable then anything and anyone I've ever met!" She smiles and looks down Midna smiles and rubs her arms. "But a relationship is the last thing you need worry about…" She turns to Dai and thrusts her hand out.
"Go fetch Link... and make sure he gets here unharmed and of his free will!" He bows to her.
"As you wish..." He snaps his fingers and disappears from the room. Midna sighed and turned back to her sudden sister.
"Now, as for you, we should probably see what else you can do, being my sister you should be able to do all sorts of things!" (Y/N) giggles and nods. She frowns before staring down at her hands.
"But, I just hope Link and Zelda won't worry too much." She nods and pats her shoulders.
"Trust me, as long as Dai listens to me they won't." She nods at her reassurement, then leaves with her still with Link's reaction the only thing in her mind.
