Midna had warped the two to the Ordon spring. Soon after, the whole spring started to glow, and a huge light spirit appeared at the top.

"What…?" Faye began to say.

"Blue eyed beast; you must help the world of light. Help the other light spirits, and succeed in your journey to defeat the evil one, Divine Beast."

It flickered slightly and disappeared. The two walked away, toward Link's house.

"Where did Midna go?" Link asked, seemingly to himself.

"I'm right here."

Midna wasn't much; she was just a shadow, hiding in Link's shadow.

"I don't do well in the world of light."

Link smiled and walked on, Faye dragging beside him. Her pace was slowing, and she was panting.

"What's wrong Faye?" He asked, in a worried tone.

"Nothing…"

"If we're gonna get anywhere, we've gotta get at least a sword." Midna said.

"Yeah…" Faye muttered, stopping in front of Link's house.

"Are you sure you're feeling alright?"

"Link. Just go and get a damn bloody sword, alright? Then we can get out of here."

Link walked away with a confused look on his face.

"Midna…? You're a girl. What's wrong with Faye?"

"Ugh… It has nothing to do with being a girl! Haven't you noticed the huge scar on her leg, filled with shadow?"

"No! Why didn't you tell us?"

"Because it didn't look like it was bothering her."

"Midna… I don't know how things work where you come from, but telling someone something like that is a must in this world!"

*

Link soon made it back with a sword, carrying it on his back. Faye was still outside Link's house, lying there, amongst tall grass.

"Faye! Are you still alright?"

"For goddesses sake Link, I am fine!

Link had a look of uncertainty on his face, but Faye seemed to lead the way, towards the Faron woods.

They approached the entrance to the twilight.

"You're gonna need my help on this one, I'm afraid." Midna said.

Midna hovered through the portal, and an orange hand came and grabbed the two wolves, taking them to the twilight.

They all walked toward the Faron spring, where they were met by a strange voice.

"Blue eyed beast…" It beckoned. "Return light to this area using this…"

Out of nowhere, a strange item came down, in front of Link, as it was obviously meant for him.

"Destroy the insects of darkness, and recover the tears of light they hold."

Link walked off, seemingly in the direction of the insects. Faye muttered something about staying behind for a couple of minutes. As soon as Link was out of earshot, Faye lost it.

"You know, he's not the only one here! I'm here as well! I'm not just a follower, I'm his partner! Cut me some slack, will ya, you stupid light spirits!"

Faye ran off, wanting to get the anger out of her system. She ran past Link, who was sniffing the ground in search of the insects of darkness, but Faye was beating him to it. Link just stared, as she managed to collect the tears of light all by herself, ripping the insects apart.

She walked triumphantly past Link, head held high, as she walked toward the spring.

"Here are your damn tears of light!"

Link walked up next to her, and the container hovered above them both, and it expelled a bright light, and the area was back to its normal self. Link and Faye were both human again, Link wearing a new green tunic, and a new hat.

"Typical…"

Faye suddenly felt lightheaded, and passed out, in Link's arms.

"That girl certainly has a mouth in her." The spirit noted.

"Why? Did she say something?"

"She is jealous of you being the hero, while she is being ignored."

"Well, do you really blame her? It's me all you guys are focusing on, and she's the one doing all the work. She collected all of those tears."

"All of them?"

"Yes. She was in such a rage; she took it out on those bugs."

"Although you are the hero, I still sense a great potential within this girl. You would do well to see to her protection and safety."

"Yeah… But I guess I failed this time. She has a strange wound, filled with shadows…"

"Ah! I see what is making this girl so unhappy. The shadowy mess within the wound causes a depression, depending on where it came from."

"So, how do I make it go away?"

"Bathe the wound in the spring; it now has the properties to heal."

Link gently lay her in the warm, clear waters, rinsing away the shadow and blood away.

"I'll let the next light spirit know you're coming. Take care, young ones…"

As the light dissipated, Faye's eyes flickered open.

"Ugh… What happened? I can't remember anything past screaming at that spirit…"

"So that's what he was on about you being mouthy."

Faye lightly blushed, but she didn't know why.

"It's alright; I'll try to let you have a part in this as well… It's not all about me."

"He told you, huh?"

Link smiled and nodded his head.

"Well then, I'd best think we should get going, am I right?"

The two friends, in human form, made their way to Hyrule field, Faye skipping happily all along the way.

"You seem to be in a much better mood." Link said.

"I do, don't I? I guess that stupid shadowy stuff was making me feel all yuck."

Link smiled as he walked with Faye; only to return to another twilight entrance.

"The twilight is taking over faster than I first thought." Midna murmured.

"So does that mean we'll get turned into wolves again?" Faye asked.

"Yeah; at least until we can help the light spirit in Kakariko Village."

Midna floated through the portal, and grabbed Link and Faye. Kakariko was a nice enough place; aside from the twilight monsters. Link made his way over to the spring, and Faye followed.

"Please… Gather tears of light in this…"

The same as before, a container was given to Link. However, Faye had already begun to hunt them down. As Link went to join her, he looked at the container, and it seemed to be already full. Faye came running down from the mountains.

"Faye!" Link shouted, wagging his tail. "How did you do that in such a short time? That was amazing!"

"Well…" She panted. "I have my moments."

The two walked over to the spring, where light spread across the area, and there the light spirit was, hovering above the spring.

"Well done, young ones… You have restored light to this area… Go now, to Death Mountain, where you shall meet the gorons."

"Why should we go there?" Link asked.

"The gorons have been troubled lately; they refuse to let anyone up their mountain path. If you were to revert back to your beastly forms, and sneak past, you should be just fine."

"Alright then… I guess we're going to see the gorons!"

As Faye and Link walked up the path to Death Mountain, sneaking quietly past the goron guarding the mountain, Faye ran up to a stone, with an old shikah marking on it. Faye sat in front of it and listened carefully.

"Link! Come here… Can you hear it? I think we're supposed to howl."

"You sure about that?"

"Positive."

Link looked slightly nervous, but Faye howled the song perfectly.

When Link opened his eyes, he was still sitting next to Faye; but in a completely different setting. A lone, golden wolf gestured for them to start.

Faye and Link threw their heads back and howled a beautiful, sad tune. It was the Song of Healing.

"Come and find me, with sword in hand…"

The golden wolf jumped down from his platform and disappeared. Link and Faye opened their eyes to find they were back at Death Mountain.

"That felt good. I liked that." Faye smiled.

Link and Faye continued their trek up the mountain, but as humans. They didn't encounter anymore gorons, but there were plenty of them nearing the top.

"How are we supposed to get to the top?" Faye asked.

"I don't really know, too be honest…" Link replied.

"Midna! Come on out! Why don't you help us figure this out?" Faye asked.

"Well… I'm not so good at helping bossy kids!"

"What? I'm not a kid! I'm like seventeen! Anyways, it doesn't matter how old I am, I'd still be taller that you if I was ten years old!"

"You are so lucky I'm in this form right now!"

"Try it."

Midna and Faye stared at each other for several seconds, before Midna's hair started to glow orange.

"Come on now girls, let's not fight…" Link begged.

"Shut it, Link!" Midna screamed.

"Don't talk to him like that!" Faye answered back.

She pushed Midna's hovering form, and Midna lashed out with her powers, but Faye dodged the giant orange hand.

"Stop moving!"

Faye smiled as she dodged all of Midna's attacks.

"Come on, Midna! I'm sure you can do better that that!"

"Hey Link, look over there!" Midna shouted over to him.

Faye automatically looked as well, while Midna threw a hard punch at Faye. As she got up, a goron was standing over her.

"Ouch… That hurt…"

"Get out of here, human!" The goron shouted.

"Wait, wait, wait… Let's be reasonable here… I'm a girl! You can't hurt me!"

"Gender means nothing!"

The goron quickly moved his fist, so that it connected with Faye's stomach. Midna flinched as Faye hit the wall next to her.

"Ugh… Can't see… Stars? Yeah…"

Link ran over to Faye, picking her up.

"Great. This isn't gonna help any of us now, is it! Now we have to go back to Kakariko."

Midna sighed, knowing she had messed up. Faye groaned when Link moved her.

"Put me down Link."

"Are you sure? I mean, you took a lot of damage back there."

"Link! I'm not as delicate as you make me out to be! Stop treating me as if I would melt if it rained!"

"Oh… I'm sorry…"

"Don't worry about it. Link… Of course, you'll be there to protect me if there was any real danger, right?" She said, nudging him.

Link smiled, knowing neither of them could stay mad at each other for long.

"Midna…?" Faye whispered.

She came face to face with Faye.

"I'm sorry…!" Faye said, holding Midna in an embrace.

Midna liked the feeling of being loved; she enjoyed the warm feeling inside of her.

"It's alright… I'm sorry too. I got that feeling we're not gonna get along very well, but I guess that's alright… Since we're… Friends…"

Faye smiled, letting Midna fade back into Link's shadow, now unseen.

Link and Faye made the trek back down to the mountains, to Kakariko Village. Faye ran down the mountain road, but was stopped in an instant. She felt a cold, almost wet sensation grab her neck, rendering her useless.

Faye looked back to see her capturer. It had a strange stone face, similar to Midna's, but it covered its whole head. Its hands seemed to be covered up by the sleeves of its cloak. She had no idea how it was keeping her aloft, let alone the feeling of the cold, wetness of a hand holding her by the neck.

"Link!" She finally managed to scream. "Link, help me!"

"Shut up." A strange voice said.

"What…?" She whimpered.

"I said shut up!"

Faye flinched, at the now obvious masculine voice. Link ran onto the scene, Midna at his side.

"Zant!" Midna shouted.

"Ah… It's good to see you again, Midna. I see that you have to meddle with my plans, as usual."

"I started right from the beginning! Now let the girl go!"

"Now, why should I let her go, when she obviously means a lot to you, and the divine beast?"

"Hey, stupid! I also happen to be part of this! Now, let me go, so I can kick your ass!"

"Such impudence. Shut it now girl, or I'll be forced to take more drastic measures."

"Like what? Why don't you just try it?" She shouted.

Zant sighed.

"Faye, shut up! You don't know what he's capable of!" Midna said.

"If another word shall happen to escape you lips, you won't live to see another day pass by."

"Try me."

Link was about to dive at Zant, but Midna stopped him.

"If you even move toward him, he'll kill you as well."

"We can't just let it go on like this!"

Zant held Faye up even higher. Blood started to dribble out of her mouth.

"Why are you so bold as to stand up to someone who has you at complete mercy?

"I have nothing to lose; maybe except Link and Midna. But I'm sure they'll get over it. So do whatever you have to do, you bastard!"

Zant tightened his grip on Faye's neck, so that blood sprayed out of her mouth, onto Zant's cloak.

"Oh, that will never do now, will it?"

"It's a good look for you…" Faye muttered.

"You? You're not even unconscious yet? But how?"

"I wanna prove to myself how strong I am. So really you're doing me a favour!"

"It's about time you shut up!"

Zant once again tightened his grip on Faye's neck, rendering her incapable of any movement or speech. He threw her as hard as he could, to the ground in front of him. Despite Faye attempting to fake her unconsciousness, Zant came to the side of her head.

"I know you're still awake."

He placed his foot over her arm, and pressed down hard, until he heard a satisfying 'crack'. Faye screamed out in pain, blood dripping from her chin.

"I suppose I'll make my leave now." Zant held Faye by her hair, lifting her up to his face. "Don't even think about coming across me again. Got it?"

Faye didn't register what he just said.

"Got it?" He tightened his grip on her hair.

"Yes…!" She whimpered.

"Good."

Zant suddenly disappeared, leaving behind small, back squares, dropping Faye to the ground.

"Faye!"

Link ran to her side, practically in tears.

"I never meant for this to happen to you! It was supposed to be a simple journey! But I had to be some hero!"

"Link… I'm sorry as well… If I hadn't had picked that fight, we could be done with the gorons by now, and none of this would have happened…" Midna muttered.

"Midna… It's alright… He would have come no matter where we were."

Link picked Faye up, and stared at the empty village.

"Isn't there anyone here to help?" He shouted, seemingly to himself.

A tall, dark man, with dreadlocks walked out of the biggest building in Kakariko, with a young girl, hiding behind him.

"Over here. Quick, before the dark beasts return."

Link ran into the building, where he met some familiar faces; the children from Ordon: Malo, Talo, Beth and Colin.

"Lay the girl down; I can help her."

"Link? Is that you?" Colin asked.

"It sure is. I'm surprised to see you guys here."

"Those big monsters took us and just dumped us here… Anyway, who's the girl? You seem familiar with her, and I've never seen her before."

"This is Faye; I've been trying to get her to meet you guys for a while, but she's just a little shy…"

"Well, anyway, that's Renando over there, with his daughter, and Barnes, the bomb guy."

"Link!" Renando shouted, somewhat alarmed. "Come here, now!"

He ran over to Faye, who was starting to cough up even more blood.

"She needs to drink this healing spring water, but she won't drink it."

Renando put the wooden cup to Faye's mouth, but she wouldn't open her mouth.

"I'm… Not thirsty…" She muttered weakly.

"Faye…" Link called soothingly. "Drink this… Then you'll stop coughing up blood…"

"Link… I wanna… No…"

He picked Faye up in his arms. He knew she needed this water; otherwise it'll affect her later on. He persuaded her the only way she could be persuaded.

"Come on now, my little fox cub… Drink this for Link?"

"Ahh… I love you Link…"

Faye gently hugged Link, as she let him give her the clear liquid. Link cradled her in his arms.

Faye silently passed out again. Link placed her on the blanket she had been lying on before. He then walked outside, not saying a word.

"Midna…?" Link asked, waiting for a response.

She floated up in front of him.

"Yeah?"

"Promise me you won't mention what just happened. Faye gets really embarrassed about it."

"Why? We all have our strange comforts."

"I'm glad you understand, but still, promise, alright?"

"Alright. I promise. I hope she'll be well by the morning…"
