AN- What does "No Flames" mean? Is it something like, "don't yell at me if my first three chapters are on the first page?" Sorry, I had to say that. Somebody was just being a critic and yelled at me cause of that. So I yelled at him back. =D
Anyway, this ones kinda short, but read and review anyway! YAY!
I don't own Zelda in general, but I did come up with the Twili people's names. Thanks mucho! XD
(Midna's POV) A large group of teenagers awaited Midna and stood around her when she got inside. They had huge smiles on their faces and excited expressions.
"Did I miss something?" asked Midna irritated.
Their smiles didn't flinch at her tone; in fact, they smiled bigger.
"What?" Midna asked again, looking around.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" They yelled.
Midna groaned internally. She knew it wasn't her birthday; it was just a practical joke.
Someone's going to have to put them back in kindergarten…
"Sorry, princess! We… we just wanted to ask you something, so we decided we'd suck up first," one of the teenagers said frankly. His friend smacked him on the arm while still smiling at Midna.
"Right now, the answer is no. But, what's the question?"
"Can we go to the light world?!" one of the girls asked.
"No."
The teenagers moaned and followed Midna to the palace.
"Why can't we?" they pressed.
Midna hesitated. Why didn't she want them going to Hyrule? If they caused havoc, they would just be killed by the Hyrulian soldiers. They weren't very bright kids either, and they didn't know how to use Hyrulian weaponry.
"There are some things in that world that are too horrible for your young eyes," Midna reasoned.
"You just saved it though!" they shot back.
Midna stopped and turned around to face them.
"Why do you want to go to the world of light?" the Twilight Princess asked the Twili.
"We want to meet your boyfriend!!" the girl yelled excitedly.
Link?! My… my boyfriend?! Midna didn't know if she took satisfaction in that, or was entirely repulsed.
"I have no boyfriend," Midna murmured darkly.
"We want to see the Princess of light!"
"She's busy rebuilding Castle Town and Hyrule Castle."
"We want to see the land you love…" one of the shy people whispered. Midna heard it like she was yelling.
"Fine."
The teenagers cheered and started running for the Mirror of Twilight, but Midna put her hand up and used Twilight Magic to hold them back without hurting them.
"Not today. Maybe tomorrow. If not, next week. And you have to go one at a time."
They all groaned again, and some mumbled swear words and things Midna didn't want to hear.
There were some whispering about escaping during the night, but Midna went over to the Mirror of Twilight and put a protective bubble around the spot.
"No one can get in," Midna began, "and no one can get out. And that's that!"
Midna marched back up to her palace and lied down in her bed. There was a lot of loud hissing and whispering going on outside her door, making her believe the teenagers were inside the palace. But soon she tuned it out, and let herself drift off to sleep.
Later that night…
(Some random teenager's POV) "Come on! Ramel, hurry up!" Ely yelled to me. She was one of my best friends that were girls, and only she knew the jinx to unlock the protective bubble around the Mirror of Twilight. I was one of the slow ones, but it didn't seem to bother me.
Me and about twenty other kids who were brave enough to sneak out were about to see the light world Princess Midna loved.
Ely put her hands out, making a giant U. She made an 'L' and a backwards 'L' with her forefingers and thumbs and aimed it at the bubble.
"Ya!" she yelled. A blue and black magic spurted out of her hands. We all looked around to make sure no one was coming to see what was happening, but all was silent in the Twilight Realm.
"Alright. We have to go one at a time, but we have to go super quick. The protection bubble is a strong one, and will appear again after about ten minutes. No slow-pokes! Okay, Lenzy, you go first."
It was like this for a long time, Ely calling out names. She was the oldest of all of us, and we all trusted her.
There was about thirty seconds left. Ely and I were the only ones remaining.
"Go, Ely!" I whispered. "Before time runs out!" Wasn't it polite to let the girl go first?
"Ramel, thanks, but you go." She shoved me onto the platform, and before I could say anything, the bubble came out, and I dissolved into the world of light.
(Link's POV) "Are… you… kidding me?!" Link mumbled. There was still the strange war going on around here, and he still didn't find the place of it. He started home again. When he crossed the bridge that led from Arbiter's Grounds to Hyrule Field, he called Epona. They took a little stroll through the area for awhile.
A few hours later, Link heard screams. They weren't screams of terror, but screams of children, just, playing. Playing in a war zone?
Following the sound of the laughter, he and Epona cantered to the children.
In Lanayru Province, he found children playing tag. It was hard to see who they were against the darkness. He didn't want these kids to be shot or anything, so he hurried over to them on Epona.
"Who are you guys, and why aren't you in your hous-" Link broke off when he got to them. They… they looked like the Twili.
"Are you Link?!" one of the girls asked excitedly.
"Yes… and who are you…?
"OMIGOSH!" They all yelled.
"Princess Midna wants you back!"
"She forgives you!"
They all yelled more, but Link only picked out one.
"Princess Midna loves you."
He knew these children were the Twili now. One of the kids stepped forward.
"I'm Shaiya!" one of the girls exclaimed. "I'm Princess Midna's cousin!"
"No you're not!" another girl shot back.
"Shut up, Aeria!"
One of the boys rolled his eyes and stepped up to Link. "Hey, I'm Ramel. We were just curious about the light world. We'll leave if you want us too."
"Ramel, remember the bubble? We can't get back unless Princess Midna takes off the protective force."
"Oh yeah- and she'll be pretty pissed when she finds out we're gone. Which will make her take off the bubble and come see you!" Ramel concluded.
These kids seem pretty focused on getting me and Midna together. Of course, Midna would hate that, according to the episode she had when I kissed her.
"You kissed her?!" Shaiya yelled.
Oh god. "Uh, how did you…?"
"I can read minds. Was it great?! Did it go well?! Tell me everything!"
Treading close to personal ground, here. Link's memory of it hardened. He didn't even have to say anything.
"Oh," Shaiya mumbled glumly. "I'm… We're sorry…"
"What happened, Shaiya?!" the kids asked, swarming around her.
"It didn-"
The next moment happened so fast that in Link's memory, it was all a blur. Monsters attacked the Twili children and transformed them. Their gut-wrenching screams rang out that Link bet even Midna could hear them. So this was the monsters that one guy was talking about…
But Link couldn't hurt them! They were Midna's people! So how was he to defend himself?!
"Kill…" the monster that appeared to be in charge whispered to the new monsters. They staggered forward towards Link and surrounded him. Everywhere he turned he would see bulky creatures with glowing red eyes.
"Kill…" the monster whispered again, in that same chilling tone. Link's heart pounded, his adrenalin raced. He whipped out his sword and shield, trying to put on the most bravest look he had. He didn't feel his Triforce of Courage working very well.
For the last time, the monster whispered "Kill…" again, and Link felt as though his heart had been ripped out, literally. He let a scream escape as the monster children tried to rip him in half. Unwillingly, his eyes flickered closed and he fell into the depths of unconsciousness.
