Well here we are. Next chapter

Link and Midna were very happy they had just given birth to their son Xato. The helpless
baby was crying and Link quickly put a blanket around him and handed him to Midna.
Midna looked into her sons face, he had inherited traits from both yet he some how had
Midnas from her real form. He had red hair and the same body structure as Midna, she
could tell he would be very tall, he had Links eye color and shape, he also was a light
dweller. Link and Midna had wondered about this, what would their baby be like? But it
seemed that had nothing to worry about, even Midna wanted it to be a light dweller, she
had to endure people staring at her like she was a freak when she walked past them, she
didn't want this fate for her baby. It was true every time she passed someone who hadn't
seen her she was given a stare that clearly said 'who is this weirdo?' Midna looked and
Link and smiled, they had their baby and it was ok. Link and Midna went to bed
treasuring their new son. The next day Link and Midna decided to celebrate the birth of
their new son, Link made treats for Midna and himself, the baby was too young to have
any. They played games all day, usually with the baby. At five o clock they decided to
go to a cliff in Hyrule that was a romantic place around sunset. It always made Midna
happy to see twilight fall onto this world, they set off bringing the baby with them. They
sat on the cliff slightly south of the Hyrule castle town. It was nearly twilight, Minda put
her head on Links shoulder and watched the sun go down, Xato was asleep. Link and
Midna sat there for a hour thinking of nothing but each other and their baby Xato. Midna
woke up from her trance to check on Xato, she received a shock, Xato was now a twili.
His skin was black and white and he now had red eyes, except they were white and
not yellow.
"Link" Midna said "I think you should take a look at our son." Link too looked
over and received a surprise, as he saw a baby twili clapping and smiling at the silly
expressions on his parents faces. It was obvious Xato would be human by day and night
and twili when the sun rose and set. Xato was a very quite person through all his life, they
figured it was possibly genetics, Link too hardly ever spoke. When Xato was five Midna
had taught him magic, which he could use at any time. Midna had reported to Link that
Xato was very gifted he could use light and shadow magic whenever he wanted. Midna
also told Link that the eyes of twili can detect shadow magic and its type, and a mastered
eye of light could see light magic Xato could change his eyes whenever he wanted,
however he would keep his skin color depending on the time of day. By the age of eight
Link started teaching Xato the art of sword fighting. Xato had a natural gift when it came
to sword fighting, he had mastered all the basics and learned five hidden skills, Link had
meant to only teach him four because the rest were supposed to be for heros,
however Xato had seen the mortal draw used and got the gist of how to use it. Midna and
Link had always tried to keep Xato in the house during sunrise and sunset, when Xato
had gone in public as a twili at Caslte Town many people pointed and Link had sworn he
had heard someone say 'is that guy the freak girls child?' It sickened Link to know that
people would insult Midna and a innocent five year old just because they looked
different. Xato had no friends, not that he tried that hard to make them Xato was
antisocial at the age of nine. One day at the age of ten Xato confronted his parents during
dinner.
"Mom I'm a freak." Xato said
"What?" Midna said, this had come completely out of the blue
"I'm a freak…" Xato repeated
"What! No your not Xato, your just different like me see?" Midna said
"No mom you're a twili, and dads a human. I'm not either of this things."
"Xato you're a twili and a human, your unique." Midna said
"No mom, I am neither twili or human I'm a deformed freak."
"Listen Xato." Link said "I want you to tell me who told you this."
"I did dad, you guys know it too you keep me in the house so people don't make fun of
me."
"Xato th-that's not true." Midna said
"Liar…" Xato said "Tell me the truth, you didn't even need to ask why I thought I was a
freak. You knew it from the start which is why your started defending the idea that I was
'like you'.
"Xato why are you even bringing this up?" Link said annoyed
"Because I am an outcast treated like trash….and I'm sick of you doing nothing about it.
I thought you were the amazing Link, are you truly pathetic to the point you let your own
son get treat like trash? What kind of hero are you?"
"Go to your room Xato!" Link shouted "And don't you ever call your mother a liar
again." Xato stormed off to his room which used to be the basement until they put light in
there. They now knew why Xato was so quite. Five years passed, Xato was now fifteen
and as tall as his father. Midna often said it was funny how a seventeen year old had a
fifteen year old son. Xato was a accomplished swordsman and was very advanced at
magic, so advanced in fact that he had mastered some moves by combing light and
shadow magic that Midna had never seen before. Link and his son were sword fighting
with wooden swords to avoid injury. Xato too was a lefty, the continued fighting until
Midna forced them to go inside. Link never quite understood his son, he said good fight
at the end however his son said nothing, he rarely spoke even to his mother and father.
Perhaps it was Links imagination but it seemed like his son would
give him the evil eye. Did he hate his dad? Link had shared these feelings with Midna
while Xato was taking a stroll, Midna said that was ridiculous.
"What could you have possibly done to make him hate you?" Midna asked
"I don't know." Link said "Its just….well when has he ever seemed to like me?"
"Well you two have fun training together." Midna said
"Not exactly he takes it so much more seriously than I do, that look in his eyes….."
"Listen Link you may be a master at sword fighting but the rest of us know that if we mess up then we can do a lot of damage of course he's being serious I'm glad."
"I suppose so." Link said and he went to bed. The next day there was some news. A
guard had come to their house and brought a note from Zelda saying that a grave robber
had violated the Hyrule cemetery. Link was now payed to fix stuff like this, Midna
said she wanted to come this time, Link agreed. Xato was nowhere to be seen so they left
a note on the door telling him that they would be right back. They warped to Hyrule and
went to see Zelda who lead them to the cemetery all the graves looked fine but one,
Ganondorfs. Link didn't know what to think, why would anyone take Ganondorfs body?
Midna however said "Perhaps it was King Bulbin trying to bury his master in their
proper way?"
"After sixteen years?" Link asked.
"Good point." Midna said
"I'm glad I brought you I'm no good at this" Link said
"Well I don't know what to say." Midna said "We have no idea who it could have been.
If we get anything though we will tell you"
"I shall call you if it happens again." Zelda said. Link and Midna warped back to Ordon
and went back to their home, the note was taken off, Xato was home. They opened the
door and sure enough there was Xato, with Ganondorfs sword propped up next to him,
his left hand glowing with the triforce of power.
