Dark's POV
"Oh great, the fairy's here." I muttered to myself, glaring at everything. I could feel a migraine starting to form in the back of my head, the longer I looked at her. "Is there any way to turn off the brightness that is you?"
"Well the only way for my light to go out is for me to die…"
"No." The fainty girl, Carolanne, said before I could reply. "You are not killing her, we need her."
"I doubt she's that important, plus shouldn't she be with fairy boy or whatever?"
"You're his shadow; doesn't that make you the same as him?" Mary interrupted, almost hesitantly,
"No. Don't even think that. Shame on you. Shame. Shameeeeee."
I could see both of the girls trying to hold in their laughter. "It is not something to laugh at. We are both a lot different than Link."
"No, No, of course you are, I totally believe you." Carolanne said sarcastically, grinning and laughing a bit.
"I need air." I make my way towards the door, reaching for the handle before stopping. "wait, you." I point to the red head. "Come with me."
"What? Why?!" She replied, a little startled.
"You want to get food for the fainty girl don't you."
"That's not my name." Carolanne piped in, only to be ignored by everyone around her.
" But it's Dark out, what if I get lost in the Shadows…?" Both the girls erupted into laughter, muttering something about 'Puns' in between giggles. I looked at Shadow to see if he had any idea what they were talking about, but he looked just as confused and slightly afraid as I felt.
"You'll be fine, just come on." I left the room, being flanked by Mary, leaving both Shadow and Carolanne by themselves.
Carolanne's POV
"I wonder why he took Mary with him." I said after a few moments of awkward silence, trying to make some sort of conversation. Dark and Mary had been gone a little while, and both myself and Shadow had taken a seat on the floor, leaning up against the wall.
Shadow just shrugged, still looking at the door.
We sat silently for a little while, I tried to think of something to talk about but to be honest I wasn't great at conversation at all. Maybe I should ask him about himself? I thought to myself, before asking, "So why were in Kakiriko village anyhow?" I asked him, "I mean, aren't you evil or something?"
Shadow looked startled at that. "How did you know I was evil?"
"Well my best friends like your stalker, she knows almost everything about you, she's read the manga, played your game, she knows a lot about you."
Shadow blinked slowly. "What's a manga? And, wait, my game? What?"
"Oh. Rightttt. Might not've been the best thing to tell you, but too late now the cats outta the bag. Let's just say she's magic okay."
"Um okay that's weird but alright. And to answer your question let's just say I'm neutral at the moment, neither evil nor good."
I nodded at his answer, before looking back at the door and biting my lip nervously. I really shouldn't have told him that.
Mary's POV
"So…. The town's pretty Dark tonight, huh?" I said as I started to pick off the cucco feathers from earlier.
"I'm guessing its dark every night…"
"But even though it's Dark, I can still see Shadows."
"Yes you can. It's still a little bright out…"
"Maybe the light is… Linked to the Shadows. Maybe we should Navigate to the indoors."
I could see the confusion and irritation on Dark's face as I made pun after pun. Oh, I could've done the sages as well, but that's going a bit too far…
Dark stopped walking. "I have no idea what you're doing, but stop. It's driving me crazier."
"Er? You're already crazy?" I wasn't expecting him to admit to being crazy.
"I was created by Ganondorf, what do you think?"
"Oh, so you were created by Ganondorf." I said pryingly.
"Um, yes. I was created by Ganondork, I mean dorf. Um, what?"
I was about to say something when I tripped and fell on my face. Wonderful.
"A… basket?" Dark said. I picked myself up and turned around to see Dark holding a basket. "It's addressed to you and the fainty-girl."
"What?" I said while picking up a note on top of the basket. The note read:
'Thought you needed help
Hope we were right…
~The Sages '
