HI there, folks!

Did anyone notice that Midna's and Link's POV ended with the same thought? I gotta tell you guys how proud I was of myself as I accomplished such an amazing task! Yeah, but enough of my awesomeness and let's come to thank the awesomeness of the reviewers!

LoveandZeLink Hehe... I´m glad you liked it. The reason I didn´t make Link emo is I already read so many fics with Link emo because of Midna´s bye bye. So I thought hey why not make Link not an emo... It´s not like you would turn into an emo when your boyfriend would go into another realm and never come back again besides Link is a man. Not any man. He saved Hyule! And he will be daddy.

Ezzaria26 Glad you liked it. As for my incompetence with words, ehhh how to say. Even in my mother tongue (German) I´m not a word-goddess, on the contrary: I suck at German. Really, it´s my worst subject in school! So I´m not great with English words either. (I have to look up like every fifth word!) A beta-reader would be nice, but unfortunately I don´t know how to get one... Perhaps I should just ask^^

!

I need a beta-reader! Is there someone?

!

Cazu Yeah... Thanks for the support! And as you see here is more! Tadaaa!

Insane. certifiably I loved that part, too! Hmm. Is there going another mirror? No, there won´t be a mirror, but perhaps another connection? Who knows? How Link will find out? The question is: Will Link ever find out? When there´s no mirror. I´ll tell you: It´s a secret. Sorry, but I can´t tell. I may be bad at keeping secrets, but this is something you have to find out with the other readers! Just be patient.

Chapter 5 Resolve

"There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul."

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

I was pregnant. I thought. I really was pregnant.

After the shock had passed I sprinted to the library. I read every book there was on pregnancy in a little bit more than two hours. Amazing feat, right? Okay there weren't that many on pregnancy as the library consisted mostly of historical and political documents, magic instructions and religious texts. Most of them focused on the three goddesses: Din, Nayru und Farore since they banished us from the light world.
The goddesses were a delicate issue. Twili despised the goddesses, because they hated us and played favourites with us and the Hyulians, but when you despised something you couldn't deny its existence. So Twili hadn't other gods as the Hyrulians. We knew that our gods didn't want us and blamed us for our ancestors mistakes. Some Twili longed for gods that loved us and created their own gods. But they didn't catch on, because deep inside everyone of us knew there were already three goddesses and they wouldn't allow other deities other than themselves. So Twili continued despising the goddesses, but I thought they only wanted them to acknowledge us and receive their blessing once again.

But back to the topic at hand. I was pregnant and everything I read about pregnancy matched my condition. Every tiny little detail. But I still couldn't believe it. All of it sounded much more like a fairy tale. A story you told little children as bedtime story, but it didn't seem like reality. It was all too much of a coincedence. Seriously, this was stuff for a fairy tale:

"Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess. She had everything she could wish for: jewels, a big castle, a population that loved her and servants that lipread all her wishes. But the princess wasn't satisfied, she felt lonely, although she wouldn't admit that. So she lived the more or less happy life of a princess, until a dark sorcerer cursed her and took her kingdom.
The princess, now in the form of an ugly imp, fled and found a being that was only mentioned in legends: The sacred beast. It was said that one day when the kingdom needed it most, it would rise and save the kingdom from evil. Together the princess and the beast lived through many hardships and eventually defeated the evil. As the evil magic disappeared the princess recovered her beauty and the beast fell in love with her. They loved each other so much that the princess soon had a child. And they lived happily even after."

But this was reality and there wasn't a happy end. I thought depressed. If life was fairy tale, everything would be wonderful. But life was a bitch: The princess couldn't see her beast again, and the beast wouldn't even know of his own child.

But that wasn't the worst aspect of my pregnancy. I knew the Twili and they wouldn't accept an offspring of a light-dweller. Even when this child was the child of their princess, no they would hat it especially when this child was the next in line for the throne. Twili hated the light-dwellers, they were jelous. Hyrilians had everything Twili could only wish for: the sun, good food, a colourful world and most important the blessing of the goddesses.

Hyrulians had goddesses they could worship, but Twili had goddesses they could only hate.

It was logical that they wouldn't want a reminder living with them much less be their ruler someday. My baby would have the blessings of the goddesses. Its father was bearer of the triforce. The Council would probably murder my child just after its first breath. They would keep my pregnancy secret and... murder it in cold blood. I would have to accept this because it was my duty. My duty as princess.

This thought killed me inside. My own baby would be killed. Its destiny was definte. Such an innocent being would be killed. I couldn't let that happen. I had always wanted a child, although the aspect of pregnancy wasn't appealing, I wanted to be a mum. I wanted to have a child I could call my own and see it growing up. I longed to hold the baby in my arms, feel the warmth it would radiate and hear his soft breath. Everything in me screamed I couldn't let my child die.

But a small voice whispered And your duties as princess? You are the princess of the Twilight and have no right to choose your child's destiny. It's the same when you destroyed the mirror. You didn't want to do it, but in the end you did it. For the sake of your people. Do it again.

You may be right. I answered. My duties as a princess wouldn't allow me to have my baby...

"But right now my duties lie elsewhere. I may have duties to my people, as a princess, but right now I have a more important duty to my child, as a mother."

Because you liked Link PoV so much I even did another one!

"So I took my claw shots and with their help I was able to climb the pillars quickly. When I reached the top the dragon was right in front of me. His breath reeked as if it hadn't brushed its teeth for ages. Then I connected my claw-shot with its tail. I hung there forty feet above the ground, but the dragon wouldn't fall down. I wasn't heavy enough." I paused and looked straight into the widen eyes of the children that had seated themselves in a semi-circle around me.

As they registered I paused Talo asked eager to know what happend next. "And then?"

I smiled. "What would you have done?" I asked everyone.

Of course Talo was the first to answer. "I would have shot it with my bow and then..."

"But Talo." Colin interrupted quietly. "To shot an arrow you need both of your hands and Link needed one hand to hold on at least one claw-shot."

"Baka." Beth whispered. "You made yourself somehow heavier to drag it down to the ground, right Link?"

"Yes, Beth I did good thinking there. Does anyone know how?"

This left the three children pondering.

"Oh I know!" A voice behind me shouted.

I turned abruptly around. "Ilia! Since when have you been eavesdropping?"

"Oh. Only since you faced the dragon heroic and fearless on top of the forty feet pillar." Ilia giggled and sat down between Talo and Beth.

"So what did Link do, Ilia?" Talo asked impatiently.

"Easy. He used the Iron Boots he got from dad."

"But Ilia, how would that make him heavier, as he already had them with him?" Colin asked, always thinking logically.

"Yeah. Right." Beth said agreeing with Colin. "So how did you do it, Link?"

I was left blinking. "Ehh. Ilia was right."

"What?" The four of them screamed. "How is that possible?"

"You see I had this magical bag where you could put anything in, but never feel the weight."

"Can we see it?" Beth begged.

"Yeah. Here." I showed her the little bag and from within I took the spiked mace.

"Whoa! That's so cool! Where did you get it?" Talo began jumping up and down from excitement.

Sighing I put the spice mace back. "I got it from the princess." It wasn't a lie. Since Midna was a princess.

"Really?" Beth and Ilia asked together.

I just nodded. Inward I cursed. I still couldn't tell them about her. It hurt to even think about her and I was afraid, that they wouldn't accept Midna, because she was from Twilight. And I feared Ilia's reaction. She still liked me, but I couldn't return her affections. I loved Midna and nothing could change that. I feared I would lose Ilia as my best friend and I honestly couldn't bear that. I already lost my love and if I lose my best friend... I don't know what I would do, without any purpose to live.

Ilia saw that I felt uncomfortable and stepped in. "Kids. It's time for you to go home. The sun will set soon."

"But Ilia!"

"We wanna hear how Link defeated the dragon."

"Yeah."

"He defeated it. Isn't that enough? It doesn't matter how. Now you better be home before twilight, or your parents will be angry."

Defeated the children made their way back home.

"We should go, too. It's getting dark." Ilia said to me as she held a hand out for me.

"No. I want to sit here for a while. I'll go after twilight." I declined.

Ilia was a little hurt, but seemed to be alright. "Okay. If you want to be alone I won't be in your way. See you tomorrow!" Then she jogged after the children.

I sat on the field with Epona grazing behind me and watched the sky turn into the colours of her hair and eyes.

"Tell me... Do you ever feel a strange feeling as dusk falls? They say it's the only time when our world intersects with theirs... The only time we can feel the lingering regrets of spirits who have left our world. That's why loneliness always pervades at the hour of twilight. I recalled Rusl telling me at the Spirit's Spring before Twilight invaded.

"Midna. I miss you." I whispered into the sky.

Tehehe. Thanks for reading!

Ah. Yeah. I wanna ask again:

Is there a beta-reader interested in beta-reading this story?

See you later!
