After we got the master sword, we got back home because we didn´t know what to do.

We only hung out for 2 days, until I got an interesting letter.

It was from Thelma.

She wanted me to come to her tavern because she wanted me to meet some people.

Midna:,,Who could we possible meet?´´

Nanami:,,I don´t know...maybe she got information about Onee-sama!´´

I still had to save her...

Midna:,,Well, then we should go!´´

I nodded and went to that train station.

Sometime, I randomly asked myself why I wasn´t traveling with the train and rather travel with Sora when I didn´t have that much time.

Sora needed a break, anyway.

The train ride took only a few hours until I got to the tavern.

But before I got in, Midna returned from my shadow.

Midna:,,Before we go in there...I have to talk with you. I think it´s time for me to explain a few things for you.´´

Midna suddenly seemed sad, angry and depressed.

Midna:,,The Mirror of Twilight is our next target. It will help us to get to Zant.´´

Now, she looked at me as if she was apologizing.

Midna:,,Back when I was in the Twilight Realm, my home, everything was peaceful. It was another world entirely. The antithesis of this world, where the sun shines bright. Eventually, most came to call it the Twilight Realm, and from it, none could return to the world of light. Until Zant came. He just came at me and used some curse on me so that I transformed into the form i´m in now.´´

Nanami:(So she doesn´t really look like that?)

Midna:,,He said that this curse cannot be broken, that this magic was placed on me by the magic of his god.´´

Nanami:,,His god?´´

Midna:,,He said the my power would never return...but I don´t believe that. I got into your world, found you and just watched as you were turned into a wolf. I saw it as a chance to use you for my own goods. I didn´t even care about the world of light, not at all. Bit after I witnessed the selfless lenghts that Hikari and you have gone to...Your sacrificies...I now know, in the bottom of my heart, that I must save this world, too. There is no other way.´´

Nanami:,,Midna...wh...-´´

Midna:,,What do you think happened to the magic wielders who tried to rule the Sacred Realm? They were banished! They were chased across the sacred lands of Hyrule thosands of years ago and driven into another realm by the goddesses. Do you now understand what I am? I´m a descendant of the tribe that was banished into the Twilight Realm!´´

I believed every word she said,
Everything was just horrible for her.

Midna:,,Hey, but listen, Nanami. I´ve got a little favor to ask. Would you mind coming with me to find the Mirror of Twilight? It´s somewhere hidden in Japan. Our last potential link to Zant!´´

I just wanted to answer, but she talked more.

Midna:,,Do you mind if I could...be your shadow for another while?´´

When she asked that, it was finally time to give her a big hug.

Good that it actually worked to hug her, but she seemed stunned.

Nanami:,,Midna, you helped me through a lot. If you weren´t here with me, I could´ve never be where I am now. Thank you for that. So, of course I will help you. To the end.´´

She didn´t answer me, she just hugged me back.

But I could feel her smile.

Midna:,,...Well, then let´s keep going. You have some people to meet, right?´´

She was obviously flustered.

I just laughed and made my way to the tavern.

When I got in, Thelma greeted me warmly with a hug.

Thelma:,,Dear, it´s so good to see you again!´´

Nanami:,,You too. So, you wanted to speak with me?´´

Thelma:,,Yes, I heard what happened so far and met a group of people that could help you with your mission. They are working on the same task as you, just not as physically as you.´´

I laughed a little and went to the group that sat on a table, looking at a map.

Nanami:,,Um...hello?´´

The three persons turned to me and most of them smiled.

A boy with light brown hair and glasses talked to me first, but he seemed nervous.

?:,,Hello, you must be Nanami. My name is Shad. Let me introduce the others as well.´´

First, he pointed to the woman that was clad in an armor.

Black hair, brown eyes and a harsh look.

Shad:,,This is Ashei.´´

Ashei:,,It´s nice to meet you.´´

I bowed back and looked to the next one.

He was just standing there and looked at me, not saying anything.

He was alsy clad in an armor, but lighter and his face was covered.

Shad:,,This is Rusl. He comes from a village and helps us wih our researches.´´

We both nodded to each other.

Shad:,,We have a fourth member, but he is somewhere here in Tohoku, searching for a way to come to the hidden desert in Japan.´´

Nanami:,,Desert?´´

Shad:,,You ever noticed the giant canyon that formed itself here in Tohaku?´´

In Tohaku was a giant canyon for thousands of years and no one ever got the chance to look at it.

The area where it was got shut off.

So there had to be what we find?

Shad:,,You are looking for a way to stop Zant, right? We know where you could meet him. Deep in the desert should be an old deserted temple. Rumors say that there´s a way to the shadow world.´´

Midna suddenly whispered to me.

Midna:,,I know this temple. The Mirror of Twilight has to be in there.´´

I nodded and continued to hear what Shad had to say.

Shad:,,As I already said, our forth member is searching for a way to it. His name is Auru, you should meet him and maybe help him. He should be somewhere in the east from here. Good luck.´´

Nanami:,,Thank you so much for helping me. I would have never found a clue without you.´´

He got red and talked it off as I made my way outside.

Midna:,,So we have to go there? I completly forgot that this temple existed and that the Mirror of Twilight was in there.´´

Nanami:,,So another temple? Great.´´

Midna smirked and patted my shoulders.

Midna:,,Nothing we can´t do.´´

I smirked back and began my search for Auru.

My only idea was to go to the canyon and to hopefully find him somewhere.

After walking a bit, I saw a man watching the shut off canyon.

Behind the canyon were giant sand mountains, so no wonder everyone thought that there would be a desert.

Nanami:,,Excuse me?´´

The man turned to us and smiled.

?:,,You must be Nanami. I´m Auru.´´

Nanami:,,Nice to meet you. We heard that you may know how to get to the canyon.´´

Auru:,,That´s true. The only thing I can think of is catapult you over the canyon and hope that you land safely.´´

Nanami:,,...Well, where could we possibly get a canon from?´´

Auru:,,Wait, you would actually do that?´´

Nanami:,,Of course. If it brings me to the desert, I´m trying everything I can.´´

Auru:,,...Hahaha, you are very brave, young girl.´´

Nanami:,,Believe me, I wasn´t before all that started.´´

He nodded and thought for a while.

Auru:,,A canon...not an easy thing to get. But it´s good that I know people.´´

Now I was interested.

Auru:,,Do you know the name Matsubara?´´

God dammit, again?!
