One Shadow

[Cambot rounds a corner and comes upon a small black and white imp who is running her hands all over herself as if to be sure that everything is there. She's breathing a bit fast as she looks around wildly.]

Link? Zelda? Where did he send me?

[Receiving no answers from the walls, Midna focuses on Cambot, scowling.]

Hey, you, what sort of place is this?

You can't be Link. You're way too young! Maybe in another seven years.

[ocarinahero.livejournal.com]

I am Link!

[Midna is thoroughly annoyed and baffled.]

What, from the past?

[ocarinahero.livejournal.com]

Yes. From the past.

[That...makes a terrible amount of somewhat confusing sense. She's going to get a headache if she thinks about it for too long.]

Oh. We're going to meet in your future, then. You, and me, and Princess Zelda.

[ocarinahero.livejournal.com]

...I never met you in the future. I would remember someone like you.

[solmidna.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's further in your future. We got to be friends.

[Midna looks wistful and somewhat crushed.]

[ocarinahero.livejournal.com]

Maybe...

But, wait, you mentioned Ganon. Ganon... comes back?

They tried to execute him, but he escaped and so they had to banish him to another realm. My realm. It worked, for a while, but he worked with one of my people and managed to get back to Hyrule. Or from your perspective, I guess he will, someday.

[Link doesn't say anything, he just looks shocked]

[Midna looks guilty, glancing away from Link, then reaches out to pat his shoulder.]

It's better now. I'm sure that even though I'm here, you and Princess Zelda will be able to finish things for good. And even though you've had troubles, your friends are all okay.
