Visions of Twilight

Chapter 19

"Are you okay?" Saria asked me, seeing my state, as the others looked at me worried, having been woken up by me, except Navi who just ignored us.

I ignored her, and looked to Ember.

"Ember, can you ask Midna if she is a Princess?" I said as she did so, curious but knowing I would have my reasons.

"H-how did you know?" Midna stuttered, as I sighed and had Ember translate my dream.

Saria and Linkette cuddled up with me, while Midna fell down in shock,

"You're Ruby's daughter?" Midna whispered in shock, "I remember Ruby, she was my favorite aunt. She had a daughter a couple years younger than me I would call Lu-Lu. Though she was too young to respond. I always thought of her as Lu-Lu. I never realized it was short for Luna."

She then hugged me close, bringing the others as well, with how close we are and our small sizes. "Me and mama were distraught when you and Aunt Ruby disappeared. I trained with the Darklight Mirror, so I could one day find and protect you, I wasn't expecting this though."

Eventually we calmed down, then had to do it again when Linkette explained how she was related to her Princess Zelda, and Midna explained what had happened in the Twilight Realm. We then woke up Navi, and left back to the forest.

"Hurry up!" Navi said with new focus, deciding that if Zelda was gone, she would focus even more on the quest, and returning us to normal, since that was Zelda's last words before sacrificing herself for Midna, who she still did not forgive for that. After all, she believed deeply in destiny and leadership, which as bearer of the Triforce of Wisdom, Zelda had, and thus had a slight crush on all Zeldas.

We just rolled our eyes and warped to Faron Woods and headed near the Forest Temple for a starting point when we saw the female monkey surrounded by wooden puppets. I was about to attack them, when a Golden Wolf got there first.

"Thank you!" the monkey said before leaving as the wolf turned to us.

"I have been waiting for you to arrive in your human form," the wolf said. "Yet, not only have you never arrived, but you have even gotten younger. Why is that?"

"The aging thing is my fault," Saria said, "I was not used to using magic in animal form, and lost control of the healing magic, deaging her."

I sighed before answering, "I snuck past using my magic when I saw you. Something told me that if I faced you, I would lose. Badly."

"So you are a lucky coward," the wolf sighed as we growled at that, "you saw someone you could not beat directly, and avoided it entirely, instead of searching for another way. That makes you a coward. And you are lucky because losing control of magic can do far worse than simply de-aging. It could have reversed the healing, until the injuries you were trying to heal killed you instead.

"So you were scared," the wolf sighed, "still that can be fixed. I do not trust magic, but I do know how to train it for animal bodies. So i will do that so this does not happen again. What magic do you three have?"

"I have Forest Magic, and minor healing," Saria said.

"That can be very useful," the wolf said, "but only if you can control it. Otherwise it can be deadly."

"I have shrinking magic," Linkette responded.

"That is even more dangerous if misused," the wolf sighed.

"I have Twilight Magic," I said.

"I do not trust Twilight Magic, not with the current troubles." The wolf said before sighing. "But any magic must be trained."

With that he trained us in not only magic, where Saria could make plants burst from the ground and attack, and heal safely, Linkette learned how to shrink her enemies, I learned how to gather Twilight Energy in front of me, and shoot it, or use the shadows as a shield, and we all learned how to fight as animals.

"You are too young now for my lessons in swordsmanship," the wolf said, "but when you find a way back to both your proper age and human come and seek me out, and I will train you in swordsmanship, it will help you far more then magic. For now, head beyond this cliff to the sacred grove."

With that we continue on as Midna carried us pass the cliffs with her hair, and floating before we entered the Sacred Grove, and howled along with the howling stone marked by the Triforce. This caused a Skull Kid to drop down, and blow a trumpet as more of those puppets appeared, and came to attack us.

"STOP!" a voice said as a young girl that looked like a fusion of Kokiri and Twili, followed by a fairy that was sky-blue with navy blue low-lights.

"These three are not me," she told Skull Kid. "Not yet. And they are on an important quest. Let them through."

"Very well," the Skull Kid said as he opened the way through and left.

"Sorry about that!" she said, "this is one of my fairies, Kone. The other is busy. You will learn my name later. Good luck on your quest. Oh, and until you age, Midna can carry the Master Sword in her magic. You will need it in the future, before you are old enough to wield it."

We just nodded our heads, knowing she could not understand us. When my sensitive hearing heard her say "I better get ready, it will be soon."

Looking back I saw her change into a cat with wolf ears, a fox tail, and silky fur before leaving. Shaking my head thinking I was hallucinating, I just continued on after the others.
