[Name] and Hena continued chatting away until they both felt something rise in the atmosphere. It was as if a heavy mist had been lifted, and the air was much more breathable.

The {h|c}-haired female raised her head, the difference in ambiance providing much more discomfort for her than for the fisherman.

"What..?"

Suddenly a fluorescent beam shone through her satchel, and the shards she kept stashed in there transformed. The large, jagged metal sword tore through her bag, and she had to be quick to grab its handle and tilt it away from her leg as to avoid skewering herself.

Hena stared, appalled, at the sight of the weapon which could deal an easily lethal slice with one swift flick of the wielder's wrist.

"...Whoa..." She took a step back, and [Name] cautiously slid the blade out of her tarnished pouch.

"Agh, frickity frack..!" The delivery girl's eyes glowered at the sword, believing Ghirahim to have done that on purpose. The satchel was a gift given to her by one of her more wealthy friends (it was probably worth more than the rupees she kept inside).

It was then that both girls heard the door open and shut, and [Name] immediately flung the weapon on the other side of the counter. Hena jumped over the tabletop as well and covered it with nearby blankets.

Link was the one who entered the fisherman's cabin, and smiled politely at the owner. She blew a strand of hair out of her face, and both women offered the most unsuspicious grins they could muster.

"Hi! Welcome to the Fishing Hole! Would you like to rent a canoe?" Hena's voice grew elevated and powerful as she transitioned to her retailing guise.

"Actually... Could I chat with you?" Link turned to [Name]. She sent him a suspicious, yet curious glance, before nodding. The green-clad Hylian coughed. "I'm Link." He stuck his hand out.

"[Name]."

"That sword - you said it could turn into someone?"

Even more suspicious. "...Yes."

"Would you mind showing it to me?"

[Name] studied the male's features. His eyes were narrow yet deep; like an ocean, they held mystery and a forceful, albeit kind gaze. His hair was a gentle sweep of sandy blonde strands, and his bisque skin was flawed with gashes and abrasions as proof of his heroic deeds.

Her eyes flicked over to the sword resting on Link's back.

"You want to buy it?" She asked, in reference to Ghirahim's blade, assuming the Hylian to be a sword collector.

"No," the male assured. "Unless it's up for sale?"

"No," said [Name], as she motioned for Hena to bring out the evil Hylian-degrading flamboyant slicer demon lord Ghirahim. The fisherman struggled to lift it, not wanting to accidentally stab herself, but also trying to appear cool and collected in front of Link - whom she has already set her eyes on to date.


It was then, after the sword came into view, that a high-pitched gasp could be heard. An imp-like creature's silhouette surfaced from Link's shadow. The Hylian boy seemed surprised that Midna showed herself in front of others, but the Twili woman couldn't care less.

"...Ghirahim," she muttered, floating towards the counter upon which the sword laid.

She then snapped her head in [Name]'s direction, her one visible eye narrowed. She grabbed the female's shoulders.

"Where did you get that?!"

[Name]'s lashes swept up as her eyes widened, and she held up both hands in defense. She didn't expect a shadow to be capable of physical contact, much less of such strength..! She tried offering a reassuring smile, but Midna's fury didn't waver.

"Hyrule Field, in Upper Eldin," she answered honestly, and the silhouette sighed. She released the Hylian girl, then floated back to Link's side.

"Do you have any idea how dangerous Ghirahim is?"

[Name] huffed, smoothing out the creases in her sleeves. "I've only seen him engage in swordplay."

Midna's eye shut. "I... recommend you hand him over to us, so he can be kept under Princess Zelda's watch."

"Huh?" [Name] asked, her tone laced with slight disappointment. She wanted to ease her immense curiosity on the Demon Lord, but also knew he did attempt to kill her when they first met. She creased her eyebrows, contemplating both options. Finally she grabbed the sword and held it out to Link.

"If I hand this over," she arbitrated, "will you tell me about him?"

Midna glanced downward. "Fine."

Link took the sword and tucked it away on his back. However, as he did so, both blades emitted a blinding glow, and transformed into not one, but two figures.

Although Midna grew apprehensive, she masked it with a solemn semblance. The three Hyruleans jumped back in surprise upon seeing the two sword spirits. Although [Name] was undoubtedly irritated to see Ghirahim's face again, she couldn't suppress her eagerness for wanting to meet the newcomer.

And, breaking the silence that befell the cabin, the foreign spirit spoke:

"It's nice to finally meet you... Master."
