Midna BE Story

OK, now a piece featuring Midna and Link. And Ilia, but not that much yet.

'' The situation was becoming more and more awkward. Ilia opened her mouth to say something, but closed it again. After some time, she broke the silence. ‘‘ So... and, who are you?’’, she asked Midna. ‘‘ ... I’m Midna.’’, Midna answered. Link nervously looked back at the cloud above the Eldin Bridge- it would definately hit the ground within a few hours- they had better forget their planned rest. Midna noticed it, and decided she had to act quickly. ‘‘ Look, Ilia, we must hurry. Take that diamond, and hide it. Let no one touch it!’’, she said.

‘‘ We will be back to explain more- I’ll say it again, never let anyone touch that diamond!’’, she added, seeing Ilia’s confusion. With the help of Link’s poor back, Midna and Link got on Epona and rode away, leaving Ilia, still rather confused. She picked up the diamond, and walked back in the direction of the village. Link noticed Epona was tired- she had been carrying a heavy load back and forth all day. He felt bad for Epona. Epona herself was a very intelligent horse, and understood what this quest was about- so she did not complain.

Through the Faron Woods they went once more, and over the Hyrule Field. The moon could be seen, vaguely hanging in the darkening sky. The cloud hung low above the Eldin Bridge, like a darker spot in the sky. They caught glimpses of monsters and animals, but rode past them quickly. So it happened that the ruins around the Eldin Bridge came into view- and they lost view of the cloud. In a short but nervous time, they stopped in front of the large bridge. ‘‘ Link, the last time I saw the cloud it was certainly right above the Eldin Bridge.’’, said Midna.

Link jumped off Epona, and grabbed his sword. ‘‘ What is it? ’’, asked Midna. Link pointed ahead in the darkness. On the center of the bridge stood a dark figure, almost invisible in the surrounding darkness. Midna saw it too. ‘‘ What should we do? Maybe this person know where the curse has gone.’’, Midna said. Link had a very bad feeling about this- what would an innocent traveller be doing on his own, on a bridge? He wielded his Bomb Arrows, and walked on the stone bridge, closer to the shadow.

‘‘ Hello? Sir?’’, Midna called in the darkness. ‘‘ Have you seen any clouds landing around here?’’ The figure did not make a move, but in the darkness, they heard a growling. Link had a Bomb Arrow on the string, when suddenly the dark figure jumped- higher than any creature Link had seen. Link could see his jump was aimed for Midna- he quickly reacted and aimed for the sky- as soon as the dark figure moved past the moon he aimed and released his arrow. A quick explosion announced Link had his goal.

The dark figure fell down right before Midna- even this close, the figure seemed just a shadow. It snarled, and pieces of shadow seemed to fall from it. Midna stepped backwards, as the creature started walking at her very slowly. Link wielded another bomb arrow and shot it at the beast. It was blasted to pieces of smoke that vanished when they hit the ground. ‘‘ Link, do you think... do you think that that... thing... was the curse?’’, Midna asked. Link nodded. ‘‘ If the curse can take such forms, that is very dangerous...!’’, Midna said.

There was no more business to deal with on the Eldin Bridge, so Link and Midna went back to Epona. Epona had one last exhausting trip, back over the Hyrule Field through the Eldin Forest. It was past midnight when at last they were back at Link’s house. ‘‘ I think that Ilia will have already noticed something of the curse tomorrow- but we better not wake her up. Let’s just hope that Ilia hid that cursed diamond well. At least no one else has been cursed... I can feel it.’’, Midna said.

Link nodded- but he feared for Ilia and he felt bad that she’d been cursed. They had stopped a few parts, but the curse now had power of Ilia and girls in another dimension. Link wondered how to solve this problem.''
