Departue And The Change.

Link sighed sadly, he was completely alone. His adventures across Hyrule with Midna had been fun and he had gotten a true friend, a friend that rescued him from the Twilight monsters when he got captured.

But after his battle against Ganondorf, Midna left him to return to her place in the world.

He knew what she did was right, she was the Twilight princess after all and her people needed a good leader. But why did she have to break that mirror?

When he returned to Ordon village after that, Link knew that there wasn't anyone to talk to about his friend. They wouldn't understand.

If he had been able, he would have talked to Princess Zelda... but he was nothing but a commoner nowadays, his short time as a hero was over.

Perhaps it was his destiny as the chosen of the goddesses to be alone, with no one else to turn to besides himself.

And now here he was, packing the things he was going to need on his trip to a new home. Hopefully a place where he could find what he was looking for, even though he didn't know what he was looking for.

The Master Sword had been retrieved from its place in the Sacred Grove earlier and was sheathed in its scabbard.

Link looked at his two shields, the Ordon and the Hylian shields were going to be given to Rusl and Colin.

He didn't want to have shields with him for two reasons: 1, he was sick using his left hand for the sword as he was right handed and 2, a shield would only be in his way.

Link put on his tunic, boots and a recently bought black traveling cloak, grabbed the bag with his items and headed out into the cold, rainy night.

The hood of the cloak was put up to cover his face, protecting his face from the rain and camoflauging quite well in the darkness of this autumn night.

He walked over to his dark brown stallion and fastened his bag to the sadle.

Ilia had refused to let him use Epona so Link had gotten this stallion instead, a present from the mayor. The stallion had gotten the name 'Ordana' because it had been born in Ordan's spring.

"Let's go!" Link said and smacked his heels into Ordana's side, causing the horse to whine and gallop into the darkness.

Unknown to both Link and Ordana, someone followed them. And this someone was none other then the ghost of Zant.

Link had just passed Faron's spring when a bright red light suddenly appeared and hit Ordana and the stallion fell to the ground, obviously dead.

The hero was lying shocked on the ground, aware that something drew closer and closer and closer to him.

"Good evening, young hero!" Zant spoke and Link got to his feet.

"Who are you?" He asked as he drew his sword.

Zant chuckled and his helm disappeared, revealing the Twili's snake like face. Link got into a fighting position immediately.

"What do you want, Zant? I have nothing of value for you, so can't a sad man be left alone?" Wondered the hero.

"Have you forgotten that it was you who defeated me, not Midna... she just killed me when I was weak and unable to protect myself! I am not going to kill you, Link, if that's what you think. I came here to talk, as you probably have no one else to turn to out here in the woods." Zant's words made Link lower his sword a bit, but he was prepared.

"Since you are a ghost you must have something unfinished in the world of the living, am I right?"

Zant nodded with a smirk.

"Of course I have, did you think I wanted to talk to you for fun? Well, I'll get to the reason to why I am here. Since Midna was the one who killed me, I've decided to return to the world of the living for revenge, and I need you to tell me where I can find her!" Zant explained and Link put his sword to the ghost's throat.

"You have to choices, either you help me or I'll turn you into something that would most defenitely make you alone!" Link ignored him and pulled back his sword to get more power into his blow.

But that's when Zant saw his chance and before Link's sword fell, Zant dodged and shot a purple beam at Link.

The hero had no time to dodge and fell to his knees and dropped the sword. He couldn't move.

"Maybe you will tell me now, foolish hero?" Zant asked.

"Never in my whole goddess forsaken life, I rather be turned into a beast than betray a friend!" Link spat, Zant raised his hand and a deep red ball of light began to grow in his palm.

"I am amazed by your loyalty, Link... because of you I must return to the dead without getting my revenge, farewell!" He said before he released the ball and disappeared.

Link screamed as the ball crashed into him, and his body began to grow and get fur.

Hands were turned into claws and feet became paws. The head turned into a wolf's and teeth's sharpened inside the mouth of Link. And then a furry tail appeared just above his behind.

With a terrifying howl, the transformation became complete and Link was released from his pain.

"What's happened to me!?" Link exclaimed with a voice like a growl.

Link looked at himself and realised that he was neither a wolf or a man.

He was both.

AN: Reviews would be appreciated, as it good for me to get explanations on what I wrote well, what I should write more or less about and which I wrote bad.
