Legend of the Naryu: Shards of Twilight

Prologue

"Your sure you want to do this? There wont be anyway to return here, at least, not anytime soon" asked Bast, standing beside the rift.

"No.. there is nothing for me here....not now" replys link. His heart was still aching, he closed his eyes as the vivd memory of his last moments in the mirror chamber came to him.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Link… I… I…"

Link looked up at her curiously. Tears were falling down her beautiful blue skin as her body began the warping process . Link could only stare as he suddenly realized what she was about to do.

"No! Midna no!" he screamed as he flew up the stairs as fast as he could, his hand were reaching for the last bits of her. He caught nothing but air as he smashed hard into the staircase. Tears where streaming down his face as the last bits of her dissolved into the mirror.

"Good bye" was the last thing that came from the mirror, before it shattered into fine dust.

Links arms fell limp to his sides. He could only stare at the place were his love once was.

Link didnt even hear Zelda's footsteps as she came over to him. He barely felt Zelda's hand on his shoulder. Why...why would she do this to me he thought. A small voice in his mind told him it was for the greater good. If she hadn't shattered the mirror then evil might once again try to destroy Hyrule. He knew that his mind was right. But i never even got to tell her i loved her.

Sensing his distress she removed her hand and walked away. Turning one last time to look at Link. He was in ruin and she knew he would take along time to get over what just happened, if he ever did. Still she hoped, silently, that the public's praises would help to distract him. It was going to be a very long month for Link.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A month had passed since Ganondorf had been defeated and also a month since she left. The first few days in Ordon village were joyful; the constant prasies and meals in thanks helped to distract him. But a gripping pain began to take hold. The distraction soon proved to weak to keep the pain away.

The month that followed was a long one. All because he promised Midna that he would keep her a secret to everyone. Save Zelda, who she had been merged with for a time, but he didnt have the heart to talk to her about his pain, She had her own problems to deal with. She didnt need his as well. So he had no one he could share his sorrow with, no one to help ease his pain. If he did then the truth of Midna would come out. And that wasn't a secret he was ready to tell. The pain began to take its toll, it was more crippling then any of the wounds he had ever received. This was a wound that even time couldn't heal. Link began to wonder if Midna ever existed. That wonder grew more and more each day. As a result the pain slowly stripped away the Hero of Twilight. Leaving only Link, a lowly farmhand turned hermit.

The people of Ordon village quickly caught on to his depression. Prior to his adventure he had been a very outgoing person, always lending a hand around town and at the ranch. Now they rarely saw him outside of his house, and when they did hes was polite but rarely spoke a word. He even stopped working up at the ranch. What none of them could understand was why the grand hero was so down, afterall he had finally rid the world of Ganondorf. They all tried to talk to him about it, but he wouldnt answer them. So the people of Ordon village soon forgot about the Hero of Twilight, only remembering that a hermit lived just on the outskirts of town

One night near the end of the month Ilia, who was fed up with Link avoiding her, came to see him. She saw him sitting proped up against the side of his hut. Looking up at the moon.

"Link."

He slowly turned his head up to look at her. his eyes were shimmering in the moonlight. He was crying.

"Link whats wrong? You know you can talk to me about anything right?" Immediately worried Ilia bend down beside him and put her hand on his shoulder. Her hand was rubbing his shoulder in a soothing manner.

Link got up so fast that the sudden movement startled her. "Im fine, I just want to be left alone" he said in a cold and harsh tone, as he wiped the tears from his eyes.

His words hurt Ilia. Link had never been this harsh with her before, she didn't understand. Tears started to form in her eyes. "I...I...I don't understand" her voice was small and full of hurt

"Im sorry Ilia, but this is the way it has to be now, We cant be friends anymore." he replies with his head locked up facing the moon.

Ilia couldnt hold back the tears any longer. They flowed down her face. "Why not Link? What happened to you?" she asked hurt and crying

Link turned and faced her. "It's just better this way, Im sorry Ilia. You should go" with that he turned his back to to her, and looked back up at the moon.

Tears were flowing from her eyes like a river. "Fine..Just remember this then; Memory's can save your life, as well as they can end it. And if you ever see my old friend again tell him i miss him." With that she ran off. Probably being the last time he would ever see her.

Shes right... I'm not Link anymore..but who am i then?.. i have become the monster now? After all these years.. am i the thing to fear?. He thought, in all truth he didn't know who he was anymore. As he stood looking up at the moon, he longed for death. All he wanted now was for the pain to end.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Early the next morning Link locked his house, climbing quickly down the ladder as he reached the bottom, a rough voice rang out from his left.

"Are you the one called Link?"

The once hero of twilight turned around and thinking he would find some villager, come to give him praises. But instead he found a strange man in a grey cloak standing before him

"I am Link. But was there something you needed?" He was suddenly on guard, there was something not right with the man

"As a matter of fact there is. What would you say if i told you i knew a way for you to see Midna again, if you would but hear me out." The look of shock on Link's face made him laugh. Maybe this will be easier then I thought.

Link couldn't speak. That name...I know that name. Midna, my Midna. She exists! The thought wracked his brain. Until now he had given up all hope of seeing her again, but at this strangers sudden question, He felt the chains of his grief and sorrow fall off him.

"So will you hear me out? Hero of Legend." Asked the man.

"All do what is needed of me" Link smiled. He had forgotten what it felt like to smile. He grabed his sword and shield, Which were proped up against the wall of his hut and strapped them to his back. The sudden life he felt was amazing. The Hero of Twilight lives once more.

"Perfect, then let us be on our way. By the way my name is Bast."

Link shook Bast's hand. Just as the two were about to walk away. Another voice stopped him.

"Where you going link?"

Link didn't need to turn around to know who it was. "I'm leaving to find myself Rusl. And to get back what was taken from me." Link turned his head slightly.

"I hope you find what your looking for. Ilia told me what you said to her.. well I guess this is good bye then" Rusl replied.

"It is. Good bye my friend" and with that Link and Bast walked off into the day.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later that night Link and Bast had stopped in a small clearing in the forest. The events of earlier today still stuck in Links mind.

"So since you have already agreed, I should probably tell you what it is we need you to do" He said, gazing through the fire at Link. He removed a few peculiar purple stones from his pocket and placed them on the ground. The were glowing slightly.

Link had been wondering what Bast wanted right from the moment he agreed. Without even hearing what it was he was needed to do. Link hoped he wasn't going to regret that choice. But if it means i would get to see Midna again,it couldn't really be that bad..could it? He asks himself.

"Before i tell you what we need, I feel i should explain just who exactly i am. To be honest Link I am not from your realm. I am one of the Naryu" Bast smiled as he waited for the incoming barrage of questions.

"The Naryu? Who are they? Are you from Twilight? Do you know how fix the mirror?" asked Link wildly as he shot to his feet. He had never heard of that name before. Were they from Twilight? Maybe they can rebuild the mirror! If they could.. then i could see Midna again! Links mind raced over the possibility. Link quickly realized that he was getting out of hand and quietly sat back down. Turning almost as red as a hear container

Bast quietly laughed "The Naryu are a race of beings that have learned how travel the many different realms of the universe. And no we are not from the Twilight realm, but yes we do know how to fix the mirror" He happily replied. "Would you care to hear the tale of the Naryu?" Bast asked, he already knew Link's answer but he asked anyways.

"Come on.. just tell me" Link replied, hardly able to contain his enthusiasm.

Bast started laughing again. "A great many years ago, we the Naryu learned that there were a great many realms, hidden from normal sight. At the time we were at the golden age of technology, it allowed us to open rifts or portals, into many of the realms we enountered. Your realm was our first discovery. But it wasn't the realm of light we found."

Link looked at him in wonder "It was the Twilight Realm" he said

"Correct. We spent a lot of time among the twili, disguised of course. We learned much about them, there culture, history, and even a few of there legends. One in particular stuck with a few of us, it went like this. There will come a time when a queen with a broken heart shall shatter the gateway of light and dark. In doing so a great evil will rise. To begin to plan the rebuilding of the gateway, along with the downfall of the realm of twilight, and Hyrule. But all will not be lost. A hero of the light and dark will awaken the five guardians of the mirror from there slumber. For only they have the power to stop the evil from opening the gateway again"

Link let out a small laugh "I wonder who this Hero is" he said in mock curiosity. He should have known he time as the Hero of Twilight wasn't over yet, fate had a bad habit of throwing new things at him.

"Who indeed?" Bast said with humorous tone. "But you see, the five guardians were supposed to be born of hylians and twili. Light and dark. But due to our meddling, the five were born of the Naryu, causing the five children to be locked away in our time."

"So you need me to go to your realm and awaken them? If i am correct." Asks Link.

"Yes, and no. The five Guardians have already awakened, but they have forgotten who they are. So we need you to wait until they come of age, so you can guide them back to your own realm, so they can be reminded of who they are." replies Bast.

"But then why do you need me? Can't one of your people do it?" asks Link rather confused.

Bast shook his head. "My people had left our realm ages ago. New life has sprun up in our place, and we dare not meddle with it. We have learned from our mistake. That is why we need you." Bast patted Link on the shoulder and began humming a strange tune. The purple stones Bast had put on the ground started to glow. To his amazement a dark purple portal now hovered in front of him.

"Your sure you want to do this? You wont have anyway to return here until your task is done" asked Bast, standing beside the rift.

"No.. there is nothing for me here....not now. So lets do this...old man" Link replies smiling. As he walked into the portal. A very familiar dissolving sensation flowed over him.

Bast burst out laughing. "If that mans love burned any hotter i swear it would light the world on fire." Bast said to a dark group of tress.

A shadowed woman steps out from the dark "Your probably right. Do me a favor Bast, and watch over him, hes not as indestructible as he likes to think" she replied.

Bast smiled and bowed his head "All keep a close eye on him. See you in twenty years? " He asked smiling

"Only for you, see you tomorrow Bast" With that Bast entered the portal. It slowly closed in on it self and grew smaller, then faded from existence.
