Chapter Text
It started with his parents.
He leaves his old home.
He finds Ordon.
He has a family again.
Then Talo was taking away.
No.
Then the rest of the children.
No.
Ilia and his horse.
Please don’t...
He was left behind.
He ran after them.
He turns into a wolf and meets Midna.
When he turns back into a human he meets a golden wolf.
He finds his friends but they can’t see him. It angers him and Midna laughs.
Don’t forget me.
When the Kakariko is saved.
He sees his friends again.
He finds his horse again.
He hugs them and holds them and he never wants to let go.
He goes back home and tells their parents the children are alright.
When he comes back to Kakariko, they try to take Colin… again.
No… not again.
He rides after them.
Filled with so much rage when he saves Colin he doesn’t let go.
Not until they reached Kakaiko.
It pained him to let go but he did.
They tell him to find Ilia.
When he does, and she doesn’t remember him.
He breaks.
You can’t leave me alone.
Midna laughs.
She's here… but at the same time, she’s not. This is a different type of abandonment. It hurts.
He brings Ilia back to them to his friends.
They mourn with him.
Ilia is fixated on helping Ralis.
He’s hurt but understands.
He leaves and goes to the water temple.
When he leaves Midna is mortally wounded by Zant.
She is dying...
I’m scared.
Right in front of him.
Dying...
Midna you can’t die. Please don’t…
He makes it to Zelda.
She saves Midna but then vanishes.
It leaves a bad taste in his mouth.
He didn’t want Zelda to leave.
He focused on Midna.
She changed.
He got the master sword.
Midna shows him the magic Zant used to curse him.
He tells her he’s happy she’s okay.
She smiles with no sarcasm and goes into his shadow.
He likes her.
They go to the desert, Midna tells him about her past.
When he smiles and says it’s okay.
Midna is overjoyed.
She asked a lot of him.
He’s done a lot for her.
She likes this light dweller.
When they reach the mirror they come to find out it has been broken into pieces.
Midna seems hopeless.
The sages come and spill Midna secret.
She is the Twilight Princess.
He’s not mad. He’s not mad.
Midna could do anything to him. He couldn’t care.
As long as she stayed near him.
The sages tell where to find the mirror.
Midna turns to him. She asks if he’ll find the mirror.
“Of course. I’ll do anything for you.”
The next time he sees Ilia she remembers him.
They are standing alone.
Ilia comes and hugs him, she says his name.
He is happy.
He doesn’t let go.
She won't leave him.
He doesn’t want to let go.
Midna talks to him outside.
“You two look nice together.”
He doesn’t understand.
“What do you mean Midna?”
He and Ilia together?
No… I
“If I ever leave… at least…”
“NO!”
Did he hurt Midna?
He breaks at the thought.
He begs her.
He pleads that she has to stay.
He’ll be a better partner.
He’ll be a better pet.
He’ll be a better… anything as long as she stays.
She has to stay.
She has to stay.
“You have to stay.”
He’ll die without her.
He doesn’t say that out loud.
But he knows it’s true.
Midna looks shocked.
He overwhelmed her.
But before he apologizes.
Midna speaks.
“I won’t go.” She says.
And she believed that at the time.
He smiles.
Midna does too.
He only does things for her.
He always smiles at her.
He always has a gift for her.
When he fights it’s always for her.
When they reach the twilight realm.
He comments.
“I guess I better get used to living here.”
If Midna comes here.
He wants to come here too.
Midna doesn’t say anything.
She has a cold look in her eyes.
“Or would you like to live in my world?”
She cold stare becomes colder.
He doesn’t make any more comments.
He keeps his words in his head.
They find Zant and he beats him.
But when Midna doesn’t turn back into her true self.
She kills him.
He hugs her.
And she hugs back.
Midna let him hug her then.
But after that.
She ignored him.
She dodged his hugs.
She dismissed his gifts.
He is confused.
He asked her what’s wrong.
She says he’s being clingy.
Clingy… I’m…?
He begs her forgiveness.
“ I’m sorry!”
She has to stay.
“I’m sorry!”
She has to stay.
“I’m-”
She stops him. And goes into his shadow.
He never acts desperate again.
He keeps that emotion inside.
He‘ll always be calm.
The next time Midna came out of his shadow.
He acted calmly.
She smiles.
He stays calm.
Even when he’s angry he stays relaxed.
At the gates of the castle.
He sees the Golden Wolf.
He sees the Hero’s Shade.
He learns a new skill.
He says… goodbye?
“No… no…”
He’s fading.
“You can’t go! You have too… you have too…”
He wakes up with an empty feeling.
He wants to cry.
He wants to scream.
But he doesn’t want to upset Midna.
He sucks it up and smiles.
When they reach Hyrule Castle.
When Ganondorf has Zelda.
He’s angry.
But he stays calm.
He doesn’t make a fit.
Midna tries to save Zelda but is tossed like a rag doll. And blocked away from him.
He can’t think.
He can’t be away from her.
He can’t breathe.
She has to stay.
He can’t breathe-
There is someone behind him.
Ganon had turned Zelda into a puppet.
He stops her and Midna extracts the darkness out of her.
Ganon awakes again.
He and Midna attack him. When they win…
He looks at the two women.
Zelda is safe.
Midna is safe.
He smiles.
But then Ganon reawakens again.
Midna…
She sacrifices herself.
He wants to stop her.
He can help.
But she teleports him and Zelda away.
He's angry.
When he opens his eyes he’s in Hyrule Field.
The castle blows up.
Ganon is holding Midna’s Helmet.
No…
He’s in a turmoil.
Midna likes it when he’s calm.
So he doesn’t show his anger.
Midna doesn’t like it when he comments.
He stays silent.
So what should he feel?
His chest ached.
Zelda grabs his arm.
He doesn’t feel alone.
She makes light arrows and forces Ganon off the horse.
When he falls he walks to him.
The fight with Ganondorf is a blur.
He only remembers stabbing into his chest.
That part felt like an eternity.
He turns away from the sword.
He turns away from Zelda.
But then there was light.
He turned to see the light spirts.
And a silhouette cast in from of them.
When he reaches and she turns around.
Midna.
He wants to cry.
Midna doesn’t like it when he’s desperate.
But he can’t help it.
He hugs her.
He knows she hates it.
But he hugs her.
And she hugs back.
Everything’s okay.
Everything’s okay.
“Everythings…”
There’s a sound of something cracking.
Footsteps racing behind him.
He turns and she’s her slowly dissolving into black squares.
Midna hates when he’s clingy.
He doesn’t move.
Midna hates it when he comments.
He doesn’t say anything.
Midna hates when he’s desperate.
But she was supposed to stay.
He cries.
The mirror shattered…
She was supposed to stay…
And now he was alone.
Was this his destiny?
Was everyone going to someday leave?
No…
It was him.
He was the problem.
He wasn’t good enough.
He was undesirable.
He was disgusting.
He was worthless.
He was defective.
He was revolting.
He just needed to listen better.
He just needed to be nicer.
He just needed to be better.
He needed to work harder.
He could be better.
He could be better.
“Be better...”
He went to bed and woke up somewhere strange.
With blue eyes staring back at him.
