Midna’s laughter was a dry rustle in the thick, misty air. "Such a fortunate accident," she taunted. Link didn't answer. His attention was locked on the green tunic draped over his arm. A farmhand, called a hero? The contradiction sat like a stone in his gut. Midna sliced through his hesitation. "We had terms. You want your friends back? Then move, Mr. Hero." Link gave a terse nod, his fingers tightening around the hilt of his sword. A sudden, brittle crunch echoed from the tunnel ahead. "Visitors," Midna spat, her form melting into the shadow beneath his feet. Link stepped forward, blade lifted, every muscle coiled for the ambush lurking in the dark.
