"Ehehe!" Midna laughed. "Such a coincidence that we're going to the same place."

Link didn't reply. He was too focused on the tunic bestowed upon him. Him? The chosen hero? It didn't feel real. He was a farmhand. Nothing more. He was no knight. What could he possibly do in the face of such great evil?

His thoughts were interrupted by Midna's giggle.

"How I believe we had a deal," she said. "You want to find your friends, don't you?" she asked. "So hurry up, Mr. Important Hero! The sooner I get that fused Shadow, the sooner you find your friends!"

Link nodded. "Yeah," he said. He looked back at his gloved hand and dropped it to his side.

A crunch came from the nearby tunnel.

"Ugh!" Midna muttered. "Someone's coming! You take care of it!" The twili disappeared into Link's shadow. Link drew his sword and carefully approached the tunnel, ready for the potential ambush.
