After an hour of trying to put as much distance between themselves, and the castle, Link could go no further. He had to take a break. "Stop... for just a moment," he weakly said to her before he made his way over to a nearby tree, and sat underneath it, resting his back against the bark.

Midna floated down besides him. She didn't want to say it, but he looked an absolute mess. He had blood smeared over his face. "Why did you even try to fight him? He was clearly too strong."

"Someone had to... I couldn't just let him tear everyone else apart," he replied to her as he looked down to the ground. He hadn't been this badly beaten in his entire life. He knew he must look like he crawled out of a grave.

"You should've just waited for help, you almost got yourself killed!" Midna scolded him.

"I know, but you stopped him," he said as he looked back towards her. "If you weren't there to stop him, I don't think I would be breathing right now. Thank you, for saving me."

Midna softly smiled, it felt nice to be thanked once in a while. "I couldn't let him kill the only friend I have in this world... How did he know our names? No one knows my name but you."

"I don't know. I haven't even told anyone of your existance, let alone your name. He made it sound like we fought before, but I never fought him before today. When he was talking though, I did feel something, like there was some truth to his words," he told her as he let out a sigh. "I felt like I had met him before... It was a little similar to the feeling I got when I first met you."

Midna went quiet for a moment, looking away from him. "... I feel we're forgetting something. I didn't want to say anything before, but I have been having these dreams, with you in them. Dreams about us fighting things, dreams about places I have never been too before. Have you had those dreams too?" Midna thought nothing of them at first, but now, she wondered if her dreams were more than just dreams.

"Yeah, I have had those dreams too. I never had dreams that seemed so real before. They only started when you moved in with me... Do you think it is possible we have really met before, but we just don't remember it?" he asked. He wondered why they both had these dreams, and why that man recognized them both. There had to be some kind of explanation.

"I don't know, but I feel like I would remember you if we did," she told him, before looking back up to his blue eyes. "You're a mess, we need to wash all that blood off your face."

Link softly chuckled. "I am less worried about how I look, and more worried about where we are going to sleep tonight," he said as he slowly got back up to his feet. He felt lucky to even be getting up to his feet, after the beating he took. His head was still aching. Slowly, he walked over to a nearby pond, and knelt besides it. He washed away a lot of the blood, but her was still left with big bruises, and a cut on his cheek. He looked down to his reflection, sighing a little.

Midna walked over to him. "We'll figure something out, after all, I managed to survive without earning a single rupee my entire life."

Link looked back to her, smiling softly. "You know, I am surprised you are still with me. I'm glad it is you I am stuck out here with, because I think I need all the help I can get right now."

"Just leave the fighting to me, until we can get you a weapon anyway," Midna replied, before hearing the sound of thunder in the distance. "We better find some shelter, before we're stuck out here in the rain."

Link nodded before standing back up, and pushing on, searching for any kind of place to stay. An hour later, Link ran into a cave, a little wet from the rain outside. He wanted a little as he looked around. "How's this place?"

Midna quickly emerged from his shadow. "Definitely better than nothing," she said, before watching Link rest his back against the wall. Slowly, he slid down it, and closed his eyes. She had to admit, he was keeping pretty calm considering they were homeless. "How are you feeling?"

"I've been a lot better... But I could also be feeling a lot worse," he said, before looking back to her. He would never forget what she did for him.

Midna slowly floated next to him, before sitting down. "Where are we heading?"

"I think we should head towards Kakariko Village. It's located right near Death Mountain," he told her.

Midna gave Link a confused look. "Death Mountain? Aaaare you sure you want to go anywhere near a place called Death Mountain?"

"I know the name sounds threatening, but nothing bad has happened to the village. Not recently, anyway," he said as he looked over Midna's body. "I don't think I have asked you, but those glowing markings on your body, have you always had those?"

Midna nodded before looking at the markings on her arms. "I've had them for as long as I can remember. It is strange, isn't it? No other creature is born with these types of markings."

"I like them. They look pretty on you," he told her with a soft smile.

Midna quickly looked back up to the hylian. It was the first time she has heard anyone say anything was pretty about her. Usually, they just scream and yelled that she was a monster, until he took her away. "Thank you," she said, barely holding back something else she wanted to say. She wasn't sure how he would take it though, so she decided against it. The cold wind blowing in from the cave entrance made her shiver a little.

Link noticed she seemed a little cold, so he suggested something. "Here, sit on me. At least then we can share body warmth."

Midna thought about it for a bit, before reluctantly sitting down on his lap, and rested her back against him. After a few minutes of sitting there, she began to relax. "I do feel a little warmer."

"Me too," he replied as he looked out to the cave entrance. It was raining much heavier now. "I think we're going to be stuck here for a while, so might as well get comfortable."

Midna closed her eyes, but she continued to speak. "That village better have a place we can eat in."

"I'm sure it will... The problem is, I don't have any rupees."

"Who said I planned to pay?" she replied with a soft smirk. She thought it was cute, how innocent he was sometimes. She thought he was brave, but he needed someone who could really teach him how to survive with next to nothing.

"What if you get caught?" Link asked.

A devious giggle slipped past her lips. "They can try and capture me, but they will have a hard time capturing a shadow."

She had a point there. Although he was a guard, he knew he was left with no other option. He knew that he was probably wanted by now for collaborating with a demon. He just hoped that word hadn't reached Kakariko yet. The last thing he needed was his former friends coming after him. Gradually, his eye lids began to feel heavier and heavier. Today had been a rough day, he felt like he deserved a nap.

Midna began to notice the faint sound of snores, figuring that he must've fallen asleep. It was probably for the best that he gets some rest, he would need it should they bump into something, or someone that was hostile towards them. Over time, she started to feel a little tired to, so she closed her eyes. The sound of rain hitting the ground outside filled her ears, as she fell asleep. In her sleep, she began to have dreams, dreaming about places she had never seen, people she had never met. She had these dreams before whilst staying with Link, but this dream had more detail. Midna was sitting in a room, on a bed. On her head was something that seemed to be in all of these dreams, some sort of stone helmet. Three candles were lit on a nearby table, held by a candlelabra. Sitting by the table was Link, looking nervous about something. Laid out on the table was all his gear, everything they had collected on their travels. "Come to bed, Link. We have a big day ahead of us," she told him.

"I know," he said with a sigh, before looking back at the imp. "It feels like we're getting close to the end, doesn't it?"

Midna softly nodded, before a few seconds of silence passed. "When this is all over, they're going to be telling stories of us."

"I hope the stories have a happy ending," he told her, before getting up off the chair. He walked over, and sat down besides her on the bed. He looked down into the imp's unique eyes, and put on a brave smile. He didn't know what was going to happen tomorrow, but he hoped for the best. "Whatever happens out there, I want you to know that I will never forget you."

"Getting soft on me, Link?" she replied with a small smile, before resting her hand on his lap. "I will never forget you either."

Link kept staring into her eyes, entranced by them. He could feel her hand on his lap, causing his heard to beat a little harder, and faster, sending blood to certain places. Slowly, a blush began to brighten his hylian cheeks. Carefully, he reached down to touch her cheek, stroking her skin gently. He noticed a blush of her own gradually fading in. Then, he did something that he felt like he needed to do, before whatever happens tomorrow. He leaned down, bringing his face close to her's. He felt like he needed to do this, he would never forgive himself if he never felt her lips against his.

Midna remained silent, but no words needed to be said. She knew what he felt, she felt it too. She draped her arms around the back of his neck as she pressed her lips up against his, for the first time ever. It felt so good, to finally feel not just his lips, but his tongue too. Together, they remained locked in a deep and passionate kiss. Then, her eyes fluttered open, only to find herself back in the cave. Her small heart was still beating so heavily, having felt like she just made out for minutes without stopping for breath. The dream was so realistic, she began to doubt that it was just a dream. She felt his flesh against her's, and now, she noticed something. She was sitting on something hard. Once she quickly realized what it was, she immediately floated off Link, and looked back to him. He was still asleep, but it was clear something excited him. She had no idea how to feel about that dream. She knew one thing though, there was a part of her that was attracted to Link.

Link eventually woke up, yawning a little. He felt a little better than he did yesterday. "Good morning," he said to Midna with a smile. "I had an...interesting dream."

"Must've been a good one," she replied with a giggling before pointing towards his crotch.

Quickly, he looked down. His cheeks quickly turned bright red as he got up, which was a big mistake. He then turned around, his back facing her. Quickly, he adjusted himself so his morning wood wasn't so visible. "That happens sometimes when you're a guy."

"What happened in your dream anyway?" she asked, now very curious to know.

"Nothing much. We were in a room, I had a load of gear on a table, and we were just talking," he told her with a sigh, feeling a little reluctant to tell her anymore than that.

Midna's smile soon disappeared, as one question soon came to her. Did they just share the same dream? She had to know. "In your dream, did you say something about never forgetting me?"

Almost immediately, he looked right into her eyes. There was only one way she could've known that. "Yes, I did."

Midna paused for a moment, before letting out a big giggle. "I think we may have had the same dream," she said to him, deciding to have a little fun with him. "That explains your excitement."

Link just let out a long, embarrassed sigh. "The rain has stopped. We should get moving," he told her, trying to avoid talking about the dream. He had to admit, if that really happened, he could see why he would fall for her. She might be small, but there was something very beautiful about her. It was her eyes mostly. As he made his way out of the cave, Midna kept teasing him. It was going to be a long walk to the village.
