<strong>In Hyrule Castle, about to talk to Darin.</strong><br/><br/>Despite the distance between them, Princess Zelda looked up as footsteps echoed from above, a single pair of feet from what her ears could tell.  Using her mystical power, she used her mind's eye to see who was above them.  Darin, the man from the mountains was there, having been woken up by something if she had to guess...just as they were heading downstairs to the sanctuary.  She had seen him, but he hadn't been as prominent as the others in her visions, at least not at first.  Looking back to where the other two had slipped away to, she looked back up and teleported upstairs right behind the man.  "You know that wandering the castle at night could get you into trouble, Darin of the Goron people."  Zelda said, taking a step in case he pulled his sword on impulse from being startled by her sudden appearance.  "You needn't be afraid, I am a friend and the one you came to speak to.  However, your wish to open up a shop in my home will have to wait, Darin.  There is far more greater things ahead of you.  In the morning all will become clear, I promise.  I do apologize for the way the former captain treated you, but he has been taken care of and so won't harm anyone else.  Please, return to your room for the night and rest as much as you can.  You'll need all the strength you can muster."<br/><br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/><strong>Midna, talking with Mael in her tree outside of Hyrule Castle.</strong><br/><br/>Midna listened quietly to what the wood spirit like woman said, and when she was done she hopped off of her branch and hovered in front of Mael's face.  She did indeed seem wilted from being in the night, strange thing for a human like creature such as her.  Oh well, to each their own she thought as she considered what Mael had told her.  "Hmmm....you have trouble doing the night huh?  Heh, that shouldn't be too hard to fix.  Just might feel a little weird."  The Twilight Princess formed a ball of dark magic in her left hand, and grinned a bit as she held it up to Mael's face.  "If you don't want to be a burden anymore to your new friends, then I can help you become just a little more like the night so you won't 'wilt' as you so aptly put it.  Still, I might require something of you later if you agree to the exchange.  Don't worry, it won't be anything too big, and who knows, you might enjoy being my little 'pet' from time to time.  I am the Twilight Princess after all, and even I need a hand sometimes.  Just ask the last Hero of Time, should you ever meet his ghost of course."  She laughed, but held the red and black orb perfectly balanced in her hand as she flipped in the air.  "So, what do you say Mael?"<br/><br/>((And this is how Midna gets stuck with us crazies....should Mhina agree of course lol.))
