Author's Note: Thank you to JudgeHoea. To be honest, I was having a very awful time trying to write this chapter, and your review made me realize someone was still interested in reading the continuation... and interested in the same parts I love writing. You made my whole week. Thank you so much to everyone who reads and especially those who review this story.

“Midna?” Link asked, pushing his soaking wet hair out of his eyes. “You… um… you’re…”
Midna laughed again, and slid closer to him. “It’s great to see you too, Link.”
“You’re alive. I mean, we knew you must be, but… I didn’t expect…” he gestured at her, not entirely sure how to say it.
“I told you that wasn’t my true form,” she said, grinning. Her face was beautiful, and her body distractingly so, not concealed much by the steaming water. She was tall enough that her breasts were almost completely visible, looking inviting and full in the buoyant water. The wickedness in her smile was just as playful as it had been as an imp, though. “This is what a freed Twilit being looks like.”
“I’m glad your people are finally free,” Link said, smiling at her and relaxing a bit now, keeping his eyes carefully up. “Are you all back in the Twilight Realm now?”
She glanced away from him, her skin glowing in the moonlight in a way that his definitely didn’t. “Our world is dangerous, Link… my people are so few in number now that living in the Twilight Realm is difficult…”
“I’m sorry,” he said quietly. He bore a lot of guilt for killing Twilight beings… he’d tried to avoid lethal force, but they had been twisted by dark magic and trying to kill him… and it wasn’t always possible to banish them safely.
“It’s not your fault, Link!” Midna said, her hand a cool touch on his cheek, turning his face to look at her. “You did everything you could for my people and for yours. You and I both know who the real culprit behind all of this was.”
“Ganondorf,” Link agreed, leaning into her touch just a little. He’d grown used to her riding him as a wolf, so it wasn’t completely foreign… but it felt different without fur. Her hand felt… not quite real, a little cool, a faint tingle of magic inherent in her skin.
She nodded, her thumb rubbing gently against his cheek. “And how he’s holding your whole country hostage… not through magic as he did mine, but with subtlety… which is more dangerous, because nobody knows anything is wrong. At least outright slavery can be fought.”
“I’m actually surprised… I thought he’d have made more sweeping changes, declared martial law, something,” Link mused. “But to Hyrule as a whole, he’s actually… popular. People like him.”
“And to you?” Midna asked softly. She was closer to him now, her leg not quite touching his in the water. Her hand slipped down onto his shoulder instead, his skin tingling slightly at her touch.
“He’s terrifying,” Link said even more quietly. “He manipulates me so well I don’t realize he’s got me trapped until there’s nowhere to go but where he wants…”
“You and Zelda both, I think,” Midna guessed, now just a hair closer, her foot brushing against his leg, just a casual touch that didn’t feel at all casual. “He’s using your decency against each other.”
“Not really against, just… exploits it,” he sighed. “He sent me here, with two guards… but he’s smart enough to know I could escape into the mines if I wanted to. So he’s keeping Zelda back in the castle with him…”
“As a guarantee for your good behavior,” Midna said, shaking her head. “Simple… and more effective than it should be. Zelda’s a strong woman. How did he turn her against me, turn you against me?” Her voice held a hint of anger now… she had calmed down since she’d first broken free of the curse, but the betrayal still stung.
“Ganondorf does a lot worse to his captives than Zant,” Link said, his tone distant, haunted. “We didn’t mean to go against you, Midna… He gave Zelda a bargain to keep Hyrule safe and peaceful, if she cooperated with him. And we did think you were dead.”
“I suppose that’s true,” she said, going quiet for a bit. “Link… we have to get him off of Hyrule’s throne. You should come with me… we make an excellent team. The Gorons are your allies, not his. They’d hide you, no questions asked.”
“I am NOT leaving Zelda in his power,” Link snapped. He would rather suffer Ganondorf alone himself than put Zelda in the same position.
“Alright, alright,” she said, raising her hands in surrender. “Maybe it’s better if you stay anyways. You’re in an excellent position to strike from within.”
Link was quiet again. He wasn’t sure if it was fear or reluctance or something else that made him so hesitant. “Midna… don’t you think I haven’t tried? He’s… I can’t… He’s too much for me to take.”
“No, he’s not,” Midna said firmly, her hands going to either side of his face, forcing him to look right at her. She was a bit taller than him, and Link wondered errantly if he was really shorter than average, or if he just only knew tall people. “You are the bravest person I know, and you don’t give up in hopeless situations. And this situation isn’t hopeless anyways. I’ll help, and I’m sure Zelda will too.”
“Midna… it’s not that simple…” It wasn’t just that Ganondorf was so strong. It was that lately… Link hadn’t been looking for ways to kill him anymore. He didn’t like the man, would be happier if he was gone, but… somehow, it had stopped seeming like the best option. Sure, he could just argue that the man beat him almost to death every time he tried. And that even if personal injury wasn’t enough, it was fear for what he’d do to Zelda, because Ganondorf knew Link would rather take any pain himself than see her hurt. Somehow, Link realized he’d actually started believing some of the things he said, at least about keeping Hyrule stable.
“Yes, it is,” she said. “Trust me, Link… I’ve got allies, and we’re going to be making a big show of force. If you can help take Ganondorf down, then everything can be resolved peacefully.”
He blinked, thinking. “You’re behind Labrynna’s army?”
She looked surprised, then nodded. “I was hoping we’d make it to Hyrule before the advance warning did… but yes, we are. Holodrum’s too. Link… I only want Ganondorf. He has a lot to answer for, enslaving my people twice, all the death and destruction he’s caused, keeping you and Zelda captive… if we can take him out, there won’t be any war. Your people will be safe, and so will Labrynna’s.”
“We agreed to… to cooperate so that Hyrule wouldn’t be embroiled in war again,” Link said slowly. One army was bad enough, but if Holodrum was attacking too… Goddesses, he hated politics. Why couldn’t he just go back to being a farmer? “If we stage a coup…”
“Then Hyrule will really be free, and so will my people,” Midna interrupted, her hands sliding a little farther back on his cheeks, fingers brushing against the lower curve of his ear. “Link, please… I need your help.”
“I… marching an army into Hyrule is not something I agree with…” he said, distracted by the touch of her fingers, although not as much as she might suspect. He could recognize a seduction attempt now when he saw one.
“So we’ll stop on the borders, Link, just get us an audience… Ganondorf won’t stand a chance against you and me and Zelda and the guards I’ll be bringing with us…” Her face was close now, her voice so quiet he could barely hear it.
“I…” Link’s mouth was dry, and he licked his lips, trying to think of a response. It wasn’t a detailed plan… but he had to admit it was a possible one. In a neutral location, with Midna’s full powers at hand, Ganondorf would be vulnerable. Zelda was a mage too, and it would just take a touch of Midna’s magic to give him the teeth and claws of a wolf, if he couldn’t get armed beforehand. The Gerudo King couldn’t stand against all of them… hopefully.
Midna interrupted his musings with the light pressure of her lips on his. Link froze; even though he’d been almost expecting it, it was still surprising enough to make him hesitate. It wasn’t that he didn’t like Midna… she’d become a dear friend and ally, and it had been crushing to think she’d been killed. And she was certainly beautiful…
He realized he was kissing her back, his body responding to the caress even if his mind was in turmoil. Link wouldn’t call his experiences of the last couple of weeks completely enjoyable… but they had been highly educational. It meant that while his body leaned forward into her kiss, his mind was able to wonder how much of this was because she actually wanted him and how much was to convince him to take her part.
It would be very nice to just… give in. Midna, while he was sure she was manipulating him, didn’t want to hurt him, didn’t need him to banish any nightmares. It was nice to think that she wanted him just because he was attractive and available, rather than a chess piece or the preferable option. But although her hands were skilled and delightful as they ran down his chest below the waterline, although her lips were soft on his neck, she still was doing this because she wanted something from him… something other than sex. Not to mention he doubted he could face either Zelda or Ganondorf and keep it a secret.
And so, when her hand dipped down between his legs, Link caught his breath and pushed her gently away, just the tiniest bit. “Midna… no. You don’t need to do this.”
“Oh, I sense otherwise,” she said with wicked amusement, her fingers stroking lightly along his length under the water.
He smiled at her, letting his eyes drift down to the breasts brushing against his chest. “You’d get that reaction from any man. Midna… this is a lot to take in. I can’t… I have to think about it.”
“It’s Zelda, isn’t it?” she said, tilting her head to the side. “If that’s all it is… we could share, you know…” Oh, gods, the thought of being in bed with two beautiful women… both of whom he liked and wasn’t terrified of…
That image was nearly enough to completely derail his train of thought, but he forced his mind back on track, gently grabbing her head and pushing her away from his neck. “No, it’s not. Or not totally. Midna, this isn’t just about what I want anymore. I have a whole country to think of… and as much as I like this style of negotiation…” he chuckled, shaking his head. “I can’t just decide the fate of Hyrule without talking to Zelda about it.”
She drew back slightly, looking at him in astonishment. “I must admit, Link… I never thought you for a ruler of any sort.”
“Neither did I,” he said ruefully, letting his hands drop back into the water. “But I didn’t have much choice in that matter, either. Listen, I know Zelda’s pushing for a diplomatic solution already. Where should we meet… or how can I contact you?”
“The Labryn army should reach the edge of the desert in four days,” Midna said. “And can you still attain wolf form? Good. I will hear you if you howl for me.” She stepped back from him, rising from the water, her form dissolving into Twilight as he watched. Link waited until the last trace of Twilight magic was gone from the area, then groaned, rubbing his face and leaning back in the water. So much for a break from politics. What was he going to tell Zelda?
