"Calamity Self." "Shadow." These words have been going around a lot lately, haven't they? I'd be interested in talking to heroes that have already chosen to face these so-called versions of themselves, and what exactly it entailed.

Did you truly consider this other you your "shadow" self? And what exactly did that mean to you before you faced it? Did your feelings change after meeting with them?

I ask because, well... I wonder how easy it was for some of you to determine which is the shadow, and which is the light.

( on her feet, as she entered the room, her yellow eye flicked over towards dylas, her expression blank at first— then it closed as she crossed her arms over her chest. )

Of course it's stupid. ( nearly everything in this world has been. ) But in Crystallis, it's become increasingly clear that what's stupid is also sometimes necessary. ( actually, she sounds pretty annoyed about it. )

[He nods, agreeing with her...for the most part. There's always a split second before he speaks where he's never sure what Midna is going to say or do.]

Yeah, that's what I thought. [Wait a second. His ears flick up.] Wait, that makes it sound like you want to go through with it!

( she frowns at the idea, but if the rumours are true, then... ) It may be detrimental not to go. Don't get me wrong, I don't like playing by the rules of this world anymore than the next reluctant hero but it's a problem when it may involve a connection to our own worlds.

( her head tilts just slightly as she looks up towards him. ) It may not be something that can be avoided forever.

( that's her way of encouraging you, dylas. honest. )

I think...maybe the world I'm from would be better off destroyed. But it's not my choice to make.

[It's a miserable place. He doesn't normally wish death on anyone, but it's a cruel prison. He taps his fingers on the armrest of the couch.]

Do you want me to come with you? It's not supposed to be done alone, right?

( a comment like that garners a look, and a pause, from the imp. perhaps it's true that some worlds may be better off a pile of rubble but... some might thing that about the twilight realm too. )

Hmm, hm! Are you offering to help me? What a gentleman! I'm sure that you could be of some help, after all, you did help me to retrieve the mirror. ( she taps at her chin with small pointed fingers for a moment, then nods. )

Yes, I'm sure that will work just fine, then.

[He sighs. This is so typical of Midna in a way that it's more of a relief than a burden. He's getting used to her.]

Let's pretend like I had a choice in the matter to begin with, but yeah. I won't let you face something like that alone. Whatever it's like.

( there's a silence that meets him at that. not having anything to say was uncharacteristic of midna to begin with, but when she looked at him after hearing that, something... softened in her eye.

this is the part where she turns her back, hiding any trace of what she'd just exposed. facing her deepest desires brought with it many revelations... that perhaps she wasn't yet ready to face. why did he even care if she faced it alone or not to begin with? somewhere along the line, without even realizing it— their relationship had become more like a partnership. more like...

no. forget it. )

And I know I can trust... that you'll be ready for when the time comes.

( off she goes, out of the room, retreating. there was a lot to think about before then. )
