(Y/N)'s P.O.V.

I stood inside my weapon shop examining which weapon I would give to Link. It was in the wee hours of the day and everyone was pretty much still asleep. I snuck off from the others so that they wouldn't follow me.

I looked at a sword resting in the glass. It looked like a plain sword really, with a simple blue handle and red jewel in the center of the handle. But when activated, the blade emits a dark aura and red flames.

Link had told me earlier that he'd be willing to try dark magic in weapons, right? Well here it was. I grabbed the sword and placed it in a sheath and headed back towards the fields.

Poor Link...he doesn't know what he's getting into.

Link's P.O.V.

I picked at a piece of grass waiting for Alevina to return.

Midna sighed and floated in the air. "Let's go, Link, I'm pretty sure she left us."

"I don't think so," I responded, "It's not like her to just leave us out of nowhere and not come back. Maybe she's getting firewood or something."

I stood up and looked into the distance when I saw a flash of bluish-white run by.

"(Y/N)?" I mumbled to myself. "Midna, I'll be back," I said as I transformed into my wolf form to run after what looked like (Y/N).

I ran through the fields coming to a stop when I saw the familiar wolf in a desolate area surrounded by old ruins. She was carrying a sword over her back.

"(Y/N)!" I yelled, excited to see the wolf I had not seen in so long. The wolf jumped a bit and had a startled look in her eyes as she saw me approaching.

"Link, it's just you," the wolf said as she came closer.

"(Y/N)," I said happily. I hadn't seen the wolf in so long and here she was, "It's so great to see you. I've been looking everywhere for you."

"Were you now?" the wolf questioned.

"Yes, I have. You must meet my friend Alevina," I said excitedly.

"I've already met her," the wolf said coolly, "I've known her for awhile actually. She stopped by and wanted me to give this to you."

The wolf let the sword fall from her back. The sword fell with a heavy thud and I examined it.

So (Y/N) knew Alevina. I wonder how they met?

"What is this?" I questioned as I looked at the sword.

(Y/N) started circling the sword. "It's a weapon infused with dark magic. Alevina told me to bring this to you so that you could practice with it."

"Will she be coming to teach me how exactly to control this sword?" I questioned still wondering where Alevina was.

"Unfortunately, no. She had several things to attend to so she sent me here instead, being that I have powers to help you in case something goes wrong."

I was kind of sad that Alevina had left yet again, but at least I had (Y/N) by my side. I transformed into a human and grabbed the sword. It looked like any other sword really. Perhaps it would look like more once I actually used it.

I headed back to Midna and Epona with (Y/N) following along.

*****

"Link! Watch out!" Midna called out as another shadow beast was about to attack me. I swiftly dodged and rolled to the floor. I grabbed a sword from my sheath and started to attack. When I took out the sword, it turned out not to be the Master Sword, but the magic infused one.

I attacked the shadow beast expecting them to fall one by one, but it wasn't working.

I saw (Y/N) finishing off her enemy when I called to her. "Why isn't it working?" I continued to ward off the shadow creatures trying to attack me.

The wolf dashed to my side. "It's not activated yet, Link. Of course it won't work."

Activation? I continued to try attacking the enemies when (Y/N) started to mumble a few words. Her eyes started to shift from golden to a pure dark black and her crescent moon symbol started to glow. At the same moment, my sword glowed a bright red, flames emitting from the sides. The sword suddenly got heavier but I tightened my grip. I felt something flow through my body...it felt like darkness.

"Link," the wolf said sternly, "You need to learn to fight it."

I tried my best to control myself but I could only feel myself being engulfed by the weapon. My eyes felt heavy and I felt like I longer had control of my body. My arms moved on its own attacking the creatures, but instead of just dying, the creatures turned into some sort of mist. The mist was absorbed by the sword in my hand. Once the battle was over, I instantly fainted.

*****

I felt something extremely wet and cold land onto my face causing me to jerk up suddenly. I saw that Midna had thrown a large amount of water on me with that magic hand of hers.

She laughed hysterically, "About time you woke up," she said. I frowned at her and looked around at my surroundings. We were currently under a large bridge. I then saw (Y/N) in the distance holding the sword in her mouth. She walked towards me and placed the sword next to me.

"You feeling better?" the wolf asked with concern.

I nodded and looked at the now plain sword. Just a couple moments ago, the sword became so intricate as flames lined the blade, but now, it was just any old sword.

"What happened back there?" I asked as I scratched my forehead.

The wolf let out a small sigh, "You were too weak for the sword so it took over. You need to learn to control yourself, Link."

"But how?" I questioned.

"Most people start off with how you just did. They first let the weapon take over and from there, they get used to it and adjust to the weapon. But that can either end with you being successful or you being completely taken over by the weapon."

I groaned to myself, "What have I gotten myself into?"

I held my head in my hands, looking at the grass as my foot kicked away the loose strands when a sudden flash of memories came to mind. The first flashing to the salesman I met back in Castle Town.

"There have been many rumors about the place, but the main one is that the owners were associated with dark magic."

"Dark magic?"

"Yeah, it was such a shame too. The owners were really nice. They had a daughter who would always walk around the plaza and help people just for the heck of it. They really were nice people, but they were accused of dark magic. So apparently they ran away. Some people say that they were killed. Some say that the family escaped to the woods. But now one really knows."

"Do you happen to recall the family's last name?" I asked.

The man scratched his chin, "It was (L/N) I believe."

My thoughts suddenly flashed to Alevina when we first met.

"So what exactly did you want to know about weaponry?"

"Well, I kind of already know about weaponry. But I was wondering if you knew anything about magic infused ones."

"I told you already, over by the bar. Remember? I'm just a regular blacksmith. Not associated with magic or anything of the sort. Why would you think I knew that kind of stuff?"

"I don't know. I just assumed I guess. My senses are telling me there's something about you."

(L/N)...regular blacksmith...Alevina...

"(Y/N)," I said sternly. The wolf looked at me in confusion picking up my tone. "Where did Alevina get this weapon?"

Something about (Y/N)'s golden wolf eyes told me something wasn't right. But the wolf remained calm and collected. "She said she found it down deep in the river. She did some studies and found out that it was a magic infused sword."

I couldn't really say I was buying it. This all seemed to confusing for me. Alevina saying she was a regular blacksmith who knew nothing about dark magic.

"And how exactly did you know how to use the weapon?" I asked the wolf, now suspicious of her.

The wolf remained calm, "Because I've used one before and am a product of one."

"Wait, what?" I said confused, "This is all to much for me to handle. I'm taking a walk."

I walked off into the distance still confused by everything. Everything was all so suspicious now and I had no idea what to think. It looks like I needed to do some serious discovering.
