       For a prison, it was quite large. I walked around the room, looking for everyone I had left. I was not going to lose them the way I did my family. Is this it? I thought to myself. This room is full of void, yet it should be the very prison of Addanc's captured ones. I kept thinking about what to do for a while. It only took a few minutes, though, before the prison cells glitched into and back out of existence within a second. With this, I rose my head to the void above me and spoke these very words:

       "As the Hero of Time, I must request

that the Lens of Truth show me the rest

of the room made invisible to the mere naked eye,

presenting the truth with not a single lie."

       Seconds after casting this spell upon the room, everything was made clear as diamonds despite the messiness they came from. Now, the room held many cells that appeared open. I knew better, though. The number of cells was many, but thankfully, I had another spell to cast:

       "As the Hero of Time, I must request

that the Lens of Truth show me the rest

of the friends I have made and even new allies

that may help me along my quest with no hint of demise."

       Instantly, the very corners of my eyes became wavy, and I saw silhouettes of my friends and other allies I hadn't met yet. One of the figures was a rather small one, and since it was the closest, I walked that way to see who, or what, it was. In every prison cell, at least one body of rotten flesh lie within, blood pools surrounding their cuffed selves. I had finally made it to the cell holding the undersized person. Whatever it was, it didn't look like a person at all, but I could vividly tell it was female.

       "Hello there," I said, gentle and kind to make it assume I was on her team.

       "Oh, finally!" she said, releived, "What took you so long?"

       "Oh, a bantam kind of specimen."

       "I am Midna, Queen of the Twilight Realm mind you," said Midna.

       "Oh, my apologies, your majesty. How long have you been imprisoned here?" I asked, hoping she wouldn't say a long period of time.

       "I've been locked here since the year 1900." This left me unsettled.

       "So, the twentieth me never managed to bust you out of here?"

       "What are you saying? Speak my language."

       "You don't speak English?" I asked, confused.

       "Of course I do, I just don't understand what you mean."

       "I'll tell you later. Right now, all my other allies and friends have been locked up, and I must free them." With that, I unsheathed the Master Sword, glowing full and bright now, raised it in the air, and it became full of the power of light.

       "You should stand back, Midna." She floated back, catching me off guard, but I refocused, thrust my sword through the barrier, and the barrier shattered to pieces that disappeared in thin air. "You can hover?"

       "I can fly. All us Wolfmen can fly," Midna snapped.

       "Interesting. Come along. We must find our allies." With that, the infrared vision spell wore away, and I had to cast it yet again to find that all my friends had been grouped together in one cell. It was quite some distance away, though, almost as if it would take forever to get to. I knew it would be no less than ten minutes before I could free my friends. "Midna, is there any way to make our trip shorter that you know of?"
