An
Link looks like he does In my drawing.

Revali sits up shocked by all the sudden noise
" why is link crying."
He asks calmly. He looks over to see the shadow of the hero being taken away by guards. A lot of them.  He doesn't resist at all. He has given up. His eyes shine with tears mirrored by the ones that delicately drip Down his face. Revali goes to get up to follow but links eyes flash red and a huge wave of energy is produced pushing the rito back winding him. The shadow creature takes this moment to escape and jumps an impossibly high leap and vanishes into the night leaving a bunch of confused zoras in its wake. 
"R-revali w-w-w what happened?"
Mipha whispers clutching her sore throat.
"He fell into a pit of malice. He didn't get out fast enough and passed out pretty much dead. I don't know what's happened." The distraught champion replies.
"This is dark-dark magic. I've never seen it but I know someone who might have. Impa. Link told me about her. She practically raised him she was his fathers friend and taught him all she knew about swords. She lives far away in kakariko."
"Ok I'll meet you at the village you swim it's faster we should
Be there within the hour"
Mipha nods and dives off the domain her scarlet scales glint in the sunlight.
Revali bottles up his emotion and feels the wind of revalis gale pull him into the sky.
"I'm coming my hero." He whispers.

An hour later

Mipha signals to the sillouhete in the sky. Beneath the water fall she resides on top of is a large house. Well not huge but bigger than the others in the village. Revali lands before some steps and waits for the princess to join him. A beautiful young warrior stands facing. A wooden log sword raised in a position to attack. The deadly blade curved pointing to her target. As she is about to strike a loud knock resonates through her house. Annoyed that someone would interrupt her she huffs and walks toward the door. Upon opening said entrance a flushed and dripping wet zora rushes into her home. The jewels that lay upon her head that used to shine brightly but are now full and boring no remnant of their former brightness.
"Your majesty what ever is the matter"
The sheika cries out at her distress. Before mipha can answer a towering rito enters the household.
"Mipha where is Impa we need to get this done asap"
Mipha points to the young woman. Her eyes stare into the rito determining what kind of person he is and why he needs help. She sees a shadow of a person. A lost love.
"Why do you need my help" Impa questions in a sharp voice.
"It's about link."
Mipha manages to say.
Impa did down shocked
"What happened" fear in her voice mirrored in her eyes. No longer will emotions be hidden.
"He-he"mipha can't finish as she bursts out crying.
Revali pats her with his wing.
"He um turned into into a sh-shadow."
Impas eyes open wide at that statement.

A single tear runs down revalis face.
"Malice we-we were um messing around and he fell into a pit for ages. Got out and collapsed. Now he's dis-dissapeared.  He has red eyes weird markings and inhuman strength."
Impa  collapses and rests her hand over her heart. Hyperventilating.
"You deserve an explanation"
She catches the eyes of the zora princess.

"Long ago when Link was born I was entrusted him not to protect him but to protect others. His parents were one hylian and one twili. The twili are ancestors of the Shieka that defied the royal family and used their magic, powerful magic for evil. They were banished to the twilight realm. However a few remained. One fell infuated with a soldier. They had a child. That child was born looking normal. No odd marking except for the triforce on his hand, but carried ungodly powers. He could transform into a beast.  A blue eyed beast. Could hurt people with no force just magic had extreme strength. With extreme courage we put that part of the child to rest. It lay dormant inside forgotten and could only be opened by death or intense evil. That child was Link. The malice would have killed him and then corrupted his soul. I'm sorry but he can't be changed only taught to forget evil. He won't change in appearance and will fight the evil inside but eventually he will lose and someone with the strength of a hero and the magic of a twili could kill everyone and everything with a flick of his wrist. He is growing in powers and you must find him and save him from himself. "
She stares at the two. Honesty in her eyes 
"Kind of fitting really. The one destined to save us will kill us."  Mipha says
"Yes he is going to save us from ganon but only if you get there first. He needs help not just pushes love and affection." Impa replies
"Revali" she says sharply
He looks up.
"You will be the one to help him. I can tell from your eyes how you feel. Go find him. Go"she smiles her eyes filled with hope.

Later.
"Revali we have looked everywhere where could he be?!"mipha says clearly exhausted.
"Mipha you should rest go home for a bit. I'll find him I promise. I won't rest." Mipha nods silently and dives off the cliff into the stream.
"Oh Link I'll find you."
Revali whispers to no one but the wind.

Suddenly a wire connects in his brain. He knows where Link is. He pushes off and flies to the tundra.

There on the cliff huddled next to a fire is a dark foreboding creature. It's eyes pierce the darkness. Revali lands next to it. He pulls his hero into a hug.
"Dont"Link says. His voice dark and sad. Revali doesn't let go.
"I SAID DONT" link rises into the air and hovers off the ground one hand open to the sky the other points foreword to revali. He falls to the ground the rito screams in the pain inflicted by the once gentle person. The Shadow smiles feeling no remorse.
