The Revival of Shadow Link

41:

Of course they forgot about me, why would they ever even want to remember me? Vio brought me back out of guilt because he's too nice of a person to not feel guilty, he's probably been leading me on, and now he ditched me and they're all gonna make a break for it so they never have to see me again.

 I sighed and stopped again. I had been walking around for what seemed to be a couple hours, trying to find anything or anyone, but the location was empty. I couldn't see any light--I actually wanted to see light--and couldn't find any way of exiting. The darkness seemed to go on forever, I honestly started to wonder if maybe, there was no escaping, and we were all just going to wander around here without any light or any company for the rest of our lives. 

I glanced around and started walking again, it felt like my night vision was steadily worsening somehow and my legs were getting sore. How much longer could I keep going? Maybe I'd need to rest soon, but this place didn't seem safe, the grass was covered in hecking blood, for crying out loud.

I was struggling to keep my eyes open when I finally saw light.

And it, unfortunately, wasn't the bright light emitting from heaven, I hadn't died.

I heard Red gasp and Blue draw out his sword before he knocked me to the ground and I felt cold metal against my throat.

Right when I thought Blue was going to pierce my jugular, he said, "Oh, it's just you, Shadow," and sheathed it.

Surprisingly enough, he helped me back to my feet...

...only to get knocked back down when Red tackled me in a hug.

"Shaaaaaaaadowwww!"

"Hi."

"Oh, goddesses, we were so worried, weren't we Blue, we thought we wouldn't find any of you guys, but if you're here, then one of the others must be somewhere nearby, right, oh, I was seriously starting to--where'd Blue go?"

I looked up, and in the dim glowing light emitted from the top of Red's fire rod, I realized that Blue had disappeared.

"Blue?" Red called.

I slowly got to my feet.

"I was with Vio and Zelda earlier, but...I couldn't keep up with them," I said. "There's something about this place, it's off."

Red nodded and kept looking around before--apparently for the first time--looking down and noticing that his boots were covered in blood.

"Oh, my goddesses! Is that blood?!" He shrieked.

"Yeah, I noticed earlier, but don't worry! I don't think this is anyone's blood."

"We need to find the others, they have to be somewhere nearby!" Red grabbed onto my hand, his other still around his fire rod, and he pulled me behind him, clearly in a hurry to locate the four people we were looking for.

"You said that you were with Princess Zelda and Vio?" Red asked.

"Yeah."

"What's she doing here?"

"What are any of us doing here?"

Red shrugged and crept closer to me. "I'm kinda scared."

I bit my lip before replying truthfully, "I kinda am too."
