(A/N: Well, here's another attempt at writing...R&R please.)
Disclaimer: I do not own The Legend of Zelda or any of the characters.
We flew across Hyrule field like we always do. Link and I. It was a glorious day today though, and I felt like I was flying. I trusted Link with my whole heart to guide me along, and today was no exception. I didn't know where Link was taking me, but if I had to guess I would probably say that he was taking me to Kakariko Village. We were speeding across Kakariko Gorge at the time, running towards the village.
I was right. We entered Kakariko village before I could even register it in my head. Link slowed me down to a trot, and he stopped me by the spring. I felt him get off, and he just stood there for a moment petting me gently.
"You ran well, Epona. Just like you always have." He says in his soothing voice to me. I knicker to him and shake my head in approval. He then leaves me there. Sometimes I don't know how long he will leave me in one place. All I can do is stand. Waiting as patiently as I can for him to return. I would see him disappear into a place I've heard humans call "Malo Mart." I think humans go in there for supplies, but I don't think I shall ever find out.
Link stops on his way back over to me to talk to someone. I just see from a distance, though, and I cannot make out what they are saying. I have learned the human tongue, although I will never be able to speak it. I see Link wave goodbye to the person, and he is now walking towards me. As he nears, I welcome him with a soft neigh, making him smile. He mounts me quickly, and I am more than ready to go. I listen and feel for his commands as he urges me on with a snappy, "Hyahh." It is more than familiar to me, and I immediately bolt forward.
Night is falling fast. I hate night time, especially when I have to endure it alone. We rush across Hyrule field again, only now it is dark. I can tell that Link is going home. To Ordon. My home and his home as well. I will always feel the safest there, grazing outside on Link's front lawn, waiting for him to get up in the morning to go herd goats up at my second favorite place in the world. The Ranch. I know all the goats by their names that they give each other. I am close friends with all the goats, and we talk often. When we can, that is. Link stops me in front of his house, says goodnight, takes my saddle and bridle off, and goes into his house for the night.
In the morning, I am refreshed with the spring air that surrounds me. Flowers are budding at my hooves, and I feel as if I am in heaven. I am snapped out of my fantasies by the familiar voice known as Link. He lunges the saddle on my back, making me grunt slightly, then he puts my bridle on. More gentler this time.
"I have the day off from the ranch today, Epona." Link pats me. "But I'm afraid I still have to ride you somewhere." He sighs deeply.
I don't mind. In fact, I am glad because I need something to do. I hate just standing there all day whenever Link has the day off. It's really the most terrible thing ever. He doesn't mount me right away. Instead he sits down in the grass and looks around. I wish I could talk to him and ask him what's wrong, but he hasn't turned into a wolf for quite a long time. He begins talking to me, not knowing that I can understand it.
"Oh, Epona...how come I can't express my feelings toward Zelda? What's wrong with me? I've loved her ever since I saw her, but I am afraid to tell her..." He stops and examines the ground.
This is not a surprise to me. I have known there was always something between them, but this is a first. Link is actually telling me out loud now, and I am surprised by that. I see the sadness in his eyes as he looks up at me, and I wish I was human for just a few seconds so I could comfort him and tell him that everything would be okay, but I cannot, of course. So I just stand there as he mounts me now finally.
(A/N: Chapter two will have more LinkxZelda in it, and I will try to make it longer. This chapter was just mainly and introduction.)
