Chapter One:
Her father had been going to deliver milk and eggs to Hyrule Castle ever since Malon could remember, always wishing she could travel with him but since she wasn't able to ride on the cart with the crates or walk with her father she was denied the opprotunity to go, time and time again. Constantly taking care of all the farm chores while her father spent time carefully crating everything.
One day as Malon was heading out to the pasture to check on the pregnant horse ,they had pinned up by herself till she had her foal, was in labor giving birth to the little pony she would later call Epona. Epona always acted so wild with everyone but herself, Malon seemed to have acomplished befriending the tiny pony. Not long after Epona was born Epona's mother sadly died leaving Malon heavy with grief not only because that was the Ranch's prized horse but because Epona was left with out a mother. As time went by Epona counted on Malon to feed, groom, and bathe her when needed a bond growing between them, becoming very strong as well.
More time went by till Malon's father hired a ranch hand, more like a babysitter, Ingo is his name Malon had a bad feeling about him but he looked naturally sneaky, he didn't need a certain look on his face. He always hung around the chicken coop and the barn, never really around the horses, Malon always thought it was because he was scared of them but soon she would find out why he was never around them. Soon everything settled down on the ranch and Malon was able to travel with her father into Hyrule to the Castle as long as she rode Epona and stayed out of everyones way.
'Today me and daddy go to market, maybe I'll be able to meet the princess finally' Malon skipped over to the pasture gate intending on getting Epona but noticed her father was waiting on her, "Oh good morning daddy when do we leave.." her father cut her off "I'm delivering today, there is no 'we' for a while sweetie, you've been slacking in your chores" he sighed leading her back towards the barn. "But daddy you said I could go every time!" she huffed pulling away, tears welling up in her wide eyes, "I know sweet heart and I am truly sorry but the King doesn't want any distractions for Princess Zelda today while she's in the garden ,with her guard, studying" he sighed hating to dissappoint his only daughter but it was the Kings orders after all.
Malon ran off in utter dissappointment, running back to the pasture, flying through the gate straight to Epona knowing she would be there for her. Crying never got her anywhere but she just needed to cry for a few minutes then march back to chores, refusing to let her father see her like this, ever. After her mother had died she had seen her father cry too much, she had too, but only at night in her room would she let the tears fall down her cheeks to plop onto her hands clenched in her lap. 'Ok' she thought bring herself together before standing up, then petting Epona before she started off back toward the barn to milk some cows once again to start the crating process all over again before her father returned from Hyrule Castle.
Later that evening Malon grew worried her father hadn't gotten home in time for supper, which wasn't like him to miss one meal, not even for an afternoon nap. She wondered out to the barn, opening the door silently spotting Ingo in one other the stalls she walked over "Mr. Ingo have you heard word from my father that he would be late getting back?" she hoped he would have holding her breath waiting for his answer. "No Malon I havn't would you like me to go looking for him?" he asked his eyes looking shifty as he stared down at her small figure. "No I will fetch Epona then ride off to find him, oh and I left your supper in a basket on a bale of hay toward the entrance of the barn!" she called out over her shoulder as he hurried off to fetch Epona, wishing it wasn't so dark. Ingo let his gaze slide down to her ass as she ran to fetch her horse.
Malon rode to the entrance of Lon Lon Ranch to see if she ay spot her father coming down the road, but no such luck. She rode across the open fields to the draw bridge leading to Hyrule, stopping Epona long enough to sigh heavily beginning to worry.
"hello there.." a soft male voice spoke from near the opposite side of the path she was on. "Whoes there?" Malon stammered looking over, trying to calm Epona as she snorted angrily at the shadowy figure.
For a brief moment, in the glow of the full moon she saw a blur of green fabric and the flash of a sword before the figure dissapeared off toward a small bridge, ''hes probably headed to Kakariko Village'' she mumbled to herself as she urged Epona to walk into the city toward the path on the other side of the market to the castle. On the way she spotted the upturned cart, gasping she jumped off her horse running to the cart, noticing the absent of one wheel, her father, and the crates, Malon hurried up to Hyrule Castle, running to the kitchen door.
Knocking slightly she stared nervously at the oak wood door willing it to open, shortly a tall built woman answered, having white-ish violet hair and deep purple eyes, staring down at Malon "who are you child?" her voice comanded almost gently. Malon straightend her shoulders "I am Malon daughter of the owner of Lon Lon Ranch, did my father make his delivery yet?" her voice trembled giving away her emotions to this stanger, seeing sadness grow in the woman's eyes.
"Oh your father…"
