.The young boy sat beneath a tree quite happily, his eyes closed and a familiar green hat pulled over his face. Green tunic, secured by a belt, was his upper protection as a pair of white shorts were his lower garments. Placed to the side for now was a shield of excellent craftsmanship, being of some blue metal with the designs of three triangles adorning the center. On top of that was a sword of equal quality, sheathed in a scabbard of leather and bound with white clothe. Legs spread out, boots kicked to the side, and arms behind his head, this boy looked to be the epitome of relaxation.until a shadow came up from the side of the tree. The sound of its hooves were almost inaudible, especially to the slumbering boy.then, without warning.Epona's head shot down, her teeth catching onto Link's hat and yanking it up, exposing his face to sunlight. With a tired groan, Link slowly sat up, shielding his eyes from the light , while reaching a hand up to snatch his hat back from the horse. ".I was sleeping quite well, I hope you know." Link mumbled.
Epona simply let out a whinny of satisfaction, then ducked her head down to nuzzle Link's head. A smile crept upon his face as his arms went around Epona's neck, giving her a gentle hug, and letting his cheek rub against the warm nose of his friend. "I guess I can't sleep forever." Link chuckled, "Besides.we're almost there."
Standing up, Link quickly pulled his hat back on, and then arranged his gear upon his back. He was quite a bit older now.perhaps thirteen or fourteen. He had filled out quite nicely, having good muscle tone (obvious from his bare arms), but not so much as to take away from his slender elven figure. Hands behind his head, the boy slipped into his boots, then started to walk through this dense forest, his trusted companion matching his pace step for step. Link looked a bit preoccupied, though.he had been very caught up in his thoughts since he had decided to return to Hyrule. He wasn't sure what was making him go back.he had had enough adventure for two lifetimes in Termina. Yet, even though he pressed onward after that, deeper and further away from Hyrule.he found nothing that sparked his soul like it had in his home country. So, he had started to go back the way he had come.passing the "rabbit hole" that took him to Termina only a day or two ago. "I wonder if anyone'll remember me.it has been three years." Link mused to Epona, casting her a glance out of the corner of his blue eyes.
Epona seemed to nod her head once or twice, then stomped her front legs. Link couldn't help but laugh at that, and nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I know.I'm stupid to think like that."
Suddely, Link had to stop.Well, for one, he had reached the edge of the forest, which dipped into a little bit of a ravine. However, what had caused the young Hylian to stop was the view he had from this little vantage point.he one more gazed over the entirety of Hyrule, his home. With a smile, he looked to Epona, then back to the land stretched out before him. "We're home."
Chapter One: A Heartfelt Return to the Land of Hyrule
A warm breeze ran through the open fields of this beautiful land, just as Link had remembered it. Having mounted Epona some time back, Link raced through the tall grass, dust and pollen kicking up in his wake as he let out a shout of enjoyment. It was so exhilarating to race through the fields just at the crack of dawn.and without the threat of zombies anymore, it made the experience all the more worthwhile. "Faster Epona! The sunrise is beating us!" Link shouted happily.
Never one to disappoint her knight, Epona kicked in her full speed, galloping full throttle and jumping the ever present fences that dotted the field's entirety. Finally, though, Epona came to a steady halt at a cross road. Link knew this place all too well.to the East would be Lon Lon Ranch, and to the West.Hyrule Castle. "Hmm.Who should we go see first, girl?" Link asked, "Malon or Zelda?"
Of course, that was a foolish question to ask to this horse, Without so much as a warning, she was off in full gallop again towards the East. Hanging tightly, Link could only laugh. "You're the boss."
.A young girl stood in a fenced in area in the Lon Lon Ranch, humming a sweet tune as she ran a brush through a horse's mane. Her fiery red hair fell down to her mid-back, and her simple ranch dress was covered with hairs and dirt from the day's chores. Across from her, in a chair by the ranch house, was good old Talon, asleep and rocking back and forth lazily. His snoring almost covered up the sweet melody of an ocarina filling the air.ocarina? Malon's eyes widened slightly, as she was quick to turn around. Just in time, it seemed, for she caught that blonde-haired fairy boy trotting on into the ranch, playing the sing she had taught him upon his blue ocarina. "Fairy boy?!" She shouted excitedly, dropping the brush to race forward and hop the fence, landing and still running.
It was good to see someone happy to see him, Link thought to himself. Stopping after a few moments, he tucked his ocarina into his tunic and slid of the side of Epona, only to be hugged (more like tackled to the ground.) by Malon. "You're back! You're finally back!" "Nice to see you too." Link replied with a grin.
Realizing that she had just tackled her good friend to the ground, she quickly got up and offered a hand down to him. Link graciously accepted it and was pulled up, then reaching back to wipe his back side off, he looked to Malon with another smile. "How have you been.it's been awhile." "Three years -is- quite a long time." Malon stated, turning around with a sudden mood swing, "I should be angry at you for being gone so long." "Aw, Malon, I." "But." She cut him off, turning around and smiling, "I'm too happy to see you. Dad! Dad, wake up! Fairy boy's back!"
Talon suddenly fell out of his chair with a loud "Wahh!". Standing up, and rubbing his rump (not meant to rhyme, honest ^_^), Talon looked out, and indeed saw that his daughter wasn't just spending too much time in the hay-pen again. "Why, if I'm not a cuckoo's uncle.Link, my friend!" Talon shouted heartily, waving a large hand at him.
Post haste, Link found his hand in that of Malon's and quickly being pulled into the ranch house, followed by Talon carrying a large case of milk. Sitting Link down, Malon quickly got three glasses and poured them each a glass, then sat down beside her father on one end of the table, while Link gladly took the chance to gulp down the fresh milk. "Well, son, I reckon its been quite some time since I last laid eyes on you." Talon said with a nod, drinking some of his beverage, "You said somethin' about finding yourself or whatnot.how'd that go?" "Well.very well, actually." Link replied, thinking back to his adventure in the alternate universe. "Well, finding yourself must have been some adventure. Look at you! You're all grown up now." Malon giggled out, pointing at his arm. "Oh, this?" Link said, taking the opportunity to show off that muscle of his, "I know.I guess I worked myself hard these past three years." "Hey, you have to tell us some of what you did! I'm dying to know." Malon told him.
Link rubbed the back of his head a bit, looking down at his feet, then back up. Where was he to begin? Perhaps in Termina.no.no, that would be too complicated to explain. They'd think he'd eaten some mushroom in the forest and dreamed the whole thing up. There were his adventures in Amberia.and then there was.no.that wasn't something he was willing to share. "Well.I guess I'll start with the first fun one I had.it all happens in this country called.Amberia."
Well, that's all I could come up with. Bear with me now, I am writing this the night before my Math final and I cannot sleep. If people like it, I'll start up the next chapter.I have a great idea of where this whole thing can go. Well, until next time. ~Shinta
