I rekindled my passion for writing Zelda fanfics now and came up with this story. Its just getting started so bare with me as I try to finish this before its extinguished.

Disclaimer: Do I have to go through this damn legal process? Sigh, I do not own anything of Zelda (though I wish I do) and therefore only write this work for fun and no damn cash. The thing I do own is original character I made up for the fic but that's it.

The Name is,

Dark, cloudy skies were blanketed over the land of Hyrule, hiding the pale moon. In a short time, droplets fell from the heavens, becoming more and more frequent which soon became a heavy shower. The rain fell hard and the strong winds that came with it made it even worse.

A man walked the dirt path leading to Lon Lon Ranch. Closely following him was a horse being lead by the reign in his hands. He continued along the earthen pathway and seemingly unbothered by the sudden change in the weather. The same couldn't be said about his horse. It often shook his head in a feeble attempt to be dry but the rain wouldn't let up.

Talon found himself in a hurry to bring in all the horses to their stables before they became too disgruntled by the heavy rain. He could've done so earlier, like he should have, but was too deep in his afternoon nap. Finally bringing them all in, Talon dug in his pocket and fished out his keys to start locking up. As he was about to, he noticed someone entering the ranch.

A young man, better said to be around the age of his daughter, brought with him a steel gray horse when he entered. His short, scarlet red hair clung to his face. The long, white jacket he wore didn't seem to give him much protection from the rain and was soaked through. An unnerving trait to him was his same colored eyes that seemed to bore into his very soul.

Talon shook off the feeling those eyes gave him turned once again to the young man that was right next to him, "I'm sorry sir but we are closed up since the weather is much to appalling for any service to a horse and it is after hours. If you would come back tomorrow when the weather has cleared up a bit, and maybe not so late."

"After being soaked to the bone, you won't accept my horse?" The young man said, his voice had a very likeable tone to it, strong and decent, "How about we make a deal?" He reached into his jacket and pulled out a large wallet, "Everything in this wallet is yours, just take the horse."

Talon eyed him suspiciously.

"Don't believe me huh?" he handed the wallet to Talon, "Go on check what's inside."

Talon opened the wallet up. His eyes couldn't believe what they were looking at. The wallet was filled with only purple and orange rupees. Talon closed the bag and turned his attention the young man once again.

"Deal?" asked the young man.

"I need a name sir," Talon retorted.

He smiled, "Do you need mine or the horse's?"

"Need yours, sir. Just for the sake of keeping this horse yours," Talon responded.

"The name is Vincent," the young man said. "The horse's is Elliptus. Wouldn't want him to catch a nasty cold, had him since I was 14. Glad you could take him, I heard such good things about this ranch it seemed that if anyone else were to take care of him, it wouldn't be up to his standards."

"Do you need a place to stay?" Talon asked Vincent concerned for the young man who seemed to care more for his horse than his well being.

"No, no, I have somewhere to stay. I better start getting there too." Vincent said in a chuckle. He gave the reigns to Talon and turned on his heel and started walking towards the exit. He quickly turned around as if forgetting something. " Before I go, I need to tell you the Elliptus will behave, which he will not when he is with someone new, with apples. A bribe if you care to think of it as anything else."

Talon nodded and walked the new horse towards the stables. He glanced back to see the young man off but he was already starting to exit the ranch.

Short I know but this is how the thing begins. An arrival of someone new, any thoughts on how he will end up affecting the story? Well one thing is for certain, you ain't gonna find out next chapter.

UPDATE 05/08/05: I've taken the time to go over this story and see if I could expand and correct mistakes.
