Many of my days have passed by, galloping around on a open, wet and muddy field - Not as a wild creature, but simply as a help in war. Every day, I would risk my life, for the man on my back, while I fought for his justice - As a horse, I do not know justice, or rather, I am not suppose to know justice, I simply believe that the person on my back, knows what he is doing, and believes what he fights for - If that's the case, my job is simply to stay by his side no matter how the battlefield treats us.
I will not make my human sound like a bad person, he treated me well, but for each day I would see him loose a little more of hope in our fight - Having fighting the last five years, all he eventually wished for, was peace - Unable to make his wish come true, he kept fighting - Every day ending out sitting exhausted by the fire, treating freshly battle wounds - He would pat my back, and give me a smile - The smile weakening for every day that passed.
What I am trying to say is.. My rider, was dying. - Not that he would ever go down without a fight, but he was surely weakening. - Still he would get on my back, on the last day, fighting for what he believed. - Even though I am but a horse, I admired him, I admired what he did for the things whom he believed. - I made my way to the battle field, as I had done the past few years, but, today was different, my rider felt in unease, restless. - As soon as we could see the field, he yelled out, and softly kicked me sides, making me change my gait to gallop.
I will not tell exactly what happend to him, but at the evening, I made a run for it, I could feel dead limbs in my sadle - I did not panic, I just wished to get him out of harms way, but I was too late - When I crossed Hyrule Field he fell of, feeling the weight from my back disappear, I quickly turned around to see him lying lifeless on the ground - I trotted back to him, pushing him with my muzzle, hoping that he would miraculously wake up, and give me a smile - But that was sadly not the case.
Slowly the sun went down, spreading a beautiful light over the land of Hyrule - I decided that the time had come, I had to leave the body of my rider - My eyes looked at him once more, before I turned to face the path to Faron Woods, slowly walking my way towards the woods, never turning to look back. - That was my life, whatever was to come next, would be my new life, and the woods seemed to be the best place to stay for the night however. - The smell of trees, calming my mind from the days hardships.
The forests animals followed me curiously as I made my way through the woods, just staring at all the stuff I had on my back, the whole home from a man in war. - Something hit my senses, I could hear a human, I would say, a small human. - I continued untill I was close to a hot spring, I stopped, watching a small human child with long pointy ears run around in the spring, his pants drenched in the hotsprings water - He was carrying a stick, using it as a sword, as he was attacking what seemed to be nothing (humans have a good imagination).
I snorted, as I continued to watch the child - Something about him, made me happy - The way he unconcerned played he was in war, hopefully not aware how bloody war really is - I made my move, slowly walking towards the hot spring, having not been able to relax and drink (not to mention eat) the whole day, a small human child was not one to keep me away from the spring. - Suddenly the child turned around, looking up at me, as I proceeded to lean down my head, to drink. As I did so, I kept watching the child who almost looked like he was in shock - I will not blame him, I am a rather big horse, presumably a lot bigger in his eyes.
As I was done drinking, I turned my head to the child who just kept staring, with a glint of amazement in his eyes. - I kept still, hoping that he would calm down. - He reached out, that small hand, landing on my muzzle - It was then I realised, that my last life, with my rider, had really ended, but that my new life, was already to begin - This child, was more than enough to give me what I wished for, I could feel it all from that little touch - He was the one, I was willing to give my life for. - The hand left my muzzle, and he gave me a smile, giggling as he turned his back to me, and ran deeper into the woods.
Having found my new life, I would not just stay here and watch him leave, so I followed him. - After passing trough a narrow path, yet a plot of forest showed up - The child I had followed was also here, with a man, a woman and a even younger little child, tied safely to the womans back. - It was like the boy was trying to explain how he found me, exept no words left his mouth, he showed to two adults, didn't tell them, like the human I had earlier taken care of. - If he was to tell others something, he would open his mouth, and say something.
It seemed as if the adults understood the child, and they looked up towards me, as I walked up to the boys side - After a short talk between the adults, they patted the child on the head, and told him that he could keep me, but had to let me leave, if I wished. - I could clearly see there was more to it than simply a child pleading (what I assumed was) his parents to keep a horse, the man did look a lot at my saddle that was still packed with stuff from my last owner. - Never the less, they seemed to be ok with it, not that their opinion would really matter to me, I would continue to follow the child - They were not to worry about feeding me, I was able to take care of myself.
