The Legend of Zelda: Ganon's Return
Chapter 1: Breaking Akino
Malon stood looking at the corral. She had finally finished cleaning up the ranch and she was exhausted. 'Those Gorons really know how to party,' she thought happily.
"Malon! Malon, child! Ingo is getting mad because you aren't helping him feed Akino," Talon ran up to her, slightly panting, "That mare is turning out just like her mother, eh, Malon?" Malon rolled her eyes and walked towards the stables, happy to be able to see Akino but not too excited to have the oh-so-wonderful privilege of getting a lecture from Ingo. As she stepped into the stable Ingo looked up from his troubling attempt to feed Akino. Malon laughed and Ingo glared at her though not too seriously because he knew how funny he must have looked.
"Malon! You better not be laughing at me! Calm Akino down already!" he cried as the horse nearly kicked his head.
"Alright! Don't be so impatient!" Malon began singing Epona's Song and as Akino calmed down Ingo cleaned out the stall, filled it with new hay and fed Akino her share of oats. When he was done he moved on to the next horse just as Malon finished the ending of the song. "Works like a charm," she half smirked.
"Shut up. Now you can take Akino for a ride," Ingo said, trying to wipe that smirk off her face, he knew how much she hated chores. He was surprised when he saw her smile. "Why are you smiling?"
"Because I broke Akino yesterday. She's a calm horse now. Just not around you," replied Malon. Her smile breaking into a grin. Ingo sighed and pushed the saddle and reins towards her. "I don't need a saddle!" she complained.
"Your father's rules," he said as he dug a shovel into the oats bucket and dumped the horse food into the trough.
Malon groaned as she put the heavy saddle on Akino and lead her outside.
************************************************************************
In the corral, she pet the horse's nose after she tied the reins securely around Akino's head. Climbing onto the saddle, she kicked and shouted for Akino to start. Akino jolted into a gallop, first, surprising Malon and then knocking her off. "Ouch! Akino. what was that for! You were fine yesterday!"
"Maybe you shouldn't have kicked her, Malon. That startled her. Should've started off with a squeeze or something," a voice behind her said, startling her. She whirled around to face Link.
"You scared me!" she yelled, "What do you want?"
"I came to help with the cleaning. But of course I see that everything's fine and dandy. Everything's clean and neat. Except the horse, who happens to be having a terrific time throwing you off of her."
"Shut up, it's none of your business how I break a horse," she said.
"Yeah, and I grew as a Goron. You know you need help. I bet you didn't even break Epona."
"No. no I didn't but I broke the other horses," she said proudly. She wasn't about to let him hurt her pride.
"Ok, let me help you."
"You only came to help with the cleaning not with breaking a horse. She's already broken anyway. Yesterday she was perfectly obedient. Unlike today. It must be you who's spooking her!"
Link laughed, to be around a ranch girl was more amusing than any princess. 'Especially this ranch girl. What? Where'd that come from?' He stopped laughing, the smile still on his face, as he heard footsteps approach them. He turned to see Talon, Malon's laid-back father that always seemed forgiving.
"Link! How are you, my boy? To what pleasure do I owe this visit?" he asked, hoping that he didn't want anymore bottles or milk.
"I came to help Malon break this horse of hers." Link looked at Malon, and she glanced back at him, and then turned to her father nodding shyly. She didn't want to admit that she also wanted to be his friend, maybe even more. But she knew that he must already love Princess Zelda. After all they've been through together he has to have fallen in love with the Princess and the Princess must've fallen for Link.
"Oh of course. I'll leave you two alone, thank you for helping Link," Talon waved to them and headed for the windmill, probably to get more crates ready for the next delivery. This left Link and Malon in a silent state alone.
"So let's get started shall we?" he said to break the silence. Malon could only nod; something had gotten stuck in her throat not allowing her to talk. "Get on Akino, for starters. That's essential to all riding. in case you didn't know." Malon didn't laugh. "Ok. well, aren't you getting on the horse?" She shook her head. "Why? And are you just going to shake or nod your head?"
"Actually, I wanted to see how long it would take for you to notice! Now first I'd like to see Epona, or did you walk here?" she looked to him for an answer, "Fine! Just show me your so called breaking skills."
Link climbed onto Akino. He shouted a 'giddyap' and Akino broke into a gallop throwing Link off her back and making him land on his own back. Malon couldn't hold it in. She laughed so hard that she fell to the ground and continued her laughter. Link got up and walked to her, a scowl covered his face. "Get up." Malon stood, still laughing. Link called for Akino and as the horse stopped beside him, he grabbed the still laughing Malon around the waist and hoisted her onto Akino. She stopped laughing immediately as she realized what Link was going to do.
"Don't you dare!" she practically screamed. He slapped Akino's backside as hard as he could sending Malon on a bucking frenzy on top of Akino. Amazingly, she held on. The horse suddenly stopped, jerking her forward in the saddle, she was still on so she tried to get the horse to walk. When she clicked Akino didn't jump into a gallop, she started on a small walk around the corral. "Look Link! She's broken! Akino's broken! Thank you!"
Link only smiled. He didn't know it would help but he was glad that it did work. 'And I thought that I would be getting my revenge on her.' ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^
