Author's Notes: This story takes place after Ocarina of Time when Link went back and regained his past. Malon, Link and Zelda are about 16 in this fic. As a result of the Ocarina of Time Adventure not occurring yet, most of the game's events are not present in this story. This is my first fic, so constructive criticism is extremely welcome. This may be the whole story or it may be chapter 1, depending on the reviews I receive.
Malon sang outside in the middle of the large, open, Lon Lon Ranch field, the same as every night. She gently pet her best friend Epona, a gorgeous red mare with a white flowing mane and tail, a white blaze across her face and an adventurous spirit.
After the sun set each day, Malon would sing in the field with Epona and reflect on her deepest thoughts and desires. For a small farm girl, Malon had big dreams. She secretly wanted to escape it all for a suspenseful life of adventure. She wanted to be free and careless, wandering Hyrule Field like a lost poe.
Malon had often though of running away. Her father Talon was lazy and Malon worked harder than a girl her age should, but she knew her dad loved her with all his heart, despite his terrible working habits. Talon and the stone wall surrounding the entire ranch were the only things that kept Malon from leaving. She felt the urge to escape from her safe, but sheltered life not only for adventure, but also to fulfill her deepest desire, which was that a knight in shining armour would sweep her off her feet. The romantic girl wanted to fall in love, and she did not feel that this would happen while milking cows.
Malon mounted Epona. She'd jumped the horse over many high jumps, but the one she was about to jump was like no other. The only entrance to Lon Lon Ranch was fenced in at night, and the rest of the ranch was surrounded by tall, heavy, stone walls to protect the animals from being stolen. The walls were about a meter high, and the ranch itself was also elevated a meter from the rest of the ground, so Epona would have over two meters of air before freedom.
Malon took a deep breath and thought it over before galloping in the direction of the fence. Epona needed adventure just as much as her owner. Malon gave Epona a gentle kick to the sides Their speed increased along with Malon's confidence, as they approached the stone barrier. Before they knew it, they were soaring to freedom.
