In the midst of pure silence, a sudden explosion occurs, hereby getting rid of the silence. From the smoke emerges a figure, rising from the floor with arms outstretched in front, much like a zombie.

Dark: I LIIIIIIIIIVVVE! Heh, sorry, couldn't resist. And no, I do not own Mushu or Mulan. Well, anyway, YES! I am back! Contrary to what you all thought, no doubt. My excuse: Heh, I have none, other than school sucks. Yes, sad sad. Well, now that I'm back, time to say one major thing to all of my readers: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'msorryI'msorryI'msorryImsorryImsorryimsorryimsorryimsorry, I'M SORRY! Please forgive me. Please still read my story. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Ahem, now. I have one more item of business. I finally figured out how to type that little 'e' with the accent above. Boo-yah! Yes, sad, I know; I am offically not gifted with computers. Anyway, hopefully now I can type the chapters with the correct spellings for names, like Delyn and Nejora, who both have accented 'e's in the manuscript. That only problem right now, is that everytime I go to correct it on the edit page of this website, I get this search menu pop up on my computer for a random website. So I am going to work on it. And now, after MUCH waiting, chapter 33.

Chapter 33

Riding out onto Hyrule Field, Link and Nabooru were greeted to the sight of a group of Gerudos on horseback coming from the northwest. Their horses, larger than Epona, were advancing quickly. Link steered Epona the opposite direction, heading towards Kokiri Forest.

"Nice move back there, kid!" Nabooru yelled over Link's shoulder. "Lovely way to make Nejora mad!"

"No time for that now," Link replied. "Here," he said, giving Nabooru the reins, "Steer Epona." Nabooru leaned awkwardly around Link while he got out his bow and turned to the advancing thieves. The closest Gerudo was a horse and a half distance away. The Gerudo raised her spear in attack, but Link shot her with an arrow before she could throw it. Another Gerudo came up, and she received the same treatment as the last. Five more had arrows in them before Nabooru asked, "Where do I go?"

Link took the reins back in one hand and guided her around a Peahat. The Peahat, disturbed from its nest, rose up out of the ground with its blades spinning rapidly. From the cries behind him, Link could tell the Peahat had taken its revenge on the Gerudos. Link let out a laugh of triumph.

"There's still more coming!"

Link handed the bow back to Nabooru. "Then use my arrows to fend them off!" Nabooru took some arrows from the quiver hanging from Epona's saddle and began firing them. As they approached the path to Kokiri Forest, Link made an abrupt turn northeast. Nabooru teetered sideways and grabbed the back of Link's tunic to catch her balance.

"Put out a warning next time you're going to do that!" Link grinned as the turn in course caused the Gerudos to stop and lose a few seconds on their pursuit. Approaching Hyrule Field's one river, Link sped up Epona's pace. "Come on, girl, you can do this!" Link whispered in Epona's ear as she leaped over the river and onto the other side. She continued into the archway that was the entrance to Zora's River.

Dark: Crap, short chapter. Which means I gotta do another to appeal to the readers. Okay! I'll do it!
