Chapter 2:Eponas ill
Link entered Hyrule Valley sniffing the fresh air. "Link where do you think we should go?" Navi asked. "Lets go see Malon. I haven't visited her in awhile."
Link and Navi walked up to the Ranch. When Link entered he saw Malon by the gate crying. "Hey whats wrong?" Malon looked up in surprise then relaxed. "Oh its you fairy b-"
"Call me Link."
"Oh ok. Well you see Epona's very ill and is dying." "What? Where is she?" Link asked. Malon got up wiping tears from her eyes. "Follow me." She lead Link to there barn and went in. "There." She pointed tears still running down her cheeks.
Epona was laying on some hay looking very weak. "The Veterinarian says theres nothing he can do. She'll die soon." Malon started to cry tremendously. "Its not fair Link. Shes way too young." "Epona." Link whispered to himself. He kneeled near the sick horse. Eponas eyes where looking sorrowful. "Malon there might be away." Malon looked at him. "How?!" She asked. "One of my friends may be able to heal Epona. "I hope she can its Eponas last hope." "Don't worry." Link looked down at her. "I'll be back soon. In the mean time play that song Epona enjoys." "Ok." Then Link ran out the door.
While Navi and Link ran in Hyrule Field Navi asked "Link who could save Epona?" "Saria." Link replied. "Shes good with all kinds of animals. Shes so gentle and helps them allot." Link ran as fast as he could toward Kokiri Village.
When he arrived he was greeted by one of his friends. "Hi Link. Where have you been?" "Its a long story Nakoh I'll explain it later. Wheres Saria its an emergency?" "Shes out near the pond in the Lost Woods." Nakoh replied. "Thanks well talk later I'm sort of in a hurry."
Link climbed up the vines and when he got up he stood face to face with Mido, what luck. "So Link where have you been while we where working?" "I was ughh.." Link replied knowing Mido wouldn't believe him. "We where here working our butts off while you had fun." "Fun isn't exactly the word. Its more like danger." "What do you mean?" Link sighed then said "I traveled through time saving the past and future defeating all evil that got in my way."
Mido looked at him. Then smirked "Yea and I'm the King of Hyrule." "Hey Mido you and this land owe him a thank you at least." Navi butted in. "All I owe him is some boards and nails to build on the new house." He gestured. "I knew you wouldn't believe me." "Dumb excuses aren't going to let you get away with this." "Oh brother." Link rolled his eyes. "I'm sort of in a hurry." "You're leaving again, so soon? I don't think so buddy."
Link thought how he could get out of this. Then he had an idea. He winked at Navi. "Ok Mido you got me." Then he looked at Navi. "...Oh yea we where real bad." "Lets go work Navi." Then Link walked back toward the vines. "Hey I get to go first I have more important things." Mido said pushing Link aside. Link was now getting a little mad but didn't say anything.
"I'll be right down I gotta tie my shoe." He yelled. Mido was at the bottom. "Hurry up slow boy." Mido replied waiting with his back to the vines. Unknown to him Link and Navi where running up to Lost Woods. He looked down waiting then he realized something. "Link our shoes don't have laces!!" "..Link?! ...LINK!!!" He yelled then saw him enter Lost Woods. "DARN YOU LINK!!!!!!!!" Mido yelled. He didn't bother to chase him. After all it wasn't called Lost Woods for nothing.
Link ran with Navi knowing every turn by heart to where Saria was. As he made his way through the bushes him and Navi talked. "That was a great idea Link." Navi complemented. "Thanks, at first I didn't think it was going to work. I can just see the face on Mido right now." Link and Navi laughed a bit.
Suddenly they reached Saria. She was looking down at a bird in her hand humming her tune. Saria didn't even notice Link. He played his Ocarina the same tune Saria was humming. Saria looked up in surprise. "LINK!" Saria yelled running to him giving her best friend a big hug. "How was your journey? I want you to tell me all about it." "Later. I'm in a hurry and your the only one I know that can help." "Oh. How?" "Well at Lon Lon Ranch in Hyrule field theres this young horse named Epona. Her owner is a good friend of mine. And even in the future I own it. The horse is dying and I was wondering if you could heal it."
"I see." Saria pondered of a way. "There is one place." Saria got up walking as Link was beside her. "This is a place I help injured animals in the forest if its beyond even my power to help them. Promise not to tell anyone." "Of course." Saria lifted up her necklace and it started to glow. A rock against the wall split in half. "This way."
The two came to a fairy fountain except the fairies where green instead of pink. "Whoa awesome." Link said. "This place was for when Kokiri animals and people get very ill or are hurt bad. Do you have a pink fairy?" "Ugh yea. Right here." Link got out a bottle with a fairy in it. "Good." Saria got out a bottle and opened it. Suddenly a fairy went in on its own. "Wow how did you do that the fairies I catch are a pain." Link asked in surprise. "They know its for a good cause."
"Why do we need my fairy?" "Well the Kokiri fairy won't work on anything but Kokiri things. So if we mix the regular fairy, which doesn't work on animals, with this one it will be able to heal Epona." "How do they mix... or do I already know if you know what I mean." Saria giggled. "No its different than that. I'll show you."
They went back out. Saria turned toward the rock with the necklace. Then the rock went back without a crack. "So you're the only one who has access to it?" Link asked. "Yes, The Great Deku choose me along time ago." "Cool." He muttered. "Put your fairy on the grass. Link did as he was told then Saria lifted the top of both a let the Kokiri fairy in with Links fairy. Then she put the lids back on.
The two fairies swirled around each other making bright colors. "Are you sure they ugh.. well..ughhhh... ya know.. umm.." Saria started laughing hard. "No Link they're about to mix. There are liitle to no boy and girl fairies haa ha ha."
Then they watched the two, separate, then emerge together to make a more faded color green. "That should cure the horse if you open the bottle within two feet of it." "Wow thanks Saria. Hey how about you come with me. That way I can explain my journey you, Nakoh, and Malon shes the owner." "Ok." Saria smiled.
The two walked back to the village. Nakoh had been near by. "Hey Nakoh why don't you come with us to heal the horse. I could tell you about my journey." "What about Mido?" Nakoh asked. "Don't worry I'm going to talk with him later, he'll listen to me." Saria replied. "Ok." Nakoh, Link, and Saria exited the village.
Mido had been working with other Kokiri kids on building a house. He was giving orders (Wow thats a suprise). Then he saw Link leave. "LINK GET BACK HERE NOW!! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOUR GOING??!!!" Mido yelled. Link didn't hear him at all. "LIN-" Mido was cut off when he got bonked on the head by a fallen board. "HEY WATCH WHAT YOU'RE DOING IDIOT!!" He yelled with rage.
Link and the others arrived at Lon Lon Ranch in no time. "Over here com'on." Link lead.
They entered where Malon had been with Epona. As soon as the door opened she stopped singing her tune "Link you came back." "I said I would." Link smiled. "Oh and these are my friends Saria and Nakoh. Sarias the one that helped me get the cure for Epona." "Hi." Saria waved. "Hey." Nakoh nodded.
"Wheres the medicine?" Malon asked. "Here." Link got out his bottle. "Wow thats it... what is it?" "Its a special fairy." "Oh.." Malon looked at it closely. "Thank you all." "Oh Link I almost forgot when we let the fairy on Epona I need to play my song. Its said to help guide them." "Ok. Malon, Nakoh stand back for a second." Link said.
Saria and Link knelt down aside Epona. Saria brushed the horses silky hair. "Ready?" He asked. Sara nodded. Link put the bottle over Epona and let it go. Saria started to play Sarias song and the horse settled down and relaxed. Epona wasn't scared at all luckily.
They all watched in amazement as the fairy hovered above Epona, circling, letting some green dust like stuff on her. Then it made a bright light and disappeared. Once it was gone Epona slowly got up on her feet. "Oh my gosh it worked, it worked!!!" Malon cried with joy. "Thank you Link thank you Saria." "The pleasures all mine." Saria replied happily. "Your welcome Malon. I couldn't just sit here and let her die." Link smiled.
"....I know how I can repay you. You can have Epona." "What are you sure?!" Link asked surprised. "Yes. Your the only one I know that Epona trusts and who will care for other than me. Eponas a very special horse, she needs to get out and run around. Its almost like a favor for me." "Well... if you really feel like that Ok Thanks." "Its the least I can do." Malon smiled and got Epona to move out of the stable.
"Lets go outside." Malon said to everyone. When they where on the grass Malon whispered to Epona "Link is your owner now. You'll finally get to run in Hyrule field. Goodbye." Then almost like Epona understood english she put her head on Malons shoulder as she gave her a hug. Then Epona went over to Link.
"Hey Link what about your story?" Nakoh reminded him. "Oh yea. Thanks Nakoh. Malon do you want to here what happen in the future with me?" "The Future?" Malon asked confused. "I'll explain. You guys can sit down on that bench.
Link entered Hyrule Valley sniffing the fresh air. "Link where do you think we should go?" Navi asked. "Lets go see Malon. I haven't visited her in awhile."
Link and Navi walked up to the Ranch. When Link entered he saw Malon by the gate crying. "Hey whats wrong?" Malon looked up in surprise then relaxed. "Oh its you fairy b-"
