Malon sat on Link's outside porch. She traced the rings of the wood with her foot. Her heart felt like it was floating on air. Could her life get any better? She could her Link snooring. Aw, he had such a cute snore! She got up, her white dress stained from the journey she had had the night before. Her hair was tangled and she sighed while trying to tame it. Just then she heard a loud shout from the entrance of the Forest.
"MALON!!!!! ARE YOU IN HERE! WHAT DID THAT FAIRY BOY DO TO YOU?" Talon shouted.
"Oh, father! I'm sorry it just that...well we were being attacked by these--"
"Enough!" The chubby man cried. "I was so worried. And I have bad news. You need to go home right now."
Link ran out of his house in his under-roos. "What's going on? Malon? Talon?"
"Malon needs to go home, boy. Thank you anyway, for trying to bring her home.
"Well...okay. Bye Malon."
"Bye!" she waved violently as she mounted Epona. Talon had led the horse into the small vilage to carry Malon home. As she turned to ride home she whispered: "Good-bye, my true love."

As the father and daughter made a mad dash back to Lon Lon Ranch, Talon began to slow down. His mud-colored horse neighed with relief as the man dismounted.
"Why are you stopping, Father?" Malon asked as Epona halted beside Talon.
"Sweetheart, Lon Lon Ranch doesn't belong to me anymore." Talon swallowed hard. "I want you to stay there with Ingo."
"But--but why?" Malon's voice craked mid question. Suddenly memories of the bitter man Ingo raced through her mind.
"Malon, it's for the best. Just promise me you'll sell our milk proudly?" Talon reached for Malon's hand. The river beside them rushed violently. The moon rose slowly and the drawbridge to the Market Place was about to be rose.
"I am going to Kakariko Village. But don't come looking for me. Just go home, now! As quick as you can before the zombies rise. We'll meet again. I promise." Talon let go of his weeping daughter's hand. His own leaking eyes had been hidden in the shadows but it was no use. Malon new her father was upset.
"I promise Daddy. I love you." Malon dismounted her horse as well and gave her father a hug.
"And I love you. Now go."
And Malon rode to her home in Lon Lon Ranch.
