"Come back here with that!" Relan shouts. Almost every guard turns to the sound. Nabby comes charging through yet again with Relan's medal. Relan is hot on her heels. Nabby is getting smarter; she stays on the rock and to places where she is barely seen. A couple of the guards try to catch her, but all of them fail. Nabooru is standing on the top of the fortress with Gannondorf when she hears the shouting. Both look down to see Nabby dive away from the lunge of a guard. Relan hasn't given up yet. She shouts commands for a blockade, which fails miserably. Nabby starts to head out into the desert, when Nabooru decides enough is enough.
"Nabooru! Don't go out there." She shouts. Nabby stops.
"Why not!?" Nabby calls back. Relan has caught up with her.
"Because it is dangerous for someone who doesn't know the way around." Relan explains. Nabby hands her the medal. "Not bad work though." Nabby smiles.
"Can I learn to ride now?" Nabby pleads. Relan sighs.
"Tell ya what. If you can get a horse, I will teach you to ride." She says. Nabby lights up and runs off. One of the guards comes up to her.
"You realize she is going to try to use her mom's horse." She says. Relan nods.
"Yeah, I know." Relan heads back up to the range.

"Relan! I got a horse!" Nabby calls leading a stark black mare up to the range. Relan looks up. When Nabby gets over the final hill, she sees that Gannondorf is there as well. Next to him is another stark black stallion.
"Good. I can teach you both at the same time." Relan says. She goes over to the mare. "This is your mother's horse. Does she know you have it?" Nabby nods.
"Can we get on with this?!" Gannondorf shouts. Relan calmly turns to him.
"Patience is needed when dealing with horses. Especially Gerudo Stallions." She says indicating the other horse. "Now, let's see if you two can even get up on them." Gannon tries to just swing up, but the horse has other ideas and takes a couple of steps away, causing Gannon to fall on his face. Nabby is being a bit more cautious. She carefully approaches the mare, and pets her on the nose. When the horse seems more comfortable, she goes to the side and uses the stirrups to climb up. When Gannon gets up, Nabby is sitting high on the mare. Gannon tries again, and finally gets up on the stallion. He shoots a look of pure ice at Nabby. Nabby pretends not to notice. Relan is standing between them.
"Not bad. Gannondorf, you need to be a bit more careful. These horses are strong. They CAN kill." Gannon gives her a curt nod, but nothing else. Relan continues on. "Now take a quick walk around the range." For a moment, nothing happens.
"Ummmmmm.....Relan?" Nabby finally says. "How do you get her to move?" Relan chuckles.
"Use your heels and squeeze gently." She responds. Nabooru does so, and the horse starts moving. Gannon doesn't seem to understand 'gently' and ends up almost kicking it. The horse starts a full gallop, and Gannon can barely hang on. Relan cries out and quickly mounts her own horse. Nabby turns and moves her horse over to Gannon's. She quickly grabs the reins and manages to get it to stop. Relan trots up next to them.
"Good work Nabooru." She says. Gannon is still catching his breath. "Are you all right?" Relan asks Gannon. He nods.
"Why did it go so fast!?" he shouts when he has the breath.
"Because you told it to." Relan says. "You kicked it, and it ran." Gannon looks down.
"Can I try archery?" Nabby says. Relan laughs.
"Not yet. You may have mastered standing archery, but horseback is totally different. Master riding first, then we'll talk. Same for you Gannon." Gannon nods. Then they call it a day.
