Chapter Eight: Traveling back to Vallock
Link and Zelda appeared inside the Temple of Time once again on the Sage's Light Crest where they first teleported themselves from.
They both let go and Link looked into her eyes and began to speak. "Zelda, I must return to Vallock to see Reno." "But Link, I been waiting for you for so many years. I don't want to lose you again!" She said worriedly. "I don't want to let you go! Let me come with you!"
"No, Zelda" He shook his head, "I must do this alone and it may be dangerous for you. Besides, you have a kingdom to run, remember?" He reminded her.
"I can't argue with that. I suppose your right, I do have a responsibility here." She responded, forgetting that she is a queen now and not a princess anymore.
"Then it's agreed, sorry that I have to leave you again Zelda, but this quest may be important. Don't worry though. I will come back to you safely." He assured her, grabbing her gloved hand and placing his other free hand on top of it.
"I understand." She began to glanced down sadly for a moment, then looked at him once more, placing her hand on top of his, "I hope you come back home safely."
"I will Zelda, I promise." He reassured her, hoping that her worries will leave her.
Link and Zelda once again released their grips, sharing one last hug that lasted for only a few seconds then released each other. Zelda given him back the scroll just before Link turned around to leave, just in case it might still be useful to him.
He slowly took the scroll from her hand. He then turned around and headed for the temple entrance, not before he took one last look at her for a few seconds then turn his head ahead of him. He left the temple leaving Zelda behind again like he did seven years ago when he was on his quest to find Navi.
As Link left the temple, he dashed back to the market place to get his horse. He came down the last flight of steps that is connected between the market place and to the Temple of Time. He could see that his horse was taking care of and it appeared that nothing happened to her. The guard that watched her keep his end of the deal.
Link mounted Epona and galloped her out through the castle's main drawbridge that leads out to Hyrule Field. Before he could journey back to Vallock, he needed to keep his word to Malon. That, and he needed to see if she would give him Epona. So he headed back to Lon Lon Ranch.
"Link! What are you doing? Vallock is this way!" Navi directed him.
"I need to keep my word to Malon, I promised her that I will see her again and also, I want to see if she has decided to give me Epona yet." He said to her.
Navi didn't say anything after that, so she just sighed and followed him.
Soon enough, Link galloped Epona through the entrance then slowed down to stop in front her house. It was still day break, so no doubt in his mind that Talon was awake, or was he? Link dismounted Epona then stepped in front of the door and knock on it.
He heard footsteps approaching the door from the other side. The door open half way to reveal itself as Talon.
"Link? Is that you?" He asked wondering.
"Yes it's me." He answered,He looked around then asked, "Is Malon around?"
"Yes she is, she is at the stables feeding the horses. Why do you want to know?" Talon asked curiously.
"Just keeping my word." Is all that Link said.
"Okay..." He said oddly while stroking his beard, "Well, she is at the stables like I said." He reconfirmed Link.
"Alright, thanks Talon." He said. Talon closed the door once Link left for the stables.
Link then approach the stable door and opened it. There, he saw Malon feeding and brushing the horses as Talon told him. Malon turned to Link when he first stepped through the door. Link slowly approached her as she place the brush on a nearby milk crate with a surprised look on her face.
"Link! You came back!" She said happily.
"I told you I would!" He responded, then gave her a sad look, "Unfortunately, I must leave for another quest."
"It won't take you another seven years this time, will it?" She joked, trying to take it well.
"I should say not!" He answered her as he began to laugh. They both shared a laugh for awhile and then, Malon began to speak again.
"Well, I kinda had a feeling that you will be leaving soon. So I came up with THAT decision."
This was the moment Link was waiting for and he braced himself for the decision. "Yes?"
"I have decided that I will give Epona to you! I know that she will aid you on your travels together! Please take good care of her." She said smiling.
"Really? Thank you, Malon! You're the greatest!!" He said excitedly, then he rushed to Malon and gave her a big warm hug as his gratitude and Malon did the same. After awhile, they both release from each other and Malon begin to blush.
"You're welcome, Link." She said gently, "And do please be careful!"
"I will and thanks again!" He replied and then left the stables. While Malon went back to her chores.
Link closed the door behind him. He walked back to HIS horse, climb upon Epona once again. "Link, are you ready to go now?" Navi asked impatiently. "Yes, Navi....Let's go!" And with that, they were off on there way back to Vallock.
A few hours later, nightfall was upon them and they needed a place to stay. I was a long trip back to Vallock since it was eight miles away from Hyrule. But close enough to the Hyrule border. Lucky for them, they were almost there. Link galloped Epona until he saw the deserted town over the horizon. "We're almost there." He said to Navi and Epona.
Later, once they reached the town, Link gallop Epona in a slow pace until he reached Reno's House. It was already dark and Link felt very tired right now. Just as his fairy partner and his horse.
Link dismounted Epona, then guided her by her reins.
As Link was approaching Reno's porch, his door mysteriously opened. There he was, standing near the doorway. As if he was expecting Link to show up! He stepped out of his house and began to speak, "Welcome back, Link! What happened? Did you get lost again?" He joked and begin to laugh.
"Not exactly, I did find my way back to Hyrule alright, but I came back regarding for some information." He corrected him.
Reno stopped laughing after awhile and asked curiously, "Information? What information?"
"I feel very tired, so I will tell you tomorrow." Link said warily, "May I sleep here again tonight?" He asked.
"Of course, Link. I always have room for you." He answered in a friendly manner. "I will take your horse to the stables for you. Go and make yourself at home. Good night Link. I will see you in the morning." He finished.
"Good night and thank you." Link said as he and Navi went inside the house to get some sleep, while Reno took his horse to the stables.
