. Chapter 19 . - Epona's Song

"We'll need to hurry," Zelda muttered quickly to Link as she walked out of the castle at a quick pace, Link having to jog to keep up.

"Where are we going to go though?" Link asked.

"Back to the woods. It's the safest place I can think of at the moment, all I want to do is get out of Hyrule," Zelda replied.

Link found they were in Hyrule Market, "And if anyone recognises us? You ARE aware that they're going to send a search party to hunt us down."

Zelda didn't stop walking, but it was clear that she hadn't thought of that before, "Well… we'll worry about it when it happens."

"It's going to take a while to cross Hyrule Field," Link stated as they stopped at the drawbridge.

"I was wondering when you wanted your horse back," a voice spoke.

Zelda turned around, immediately recognising the voice, "Malon."

Malon nodded, her ruby coloured tresses bouncing, "It's me. And I've got Epona here too."

Link looked around, "Where?"

Malon hummed a short tune and Epona neighed, trotting towards them, "It's a song that my mother made, I called it Epona's song, she likes it."

Link took out his ocarina and copied the tune, "Like that?"

Epona neighed warmly and Malon smiled, "Yep, exactly like that. It will call her from anywhere."

Zelda smiled, "Thank you Malon."

Malon smiled slightly, "I suppose you're leaving?"

Zelda nodded, but then stopped, "Malon, I think you should come with us."

"Me? Why?" Malon asked, startled.

Zelda's eyes filled with tears so Link hugged her.

"It's Vera… isn't it?" he asked softly.

Zelda nodded as a few tears rolled down her cheek.

"Come," Link told Malon, "It'll be fun."

Malon blushed slightly, "Okay, if you guys want me to."

"There aren't enough horses," Link observed, looking at Epona.

Malon took Epona's reins, "I'll be back, with more horses."

Link and Zelda nodded as they watched Malon ride towards the ranch.

In a few moments, Malon returned, with two more horses.

"Here, Link, Epona is yours, you can have the chestnut one Zelda, and the white one's mine," Malon said, handing Link and Zelda the reins of their horses.

After all three were mounted, they rode to the Kokiri Forest. The sun was rising and they had only a short time until daylight to leave Hyrule.
