Author's Notes: This Hyrule slightly differs from the Hyrule that you all know from the Ocarina of Time and such. I had to change it so that she could come in through the ocean, and there is no ocean in the real Hyrule. And... there are a few more differences, just try to ignore them. The thing is, I don't own the game any more...-curses brother for selling it- so I can't really remember a lot of where things are. But I do remember a few things...-sigh- Just clearing things up for ya'll. Now on with the the next chapter... Enjoy! Please tell me what you think. XD

Chapter Two

When the late evening began to approach, Kamiri could start to see land bordering the horizon.

"Finally..." she thought. She began to get her things together, and threw all of her moldy food off the ship. She would get some new food when she had finished docking. She couldn't wait to walk into town and meet some new people, to see her new home for the very first time. Kamiri also, again, wondered of the creatures here - would they be good, or evil? Would she have to fend for herself like she had to at home? She hoped not...

When she finished docking the ship, she grabbed her knapsack and threw a bundle of rupees and a map of Hyrule from her father into it.

She was going to do a bit of shopping at the Market, perhaps try to find someone to buy her ship. It was not of any use to her now, since she had come here; and she needed the money, too - that would be the perfect amount to get her off of her feet and find a more permanant place to live.

She hopped off of the deck onto the sandy shore. Oh, how she reeked of body odor! She hadn't bathed in over 3 weeks. So she decided to go to the lake, at night. They had to have a small section where no-one would see her... Right?

The walk to the Market was going to be a long one, but after living in such small quarters for so long, anyone would be up to it. Kamiri remembered her steed, now. He could have come in handy at the moment. She also remembered how noble black stallion would have been her friend forever, if only she hadn't sold it. He was probably the biggest sacrifice she had to make for her new life. Tears sprang to her eyes as she remembered him, sweet Shadow...

And then, she began to walk towards town.


The fields were beautiful, with glorious green grass flourishing everywhere, surrounded by the mysterious dark trees of the forest. Her map told her of lands that seemed so magical and filled with wonder that she couldn't wait to visit them. And this land was brimming with such a lively feeling, an aura of something unfamiliar to Kamiri - it was just so happy...

Walking along the forest, a sound called to her attention; the whinny of a horse! That sound, again, reminded her of Shadow. She followed the direction of the noise, into the woods. They didn't look that mysterious, after all...

And as soon as she had taken two steps in, there was another sound. But this sound came from a girl, and judging by her voice, probably Kamiri's age. And she was singing a beautiful melody, her voice pure and rich.

Walking closer, Kamiri managed a small, "Hello?"

The singing stopped.

"Who's there?" the voice asked.

"My name is Kamiri. I just... Well, I heard the sound of a horse, and... Funny thing, I'm looking to purchasing one, just wanted to, oh, I don't know, I guess I was just following the sound of a whinny looking to find a -"

"Oh, well, come a bit closer, I don't bite." she replied with a sweet chuckle.

Kamiri took a few steps closer, and walked onto soft green grass. There was a small clearing, where the light poured through the trees and flowers graced the ground. A spring flowed through, and a wonderful red horse stood drinking at it. The horse looked up at Kamiri as she neared.

Next to the horse was a girl who looked Kamiri's age. She had long red hair, like the horse's and a sweet smile. Her eyes were a radiant green, and she looked almost angelic with the sun pouring down on her freckled face as it did...

"Hello, my name is Malon, pleased to meet you. I'm afraid I don't recognize you, are you new around these parts?" she said, extending an open hand out in front of Kamiri's.

Kamiri hesitated, then shook her hand. She had a delicate touch.

"I'm Kamiri, pleased to meet you as well. I am new, came from a place quite far from here."

"Oh really?" Malon asked, loosening her grip and letting her hand fall back to her side. "This is one of our stable-horses, I was just taking her out on a ride and decided to go to the spring for a drink. She's my favorite, her name is Daisy."

"Ah, such a sweet name." Kamiri replied. "You know, I'm interested in purchasing a horse. Do you sell them?"

"On special occasions, yes. They are very prized animals, from a family line. Have you ever heard of the Lon-Lon Ranch?"

"I'm afraid not."

"...Well that's where they come from. I could show you one that we are breaking in at the moment, if you'd like. But I'm not sure I could sell her..."

"...Oh..."

"...But I could show you her anyhow!" Malon replied with a smile.

"That would be quite nice. Tell you what, I have to go to town right now, how about I stop by this ranch of yours on my way home? Is that okay?"

"Of course t'is, I'll see you tonight."

"Alright!" Kamiri said, waving as she stepped away. "Good-bye!"
