You guys made me so happy with your reviews that I'm gonna update in less than 24 hours!

Blaze: I'm surprised people would review.

You know what, Blaze? I'm going to kick you out.

Blaze: You can't do that.

Watch me. grabs a giant baseball bat and hits Blaze so he's flying

Blaze: AHHHHHHHHHH!

Wings: Blazestarre owns NOTHING! Not even the computer. She's borrowing it! (Me-WINGS!)O I AM NOT!) Uh, read, please!

A/N- I put 'gelding' in the first chapter. For you non-horse people that would mean a fixed male horse. I realize that this would be like the middle ages. I'll just assume that they are very intelligent and use magic, not science, for the things we have, like getting a male animal 'fixed'

Link a.k.a. Fairy Boy

Malon was not paying attention to Epona. To say the filly didn't like that was an understatement. She was furious. It had been three days since Malon came home with a 'crush', whatever that is, a that boy, Link. Epona's mother refused to tell her what was wrong with Malon and just said humans are the strangest creatures. They go through phases and a crush was one of those many phases. Pretty soon, Malon would be pouring attention.

Other horses had joined them in the small pasture. Queenie let Epona get a little closer to the half-dozen other horses. Epona tried to talk to the others since she couldn't be with Malon, but the horses would ignore her. The four other foals were in stalls still. The oldest foal of Lon Lon Ranch was Epona, while the others were between six and two weeks old.

I want Malon to get over this stupid 'crush' thing right now! Epona silently yelled. She took up pacing in circles at a walk, then a trot, then eventually a canter. She just could not shake this boredom!

"Epona! Will you settle down?" Queenie said rather impatiently.

"I'm sorry, Mama. But I miss Malon! The other horses won't talk to me, Uncle Talon is doing something inside, and Ingo is mean. What am I suppose to do?"

"Well, filly, today is your lucky day. Miss Malon is coming this way."

Sure enough, there was Malon in her regular farm dress. She walked into the pasture, singing once again Epona's favorite tune. Epona came galloping up to her, whining happily. She looked like she finally got over the crush! Epona stuck her face into Malon's, Malon hugging her neck to prevent falling over and laughing.

"Wow, Epona! You're acting like you haven't seen me in years."

Close enough. Epona thought. The three days did felt like three years.

"I wish Link would get here. He promised to visit."

What? Malon still is in that phase? Epona snorted in annoyance. When will it end? Malon started to sing again. Epona bobbed her head up and down, enjoying the song and forgetting about Link. Malon was paying her attention again.

"Malon?" said a voice new to Epona. She looked up. It was a blond human boy in all green and a little light followed him. Who's that?

"Fairy Boy! There you are!"

So this is Link. Malon kept calling him Fairy Boy and Epona saw why.

"Hi. This is a different kind of place from what I've seen," Link said with an amazed expression. This made Epona confused. If he was human, wouldn't he have seen a ranch before? He walked in the pasture and nest to Malon. Epona backed away slowly, not sure if she should trust someone who had Malon's attention. She then went into a full canter and ran into her mother.

"Epona, what are you doing?"

"Mama, I don't like that boy."

"Don't like him or jealous of him?"

"Jealous? What's that?"

"You think you don't like someone because they have something you don't."

"Oh. So I'm jealous?"

"I think you are. Here they come. Try to get to know Link. You might like him." Epona wasn't so sure. She backed away again while listening to the conversation the two humans.

"So, what are they?" Link asked. "I've never seen those animals in the forest."

Malon giggled. "Well, no Fairyboy! They're horses. This one is Epona. She's three months."

"She doesn't seem to like me."

"I guess she's shy. Epona's never met anyone outside the ranch before. This might help. You have an ocarina, right?" Link nodded. Malon bent over and whispered in his ear.

Epona ran to her mother. "Mama, what is she telling him?"

"I'm not sure, but-ah I don't really know."

A sudden clucking from the barn distracted Epona. About ten cuccos came running out the open door followed by Talon. As Epona watched the little chase intently, Link pulled out his ocarina and played a very familiar song. It was the one the Malon always sung, the one she learned from her mother. From what Epona was told, Malon never taught anyone the words or rhythm. It was too special. For Malon to teach it to someone was not like her. Link must have been really special for Malon to trust him with her mother's song.

Should I trust him, too? Am I really just jealous? Maybe I should give him a chance. Epona carefully walked up to Link and Malon. She stretched her neck out to sniff Link. Link smiled. He reached up and patted her on her muzzle and then rubbed her face. Epona enjoyed it.

"See, Link? She came up to you," Malon said happily.

"What was that song called?"

"Um." Malon thought for a moment, trying to get a name from her memories. "Well, I don't know what my mother called it, but I call it Epona's Song, 'cause she likes it so much."

Epona was surprised at the song name. It's named after me? This surprised her more than when she heard the word 'crush.' She was torn from her train of thought by the little blue light above Link's had.

"Hey, Link? We need to leave for the Zora's Domain!"

"All right, Navi," Link sighed. Malon had a sad look on her face and Epona felt somewhat the same. She had never seen Malon so happy before and now the one who made her so was now leaving. "Bye Malon. Nice to meet you Epona."

Malon hugged Link and Epona rubbed her head against him. Link gave them one last look and then left.

"Mama, why'd he have to leave?"

"I don't know. He's just a foal. He should have stayed and rested."

"Malon! Can you come in and help with dinner?"

"Sure, Dad! See ya after dinner, Epona."

It had been seven days since Link had visited. Talon had disappeared while delivering milk to the castle, again. Malon had left to find him, again, leaving Epona in Ingo's care. That was five days ago. Epona was starting to try eating regular hay but Ingo again deprived them of hay. The days had been hard and almost abusive. That morning, something didn't feel right to Epona. It was like the three Goddesses were trying to them about something, but no one else seemed to notice.

"Mama, does something not feel right to you?"

"No, Epona. I think you're just paranoid with Malon gone for so long."

Epona didn't bother asking what paranoid meant. Something was not right.

It was only about one in the afternoon, but the sky looked liked it was eight at night. Lightening streaked the sky and the wind picked up. Looking at the sky, Epona's ominous feeling grew. She looked at the horizon and saw a dim glow at the castle. Epona had never seen something like it.

"What's that glow, Mama?"

Queenie looked up and saw the orange glow. Surprise went through eyes and then fear.

"Mama?"

"It's fire, Epona." Queenie's ears were pinned back and the whites of her eyes could be seen. She reared, screaming ferociously. Epona looked at the glow again. Fire. She had heard of the deadly but mysterious energy. Epona had seen controlled fire lighting the ranch. There were stories of entire towns being burned down. Epona was frightened and imitated her mother to show it.

"What is all that damn racket?" an angry voice yelled from the barn. Ingo came running out the door. "Shut up you damn horses! If I owned this ranch I-" He stopped as he saw the glow. "What in the name of Din is going on?"

The sound of hooves came from the gate. Ingo looked over to find Malon and Talon riding over. Epona and Queenie were still screeching. Ingo marched over to the owners.

"Talon! What's going on? You're stupid horses are going crazy."

Malon beat Talon to the answer. "Ganondorf turned against the King. Hyrule castle is under attack."
