A Horse fit for a Hero
Link had finaly managed to pry the broken Zaila away from her destroyed child-hood home . He had taken her out of the market and helped her across the broken draw bridge . They stood , looking out over the land of Hyrule . It was exactly as Link remembered it , yet so different in every possible way .
The grass , that had once been green and soft , rustled by the faint , warm winds , was now yellowish-grey stubble , that crackled unpleasantly underfoot . On the horizon , Lon Lon Ranch , rose majesticly , just as it always had , framed by the crimson glow of the orange Sun . But now even the Sun's rays failed to warm the barren lands , the icy wind hurled around , cloaking the castle in Winter's cruel grip permanently . Zaila looked around her , stunned by the once beautiful place which had been turned into a cold , famine-riddled wasteland . They started to walk away from the castle , as they got farther away from its high stone walls , the cold slowly dispersed , and the Sun was able to pierce the clouds , but still a chill wind blew . "I suggest we go to Lon Lon Ranch ." Muttered Link . Zaila didn't answer him , she really wasn't in the mood for talking , her whole world as she knew it was gone , her home , even if it was just a strip of canvas , her life , and her best friend Tairo . They walked across Hyrule Field , and it took them a good thirty minutes to reach the ranch . "One of my friends lives here ," Link told her , Zaila really didn't care , "I wonder how she is ? I wonder if she will even remember me ." He muttered . "Look Blondie," Hissed the white haired girl , "Are you just gonna stare at the place or are you actually gonna go in ?" He shrugged . "Ladies first ." She 'humphed' and strode past him , through the three , high wooden beams that made up the entrance to the Ranch . He sighed and shook his head , something that he would never understand was the workings of the female mind , he followed her into the Ranch .
Ingo glared at the two horses , Epona , and that other one , a black stallion , with black eyes . Ingo had never bothered to name that damned horse , it was too much trouble , he was just known as 'Horse' , just like most of the others . These two though , they were trouble , he would be getting rid of one of them soon though , he was handing Epona over to Ganondorf as a gift . the other one , he could use as target practice when he got board . He looked at the stallion . His smooth , shining coat was as black as pitch , and his deep eyes radiated strength from their onyx depths , he was definitely one of the fastest horses on the Ranch , perhaps Ingo would keep him after all , and use him as a race horse . Not only was he fast , he was also huge , and his large , beautiful head reared up high over Ingo , speed and such size as his was a strange and powerful combination . He had arrived at the Ranch , a little under seven years ago , he had obviously been abandoned , by some cruel , heartless owner . But the ranch that he came to had been a happy one , where he had received food and care , that is until Ingo had taken over and had kicked Talon out . he had been given the Ranch by Ganondorf , and had forced young Malon to become his slave , the man was cruel , but Malon never blamed him for it , she put it down to the fact that he had been corrupted by the power that Ganondorf had promised him . He had managed to get a rope around the stallions thick neck , and he reared up angrily , hot breath snorting through his flared nostrils . "You no good bag of Bones ! I'll carve yeh flesh right off yeh hide if yeh don't calm down !" Screeched the cruel Ranch Master . He managed to drag the huge creature over to metal fence of the corral and tied him there , he raised the horse whip and was about to cast a stinging blow over the creature's rump . Suddenly he heard a whistling sound , and a well aimed arrow knocked the whip from his hand , the shock rifling up his arm . The black horse whinnied in shock , and it cast its deep eyes towards the entrance of the corral .
Link grabbed Zaila's arm before she could string another arrow that would kill Ingo . "What do you think your doing ? You can't just go shooting people like that !" Zaila snarled and pushed him away from, her . "Stay out of this Blondie . Take one look at that horse , and I dare you to tell me you haven't seen him before !" She hissed angrily . Link's beautiful blue eyes rested on the stallion , he recognised it , but was unsure where he had seen it before . Zaila strung another arrow and sent it flying through the air .
Ingo yelped in fear , he was sure that arrow was meant for him , it sung past his ear , he sighed with relief , the girl was obviously a novice with a bow if she had missed such an easy shot . "Ha , foolish Kid ! You missed !" He snarled at her . She merely smirked at him . "If you say so ." She said . Ingo gulped and slowly turned around , the rope , the only thing that had been holding the horse was severed , and the majestic creature glared hatefully down its long nose at the man . He squeaked in fear , and the powerful stallion tossed his head . Zaila smirked , she knew it was him , and to think , forty minutes ago she had been on her knees crying over his supposed death . It was Tairo . The horse reared up , screeching furiously at Ingo . "Tairo !" She called . The huge creature instantly stopped , its head turning and seeing its old master . A shrill whinny of joy escaped from the black horse as he cantered over to her and nuzled her chest . Zaila brushed her hand gently over his smooth face and kissed his velvety nose . "I'm sorry Tairo , I'm sorry I didn't come back . But I am here now ." Ingo was furious , and he began to come over to the girl . "Hey you no good little brat ! Get your grubby hands off my horse !" He screamed . Zaila ignored him completely , swung up onto Tairo's back , (Most of the horses have saddles on) and drove him towards the high wall of the ranch , she turned and called over her shoulder . "Link , take care of whatever business you have here . I am leaving , and I hope never to see you again !" She said , before breaking into a gallop and clearing the high wall and disappearing from view .
