The hero of time was at his destination by dusk. When had Hyrule field get so big? Oh yeah, when the lack of Epona became noticeable by A. Wariness B. Exhaustion C. Lack of poes to shoot.
The ranch was subtle, calm, and all peaceful. Ever since that retard left the area, what's his name? the one with the pink pants…that guy…HIM! Since he had left, things were basically this way.
In Link's opinion, it was too damn calm.
Cows could be heard from the distance, obviously happy doing WHATEVER they were doing. Like wise went for the horses; smack dab in front of the hero was the ring where quite a few of them were milling about doing little horsy things.
Talon was the only person in sight, other then animals and the chickens, that could HARDLY be considered such after what they did to Link when as a destructive child, and Link found it fit to ask him some questions.
Needless to say, our mute hero got his answers (somehow). Talon quickly explain, humorously half asleep, that his steed was out doing her own thing. It was then that Link heard something strange.
Silence.
There was no song in the air. It was funny to think that Link hadn't noticed the lack of notes strung in the air that seem to dampen the atmosphere. Now it was sagging, depressing and oh too calm.
Once again, the hero asked (in his very secretive, silent way) a question. And once again, Talon answered, more so awake now that some of the chickens were piling over him as he lay on the ground. "Malon, and this is unusual of her, is out apparently searching out some things for 'something important', as she likes to put it. No doubt, this is only a guess, Epona is with her."
The hero's instincts kicked in; however, without a horse, it would be hard to get around. Not at all, Link would think, pulling out the ocarina from previous tries. And while standing outside of the building of which he was once in, conversing plainly with Talon, he played a tone, more complicated then that of Zelda's lullaby or Epona's song; the Prelude of Light was guided out by his whimsical melody playing fingers (Up, right, up, right, left, up).
If Malon was looking for something, he might as well try the market which was close to the Temple of Time.
