Chapter 3

Link awoke on the same table he fell asleep on and looked around to find Saria not there. Link stretched and got up of the poorly made bed, despite a slight pain in his back he felt great. He was very awake and aware and very well rested. He made his way to the door but before he could a kind nurse with long curly hair walked through the door. "Oh, your up" the kindly girl said, but for all Link knew she could be in her late seventies.

"Surprised?" Link asked inquisitively. "Yes we assumed that you would be asleep for at least another day" the girl stated. Link had a look of confusion on his face so the nurse decided to explain for him. "The drug we gave you made you fall asleep, you've been asleep for one day already" the nurse said. "I have had many operations like this one and I was never asleep for that long" Link stated with a harsh tone.

Luckily Saria came just in time to stop Link from saying some thing he would regret. "I told them to do it" Saria yelled. Link had a look af shock and anger on his face. "But, why". "Because I knew you would try to leave before you where fully healed." She replied with a smug look on her face. Link anger started to rise within him, but he knew she did have a valid reason for doing so. "Fine" Link spat with disgust. "Um Mr. Link" the doctor wants to see you for an examination" the small and now scared girl said timidly. Link let out a heavy sigh and went obediently with the nurse.

Link found himself once again inside the strange examination plant. Link hated it; it was very constricting and even though it had flowers on the out side it smelled like feet inside the plant. Finally link was able to get out of the plant and with great relive he put on his old green tunic, the tunic alone could tell you what an 'active' man he was it had many patches sealing the cuts in his various battles there was also the scarlet color of blood in several places on Link's shirt.

"Well Link your free to go, you are completely healed" the doctor stated plainly. "Thank you god" Link shouted joyfully. He hated sitting around and doing nothing and creating needs instead of meeting them. "That is good news because we need Link's help" Saria said. "What's new" Link said with a chuckle. "Link do you know where we can get some horses for the excavation" Saria stated. "As a mater of fact I know the perfect place, I was planning on going there soon any ways."

"Good to hear it" Saria said, "When can we expect you back"

"I shouldn't be more than four days" Link said

"Ok get well get it done" shouted Joel who just entered the room.

"It's nice to see you're well too" Link said. "Now if I'm a little late don't go sending a search party or anything" Saria tended to get a little worried when he was late.

With that link ran out the door to find his horse weary and waiting as usual, but before he left he went to the Kokiri shop and bought some food then proceded out side and filled his jug with water. Now that he was finally ready he headed out to Lon Lon Ranch. Once he was in the field he took a breath of fresh air riding a little more he was suddenly flung of on to his back he looked up to see some thing he hadent seen in a long time. Link then ran up to the Peahat taking his glorious fairy sword out of its quiver. He charged straight toward the monstrosity and dove under it then gaming his sword straight into the monstrosity its dark purple blood spilled on to Links tunic and in his eyes it stung with a vengeance but Link had grown use to it. Link then mounted his horse and turned for one last look at the creature's dead body. "Their more annoying than deadly" Link said to himself as he rode towards the ranch he cold hear the sound of horses neighing and chickens clucking. Link then got up the hill and saw the ranch Link then smiled; this was his home a way from home. When a battle left Link injured or wounded Link would come to ranch and Malon would heal his wounds to the best of her abilities with the herbs they had, in exchange Link would put a solid day's work at the ranch. Malon often told him he didn't need to do such a thing but Link insisted it would make him fell better. Reluctantly Malon would finally agree.

Link came into the ranch, but some thing was different about the ranch. The ground looked different. "Its probably just the drugs from the operation" Link thought to him self.

He pressed on to find Malon next to the horse pin as usual but there was a locked gate on it now. "Malon", Link yelled as he ran up to the red head. "Link, your alive" Malon said.

"Last time I checked" Link said in a sarcastic tone. "Last I heard you where headed into Gannon's castle. "What you thought Dingledwarf took me out, please we just played radio active tennis for a while and then I took him, Phantom Gannon was harder than him." Malon giggled and turned her head slightly. When Link would come to the ranch he would always talk about his adventures and Saria. He would talk about how their best friends but it was obvious to Malon just by the look on Links face when he talked abut her that he thought more of her than that.

"Um, Malon why are the horses locked up?" the young man asked, snapping the red head out of her thoughts. "Oh, now that Gannon is gone people want to get around witch means they want and we I've seen a shadowy figure doing things around the horses my dad ran towards them and scared them off."

"Having trouble with your cows too?" a voice yelled, Link instinctively turned around with his sword draw to see none other than Impa standing there.

"It's good to see you too hero" the Shekin replied with a smile, "but could you please awnsew my question about the cows". She always was straight forward, Link thought to him self.

"The castle has not received any milk for the past two months, we sent guards to investigate, and they have yet to be found, her-majesty asked that I investigate personally." The tall woman asked. Malon's eyes grew wide and she had her hands over her mouth Link turned to see what she was staring at and saw a baby Dodogo. Impa also tuned and drew her dagger. "No!" Link shouted "If you kill it, it will explode, just don't approach it and we will be fine." as soon as Link finished his sentence hundreds of the creatures popped up everywhere.

"Don't move" Link shouted. The trio stood frozen scarcely breathing. Link then heard a whistling sound all too familiar to him. An arrow impacted the horse pen mere millimeters from Malon's head Link then heard another whistling sound. "Run!" Link shouted motioning to the building at the back of the ranch. Link turned and yanked the arrow out of the fence and fired his own arrow at the lock on the horse pin. Link then ran towards the large building. "Now if only the arrows don't hit" but it was too late Link saw an arrow impact a Dodongo next to him. "Crap" Link shouted then picked up his pace Impa did the same. As Link passed Malon he scooped her up when Link reached the door he heard explosions. Link thrusts open the door and ran in. Then he gracefully jumped on some milk boxes. The green clad hero placed the ranch girl in the corner next a small hole. Malon got the idea and crawled. "Impa you next" Link said in a stern commanding voice. Impa started to complain but decided to save her breath and she obediently crawled through. Link followed close behind they heard one last explosion and all fell silent.
