The River Dragon: Hey, back so soon eh? Yes it's very unlike me to post a chapter the next day…..DONT AGREE WITH ME! (Cries in background) lol anyhow, other then my frequent mood swings, The River Dragon is on a roll! But I'm sorry for the cliffy in chapter eight, it was necessary to continue onto chapter nine. Plus I'm apparently evil – this is what silverpistola says lol – so I must keep up that image neh? Heh heh heh heh heh- ACHOO! Ughhhh….
Chapter 9
Malon rode to the Lon Lon Ranch alone, as usual. Luckily there were no monsters appearing in these fields anymore, they'd long since stopped. Malon smiled. 'Epona probably ran over them all.' She said to herself.
She urged her mare into a slow gallop as they approached the Ranch. 'I told Zelda and now all I have to do is pray she doesn't hate me and decides to keep me as a friend. I doubt things will ever be the same though.' Malon added to herself.
Link held the arrow in place as a woman stood in the entrance to the garden. He couldn't see much, his eyes were unused to seeing detail in the shade when it was sunny outside. Had it been pitch black and the woman was standing in the shadows of something, he'd see every inch of her, but now his eyes squinted and strained to keep open.
Zelda stood and placed her hand on his bow. As he turned to her in question, he could still see the worry in her eyes even though his were starting to water.
He lowered his bow and pulled the arrow away, placing it back in the holder along with the others. 'It's strange, I can't feel this woman's intentions nor can I predict her movements. It feels like she's hardly even there.' Link said to himself as he gave the woman an unsure look.
"Impa, you're not going to tell my father, are you?" Zelda asked, taking a step towards the woman apparently named Impa.
Although his eyes were dying in the sunlight, Link's ears could pick up the sound of a small laugh emitting from the woman. 'Damn sun, I wish it would go behind a tower or something, it was better when I was kneeling, at least then the wall was blocking it.'
"I didn't see anything, what would I tell your father about?" Impa asked a smile on her face. 'Poor Gerudo Prince can't see five feet in front of him, not when I stand in this position.' Impa added to herself. 'One of the few Gerudo curses, they can't see in the sunlight after a life in the night.'
A cloud passed over the sun and brought about a moment of darkness.
Zelda felt a small wind beside her and she turned to find Link gone.
"You knew about him this whole time?" Zelda cried. Impa smiled slightly. "It was kind of hard not to. I've seen him sneak into the castle before you even met him. And I've seen him bully the guards; lure them into chasing him in circles, then trapping them in a dungeon or something. And they still fall for it. Quite pathetic really." Impa replied.
She suddenly walked over to the window in Zelda's room and paused.
"And I also know that he's just outside, undoubtedly waiting for me to leave." Impa smiled. "He doesn't trust me that I am sure of. He was ready to shoot me before and now he shoots daggers at my back. I don't blame him though; it doesn't seem he's too used to having someone who can out sneak him." Added Impa as she closed the door behind her.
