Hello everyone! Look what I did! I got the next chapter out way beforte I thought I would! Aren't you proud of me?
Link: No.
Me: Why not?
Link: Because this chapter isn't funny.
Me: Yes it is!
Link: Not really. Maybe a little, but not really.
Me: ...MEANIE!! -goes off to cry in the emo corner-
Link: You are a sad, strange little girl. And you have my pity.
Me: ...GET OUT HERE AND DO THE DISCLAIMER!!
Voice: But I don't have anything to do with Zelda stuff!
Link: Just do what she says, alright?
Voice. Fine.
-Sabaku no Gaara from Naruto, my favorite character in the world as of right now, appears in the room-
Gaara: destinykeyblade does not own The Legend of Zelda, Link, Malon, Epona, or any of the characters in this story besides Angel.
Malon: Isn't Lily an OC?
Link: No.
Malon: ...I'm confused.
Me: Too bad! The only one I MIGHT explain this to is my wonderful reviewer, Kiarra-Chan, without whom I never even would have started this story. Thank you so much! Oh, and I've got that other Tormentor thing up if you'd like to read it. Just click on my little profile thingamabobbyjigger...
"Ooh ooh ooh! Ooh ooh ooh! Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh..."
The red-headed girl sang happily as she stood by the corral, watching the horses inside run around and jump the obstacles every now and then. That was what she did. It was what she'd always done, and what she would always do: stand by and watch the horses while singing her little heart out.
Today however, she was interrupted by the arrival of an old friend.
"Malon!" came a cry. "Malon!"
She turned to see Link running towards her, looking quite relieved that she was present.
"Hi, Link!" she called happily, waving him over. "It's so good to see you again! I never got a chance to thank you for saving us all from-"
"Malon, I need your help." Link interrupted, a serious expression on his face.
Malon immediately grew worried and began interrogating her friend, stubbornly refusing to move from her spot until she knew everything.
Link sighed. This is going to take up a lot of time that I don't have... Still, seeing that there was no other way to get Malon's assistance, he started into his tale. Malon was informed of Link's first encounter with Lily and Angel, their conversations quoted word-for-word. (The day stood out vividly in Link's mind, you see.) The second time he saw them was also explained, although not in great detail. Finally, Link told Malon of the events that had occurred that very morning in the Kokiri Forest and Kakariko Village. When he had finished hit story, Malon stared at him.
"Link?" she asked after a moment.
"What?"
"If all that's true, then... Where's Angel?"
Link's eyes grew wide, and he whirled around. The brownish-blonde haired girl was nowhere in sight. Groaning, Link headed back towards Hyrule Field, calling out her name as he did so.
Malon, who was worried about Link (and questioned his sanity), followed.
~Hyrule Field, Near The Gateway To Gerudo Valley~
"No! Bad Poe Ghost! You don't throw fire at people!" Angel shouted, jumping out of the way of yet another flame. The Poe, as you might expect, completely ignored her and continued to float around, reaching into its lantern every now and then to throw out another piece of its spectral fire.
Angel dodged yet again, narrowly this time. I've got to be careful... He almost got me. The Earthling began to imitate the ghost's circling movements in an attempt to stay away from it.
Alright, Angel, think. How do you get rid of this ghost when you play the game? You have Link slash it with his sword. ...I don't have a sword. Nor do I have a bow and arrows or a horse or... a horse! That's it!
Angel jumped backwards a few feet so that the ghost would have to come foward to hit her with anything. So in other words, she was buying herself some time. Taking a deep but rather hurried breath, she let out a string of musical notes, singing as loudly as was humanly possible. She listened hopefully as she dodged the flames once more, praying she'd hear the sound of Epona's hoofbeats on the ground. Her hopes were not in vain. The red horse appeared in just a matter of moments, thundering down the slope towards the girl and the ghost. The latter, upon seeing this magnificent creature, began backing away and quickly vanished into thin air.
Epona whinnied loudly and pawed the ground with her hoof. Angel ran her hand along the horse's face in way of petting, attention that Epona responded positively to. She nickered softly and nuzzled the Earthling for a moment, then tossed her head a bit and looked at Angel expectantly.
"Huh? What is it, girl?" Angel asked in confusion. Another loud whinny was her answer.
"....Oh! I get it! You're telling me to get on, aren't you?"
~Angel's POV~
Oh no. No, no, no! I can't! I can't ride a horse! I don't know how! The onnly ones I've ever ridden before were total psychopaths and tried to kill me! I can't do it!
These are the kinds of thoughts that were swirling around in my head as I looked at the Hylian horse in front of me. Now, I wanted to get up on Epona and ride around Hyrule Field, but I was just so... scared! Have you ever ridden a horse with another person on it and been the one that wasn't in the saddle? I have. Has your horse ever gotten scared of something stupid and freaked completely out? Mine has. Has your horse reared up too far? Mine has. Due to the horse rearing up as described, have you ever fallen off and landed on your back with a bunch of sticks and stuff jabbing into your back and said jabbing hurting even more because your dad landed on you?! I HAVE!!! And I tell you, it's not pleasant!! Are there any further questions as to why I was hesitant to mount the animal?
But, despite my uneasiness, I managed to walk up to Epona and somehow sling myself into the saddle. Once I was up there, I felt whole lot better. It was as if everything I was afraid of had just floated away, into the sky like a bubble... Anyhow, I took hold of the reins, made a clicking noise with my tounge, and turned Epona around to gallop up the hill she had come down to find me.
~No One's POV~
"Link!" Malon shouted, trying to catch up with her childhood friend. "Link, slow down!"
"And leave that lunatic to wreck Hyrule? No thank you!" he shouted back, and continued running.
"Ooh... When I get my hands on him, he's dead!" Malon growled to herself. To keep her red-headed fury in check, she began imaginaning the most lovely (by which I mean terrible and evil) ways to torture Link for his actions. All of the sudden, she saw Link stop, and ran foward to stand beside him. "What is it?" she asked quietly.
"Listen," was all he said in reply. So she did. For the first few moments, she heard nothing. Then, a faint noise reached her ears, a sound that made her wonder if she had been listening to the horses to much.
Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop...
"Link?" she whispered.
"That can't be Epona, can it?" he asked.
"Link! Malon! Look at me!" a voice cried in delight. A girl with long, brownish-blonde hair riding a red horse seemingly appeared out of nowhere. The girl had a huge, demented grin on her face and was waving wildly to the Hylians with both hands... which ultimately caused her to fall off the horse.
Link groaned as the female, unfazed by the fall, sprang to her feet and ran over to them, the horse following. "Malon, this is Angel."
Kiarra-Chan - ...I CAN'T REMEMBER YOUR REVIEW!! My retarded dial-up is being... well, retarded, and I can't get to my inbox to read your review! ...But I do remember that you agreed with Link about the evil thing! That counts for something, right? ...RIGHT?!
Link: Nope.
Me: You are so mean to me!
Gaara: But you'll fix that, won't you, o evil little authoress?
Malon: OF DOOM!
Everyone: -blank stares-
Malon: You didn't finish it. The evil little authoress of doom! That's what she's called!
Me: -slowly- No it's not...
Malon: WELL IT IS NOW! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!
