Another chapter is here! Thanks to my three new reviewers! The Ygger, Sourapple1000 and the wolf87! I love reviews! SO submit a review and tell me what you think, I've got lots of new chapters coming up soon, but it all depends on how much homework I have to do, seriously, teachers pile on too much homework, the nerve of some people...

Anime Wildfire,

Lee woke up to something licking his face; he pushed it away.

"Mae, stop it." he said as he realized who it was. He sat up and looked around, he was lying in the middle of Hyrule field; Comet was nowhere in sight.

Lee looked to his left and noticed Kari lying there; she had blood on her shoulder and on her forehead and a hoof shaped mark on her boot.

Lee also noticed lots off Poe spirits around them; Mae must have been protecting them. Lee got up and kneeled next to Kari.

"Kari? Kar? Wake up!" Lee grabbed her shoulders and shook her, trying to wake her up.

Her body feels really cold, he thought, touching her hand.

How in the world are we gonna get back? He wondered, looking around. Mae came up behind him and lay down.

Of course! Mae can carry us, he thought.

Great job genius. Mae thought to herself, you've been sleeping that long to come up with that obvious idea.

Lee picked Kari up and laid her across Mae's back, then he swung up behind her and nudged Mae. Mae slowly got up and walked to Lon Lon ranch.

After a while Lee got off and walked beside Mae, giving her a short rest, he got back on quickly however, Mae was walking to fast for him to keep up. Soon Mae started going a little faster, Lee wondered why, until he noticed that the sun was starting to set, he and Kari must have been knocked out longer than he thought.

After going over a hill Lee was able to make out the ranch, and soon Mae reached the ranch. Mae howled and Lee picked up Kari just as Malon came out, she rushed over.

"What happened to you two?"

"We were attacked, a Poe scared out horse and hurt Kari, and the horse reared up and knocked me off. Can you please help Kari? She hasn't woken up yet, and we were attacked a while ago." Lee explained, Malon nodded

"Of course, bring her in here." Malon led Lee inside the house, where he laid Kari down on the bed.

"I think I also found your horse, this morning I found a beautiful red horse in the field. He was quite frightened. Maybe he's yours?" said Malon.

Lee left Kari with Malon and went out to the corral, Malon was right; she did find Comet.

The minute Comet saw Lee he raced over to him, whinnying happily.

Then Lee remember Mae, he headed out of the ranch and found Mae waiting patiently for them. Lee sat with her for a minute and stroked her, thanking her for protecting them. Earning himself a playful nudge.

When he returned to Malon's house, Kari was stirring. Lee went over to her and she opened her eyes.

"Where am I?" she asked, trying to sit up. But Malon pushed her down.

"You are in Lon Lon ranch, we were attacked this morning remember? The I woke up later on and found you unconscious and Mae protecting us, so I put you on Mae's back and she carried us here."

"Oh, I see." said Kari, she placed a hand on her forehead. "My head hurts, did I get hurt?"

"Yeah, by that Poe, I wasn't conscious, but it's pretty obvious," replied Lee. "You also hurt your shoulder and foot, when Malon took you boot off, your foot was purple, Comet must have stepped on your foot. And you have a cut on your shoulder, the Poe must have done that to you too."

Malon sighed and sat down next to Kari's bed, "The monster attacks are becoming more frequent, it would be best if both of you spent the night here and went back in the morning." she said.

"Agreed." Kari and Lee said at the same time. Malon gave Kari and Lee each a bed in the stable, she also gave Comet a stall.

Mae had vanished again.

"Hey Lee, do ya think we'll see any knights tomorrow?" Kari inquired.

"Why would we see any knights?" asked Lee, he couldn't see Kari in the dark, but he could hear her as she petted Comet, who happened to be next to her.

"Well Malon said the attacks are becoming more frequent, so wouldn't the king want to do anything about these attacks?" wondered Kari.

"I suppose so," said Lee, staring at the ceiling.

"Do you think the captain of the guard himself will do anything?" Kari inquired.

"I've been thinking," said Lee, " If attacks have become more frequent..." He sat bolt upright, "Doesn't that mean there is some one calling them, a new evil?"

Kari sat up, "you could be right, personally I think these attacks are becoming much to frequent to be mere chance." she flopped back down.

"If I ever marry a prince, I would do something to stop these attacks," she muttered.

"But what do they want? If there really is a new evil?" said Lee, "well what did Ganon want? They must be after something really powerful, like the triforce or something..." said Kari.

"I hope they don't cancel the festival next week." Kari muttered.

With these ominous thoughts, sleep was a much-welcomed distraction for Lee and Kari.

Malon welcomed Kari and Lee up the next morning with a well-cooked breakfast of Eggs, Milk and bacon, what a surprise.

Both Lee and Kari were feeling much better, and Kari's foot wasn't so swelled, and her cuts had healed a bit.

"I think I fell well enough to go home today," said Kari as they ate. "At least you'll be awake this time, last time you were passed out," said Lee in a slightly teasing voice.

"Hey!" said Kari, she leaned over and playfully punched him in the arm. Making them all laugh.

After breakfast, Lee helped Kari onto Comet's back; he was much calmer this morning. Lee then swung up behind her and took the reins. Malon waved goodbye and they were off.

A little while later Kari asked Lee if Mae was healthy and got enough food, Lee replied that he couldn't see very well because it was still dark.

Kari kept an eye out for Mae on the way home, but she was nowhere in sight.

Kari limped inside while Lee put Comet in the corral.

He went inside and saw Kari leaning over the table, and she was shaking.

"Kari? Are you-" he broke off when he saw she was laughing,

"We totally forgot the milk and hay!" Kari said, still laughing. Soon Lee was laughing too.

"I guess that is pretty funny." he said, as Kari sat down in a chair.

"I guess we'll just have to go back tomorrow," she said, Lee nodded

"I'm glad that Mae showed up, we probably would have gotten eaten if she hadn't saved us" Lee nodded in agreement.

Kari suddenly perked up. "Oh yeah! Did you hear? The Prince and Princess are suppose to be there, the festival is in honor of the prince, even though he hasn't been seen in several years..."

"How do you know all this?" Lee asked her, Kari rolled her eyes. "I read Lee, I read the Hyrulian times."

"Mystery solved." Lee muttered.

"I wonder if Sheik will turn up too? We haven't seen him in three years, I kinda miss him." Kari said as she sighed.

"You just miss annoying him, don't you Kar?" said Lee, Kari smiled, "not as bad as you do, your pranks were always worse than mine."

A week later, Kari's foot was better and her cuts had healed, lucky for her, because the festival had come.
