Herione of time

By Chikara-Yuy

I am sorry to have taken so long to update but senoir week is coming up fast and there is a lot I gotta do.

I have to go to a stupid luncheon… and all that stuff not to mention order that robe thing. Well again I apologize for taking so long.

Shara looked around herself as she entered Lon Lon Ranch just behind Link.

"This place is wonderful…" she whispered to herself looking at the horses just beyond the metal gate. Link though looked surprised. A man stood at the gate and gave a laugh as they approached.

"Ho, ho, ho! Welcome to Ingo's ranch!"

Link stared at Ingo for a moment before shaking his head lightly and paying to get a ride. Shara stood beside him and watched him as he walked into the padlock. He pulled out his ocorina and played a small tune. She stared surprised as a horse hurried up to him neighing enthusiasticly. The horse was a beautiful chesnut mare with a white mane and tail. Link mounted her and took off jumping the fences in the padlock. Shara watched in awe.

-shara's point of view-

Link really seemed to know how to ride. I watched as he encouraged the horse as he got close to the jump always cleared it perfectly. I appualded and was surprised when the owner of the ranch turned to me.

"Whould you like to ride my dear?"

I stared at him for a moment and looked behind me to see if he was talking to anyone else. Nope he wasn't. "I would but I don't have any money to pay for it sir."

"Well, I am sure that your friend there would pay."

"I wouldn't ask him to sir."

He turned and watched Link clear another jump. "hmmm," he grumbled to himself.

He walked into the padlock leaving me at the gate.

"Boy," he called out. "You seem to be quite a natrual at this, how about a little race. Hmm?"

I looked to Link as he was looking down at the ranch owner. He nodded once and soon both had mounted their horses."

"Heyyaaaaa!"

Link's point of view

I was happy to see Epona again of course and this was going to be a lot of fun. Maybe I can even help out the ranch something odd is going on anyway. I thought silently. When the signal was given by Ingo I took off ahead of him. "Come on Epona! Let's do this!" I guided her over the jumps and made sure to keep ahead of Ingo. Once past the finish line, I looked down at Ingo as he let out an angry cry.

"AAAAAAAAAAhhhhh! Shoot! Is that Epona? How about another race if you win you can keep the horse!"

I looked over at Shara who was watching still silent she seemed to be thinking hard. I looked back to Ingo and nodded again. "All right let's race."

Once it was over it was obvious Ingo was angry that I had won.

"AAAAAAAhhhh! Shoot! That horse was supposed to be a gift for Gannon for giving me this ranch. And I lost it on a bet…ohhh! Well I did say you could keep the horse but I didn't say you could leave."

I watched as Ingo pushed Shara in and shut the gates. I rode over to her as she got up and dusted herself off and gave Ingo a seething glare.

"You okay?"

I was glad to her reply. "Fine. Now how about we get out of here?"

I swung down out of Epona's saddle and stood in front of her. "And just how do we do that Shara?" I asked. She stared at me for a moment before looking over to Ingo's still saddled horse. "Wait until I mount the horse then follow me." She said quietly. I stood beside Epona as she walked to the horse. It reared for a moment and I moved to go help her but she held up a hand gently grabbed the horse by the reins and I was surprised as she easily calmed the stallion and lept up into the saddle easily. She rode over and looked down at me with a grin. "Well, are you going to mount or stand around with your mouth hanging open all day?"

I closed my mouth and shook my head Navi who was now on my shoulder giggled in her fairy language and she said quietly. "Your, blushing." I gave her a small glare and swung up into Epona's saddle. Shara took off at a fast gallop towards the fence and I was right on her heels. When we both lept the fence and landed outside the gates I looked back and patted Epona on the neck and looked at Shara who was smirking. "Don't you ever just smile or do you only smirk?" I asked jokingly.

"I only smirk."

I only laughed at her. Then I turned towards Karoki woods. "Come on. I have to go see someone and I think you would like to meet her." I looked back at her, to see her leaning over the horse rubbing his neck. Her dark hair falling over her shoulder and mingling with the horse's mane. "hmph. And we can get you some clothes so that you can blend in around here."

She looked over at me then down at herself and shook her head. "You don't have too Link."

"I want to." I said giving a nod of my head. Navi flew out of my cap and soard over to her. Navi landed on her shoulder and Shara seemed to be listening to her. Though I could not hear it I was sure that the fairy was planning something.

Shara's point of view

Navi grinned as she landed on my shoulder.

"What is it?" I asked her politely. Navi whispered silently. "Just do it I haven't seen him this polite to a girl in ages. And…" she giggled. "I think he will need your help before long."

I looked up from the fairy to see Link watching us talking, and I shook my head and looked down at the fairy. "Alright, but only because I want to know exactly where I am…this is an odd place and I deffinately don't want to start trouble!"
