From dusk to dark (Open)

[Felicity]

Hastily I made my way towards Lon Lon Ranch. The skies were a scarlet color, which destined that it was becoming night. Even if I was a good quality archer, it didn’t indicate that I sought to be out in the dark by myself. No matter how fine I was with aim, equilibrium, and talent in general, I will forever be frightened of the dark.

My legs urged themselves quicker as I can see the moon beginning to envelop the sun. Darkness prepared its way across the emerald lush fields. My breath was caught in my throat and I felt that I would make it in time before it became dark. That was until I fell of course, flat on my face. Hitting my forehead to a rock I became unconscious.

[Epona]

Day time was wearing thin and Felicity was back yet. I grew with great worry. I knew I had to go find her before dark arrived. She was afraid of the dark and I knew that no matter how great of a warrior she was. Before I knew it, I was out of Lon Lon Ranch territory and ran in a lighting gallop.

The moon rose over Hyrule and still no sign of Felicity. I was so scared about her safety. I hoped and wished with all of my heart to find her soon and unharmed. Suddenly, over a hill was Felicity face down on the ground. With her in my sight, a hundred pounds of worry lifted from my heart and soul! I was so happy to see her! I ran toward her with a great speed I didn't even know I had. Once she was in my reach, I lifted her from the ground onto my back. Now my only question is can I find my way back in the darkness of midnight...

[Felicity]

Shivering, I attempted to rollover, but I opened my eyes quickly when I felt wind rush underneath my arms. "Ahhh!" I screamed in fright as I saw the dark cover my vision, not that it wasn't already dark before.

"I'm going blind," I wailed overdramatically. I looked down and could feel and see the brown fur. Only one horse was smart enough to come find me. "Epona!"[/color]

[Epona]

Being the great, mature horse I was, I expected her to throw a little tantrum because of her fear of the dark. Although I wasn't expecting her to believe she was going blind, so that made my head turn. But I couldn't stop for anything, I had to find my way back to Lon Lon Ranch. I was relieved to see her conscious , though. I suppose I was heading the wrong direction because Felicity sat up in the saddle and grabbed hold of the reins to guild me back.

[Felicity]

"Epona, oh my, you wont believe what happened!" I complained in an agitated voice. I pulled the reins to urge her in another direction, as far as I could see she was heading back to Hyrule castle.

"I was running to Lon Lon Ranch and I was so scared because it was getting dark," as I bragged, I pet her fur softly. "I was running so fast! Then out of nowhere, there's this rock on the ground. When I was running past it, I tripped and I guess I was knocked out."

I shook my head for my own stupidity, "I was so close to getting back too!"[/color]

[Epona]

I listened to her story and had no concern as to how she got in this situation, like I said, I was just so happy to know that she is a live in one piece! Ok, maybe I am worrying too much but she is a good friend of mine and I love her like the sister I never had. I followed orders as she turned the reins and kicked my sides to go faster or another way of stirring me. Good thing she was awake to guild us home otherwise we would have been stuck in Hyrule Field 'till morning!

[Felicity]

I smiled down at Epona, I know she could understand every word I said. Sometimes I could tell she was annoyed of my talking, like currently she didn't care what I was saying to her. However, I was in a talkative mood.

"Epona you have no idea what I've been through today, it's preposterous," I stated. "My mother yelled at me! She told me I was an ignorant woman and needed to stay in the house, where I belonged!"

Humph, how dare that woman. She always believed every girl should grow up as a housewife, which most girls did, but I refuse. I want to live an adventures life and maybe even join the Hyrule army.

"I slammed my fist on the table, Epona, and I told her she was a selfish bitch and needed to learn that being inside cooking isn't all woman were put on this planet for," I was frustrated as I explained the story. "I mean look at Princess Zelda, she's done so much for Hyrule. She's so amazing and is just a great ruler. I wish I could serve her or help her do something!"

[Epona]

The power and anger in her voice really got my attention this time. I could tell how frustrated she was due to how she sat in the saddle and how she spoke. My ears turned toward the back of my head to listen to every word she had spoken. I felt really bad for her. I didn't know humans could have such a hard life. Maybe that's why horses were created; to easy all pain on humans. All I do though it flap my lip and ney but she won't know how bad I feel for her.

On our path, I saw a bunch of daisies. So I stopped to grab on flowers and turned my head back to her to give her the flowers. Link always gave Zelda flowers and she fell in love with them. So why not cheer Felicity up with a boutique of flowers!

[Felicity]

When Epona gave me the flowers I bathed her in hugs, pets, and kisses. She could be such a sweet horse, I'm telling you. This one is a genius. Better yet, she's always there to talk to!

"So Epona, nay once if your life has been good or nay twice if it's been bad?" I wanted to see if my communication powers would work, not that I had communication powers or anything. But I still wanted to see if it would work.[/color]

[Epona]

Did I ever mention I love this girl? She knows exactly what I'm trying to do or say! I nayed once because life has been good for me! My friend is safe, she's happy, I'm healthy, and I'm serving my purpose. How can anything go wrong?

We arrived at Lon Lon Ranch so Felicity led me to the pasture to run around freely, but I refused to run off because I wished to hear more from my best friend, Felicity!

[Felicity]

I smile gratefully at Epona, "Oh girl! I am so tired right now… I am thinking of just hitting the hay."

I felt bad for leaving her alone, after she just saved me from the dark. I was too tired to stay awake though, I needed my rest.

"How about I take you out tomorrow?" I yawned, stretching my arms above my head. "We could go for a ride, better yet, an adventure."[/color]

[Epona]

I nodded my head in agreement and licked her because she knew I loved going on adventures! I was getting a little tired myself. So I nudged her back to encourage her to get some rest.

I watched her enter the house then I ran to the nearest corner of the pasture to coil up and get my rest. . .

[Felicity]

Stretching my arms above my head as I woke, I felt really tired. The memories of last night and Epona saving me flashed before my eyes. Sighing, I rolled out of bed to get dressed.

Running outside, I had told Talon a few days before I would spend the night here. So he knew that Epona or any of his horses would be out around.

Striding outside I went to go see if Epona were awake, I would give her a stroll before I went out of town.[/color]

[Epona]

I stood near the fense of the pasture when out of the door walks little Felicity birhgt eyed and bushy tailed. . . Ok, maybe she looked a little tired but I knew she ready for the day. I began to prance in place when she walked in my direction. I was so happy to see her awake!

[Felicity]

Seeing Epona brought a smile to my face.

"Hey girl," I greeted happily. "Want to go for a ride? We could ride around Hyrule field."[/color]
