Link grinned waving to the rancher as he saddled Epona, the rain had caught up with him and the ride back to Castle Town would be a soggy one but he felt it would be the best place to learn of any news or problems occurring in the realm. He had spent a couple hours brushing Epona and gathering up supplies from his friends in the village, he hadn't talk to Fi much since his arrival but felt the trip back would give them time. His thoughts turned to the strange female form locked in the Master Sword. She seemed very intelligent and kind, he couldn't believe anyone would leave a companion like that behind. As he climbed on to Epona's back and waved goodbye to his village he gave himself a silent promise to never be like the old Links and leave a friend behind. As Link rode across the field the rain changed over from a drizzle to a downpour, he knew that if anyone recognized him he would stand trial before Zelda... Wait a second "Fi, do you think princess Zelda might be able to help me find out my task? I mean generally the princess plays a role in the hero's story." He spoke to her as Epona gave a whiny and cantered closer to Castle town, if they hurried they would reach it by mid-afternoon.
