Lanayru found comfort in the presence of her stolen horse while waiting at the gate. The guard beside her seemed stoic and uninterested, but the mare responded with a nuzzle as Lanayru gently stroked her mane and whispered words of gratitude for carrying her to safety. Despite the uncertainty that lay ahead, the moment brought her a sense of calmness.

After a few minutes, the guard who had left to inform their superior returned with orders from the Captain. "He wants to speak with you, Miss," he said.

Lanayru followed the guard through the gate, feeling safe in the presence of the man who didn't seem hostile. Before leaving, she turned to the other guard and said, "Please take care of my horse. She's been through a lot, and I'm sure she's just as exhausted as I am."

The guard nodded in understanding as Lanayru was escorted to meet with Captain Orin. "Sir, this is the refugee from Lon Lon Ranch," the guard announced.

Lanayru introduced herself with a perfect courtesy that revealed her as Hylian nobility. "Thank you for seeing me, sir. My name is Lanayru. I was telling the guards about the attack, but I didn't mention the man that led them. He was called Ganon's executioner. Based on his size, I believe he's a Moblin who commanded the Stalfos. He has taken the owner's daughter prisoner."

Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Lanayru continued, "I cannot bear to witness the destruction of Hyrule any longer. I want to help save my home."
