Chapter 2

Link and everybody else were sitting in the corner of the main building (which would be the first building to the left) waiting for Malon’s return. Link looked around and saw the house had changed as well. There was a big desk in front of the stairs with a notebook with all the guest’s names. Link saw that Talon still kept a few cuccos in the building, they’re probably the super cuccos Talon was talking about last time he talked to him. Finally Malon walked down the stairs and looked at the group with a smile. “Ok, I asked my dad if you guys can stay here for free… and he said no. But he did say you can stay here at half price,” said the little ranch girl,
“Well that’s ok, how much is it?” asked Link,
“About 20 rupees each,” she said,
“Ok,” said Link as he gave Malon the rupees,
”Thanks… Follow me,” she said.

Link and co. walked down the green grass to a three foot high building. As Link walked along he started looking around and saw there were four new buildings that were added to the ranch. Link then saw an old man walking around ‘Probably one of the guest’ thought Link. As the group got closer he was very surprised to see the man, he looked as though he was one hundred fifty years old, which struck Link as odd, because from his earlier travels, Link learned that it’s almost impossible for Hylans to go past the age of eighty. Link then asked Malon,
“Who these people again,”
“Oh them, they’re just some visitors that came from the south,” she said,
“You don’t think it’s strange that a lot of them just started coming here,”
“Not really, Hyrule is a beautiful place this time of year,” she said. Then Link remembered what the Great Deku Tree told him ‘I sense a disturbance from the south, a war to be exact’ then Link said,
“Maybe they’re refugees,”
“What… refugees?” said Zelda,
“Yeah, back in the Kokiri Forest the Great Deku Tree told me there was a war happening in the South,” he said,
“War is a horrible thing,” said Nabooru,
“I remember the war we had twelve years ago, it was horrible,” half of the Gerudo race was destroyed. It was when Ganodorf’s dark side first surfaced,” said the Gerudo. Everybody then walked up to the building in the middle of all the other inns.

Everybody walked into the inn and made their way up to the third floor. Then Malon stopped and said, “Ok, listen, we only had three rooms, they each have two beds, so you are all gonna have to choose your roommate,” then everybody looked at each other.
“Well, I’m Zelda’s caretaker so I’ll be her roommate,” said Impa,
“I guess I’ll be with Nabooru,” said Ruto,
“And I’ll be with the same room as Link,” said Rauru,
“But what about Darunia,” said Link,
“It’s ok, when I was younger I used to travel all around Hyrule, I’ll be ok sitting outside,” said the Goron,
“Well if you’re sure,” said Malon.
“I’m sure,” said the Goron. So everybody entered their rooms and went to sleep.
