My gut churned with the thought of what I was about to do. I held my bag closely to my side and slowly slid the window open. I checked once more that the note I had left for my parents was still on the table. It was difficult to describe what I was about to do. I did not want them to worry, but that was obviously inevitable. Finally finding the words to write, I had written:

"Dear Mum and Dad.

I want you to know that I have not run off with that man, Killorin, to marry him. I'm simply helping him. And this will help us too.

I know you'll be worried, but know I'll be as safe as possible and will come back home once I'm done.

I love you.

Y/N"

I slid crept through the garden and slid over the fence. I saw Killorin with his horse only over a few hills. I ran as fast as I could with my bag. He noticed me not too far from him and he stood up.

I ran to his side.

"You better be right about this or so help me, Ganon is going to be the least of your worries." I threatened. He held his hands up.

"Don't worry. It will work. I'm certain." How could he be though? That thing was literally a giant beast. It could not hold a conversation could it? Surely not. With my head in my hand I shook and walked towards the fire. It was a surprisingly chilly night, well that could've been how frozen my blood was from this entire idea. Every fibre of my being was filled with doubt, but I could still feel the need to help. Maybe that was just my stupidity. I don't know. 

"Don't worry Y/N. I'll be damned if you're injured." Killorin said sitting besides me.

"It's not me I'm worried about. What about my parents? I know they'll be worried sick." I said biting my knuckle.

"Look, Y/N, I know they'll be worried. But if we're lucky it will all be worth it!" He said, hand on my shoulders.

"Lucky?" I said unamused.

He simply began leading me to a horse. A very... odd horse..... it was....

"Familiar?" Killorin asked snapping me out of my daze. I looked to him and nodded.

"Should be. He was yours."

"How can I remember that." I asked.

"Well, you two been partners many times. Your soul has linked with him just as much as it has Ganondorf."

"Many times?" I asked. "Killorin just how many times have I 'reincarnated'?"

"Goodness knows. But throughout all of them he's been by your side as your trusty steed."

"And how would you know?" I asked.

"Just a hunch. I mean it's not every day you set put for a mission to find somebody and a horse just randomly starts following you in the desert." He explained with a chuckle.

I raised my eyebrow at him but looked back at the steed. His eyes loocked into my own with a calm gaze. I smiled and petted his snout. He nudged into me and tickled me with his breath. I smiled patted the horses neck. I felt at ease with this steed by my side and knew Killorin must be telling the truth. It just felt to right.

Just as it did to go find Ganondorf.

I walked around my horse to finally mount him and guide him.

"Wait. Now!?" Killorin asked confused.

"If you want what's best for me and Ganondorf then you'll get up and leave straight away." I argued. He stretched his back with an annoyed huff but eventually mounted his steed and followed me.

It was a slow trot over the steep hills that surrounded my house, but once we were in the flatter fields my steed seemed to take off and began galloping away with me holding onto his coat for dear life. Killorin rode up besides me and pushed me back up to a sitting position.

"Careful there. We'll get you a saddle and bridle later." He commented riding in front of me.

As we rode faster I tightly pulled my clothes around as the freezing midnight air hit my face that I tried to cover.

'Should've bought some warmer clothes.' I could hear my mum mentally scolding me. It made me look back once more seeing the house so far away and small.

My gut sunk once more and I contemplated turning around and riding back. But once again something pulled me away. The reassurance of an unseen presence. I did what I normally wouldn't do and shook my gut feeling off.

I needed to help my parents. If this crazy plan does work then I'll do exactly that.

I needed to know more about my existence.
