Description
It was the middle of the summer at the dunes of the Greudo Desert.  The sun was beating down form above, causing the only cactus to appear as if it were surrounded by a pool of water.  There was a man lying on his horse, as if he were dead.  He fell off his horse right next to a pool of water a few miles later.  His horse began nudging him with its nose, trying to wake him.  A few minutes later he started waking up.  When he fell asleep again in despair (he had not yet seen the pool), his horse splashed him with water.
"Aah!  Epona!  down girl!"he said in surprise.  Then he saw the water.  "....water...WATER!  WATER!".  He was crying by now, drinking the water, which by now seemed like nectar to him.  Thirst quenching sugar, at that.  He drank until he felt like he was going to burst, and when he didn't feel like he was going to burst anymore he went on drinking.  When he was done, he sat up and filled his water bottle to the brim.  Then he began to bathe in the pool with his clothes  on.  before he was done he heard a voice.
"Hello?  Who's there?" he said.  Then he heard a scurry behind him.  He looked around.  It was getting dark.  He'd better get going.  When he got out, he realized Epona wasn't where he left her.  In her place was a girl, about his age, with pink hair and purple eyes.  She was very pretty.  And by the looks of it, she was just as surprised as he.
"Who are you, ma’am?" he asked.  She looked very surprised at that.  It was as if nobody had asked her name before now.   It also looked as if she expected him to know her.
"Don't you remember?" she said. " Its me, Epona.  You know, your horse?  And you've never told me your name before.
“M-m-MY name!?!” he stuttered.  “Uhhh...my name is Link.  And how could you possibly be my horse when your not even a horse!?
“Well...I used to be a horse.  But I decided I didn’t like it, so I changed out of that form.  Before you ask, I’ll explain everything later.  First I have to ask you a question.  I beg of you, hero of time, you have been the only one I have ever trusted besides Malon, and I have seen you save many a civilization.  Please save my people.  Will you?”
“Umm...sure?” Link said.  He didn’t have time to say anything else, for Epona instantly, out of glee, hugged (crushed rather) him.
“Oh THANK YOU, THANK YOU!”she squealed.  Link was gasping for air now, his eyes almost popping.
“O...k... can’t...breathe” Link gasped.
“Oh!” Epona had forgotten about how hard she was hugging him.  “I’m so sorry link!  Ooh, I’m so thirsty.  I need a drink.”  She went to the pool to get a drink.  When she was done, she got up and filled up a water bottle she had been hiding.
“I’ll transform back into a horse just to make it easer on both of us, ok?”  She then turned into a horse right before Link’s eyes.  Now he’d seen everything.  He only got on because he thought he might be hallucinating.  A few miles later they hit quick sand.  There was nothing they could do about it, so they just let themselves be swallowed up...
