Chapters Chapter 1 - Hero and Sidekick
THE LEGEND OF LYRA
The sound of birds chirping, the cool breeze swiftly passing by, the beam of the sun rays illuminating the land and not a cloud in the sky. Yes It was a beautiful day in the Everfree Forest where we find a mint green unicorn pony sleeping under a tree, who was completely unaware of what she was about to face. Her name is Lyra and this is her story, her legacy.
"Wake up, Lyra." a mysterious voice whispered in an ominous fashion.
"I said wake up!"
Lyra tossed and turned in her sleep but could not awaken from her slumber.
"So, I see you can't wake up. Why is that I wonder?"
Suddenly a faint sheet of cloud coverage started to to lazily breeze across the sky. It began to thicken and it's flow of movement started to pick up in pace.
"So if I can't wake you up from within your subconscious, then I will have to awaken you from a physical perspective."
The winds flow picked up pace erratically, the clouds thickened and turned dark in shade blotting out the sunlight. The grassy plains dulled in vibrant colour as a single droplet of rain fell from clouds.
"The sooner you wake up, the sooner I get to meet you and the sooner I get to meet you, the sooner I can kill you" The mysterious voice said as the single water droplet plummeted toward the ground.
In Lyra's slumber everything was pitch black until a lighting bolt struck, causing a vision to flash in her head. A lighting bolt struck; A run-down almost ancient looking stone building atop orange desert sand flashed before her.
"Now you see... Lyra, come to me." the mysterious voice demanded.
Lyra awoke from her slumber to release a loud scream. She looked around expecting her surroundings to be in ruins, but everything was as she had last seen it before dozing off.
"Lyra!" She heard softly in the distance. Lyra than sat up followed by standing to her feet, she dusted herself off and started to walk toward the sound she has heard which she could have sworn was her name being called.
"Lyra!" She heard again, this time she could see a figure of who was calling out to her. The figure was very small in size, but could be seen from a mile away with it's illuminating glow. It was a forest fairy named sprout who had become friends with Lyra a few years back.
"There you are Lyra. Been looking for you everywhere."
"And why is that?" Lyra asked with sheer curiosity.
"No reason, I just wanted to see what you were doing."
"Well I am about to head back to Everfree village, did you want to come with?" Asked Lyra.
"Sure, we can go see how your 'big' boyfriend is." sprout giggled.
"He is not my boyfriend, Sprout. He is somepony I would call family, after all he did raise me and he does call me his little sister." explained Lyra.
Lyra and sprout made their way toward Everfree Village discussing random topics about various adventures they would like to go on.
"I would like to go and meet the Princess of Hayrule and hope to become her friend so I can meet all the royalty." Lyra said cheerfully.
"Well I would like to meet the Princess and tell her that this is now my kingdom and make her my slave." Sprout said before bursting with laughter.
"You always have been one to cause mischief, Sprout"
"I know, but that is why you and I go hand in hand. You're the mare who won't do anything fun without me. You just sleep all day and when you aren't doing that you are training with your brother-type-thingy." Replied Sprout.
"Well that is because he believes he won't always be around to protect me and he believes I should be able to protect myself."
"Well Lyra, at least he cares about you. But no matter how much you train, you'll never be as tough as me. After all I am a forest fairy who raised herself." Sprout said with quite the confident attitude.
The pony and fairy had almost arrived at the Everfree Village, when they come across a stream about one meter deep and two meters in width.
"Oooh.. oh dear.." said Sprout quietly.
"I remember this stream. I pass it all the time but I never really took notice of it until you just brought it to my attention, Sprout."
"Yeah, I almost forgot about it." a shudder went down Sprouts spine as she spoke.
"Well if I do recall correctly, I guess you weren't so tough. After all I did save you." snickered Lyra.
Sprout was flying through the forest being chased by Ponyfos.
"Get away from me! Leave me alone!" she shrieked and screamed in fear.
The Ponyfos wouldn't listen and kept chasing her through the woods when one had gotten close enough to her it swiped for her, but she managed to dodge it's attack. Another Ponyfos joined the chase and she now had three Ponyfos chasing her. She began to feel very weak and drained from trying to out-fly the Ponyfos and the newest one to join the chase was completely filled with energy, it's stomach was empty and craving to be filled.
Sprout kept flying as fast as she could but the newcomer Ponyfos was to freshly energized for Sprout to out-fly. The Ponyfos swiped at Sprout, nicking her with enough for to throw her flight pattern off course and bringing her to a crashing halt as she landed in a stream. The fairy cried out in terror.
"I can't fly with wet wings!" she yelled in distress.
Meanwhile Lyra was walking through the Everfree forest to relax after a training session with her brother-figure. She heard the cries of Sprout and her instincts took over.
"Someone is in trouble, my brother would want me to help them." she monologued. "I'm coming!" She shouted as she rushed toward the fairies cries of fear.
As she got to the attack site she could see the helpless fairy flailing in the water she realized she wasn't equipped. But it was too late as only of the Ponyfos had already spotted Lyra and started to make her way toward her, completely forgetting about even chasing Sprout.
"If you ever need to fight your way out of a situation and you are unequipped, look at your surroundings to find anything you can use as a weapon." she remembered him saying during one of her training sessions with him.
She went over to a small tree and ripped off a branch with her mouth.
"You leave her alone." she muffled before lunging at the advancing Ponyfos.
The Ponyfos lunged back at her. As the Ponyfos got in range, Lyra swung the branch down as hard as she could and cracked it across the Ponyfos' head, causing the Ponyfos to collapse into a pile of bones.
"Behind you!" Sprout shouted.
Lyra quickly whipped her head around to see the Ponyfos flying toward her, she leant down on her front hooves and with a powerful thrust, kicked her back legs in the air clashing with the oncoming Ponyfos.
"Oh no, I don't have a weapon." she said fearfully. Lyra tried to get toward a tree to grab another branch but every movement she made the Ponyfos would make a quick counter-action, causing Lyra void access to any form of weapon.
"Wait, you're a unicorn, use your magic!" shouted Sprout.
"Uh..." replied Lyra.
"You can use magic?" asked the puzzled fairy.
"Now isn't the best time to talk about this." said Lyra as she kept trying to maneuver around the Ponyfos. "Argh! I Can't seem to get close enough to get a weapon."
As Lyra tried to trick the Ponyfos into which way she was going to move. She quickly stepped to the right then ran to the left, as she got in range of a tree branch she stumbled upon her own feet and released a loud scream as she tumbled.
"Oh, oh thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!" Sprout shouted with joy.
"Ouch. Yeah, no problems." said Lyra as she slowly limped her way from being in a prone position.
"This is unlike any pony weapon I have seen before, I wonder who made it?" Sprout curiously questioned.
"Yeah... Oh, where are my manners. My name is Lyra. What is your name?"
"Name's Sprout."
"Sprout? What a lovely name." Lyra cheerfully responded.
"You were really brave, have you fought Ponyfos before?" asked Sprout.
"No I have never seen them before, what are those things exactly?" queried the mint green unicorn
"They are skeletal knights, fallen soldiers of Hayrule Castle who fought and died in the Everfree labyrinth. They are forever cursed to live as evil creatures, even though you defeated them, they will just rise again from within the labyrinth." explain Sprout.
"So there is no stopping them?" asked Lyra.
"Well they used to only stay within the confines of the labyrinth but the last few days, strange things have been happening to this land." said Sprout.
"Wow, feels like yesterday we just met, hey Sprout."
"Sure does, Lyra. It's been so long I almost forgot how we met."
"Yeah and also the Ponyfos attack. Seeing Ponyfos nowadays has become rather normal, I completely forgot about them breaking their confines of the labyrinth all that time ago." said the spun-out mint green unicorn.
"Yeah... Well, anyway. Let's get going to Everfree Village." said Sprout as they motioned toward the village.
Chapter 2 - Big Brother's History Lesson
Chapter II
Lyra and Sprout arrived at the Everfree Village.
"So who would know what should we do?" asked Sprout.
"Well I am curious now. As I had forgotten about the event the day I met you, I certainly forgot about that mysterious weapon. I never got to find out what it could be, we should try and find out what it could be." said Lyra
"Okay, so who would know anything about that weapon we saw that day?" asked Sprout
"Well my brother has a good knowledge on weapons and knows a lot of other cool stuff too, no harm in trying to ask him what he may know about it."
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Lyra and Sprout began their search for Lyra's brother-figure. Lyra thought to herself where could he be.
"I think I know where he could be, come on Sprout." said Lyra as she cantered toward her brother's secret area of solitude.
"Wait up, my wings aren't as fast as your 4 legs!" shouted Sprout in her struggle to keep up with the cantering pony.
"S-sorry.. I forgot." replied Lyra as she slowed her pace down and allowed Sprout to catch a ride upon her back.
"So where are we going?" queried Sprout.
"To my brother's place of solitude, he showed me it when I was really young. He told me if I ever feel like I need time to myself that I can go to it whenever I want. I suspect he may be there." explained Lyra.
As the pony reached a (what looked like) a dead end in a valley.
"Uh, maybe you took a wrong turn?" said Sprout.
"Nope, that is the best part about this place of solitude, no one thinks to look around." said Lyra with a giggle like she had something to hide.
"Huh?" the dumfounded Sprout said with a confused look upon her face.
Lyra pointed to a veil of leafy vines across the stone wall of the valley.
"Sprout, I want you to fly as fast as you can directly at those leafy vines." said Lyra with a cheeky grin.
"You're kidding me right?"
"C'mon Sprout don't be chicken." said Lyra before she started imitating the sound of a chicken.
"You can do that all you like, I'd rather not hurt myself." Sprout shrugged
"Too bad, you're doing it." Lyra grabbed Sprout in her mouth and flung her toward the veil of vines.
As Sprout parted the vines and poked her head through"Oh that is so not cool, Lyra." she said.
Lyra just giggled and walked toward the vines, she parted the vines and walked into the opening. It was a cavern behind the leafy veil.
"Even though I am not happy you threw me, this is pretty cool." said the shocked sprout as she looked around the cavern.
The pony and the fairy progressed through the cavern toward the light at the end.
"Hello, Big Mac. Sorry to disturb your meditation." said Lyra
"That's okay little sister and hello to you too Sprout." replied Big Mac
"Hey Big Mac."
"So what brings you two to the solitude?" asked Big Mac
"Well Sprout and I were walking through the forest as we came across a stream. This stream was where I met Sprout after saving her from 3 Ponyfos. Well I saved her from two, but something or somepony saved me from the last one." said Lyra.
"So what are you getting at?" replied Big Mac
"Well the thing that saved me was a mysterious weapon I haven't seen before. It was long and thin, very thin. Made from deku stick had a silver tip that was triangular in shape." explained Lyra.
"That sounds like an arrow. A weapon used by the Sheika ponies. The Sheika haven't been around for centuries. When did you say this happened?" said Big Mac.
"Well as I said, the day I met Sprout. which was about three years ago." replied Lyra.
"So that must mean that somepony has created it or the Sheika are still around." Big Mac said as he scratched his head.
"So who or what are the Sheika?" asked the intrigued pony.
"The Sheika were a tribe of zebra's who used to live in harmony with the ponies. But one day, when the Sheika tribal chief asked the princess of Hayrule for help in a war against the Gerudo thieves, the princess declined helping them. Causing their bond to be shattered, the tribal chief was confused why the princess declined helping them, even after previous wars of the Sheika and Equestrians fighting side by side. " explained Big Mac.
"Wow, you sure do know a lot about things that have happened in Hayrule." said Lyra with a look of amazement on her face.
"Well my family have been around for generations and used to be part of the soldiers who fought along with the Sheika." replied Big Mac.
"It was a powerful creature, with magic that could be unmatched, his name was Discord." said Big Mac.
"Tell me more about this Discord character, I am interested." enquired Lyra
"Discord is God of chaos, he is a Draconequus, with the head of a Pony and a body of various creatures. He used to rule over the Gerudo ponies many years ago, until the war upon them and Sheika took place. After several grueling days the Gerudo were defeated, Discord was infuriated at his loss of the war, so he used all his power and cast a spell that eliminated the Sheika. However, his spell caused immense strain on himself and he lost control of his spell causing him to be taken with the Sheika. Legend has it he will rise again 1000 years after that event took place." explained Big Mac.
"That is a lot to take in big brother, but I thank-you for help. Well Sprout let's go back to Everfree village." said Lyra as she made her way toward the exit of the sanctuary.
"You stay safe." shouted Big Mac as Lyra passed through the leafy veil of vines.
Sprout poked her head through the leafy veil and told Big Mac not to worry, that she will take care of Lyra.
Lyra and Sprout began walking back toward the village, Lyra began thinking about her dream some more and what it could mean. Sprout noticed Lyra seemed a bit different than usual.
"Look at the sky, it's beginning to get dark, it must be getting late. How time flies when you're being told a story." said Lyra.
"Yeah, well I don't want to be out flying around in the dark, can I stay at your cottage?" asked Sprout.
"Sure."
The two pressed onto Lyra's cottage. As they were venturing toward Everfree Village Sprout started to concern about Lyra and the facial expressions she had the whole time they were walking back from the sanctuary. She knew something was up, but didn't want to seem intrusive by asking, but she knows that a good friend would worry if they thought their friend had problems.
"What's wrong, Lyra?"
"Huh? What are talking about Sprout?" replied Lyra with hesitance.
"Nothing really, you just seem really.. Not yourself." said Sprout.
"I'm fine, I promise." Lyra replied with a smile that Sprout could see straight through.
"Okay I believe you, sorry for asking."
They continued walking when Lyra suddenly heard something that sounded like a quiet voice being carried through the gentle breeze 'burn' it sounded like.
"Did you hear that, Sprout?" she asked.
"The wind?" replied Sprout.
"You heard the voice in the wind!" she replied in hope.
"I heard the wind and the sound of it passing through the leaves, but no voice. Maybe you're hearing things." Sprout followed by a giggle.
As the got close to Everfree Village Lyra felt like something wasn't right. She also caught whiff of an abnormal aroma in the air, the smell of sulfur and wood being chard. She looked up into the sky to realize that it wasn't as late as she thought but the sky had darkened from billowing dark gray smoke passing atop in the sky.
"That's coming from Everfree!" Lyra shouted before she rushed off galloping toward Everfree Village.
"W-wait for me!" shouted out Sprout trailing behind Lyra.
Sprout caught up with Lyra, as Lyra came to a halt.
"Thank-you for waiting up for me, Lyra. Lyra!?"
Sprout looked toward Lyra to see her face in despair.
"What's up?" she asked.
Lyra was stunned and wouldn't reply, Sprout in her rush to discover what had Lyra so distraught didn't think to look ahead. She turned her head away from Lyra in curiosity at what Lyra was looking at to see a blazing fire all across Everfree Village. Lyra's eyes began filling up with a droplet of moisture that trickled down her cheek.
"M-my home." she quietly cried out.
The site of ponies running in fear, everyponies house set ablaze, the look upon everyponies face. It was to much for Lyra to handle, she felt sickened by the site as well as extremely angered. She released a long and loud scream.
"That sounded like Lyra." said Big Mac as he heard the loud scream while walking back toward Everfree Village.
He galloped toward the village, upon reaching it he saw Lyra sitting there crying. He quickly made his way over to Lyra and place his hoof on her shoulder.
"Are you hurt?" he asked her.
But she was too shocked to answer Big Mac, let alone even notice his hoof on her shoulder. Big Mac told Lyra to 'wait there' but she didn't even hear him. He quickly galloped over to every house to see if everypony had safely evacuated their homes. He looked through a window of the first house he went to, but he couldn't see anypony.
"Anyone in there?" he shouted
"H-help." he heard from the house next door.
Big Mac rushed over to the house.
"Where are you?" he yelled out.
"In here, quickly, I'm stuck under a beam of wood." the voice replied.
Big Mac went over to the door, turn away from it and gave it a hard buck. knocking it off it's hinges and sending it crashing to the floor. Big Mac rushed into the home to see the pony stuck under the wood beam.
"Cheerilee!" he shouted as he rushed to her aid.
He placed his head in an opening wedge of the beam and with all his strength he lifted it off Cheerilee's back and helped her to her feet.
"Thank-you so much Big Mac." said Cheerilee followed by giving Big Mac a kiss on the cheek.
"You're welcome, now quickly, go!" he said.
Big Mac checked every other house, thankfully everypony had escaped safely. He then made his way back to Lyra.
"C'mon, Lyra. Let's go find somewhere to stay." said Big Mac with great concern and heartbreak in his voice.
"Why not the sanctuary?" asked Sprout.
"Sounds good to me." he replied.
Big Mac began walking toward the sanctuary, but Lyra wouldn't move, she was still in too much shock. Big Mac went over to Lyra, but to Lyra it was like Big Mac wasn't even there. He picked her up and place her on his back and carried her as he made his way toward the sanctuary with Sprout flying right beside Lyra.
"Lyra, I hope you are okay." she said softly to her.
Chapter 3 - Quest For Hayrule
Chapter 3
They arrived at the sanctuary. Big Mac placed Lyra upon the ground and told her to "get some rest" but she didn't reply.
"Lyra? I hope you come back to normal soon." said Sprout as she looked upon the face of the mint green ponies face of despair.
"We should all try and get some sleep and tomorrow we'll think about where we are going to go in the morning." said Big Mac as he laid down.
"Sounds like a good idea to me." replied Sprout as she cozied up to Lyra.
Lyra still in shock gained motion enough to rest her head on the ground, she closed her eyes and tried her best to doze off to sleep. As Lyra finally descended into sleep, she began to dream. Everything was pitch black, with the sound of crackling, like wood burning in fire. A glowing orange light illuminated her dream slowly creating the image of flames, her dream started to breathe life into itself. All she could see was trees blazing in fire, like a veil of flames, she then heard screams and suddenly ponies were running back an forth in a manner of fear, the fiery trees faded into the shape of the Everfree Village cottage's.
"You have lost it all, Lyra." said a mysterious voice. "Your home, is nothing but ash and smoke now."
Lyra squirmed in her sleep, causing Sprout to wake up.
"Ergh... Lyra, stop squirming. You woke me up." Sprout said only to notice Lyra's lips quivering and eyes tensing, Sprout knew that Lyra was having a nightmare and tried to wake her up. She gave her a gentle nudge.
"Lyra, wake up." she said as she nudged her again with slightly more force.
Lyra's dream continued, but it was no longer displaying the Everfree Village, but instead it was displaying the run down old building in the orange desert sands.
"You want to get vengeance, come to me then, come and take your revenge." said the voice followed by laughter.
The run down old building began to distance itself from Lyra's vision.
"Allow me to show you the path you seek for revenge." the voice said as it displayed the way toward the run down old building from the Everfree forest.
"Now you know where to come and you know what you seek, come to me and try to seek your revenge. But I do warn you now, you will not find revenge, for I will destroy you." the voice said followed by laughter and visions of lighting flashed in Lyra's dream to display a face briefly, that face was the face of evil.
"For I am Discord." he yelled as Lyra snapped out of her sleeping state and stood up with a snap throwing Sprout across the room.
"Woah! Lyra what are you doi- wait, you can move again! Can you talk?" said Sprout in excitement.
"Y-yes I can." replied Lyra quietly.
"What's all the noise about?" Big Mac said while yawning.
"Lyra can move and talk again." Sprout shouted out with glee.
"Well that is great news. Are you okay now Lyra?" asked Big Mac.
"Yeah, as good as anypony after what happened to our village." she replied.
Lyra almost forgot about her dream until she remember what happened to the village.
"Big Mac, I had a dream, well not so much a dream. A nightmare, about what happened to the village." said Lyra.
"Well that is understandable, it happened not too long ago and gave you traumatic shock." replied Big Mac.
"But there is more to it then that. A voice was telling me that I want to seek revenge, which I do. It showed me a vision that I have seen before in a past dream. A vision of an old ancient building in the desert." said Lyra.
"A building in a desert?" said Big Mac with curiosity.
"The voice then revealed itself as 'Discord' isn't that the creature that attacked the Sheika tribe?" Lyra asked Big Mac.
"Lyra, what are you saying?" asked Big Mac "Are you trying to tell me that Discord did this to our village? That can't be true, you should know better to lie, he eliminated himself a thousand years ag-" he stopped and realized what he said.
"It's been one thousand years since Discord was eliminated. Could it be that the stories are true?" he said in an overwhelmed manner.
"I must go and seek revenge on him." said Lyra with a determined tone in her voice.
"Are you crazy!? He will kill you. besides, it's most likely just a crazy dream!" shouted Big Mac.
"Then what am I supposed to do? what if these are more than just dreams and I am actually destined to do fight him?" Said Lyra.
Big Macintosh stood in silence and looked at Lyra with a slight grin and a slight frown.
"There ain't nothin' I can do to stop you is there?" he said.
"Afraid not, I mean. we don't have a village anymore and I feel in my heart it's what I must do." she said in a courageous manner.
"Well, I suppose I have been training you for when I am no longer around to protect you, It makes sense." Said Big Mac. "wait right here, I got something that could help you." he said as he wandered over to the center of the sanctuary and bucked the sculpture in the middle. The Sculpture had and echoing ring before shattering to reveal a sword in a sheath and belt, shield, leather boots and a green tunic.
"What is this stuff Mac?" the curious mint green pony queried.
"It's your equipment." he replied.
"My equipment? Are you trying to tell me that you've had this stuff sitting here for me all this time?" she asked.
"Eeyup." He replied with a smile on her face.
"So basically we're going to go and fight and try to defeat an all powerful god-like type creature who managed to wipe out a whole race in his dying breath? Well seems like a fun idea, let's go all in and get ourselves annihilated." Sprout said followed by giggling.
"Oh Sprout, I'm sorry, I forgot you where there." Lyra said with a snicker.
"Nice to know you too." she replied.
"heh heh sorry about that." said Lyra.
Lyra walked over to the equipment, she slipped her hooves into the leather boots, she grabbed the tunic in her mouth and positioned it, she reared into the air and stretched her front legs upwards, the tunic slipped over her head and front legs. She grabbed the sword in her mouth and slid her head and front right leg through the sheath belt, followed by throwing the shield upon her back.
"I'm just curious, how will I used the shield and sword?" Lyra asked Big Mac.
"When the time comes, you will know." replied Mac.
"Oh look at mister philosopher." said the cheeky fairy.
"Well, you've always been like a little sister to me I suppose it's time for me to say goodbye." said Big Mac.
"I'll see you again, I promise." replied Lyra and she walked over to Big Mac and gave him a hug.
"Stay safe." he said with a tone of concern.
"We're actually doing this, eh?" asked Sprout.
"Eeyup." replied Big Mac.
Lyra made her way toward the exit of the sanctuary. "I'll come back safely I promise." she said as she passed through the leafy vine veil.
"I'll do my best to watch over her Big Mac." said Sprout before she whisked away in a hurry toward the exit.
Lyra and Sprout find themselves on the other side of the sanctuary cave.
"Okay, so which was do we go?" asked Sprout.
"I think it's this way to Hayrule fields, I've never been there before." replied Lyra.
"No harm in trying, let us go onward." said Sprout.
The two began heading in the direction opposite the path to where Everfree village used to stand. Lyra stopped, looked down the path that would lead to the village, a tear welled up in her and and trickled down her cheek.
"I shall avenge you all, my fellow villagers." she said before cantering off down the path they hope takes them to the exit of Everfree forest.
"W-wait up." Sprout shouted before she flew as fast as she could to keep up with Lyra.
They both pressed on along the pathway that could lead them anywhere.
"So what makes you think that this is the way?" shouted Sprout.
"A feeling, purely a feeling I have. Like I am being drawn to that area." said Lyra as she continued cantering along the path.
Suddenly a Ponyfos ambushed Lyra, lunging at her and tackling her to the ground.
"Oh no!" cried out Sprout.
"Argh! Get off me!" shouted Lyra as tried to throw the Ponyfos off her.
"Hey you pile of bones, leave her alone." shouted Sprout as she flew swiftly toward the Ponyfos and kicking it in the head, however the Ponyfos was unharmed by the small fairies kick, but it distracted it enough for Lyra to throw it off, she used her might and lunged the creature off her with her back legs. Lyra then stood up and with her mouth grabbed the sword from the sheath and gave it a hard swing as she unsheathed it, cutting off the Ponyfos' head, but it was still alive.
"Is it just me or have these things gotten stronger over time?" she said as she swung the sword back but missed as the Ponyfos has been thrown back from the force of her first attack, so she prepares herself, she lines up he next swing. The Ponyfos gets ready to lunge at her.
"C'mon you pile of old bones." she said softly.
The Ponyfos lunged at her, Lyra acted quickly and swung the sword down vertically, slicing the Ponyfos into a pile of bones.
"Thanks for helping me Sprout, I would have been a goner if you hadn't distracted it." said Lyra as she huffed and puffed.
"You're welcome, what else would I be doing here if it wasn't for saving your klutz behind hehe." replied Sprout.
"Hey, I see an opening over there, let's check it out." said Lyra as she quickly trotted toward the opening.
"Yes, I think we've found it, I think we've reached Hayrule field." she said in excitement.
"So where do were do we go when we reach Hayrule field?" asked Sprout.
I'd say we go to the closest town, which if I remember Big Mac telling me correctly, it's where the Princess lives, I should let her know what had happened to my village, if these dreams of my are any correlation to the event, the princess would know where I can go to find this Discord, she should know where the Sheika tribe had fought as she was alive one thousand years ago.
"A thousand year old princess surely would be old looking." Sprout said cheekily.
Lyra and Sprout exited the forest to see a huge field ahead of them, Lyra had never seen such a huge open space, she was so used to seeing trees everywhere that was a stone throw unlike the open plains of Hayrule field that only had tree every so often.
"Wow, I have never seen anything like this, it's huge, how do we find the town?" she asked Sprout.
"What would you do without me. Look at the sign there." Sprout replied.
Lyra saw a sign that had three arrows the top one said 'Everfree Village' the second one facing the opposite way said 'Hayrule Castle Town' and the third one was blank.
"Hmmm, looks like we go this way to get to Castle Town." said Lyra.
"Let's go." Sprout said as she rushed toward Castle Town. "C'mon slowpoke."
Lyra smiled and start galloping toward Castle Town following behind Sprout.
After a while of motioning along the pathway toward Castle town, Lyra caught site of the walls that surrounded the town.
"Woah! I-it's huge!" She shouted.
"Well it is the biggest town in all of Hayrule, what did you expect silly filly." replied Sprout.
"Hey, I am not a filly, Big Mac may treat me like a one." Lyra said before Sprout cut her of.
"You're only ten years old, you're still a filly for a bit longer." Sprout reminded her.
"Yeah, well still, I'm grown up enough to be out here adventuring." replied Lyra.
"That is true." Sprout said.
They both eventually reached the entrance to Castle Town, and where both instantly overwhelmed by the mass amount of ponies that were walking around before them.
"Well looks like we should ask around how to get to the castle." Said Lyra as she progress toward ponies to enquire.
