//------------------------------// // Awakening Princess Luna // Story: Legend of Zelda: Equestria // by Robert Emerald Fountain //------------------------------// As Link rode closer to where Luna had been sent, the sky grew darker as night fell on Equestria. He decided to set up camp so he would not be sleepy during the rest of the trip. After giving Epona an apple, he warmed some of his soup over a small fire and ate slowly before laying down to rest. The next morning, he was up bright and early. They reached the Galloping Gorge and Epona saw a section of the rock face with reflective surfaces in several spots that looked like they were magnetized. Putting on his iron boots, Link began scaling the slopes and confirmed that the reflective surfaces were indeed magnetic. Shadow beasts were in larger quantities here, but they were no match for the Master Sword, or Link's bow and arrows. He soon reached a ledge 300 feet above the ground, and spotted Luna. Repeating what he did with Celestia, he pulled back a light arrow and charged Luna with the energy. Luna woke up with a startle and thanked Link for coming to their aid. She tied a rope to a sturdy point on the ledge and Link rappelled to the ground. "I hope we can save Equestria before it's too late," Epona said worriedly. "I hope so too," Link replied. Link looked at the map and saw Cadence's cutie mark over the Dragon Lands. Without hesitating, he cracked the reins and Epona began dashing.
