Well, here it is. The 2nd Chapter. Hopefully it's ok, and does what it needs to do. I had a hard time writing it, but I decided that Ruto might need to search for her stone for a bit.

"Gyhhaaa, uuullcckkk!" Ruto plugs her nose at the odor. "Ehwwwhhhu, Jabu Jabu, what have you been eating?" The young princess puts her arm up to her face to subside the smell, yet it is still awful. She's been in here plenty of times before, but for some reason it's different. The aroma for one, reeks of rotten seaweed, and decaying fish flesh.

Suddenly, two octopuses with purple skin, and daunting yellow eyes spring up from the pools of saliva. "Eeek!" Chesnut colored seeds the size of Ruto's fist, are hurled at her. Without hesitation, she grabs one, and then another. Sprinting toward the foriegn creature, she kicks it up into the air. The octupus lands on the roof of Jabu Jabu's mouth, and stays. It won't be long before he falls, so Ruto uses on of the spare seeds to knock out the other.

With one seed in her hand, she continues toward the the throat. Murky brown seaweed covers the entrance to Jabu Jabu's throat. With the last seed in her hand, Ruto throws it at a piece of askew flesh potruding from the roof of the mouth. The seaweed blocking the entrance falls off the opening, and Ruto enters the throat.

Around her she can see that the healthy red color of Jabu Jabu's throat is now discolored. It's more dull than before, and has weird tinges of color to it. The lining of the throat is a mixture of pink and red, it jiggles and moves as air is circulated throughout the throat.

Her eyes spot a squishy figure embedded in the ground, as she moves past it, a jellyfish with a blue top, and violet tentacles pops up. Out of curiosity she touches the top of it, and finds that it's squishy. "Oooh, this is a weird texture." Her hands slip down to the tentacles as the jellyfish moves upward.

Blue currents move over Ruto causing her to fall to her feet. Spasms and shudders ripple over the young zora's body. "Aaauuhhhhhggg," her trembling fingers move away from the jellyfish to prevent another encounter with it. The electricity leaves Ruto on the throat lining, disoriented and thoroughly shocked.

"You're just full of surprises Jabu Jabu."

Once fully recovered, she pushes herself off the ground. Making her way down the throat, she enters a part of Jabu Jabu with four swirling holes. There's a seaweed colored piece of flesh, extending from the top to the bottom of it. More jellyfish make their way around the room. Out of fear, Princess Ruto makes a run for it, slipping along the flesh flooring, and down a hole she goes. Hurdling face forward, she drops down to a lower level, and somersaults to soften the fall.

"Phew! That was close," she brushes herself off as she rises from the ledge. At the ledge, Ruto decides to give the room a once over. Tilting her head up, then down, right, left, she scans all around, yet her eyes fail to spot any sparks of sapphire.

Sighing, she jumps off the ledge, and onto the ground. There are more jellyfish, and a few bouncing bubbles.

"Must," Ruto clenches her fist, "resist," her eyes close this time, "urge." She scrunches her face, and whirls her head, similar to a gesture that signifies, NO. She repeats herself, and adds more words. "Must. Resist. Urge. To. Pop. Bubbles." Her voice is on the brink of losing it, and her lips stammer as her left eyelid begins to twitch. "AAAHGGA!" She loses it, and begins to dash at the bubble with crazed irises. Princess Ruto smacks into the bubble, popping it.

A filthy film of grime coats her skin. The young princess buckles over and begins to spew her guts out at the awful stench. Once it's over, she wipes her face off, and shakes herself. "Never again." Continuing onward, Ruto skims her current surroundings.

She spots a patch of green weed that trails up to the upper floor. "Maybe I should climb this," her thought is voiced out loud, bouncing off the flesh of Jabu Jabu. The note in the bottle! What if there's someone looking for me! Anxious to reach the upper level she makes her way to the patch of green. Two zora hands grasp the weed, and grab tangible weed above one another in a swift and rhymic motion. It's a bit slimy, yet Ruto manages to keep a firm grip, and haul herself upward.

Once at the end of the weed, and at the upper level, she lets go of it, and skips to the ground, careful to avoid a sucking hole. Giving herself a few moments of rest, she catches her breath. Her eyelids become heavy with sleep, and shut out her dull pink surroundings.
