Hey everyone, sorry about the late upload of this one, I had a little writer's block and school started again (I uploaded the rest of the parts during my wither break) but I'm pretty proud of this one. I can't wait for the next one either, because something big will happen in that chapter, along with the *GASP* Water Temple!

/Means thoughts in a character's mind/

Chapter 7 - The Fire Dragon

-Link's POV-

Michelle and I walk through the boss door, getting hit by a wall of hot air as it opens. I thought the rest of the dungeon was hot, but this is a furnace! I see a rounded square made of rock jutting out of a lava moat that surrounds the edge of the room. Holes fill with lava dot the square. When we walk onto the square the boss door closes and something rises out of one of the holes; the evil dragon, Volvagia! The snake-like beast slowly flies out and starts spitting fire at us. Michelle takes out her bow and strings an arrow, making slight movements to lock on to the dragon's head. It flies into another hole and disappears for a few seconds.

The dragon then quickly launches out of a hole nearest Michelle, knocking her off. "Michelle!" I scream, running toward where she was knocked off. I sigh with relief when I see her fingers gripping onto the sides.

-Michelle's POV-

I'm gripping on to the rock, dangling above the lava, my mind racing. /Oh Goddess, I hope I don't fall./ A jet of air puffs up and blows off something I hold dear- My glasses! They tumble off my face and straight into the lava. I gasp a little and let go. I scream as I fall to what seems to be my death. Thankfully, Link grabs my hand just in time and pulls me up onto the stone platform. "You okay?" he says to me with a worried look. "I'm fine, but I lost my glasses…" I say, waving my arms toward Link, and grabbing his face. "Is this you?" I ask confusedly. "Yes, and please stop grabbing my face!" He says, pushing my arms away. "Please just start shooting at the dragon, we have to stop it!" "Okay!" I yell happily, and string an arrow on my bow, pulling the string taut. I shoot and miss the dragon entirely, barely scraping Link's head as he takes a swing at the dragon with his hammer. "Hey!" he yells, clutching his hat to his head.

"Hey, I'm shooting blind here!" I yell back. He runs over to me and says, "Could you give me a boost?" I look at him confused, and he says "Just throw me towards it!" I cup my hands and he puts his foot in them. I lift up and he uses that as a boost, jumping up and slamming his hammer into the dragon's head. The dragon then started exploding in segments from the tail up, each segment turning into bone. Each bone disintegrates in blue fire as it hit's the ground. A new Heart Container appears for both of us and we pick them up. I again feel that comforting warm light I felt at the Forest Temple, and I feel a little stronger. My vision fades to white once again as I step into the blue light leading to the Chamber of the Sages.
