Hey, I'm back! Ready with a brand new chapter!

Sorry it's been so long. What's it been? A whole month? Sorry about that… I'll try to not let that happen again. But you know, life gets in the way. But to make up for it, this is an extra-long chapter, and it's the END of this dungeon. HOORAY.

So, I bought Skyward Sword, and so far it's pretty good. A lot of this chapter is from the Earth Temple in Skyward Sword. So yeah, call me unoriginal, but I have no idea what else to do with this dungeon. I can't wait for it to be over. I hate having Zelda as Midna, it messes with my mind.

Anyway, ON WITH THE NEXT CHAPTER!

Disclaimer: I don't own LOZ, or anything associated with it. Plus, I have NO MONEY, so it's pretty much pointless to sue.

"Search everywhere," Link said. "There's got to be some switch or key or something to get us out of here."

We walked the perimeter of the small circular chamber, but found nothing but spider webs and dirt.

"So, what now?" I asked.

"Come here," said Link, crouching down and examining something underneath the dirt. "It's a switch." He stepped on it, but the room remained eerily silent, and nothing changed.

"Wait a minute!" I said, and ran over to a switch right beside it. I stepped on it, and the floor began rising. We rose for a few more minutes until the floor finally locked into place and we arrived in a larger circular room with one door leading out. One locked door, that is.

"Hey, look!" said Link, running over to a large treasure chest in the middle of the room. He opened it up and inside was a long leather string with a hook on the end, attached to a handle. A whip. "Hmm," he said, examining it. "I would have thought it would be a key, but I guess this'll have to do."

"Yeah, but how do we get that key?" I asked, and pointed to a metal key hanging high above our heads.

"Simple," he stated. He snapped the whip upwards, and the key came to the ground. "Here, you take this," he handed me the large whip. "You only have a sword. You could use some more weapons."

"Thanks," I said as I slipped the whip into my belt.

He grabbed the key from off the floor and slid it into the lock. There was a small click as he turned it, and it fell to the floor with a loud thud.

We entered a large chamber covered with purple water and a bridge in the middle.

"Look over there," said Link, pointing to a barred door on the other side of the room.

"Yeah, I'd say that's the exit," he responded. "But how are we supposed to get it open?"

"Look at the two switches over there," I said, pointing to long switches that were attached to the bridge.

"Right," he started. "But were surrounded by water, or whatever this stuff is."

"Swim, perhaps?" I suggested. He shook his head. I gave him a confused look, and he responded by pulling some grass from the soft ground and throwing it into the water. It burned away until it was nothing but a sinking pile of ash.

I cocked my head in the direction of two large stone balls floating right beside the platform we were standing on. Link gave me a nod and we both hopped on. Somehow, Link managed to look graceful while probably looked like a court jester.

"I have never done something so ridiculous in my life!" I said. He just gave a chuckle and continued farther towards the middle of the poison lake.

We rolled towards the first switch on the south side of the bridge. I almost fell into the water, but regained my balance as Link pushed the switch inwards. It made a slight click, and the bars on the door rose halfway.

The second switch was on the other side of the bridge at the other end, so we would have to pass under the bridge to get to it. The only problem was that there was a large whirlpool in our way.

There were about two meters from the edge of the whirlpool to the bridge wall, which was just enough room for us to roll by.

Link went first, saying, "Just wait until I get to the door. Then you go, and do exactly what I do."

He rode past the whirlpool with ease, and pushed the switch in on the other side. The other half of the bars on the door slid up, he climbed up onto it and gave me a hand wave to signal it was time for me to pass the whirlpool, only I wasn't so graceful.

I lost my footing and landed on my bottom on the still rolling ball. I tried to climb my way back to the center, but it was a failed attempt. The ball had stopped rolling, but I was still floating towards the center of the whirlpool.

"Link!" I yelled.

"Your whip! Throw it up here and I'll drag you up! Hurry!" he spread his hands out and caught the end of the whip as I snapped it at him. The hook at the end must have gotten caught in his flesh, because he gave out a slight wince, but pulled me up nonetheless. I got my footing on the platform just in time to see the stone ball that I was on sink away into the purple poison water. It was scary to think that if Link had not been there, I probably would have died.

"Are you okay?" he asked me, holding me tight in his arms.

"I think so," I responded, breaking the hug and checking over my body to make sure I wasn't hurt. "Are you?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," he said.

I grabbed his bleeding arm and shook my head. "No you're not. You're bleeding."

"Trust me, I've had worse," he said, and headed towards the now open door.

We stepped inside of a round chamber, similar to the one we fought Skullita in. This one, however, had a large flower in the middle. It was quite beautiful; I had never seen anything like it. It had five leaves on either side of it, and was a light color of purple from its tallest petal to the bottom of its stem.

It seemed like a very nice room to be in, so I wondered why it would be in this dungeon. My question was answered when the flower gave a deafening roar and turned to reveal a large eye staring at us.

My first thought was to bring out my whip and take the beast down. Link brought his sword out, although he couldn't really hit it, seeing how it was about twenty feet tall and surrounded with the purple poison water that we had encountered recently.

I was thrashing the whip around blindly, and I couldn't seem to get a good hit on any part of the beast. Its stem was thick and leathery, so it was impossible to wound it in that area.

After a few more slashes of the whip, it finally got caught in one of the monsters large leaves. I yanked it down hard, taking the leaf with me, and purple blood spilled out of the stem where the leaf had been.

The beast let out a shrill scream and thrashed around violently, making the room shake.

"Link, it's the leaves! We've got to get rid of its leaves!" I said. He quickly brought out his clawshots and started rapidly tearing off the leaves.

We continued to yank off leaves for another minute or so, nimbly dodging its attempts to grab us with its slobbering mouth.

After the final leaf was torn from its stem, the flower let out another ear-blasting screech and fell over lifelessly onto the ground.

"Hmm," Link started. "So what would be the item we need for the potion?"

"Um, I don't know, maybe that?" I said, once again channeling Midna and pointing to an alter that had been blocked from our view by the beastly flower. It held a golden leaf that glowed with an eerie light.

"Easy, Sargent Sarcasm, I just wanted to make sure we were on the same page," he said, grabbing the leaf and placing it into the bottomless pouch attached to his waist.

"Oh, come on, you know I love you," I said as we walked out of the exit, and that time I wasn't channeling Midna at all. I truly, honestly, and wholeheartedly meant it. I was just afraid he would never know.

Author's Note: Done. The next chapter will be out ASAP! Please review!
