The New Direction
Link returned to the Goron City and found the Goron's standing waiting for him, all of them smiling.
"You have slain the Fire Titan?" One of them asked, Link nodded and they all cheered, "You have brought peace to our people, Link, hero of the Gorons!"
Link smiled and accepted their congratulations modestly and head to Bagura's chamber. Inside he found the Goron leader in good spirits.
"You have done well Link. Now my people are free and you've discovered that this goes much deeper than you originally thought."
Link nodded.
"Yes, what do you know about Demise?" He asked, Bagura sighed, "Not much I'm afraid, only that he was once a great evil Demon King. He also has some connection to Ganondorf."
Link sighed.
"So now what?" Link asked, "How am I supposed to find out more?"
Bagura pondered for a moment and then nodded.
"I understand. Let me think for a moment." He stated.
Link nodded and left Bagura to think while he headed back to the main city. He noticed all the Goron's were gathered in groups talking. One of them saw him and approached.
"Link, you have done better than we hoped." He stated; Link was confused by this. "What do you mean?"
"It turns out; by slaying the Titan you have liberated Death Mountain of those monsters that have plagued it." He explained, "We are free, free at last from the fear of the attacks that led us to mistrust outsiders."
Link smiled at this and after talking to some of the other Goron's he returned to Bagura's chamber.
Bagura looked up as he entered and nodded.
"I have thought long and hard, communed with Ignis...I have come to the conclusion that your answers lie with Aqua, the Great Spirit of Water. To meet with her you must head back to Kakariko and head south until you reach the river, follow the river until you reach the Zora's Domain."
"The Zora's...So I'll be meeting the Water Sage too." Link replied, Bagura nodded. "Yes. Now, I noticed that you were given the Seal of the Forest. Ignis has entrusted me to grant you the Seal of Fire too."
"The Seal of the Forest?"
"That phial you were given by Silva." Bagura explained, "Each of the Six Spirits either hold their elemental seal themselves, or entrust their Sage to do so."
Link nodded and Bagura granted him the Seal of Fire. Finally, after saying their farewells and promising aid when Link went to fight Ganondorf, the Gorons returned to work in their city and Link headed down the mountain.
True to what he had heard, the Tektites were gone; the monsters had disappeared from the mountain. All the same it still took him a while to climb down. It had been early evening when he entered the Goron City, he had spent some time there fighting the Titan and talking to Bagura. By the time he made it back down to Kakariko it was past midnight. He sighed; he would have to head for Zora's River at a more reasonable hour. He headed to the inn he had stayed at before; by sheer luck the innkeeper was still awake.
"Ah young man good to see you again." He remarked, "Did you climb the mountain?"
Link nodded, "Yeah, the Goron's were...more hospitable that I expected."
The innkeeper looked surprised.
"Really, well, you must have impressed them somehow and it's amazing that you made it past all those monsters."
Link shrugged and then changed the subject.
"I was hoping to get a room again." He explained, the innkeeper smiled and accepted Link's payment.
After they finished their exchange the innkeeper led Link to his room and left him. Link headed to bed for the night, ready to make an early start for Zora's River.
The following day Link awoke, he had a quick breakfast and, after paying in full, he left the inn. He began to head towards the stable but suddenly he stopped. He had noticed a figure acting furtively. They were mostly hidden under a black cloak. But his hood was down when Link looked he raised it. However he could have sworn that the figure was familiar. They had familiar looked dark skin and the hairstyle stood out.
'Was that really...Dooram?' He wondered, 'I need to catch up.'
He began to follow the hooded figure until they reached an abandoned section of town. The figure approached a dilapidated church and headed inside. Link hurried to catch up with him. He entered the church and stopped, he looked around, the figure had vanished.
'But that's impossible...' Link mused, 'There's nowhere to hide in here, where could he have gone?'
Link sighed. How could he have let the figure out of his sight? Finally he sighed, he would get nowhere like this, he couldn't be certain but from what he had seen, the figure definitely looked like Dooram. Deciding to at least satisfy himself with that he left and hurried back to the stables. He paid the stable owner and mounted Epona gain before guiding her out of the stables and out of the village. As he passed the farm he waved to Anju before riding back out into the Hyrule Field and prepared to head to his next destination, Zora's River.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
