Really sorry for the long wait. I was sort of in the mood of "Not feeling like doing the chapter" recently. However, I did not let that get to me! So I fought against that and finished this chapter!

Enjoy! ;)

Chapter 4: Dragon Roost Cavern

The air around our heroes suddenly changed drastically as they exited the passage. The wind was howling everywhere, blowing hot ashes around the area, which had two elevated grounds, high walls of stone, and there was a large chasm between the two elevated grounds. By the two large arches standing opposite each other on each ledge and by the wooden planks hanging down from each of them, we could tell that there once stood a bridge to connect both grounds, only that it was now broken.

"What is this place?" Yoshi asked.

"The Dragon Roost Pond." Quill suddenly came from behind them.

"Whoa!" Link jumped. "Quill, don't sneak up on us!"

"Pardon me. Anyways, this place used to be a spring here… But then the great Valoo… He became so angry, and… In his rage, he shook the mountain and that boulder crashed down, plugging the spring. You can see the result."

"Oh dear…" Peach frowned.

"Indeed. By the way, how was Prince Komali?"

"Well…" Toad crestfalled as he and the others told Quill what happened.

"Oh… That doesn't sound right… Not at all…" Quill murmured. "Medli may be partially to blame for the bad turn that Prince Komali's taken…"

"Wait, who's Medli?" Luigi asked.

"Oh, she's the current attendant to the great Valoo. See, Prince Komali's grandmother was the great Valoo's former attendant. She was an amazing woman. Medli was honored to have her as her teacher. She was kind and brave, and unsurpassed in her dealings with the great Valoo. Unfortunately, Medli felt that she was not yet worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as her."

"We see it now…" Mario mused.

"So, in order to prove her worth, Medli decided to climb Dragon Roost on her own and meet with the great Valoo. However, to reach the great Valoo, one has to get past Dragon Roost Cavern, which is full of dangers. I can hardly imagine that Medli would be fine on her own due to that…"

"Definitely not." Luka shook her head.

"And that's why I have a favor to ask of you. Will you all venture into Dragon Roost Cavern and find Medli?"

"Sure. We can do that." Mario nodded.

"We can…?" Link whispered.

"Trust us, Link. We know from experience."

"Okay…" Link said. "What did they mean by 'from experience'?"

"I knew I could count on all of you!" Quill exclaimed. "Well, I wish you luck! And be careful!" he walks back into the passage.

"Alright, sooo… Dragon Roost Cavern is on the other side of this chasm, right? How do we get there?" Toad asked.

"Simple. Quill told us that that boulder over there plugged the spring, isn't that right?" Luka pointed at the boulder, as everyone else nodded. "If we remove it, the water could come flowing back up!"

"Oh, of course!" Link exclaimed. "I suppose we need a bomb to destroy it… Maybe even multiple bombs!"

"Just leave that to me." Peach grinned as she thrusts her arm towards the boulder. "Psych Bomb!"

Eventually, bombs rained down from the sky above the boulder and exploded on contact. With the boulder gone, a giant geyser blasted upwards from where it stood, flooding the chasm with water.

"Hey! It worked!" Yoshi chimed as Luka and the rest of the Mario cast celebrated. However, Link was looking very dumbfounded and shocked by what he just saw Peach do earlier.

"…Did she just made bombs appear FROM THE SKY?!" he yelled.

"I did! Wasn't that great?" Peach giggled.

"Wow, now I've seen everything…" Link remarked before they all jumped into the water and swam to the other side.

There, they did a little Bomb Flower Basketball on two Rito statues to make them fall down as platforms to cross the lava pool. With that, they made it to the dungeon entrance.

"You ready for this, Link?" Luka asked with a smile.

"I'm a little nervous, but I'm ready." Link nodded firmly.

"It's okay to be nervous. I was like that before." Luigi said.

"Plus, we'll always be on your side." Mario assured.

"Thanks, guys." Link smiled before they all went inside.

The interior was dark and dim, with walls and floor made out of cobblestone and there was a row of three statues against the opposite wall up ahead. The heroes looked around for any sign of Medli, but found nothing.

"If Medli was here before, how did she get through this room?" Luigi pondered.

"You know, I also have no idea." Luka shrugged. "Especially due to the fact that those statues are in their starting positions."

"The statues?" Link walked over to them. He saw a short depression on the floor in front of the leftmost statue, so he pulled it to the depression, but there was nothing behind it. "Um…"

"Think, Link! There has to be a reason for why you had to move that statue down!" Luka winked.

"Hmm… Oh, I know!" Link then pulls the middle statue to where the left one once stood, revealing a small passageway behind it. "Nice!"

"Good job on your first puzzle, Link!" Luka praised. "There's much more to come, so look forward to it!"

They all went into the passage, where the next area was guarded by two Bokoblins. Once the heroes defeated the Bokoblins, Toad caught sight of a pot emitting out some sort of strange green mist.

"Uh, guys? What's this?" he asked.

"A Warp Pot!" Luka answered. "It only works if we come upon another one, then we can use these pots to warp around the dungeon!"

"That sounds neat!" Peach exclaimed as Mario noticed two unlit torches, so he lit them up by shooting a fireball at them, causing a chest to appear in the middle. Inside of it was a Small Key.

"I still don't know who the heck would put a key in a chest…" Yoshi deadpanned.

"Yoshi…" Mario glanced at Yoshi while mirroring his expression.

"I know, I know. We should stop questioning anything that doesn't make sense to us."

"…What is up with them?" Link thought as Mario unlocks the door with the key and they all went to the other side.

The next room was boiling hot. The heroes were standing on an alcove that stuck out into a large cavern that glowed bright orange due to the enormous pool of lava up ahead. The heat was finally starting to kick in for our heroes at this point.

"Ugh, it's so hot…" Link groaned.

"Tell us about it. We're inside of a volcano, after all." Toad said as Luka burned down the wall made out of wooden boards blocking their path.

"Well, we have to deal with it if we want to clear this dungeon." Luka stated.

"Okay, so where do we go next?"

"I can see a locked door on the far left." Mario said. "So maybe we should make our way to the bridge in the middle."

"Sounds good, bro." Luigi nodded as they made their way to the bridge by following the wooden path that goes along the wall and jumping across gaps. But once they finally got to the bridge, a few Fire Keese flew after them.

"Are those bats on fire?!" Link exclaimed.

"They're Fire Keese!" Luka said. "Hurry, let's get to the other side!"

The heroes made a run for it, and then Yoshi tossed eggs at the Fire Keese once they made it to the other side to defeat them. There was a large boulder on the wall, but just as Link was about to go pick up a Bomb Flower… Peach just pulled out a Bob-omb from the ground and tossed it at the boulder.

"…She just pulled out a bomb from the ground. That's not odd at all…" Link thought before they all went to the next room, where Yoshi Flutter Jumps over the lava to reach a chest containing the Dungeon Map and then Luka manipulates the lava, splitting it open to reveal a pathway for everyone to cross.

"Wow…" Link and the Mario cast thought, amazed at Luka's powers as they reached the other side.

"Hold on." Luka stopped everyone before they could climb up the ladder. "Let me take care of something first." everyone watched her climbing a few steps on the ladder with a flame ignited on her hand and then she shot it at what appears to be nothing above, only for them to hear a cartoony noise of something gelatinous shaking abruptly soon after. "*sigh* The first times I played this game, that Red Chuchu always gets me every single time…" Luka sighed.

"Um, just what was at the top?" Toad asked. "By the noise, was it some kind of jelly?"

"Close enough. It was a Red Chuchu, a gelatin-like enemy that sneaks in the floor as a puddle for an ambush." Luka explained.

"Not only you know about the enemy, but you already knew that it was on top?" Link asked.

"Yep. I told you that I know everything in here. Now let's get going!"

They climbed the ladder and went into the door, taking them to a dark cave area. Eventually, a Blue Bokoblin suddenly broke through the wall of wooden boards and ran over to the heroes to attack them, but was easily defeated.

"Talk about a bad ambush…" Link remarked.

"Tell us about it." Mario agreed as he went over to another wall of wooden boards and burnt it down with a fireball. He did the same thing to another one up ahead and got another key in a chest as Link slashed through two Red Chuchus.

Arriving back at another portion of the main room through the next door, Yoshi tossed an Egg Bomb to get rid of a nearby giant boulder to clear out the path, and they made their way to the locked door they saw earlier and unlocked it with the key.

In the next room, they took care of more Red Chuchus that dropped down from the ceiling, plus a Blue Bokoblin who broke through yet another wall of wooden boards.

"You know, these guys are not that good at ambushes…" Yoshi commented.

"I know, right?" Link said as Luigi burned down another boarded alcove and stepped on the pressure switch behind it to remove the bars on the door. They went through it, taking them… outside.

"Wait, we're outside?" Luigi asked.

"Quite a nice change of pace, right?" Luka winked.

"At least it's not as hot as it was inside." Toad said as they pressed on, with Luigi shooting a lightning bolt at a Bokoblin on the other side of the wooden bridge to defeat it.

On the other side is a lava vent on the wall about halfway up the ladder. Luckily, Luka used her powers of lava manipulation to stop the spraying lava, making it easier for the heroes to climb up the ladder with no problems. Then, once they reached the top, a Kargoroc flew down to their level.

"What is that?!" Luigi flinched.

"A Kargoroc!" Luka exclaimed as Toad easily took it down by firing mushroom spores at it.

"The way it looked… Is it related to that giant bird who kidnapped Aryll?" Link pondered.

"Well, both a Kargoroc and the Helmaroc King end with the word 'roc', so maybe they're part of the same bird family." Luka guessed.

"That is a good point." Mario stated before they pressed on, with Luka using her powers to stop another lava vent so that they could sidle on the wall safely, and then Peach tossed a Bob-omb at the boulder to blow it up, revealing a door behind it, taking them back to the dungeon's interior.

"Oh great, we're indoors again…" Toad groaned.

"Don't worry, there's going to be only one room with lava if I remember correctly." Luka assured as everyone looked at a set of stacked up blocks.

"That looks a bit complicated…" Link trailed.

"No, it's not complicated at all! All you have to do is create a ladder of blocks!" Luka smiled.

"Oh! Now I see!" Link exclaimed before pulling one of the bottom blocks to make its respective column fall down, and then he climbed up on it to pull another one, thus creating a ladder leading up to the room above.

"You're getting good at puzzles, Link!" Peach smiled.

"Oh, it was nothing…" Link replied as they all climbed up, taking out a few rats and finding the Compass in a chest. With that, Toad looked at the map of the dungeon, seeing that there were still a lot more of rooms for them to go through.

"Oh man, we still have a long way to go…" he informed.

"Well, we are climbing a mountain, so…" Yoshi shrugged.

"You know what? Maybe we should let the Author do a time skip right here." Luka said.

Well, I highly appreciate that!

Some more dungeon climbing later…

The heroes were finally near the peak of the island, where they could hear Valoo's angry roars, and because they found no sight of Medli anywhere else in the dungeon, they were sure that she might be here. They began climbing up the spiral staircase as it began to crumble behind them, but they were quick enough to reach the top.

After passing through an open gate, the heroes spot two Shield Bokoblins standing in front of a wooden cage holding a Rito girl inside. Could that girl be Medli?

Just then, a wooden gate slammed down behind the heroes, trapping them inside as the two Shield Bokoblins charged after them. Link proceeded to do a Spin Attack at the Bokoblins, only for them to raise their shields. Then, Mario and Luigi took this opportunity to burn the shields down with a fireball before kicking each of Bokoblins away and finishing them off by swinging their hammers.

However, a Kargoroc just so happened to pass by and drop down a Moblin to the arena once both Bokoblins were defeated.

"Oh, crap! It's one of those guys we encountered back at the Forsaken Fortress!" Luigi exclaimed.

"You're right, but this time we've got to take it out!" Mario hollered as the Moblin thrusts its spear at the heroes, but the spear just so happened to hit a large mushroom that Toad conjured as a shield.

"Nice reaction there, Toad!" Luka complimented.

"You're welcome." Toad grinned.

Due to hitting a mushroom with the spear, the Moblin was thrown off balance for a bit, giving Link the chance to strike it with a sword thrust. This only made the Moblin angered as it swung its spear horizontally to knock Link away.

"Link!" the Mario cast and Luka cried out.

The Moblin charged after them, but Peach fired a light beam at it to stun it, and then Luka set its bottom on fire, making it hop around clutching its butt while also dropping its weapon. Link saw the spear landing near him as he was just recovering and had the idea to pick up the spear, and, after Yoshi struck the Moblin with his tail, Link finished it off by stabbing it with the spear.

"Wow, who knew using the monsters' weapons could come in handy?" Link remarked.

"Link, you're okay!" Peach exclaimed. "Are you hurt?"

"No, I'm fine. Just a little scratch."

"A scratch? Let me see it." Link shows Peach the scratch on his face the Moblin did when it swung its spear at him. "It's a pretty visible one. Here, stand still."

"Huh? What are you…?" before Link could finish, Peach gently placed her hand at the scratch as it began to glow pink. Meanwhile, the rest of the group noticed that there was a key on the spot the Moblin used to be.

"Looks like that big guy was carrying a key with him." Toad said.

"Maybe it's the key for the cage!" Yoshi exclaimed as he picked up the key and went over to the cell to unlock it.

With Link and Peach, the princess had just finished healing the scratch on Link's face, as it was completely gone.

"There we go." Peach smiled.

"Oh, wow…" Link breathed, rubbing the healed spot. "How did you…?"

"I specialize in healing." Peach giggled.

"That's incredible… Thanks!"

"No problem!"

The two then went over to the rest of the group, as the Rito girl just walked out of the opened cell.

"Oh, thank you guys! You saved me!" she thanked before glancing over at Link. "Wow! You really DO have green clothes and a strange-shaped hat…"

"Strange-shaped hat?" the heroes thought.

"You must be Link, right?"

"Yes, I am." Link nodded.

"And these are your new friends, aren't they?" everyone else nodded. "Pleasure to meet you!" she made a bow.

"Likewise." Mario smiled. "So, who are you?"

"Oh, me? I'm the attendant to the great sky spirit, Valoo. My name is Medli." the heroes' eyes widened upon hearing that name. "Well, to tell the truth… I'm not an attendant quite yet. I'm actually still studying to be one."

"Medli, we were looking for you!" Luigi replied. "I'm surprised you actually managed to climb all the way to the peak."

"You were looking for me?" Medli asked before everyone explained everything to her. "I see… So everyone is worried about me. I'm really sorry… I didn't mean to make them worried! I really wanted to see what was wrong with the great Valoo so I made my way up here. I may be just an apprentice attendant, but I can understand some of the great Valoo's language."

"And did you manage to find the answer about his anger?" Link asked.

"I did, and it's a terrible one! Some creature is doing awful things to the great Valoo's tail! That's why he's so angry!" Medli answered as right above them, Valoo continued to roar furiously, shaking the whole area around them. "The great Valoo's tail hangs down into the room right below here. There's got to be something in there… I wonder if those mean monsters who captured me have something to do with it… We've got to do something! Now! Before it's too late!"

"Don't worry, we'll find the monster responsible." Luka assured.

"Right! I'll go and tell everyone what's happening!" Medli then reaches into her pocket and hands Link some sort of grappling hook. "Here, Link! Use this to get out of here! It's what I used to get this far. It's a device we Rito used before we evolved wings."

"A grappling hook?" Link looked at it.

"Well, I'll leave the rest to you all." Medli began to fly away. "Don't you worry about me, everyone. Get going!" she flew off.

With that, Link uses the Grappling Hook at the branch above and used it to swing to the other side. The Mario cast followed him by just jumping across the gaps with their unique jumping abilities, although Toad had to conjure a mushroom trampoline so that he and Luka could leap across since Luka doesn't have any jumping skills and that Toad was carrying a heavy backpack.

After clearing some gaps, the heroes reached a door and went inside, leading them to a room where the big boss' lair was just up ahead, only that they didn't have the Big Key yet.

"Let me guess, we have to go around the dungeon again just to get the boss key?" Toad guessed.

"Yep." Luka nodded. "Thankfully, we can use the Warp Pots to make things easier."

"Wait, we need a specific key in order to reach the creature's lair?" Link asked.

"Exactly. This will apply to all the upcoming dungeons we'll venture."

"Oh, boy…" Link sighed as everyone proceeded to jump into the Yellow Warp Pot and begin the search for the Big Key.

Some more time later…

"Well that wasn't so bad, wasn't it?" Luka grinned as they were making their way back to the room with the boss door.

"I guess so." Link shrugged.

"Hey, this pendant I found… Isn't it the same one you're wearing, Luka?" Yoshi asked, as he was holding a Joy Pendant in his hands.

"That's right! It's a Joy Pendant!" Luka exclaimed. "The one I'm wearing is just a replica, though."

Soon, they were all standing in front of the locked boss door.

"Alright, you all ready for our first dungeon boss of this world?" Luka smirked, punching her palm.

"You bet we are!" Mario grinned.

"You guys seem pretty used to this, apparently." Link observed as Luka and the Mario cast unlocked the door and went inside. "Are they really from another world?" Link thought as he followed them.

At the other side of the door was a circular arena with a lava pool in the middle and a few wooden platforms above going along the wall. The door eventually slams shut from behind the heroes before they looked up to see a long red tail, possibly belonging to Valoo, hanging at the ceiling, covered by a chunk of lava rock. Of course: the creature, whoever who might be, must of have used lava to trap the great sky spirit's tail on the ceiling, and because magma hardens quickly, it won't take long for poor Valoo to get his tail stuck for all eternity. Now that's just wrong.

Aside from Valoo's tail, the room appeared empty at first, but then it started shaking violently as the lava began to brighten and ripple. Eventually, a monstrous, one-eyed armored centipede bursts out of the lava, screeching loudly while breathing out fire before pounding its claws down next to the heroes, knocking them back. That was Gohma, or at least, Wind Waker's version of Gohma.

"What on earth is THAT?!" Link yelled.

"It's Gohma!" Luka exclaimed.

"Wait, since when did Gohma learn how to adapt to hot environments?!" Luigi questioned.

"No, it's not THAT Gohma! It's a different one!"

"What are you guys talking about?!" Link asked.

"Everyone, RUN!" Toad warned as he saw Gohma about to slam its claws at everyone, so they quickly ran out of the way just in time.

"Okay, we need to drop out the talking and focus on the boss." Mario said. "Luka, since you're the expert, what do we do?"

"We need to drop that chunk of lava rock down into Gohma in order to shatter its armor." Luka instructed. "Link, use your Grappling Hook on Valoo's tail while the rest of us distract Gohma."

"Got it." Link nodded as he ran to one side of the room while Luka and the Mario cast ran to the other side.

"Hey, big centipede! Over here!" Luka called out to Gohma, who immediately glanced at her and the Mario cast and screeched before breathing fire at them, only for Luka to extend her arms and stop the fire from reaching them.

"Are you sure you can hold it on long enough?" Peach asked.

"Don't worry, guys. This should give Link plenty of time to drop down the chunk." Luka smiled confidently.

Speaking of which, with Gohma distracted, Link was free to aim his Grappling Hook at Valoo's tail and toss it at it. As the Grappling Hook wrapped around the tail and started pulling it down, Valoo, on the outside, felt that and made a surprised-looking face as he glanced down at where his tail is, wondering just what in the world was going on inside.

After a few swings, Link let go of the tail, aiming himself to where the others were. Valoo did a roar while swinging his tail around as the chunk started to detach from the ceiling before it eventually crashed down right into Gohma's head, causing its thick armor to shatter completely.

Unfortunately, that did not make Gohma happy at all, as it let out another screech while the chunk broke apart in the process.

"Great! Now that its shell is gone, we can aim for the eye!" Luka grinned.

"We just need to bring it closer to us." Yoshi stated.

"That's simple; use the Grappling Hook!" Luka exclaimed, but before Link was able to do that, Yoshi had already tossed an egg at Gohma's eye, causing it to screech in pain as it laid down to their level. "…Or that too, I guess. Okay, Link! Stab its eye!"

"Right on!" Link nodded and did just what he was told, thrusting his sword right into Gohma's eye.

Gohma swayed around, screeching in pain as its body slowly began to stiff and dry out before exploding. The lava pool also cooled down, and then some odd magical wind gusts showed up in the middle.

"Yeah! We did it!" Link cheered.

"Yes." Luka nodded. "That was only the beginning, though, as you guys might already know!" she glanced at the Mario cast, who nodded in agreement.

"Seriously, how are you guys so familiar with this?" Link asked.

"Now let's go to those wind gusts in the middle! They'll take all of us out of here!" Luka exclaimed, ignoring Link's question as she and the Mario cast walked over to the portal and disappeared.

"Oh, come on!" Link grumbled before following suit.

Outside, Valoo felt that his tail was free again, so he let out a howl that echoed around the entire skies and even catching the attention of the Rito as Medli was telling them what happened. The air around the spring suddenly cooled down, as all the ashes and the crazy winds stopped blowing. The massive grey ring near the mountain's peak also dissipated. All of the Rito were happy; their beloved sky spirit has finally calmed down and back to normal.

At the beach area, the heroes reappeared, and soon noticed that Dragon Roost felt different than before. So they looked up at the mountain's peak, and saw that Valoo wasn't angry anymore, so they assumed that getting rid of Gohma worked.

"Guys!" Medli's voice came as the heroes turned around and saw her with Komali. "Well, Prince Komali? Don't you have something you want to say?"

"Um, I heard everything from Medli…" Komali shyly spoke. "Everyone… Thank you so much! I'm sorry I mistrusted you! I hope I can be like you all someday."

"You will, Komali! I just know it! Right, guys?" Medli smiled.

Komali then hands the heroes the pearl and the star piece he was holding, much to their surprise. "So, everyone? …Here! I want you to take these! Giving you the things I value most will give me the courage I need to stand up to bad things!"

With that, the first pearl of the goddesses, Din's Pearl, and the Red Star Piece, were in the heroes' possession!

Then, everyone heard Valoo's roars as they looked up to him.

"The great Valoo is grateful to you, everyone." Medli said.

"(O Heroes, thank you! O Hero in green, use the Wind God's wind!)" Valoo spoke in a strange language that none of our heroes was able to understand, so I translated it here for all of you. Despite that, the Mario cast felt that this type of language sounded… familiar to them somehow.

"Use the wind god's…wind?" Medli pondered. "That's what he said, but I don't understand. I wonder what it means?"

"Was he talking about the new melody I learned for the Wind Waker…?" Link thought.

"Oh, I almost forgot! The great Valoo also names you all true heroes." Medli added. "I agree with him. As far as we're concerned, everyone, you really ARE heroes!"

"Well, I'm going to go and visit Valoo!" Komali exclaimed. "I'll come and see you sometime – with the best pair of wings ever!" he took off.

"Hey! Prince Komali!" Medli called out. "Thanks so much, everyone. See you again someday!" she smiled before going after Komali.

"Well, guys…" Luka stretched her arms up. "Our work in Dragon Roost is done. Time for us to head back to the King of Red Lions and set off for our next destination!"

"Just a question." Link interfered. "Why exactly are we collecting these extremely rare items?"

"The King of Red Lions will tell you about it. Now let's go!"

They made their way to where the King of Red Lions were and told him everything that happened.

"Ah, I see…" he mused. "It would seem that Ganondorf sent those monsters to this place."

"GANONDORF?!" the Mario cast thought with horrified looks on their faces. Luka looked at them and could tell that by their looks, even after their previous adventure with the Hero of Time, they were still terrified of Ganondorf.

"Ganondorf did that?" Link asked normally, not seemed to worry about Ganondorf at all since unlike the Mario cast and Luka, he doesn't know who Ganondorf is… yet.

"But that would mean…" the King of Red Lions muttered.

"What?"

"Nothing. There is no time to lose! We must depart at once for the place where the next pearl and star piece sleep! We sail to the south!"

"But… the wind is still blowing to the east."

"Link, use the Wind Waker!" Luka reminded. "Remember that melody you learned? Just conduct it and say the direction you want the winds to blow!"

When realization finally struck Link, he quickly pulls out the Wind Waker and conducts the Wind's Requiem.

"Let's see if it works…" Link thought, taking a deep breath and calling, "Winds! To the south!" as he points the Wind Waker to the south.

In the blink of an eye, the winds immediately answered to his call as they now were blowing to the south, much to Link and the Mario cast's amazement.

"Holy Hylia… It actually worked!" Link exclaimed in amazement, eyes open wide.

"That's amazing…" Luigi breathed. "You can control the wind with that!"

"Now that is really cool." Toad said. "I never thought I'd see anything like this!"

"Well then, now that the winds are blowing to the right direction… Let us depart!" the King of Red Lions declared.

The heroes nodded as they climbed into the boat and set sail to their next destination.

"I just hope I can find the answers to all my questions soon enough…" Link thought.

To be continued…

I made Medli appear very late into the story compared to the original game for a change of pace to make my story differ from the game even more. Same goes for having Link learn the Wind's Requiem earlier than usual.

Off to Forest Haven next! Until then! Please review!
