Stepping through, the first thing immediately in front of them was a large stone ramp across a river of magma. It seemed at one point a bridge extended over it, but it had since broken down.

"We'll have to be careful going up this, it looks as if we could easily slip down." Tya stepped to the edge of broken bridge, looking up the ramp to see just how big it really was. It extended up quite far, but it seemed relatively bare. On one side were a couple of openings. She couldn't see into them, but they looked as if they were created to hold decorations of some sort. On the side opposite the gaps was a long, ornamental railing. It was all quite extravagant, though Tya quickly pulled away from admiring it. She seemed to forget they were in a bit of a hurry...

After snapping herself out of the state of admiration she was in, she started to ascend the ramp. It was steep to the point she actually ended up leaning forward to press a hand to it just for a bit of extra balance. She and Link both ended up just crawling up a short way until they heard a strange creaking. The sound was familiar and yet she couldn't quite place it at first. It sounded like a wooden door opening, but there was nothing around to match the sounds. So she thought.

They'd forgotten that conditioning from the previous temple. Always check the ceilings.

An icy gaze was pulled upward at the sound of crashing- boulders dropping from thick wooden traps in the ceiling. They immediately began to roll down the ramp, directly at the two. She should have known this wasn't going to be that easy...

Panic didn't get a chance to set in, only adrenaline. She and Link both rushed back down the ramp and moved to the side just in time to not be hit by the boulders. They rolled right into the magma, and the pair stood there for a second afterwords. They were both a little stunned at what had happened. It was completely unexpected- they'd very nearly been run down and crushed. But they weren't. And because of that they just looked at each other and gave nervous laughs.

When they were sure more boulders weren't coming down the ramp, they stepped out again and looked up it. It only took a second of studying it for it to hit Tya. It was another obstacle, this would continue to happen. Whoever wished to succeed had to be quick and focused. Avoid the rocks, watch your footing, move fast, get to the gaps in the wall.

She motioned toward them and shook her head. "We have to get to the safe spots in the wall and the boulders will roll passed."

"We g-gotta be quick th-then..." Link looked over the distance once or twice before taking in a deep breath.

They made it to the top. Slowly, but regardless they made it. The gaps in the walls served their purpose as well as let them both stop for a breath- no matter how invigorating the temple may have been Tya still wasn't in the shape she should have been. Running up a steep hill as fast as she could easily took the breath out of her.

It didn't end there, unfortunately. They got up that ramp only to find another one awaiting them. While this one was indeed shorter, the gap that they'd need to climb into in order to avoid being hit or asphyxiated was blocked off by rocks that had either fallen there, or were just placed to be inconvenient. Tya couldn't tell which.

Either way, a breathless Link immediately decided he wanted to try and blow it up. He pulled a bomb flower from the bag and when it ignited he rolled it up the ramp as hard as he could. His aim was actually spot on the first try, however the bomb didn't go off before it started to roll back down. Which, as can be imagined, was a very bad thing for the two of them. They hurried to the right, trying to get out of the way as it came back down. Luckily for them it exploded on its way back down, and not near them. But that left them wondering how they were supposed to blow it up if the distance was too short for the bomb. Holding the bomb for a second or two before it went off was an option, but it was too risky in her opinion. Last resort, if they couldn't figure anything else out.

It didn't take much looking around to figure it out though, especially since they'd move right up against the path they needed to take. In the railing that lined the other side there was a carved out hole- a small crawlspace. Tya set the pack down as Link crawled through, and then she followed him. At first it seemed all that was on the other side was a couple more bomb flowers and a nice fall of magma that went under the land they stood on. But after a bit more investigation, Link dug up another spout of air that they used to get up to a flight of stairs that led to a balcony.

It required a few tries to throw the bomb in the right place, but eventually they managed to blow up the rocks that blocked the gap.

They made it up to the top and took a break to regain their stamina. The area they came to was quite beautiful really. A large dragon head allowed magma to pour into the pool surrounding the land they stood on. Unfortunately it was also right in the way of the path they needed to take to get to the next door.

Much of the ruins lay in the magma at that point, so she could only imagine how magnificent it must have looked when it was new. There were two flights of stairs, though one case had fallen long before their arrival, that led up to a long crooked bridge, which Tya assumed was their next destination. It was the only path left to take, so it must have had some way to stop the fall of magma.

When thinking of this though she was really thinking of some sort of lever or mechanism to close the thing up- something along those lines. Not a giant boulder that nearly crushed them and seemed to be triggered when they opened the chest which contained the piece they needed to open the door. Evading the damn thing was difficult, as they had to rush down that bridge and hurry to jump over the edge before it got them. They made it, luckily, and the boulder flung over them. The momentum it gained down the bridge helped it plug up the dragon's mouth, thus opening their path.

She honestly figured it to be a convenient mistake, but as they crossed over the jagged gap and got to the door they'd need to open, the dragon's mouth closed and it 'swallowed' the boulder.

The amount of science or mathematics or whatever it must have taken to accurately plan that all out without fault must have taken whoever built that place forever. It really amazed her, but she didn't dwell on it long.

They didn't know exactly what awaited them on the other side, so they took one last break where they ate, drank, and rested.

Again, the door was much taller than the two, and they had to figure out just how the piece fit in to unlock it. So Link lifted Tya up so she could get a good look at the inside, and then he set her down again so she could adjust it how it needed to be adjusted. This one was actually quite simple, so there was less awkward fumbling about as she slipped it into the socket it belonged in. Just as the last did, the door cracked open and opened the way for them.
