I'm Back – bet you thought I was dead – wait, what do you mean you didn't
care – it's been four months since I last posted something to this fic!
AN: After porygon (the cyber one reviewed my fic, he noted some very interesting comments, one which was that there were some interesting spelling errors. Well after a long while I have managed to stumble across all my previous chapters and have renewed them all. I would like to thank porygon for his help in noting this. However there were some comments that porygon put that were unjust – such as copying the game. I would like to go on record as saying that I am not copying the game. The path seems to be similar to Ocarina of Time as it is meant to be – there is a good reason for this and it has all been planed. I would also like to say this about those harts – 1. I have a beta reader (who was on holiday when chapter 4 went up – bout x-mas) and 2. I did put a disclaimer in the first chapter about them! The reason they get through is that, at least in the UK, hart is a male red dear that is at least five years old. Therefore the spellchecker says it's a correct word (which it is!).
I would also like to thank these reviewers as well: Sailor Zelda (again – thanks, and I agree it was a little confusing – but then so is the plot!) and Angle. THANK YOU!!!!!!
Disclaimers (I don't know why I put these – it is obvious from porygon that nobody reads them) I don't own Zelda and these are English spellings not American (colour not color – and those harts may appear!)
The Legend of Zelda: The Urn of Genesis (part 5)
Link walked down the hill into the Goron village. When he finally got into the village he saw what looked like an ugly chiselling of red, dusty rock. But when observed closely it was an architectural masterpiece. The 'circular' rims around the outside were elevated on the side opposite to where Link stood. There were gaps on both 'ramps' where on the ramp to the left was a drop while the ramp on the right had a mini ramp. These allowed the Goron's to go up or down a level, if they so whished. There where several floors above and below to the one that Link was on, all with boulders rolling around. Link had stayed in the doorway due to these boulders, trying to find a way to a Goron to find their leader. After a while, Link gets frustrated.
"Agh, how am I meant to get past all these boulders?" Link asked Navi, hoping she had an answer.
"Umm… they're not boulders." Link turned to Navi and looked at her in surprise "They are Gorons." Link stared at Navi still in shock. [AN: a little off topic, but do these fairies have eyes, cause if they do then Link stares into Navi's eyes! And if they don't have eyes how do they see.]
"Oh…" Link slowly turned round. And saw a Goron coming his way. As it approached him he spoke to the rolling Goron. "Excuse me, could you just…" The Goron rolled on by. Link kept on trying to catch a Goron's attention for a few minutes before Navi spoke up.
"Link, I don't think they can hear you" Link nodded at Navi in understanding and when the next Goron came around…
"HEY COULD YOU JUST…" Again the Goron rolled on by. 'Maybe these Gorons are deaf' Link thought.
"Link your going to have to catch the attention of one of them somehow." Link again nodded in understanding and drew his sword. He tried to strike the ground in front of one of the Gorons, but it went by faster than he thought and Link missed him altogether. "What are you doing?" Navi worryingly questioned.
"Trying to catch his attention." As Link and Navi stated to argue, Link had his sword tilted at an angle. Another Goron was approaching them and the sword was tilted away from him. When the Goron hit the sword, it acted as a mini ramp. The Goron went flying upwards and hit the ceiling, then fell crashing to the floor. Both Link and Navi turned to see the commotion as the Goron, who was easily seven feet in height, angrily stomped to them. "Umm… are you alright?" Link nervously asked.
"Well you got one of their attentions." Navi whispered to Link. The Goron didn't answer Link but picked him up and dragged him through the village up to the very top floor. Link tried on several occasions to ask where he was being taken but the Goron still didn't say anything. Right at the top of the village, the Goron dropped Link on the floor and walked up to one of the Goron guards. After Link picked himself up, The Goron again grabbed him and dragged him through a door that had been opened up by the guard. The Goron threw Link to the floor again and walked up to another, bigger, Goron standing in the new room. Link picked himself up again and looked at the two Gorons. He mentally noted that the Gorons were talking to each other, probably about him and in a language he couldn't understand.
"So, Who are you to barge into the Goron village and attack my people?" the big Goron demandingly asked. From this Link assumed he was the leader and was also thankful that he spoke Hylian. "WELL?" He demanded again.
"Umm, I'm…" Link nervously started to answer.
"SPEAK UP" The Goron yelled. Navi flew over to him and started to yell at him.
"You listen here…" Navi said to the now stunned Goron "That there is Link, he was sent here to see the leader of the Gorons on the order of Princess Zelda herself!"
"You were sent here by Princess Zelda of Hyrule?" The now calmed Goron asked Link, but Navi was the one who answered for him.
"Is there any other Princess Zelda in all of Hyrule?" Navi said. The Goron tried to ignore her.
"Have you any proof?" the Goron asked. Link though for a second before remembering the letter Zelda had given him. He got the letter out and gave it to the Goron. The Goron opened the letter and looked at it, before giving it back to Link. "Forgive me, I did not realise that you were sent here on her highnesses request." Link looked at the letter himself. All he saw was the Hylian royal symbol and Princess Zelda's signature. The leader of the Gorons saw the look of Link looking at the letter. "The Hylian Royal symbol and Princess Zelda's signature is all the proof that anyone in Hyrule needs to know that it came from princess Zelda herself. As you can see Zelda still refuses to sign Dragmire as the King demands, so that's how you can tell its authenticity."
"Oh" Link said and folded the letter and put it away.
"So what does the Princess request from the Gorons?"
"Well, Mr Goron Sir"
"Please call me Darmani" The Goron said.
"Ok Darmani. We believe that the Gorons posses something that can prove if a person is the Princess of destiny. Princess Zelda needs to prove this." Darmani thought about it for a few seconds before calling over the Goron that brought Link to Darmani and talked to him. After a few minutes of conversation in the Goron tongue, Darmani turned back to Link.
"Yes I believe we do have the item you are looking for. However, even though Princess Zelda herself sends you, I am afraid that due to Goron laws we cannot just give you the item. The item you require is in the Cave of Death Mountain, and if you want the item you must retrieve it yourself. I am afraid that those are our laws and there is nothing I can do to change this."
"Ok, I can understand and respect that." Link said. "Just where is this cave?"
"I will show you to a side entrance to Goron Village, from there you should carry on for three hundred rolls, I'm sorry you don't work in Goron measurements. If you carry on straight you will see the entrance, it's signposted anyway. But from there you are on your own."
"Thank you Darmani." Link said as Darmani led him to another entrance to the village. Link left the village and headed in the direction he had been told the Cave of Death Mountain was in. After hours of walking, Link came face to face with a cliff. After silently contemplating what to do, Navi yelled at him.
"HEY LINK." [AN: Sorry, couldn't resist!] Link walked over to where his companion was. Navi was floating around a wooden signpost. As Link approached it Navi spoke up. "It says that here the entrance to Death Mountain Caves, but I don't see it anywhere." Link took a closer look at the sign. It read:
The Caves Of Death Mountain
The Entrance can only be open
from the view of the Gods
Link pondered on what to do. He knew that people could open the caves, or Darmani would not have sent him out here without telling him that. Or would he, after all Darmani did say that he could only direct Link to the caves. 'No' Link mentally shook his head 'They can be opened' he thought optimistically. "Any ideas?" Link asked Navi.
"Hmm, not at the moment, no. Have you got any ideas?" Link was about to say no, when something caught his eye.
"Yes I have." Link walked to the right of the sign up to some vines hanging down. "We'll go up to the top, maybe we could find a clue to open the caves."
"What if we don't find a clue?" Navi asked.
"We wont know till we try, we'll answer that if we don't find anything." Link said, tugging the vines to make sure they would support his weight. Link climbed up the shear rock face via these vines for a few minutes, almost losing his grip several times. Eventually they got to the top. Link was awe struck at the view that he saw. He could see far across the land of Hyrule. From the castle town just to the right, to the forest which was past a river over to the left. There was a large village in the centre of the field, which Link assumed was Lon Lon Village. And the entrance to the valley was on the far left of him. Far across the field was the great ocean, past the cliffs of Hyila. He looked down the mountain to see the Goron and Kakariko villages. And then he looked directly down to see the sign that marked the entrance to the Caves of Death Mountain. That's when he noticed it. A ledge extruded out of the rock face, too high up for anyone to notice on the floor, but low enough not to notice from the top, unless looking down on it like…
"A gods view!" Link blurted out.
"Huh?" Navi questioned.
"How do gods view the world?" Link suddenly turned around asking his companion.
"As their creation?" Navi answered.
"No I mean actually view it, with their eyes." Link corrected his friends misunderstanding
"From above, they look down on… oh right" Navi realised what Link was getting at and went to the side to look at what Link was talking about.
"See, a god would look down on everything. That's what the sign meant. You have to open the caves from the view of the gods, in other words above the caves."
"Makes sense. But how do you open it?" Navi asked, at last they were getting somewhere.
"Well, see that ledge." He pointed to the ledge that he had noticed before.
"Link, that ledge has the Triforce symbol on it" Navi noticed.
"Exactly, I think that ledge has something to do with opening the Caves."
"Ok, but then how do we get down there." Navi looked there was no easy way to the ledge.
"Jump?" Link looked at Navi. "Seems to be the only way." Navi looked at the situation again.
"Yes, your right. But that's quite a bit of a drop."
"I have an idea." Link took out his sword and looked at it. "If I jump off the cliff and use the sword to slow me down before impact, then I should be fine." [AN: he's gonna use the sword as a shock absorber, but I doubt that they would be in Hyrule back then, so he cant say 'I'm gonna use the sword as a shock absorber!]
"I see, well if you feel safe doing it, fine." So Link looked over the side one last time before taking a couple of steps back and then jumping off. Link lowered the sword below him, holding both hands onto the handle. As Link approached the ledge, he pushed the sword further beneath him and braced for the impact. As the sword struck the rock, it started to go into it and as Link landed on it, the ledge started to lower to the ground. Link was fine and when the Ledge reached the ground, removed his sword from it. At that point the ground shook as an ark shape appeared in the rock face and the insides disappeared in dust to leave a door. Link looked at Navi and then cautiously inside. Link then walked into the Caves of Death Mountain.
Link had been walking for about ten minuets. He was thinking on how inappropriately named this place was. It was not a cave, it was more like a passageway, a long straight passageway. And for being Death Mountain, he hadn't found anything. It wasn't long after this thought that he came across a room. The room was large and round and was decorated like it was for a king. It did not seem as if Link was in the mountain any more. Although the rock was still visible around the walls, the floor was covered in carpet. In the centre of the room stood a pedestal, on top of which was a medallion. Link had to climb up five steps to get to the round floor that the pedestal stood on. Link looked at the medallion to see if it was what he was looking for. He decided to take it and placed it in a bag attached to his belt. The pedestal then sank into the ground.
"Well that was easy." Link said. "Lets get back to Zelda." Before Link moved, the ground shook and the door closed. Torches then lit up around the dark room and Link turned to see something he had expected all along.
To be continued…
YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! I finally finished this chapter. I know it's taken me ages to do, but that's writers block for you. And from the looks of things it seems that there has been a bit of a writers block bug going around. Anyway, now that this chapter is done I better start the next one, I've got quite a bit to do. Also I have an idea for another Zelda fic (Oh brother) that takes place FAR in the future of OOT. The prologues already been written, and I'll post it once I get the first chapter done. But for now read this and my other fics (specially my original – Zoners.) and PLEASE I BEG YOU REVIEW. See all you have to do is press the button in the left corner and write what you think about this chapter (or the fic if this is the first time you've read it) in the window that pops up and then click submit.
