Author's Note: I own no one. *sniff*

Link walked along the path, burning bushes as he went along. He knew that he didn't need a portal to find a season for his rod, but he was bored and needed something to do. He burned a bush and came across an entryway.

Link peered down the deep hole and tapped a step with his foot. It didn't budge. He went down carefully, taking each step one by one, so that he might not come upon a broken one and fall ten feet to his death.

At the bottom was a room with a bed and a stove. An old man sat on a chair. There was a tunnel leading out, but Link was curious about the man who lived in the dark, dark cave with only a single candle for light.

"Hello, mister." Link said.

The old man lifted his head. "Light." He said. "You cut the bush, guarding the entrance of my house. Thank you, young sir. Here are twelve rupees. That is all I have. If you would like to go to Snake's Remains, then go through that tunnel."

"Thank you." Link said, and ventured into the tunnel. When he got to the other side, he was standing in a single room. The way he came in was blocked, and there was no way out. Link waited to see what would happen.

A face, two eyes and an evil smile, appeared in the center of the room. Link slashed at it with his sword, but it was of no use. He tried setting it on fire, but it did nothing. Suddenly, flames shot out of its mouth, scorching Link's right arm. He dropped his sword, screaming in agony. The flames stopped, and the face spoke.

"Fire with fire." It said. Fire with fire, Link thought. What do I have besides the ember seeds that will create fire…

Link took out a bomb. With as careful aim as he could manage, he threw the bomb onto the face. The bomb blew up, and the face exploded. Link threw two more, and then it disappeared. Link rubbed his arm and healed himself with the two hearts the face left behind. A door appeared, and Link walked through it, picking up his sword.

When Link entered the room, he winced. He would never beat this foe. It was a dinosaur, with ferociously sharp teeth and a white horn on his head. In the center of the room were spikes. In each corner of the room were plants. What am I going to do? Link thought. I'll die, and then I won't be able to save Lyndsey…

Lyndsey, he thought. Home. I have to beat this guy.

"I am Dodongo." Said the dinosaur. "I will kill you!"

He rushed at Link, but Link dodged the rampaging beast swiftly. He hacked off a plant, and found a power bracelet. The beast opened his mouth, and Link stuck a bomb in it. Dodongo was stunned, and was blown up like a balloon. Link lifted the giant beast, and threw him into the spikes. Dodongo screamed, and left a heart container. Link picked it up, and went to the next room. Inside was an Essence, and Link pocketed it. He went out the way he came, and started toward the shop, hoping he wouldn't be too late.

That's it. Short, I know. The next chapter is even shorter, so don't kill me. I'll be posting the next shortly. Ooh, it sends chills down my back!
