Chapter 2 is here, for those of you who liked it. For those of you who
didn't, I took the liberty of twisting it a little bit so Link doesn't
sound so completely idiotic; I must admit I was being a bit unfair to the
poor boy. O.~
After we'd left the castle and bought the necessary supplies, Link and I headed off to Death Mountain, the site of our next escapade. Upon arriving, we met the Goron's Boss, Darunia, who didn't seem to like us too much. He kept on shouting obscenities at us every time we tried to talk to him, and we did not find this at all pleasing. Now, I'm generally not a quitter, but I was so irritated by this creature's hopeless lack of etiquette that I sat down on the stairs in front of Darunia's room and poked at the bugs on the floor with a Deku Stick.
However, Link showed me that there was still hope for him and the rest of Hyrule by displaying a brilliant stroke of genius that I previously would not have thought possible from him. While walking around on one of the many levels of ground, he went over by the entrance to the Lost Woods. He heard Saria's Song playing, and he grabbed my arm. "Erin, I have an idea. Come on." He pulled me back down to Darunia's room and said, "Watch this, it just might work." He began playing Saria's Song for Darunia, whose grumpy expression abruptly disappeared and changed into one of enormous delight. He started dancing like a maniac about the room, all dignity forgotten. Frightened, Link and I backed away from him slowly.
"Make him stop." I whispered to Link as Darunia continued to skip idiotically around. Finally, after about 3 minutes of immensely frightening movement, he stopped dancing.
"Wow, that was great," said Darunia, a childish grin plastered across his broad face. "So, what brings you two all the way up here on Death Mountain? Oh, is this your girlfriend?" he asked Link, nudging him with his elbow.
"AACK!!! NOOOO!!!!" I screeched, glaring evilly at Darunia. "How could you possibly think that?! What is wrong with you?! Link is my best friend, nothing more, and don't you forget about it!!!" I finished, panting breathlessly. I gave him one last menacing look and shut my eyes, trying valiantly to regain my composure.
"Okay, okay, you're not his girlfriend. So, what brings you two kids who are definitely not lovebirds to beautiful Goron City??" he asked, backing slowly away from me and giving me a cautious and frightened peek. "Don't let her bite me," he added to Link out of the corner of his mouth.
"We want the Spiritual Stone of Fire. We need it for our quest to save Hyrule," Link said bluntly. And, even though it was in a loud, easily- audible-by-people-who-aren't-meant-to-hear-it whisper, he added, "Don't worry, she doesn't bite, usually."
"I don't bite, Link, stop scaring him," I said, playfully shoving Link toward an appalled Darunia. "We'll do just about anything for that Spiritual Stone, because the fate of Hyrule depends on our getting it."
"Well, if you two want it that badly, then destroy the monsters in the Dodongo's Cavern. That way, we'll have our food supply back and you'll gain power from beating all of those adversaries. If you do that, I'll give you anything you want, even the Spiritual Stone," Darunia explained. "Also, take these. I'm sure they'll help you on your quest. They're my thanks for helping me feel better." He rummaged around in a box on his floor, and pulled out two golden bracelets. "They're Goron's Bracelets, and they'll help even youngsters like you pull up Bomb Flowers," he added, seeing the puzzled looks on our faces.
"Wow, cool!!" Link shouted, putting his on. "Thanks, Mr. Darunia!!!"
"This is pretty neat," I added, donning mine. "Thank you. I'm sure we'll be able to put them to good use."
"You're very welcome," said Darunia. "Now, when you've beaten all the monsters, you should go up to the top of Death Mountain and see the Great Fairy. I'm sure she will help you as well."
"Well, I guess that's all we can do here right now," I said to Link. "We should probably get started beating those disgusting pieces of filth in the Cavern. Let's go!!"
We headed down to Dodongo's Cavern, and we blew up the rocks in front. Once inside, I had a feeling that something wasn't right. "D'you think we should get out our Hylian shields? Our Deku Shields will probably burn up in this heat," I said quietly to Link.
"Yeah, you're probably right," he whispered. We equipped our Hylian shields and then moved further into the cave.
Well, I'm waiting for reviews, so tell me what you think! Should I continue on like this, or change the mood again? Let me know!! ~*Princess Ryoko*~
