Many Gorons had disappeared, presumed killed by Ganondorf's forces. The ring of
clouds over Death Mountain had changed into a fierce, poisonous red sending chills into
everybody that looked at it. Shiek and Mera were finding out what had happened.
"We're glad that somebody is trying to find out what is happening. All our guards are to
scared to head up there after what happened to Hyrule Castle," said the Chief Guard of
Kakariko Village.
"Why don't you go yourself?" asked Mera in a high voice.
"Well... Uh... It isn't safe without some sort of army," answered the Chief Guard.
"So you say it isn't safe without an army so you won't go yourself, but you'll allow a
teenage boy and a woman to up there alone?" asked Shiek in and almost fake low voice.
"But your Elite Shiekah Soldiers. Two Elite Soldiers from the warrior race would do
better than two armies of my guards!" replied the Chief Guard nervously.
"Back to business," said Mera. "Do you have any clue what is up there?"
"Some evacuating Gorons said that it was a dragon, but dragons have been extinct for
centuries!" said he Chief Guard.
"Don't be so sure," said Shiek remembering a dream.
"This doesn't matter. We just want permission to scale Death Mountain," said Mera.
"Fine," said the Chief Guard. "But I advise that you arm yourselves better. If it is
Ganondorf or some dragon it will very difficult to defeat them."
"If the prophecy is true we won't defeat them," said Shiek.
"Zel- I mean Shiek be quiet!" snapped Mera.
"What did you say?" asked the Chief Guard.
"Nothing that pertains to you," said Shiek.
"You're up to something. I don't know what but if you don't leave right now I'm going
to get back up," said the Chief Guard.
"No! We need to get up there!" said Shiek.
"Leave right now," said the Chief Guard. "I don't care if a Shiekah founded this town or
not. If you two don't leave right now I'm going to have to arrest you."
"But you don't understand! We need to keep the dragon from spreading into all of
Hyrule before Link can-," started Shiek.
"Shiek!" screamed Mera.
"Alright. Your choice," said the Chief Guard. The Chief Guard reached behind him and
rung a bell. Suddenly swarms of soldiers came pouring out of houses and bars and
shooting galleries.
"There is no need to call your whole army. We will surrender in peace," said Mera.
"But Mera!" cried Shiek.
"Be quiet Zelda," whispered Impa in Zelda's ear. "This will decease the number we have
to fight. Remember, these are our allies. Don't kill them. Just hurt." Zelda nodded.
The Chief Guard rung the bell again and most of the guards went back to what they were
doing. But some of them were still coming.
"Your arresting Shiekah!" exclaimed one of the guards when he came close.
"They're up to something. They said they would come quietly but be careful. Their
soldiers aren't the protectors of the Royal Family for nothing," said the Chief Guard.
"They didn't do to good against the Gerudo a year ago," said a second guard. Impa
stiffened.
Two guards were binding Zelda and Impa's hands when Impa stuck her leg behind her
and tripped the guard tying her hands. He was falling toward the ground when Impa
grabbed the back of his shirt and punched in the face. The guard tying Zelda's hands ran
to help his comrade when Zelda side kicked him in the stomach. The Chief Guard took
out his spear but Impa grabbed it from him.
"We would rather not kill you but we will if we have to," said Impa. Impa then turned
into the rushing guards.
"If you come closer I will kill him! I am not bluffing."
The guards stepped back.
"We are going to go up Death Mountain and into Goron City. When we come down we
will leave everybody alone, as long as everybody leaves us alone. Goodbye," said Impa.
She threw the spear down on the ground and walked to the gate leading up Death
Mountain. Zelda followed.
After she took off her hood and mask Zelda said, "I thought we weren't going to kill
anybody."
"Did I kill him?" asked Impa after she had done the same.
"No, but you said you would," said Zelda.
"I was bluffing," replied Impa.
"But you said you said you weren't!" exclaimed Zelda.
"I lied. If I said I was bluffing they would attack us. If they didn't believe me we would
have had to fight," answered Impa.
"Oh," said Zelda.
"I starting this early," said Impa.
"Why?" asked Zelda.
"You almost gave us away," said Impa. "You talked of the prophecy. Our public mission
is to see what is causing the commotion, not to keep Vovalgia from spreading into all of
Hyrule."
"You almost said my name," said Zelda. Impa didn't respond.
Zelda and Impa walked past Dodongo's Cavern. Ahead, they saw several Gorons rolling
to the cavern to get food. Impa noticed a difference as they rolled. They were rolling
quicker than usual, but also quieter.
"We are getting into Goron territory. Put on your hood," said Impa. Both did so.
"Stop!" yelled Impa to the rolling Gorons. The Gorons stopped.
"Shh! Do you want Vovalgia to hear you and come to eat us all?" asked the head Goron
in a whisper.
"No, we just want to know the location of Darunia, big brother of the Gorons," replied
Impa.
"He is in his room with his child as he usually is," answered a Goron in the back.
"Thank you," said Impa as she and Zelda walked off.
Zelda and Impa walked up Death Mountain until they reached the entrance to Goron
City. They walked in but didn't find the normal Goron City. What they found might as
well as been a ghost town. Instead of the occasional Goron child having a race, all the
children were inside. Such as the adults who were normally outside their homes were
instead inside. Impa and Zelda walked down to the bottom level where Darunia's room
was.
Impa walked onto the rug in front of the door. She took out her harp and played Zelda's
Lullaby, the song used by Royal Messengers to declare who they were. The stone door
opened and Zelda and Impa entered.
Darunia looked up at his guests. "Shiekah?" he asked. "I thought most of your kind were
killed in the Battle of the Castle."
"We weren't," said Impa. "I am Mera. This is my apprentice Shiek."
"What are you here for? Vovalgia is a Goron problem. I will take care of him," said
Darunia. Zelda wondered how he knew what they were here for.
"That might be a Goron problem now but eventually there will be no more Gorons on
Death Mountain. If there are no more Gorons, Vovalgia will leave Death Mountain and
terrorize the rest of Hyrule. Then not only would we have Ganondorf to deal with we
would also have a dragon," said Impa. "That's why we are here. Not to protect the
Gorons but the rest of Hyrule."
"I said I would take care of Vovalgia," replied Darunia.
"How?" asked Zelda.
"Centuries ago Vovalgia devastated the old Goron City. But a hero with a legendary
hammer came and defeated the dragon. I am from the direct bloodline of that hero. I
would have already left to the Fire Temple where the dragon lives and killed him but I do
not want to leave Link alone until he is old enough to take care of himself," explained
Darunia.
"Link!" cried Zelda.
"What is wrong with him?" asked Darunia.
"Nothing. Who is Link?" asked Impa.
"Link is my son. He is named after the young hero who got rid of the Dodongos in
Dodongo's Cavern just a little more than a year ago," answered Darunia.
"We know of your pride, Darunia, and we would hate to shatter it. But we need
permission to find and destroy Vovalgia. I know you would rather you be the one to
destroy it but if you wait any longer there will no longer be any Gorons for you to
protect!" screamed Zelda in her fake deep voice. Darunia seemed to ponder this for a
while.
Three minutes later he said, "Fine. You can fight Vovalgia. I am sorry I let my pride get
a hold of myself."
"Thank you," said Impa. The turned around and head back into Goron City.
"Mera, where are we going to find Vovalgia? Not even the Gorons know exactly where
he is," said Zelda.
"They think he is in the Fire Temple," answered Impa.
"How do we get in there?" asked Zelda.
"It's hidden somewhere. We'll have to ask Darunia if we can't find it," replied Impa.
"Where are we going to rest?" asked Zelda.
"In a Goron hotel. Now stop asking questions," said Impa.
"A Goron hotel! But they sleep on rocks!" exclaimed Zelda.
Several hours later Zelda and Impa were awaken by an arguing outside their door.
"Those two are not Shiekah! And if they are they are no longer on our side! Now get of
my way you stupid Goron and let me in that room!" yelled the voice Zelda recognized as
the Chief Guard from Kakariko Village.
"You can't go in there! They gave the whole staff some the best tasting rocks we ever
had! You can arrest them if you wish but you will have to wait until tomorrow morning,"
replied the manager of the hotel. All the while Zelda and Impa were getting their armor
and disguises on.
"Get out my way!" screamed the Chief Guard. Zelda heard thud a pot crash on the floor.
"I said you can't go in there!" yelled the Goron. Just then Zelda heard other guards take
out their swords and knives.
"Guards!" screamed the Goron. Zelda heard doors opening and heaving footsteps.
"Now," Impa whispered to Zelda. "Once they start fighting we need to sneak out to the
door."
"But they're fighting for us," said Zelda. "We can't just leave them."
"Gorons hold their word, Zelda. It doesn't matter who they are protecting or fighting for.
If they gave their word to protect Ganondorf they would protect him. We've got to go,"
said Impa. Outside they heard yelling and fighting.
"Come on," whispered Impa. Impa quietly opened the stone door and walked out. Zelda
followed. Outside, Gorons and Kakariko Guards were fighting. The Gorons were
winning since the swords barely pierced the Gorons' rock-like flesh. Most of the
Kakariko Guards didn't notice Zelda or Impa, or as they knew them Mera and Shiek, and
if any of them did they were too busy to yell out or chase after them.
"Wait stop right there!" yelled one guard who wasn't fighting a Goron at the moment.
"It's the Shiekah!"
Guards who weren't fighting turned and chased after Zelda and Impa. One guard
grabbed Zelda but Zelda turned around and punched him in the chin. She stuck her foot
behind his ankle and tripped him. Then she kicked him in the stomach and turned to run.
Another guard tackled Impa but was flipped over her and slammed into the ground. Impa
got up and ran. There were some guards outside the hotel but were hit from behind the
head by Zelda and Impa.
"We need to get to Darunia," said Impa. They started running towards his room. When
they got near the door Darunia opened it.
"What is happening?" he asked.
"We'll tell you later! Now let us in!" screamed Impa. Darunia got out of the way and let
them in. He slammed the door shut.
"Where is the safest place on Death Mountain?" asked Impa.
"I would normally say the Fire Temple but now that Vovalgia has wakened you stand
almost no chance of going in and not running into Vol-," began Darunia.
"That's what we want anyway. Where's the entrance?" asked Impa.
"I permit you to go in there without properly arming yourselves. You stand no chance of
surviving with just knives and bows and-," said Darunia.
"We don't care!" screamed Zelda almost forgetting to use her fake deep voice. "Where is
the entrance?"
"Right behind this statue," said Darunia, pulling away the statue that rested in the back of
his room. Zelda and Impa walked into the Fire Temple.
It was blistering hot inside the Fire Temple. Zelda felt like she was going to fry!
"We need to look for Vovalgia," said Impa.
"But Darunia was right, Impa," said Zelda. "We don't stand a chance with just knives and
arrows. Maybe we could have gotten away and snuck back into Goron City, and then
bought some bombs or a Goron Tunic. I'm already dehydrated!"
"We could have easily have taken out the guards by ourselves nevermind help from the
Gorons. They don't know it but they aren't trained enough for actual battle. They're just
there to delay any enemies until the army gets there," said Impa.
"Then why did we run?" asked Zelda.
"We never would have gotten in here. Darunia would have never told us where the
entrance was unless it was absolutely necessary. You saw how he hesitated. We'll just
have to hope that knives are good enough," answered Impa.
The Fire Temple was a lava filled shrine. Fire Keese were everywhere as were Like
Likes. Impa and Zelda dodged these monsters as they searched for Vovalgia. Finally,
they found the door that led to the room where Vovalgia slept.
"It's locked," said Zelda.
"I know," replied Impa.
"How are we going to open it?" asked Zelda. Impa tried to break the lock but it was firm.
"Stay here," said Impa. Impa ran over to a pool of lava by the door. She took out her
knife and stuck it into the lava. She then quickly pulled it out. Her knife was red hot.
Impa ran back to the door and sliced at the lock. It cut into two pieces.
"Zelda, if you get too injured to fight stay back and try to get out. I will do the same if I
get too injured," said Impa. Zelda nodded. Impa opened the door.
"I don't see him," whispered Zelda.
"He'll come out," replied Impa. Zelda and Impa walked around the room. The ground
was covered in small lava pits, but big enough for a dragon to slip through.
"Maybe he's underground," supposed Zelda.
"He might," said Impa. Zelda was walking around when she kicked a rock. It fell into
one of the lava pits. The ground started to shake. Lava splashed up into the air. Out of
the pit the rock fell into flew a long slender dragon. It blew fire into the air.
"Impa," cried Zelda.
Impa took out her bow and arrow and shot Vovalgia in the eye. Vovalgia roared and
turned toward Impa. He opened his mouth and fire flew at the Shiekah. Impa rolled right
to dodge the fire. Vovalgia slammed into the ground trying to smash Impa. But Impa
jumped up and landed on Vovalgia's back.
"Ah!" screamed Impa as she touched the dragon's hot flesh. But Impa ignored the pain
and started to stab the dragon in the eye with her knife. Vovalgia roared in pain.
"Impa!" screamed Zelda. As Vovalgia got closer to the ground Zelda grabbed his tail and
held on. Zelda tried her best to ignore pain as Impa had taught her but the burning was
almost too much. Meanwhile, Impa was still stabbing Vovalgia. Vovalgia then started to
speed toward one of the lava pits.
"Jump!" screamed Impa. Zelda jumped down onto the ground. Impa jumped also but
too late! Her right leg went knee deep into the lava before she got it out.
"Impa!" cried Zelda. Zelda ran over to Impa. Fortunately, the leather armor had
protected her leg from being burnt off but her skin was black and peeling.
"I'm alright! It will heal in time. Now when Vovalgia come back up you need kill him.
I don't know how but you need to kill him!" yelled Impa. Just then a lava pit on the other
side of the cavern started to bubble. Vovalgia soared out of the pit.
"Go!" screamed Impa. Zelda ran toward Vovalgia and grabbed him. Vovalgia went
straight up. He shot a fireball at the ceiling of the cavern creating a hole into the air.
Vovalgia flew out of the Fire Temple and over Death Mountain.
Zelda couldn't hold on and fell. She hit the side of Death Mountain and started to roll.
She hit the ground again and again. When she finally stopped she felt enormous pain
from her chest. Blood was dripping from her nose.
"Great," said Zelda. "My ribs and nose are broken and Vovalgia is loose. I have to get to
Kakariko Village."
At Kakariko Village...........
The villagers saw the dragon speeding toward them.
"Run!" screamed a villager.
"We're all going to die!" screamed another. Vovalgia opened his mouth and fired a
fireball. The fireball hit a house. The house exploded. The attack had begun.

turned toward Impa. He opened his mouth and fire flew at the Shiekah. Impa rolled right
to dodge the fire. Vovalgia slammed into the ground trying to smash Impa. But Impa
jumped up and landed on Vovalgia's back.
"Ah!" screamed Impa as she touched the dragon's hot flesh. But Impa ignored the pain
and started to stab the dragon in the eye with her knife. Vovalgia roared in pain.
"Impa!" screamed Zelda. As Vovalgia got closer to the ground Zelda grabbed his tail and
held on. Zelda tried her best to ignore pain as Impa had taught her but the burning was
almost too much. Meanwhile, Impa was still stabbing Vovalgia. Vovalgia then started to
speed toward one of the lava pits.
"Jump!" screamed Impa. Zelda jumped down onto the ground. Impa jumped also but
too late! Her right leg went knee deep into the lava before she got it out.
"Impa!" cried Zelda. Zelda ran over to Impa. Fortunately, the leather armor had
protected her leg from being burnt off but her skin was black and peeling.
"I'm alright! It will heal in time. Now when Vovalgia come back up you need kill him.
I don't know how but you need to kill him!" yelled Impa. Just then a lava pit on the other
side of the cavern started to bubble. Vovalgia soared out of the pit.
"Go!" screamed Impa. Zelda ran toward Vovalgia and grabbed him. Vovalgia went
straight up. He shot a fireball at the ceiling of the cavern creating a hole into the air.
Vovalgia flew out of the Fire Temple and over Death Mountain.
Zelda couldn't hold on and fell. She hit the side of Death Mountain and started to roll.
She hit the ground again and again. When she finally stopped she felt enormous pain
from her chest. Blood was dripping from her nose.
"Great," said Zelda. "My ribs and nose are broken and Vovalgia is loose. I have to get to
Kakariko Village."
At Kakariko Village...........
The villagers saw the dragon speeding toward them.
"Run!" screamed a villager.
"We're all going to die!" screamed another. Vovalgia opened his mouth and fired a
fireball. The fireball hit a house. The house exploded. The attack had begun.
