THE SWORD OF LIGHT
Chapter 5: Escape from Death Mountain

The Fire Arrow bounced harmlessly of the strong armor. Goron Link turned to Hylian Link. "It's not strong enough! Can't you get anything more powerful?" Link pulled out Din's Fire and cast in on the ground. It did nothing to the Volvagia Child, though. Goron Link picked up more and more flaming rocks and chucked them at the dragon. Hylian Link searched for something to use. "Hurry!" cried Goron Link, tiring from the rocks. Goron Link stumbled, sucking in air. The Volvagia child lunged at them, its mouth open. Without thinking, Link pulled out the Wand of Kiroy and swung it. A bright green light ignighted from the tip of the wand, and the dragon was entangled in weeds and schrubery. Link suddenly remembered the power of the Deku Gem. He looked up at the dragon, struggling at his binds. Hylian Link turned to Goron Link. "Start running. Now!" Goron Link turned and ran. Hylian Link aimed his fire arrow, and ignighted the plants. The Volvagia child screamed, and Hylian Link turned and ran too. Hylian Link caught up to Goron Link. "Why are we *wheeze* running?" Goron Link spat out. Hylian Link stared straight ahead. "I have a feeling Volvagia will try to finish us as we leave. Ganondorf once tried to do the same and I'm getting a bad vibe......" Without warning, the ground shook, and a bare, unarmored Volvagia child shot up at them. "Keep going!" Hylian Link cried. Goron Link didnt even turn around. He kept running, while Hylian Link skidded to a halt, whipped around and drew his Biggoron sword.

Nabooru stood still, trying to contact her sister. Nabooru had awakened as a Sage. Nubaru had thought Link killed her, and Nubaru was an expert at torture. Whats worse, they were going to use Link to revive Ganon. Nabooru opened her eyes, and felt a swell of evil and hate growing in Gerudo. "You'd have thought they'd learn...." muttered Nabooru. "They never do." said a hoarse voice from behind. She turned to see Rauru standing behind her. "Gerudo are stubborn. They do not like being proved wrong. Nabooru, you must find a way to contact them and show them the error of their ways. You are the only one they will listen to Nabooru....." "....I.....Know....." Nabooru stared out into Chamber of Sages, and sighed. "Nabooru....." Rauru put a hand on her shoulder, and grinned. "I'm sure Saria would know a way to contact Link, hm?"

Link dipped his sword in Lava, making it scolding hot. Link stabbed the monster in the face, right between the eyes. It screamed, and flung Link away. He stabbed again and again, each time a direct hit on one of Its pressure points. Finally, Link finished it with a horizontal slash across it's neck. It fell down, and Link picked up the two shards of the Gem it left. "There," he said outloud. "All three shards!" Nothing happened. they didnt re-form or anything. Link heard an ear-piercing shreik, and turned to see The dragon screaming it's last, and doing something to to mountain. He gasped as the ground shook, realizing it's idea:cause an eruption. Link scrambled for the door, but it was blocked by a huge boulder. He looked up and saw the blue sky through the crater. He looked down and saw the lava rising. It stopped, then shot up super fast, engulfing the entire crater.

Goron Link stood outside and watched the eruption. He stared at the entrance, but Link nevered showed. Goron Link struggled at the massive winds the volcano was blowing out. He could barely keep his footing it was so powerful. He stared at Kakariko, and saw the windmill going almost disturbingly fast. He looked back at the mountain, and saw a green rock fly out of the mountain. He stared harder, and saw Link riding some kind of magic leaf. He celebrated, jumped in the air, and was thrown back 20 feet.

Link held onto his Deku Leaf for dear life. He saw Goron Link and yelled, but he was swept into Kakariko Village. He landed where he started, on the roof with the man watching Death Mountain. "Wow!" he exclaimed, his eyes almost outside of his head. "That was amazing! Did you finish the dragon?" Link nodded. "Well, then you deserve a secret, don't you?" The man moved closer to Link. "I'm not human. I'm a goron. Two witches did this two me. One was of Fire and the other of Ice. I was the keeper of the Goron Gem, but they broke it into pieces and tossed it into Death Mountain. They said if it was ever restored, i would become goron again. and if you have all the pieces, I can put them together." Link handed him the four pieces. A bright red light lite everything in the village. When it faded there was a completed red gem, and a goron. "It worked! Thank you! Ok, my name is Deomer. And the fire gem is my magic in a solid form. It can control the element of fire, making it at your command! Use it wisely, however, for it is very powerful!" And with that, Deomer hopped off the roof and walked up to Death Mountain.

The two Links stood by the gate of Kakariko, saying final good byes. On his way out, a guard stopped him. "Hey you! I saw how you killed that dragon. Now, Mr. Hero, I need you to check something out. Our water has been kind of odd tasting lately. We get it from the river that passes by our village. Think you could heck it out, Mr. Hero?" Link stood for a bit, remembering the gaurd he gave the Keaton Mask, but soon snapped back to reality. "Sure, I'm headed there anyway!" Link walked out, and looked at the stream. It looked fine. He took a drink, and could taste something odd.... He walked up the river to the first mini-waterfall and stumbled. Trickling down the river along with the water was blood.
