Bring on the Heat
After getting well out of sight of the gate, the boys started talking franticly with
each other, so as not get bored. They climbed further up the trail till they spotted
something red with four yellow legs. "It's a Red Tektite!" yelled Derrick who was now
shielding the boys. Michael then charged at it and killed it in two swift swipes of his
blade.
"Aw man. We wanted to fight it," pouted Hiro "Why'd you have to go and do
that, dad?" asked Sheik, "Sorry kids, but it would be safer if you let us handle these," said
Michael in a concerned manor. With newfound boredom, the friends continued to follow
the knights even further up the trail, which was supposed to take them to Goron City.
Ten minutes had passed since they had killed the big spider looking monster, and
now the boys had started to brag to the two knights about their fighting skills. "We could
have sliced that bug into itsy bitsy pieces. Right Sheik?" asked the prince, "Right Hiro,"
agreed his friend. "Look! It's another Red Tektite!" exclaimed Sheik; "I got this one!"
shouted Hiro as he ran forward.
"Hiro! Stop!" shouted Derrick as he tried to pull the boy back, but it was no use.
Hiro was well out of reach and pulled out his sword and sliced the spider down the
middle. "Oh No!" cried out Derrick, "It's still alive!" "I'm coming, Hiro!" exclaimed
Sheik as he charged forward to help his friend.
Sheik took out his daggers, ran passed Hiro, and stabbed the Red Tektite right in
the eye, killing it. "Yeah!" shouted Hiro. "We beat him!" exclaimed Sheik. "I guess they
weren't lying about their fighting skills after all." Said Michael, "Yeah," agreed Derrick.
"Come on you two. We still have a long hike in front of us," stated Michael. "Coming,"
said both boys at once.
After hiking for two hours, and killing 7 Red Tektites, the group came to a fork in
the path. The group had no idea of which way to go. "Where you heading?" asked a
voice. This made the boys jump and the knights' look around franticly. All of a sudden, a
rock lifted itself up to reveal that it was a Goron. "Cool!" exclaimed the friends.
"Oh, a Goron. We're heading towards Goron City, but we don't know how to get
there," said Derrick. "Take the right path and keep following that trail. You can't miss the
entrance," spoke the Goron. "Thank you," replied Michael, as they headed down the right
path.
"Are we almost there?" asked Sheik, "Almost. I can see it up ahead," replied his
father. The two shot their heads up and smiles appeared on their faces as they ran ahead
of the knights. "Wait up!" shouted Derrick. The boys stopped and waited for the other
two and then they entered the city together.
The boys looked at their surroundings, wide eyed with excitement. They ran to
the plank of wood that over looked the lower levels and looked down at the sights. They
watched in amazement at the giant, spinning, Goron Urn. They then looked at the level
right under them and looked on as a smaller Goron with a red tunic was rolling on the
track.
"Geo! Stop! You're going too fast! Your spikes will come out if you continue this
pace!" shouted another Goron that was watching the first. The young Goron heard the
other, so he tried to stop. Unfortunately, this caused him to skid right into the closest
wall. "Geo, are you all right?" asked the same Goron as before. "Yeah, I'm fine," replied
the young Goron with a sad look. "I can just never get my rolling done right." "You'll get
it right with practice, my son," spoke the father. "You're right, dad. Thanks," agreed Geo.
Then they went through a doorway.
"Come on, kids. We have to speak with Darunia since the stone isn't on its
pedestal," said Derrick getting the attention of the two. They walked down two sets of
stairs before they finally reached the bottom. The door was closed. "Now what?" asked
Derrick. "I know!" exclaimed Hiro as he pulled out the ocarina and played ` '.
After the melody was played, the door slowly opened allowing them passage.
"Cool," said Sheik as Hiro put the instrument away. The four walked inside and came to
Darunia's chambers. After stepping inside a Goron jumped out and yelled, "Get out of
my grandfather's chamber!" He then charged at them only to end up running into a wall
because the others had stepped out of the way.
"Geo, what's going on in here?" asked another Goron as he entered the room.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" asked the Goron once he saw the group.
"My name is Sir Michael, a royal knight of Hyrule, this is Sir Derrick, another knight,
Sheik, my son, and Hiro, prince of Hyrule," spoke Michael to the two Gorons.
"We wish to speak with Darunia," he continued. "What do you wish to speak to
him of?" asked the same Goron. "We need the Spiritual Stone of Fire." Answered
Derrick. The Goron looked a bit depressed and said, "I'm sorry but, my father is not here.
He disappeared yesterday when this strange blue crystal surrounded him and transported
him somewhere."
The Goron continued, "His last words, before he vanished were, `hide the
Spiritual Stone'." "Where'd you hide it?" asked Hiro. "Why do want to know? What are
you going to do with it?" asked Geo. "Geo, be nice. I wouldn't be telling them this if they
weren't Link's and Impa's sons," stated the elder Goron. "Excuse my son. He has been a
bit more protective of the City since dad left. Oh, before I forget, my name is Link, Son
of Darunia. I was named after the father of this boy for saving my race," spoke Goron
Link "And this is my son, Geo."
"I'll give you the stone if you can enter Death Mountain Crater and reach the
hidden grotto where it is hidden behind. Also, you have to take my son with you. He
keeps on scaring people away from the city, plus he is an excellent warrior," continued
Goron Link. "Alright," agreed Michael.
Goron Link then walked to the Goron statue and pulled it back to reveal a
passage. He then said, "This passage will lead you to the crater. I would suggest that not
all of you enter. It is pretty hot in there. Oh, and the adults may not enter," "What! Why
not!" argued Derrick. "If these two truly are the sons of who you say they are, they
should have no problem finding the stone," argued back Goron Link.
With the argument done, the three kids entered the crater. "Man, he wasn't
kidding about it being hot in here." Said Sheik. "No kidding," agreed Hiro. The boys
walked right until they reached a ledge and jumped to the other side. They climbed the
ladder to the top then ran over to the boulder in a circle of rocks. "This must be it. Geo,
can we use a bomb?" asked Hiro. "Sure," Geo answered.
Hiro then placed the bomb by the boulder and lit it. The three ran a few feet from
it before it exploded. They waited five seconds before it detonated and then they jumped
down the hole. "It's much cooler in here," said Sheik. "Yeah," sighed Hiro as he walked
up to a treasure chest. He lifted the lid and took out the item inside. It was the Goron's
Ruby.
"Alright! We did it!" cried out Sheik. "Lets head back to the city," said Geo. The
Hylian boys agreed and then they followed their path back to the city. "Look what we
found!" exclaimed Hiro to the two knights who started to shout out with joy that the kids
made it back ok. An hour later Goron Link waved goodbye to the group of five as they
journeyed down the mountain.
"Where to now?' asked Geo. "We're heading to Zora's Domain to get the next
Spiritual Stone," answered Derrick. "But isn't there water in Zora's Domain?"
questioned Geo. "Don't worry. You can stay in Kakariko Village with me while the
others go," answered Michael. "Thank you," responded Geo. Once they reached the
village, Derrick, Hiro and Sheik said their good-byes and continued their travels to Zora's
Domain.
After getting well out of sight of the gate, the boys started talking franticly with
