I don't own Zelda characters (like Link or Kafei or some of the faeries) or
any of their stuff (like the lands and items) they all belong to Nintendo
people. Though Katherine owns some of the characters, and I own the others
after that. And some are made up to go with Zelda but were not made by the
Nintendo Company so they are mine not theirs.

Well, another day and another thing trying to get its greasy paws around my throat. Eh.I'm really sick and I have to do so much make up work I'm stressing out. I have mid terms all this week so I'll try writing between studying and doing late homework. I haven't even gotten to the Christmas story. It's so cold out anyway I wouldn't want to write it until July. I have so many more ideas that I got for my story and not enough time to do it in. Now I'm going to go get my lunch and start typing this bugger though now I have mono. Hope this is the story that has my really great magic stuff in! ^_^.

Chapter 6: Treasure Hunters Greed
After brushing themselves off and getting the soot out of their hair, the group slowly made their way to the desolate ground around the fire that Kat had made with Din's fire.
"You know, you really ought to work on aiming that thing," Timbre said as he took off his trench coat and shook it.
Link nodded his head in agreement as a few singed hairs fell off of his head.
Kat just smirked, "I told you that I could do it if I kept at it!"
Kas looked around the campsite. He too was over taken by the blast of fire that came from the young lady but he had the most sense of them all and ducked behind that rock, that Chiron had mentioned, before he got burned too badly. He looked around and things were pretty much destroyed. Most of the food packs that were lying around were not much more than cinders and the sleeping bags were still smoking. Once and a while a leaf would crinkle under the heat of a small lit fire that was still alive. Everything seemed normal but Kas wasn't too sure about that.
"I want you all to stay around the camp site," Kas explained "because there may have been something that could have popped up in the fire."
Chiron finally got up from where he was laying in the midst of the burnt tree. It may have been a miracle that he didn't wear hair gel at night, or else his hair would have gone up in flames. Pedro merrily jumped around as his counterpart walked toward the fire dusting himself off.
"You know, we should do this more often," Pedro chimed "'cause then we could make a bon fire!"
Dink, who was helping Kas survey the area, crossed her arms and humphed, "You know you could burn down the whole campsite if you made a bon fire."
"Really?" he said maniacally.
Dink bowed her head and flew over to him. He fell smack on his face as she smacked him upside the side of his head.
Kas walked around still looking. Not that he was looking for anything in particular but he was looking for anything strange that may have showed up after the scorching process of the Din's fire.
Dink found that in that ten-foot radius that was around the campsite, there was something, but it was not all too strange for the land of Hyrule. There was a hole. Not a pothole type hole, and not one of those holes that a kid digs when they're bored, but a black hole that looked like an abyss.
Dink shot back over to Kas. "I think I found a hole over there!" she said as she pointed left over her shoulder.
Kas' eyes got a bit bigger as though this was a bit of a surprise, but he kept his cool stature. Walking over to the hole he took a quick glance and then examined it thoroughly.
Everyone was back at the fire talking about what was for after lunch snack or about swords until half of them were startled by Kas' sudden appearance from behind Ty. Though it was mid-day it still seemed as though he came out of the shadows.
"I have come to tell you of a dangerous discovery," Kas said in a low tone, "There is a hole near this campsite that you should not go into."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Usually holes were good, they had money or other helpful items in them. A murmur went around the fire as they talked to one another. Of course, leave it to Link to say something that would change everyone's minds.
"I think that you just want us to not." he stuttered, ".not to. GET THE REALLY COOL STUFF THAT'S IN THERE!" He ended up screaming in the end. He crossed his arms and huffed.
Kas looked at Link sternly and was going to say something when the rest of the group murmured to each other again, stood up and nodded. Timbre found himself standing up and nodding too. It was like it was automatic. Never before did anybody not listen to Kas, thus never again did they not listen.
Link led the group around like a group of chicks until they found the hole. He hesitated for a second and then jumped in without a second thought, which he did normally. After Link jumped in so did the others. Timbre turned around and looked at Kas who was just staring back at him. He felt so bad that he was disobeying Kas, but curiosity was driving him on. He jumped in after the group.
Link landed lightly on the floor after hovering for a few seconds in the air as he came down. Kat and Kafei landed next to him followed by Ty, Chiron, and Nick, then lastly Timbre.
They looked around to find that the room they were in was about as big as a two-story house without a basement. Scattered around the room were small pools of water surrounded by small bushes. There were a couple small treasure chests and rupees scattered around also.
"M'beh' Link wa'z'rite'." Nick said as he looked around the room wide eyed.
"Dude! Look at all those rupees!" exclaimed Chiron, "Let's gather 'em up!"
The group scattered around the room picking up rupees or gathering water for later on in the journey.
Timbre stood under the hole, in a spotlight of sunlight, staring at his friends. How could they do this? He thought, Why didn't they listen to Kas?.Why didn't I listen to Kas??
Outside, Kas stared at the hole in which his friends had gone. They hadn't listened to him.After all the times he'd helped them and gave them advice, they thought he was pulling the wool over their eyes.
"Well, if they don't want to listen, then I don't want to help." he said to the emptiness around the fire.

Kotake and Koume screamed in a loud boisterous anger. As one's hair got redder the other got bluer. Onox backed away slightly with the shards dropping out of his metallic armor plated hand.
"I.. I.. It.." He stammered as the witches moved slowly forward.
Veran pulled on the edge of her hat and bit her lip. Of course, she thought to herself, I am evil. but I didn't mean for it to end up like this.
Kotake flew ahead a bit faster than her sister and looked right into Onox's face. He stared at her icy cold eyes from behind his armor and wished he could just disappear. She glared at him for a moment watching her reflection stare back at her from his helmet.
Veran took a step backward but that step backward was just a little too far "back." She had stepped on a nearby Gibdo's wrapping and sent it flying forward. As it fell, it hit a torch which fell to the floor and rolled into a statue down the hall a ways. As the torch hit the statue, it came to life in what sounded like a grunt and a snore put together. The rumbling made the ground shake all down the hall and into the room.
The room where Onox was trembled and the witches looked over in anger. No one was at the door yet the ruckus became louder than before.
The Gibdo started to scream as it tried to get it's wrappings back on itself and the rumblings of the Armos jumping had set a flock of bat like Keese flying down the hall. Veran moved quickly down the hall, pulling her hat down over her ears as to shield her face. There was no way she was going to get the blame for this one.
Kotake flew out the door and looked around as the Keese flew at her head. She gave a screech and swatted at her head.
Koume stared at her sister for a moment and then looked at Onox who was now trying to piece together the shards in his hand.
"For all I know you ARE the one who did this," she said to him.
He looked up and his armor started to clink. He found himself shaking. Though he was evil he was in no situation to get toasted or frozen by witches who were more powerful than himself or Veran.
"But, I've changed my mood." she said looking back over to her sister who was now battling with icy Keese flying about her head, as they had just flown through her hair.
"Therefore, I will let you off with a warning." Koume said as she shook her hand and another orb appeared, " if you mess up again you will pay the penalty." She slowly flew toward her sister laughing and Onox sat down sighing.
"GET OFF ME YOU BLASTED VERMIN!" yelled Kotake as she swatted at the bats again.
"You have a bat stuck in your hair." Said Koume as she pulled a bat off the back of her sister's head.
"You have quite a sick sense of humor. Did you punish the golden one?"
"I dealt with him"
"Good, now. do you know why this has erupted?" Kotake asked grumply.
Looking around at the closest monster to her Koume saw the screaming Gibdo trying to re-wrap it's leg. "I suppose it's that one's fault." she said sighing.
Both the witches looked at it in disgust and it was hit at the same time from either side with fire and ice magic. The Gibdo screamed in pain an fell to the floor in a smoldering heap.

Nayru woke up the next morning to be greeted with Cash's bright eyes in her face. She jumped back with a yelp and Cash moved backwards.
"Cash thought you were dead, Cash thought." Cash said still staring at Nayru.
Nayru then remembered that she was listening to Cash talk about his ore chunks. "Nayru so sorry Cash," she said hurriedly.
Cash just stood there and then his eyes narrowed and curved. "It is alright Cash says to Cash. Nayru must be tired Cash says to Cash again."
Nayru sighed and poked at the large chair she was sitting in once again. "So are we going to help find the other Oracle?" she said to herself thinking aloud.
Cash looked at her for a second and thought hard trying to figure out her accent. "Cash says you want to find other Nayru? Cash says Cash can help."
Nayru looked at him again and smiled. She knew that he was talking about trying to find Din, the Oracle of Seasons. "Nayru say that Cash and Nayru go to upper land and find other Nayru."
"Cash think you mean up world. Cash say Nayru and Cash do that after eat!" He squinted his eyes up again as if he was smiling and walked away from the chair.
Nayru followed him into a small room with an equally small table in it. On the table sat two little bowl with a steaming hot liquid in it. Cash sat down and picked up a spoon. Then he motioned to Nayru to do the same. Nayru took up the spoon next to her bowl and looked inside. The liquid was red and brown. The spoon turned red hot as she dipped it into the bowl. Wincing, she took a bite and her mouth felt like it had caught on fire.
"Cash see you like Cash's favorite food! Cash call it Lava Soup!"
Against her will she took a few more bites and then had to ask for water. Though it was scarce in Subrosia, Cash got some for her out of kindness.

Again sorry for a short chapter it's just that I had started this chapter somewhere along two months ago and then had a "mental" situation and couldn't think of anything to write. Therefore I started a couple more stories (some that ARE up) but other than that Kat's been helping me get a move on. Thanks Kat! Anyways, sorry for the inconvenience. And I really hope you still read it. And I have a lot more ideas it's just that I don't remember what I wrote before. I think that's my problem. So umm.. Thanks and Happy Birthday to me! It was on the 24th of July!. Oh yeah. the Christmas story. I'll get to it. eventually. ^_^!
