****Chapter Three****
**The Spirit Temples**
Part 1-The Solution
We gathered in the King's throne room again. The King knew a way to get into the Temple. He also knew where the Hammer was, so that was helpful.
"I am worried through." I said. Everyone turned to me.
"Why is that Link?" Matt asked me.
"I don't think we should all go. I mean, I think Ganondorf has a better plan then just reviving that dragon." I answered. I started biting my finger nails. I did this when I was in deep thought, which wasn't very often.
"Well, don't leave us in the dark!" Nabby complained.
"I think, two of us should stay behind. I know one has to be Zelda. I don't want her walking around in her condition. But, I want someone else to stay." I said.
"Well, Maybe Sheik should stay?" Matt offered. "He would be one of the best to protect the Goron's if something happened to show up."
"Nah. I'll need him around the Valcano. But, you could stay Matt. You could handle almost anything thrown your way right?" I said, grinning at him.
"umm.. like what exactly?" He questioned.
"Oh nothing much! Just gaint, fire breathing Dragon-like things and Lizards that are 6 feet tall and carry a sword." I said, grinning and patting his back.
"I really hate you right about now." Matt said, giving me a fake glare.
"Well, I'm so happy for you two, but since we decided, don't you think we should be going?" Nabby said, crossing her arms over her chest, glaring at us.
"Oh Nabby! You know you don't want to leave me!" Matt said, grinning and putting his arm over Nabby's shoulders.
She nearly hit him. "Get.. your.. hand.. OFF!"
Matt backed off a bit. "Oh touchy, touchy!"
We both grinned at each other. I shook my head at him. he was never going to give up was he? Though, it was always amusing to watch him try! Then get turned down, usualy with some physical damage to Matt in the process.
"Well, young ones. If you're ready we should be going." Said the King. He quickly uncovered a gaint hole that was in the back of his throne room. "This is an entrance to the volcano."
"I get it. This is the vent it to, that's why you have a hole in your roof, to let the heat rise, right?" I questioned to the King.
"That's right." He answered, nodding at me.
I grinned. I was finally right for a huge change.
"We'll celbrate on your 'Brillance' later! We have to get this over and done with as quickly as possible."Nabby said, walking into the entrance, only to be pushed back by the sheer heat comming from it.
She setpped back with her eyes watering. "That's some serious heat."
"It is after all a valcano." Sheik said.
"Well, if it's too hot for us to even get near, how are we suppose to beat the temple?" I questioned.
"Hey! You did this once before. You should know how." Matt said.
"And that was HOW long ago? Give me a brake! The Valcano could have been half the size of what it is right now. So, how am I suppose to know everything about it?" I questioned to him.
"Good point." Matt said, rubbing his chin in thought.
"I guess we didn't think this one through." I said, sitting down in defeat. There just had to be some way to get in there without getting burned to the bone by heat.
'Think link think! You have to remember something about how to get in there!' I thought to myself. I closed my eyes and rubbed my temples, tring to come up with something.
**Flash back**
I was standing outside of the Goron Tunnel ways. Defeating the those... creatures.. was harder then I ever thought it would be! I was just a child, though all Kokiri were childern and would stay like this for their whole lives.
I gave a deep sigh as I stared at it. I looked down at my left arm. It was burned and covered with some type of Goron material. That King of those things had burned most of my skin off with his fire breath. Navi had been helping me to recover though, so it wasn't too bad. The King even gave me the Goron stone! So, I had two out of three.
'After being stomped on, thrown against pilars, nearly bruned to death and almost fallings to my death, how hard could the last place be? I hope I don't have to go on any 'quest' for the last one! I don't think I'll live through it!' I thought to myself.
Two places were bad enough. One, wasn't so bad. The Great Deku tree. I was inside of his hollow trunk, defeatings spider-like creatures that had crawled inside of him and carved out their home inside of him.
I winced at the thought. It was horrible what they did, though, they were only doing that to survive. I couldn't blame them like that.
Then, a thud was heard next to me. I turned to my side and found the Goron King. He had been helping me out the most out of them all. He was very kind to me and even called me his 'sworn Brother' whatever that meant. I knew it was specail, I just didn't know what it meant.
I also didn't like those Goron 'brother' hugs! They nearly crushed me to death with those hugs! I'd rather take on another quest then take a few Goron hugs! Even the pats on the back were painful. Their big strong hands hitting me on the back, even in a playful manner, it still hurt!
"Link. With your skill you beat them. Now my people have return to gathering rocks from this tunnel. For that.. I feel like I owe you a little something more. You did save my people after all. Here." He said, handing me a pouch looking thing.
It was tough and felt like soft tree bark. It was tied at the top with a string made form bomb leaves.
"What's this?" I questioned, inspecting the bag more.
"It's made from King Dodongo's skin." he started to explain.
"His SKIN?" I questioned, grossed out by this, almost dropping the bag.
"Link, inside are Bomb flower seeds. They don't have the full power of a bomb flower, but they do pack a lot of power by them selves. With this skin over them, you can safly carry the seeds wihtout having to worry about one of the bombs going off and killing you." he said grinning at his work. Then continued. "Dodongo's skin reflects heat, so the power of the bombs are absorbed inside the pouch and you won't even feel a bomb go off."
"His skin can do all that?" I asked, looking up at him.
"He needs that in order to control the amout of heat his fire breath makes. If he didn't he would burn himself with his own breath."
"Oh."
**End of Flash Back**
I looked up and snapped my fingers. "I got it!"
Everyone looked up at me. Everyone had been in deep thought before I shouted that out.
"You do? What do we do then?" Sheik asked.
"We have to go into the Dodongo's Cavern first." I said, getting up and going.
Everyone started to follow me, but I turne around. "No. Only King Darunia, or one of the Gorons and I will go. It won't take much to get what I'm after because it's dead. or should be dead."
"Should... be? Link! What if it's not?" Matt asked.
"Then.. say good-bye to me. And good luck on the Temple." I said, smiling then went out the room.
**************
The Caverns
**************
I stood by the caverns. The same spot as in my flash back. I stared at the entrance.
'It's time for me to go back to what I once did. I have to get that Dodongo skin.' I thought to myself. This was the only way to get into the Valcano and I was going to use this to it's fullest.
'If I fail, then my friends will die. So, there is no failing in this mission.' I thought to myself.
A goron walked up to me. "I'm sorry Mister Link sir. The King isn't allowed to go. We are all worried about his safty, so I offered to go instead."
"That's fine. Just lead me to the main entrance hall and I'll do the rest." I said, turning to him.
He was four inches taller then me and had the same built as the other gorons. Though, he looked a little more scaried then most Gorons do and his knees were almost hitting each other from fear.
'What's he so afraid of?' I questioned to myself. he didn't know what was in there did he?
"Ok Mister Link sir. I'll lead the way." he said, walking into the Caveran.
I shook my head and followed after him. "By the way. Just call me Link, ok?"
"Right sir- I mean Link." he said.
he seemed to know every bump in this whole place. By the look of his hands, he's been working hard most of his life. He still looked scared of what was in here. Nothing could be so scary that you wouldn't get used to it after a while.
Well, if you didn't count Ganondorf that is.
"Well, Link. The main hall is right ahead of us. Just don't take any turns and you should be alright. I don't want to go any further! That thing in the main hall is just plain scary!" he said, trembling at his own words.
"Why? What's in there?" I asked.
"A Dodongo's skull and bones! It's creepy!" He said.
"Oh. You can go back if it makes you feel better. I can handle it from here." I said.
"Thank you so much Link sir!" He said, running to get out of there.
I rolled my eyes. 'Some brave people they got here.' But, there was something wrong here. I could feel it in the pit of my stomach. There... was something amiss about here.
I pulled out my sword and sheild. This made me fell a lot safer now. Even though, I wasn't great at the sword, I could still beat something with it, right?
I walke dinto the main hall and saw what the Goron was so afriad of! It was a huge, 60 foot skull of a Dodongo! The spine and ribs made the outline for the hall. It's leg bones made the other support holds for different caverns. Now I felt my knees shake! This thing was huge!
'King Dodongo had NOTHING on this guy!' I thought to myself. I slowly walked foward. You could still see the rough skin of the skull still in place, though it was falling apart in most areas.
'It's too old to use. I'll have to go to King Dodongo's pit to get his skin.' I thought to myself. I walked foward with my sword and sheild in a more relaxed position.
'Nothing to be afriad of. Nothing will attack me. Ganondorf didn't put nothing in here. I'm fine. Nothing to worry about.' I tried to calm myself down. I was so afriad something was suddenly going to pop out and attack me! But, nothing so far.
I walked up to the huge skull. I knew there was a cave behind his skull. I remembered that much. I remembered most of my childhood adventures, just not the later ones. Everything else was a blur to me right now.
I put my sword and sheild away. Then jumped up and grabbed the beast's lower jaw. I pulled myself up and looked in. Sure enough there was a cave. I gulped as I pulled myself into his mouth.
'This is like a bad horror movie right here.' I thought to myself. I really didn't like the tingle that went down my spine as I pulled myself up. His sharp teeth gave my hands a feeling like I was holding onto a sharks mouth. When I pulled myself all the way up, I finally noticed the small cut I got on my palm. It was on my left hand.
'Great. Just great. I barely made it in here and I'm already bleeding.' I thought to myself.
I continued down into the cave.
******
Ten minutes later
******
I looked over the pit. Sure enough there was a dead body of King Dodongo. I made sure he wasn't twitching or anything. I slowly made my way to the very edge.
'Now... How am I going to get down there and get back up?' I asked myself. Then I felt a little tingle on the back of my neck. You know that creepy feeling you get like someone or something is watching you?
That's what I was feeling right now. I turned around only in time to see a little Dodongo baby ram right into my chest. I fell backwards with the baby Dodongo still clinging to my chest.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed as I fell into the pit. I landed on a thick bed of ash. I sat up and looked around. The baby dodongo was no where to be found. I got up and brushed the ashs off of my clothes.
'Now, that's one way to get down here.' I thought to myself. My butt was really sore though.
I looked around the pit. Part of the gaint Dodongo was sticking up out of cooled lava. I slowly made my way over to the body and reached out my hand to touch the flaky skin of the gaint beast. I reach out and touched it.
It felt like leather, strangely enough. I pulled out my sword and started to cut away at the skin.
'This is the most nastest thing I have EVER had to do!' i thought to myself and grimace. This was the first and last time I'm EVER going to cut the skin off of something!
The skin itself didn't have an oder, but the body DID! It smelled of burnt lizard. And if you haven't smelled burnt lizard before, trust me it really stunk!
Once my job was done, I folded the skin and set it into my sheild. The hand plates on the inside would hold the skin well enough until I got out of here. I walked over to the ledge and looked up. How was I going to get all the way up there?
I looked down at my tools. I had the hook-shot with me. So, I pulled that out and prepared to fire when I heard something move. I blinked and slowly turned around.
The Baby Dodongo had come out of hiding and looked like it wanted to eat me.
"Hey there little fella. I'm took big for you to eat." I said to it.
It backed away a little, before making a screaching sound. I covered my ears as it screached a horrible, high pitched cry.
Once it stopped, it stared at me with unblinking eyes. I uncovered my ears.
'Now.. what was that all about?' I thought to myself. Then, I heard it. It sounded like a stampede of something.
I looked up at the pit's edge and saw tons of unblinking eyes staring down at me.
"Uh oh..." I said as they all jumped down into the pit.
**************
an hour later and in the King's throne room
*************
"What do you think it taking him so long?" Navi asked in her worried tone.
"I don't know." Matt answered.
"I wonder what he is after in the Caverns." The King wondered as he sat down in his throne, placing his hand in his chin.
"I wish he would let us in on what he is thinking every once in a while." Nabby complained sitting down next to Zelda.
"Why are you all so worried? He is suppose to be the legendary hero. I believe he knows what he is doing. I'm sure nothing is a cave could kill him!" Zelda pointed out.
"Zelda, the Hero of Time and him are completely different people. Though, they have the same soul, they are different." Sheik said, explaining it a bit more.
"Same soul? I thought they WERE the same people." Matt said.
"No. They are different. They can think the same things sometimes and have the same strengths, but they are different." Sheik said. Everyone still lokked confused. Sheik sighed before continuing. "Think of Twins. They are basically the same, but have different personalities because of different livies and ways to take things. Do you get it now?"
"Oh. I get it." Matt said.
"So Do I, but how could this Link be having flash backs that the only the other Link knew about?" Nabby questioned.
"That, I have no idea about. It seems the quest to save Hyrule was inbeded into the very soul of Link, since his whole life was spent saving it. Like a warrior would have if he was defending his country." Sheik said.
"Oh." Everyone said.
"I still think this Link can handle himself." Zelda said.
"I hope you're right." Sheik said.
Just then the scrapping of a sword on the ground, being dragged was heard. As well as what water filled shoes sound like while someone is walking.
I slowly trugged into the room and fell to the ground.
"LINK!" Just about everyone shouted.
I started taking deep breaths. My legs were killing me! Battling a few hunderd baby Dodongo's was a hard thing to do!
i didn't notice I looked like a half eaten meal. I have bite marks almost everywhere on my body, but none of them managed to, umm lack of betters words, take a bite out of me.
"What happened?" Nabby asked me.
"Lots and lots of Baby Dodongo's. I hate babies." I said, tring to catch my breath. It was hard getting out of that pit! I finished all those little creatures off though.
'I bet my swords manship just went up a couple of feet though.' I thought to myself.
"Baby whats?" Matt questioned.
Navi answered though. "They are little dragon like creatures that resemble tabpools really. Only a head and a tail is really what they are made up of. They snap and eat almost anything. They are about one foot tall. They can borrow under ground to hide from pray, or call out in a screaching voice for others to back them up."
"Oh." Everyone answered.
"Link almost got beat by babies!" Matt cheered.
"Oh shut up Matt!" I said in my kidding voice.
Most of them laughed at me.
"Hey, then maybe I won't show you why I did this then." I said, sitting up.
"Aww! I was just playing. So, why did you go through all that?" He questioned.
I grinned. I reach my arms behind me and grabbed onto the Dodongo skin and pulled it out to show them.
"This, is how we are getting into the Valcano." I said, holding it up with pride.

I looked up at the pit's edge and saw tons of unblinking eyes staring down at me.
"Uh oh..." I said as they all jumped down into the pit.
**************
an hour later and in the King's throne room
*************
"What do you think it taking him so long?" Navi asked in her worried tone.
"I don't know." Matt answered.
"I wonder what he is after in the Caverns." The King wondered as he sat down in his throne, placing his hand in his chin.
"I wish he would let us in on what he is thinking every once in a while." Nabby complained sitting down next to Zelda.
"Why are you all so worried? He is suppose to be the legendary hero. I believe he knows what he is doing. I'm sure nothing is a cave could kill him!" Zelda pointed out.
"Zelda, the Hero of Time and him are completely different people. Though, they have the same soul, they are different." Sheik said, explaining it a bit more.
"Same soul? I thought they WERE the same people." Matt said.
"No. They are different. They can think the same things sometimes and have the same strengths, but they are different." Sheik said. Everyone still lokked confused. Sheik sighed before continuing. "Think of Twins. They are basically the same, but have different personalities because of different livies and ways to take things. Do you get it now?"
"Oh. I get it." Matt said.
"So Do I, but how could this Link be having flash backs that the only the other Link knew about?" Nabby questioned.
"That, I have no idea about. It seems the quest to save Hyrule was inbeded into the very soul of Link, since his whole life was spent saving it. Like a warrior would have if he was defending his country." Sheik said.
"Oh." Everyone said.
"I still think this Link can handle himself." Zelda said.
"I hope you're right." Sheik said.
Just then the scrapping of a sword on the ground, being dragged was heard. As well as what water filled shoes sound like while someone is walking.
I slowly trugged into the room and fell to the ground.
"LINK!" Just about everyone shouted.
I started taking deep breaths. My legs were killing me! Battling a few hunderd baby Dodongo's was a hard thing to do!
i didn't notice I looked like a half eaten meal. I have bite marks almost everywhere on my body, but none of them managed to, umm lack of betters words, take a bite out of me.
"What happened?" Nabby asked me.
"Lots and lots of Baby Dodongo's. I hate babies." I said, tring to catch my breath. It was hard getting out of that pit! I finished all those little creatures off though.
'I bet my swords manship just went up a couple of feet though.' I thought to myself.
"Baby whats?" Matt questioned.
Navi answered though. "They are little dragon like creatures that resemble tabpools really. Only a head and a tail is really what they are made up of. They snap and eat almost anything. They are about one foot tall. They can borrow under ground to hide from pray, or call out in a screaching voice for others to back them up."
"Oh." Everyone answered.
"Link almost got beat by babies!" Matt cheered.
"Oh shut up Matt!" I said in my kidding voice.
Most of them laughed at me.
"Hey, then maybe I won't show you why I did this then." I said, sitting up.
"Aww! I was just playing. So, why did you go through all that?" He questioned.
I grinned. I reach my arms behind me and grabbed onto the Dodongo skin and pulled it out to show them.
"This, is how we are getting into the Valcano." I said, holding it up with pride.
