****Chapter Three****

**The Spirit Temples**

Part 3-The Fire Temple (part one)

"You put it on."

"No.. YOU put it on first!"

"NO YOU put it on!"

"No you!"

"YOU!"

"YOU!"

Sheik and I growled at each other. Zelda had finished making the Dodongo tunics for us. She was rather good at it too! It was a perfect fit! Well, it atleast looked like it was a perfect fit. Sheik and I were fighting over who would be the first on the put on the skin.

"Childern please!" Came Nabby's voice. She seemed to almost want to laugh at Sheik's and my behavoir.

"Alright! I'll put it on first. Just because I'm not a coward like Sheik." I said in a blutly arogent voice.

Sheik growled at me again, then with a glare at me, put the tunic on. I smirked at my small victory. I slipped on the tunic after he did. I just wanted to see if I could get him in it first.

It was rough, but at the same time silky on the inside of it. We have to pull off our shirts in order to get it on. The inside of the skin was smooth, but a little ichy. The outside was as tough as leather. Sheik, Nabby and I also had small face masks to wear with it to stop the volcanic ash from getting into our lungs.

The Gorons were nice. They made us tough boots out of the leathery skin from the Dodongo Skin. They just couldn't make tunics for some strange reason. I shook my head of my thoughts before approaching the enterance of the volcano. I sighed before turning back to Zelda and Matt.

"Hey Matt. If I don't come back, you can have my TV." I said with a wink to him.

"Cool! Can I get the portable computer too?" He asked with fake happiness.

"Sure. But don't you dare touch my anime collection!" I said with a glare.

"Don't worry.. I wouldn't dare..." He said, looking away with a small smile.

"But in all seriousness.. look after Zelda." I said with a more stern look on my face.

"Don't worry pal. I will." He said with a smile.

"Good." I said back, nodding my head in his direction before turning to Zelda. "If Matt drops something on the ground near your feet... run."

Matt gave me a small smack on the back for that one with a slight blush on his face. I laughed at his embrassment.

"Same goes for Link." He said to Nabby. "He's probably going to fall off a clift on purpose!"

We laughed to each other, before I waved good bye to him. I walked into the enterance. Sheik was saying his good byes to Zelda and Nabby was waiting for us inside. I walked up to her.

"Didn't you want to say good bye to matt?" I asked her.

"Why? I don't say good bye to someone til I know I'm truely leaving." She said, turning her back to me. I smiled at her. Sometimes she said some smart things. I shook my head. Now I was sounding like an old person.

I rolled my eyes at myself before continuing. Navi was buzzing above my head, staying so quiet I forgot she was there! She sat down on my shoulder. I looked over at her.

"Aren't you hot?" I asked her.

"No. Well, a little. Natural elements can't harm Fairies." She said with a small shrug. I could barely make it out due to the bright light of her wings.

Sheik and Nabby caught up to us as we rounded the Volcano. The sheer heat of the lava below was enough to melt metal! We really had to watch were we stepped. One false move and we would fall to our deathes! I looked down into the pit below from the ledge. Boiling hot lava was in the pit. A few small bubbles from it, popping. The lava was licking at the edge. You could see the heat! It looked like the heat that came off of car hoods during summer. A few hot springs were inside of there as well. Steam raising from them. If you put your hand directly over it, I wouldn't be surprised if your skin melted off!

I turned to my two human compainons. "We have to go around the lava pit to get to the temple base." I said.

They nodded to me. Then, we heard a booming voice! I looked behind them and saw the King himself running after us. He looked very weird running at us like that. Sort of like a fat guy trying to catch a bus. I had to choke down a few chuckles. It was just so funny to watch!

When he caught up to us, he gave me a glare. "Why didn't you tell me you were going?"

"I didn't want you to get in trouble with us." I said with a shrug, though I felt like shrinking under his hot glare.

"Only the legendary hammer can defeat Volvagia! You don't even know where it is." He said, putting his hands on.. I think his hips.. not quite sure.

"... well.. it's in the temple... right?" I questioned.

"Yes.. but do you know where in the temple?" He asked, stressing the word 'where'.

".. no... not exactly." I answered, wanting to shrink away to nothing under his glare as well as the glare from my two 'friends'.

"Then how did you intend on finding it Link?" Sheik questioned me.

I scratched my cheek in thought. "Well, Navi should know this place pretty well.."

"Don't you dare put me in the middle of this link!" Navi said, yelling right by my ear. I covered it with my hand.

"Geesh! You yell too much." I said to her, while trying to get my hearing back. She sure was loud for such a little thing! I could hear a buzzing in my ear now.

'Great Link! Not even a minute in the Volcano and everyone is mad at you! I must be going for a record or something..' I thought to myself, stopping myself from rolling my eyes. I was so tempted too..

"Link. Let's just go." Nabby said. "I'm sweating to death already!"

"Good idea." I said, turning around and heading to the temple.. I think.

"Umm Link." Navi said.

"Yeah?" I asked back.

"Why did it suddenly get hotter in here?" She asked me.

"... uh oh..." I said. I looked over the edge. The Lava was raising! "We have to get to higher ground now!"

Everyone nodded. I quickly looked for anyway to get higher. Any kind of rocky surface we could climb. Then, i spotted it. It was a edge not too far up. "Everyone. Hold onto me!"

"Link.. we know you like to hug but I don't think this is the tim-" Nabby started.

"NO! Not that! Just hold onto me so we can get to the ledge!" I said. Sheik and Nabby held on. I looked at the King.

"I'll be fine. I'm a Goron. I can climb this no problem." He said, reaching up for the first rock. He scaled the side with ease. I stared at him wondering how he could do that when Nabby smacked me upside my head.

"Ouch!"

"LINK! DAMMIT! We don't have time for to day dream!" She yelled at me.

I nodded and grabbed my hook-shot. Put, it was hot to the touch. I squinted my eyes at the pain, but grabbed it anyways. I pointed it up at the ledge. There was a small tree embeded just above the ledge. So, I aimed for that. I pulled the trigger. The 'Ching' could be heard for the hook firing. I preyed it would hit it's target. The lava was only a couple of feet from the ledge we were standing on!

'Please! Please! Please!' I preyed in my mind as I watched the hook sail through the heated air.

"I have a bad feeling." Zelda said to Matt. Her and Matt were sitting in the king's chambers. The enterance to the Volcano was sealed due to the Lava.

"Don't worry. I'm sure they're alright. Sheik is too hard headed to die." Matt said with a smile.

"It's.. not about Sheik.. it's about Link. I have a feeling.. that something is going to happen to him." Zelda said, with slightly teary eyes to Matt.

"Oh.. don't cry!" Matt said, rushing to her side. He sat down next to her and put his arm over her shoulder. "It's alright. I'm sure he will be fine! This is Link were are talking about! The one who defeated Ganondorf! I don't think something like this would kill him."

"I guess you're right. Link is pretty strong." She said with a smile. She looked up and stared at Matt's eyes. His soft eyes looked back at her.

That's when the trouble began..

**********

'Breath in.. breath out..' I thought to myself. My heart was racing! 'At this rate I'm going to die of a heart attack!'

"That was a close one." Nabby said.

"Yeah.. too close." Sheik answered back. They both looked at me.

"Hey! I didn't cause this!" I said in my defence. I put my hook shot back. The palm of my hand burnt from the heat.

'Note to self. Don't use metal in a hot place. End note.'

I sighed before getting up from my sitting position. We had landed ontop of each other and tangled up. It took us a minute to get out of the pile. The King was just laughing at us.

"Well, let's going find the Temple so we can get out of here!" I said, walking around. It was going to take awhile to find the temple, but as long as it didn't have ghosts, wolfos or demented skulls flying around, I was fine with it! There was just something strange going on. The Temple was suppose to be close to where the enterance to the volcano was... but we had been walking for about ten minutes and still no Temple.

"Maybe it's below us?" Navi sugguested.

"Yeah.. or above us." Nabby offered.

"Then that would really stink." I answered back. If we had to go below... then we would be killed by Lava.. if we went any higher.. the ledges were steaper and more of a chance of us falling. The higher you went, the steaper the fall.

'It's not like we really have a choice.' I thought back to myself. If it was above or below, we would HAVE to go. Sometimes I really, REALLY hated my life!

'You can't make a person's life more difficult then mine can you girls?' I thought to the three Goddesses.

'Just once I would LOVE to sit at home and have nothing better to do then to clean my room. Could you girls consider trying being nice to me every once in awhile?'

"LOOK!" Navi shouted.

I looked down at her, then she flew off my shoulder. She circled around a cave. "This is the Temple's enterance! I'm sure of it!"

'Maybe you girls do listen to my small pleas..' I thought happily. Then the ledge below our feet cracked. It cracked like a spider's web around our feet. The rocks below us started to fall. 'Nevermind.. you girls just like playing around with me..'

"JUMP!" Sheik shouted to us.

"No duh!" I shouted back, jumping at the safe ledge. I landed part way on it. Nabby gripped onto it by her fingers, the slipped. She screamed as she started to fall. Sheik's hand caught her's a he jumped across. He was in mid jump when he caught her.

'Sweet! That's like the matrix or somethin' I thought to myself. Then when Sheik's other hand tryed to grip the ledge, it also slipped.

"Sheik! Grab onto my foot!" I shouter quickly. He did as I said and grabbed onto my foot. My chest and above were on the ledge. There was a steady rock that I was gripping onto to hold me. Sheik was holding onto my foot with one hand, while the other was holding onto Nabby.

"Guys! Where's the King?!" I questioned. We all looked around. He was no where to be found! I looked down at the Lava pit. It seemed to have had something heavy just fell into it..

My eyes started to water as the cold reality hit me. 'He fell!'

'Oh by the Three Goddesses of the world of Hyrule! How could you let that happen?!' I asked them as my mouth was dropped open. I stared at the Lava. He couldn't... no..

"NOOOOO!!!!!!!!" I screamed.
