They said their good-byes and headed back to Death Mountain. When they got to Kakariko village they gave the keeton mask to the guard. He was very pleased and gave them a little extra for all their trouble. "Thank you so much! My son is going to love it! I'm in your debt, truly I am!"
" Your very welcome!" said Naomi. "Aw, don't worry about it! It was nothing. Heh heh" said Link while he put his hands behind his head and grinned. They then started up the path to Death Mountain. The way up really wasn't all that bad, except for the occasional tecktite. {A tecktite is a weird spider thingy that jumps on top of you if you get within eye range.} On the way up they also met a Goron.{ The rock people of Death Mountain } He seemed very friendly but something was bothering him. He looked very hungry. Never-the-less he showed them the way to the Goron village, waved good-bye and returned to his post. "Why is he just sitting in front of that huge rock?" Naomi said to Link and he just shrugged his shoulders.
Where the Gorons lived wasn't really a village as the name suggests , it was more like a city! This place was huge! "Hey, look over there!" squeaked Navi. She was referring to a pedestal in the middle of the city hanging by thick woven ropes. "It looks like they put something really important there, maybe it's the spiritual stone!" she was shaking with excitement.
"Lets check it out!" said Link beckoning for Naomi to follow. Naomi looked over the side. She told Link "Just be careful, OK!?" " 'k" Link absent- mindedly walked his way to the ropes. This was nothing compared to the jump they made in the Great Deku Tree. But, he was still careful as he inched his way toward the pedestal. He didn't want to break anything on the fall down. Ouch! When he finally made it he was truly disappointed. The pedestal was empty.
"Did you get it?!?" Yelled Naomi from the side lines, standing on her tip- toes to help her to see a little better. Link was about to answer her when he heard this strange noise, he turned to find another Goron who had just uncurled and was standing up.
" Did you come here to find the shinny stone to? I was awfully hungry and I thought that no one would mind if I just took one little taste, but then Big Brother came and took it away and locked himself in his room. He was really angry! He said he would not come out until the messenger from Hyrule castle came."
" Where is 'Big Brother's' room?" "All the way down there." said the Goron pointing to the very bottom of the city. "Thanks!" Link ran, almost fell, and made it back to Naomi on the other side to tell her the good news. "Well c'mon Link, lets go get that spiritual stone! We ARE the messengers aren't we? The princess DID send us." She winked at Link and tore off towards the stairway. They made their way down the corridors of the great Goron city meeting interesting Gorons along the way, when they found themselves at the door of "Big Brother's" room.
Link knocked on the door but there was no answer. So he knocked harder, and harder, and harder until he could hear someone inside yell "I TOLD YOU YOURE NOT GETTING THIS STONE!!! SO BACK THE HELL OFF!!!"
"Geezz! He sure sounds grumpy!" said Link. He turned to Naomi and was about to suggest they try again later, but could see she was thinking hard about something and thought better of interrupting her. He didn't like to interrupt her thinking, she almost always came up with a good solution to the problem if she was left alone to think. So they stood there for awhile until. "Aha! I've got it! Remember when you told me that the Goron said 'Big Brother' would not come out until the messengers came? Well, we need to let him know that we're the messengers!" She then started to sing very sweetly Zelda's lullaby. Link got the idea and played along with his ocarina, complementing her voice in perfect harmony. Then suddenly the door began to open.
"Great idea Naomi!" *Ha* "Thanks Link!" They walked inside to find a very large gruff looking Goron standing in a nicely lit room. He looked very annoyed at their presence.
"Is this what my sworn brother, the king, thinks of me? Is this some kind of stupid joke? My people are starving and what dose he send, a couple of kids and a floating ball of light! Away with you! You're wasting my precious time. Our food problem is none of your concern, this is a Goron problem." He stood there looking at them but they wouldn't leave. ""Why on earth are they just staring at me? What do they want?"" "WHAT DO YOU WANT?!?"
Big Brother Darunia was fuming. " UH, Naomi, um I think we should leave!" Link grabbed her arm and started for the door but she would not budge. Then she started to sing, she sang so softly and sweetly Darunia just had to listen and when she got his attention she began to play the song of the forest, Saria's song, on her ocarina to make the sound stronger. Then the unexpected happened, Darunia began to dance. He danced and danced and danced until finally all of his anger and frustration was gone. "Whoa! What a hot beat! I have never heard such music! It's so, so, GREEN! And wouldn't you know it, I feel great, all of my anger is gone! Who are you kids?" " How the HELL did you know Naomi?" wispered a wide eyed Link into Naomi's ear. "That song always makes me happy, it was just a lucky guess. Everyone likes music."
"I am Naomi" she said with a curtsy, "and this is my dear friend Link. The king did not send us, but we are on an errand for the princess. Please, we need the spiritual stone of fire. It is of up-most importance." "Hold on a sec. You don't expect me to just give this to you, do you? This is a sacred treasure of the Goron race, I can't just give it to you. But I know what we can do, we're having some trouble in the cavern where our bomb flower harvest grows and where we get our food. If you could just go fix our little problem I will give you any thing you want, even this stone. That way everyone will be happy. Now, I have a gift for both of you.. Now where did I put those?..uugh, Derrick!!. Where is that boy, Derrick!" Just then a small, young Goron came running in. " Yes, Big Brother, what is it?" "Go and fetch me the box. You know, with the things." "Yes sir." He saluted Big Brother and then he ran out of the room into the city. A few minuets later he came running in with a lovely wooden box with strange carvings all over it. He handed it to Darunia, bowed to both Link and Naomi and left.
"Here we go. Now I'm not giving these to you for anything in return, there just a gift for getting me out of that mood. Now with these even little guys like you can pull up the bomb flowers we harvest." They had gotten the Goron power bracelets.
++++++++++++++++
What a nice little Goron, well actually, I named him after my little 'step brother'. He's not really my stepbrother, it just seems that way. Anyway, Derrick and his little brother, Jared, and his little sister, Lani, all have been helping me with my story. Well, they've been listing to it, telling me which parts they thought were stupid and such. I told them I would put them in my story as a member of their favorite tribe. Ain't I nice? :p
