When they put them on they felt a surge of power. "Now go clear out that cavern!" Link and Naomi left the room of Big Brother. But on their way to the cavern they must have gotten lost because they found themselves at a dead end. Naomi found a small patch of the bomb flowers and decided to see if the power bracelet really worked as well as Darunia said they did. So she bent over and picked a bomb flower.
"Wow that was easy! Were they even all that hard to pull up in the first place? We didn't even try did we?" after she had picked it up she realized that the fuse on the bomb flower automatically lights, so she wiped it over the row of boulders blocking the way so that they wouldn't get hit with the shrapnel of boulders. They began to walk away when they heard the bomb go off, and saw that the blast set a chain reaction with the other bomb flowers. This totally blew the other boulders away. After the massive explosion they noticed that there was a passage way where the boulders had once been. They both moved in a little closer to see where it led but they couldn't see anything but smoke and darkness. They moved in just a little closer and could hear a lovely melody.
"Isn't that the music from the lost woods?" asked Link. He knew that song well, he was always listening to Naomi and Saria play it up in the Sacred Meadow. "Uh-huh" nodded Naomi "Looks like we can get back home from here." she added brightly. Even though the whole idea of going home and seeing all their friends was tempting they decided that the Gorons needed them more. So they stayed in the city and finally found their way to the outside.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They made their way back outside and Naomi just happened to notice a Goron standing all alone near a single bomb flower. They walked over to talk with him because Naomi wanted as much information on the Dodongo's cavern as she could get. As Naomi was asking questions Link was wondering around looking at all there was to see. Naomi could see Link just out of the corner of her eye doing something weird. She tried hard to keep her thoughts on what the Goron was trying to tell her but Link was starting to distract her. She heard him make a strange noise kind of like a muffled "Oh Crap!" and she saw a small round object go flying over the edge.
She politely stopped the goron and was looking at Link peering over the edge. She looked at the goron and he looked at her and they both looked at Link who was still looking over the edge. He turned his head and gave them a 'I-didn't-do-anything' smile. Both The Goron and Naomi went over to see just what was so interesting. Naomi squinted, trying to see what Link had been looking at, and finally she noticed the bomb flower the goron had been so patiently guarding lying next to the large boulder blocking the entrance to the cavern. Both Link and Naomi looked at each other and then at the goron who was still searching for what Link had thorn over the edge when suddenly he saw it. He slowly turned his head towards Link with a really ticked off look on his face.
He didn't even get one step in before Link and Naomi took off down the path, quick like bunnies they ran before they got to the entrance to the cavern. There it was again, that weird noise that sounded like a muffled "Oh Crap!" coming from Link, and then Naomi remembered the bomb flower. It lay just three feet from them. They took off down the path until they heard a big BOOM! They turned around and saw that the boulder was completely gone, they turned around again just in time to see the goron running down the path after them, so without hesitation they ran into the cavern hoping the goron wouldn't follow.
{Note to reader: Most of the temples within this story and within the game, if you are familiar with it, are basically the same. You've got your puzzles and your run-of-the-mill enemies blah, blah, blah. So to save some trees, and keep my computer from crashing, I've decided to skip the temples. If anything occurs within a temple that might be considered important to the story I will include it. Sorry for the interruption.}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Boss: King Dodongo They walked up to the boss door. It was huge and decorated in elaborate little carvings. All around the border of the door were carvings of a huge dodongo chasing Gorons, and in some of the carvings the dodongo had caught the goron and was eating it. In the middle of this door was some kind of warning, but they couldn't quite make it out. For one it was all scratched up, and an other it was written in Goron. Now, Naomi knew a little Goron, but all she could get out of the message was "turn back" . "Well, lets get this over with." said Naomi.
They placed the boss key in the key hole and turned the key. It was surprisingly easy considering how rusty the key hole was. They opened the door with a loud 'Creeeeek' which drove some keese from their hiding places in the corners of the room. { Keese are bats. Evil bats!} They ran into the room swords drawn, but there was nothing there. Just a small chest in the middle of the room. "Should we open it? Do you think it's a trap?" asked Link. Naomi went to open it but Link stopped her. " Let me open it, just in case it is a trap." and before Naomi could say anything to stop him he had opened it. He turned away quickly, his eyes squeezed shut ready for what ever would come, but nothing happened.
He looked at Naomi who was no longer where he last remembered and saw that she was bent over the chest taking out what ever was in it. "It was just some bombs. Here, you take five and I'll take five and put them in your bomb bag." { They had acquired this in the cavern. } "Well, where the heck is the boss? Shouldn't he be in here?" said Link as he looked around the room waving his sword around. "I wanna get this over with!" "Link, look at the floor! We could easily blast it away with a bomb, I bet the boss is beneath us!"
"Well, here goes." He placed a bomb in the middle of the floor and they stepped back. "Oh crap!" She slapped her forehead and kept her hand placed over her eyes. "Look, the entire floor is just like the floor we placed the bomb on, when it bows the whole thing goes down! I hope the drop isn't to." but she didn't get to finish because just then the bomb blew and the whole floor gave out. They fell fast and hard.
"OW! Hey, Naomi, are you alright?" he looked over at her and saw her brushing the dust off her behind. Then he slowly looked about the room around him. He looked up and saw a small hole. '"Boy, we sure fell a long way"" he thought.
In the middle of the room he saw a large pool of lava. It was steaming hot in the boss room and the air smelled of sulfur. Suddenly they felt a rumbling and could hear something rolling in their direction. " Here it comes." said Naomi swords at hand. The rumbling got louder and louder until a large ball of something came tumbling down on top of them. They both jumped out of the way just in time to get past the ball. It rolled around the room a few times and unrolled to reveal the King Dodongo. Their eyes slowly moved up, taking in the bulk of the beast, until finally they rested upon the great head of this monster.
As Naomi gazed in awe of the beast she heard the clangor of Link's sword hitting the ground. She looked at his face, his mouth was wide open and as she watched him his shield was slowly slipping off his arm. They heard the great cry of this dodongo and knew the fight was on. " Put away your shield, I don't think they will be of much use here. Use your bombs, I'm sure he's just like the smaller ones!" yelled Naomi she sprang into action. At hearing Naomi's words Link snapped out of his shock and readied himself for battle. The dodongo king jumped into the air and as he hit the ground he curled back into a ball. He was rolling around the room once again and all Link and Naomi could do was wait until he stopped, oh, and try not to get hit by his bulk. They had to dodge the beast without falling into the lava pool in the middle of the room, but it was fairly simple, he was pretty slow.
"We can't hit it if it doesn't stand still!" yelled Link to Naomi. But then the dodongo ran straight into and hit the wall of the cavern. He uncurled himself and turned towards Link taking in a huge breath as he went. "He starting a fire ball! Just like the little ones! Watch out Link!" Link grabbed a bomb and with all his might he heaved it at the beast and it landed right in the dodongo's mouth. The dodongo swallowed it and the bomb exploded inside. The great dodongo fell to the ground and Link rushed in and started hacking at the dodongo's head. King dodongo roared in pain and rolled into a ball once more. The battle went on like this for some time, Link and Naomi taking turns at attacking the dodongo until finally it fell. The last death blow was dealt by Link. The King Dodongo made his last, defieted shriek and rolled uncontrollably around the room until finally he came to rest in the pool of lava which seemed to swallow up the dodongo.
The pool of lava suddenly cooled over and where the dodongo last lay was two more heart containers. A few feet from the heart containers was that same beam of light that they saw in the Great Deku Tree, only this was more of a red than green. They were both very thankful to get through this together, safe and sound. They collected their hearts and stepped into the light.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They were brought just outside of the cavern entrance. They stood there for a time, proud of themselves at accomplishing so much. They have already helped so many people and they couldn't wait to see what was in store for them next. They were just about to go get the goron ruby when Darunia came rolling down the hill to them. He landed right next to them and popped up with such excitement that it had startled them.
" Yahoo! You did it kids, um, I mean young adults. You proved yourself to be tuff, and now what ever you want I will give to you. But I bet I can guess what you want. You want the spiritual stone of fire. Well here you go. You know, after all this, we're gonna have to make you two a part of this village. You are now Big Brother Link." he said to Link elbowing him on the arm, which nearly knocked him on the ground. " And Naomi," he paused when he came to Naomi. " you can be our first sister. Sister Naomi!" He then reached down and gave Naomi a very kind and brotherly hug that seemed much too gentle for the gruff looking Goron.
"First sister?" asked Naomi as he pulled away from her. "Yes, we gorons are born from the very rock of this mighty volcano, this mountain is our only mother. So that makes you our first sister." "Oh." " Now come here you two, and let's have a big goron hug!" Link and Naomi started to back up very slowly. They were planning to make a run for it when suddenly they heard a thud behind them. They didn't need to turn around to know it was another Goron with his arms outstretched for them.
" On three we run screaming down the path back to the village." wispered Link, his back to Naomi's. He felt her hair brush aginst his face as she nodded her reply. " Ready, ..THREE!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Spiritual Stone of Water
" Where do we go next?" asked Link after he caught his breath. They had been hiding out in the windmill for some time just in case the Gorons had decided to follow them. " Since when do Gorons hug?" he asked looking at Naomi who was sprawled out on the ground still breathing heavy. "I guess, when you become their brother. Oh GEZZ, you would think I don't do anything but sit around all day the way I'm breathing!"
"Don't blame yourself, those Gorons are fast little buggers. Especially when they curl up and roll after you!" said Link. " Well, there is three of them, hmm, well we have forest and fire, what could we be missing?" said Naomi as she lay on the floor. " Hmm, Oh DUH! Water! Gezz, what was I thinking?!" " Well, which way? You're the brains of the operation. You seem to know so much about outside of the forest and you've never left it before!"
" That's because I spent a lot of time with the Deku Tree and he taught me all kinds of things about the outside world. We're going to the Zora falls. That makes the most sense. The Kokiri people held the forest emerald, the Gorons held the Goron ruby, so you would think that the Zoras, being water people and all, would hold the water stone, right?" "Well, that does make sense." said Link scratching his head.
