As Link entered the room he felt heat surround him. Quickly, he took his shirt off and switched it with the Goron Tunic. As the fabric touched his skin a red light flashed across the shirt. Link examined the room with great attention to everything. It appeared to be a gigantic volcanic cavern. Before him was an island in the sea of lava. He leapt across the lava pit and onto the island. On the ground were several holes that led to the lava pit. "Ha Ha Ha." Link looked for the source of this laughter, but only heard it again "Ha Ha Ha." Link squinted his eyes with anger, he knew the voice "Well, kid, you beat my puppet earlier and I have to give you some credit for figuring out his weakness. But this time you'll have to defeat something older than I." Suddenly, geysers of lava appeared and a great foot with claws sharp as spears thudded on the ground. "Kid, meet the Goron's Bane, Volvagia!!" A huge head appeared then the rest of the beast. It was a dragon about thirty feet long and mainly composed of bones and flames. Volvagia roared and reared its great head back. Link realized what was about to happen and right as the dragon released its fiery torrent he leapt out of reach. Reaching back he unsheathed the Master Sword, but only the Master Sword. Yet again Volvagia reared its head back and threw it forward sending out a blast of heat. Link leapt to the left then rushed at the head of the flaming reptile. He jumped onto the back of the neck and buried his blade into the skin. The creature screeched and whipped around knocking Link off. Link recovered and saw that the blade was red hot from heat. Volvagia growled and rushed at Link, it seemed to not be phased by the wound. Link quickly sheathed the Master Sword and pulled the Megaton Hammer. He tried to hold it with one hand, but it was too heavy, so he held it with both hands. The dragon's eyes opened wide with fear, it recognized the weapon that had so many times sent it back to the fiery abyss from whence it came. Link smiled and hit the ground with great force, sending Volvagia into a dizzy fit. Its eyes rolled back and it groaned. Link quickly put the hammer away and pulled out both of his swords. Screaming he leapt and skewered the head of the fire dragon. It screeched in pain and in a matter of moments the flames were extinguished and only the skeleton remained. Panting from exhaustion, Link sheathed his swords.
Looking back at the door he saw Darunia smiling from ear to ear, or at least what appeared to be ears. The Goron king leapt from the place he was standing and landed just a few inches from where Link was standing. Link smiled to himself, he was surprised at how agile something so….large could be. Darunia laughed a loud hearty laugh and pounded his great hand on Link's shoulder sending shockwaves of pain through his body. "Well, Brother, it looks like you've defeated Volvagia and I thank you. Here, I want you to have this." He held his hand out and Link expected something that might help him with his quest, but no. In Darunia's hand was a rock, a stinking rock. "This is a piece of Death Mountain, I have blessed it with Goron words." Link grabbed the rock and studied it, he saw a rune on the bottom of it "What is this?" He asked pointing to the mark. "That is the Goron's rune that means 'Hero and Friend'." The Goron smiled again and Link smiled too. A bright red light filled Link's vision and as he was transported outside of the door he heard the words "Brother, slowly Ganon is losing power and when you reach him you will easily beat him. I and the other Sages will help you. Hurry!"
