Dragon Roost Spring
Link went and collected the 15 rupees that the chieftain owed him, and then headed to the cavern to help Medli and get 30 more rupees.
The spring was dried up, and extremely windy. When he came in, he was sort of standing on a small cliff. Beneath that there was a small pool of water with a huge boulder in the middle. Next to him were some dried bomb flowers, and near the small pond stood Medli.
Link jumped off the ledge.
"OUCH!" he said, landing on his ass.
"There was a ladder you know," said Medli.
"Uh...I knew that!"
"I need to get up there," Medli said, pointing to another ledge at the other end of the cavern, "But I can't do it alone. I need you to pick me up and throw me, so I can get the wind under my wings. Got it?"
"Yeah. But when do I get my 30 rupees?"
Medli hastily handed the money to him, "There you go."
"Good. Now let's get this over with," Link replied.
He picked Medli up, and carried her over to a small, raised piece of land nearby.
"Ugh!" he grunted, throwing her as hard as he could.
"AH! OUCH!" Medli screamed as she hit the wall and fell to the ground.
Link walked over to her.
"It wasn't my fault that happened!"
Medli stumbled a bit, "Eh, so dizzy!"
"HEY! I WAS TALKING TO YOU!"
The Rito girl shook her head, "I know it wasn't your fault, so chill! The wind isn't going in the right direction."
"Well that sucks. I still get to keep the money, right?"
"You have the Wind Waker! You can change the wind's direction!"
"Oh yeah, that's right. But it'll cost extra for me to play it!"
"Don't you care about my tribe? Our way of life is threatened!"
"Oh, I do care. I care about your tribe's dough!"
"Fine, will you do it for 5 rupees?"
"Ten."
"Alright," Medli said with a sigh, handing Link the money.
Link excepted it with a grin. In about an hour, he had earned 55 rupees, and was pretty damn proud.
He then strained to remember the song he had learned, "Oh...uh...hmmm... That's right!"
Link successfully played the song, and changed the wind's direction.
"Ok, let's try again," Medli said.
Link picked her up again, stood on the higher bit of land, and threw Medli as hard as he could for the second time.
Medli extended her wings and flew to the other ledge with much success.
"I DID IT!" Medli yipped gleefully.
"Yep."
"Don't worry about me!"
"Who's worried?" Link said in a bored tone.
"Remember-DON'T TELL ANYONE! Got it?"
"Got it."
Medli then started to walk away.
"Oh! I almost forgot! Here!" Medli said, and threw an empty bottle down to Link, who caught it.
"What am I supposed to do with this?" replied a disappointed Link.
"I don't know. It's all I have to give you besides money," Medli said with a shrug, then walked away.
Link glared, "Stupid bottle."
He sat and thought. Medli was obviously pretty weak, and would need a lot of help. If he gave her the help she needed, then she could pay him. And there was nothing left to do back at the tribe's building...
Link decided that there was one thing to do-follow Medli.
"But how?" he asked himself and sighed...
The ladder leading up to the second ledge was broken... Link wasn't tall enough to reach the part that remained standing.
He looked at the bottle, and thought of the dried bomb flowers near the spring's entrance, and the boulder that seemed to be plugging the spring... He suddenly got an idea! Using the bottle, he scooped up some of the spring's remaining water and carried it up near the entrance. He poured the water on the bomb flowers, which quickly flourished into what they should be.
"Yes!"
Link picked up a bomb flower, baring in mind not to hold it too long this time, and launched it at the boulder, which appeared to be plugging the spring. The boulder exploded, and the spring quickly flourished. The water was deep enough to help him reach the other ladder. All he had to do was swim across!
He quickly jumped into the water and made the swim to the other side. Link climbed up the ladder.
"Ha ha, I got it! I'm too good to be true!" Link cheered, taking his hat off and running a hand through his hair.
He turned around.
"Oh shit..." He moaned and sank to his knees.
Before him stood a lava pit. Inside the lava were two statues against the walls, each one holding a pot. They were positioned on the sides of the walls, both of them facing inward.
"Now how am I gonna get across THIS?" Link asked himself.
It seemed impossible to get across. Link cussed quietly, not sure of what to do next.
He looked at a small group of bomb flowers next to him, and out of sheer anger, he picked one up and through it at the statue nearest him.
"GR!"
It landed in the pot that the statue held, and exploded.
Surprisingly, the statue fell forward from the explosion, making a platform. Maybe this wasn't so impossible after all!
Maybe if he grabbed another bomb flower, jumped on the newly made platform, and then put the bomb in the next pot, he could get across. Link prepared to execute his plan.
He picked up the bomb flower, and jumped on the platform, but lost his balance, and fell into the lava.
"ACK!" Link yelped, jumping high into the air as he burned his ass.
The bomb flower, meanwhile, miraculously sailed into the pot, and the statue fell, making a second platform just as Link had intended to do.
"Oh..." Link moaned, waking up a few minutes later on the cold ground.
He swore loudly as he slowly climbed to his feet. His ass burned, and he figured it would be hard to sit down for a long time. His gaze fell upon the second platform he had made.
"I rock hard dude!" He said, filled with foolish pride.
He walked across the platforms to the other side, and walked up some stairs. A doorway stood before him, and Link hesitated.
Do I dare go onward? He thought.
"Oh, what the heck."
Link walked into the doorway
