1The green...Saya? Navi flicked her wings towards the girl. You made a joke about eating her?

I said it was good that the green Wolfos tasted so bad, or I might have eaten her. Bad! I was hungry...The Wolfos put her tail between her legs and stared off to the side.

Did you even want to eat the 'green Wolfos?' Or were you just saying it?

Just saying...bad Thought, bad Kaala! But it felt so wrong, so bad...Bad Kaala!

It's all right, Kaala. If you didn't mean it, you shouldn't feel bad about it.

You're sure?

Positive. Now, stop acting this way! You're scaring Say-...the green Wolfos. She's worried about you. Be good and loyal to her. She may need your help in some places, and it won't be any good to her if you keep moping and punishing yourself.

Okay, Dandi. I know now. Bad Thought, good Kaala. Tail-wiggle. Ear-perk.

Well? Saya asked as Navi hovered by her face.

She said she tried to make a joke out of eating you. I told her it was fine as long as she didn't mean it...green Wolfos.

What?

That's what she calls you: the green Wolfos. Funny isn't it? Don't ask why, though.

I think I know, anyway. Thanks, Navi. You're the best.

I know!

Saya glared at the impudent fairy. She reached down and scratched Kaala behind the ears. You forgive me, don't you, green Wolfos? I think that's a yes! Tail-wiggle.

Saya had many opportunities to practice her Dodongo fighting. She even had Kaala search them out. Apparently, news traveled quickly in the Caverns. One night, just as she was curling up to sleep, Saya watched as two Dodongos spotted her and ran as fast as their bulky bodies could carry them.

Rescuing Gorons was that much easier when their captors turned tail and ran when they saw you. Saya insisted on burying any Goron bones she found, saying a prayer to the three Goddesses when she had finished. Once, a spirit from one of the kaalas appeared, and gave Saya instructions on how to reach a new part of the caverns. That had been interesting.

Saya was in the midst of one last block-pushing puzzle. She growled as she struggled to push the stone chunk up to a dip before a high wall. The block, as Navi informed her, would fall into place, allowing Saya to scale the wall.

Kaala, however, being almost a foot taller than Saya now, had merely jumped up. There she sat, howling encouragement to her beloved green Wolfos below her. Finally, with a loud thud, the block slid into place, landing on a switch that opened the door. Saya hoisted herself up the wall. Kaala licked her face briefly before she dashed through the now-open door.

Saya gave chase, coming to a stop as she entered the room. There, in the center, was a gaping hole that led into blackness. Saya was able to stop herself as she reached the edge, but Navi, flying fast to catch up, collided with Saya's back.

The girl teetered at the edge of the abyss for an hour-long second before she fell over the side. She leaned forwards, going into a roll. However, her screams were cut short as she landed on something soft and rubbery. She was catapulted off to one side, listened as Kaala howled in her descent. The Wolfos bounced off the same surface, and as she did, two green lights burned in the darkness.

The voice of Navi in her ear: "Giant Regal Beast: Queen Dodongo..."
