CIL: well, I've gotten a few ideas for some makeovers but none of you seem to have taken me seriously. I do want your ideas, you know it doesn't have to be the way you picture them, give me a way you want them to look. And I have no responses for my at home writing, I'll leave the poll open till the end of the year but that's it. If I work at home I will have 300 more outcome and quality. I normally take this time to just respond to reviews and watch TV, if you want me to help you then say so.
AoA: wow, is that all you do?
CIL: yeah I am not one for an education
AoA: (looks through a dictionary for an insult that CIL won't know)
CIL: what are you doing?
AoA: nothing just write the story

Domina wakes up to find himself on the warp pad to the water temple. The waves of water sprinkling small drops onto his face. Ruto stands beside him. She wears a light blue dress, it shines like scales in the sun. her fathers old cape drags slightly behind her due to the size. She looks down at Domina and giggles.
"finally awake, look" she points out to the lake. Domina stands up and looks out to the place she points.
"doesn't look that bad" Domina says chuckling. Right after he said that a giant of a serpent jumped forth from the lake. Domina's face just froze with his mouth wide open. Ruto laughed and slapped him on the back.
"good luck"
"yeah, prepare a large funeral for me please" Domina had to try and make light of the situation. He shook of the fear and stepped toward the lake. He took a deep breathe and step on to the lake. The magic of that scale that Rata had given him worked. Domina stayed in place to count how long it lasted.
"3 seconds, man, I think I heard this one before" Domina walked back onto land and did his best to look for an opening.
"this is impossible that thing will eat me"
"wait for the sun to come up" a voice says from beside him. Domina jumps back and sets his hand on his blade. It's Impa, elderly though she may be, her fearless stance still stays with her. A cloak spread over her shoulder covering her right arm and a new black bracer on her left. Her hair is cut short, Domina almost didn't know who she was.
"so, you've lived this long grandma"
"shut it brat, and listen to me. That creature can see well for it is dawn. Wait for noon and it will be blind"
"how do you know this, not like you to learn much when you could die"
"common study kid" she rubs his head and messes up his hair. And disappears as he fixes it.
"sneaky wench. Ok, I'll wait for noon" Domina sits down and waits for high noon.
The hours pass and noon comes. The creature doesn't seem to look blinded by the light but he has now started to swim close to the surface. Domina took a deep breath and ran into the center of the lake. The three second float was up and Domina sunk into the water. He kept his eye on the serpent. It did react to the splash and headed his way. The serpent swam in an S pattern and slowly crept to his position. Domina almost wet himself when the monster came face to face with him. It looked right at him for a second and then swam off in another direction. Domina almost sighed in relief before he realized he needed the breath. He hit the bottom and saw a small hole in the bottom of the lake, he jumped in and slowly fell in the water.
He was getting deeper and deeper he was amazed that he could hold his breath this long. The deep blue water seemed warm. A bluish haze hindered his far sight so he stuck to watching close by. Several fish came up to him and watched him almost as if taunting him. Domina had finally lost his breath and choked, he tried to swim but he did not know how. He almost passed out when he felt his lungs filling with air again. He looked in front of him to see a women on his lips. It was a mix breed much like the rumored mermaids this was a half Zorian. A human like creature with small fin deformities to allow perfect swimming capabilities. Domina pushed himself back and looked in shock (for censorship her unique areas shall be covered with scale like skin, after all she is part Zorian) Domina shakes his head and sink down again. The women grabs him by his arms and swims him to a safer ledge where he could finally stand. Domina tried to explain that he needed air to the Zora, she nodded and swam off, Domina looked in shock and just sat down thinking she just ran off. Second later she came back with a Zora Scale Bracer. Domina put it on and felt nothing different. She then motioned him to breath. Domina, Felling like he had no choice did so. He breathed deep and he exhaled, he didn't drown and he could breathe.
"the necklace allows you to breathe and translate Zorian"
"thank you, um, who are you and if you don't mind my asking what are you?"
"I am Doria, and I am half Zorian. An old legend said that a Hylian had mated with a Zora long ago and force a mutation gene in the family. I am sister to Rata"
"what whoa? Ruto is the Zora that did it with a Hylian, not Link I hope"
"no, no. long ago, about a millennia ago. The gene went dormant for a long time and then I was born with it"
"well I thank you for the necklace"
"normally I am suppose to give that to the one I choose to marry" Domina froze as might of Link in the same manner. "don't worry I'll ask for it back when you are done here, you are the new hero aren't you? I heard he was scared of water. Is that true?"
"like I'd confess" Domina was able to maintain some of his attitude under the sea.
"come this way a treasure is at the bottom of this place" Doria swim swiftly to the bottom of the underwater cave. The blue haze was still able to cover if there was ever a bottom to the cave. Domina shrugged and jumps down letting himself sink.
It seemed like a full hour before he was able to reach the bottom. The pressure was getting to him and his movement was extremely hindered. Doria had been swimming around like a playful dolphin. Domina had just stepped forward as best he can and toward an entrance. Another hour passed before he was able to get to the entrance. Doria thought that Domina was strong to not become immobile by the crushing pressure.
"are you all right?"
"fine, is there any chance I may fine someplace that isn't filled with water?" Domina almost adapted an angry tone through his struggling voice.
"this is way I wanted you to come down here the treasure is through here is should help you move faster in the water"
"I hope it isn't like the necklace you gave me"
"no it's the dungeon's treasure is for the hero, you"
"great, everything is reserved for me"
"your rather unique for a hero" she gives Domina look he hasn't seen before as she approaches him. "I kinda like that, quickly now" she returns to her normal tone. "go inside and get the treasure"
"uh" Domina had no idea what she was trying but he just gave her a confused look and trudged on. Domina had made it in view of the chest. A large grin on his face came when he jumped for it. He was almost there…when the Serpent crashed through the roof and swallowed the chest and continued through the floor. Domina stood there mouth wide open. Doria swam up to him to comfort him but he slowly pushed her aside.
"beast or not that give him no right to steal my treasure" Domina's anger forced his aura to blacken the water around him. He jumped through the hole and surfaced onto the lake. He looked around to lake to find the beast circling the bottom. The floatation wore off and Domina sunk to the bottom of the lake. He ran up to the beast and jumped up on his horns atop the head. Just as Domina got a grip on the m the beast started to swim swiftly. Domina tried to pull his blade but the force of the water rushing by him is preventing it from being drawn.
"damn how am I gonna do this!" Domina thought.
"Hero!" Doria called out. "I'll help, just keep him busy" Doria swam down to the bottom of the cave and grabbed some old age large harpoons.
Domina had his hands full with the swimming snake. He found that by forcing his horns the one way it caused him to turn. Unknowingly causing him to run into land. Domina flow forward off of his head taking heavy damage. Domina groaned as he peeled himself off. He stood at the bottom again and waited for the creature to try and strike again. Doria on the other hand had set op a large spike trap on a wall of land. She whistled to get Domina's attention and pointed to the trap. Domina saw what she wanted him to do and he nodded. Doria went down again to get more harpoons.
Domina used most of his strength to leap up out of the water and get afloat again. Domina looked into the water and saw the creature swimming around. When his floating spell wore off he made sure to make a big splash to catch his attention. The creature quickly turned and swam at Domina. He opened his mouth to swallow him whole but Doria slam her tail on the top of his mouth forcing it shut and allowing Domina to grabble a horn. Domina used the first few second to hold on well the monster twisted and darted around to get him off. Then it went back to it's figure eight swimming pattern. Domina saw one of the spike traps set up and steered the monster to one. He jumped off at the last minute and forced the monster into the spikes. In reaction to the crash it quickly pulls out of the wall and screeches. It coils and whips around in pain then swims the lake open-mouthed hoping to get Domina. Domina sunk low to the ground and tried to stop his pulsing heart from beating so loudly. The creature then closed it's mouth and reopened it's eyes. The blood was slowly murking the water. Domina jumped up to grab it again but he was whipped but the thorny tail of the serpent. Domina was slammed into the wall and hurt bad. Domina had to restore his health but with what. He was done for with another hit. Domina looked around but all the fish had been scared off. Domina had no way to recover so he had to take it carefully from now on. Doria had set up another trap and Domina ran over to it. He jumped up onto the muddy slant above it and grabbed a harpoon. He throw it to gain the creatures attention and it worked. The mighty snake barreled toward him and opened it's mouth. Domina jumped up to avoid being eaten and the snake took damage to the inside of it's mouth. He screeched again as it twisted and rolled in the lake. This time he thrashed everywhere, from the surface to the bottom. Domina had to watch it this time. The snake came close to him and almost hit him. But it turned and went back to swimming. It's pattern was no more, it was up and down and figure eight, coils and more. Domina had no way of knowing what it was doing next. He went to the next trap that Doria had set and tried his tactic again. The serpent foolishly took the bait once more and drove toward him. But at the last moment to swam up ward and swung his tail at Domina. Domina almost didn't see it and dodged. The Serpent then came down from the surface and tried to swallow Domina again. Domina was clipped but not badly injured. He sunk to the bottom of the lake and looked at it.
"he's gotten smart I need to think of something" after he noted this he saw Doria come up from the hole with more harpoons. He then got an idea.
"Doria quickly I need you to do something" he whispered his plan into her ear and she nodded she then retreated back down the hole.
"I'm gonna need to recover for this to work though" he jumped up out of the water and went bug hunting again. Cutting bushes and breaking rocks. He was lucky and caught a few bugs and a raven. He was back to full heath and jumped back down the lake. He toyed with the snake a bit to learn a bit of swimming tactics, his planned called for them. After a while Doria came up from the hole and gave Domina the thumbs up. Domina made note and taunted the snake. It chased him through the lake. Domina quickly swam into the hole to the cave and the snake burst through. Domina was kicking his feet as fast as he could to keep a head of the snake. The bottom of the cave was in sight. And millions of harpoons were pointed up at Domina. Domina swam harder now no evident ways he could possibly escape unharmed. The snake saw that it's munch was getting away so it too went into full speed. Domina swam closer and closer the snake able to lick the leather sheets he uses as makeshift boots. Domina came within death when a harpoon almost pierced his eye. Doria had tackled him out of the way at that moment and caused the serpent to impale himself on the spears. the serpent lay still on the ground. Doria in Domina's arms breathing heavily.
"your scared! I was almost eaten, I should be heaving for breath"
"it's ok, I am just happy your alive"
Domina takes off the bracer and hands it to Doria. Doria in turn puts it back on his wrist. "keep it you've earned it hero"
"I am not marring you, sorry but I have a promise I have to keep"
"it's not for that. Look" she points to the gem on it.
"the Zora Sapphire" Domina smacks himself on the head and looks at Doria. "thanks for the help, I owe you one" Domina swims up to the surface and crawls onto land. He looks out to the lake and sees Doria jumps out and wave to him. The hero inside him is awakening…
