Chapter four-

Link felt a rush of fresh, crisp night air as he, Nova,Tatl, Navi, and Namara left the forest temple. Link was confused about one thing. Namara said he had to find eight fairys at eight temples, but he only knew of five temples.

"Namara?" Link planned to express his concern now.

"Yes?" Namara answered, while stareing down the way at the moblins.

"You said i had to find eight fairys, but there are only five temples."

"You forgot about the Temple of Time, and as for the other two, they reside in places around this land that they consider worthy to consider a fairy temple."Explained Namara.

Link was still confused, but satisfied that he wouldnt have to fight his way through three new temples.

"Link? Is there a faster way to get to the fire temple?" Namara asked.

Link thought for a monent. "Yeah, there is now that i think of it, there is. We can warp there."

"Warp? How?"Nova asked, even he was curious.

Link pulled out a blue orcarina.

"This is what i use. There are magical melodys, when played on the ocarina of time have the power to warp us to certain places."Link explained. "Everyone gether around here."

Link begain to play a very deep sounding melody, and when he finished small lights surrounded the group.

---

Seconds later, Namara felt a heavy envelope of suffocating heat press against her.

"I dont think these guys can survive for very long in here!" Nova said as Link and Namara begain to gasp for air.

"Its so hot to them they can hardly breathe!" Tatl shouted." And if that doesnt get them, their boiling blood will!"

"Come on you two! Across the bridge!" Navi cried as Link and Namara rushed across the newly repared bridge to the exit.

Namara and Link threw them selves into Darunia's room and out of the Death mountain crater.

"I forgot about that." Link Murmured.

"Not that it was to terribly important." Mumbled Namara sarcasticly.

"Link, you better go change. You cant survive in there without your goron tunic." Reminded Navi.

"What about me?" Namara asked."You are not going to leave me behind."

Link thought, then snatched Tatl in a bottle and walked into one of the halls after telling the others not to follow.

"Tatl, i need your help with this." Link said, opening the bottle. "I need you to distract Namara, while i get into the Fire temple."

"fine, but if you ever put me in a bottle again, your gonna wake up with your head stuck in that one fence Navi ran into in the opening scene!" Snapped Tatl.

"Deal."

Link found a place to change, and went back into Darunia's room to find Navi and Nova waiting for him.

"Did it work?" Link asked.

"Yeah, Tatl is dragging Namara to see that big goron guy." Navi said.

"Ok, lets move before she catches on." Link mumbled.

Link walked through the fire temple much like he did the forest temple, untill he came to a door that seemed familiar.

"Whats with this door?" Navi asked herself."I know there was something significant in here, but i cant remember what..."

Link entered the room fearing the worst, but looked around the room and nothing seemed to be around.

"Link watch out!" Shouted navi. Link felt a sharp blow to the back of his head that sent him falling forward. He rolled turned quickly and drew his master sword.

"Watch it! You'll put someone's eye out!" Snapped a fimiliar voice. Link strained his eyes against the dim tourch light, to see a very angry Namara in a Goron tunic.

"But your supposed to be...Tatl was supposed to...!" Link turned to the little white fairy.

"She found us out..." Tatl said quickly. Link felt another sharp blow and fell backwards again.

"Leave me behind will you?" Namara shouted. "Do you have any damn idea how mad it makes me when people try to fool me!"

Even in the dim light Link could see how angry she was, and even he was afraid of what she might do next.

"Would it make you feel better if i said you look good in red?" Link asked quickly, but this just seemed to make her angrier.

Namara seemed ready to strike again, but she stopped herself when the tourches suddenly lit them selves.

A body of flame formed in the center of a platform in the middle of the room.

"The flare dancer. Thats what i was remembering!" Link said to him self. He drew his sword and hookshot.

"Get out of the way!" snapped Namara, she grabbed the hookshot from him, took aim and hooked the bomb in the center of the flare dancer's body and pulled it out, then grabbed Link's Master sword and got in as many hits as she could before it jumped back into it's flameing clothes. She repeated this a few times paying no attention as it changed color, untill finnaly the bomb exploded and the flare dancer was dead again.

"Ok, i feel better." Muttered Namara, returning the hookshot and Master sword to Link. "Lets go."

"What was that about?" Tatl asked. " I thought you couldnt use weapons?"

"I dont carry them, that doesnt mean i cant use them." Snapped Namara, though she was obviously in a better mood than before.

Link didnt say anything, only followed Namara and the fairys through the newly opened door.

Namara didnt speak the rest of the way through the temple, not even when they came to the boss door. She wouldnt even look at Link, and he couldnt stand it any more.

"What is your problem?" He burst out. "You havent spoken to anyone almost the whole time you've been here!"

Namara didnt say anything.

"Fine. Be that way." Mumbled Link as the boss door opened. The fairys seemed to sigh as they followed Namara and Link into Volvagia's chamber.

Volvagia's chamber was a circular room surrounded by lava with a stone platform in the middle dotted with puddles of lava.

Link, Namara and the fairys entered the chamber, and the door bolted behind them. They stepped onto the platform, and Link pulled out his megaton hammer. The room was silent for a few moments.

"Maybe Volvagia wasnt ressurected." Said Navi. Then Volvagia poped out of one of the pools of lava and Link smashed it in the nose with the megaton hammer. Volvagia was stunned by the blow and Link sliced away at him with his sword. Link repeated this a few more times, and Volvagia flew out of one of the pool and flew past him shooting flame at him all the way. Link dodged as many was he could, volgagia just kept breathing more flame, untill Link started getting tired. Link was slower now and was hit by several blasts of flame.

"Oh no!" Squeeked Tatl.

"Namara! Do something!" Shouted Navi.

"Why should i?" Asked Namara. "He left me behind, so he must not need my help."

"You have to help him, hes dieing out there." Snapped Nova.

Namara looked out to the center of the platform where Link was trying to avoid Volvagia's flame. She was about to turn away, but she caught a glimpse of a blast of flame. She spun to face the flame as it engulfed Link.

"Link!" She shouted. Link turned to face her, his tunic was on fire, but he didnt seem to notice. He was in a daze, he felt his limbs go numb.

"It speaks..." He murmured, and he passed out.

"LINK!"Shouted Namara. She ran over to where he had fallen and tamped out the fire. "Wake up, please..."

Volvagia swooped down again, Namara grabbed Link's bow which had fallen on the ground, and shot several arrows. Volvagia dived into another puddle of lava and poped out right next to Namara.

"IM NOT IN THE MOOD FOR THIS!" Cried Namara. She picked up Link's hammer and smashed Volvagia in the nose, when he was stunned she struck the finishing blow.

Volvagia dissolved into flame, and a blue light surrounded the center of the platform reveiling a glass jar with a bright red fairy inside. Namara didnt seem to notice, so the free fairys shoved the jar untill it broke on one of the sharp rocks.

"IM FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" cried the fairy.

"Welcome to the free world, Kriku." Nova said to the red fairy.

"I tell ya, its good to be free!" Kriku said.

Namara sat beside Link, unaware of what was going on around her.

"Im so sorry... I should have done something sooner."She said. Kriku noticed Namara and Link, and flew over to them.

"So this is the hero of time?" He asked.

"Yeah..."answered Namara.

"First thing we should do is get him out of here, drag him into the blue light."Ordered Kriku. Namara did as she was told, the fairys followed and they where all transported out of the temple. They reappeared just out side Goron city.

"We need a red potion!" Navi and Tatl shouted.

"Its what he always used when he was running out of energy." Tatl explained.

"Navi, Nova, Tatl, and i will go and find some place that sells them."Kriku said. The fairys flew off toward Kakiriko village.

"Please wake up... your the hero of time. The world needs you..." Mumbled Namara.

Hours later, the four fairys returned. they buzzed to a stop in front of Namara.

"We searched the whole village, it seems the old hag who makes potions has relocated to Termania." Reported Tatl.

"Then what are we gonna do!" Namara cried.

"The only thing i know of..." Navi said."Is to get to Lonlon ranch, and get some Lonlon milk!"

"How am i supposed to get there in time!" Namara asked. Nova buzzed around her head as though the answer was wrapped around her face.

"Use the horse!" He snapped. Namara gave him a look of horror.

"But that horse hates me!" Namara said. " And i dont know how to call her!"

"Epona will listen to you if she knows its to help Link." Tatl said. Navi shoved her out of the way.

"As for calling her, just play her song on the orcarina!" She said. Tatl shoved the orcarina out of a pouch Link was carrying.

"Take this out to Hyrule field and play Epona's song." Tatl said. "We will stay here with Link."

Namara took a deep breath and started down the trail.

"Princess! Wait!" Shouted Kriku."Its getting dark, and the field is dangerous at night. Take the master sword."

"Kriku is right, Namara." Navi said. "The field is full of poes by night, they cant do damage while your on Epona, but you never know when she may throw you off."

finnaly Namara gave in and took the master sword with her down the trail, through the village, and out to the field. The sun was setting, and Namara could already hear the sinister laughs of the poes residing in the fields.

"Now or never..." she murmured. She raised the orcarina to her lips and attempted to replay the melody link had played to call Epona. The melody she played was crude, but she could hear hoof beats comeing her way. When Epona arrived, she pawed at the ground in outrage.

"Calm down, pinto." Namara said. " Link needs our help, we need to get to the ranch, fast."

Epona heared this and calmed down, and aloud Namara to climb onto her back. As soon as Namara was up, Epona took off running toward Lonlon ranch.

---

Malon was heading home from a milk delivery, when she turned at the sound of hoof beats to see a figure rideing towards her. The familiar master sword was slung across their back. It was to dark to see who it was.

"Fairy boy?"Malon was wrong. As the figure came closer, she could see that it was Epona and the girl Link had brought to her several days earlier."No, its Fairy girl! The one who came with the white fairy."

"Malon!"shouted Namara. Epona came to a sharp halt and bucked, sending Namara flying to the ground.

"Epona!" Snapped Malon.

"Stupid horse." Mumbled Namara as Malon pulled her to her feet.

"She doesnt normaly act this way, i dont know whats gotten into her."

"Enough about the horse, Link is in trouble,we need some milk."

"Right, follow me." Malon said, leading Namara into the ranch.

---

Namara said goodbye to Malon after reciveing three bottles of milk and mounted Epona again. Epona ran as fast as her weakened legs would carry her, then seeing a perfect opertunity, dumped Namara off in the middle of the field. She shot off in the direction of the forest leaving Namara alone.

"DAMN HORSE!" Shouted Namara. As though reacting to Namara's shouting, several stalfos knights popped out of the ground.

"But...Link told me not even Stalfos children have been here for seven years!" Namara cried, unsheathing the Master sword. She defeated afew of the knights, but more kept comeing. Finnaly Namara stopped fighting them, and ran.

Namara ran from the stalfos that popped up around her, and in her path, untill she finnaly came to the bridge. She ran across and kept running untill she was safe in the village again. She swayed and leaned against the gate, but contenued up the mountain path.

When she got there, all four fairys buzzed around her head.

"What took so long!" Tatl asked.

"What happened to you?" Kriku asked.

"That stupid horse threw me in the middle of the field. There where stalfos knights tonight." Namara explained. " I had to run here, but i have the milk."

Namara kneeled next to Link, tilted his head up and poured some of the milk down his throut. Link coughed and sat bolt upright.

"Wh-what happend?" He asked. "Is volvagia dead?"

Namara smacked him across the face.

"What was that for!" Link asked Definsively.

"Do not ever scare me like that again!" She cried, and burst into tears. "And i hate that stupid horse of yours!"

"Dont worry, Princess, everythings fine now." Kriku said. Then he turned to Link. "I would slap you too, but i dont have any arms."

"Your the fire fairy right?"Link asked Kriku.

"At your service." Kriku said. "Actually, at the service of the Princess."

"Zelda?" Link asked. Kriku buzzed around his head.

"Whos Zelda? Im serveing the princess of--" Kriku was cut of by Nova slamming into him and giving him a wing flutter like code.

Link turned towards Namara, who was still crying.

"Whats this about a stupid horse?" He asked. Namara exlained how she had to call Epona and ride to the ranch for milk.

"...and then, she bucked me off right in the middle of the field, and i had run back here through endless stalfos nights that kept popping up."

"I cant belive Epona would do something like that...shes always been such a reliable partner." Link mumbled.

"That horse hates me." Namara mumbled.

"Dont worry, we wont need Epona when we can use the orcarina." Link said.
