What's a Dodongo?
Author's note: I own nothing. Colin left his sword and shield at his house not knowing he would be sent to another world. Just to be clear. As always please read and review.
Colin trotted behind Link on their way to Kakariko Town. He was thinking about the Link he knew vs. the Link he was with. They were both incredibly stubborn and determined but this Link was rather sarcastic and his words bit a little when he used them. Colin had noticed Link didn't speak often and in fact chose not to talk even when he could. They parted to gather supplies and would rest in the inn in town before heading up Death Mt. the morning after. The trek up the mountain was annoying because a goron nearly ran them both over. They were entering the city when a blue fairy shot out of Link's hat shouting,
"Hey Link, Listen!"
The boy sighed, "What, Navi?"
"we should go see Saria and tell her We're saving the world!"
Colin stared at the fairy with wide eyes having never heard a fairy talk before.
Link grimaced, "In a minute. I'm kind of busy."
The fairy seemed to be annoyed but disappeared back into his hat. Link looked over at Colin and rolled his eyes.
"who was that?" Colin asked surprised. Link smiled at him.
"That was Navi. You learn to ignore her. But we should go see Saria when we have a chance." Colin nodded he wanted to see the kind green-haired girl again.
They wandered through the city finding a passage that reminded Link of the lost woods with the sounds that were coming from it. They moved on, Link opening the passage to the Goron leader's room with Zelda's lullaby and lighting the torches in the city with the fire they found there. They headed back to the passage with a torch and used it to light the flowers. The resulting explosion opened the passage. They moved through it entering the Lost Woods. Colin stayed close to Link as he followed the music running into the owl again. They finally made it to the sacred grove and after killing the Deku scrubs, met up Saria who was pleased to see them. After about thirty minutes of catching up Saria taught Link a song and told Colin if he got an instrument she would talk to him as well when he played her song. Colin nodded memorizing the notes and promising to look for his own instrument. They reluctantly said goodbye and headed back to the goron city. They had to play Saria's song for the goron leader who introduced himself as Darunia and said that if they wanted the goron's stone then they had to prove themselves real men and clear out Dodongo's cavern. Link rolled his eyes grumbling about lazy gorons and people sending children to do an adult's job. The grumble got even worse when a bomb flower opened the cavern and the two of them vanished into it. Colin had a moment of panic when he came face to face with a Dodongo which was a fire breathing lizard. Link killed it and handed Colin his slingshot as a weapon. It took nearly all day to clear out the cavern of monsters and by the end Colin was sure of two things. One, Link was a closet pyromaniac with an unhealthy obsession with bombs and two, never annoy a boy who carried bombs. Link and he parted ways as Link continued up the mountain and Colin went back into town to find some food and a bed to sleep in. As Colin fell asleep that night he hoped they were doing the right thing by collecting the stones for the princess.
