She ended up falling into the lake face first. She gasped as her head broke the surface and she looked around her. She was surrounded by a rock wall in the shape of a circle all around. In front of her were three identical waterfalls. She didn't really have time to admire them seeing as they cause the lake water to seep her down through a tunnel.
Before long she fell down a small waterfall and found herself floating in front of a weird squid like creature. "Ack! Another human!" It exclaimed. "Okay, Okay, I just have to avoid eye contact and back away slowly." It slowly started to sim backwards at a rapid pace.
"Hey! Wait!" She yelled as she swam quickly after it with narrowed eyes as she followed it through the little room. Before long she found it easier to just dive underwater and was surprised to find that she could breathe. She felt a new confidence run through her and quickly spun quickly after it like a spinning top.
"Quit following me, You pest! If you don't move along, I'll be forced to tell her Excellence the Water Dragon about your little incursion!" He threatened before he swam through a crack in a wooden wall. "Ha HA! Didn't see that one coming, did you? Yep, there's no way you're going to be able to follow me now!" He gloated.
Oh, HELL NO! He did NOT I repeat NOT just challenge you, did he? She smirked before she spun forward like a spinning top and collided with the wooden wall causing her to stumble back.
She shook her head to get rid of the black dots that clouded her vision before her eyes widened in astonishment to see that the wooden wall was in tiny little pieces. "What?! How is that even possible?" His eyes zoned in on the blue scale on her neck. "Wait...That's a Water Dragon's Scale!" He exclaimed. "Does that make you the emissary of the goddess, like th Water Dragon said?" He questioned.
She smirked and jabbed one thumb towards herself. "That's me." She said with a smirk.
"Hey, I have an idea! Maybe you can help her excellence!" The weird squid like thing said excitedly.
"What happened?" She demanded.
"Yeah, about that..." The fish trailed off in thought. "It happened really recently. This weirdo came in here with a gang of monsters and went right after Her Excellence." He explained.
'Weirdo...' She had a bad feeling about this.
"My lady the Water Dragon and, boy, did she swallow up most of those monsters in the first few seconds." Kella narrowed her eyes slightly. "The thing is, there were just too many of them! When she was distracted the weirdo leading all those creatures managed to wound her."
Kella gritted her teeth in anger. 'Damn it, Ghirahim. What are you planning?' She thought to herself.
"She's healing up now, but she says that we don't have enough special water to make a full recovery." Kella swam right past the fish.
"Well come on, then!" She called over her shoulder.
"Where?" He asked in confusion causing her to stop in her tracks.
"To this Water Dragon!" She retorted. "If this weirdo is who I think it is then he wouldn't wound someone as powerful as a Water Dragon without a very good reason." She snapped causing the fish to jump and start to lead her through the water.
She swam confidently towards a platform in the middle of the water that was supposed to hold the water dragon. She did her spin attack up into the air only to crash head first into one of the pillars and fall back into the water. She gasped for air as he head broke the surface before her gaze hardened with determination. She swam backwards for a little while before she darted forward quickly, doing another spin attack into the air and landing in front of a big black cauldron with a blue head sticking out of it.
"AH! YOU THERE HUMAN!" She yelled at her.
"Gha!" Kella yelped.
"You have intruded into my home. A sacred place very few are permitted to enter!" She snapped. "This is no place for one such as you. And yet, here you stand! You will explain how you got here, and quickly!" She ordered.
"Sure, no problem. Just tell me one thing first. Are you the Water Dragon?" She asked as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"I am. Those with manners address me as Faron, Warden of the woods." The dragon replied.
"Manners, eh? It isn't exactly polite to yell, "AH! HUMAN!" Whenever one approaches you." She retorted,
"How dare you! I was chosen my the goddess herself! Though, my current is less than, well, intimidating, know that you stand in the presence of a loyal servant of the goddess." She snapped.
"Okay, Okay. I'm sorry, jeez!" She grumbled as she moved some of her hair out of her face.
"I say...That's one of MY scales you have there." She suddenly yelled, spotting the scale attached to her neck easily. "A sacred gift, such as that could only be carried by the goddesses chosen hero! But could you really be him!?" Faron narrowed her eyes.
"HER! And YES! I am!" Kella snapped, slightly offended.
"This raises many questions. Even with that scale in your possession, finding my hall is no easy task. How did you find me?"
"Some snoring Kikwi mentioned something about a Water Dragon around this area and I just sort of followed my instincts from there," She responded.
"Ah, yes...That cackling old hermit Kikwi told you where I live, did he?" Se nodded in response. "Honestly, I can't remember how many times I've told that scruffy thing to keep his mouth shut. Next time I see him, he's dinner!"
"That's a bit harsh don't you think?" Kella responded.
"No! That was the last straw!" Faron retorted.
"Okay, Okay! Albeit me to argue with a dragon." Kella responded with her hands held up in defense.
"Oh, but I digress. You've come here seeking a sacred flame, Haven't you?" Kella nodded.
"Yeah. I was told to come to you." She responded.
"I'll be straight with you. A small girl like you hardly seems up to the challenge!"
"You have got to be kidding me!" Kella yelled, "I've just been through three temples, in three different regions, plus I had to see something I could've gone the rest of my life without seeing and NOW you need more proof that I'm the chosen hero? SERIOUSLY!" She yelled.
Turns out she needed to go to the Skyview Temple. The one temple she would rather die than go back to. It didn't exactly take long for her to make her way through the temple again. And before long she found herself in front of that door again.
She had grown what you might call a sixth sense. Ever since that first meeting she always got this same bad feeling whenever Ghirahim was beyond a door or behind her, or close and about to strike.
It terrified her to her very core. But she knew that she had to proceed. She took a deep breath before she heard the faint sound of laughter on the other side of the door. It sent chills up and down her spine.
Confusion filled her head on what he would be doing back here.
"My god, Ghirahim. What are you planning?" She muttered as she pushed the door open.
