Chapter 4

When I woke up from my slumber, I noticed that Renado was no longer here. I stood up, and stretched, I looked down to pick up the sword…it was no longer there. I started to frantically look thought the room well if there was anything in the room it would be a big mess.

"Renado" I hissed as I threw open the doors only to see renado in the lake looking thing with my sword.

"Good morning" he said as if nothing was wrong "are you ready to go up Death Mountain, I heard it was the most wonderful view you could ever see of hyrule."

"Hyrule" I thought "this place is called hyrule."

As renado got up he dried of the sword and handed it to me

"Sorry about me not telling you where I was going with this" he said as he put the sword in my palm.

"No its okay" I lied "I didn't even know it was missing"

"Oh okay" he said sounding surprised "well in that case I want you to have this" he said as he put a piece of paper that was folded and was worn.

"What is it?" I said I set down the sword and opened it carefully trying not to rip it.

"It's a map" He replied "of Hyrule"

"Ohhh" I said as I finally got it open to see it "wow, it is pretty huge"

"It is" he replied "it would be better to travel on horseback or something to get somewhere faster"

"ok I will get right on that" I said folding up the map and picking up my sword once again and put the map in my back pocket "now where can I find this death mountain"

"Just that way" he said as he pointed north

"Ok" I said as I started to walk north "thanks for the help"

"No problem" he said as he headed back into his house

It took me a good 5 minutes to get around the corner only to see a huge wall, or well it looked like a wall but it was like a giant net as I started to climb I remembered I am not very fond of heights so it took me awhile before I finally got up to the top. As I laid there thankful that I did not fall to my death, I looked up to see a huge, kinda fat tanish creature with blue eyes and a rock shell or that is what it looks like, looking down at me.

"Hello" It said in a deep booming voice.

"Hi" I said cautiously wondering what the hell it was "can I ask you a question?"

"Sure" it replied

"What are you?" I asked as it started to bellow a huge laugh

"You don't know what we are" he chuckled as he wiped a tear away from his eye "we are the gorons that live here."

"oh yeah" I said as I got up not even seeing the goron eye to eye so I basically had to look up.

"So what brings you here" the goron asked

"Oh I'm here to see the Goron Elder, I heard that he might know where the sheath is for this" I said as I held out the sword for the goron to see.

"Hmmmm, very good craftsman ship," he said as he took it out of my heads to exam it "who made this?"

"I don't know" I replied as the goron handed the sword back to me. "I was hoping that the elder might know who made it or at least now where the sheath is.

"Allow me to help you climb the mountain" He asked as he made a forwarding motion with his hand "we should at least get acquainted…my name Monix"

"My name is Alisa" I replied back As I followed him down the path till we came upon a huge wall. I looked up to see Death mountain acending into the sky.

"It's going to take forever to get up there!" I whined as the heat was really starting to get to me.

"It won't take that long" Declared Monix as he went by the wall and curled up in a ball "Just hop on."

"What is he insane" I thought as I approached him and climbed on his back and he started to shake rapidly. Next thing I know I'm catapulted into the air almost losing my death grip on the sword as my body slammed onto the ground I got up to see that I was now higher up. I looked down to see Monix fly up and land right next to me.

"What did you just do?" I asked still stunned by what happened.

"I launched you up into the air" he replied calmly "It is the only way up the mountain"

"Great" I said as he once again walked over to another wall and curled up. As I got on his back I closed my eyes feeling Monix shake rapidly and then I felt nothing until I once again got smacked on the ground "Who knew that climbing up a Mountain could be so painful" I said as I got up just seeing Monix land right next to me.

As the day progressed we continued up the mountain until we finally got up to the top. I of course ached everywhere I could never land on my feet.

"Finally" I said as we walked towards the entrance "We're here"

As I walked in I was surprised by what I saw. There where Goron body gaurds everywhere, in the middle of the room there where 4 small older gorons, and right behind them a huge goron that loomed over them and everyone else. The room was lit very well it almost felt cozy, without the big huge goron anyway, what also striked me as the most weirdest thing was that they had a sumo wrestling area right in the middle of the room with bleachers on both sides of the walls.

I saw Monix walk over to the older gorons and started to talk to them, I did not know what they were saying, but the older gorons seemed quite interesting in what Monix was telling them. As there conversation lead on I was starting to get bored…VERY BORED.

"When are they going to stop talking" I thought as they still where chattering aimlessly "I kinda have to find my friends, but they don't know that and I don't what them to know."

After a couple of more grouling boring minutes they stopped talking as Monix walked back over to me.

"Jeez" I said " what took you so long"

"we were having a very good conversation about that sword of yours" he replied calmly "Gor Coron wants to speak with you privately"

"Who is he?" I asked "and what for?"

"Don't worry I will introduce you to him" he replied "and if really must know why, he has some information that you should know about your sword and the sheath that you are looking for."

"Really" I said enthusiastically as we headed toward the 4 Goron Elders as I got closer the older they looked, as I faced the elders there eyes lit up when they saw the sword.

"Come" said one of the elders who had snow white hair and was somewhat smaller than the rest, and was walking towards another door.

"That would be Gor Coron" Monix said "what ever you do, do not get him mad otherwise you will have to sumo wrestl with him and let me tell you, he is old but he is very good at sumo wrestling."

"Ok" I said as I walked with the Gor Coron outside once more. The sun was almost gone behind the horizon.

"So tell me" He said "where did you exactly find that sword"

"to tell you the truth" I said "I found it in a tree"

"I see" He said " so you found this sword in a tree"

"yeah" I said as he sat down on the ledge I off course sat down next to him.

"I suppose you want to know where the sheath is to your sword?" He asked

"yeah" I replied

"well in that case…I'm afraid I have some bad news" he said as he looked at me "2 months ago a huge dragon came here and attacked our homestead, weird thing is that all it took was the sheath and the sword. I don't know why the dragon put that sword in the tree, and we most certainly don't know why it took it in the first place."

"where can I find this dragon" I said even thought he may think I sound crazy I didn't care.

"If you must know" he said as he stood up and pointed up even higher up the mountain " he is in that cave, even though you can barely see it."

"ok" I said as I stood up not very pleased on what happened.

"you can stay here for the night" he said as he walked into the room once again

"thanks" I said as I watched the sun go down.

Now…how to get that sheath….
