Been about three days since I last updated, right? I'm thinking about devisin' a update schedule, it's just I can't get my lazy butt to work.
(Krystal Fox) Ouch....(flinches) Epona's hooves leave a nasty mark, they do. Hahaha, Volvagia'll burn Linky Poo into a crisp! (gasps)
(The Other Link) Hahahaha, you in the story? But if I do other will want to be in it too, lol. Isn't the disclaimer enough? You could be disclaimer patrol chief or somethin', haha. Hmm...you're willing to risk your life as Sebat's victim? Wow, you really DO want to be in this story, :P
(Moonlight Chan) (whimpers) Don't murder me or my reviewers! Hehe, Francis is the guy they met in Hyrule Market seven years ago and in the present. Is that a peom? Didja make it yourself?
(hey i read ur profile. r u really that young. oh and actually 82.5 of kokiri are overweiht, so u shud fix that ) yea, that is a long name...actually it's me ur loyal sensei...HA HA HA!!! I HAVE BEEN MENTIONED TWICE IN ONE INTRO!!! SURELY NOW THE WORLD IS) SENSEI??? A clever disguise...I must applaude you...have you been pretending to be my other anonymous reviewers as well? Hahaha...my first few chapters didn't have any cliffies at all...
(Nessa-Cuthalian) Hahaha, it's the cliffhanger of doom! :P can marry Mikau in Majora's Mask...but the female singer of the Indigos won't be so happy...
(Chocolate Starfish) Perhaps I should do a chapter explaining? What do you think? :D Is it up yet?
(Tristezza) (eats entire bag of gummy bears in seconds) Hmm...what else am I craving? Muffins! MUFFINS!!!! :D
(The Other Link) Haha...the seriousness creeps up silently...and then...IT POUNCES! :P Lol, hey "Nem". Hehe, it seems you guys caught up finally. :) Mmm, a wonderful idea! (cackles evilly)
(Mr Kyle) Wow, I just don't know who to feel pity for. Better half-maybe, everybody gangs up against him. But you get injuries and all that. Hm...mentally or physically? I DON'T KNOW....(sob) Okay, forget it. (splits cookie in half) You can have half, and your better half will have half.
(jj-monster) Lol, what part of the game are you on?
(Crimson-Ranger) Hahahaha, how long did it take for you to read all the chapters?
(bublz528) Hahaha, that is weird. I wonder why it happens every month. (scratches chin)
(LadyButtercup) :P Thanx for the compliments. (bows) Yes, Majora's Mask is quite fun, but in my opinion, Ocarina of Time is better. The time limit gets real annoying sometimes, and how you have to solve character's problems again. But there's a cool song you learn later on in the fourth temple, it's called Elegy of Emptiness, and it creates a frozen clone of what form you are currently in.
(Nemesis lights up disclaimer and blows it to shreds and then the Hulk eats the remains)
XD
It was quiet. The wind rustled old and yellowed bits of paper with advertisements on them barely sticking to the wall.
"Hello?" Navi called out, her cry bouncing off the walls. There was no reply.
"This place gives me the creeps," Link shuddered.
It was impossible to think that several years ago this city was teeming with life, with joyous and happy Gorons. It was now a complete ghost town.
"Is anyone here???" Navi tried again.
"HELLO???" Link screamed.
"Link!" Navi hissed. "You might wake up someone that we don't know...or something..."
Link rolled his eyes but fell silent.
"Let's go down to the bottom floor," Navi advised, pointing to a set of stairs.
"ARRRRUGGGH! Long live the Gorons!" a squeaky voice roared as a long set of arms curled around Link's neck.
"Aaahhh! Navi!" Link shrieked as the arms pulled him back.
Navi spotted a blur of brown as what seemed to be a young Goron child wrestling Link.
"Hey! Stop!" Navi protested weakly.
"That's a GREAT help, Navi!" Link cried out as he pushed the Goron off. "I'm on your side!"
The Goron growled and raised his fists, but stopped when he saw Link's features.
"A Hylian." He muttered. "What are you doing here?"
Link threw him a dirty glare before speaking. He brushed his tunic and looked angrily at him.
"We've come here to speak to a Goron kid." Link replied coldly.
The Goron's eyebrows flew up in suspicion.
"I'm the only one here. Ganondorf and his followers came here one day and snatched all the Gorons. My dad lef t to save the others." The Goron said shortly.
"I'm sorry about that," Navi apologized sympathetically.
"Yeah," Link agreed.
"Are you hungry?" the Goron asked, a look of concern crossing his face.
"A bit," Link answered, relieved. He burped all of a sudden. "Ahem...'scuse me."
"Follow me." The Goron replied quickly, leading them to another set of stairs. The stairs led to a dark room with two torches lit. Link had to stoop to make sure his head didn't scrape against the wall.
There was a giant slab of flat rock which was supposed to be the table and two smaller rocks to sit on. Link glanced only once before awkwardly taking his seat. The Goron moved further on into the darkness and came back holding a candle and some rock-like substance. He placed one chunk on Link's side and a candle in the middle.
"What's your name, by the way?" Link asked. "I'm Link."
Navi saw shock roll over the Goron's face as he lit the candle.
"Link?" he sputtered. "The real, Goron hero, Link???"
"Yes," Link answered, looking pleased.
"My dad...he named me after you!" the Goron yelped in excitement. "Can you give me an autograph?"
Link was glowing with pleasure as he fanned himself humbly.
"Of course, of course." Link said graciously, taking out a pretty pen with a gleaming ruby on top of it. "And why don't you sign up for my fan club, too? Managed by my fairy over there."
Link jerked his head towards Navi, who glared.
"You'd be the first male to sign up," Link chortled. "Ain't that an honour?"
"Sure!" the Goron cheered. "You know, my dad always told me I was just like you!"
"Intelligent and brave, eh?" Link asked, beaming.
"Oh, no, no, no." the Goron gushed. "Idiotic and a fool."
Navi struggled to hold back a smile as Link's ego seemed to pop.
"Idiotic...and...a fool?" Link croaked. "Who was your dad, may I ask?"
"Darunia," the Goron replied, his chest puffing up in pride.
"DARUNIA???" Link sputtered. "DARUNIA??"
"Yes," the Goron said, looking mildly surprised by Link's outburst. "Darunia, the leader of the Gorons. Why so shocked?"
"Nothing," Link mumbled. He didn't feel like launching in and explaining the entire story to him.
"Anyways, I thought you were hungry." The Goron chuckled, pointing to his slab of silvery stuff.
"Is this...edible?" Link asked, poking it tentatively.
"It certainly is!" the Goron said, looking offended.
Link sighed and broke off a crumb and placed it on his tongue, tasting it before swallowing it.
"It deems dokay," he said in a muffled voice as the crumb rode down his throat.
"See? It's gourmet food, only for the best Gorons."
"Yeah," Link mumbled as he broke off a large piece this time and ate it. "It's pretty good."
The Goron smiled widely. "My dad used to tell me not to eat too much. Apparently it's bad for your stomach."
Link nodded and started pulling off another giant piece.
"What's it called, anyways?" Link asked curiously, chewing the soft texture hungrily.
"It's very fine Dodongo's dung." The Goron said proudly, not noticing Link's disgusted face. "We scoop up the poop, bake it for five days, and voila! You got this tasty food!"
Link had turned white and the food was still in his mouth. He just sat there on the rock, frozen in an eating position. Navi tried hard to hold back a grin.
"What's the matter?" The Goron asked, looking a little worried. "Did you choke on it?"
"D-do-do-dodongo's POOP????" Link sputtered, letting all the chewed up substance flying everywhere. "I WAS EATING POO?"
"It's a very common dessert in Goron City," the Goron said, defending the dung. "I can't possibly see why you don't like it."
"BECAUSE IT'S POOP!" Link roared, making the table vibrate. "I ATE POOP! GET ME SOME WATER, YOU CRAZY WOMAN!"
The Goron, who looked stricken and frightened by Link's outburst scurried out, muttering, "Crazy visitors."
"Link ate poop," Navi sang in a sing-song voice. "Link ate poop!"
Link's head fell down on the table, his hunk of food buried in his face.
"I can't believe this," Link muttered. "I cannot believe this. I ate monster's dung and I actually liked it!"
"Good, Link." Navi said soothingly. "The first step to overcoming a fear is by letting the denial flow away from the situation."
"Right," Link took a deep breath and then started to cry. "I'M A WEIRDO! I ATE A DODONGO'S POOP AND I LIKED IT!!!!"
Navi flinched at the volume of Link's sobs but proceeded to quiet him down.
"Link, it's-"
"WAAHHHHHH!!!!"
"Link! Really, it's-"
"I WANT MY MOMMY!!!"
"LINK! BE QUIET AND LISTEN TO ME!"
Link fell silent.
"It's all right now, let's just pretend we NEVER stepped foot into Goron City, and we NEVER ate the poop."
Link took a few deep breaths.
"Right...right..."
The Goron suddenly came pounding in, holding a glass of water.
"Sorry if it tastes weird," he apologized. "Water isn't very clean around here...it's not one of the most popular drinks of the Goron, I'll tell you that."
Link stared at the Goron blankly. "Who are you?"
Navi glanced at Link, confused.
"Link, he's our friend. Remember? The Goron who wanted to sign up for your fan club?"
"Goron...huh? And why are we here? Why are we here in Goron City? Weren't we on the trail?"
Navi slapped her forehead.
"I didn't mean it that way!" Navi exclaimed angrily. "Just forget that you ate Dodongo poop!"
Link burst into hysterical sobs again.
"By Farore, this is insane." Navi muttered. "Anyways, Link, no, not you-"Navi threw an annoyed glance at the crying Hylian, "I mean the Goron."
"Yes?" the Goron asked pleasantly.
"We heard some rumours that Ganondorf revived a dragon," Navi started, but was immediately cut off.
"Volvagia." The Goron sighed. "The evil fire-breathing Goron eater. He'd toast you in seconds and eat you, I heard."
Navi shuddered, and a small cry of fear erupted from Link's sobs.
"Legend says that a long time ago Volvagia terrorized the city, and many lives were lost." The Goron continued, bristling. "But a great hero rose up and destroyed Volvagia just like that! He supposedly had a hammer, and it was blessed by a Great Fairy. Of course, he's dead, but Darunia is a descendant of him!"
Navi swallowed hard.
"We need to go and defeat the dragon."
The Goron snorted. "You? I'm sorry if I sound rude, but nobody except the one who bears the hammer is capable of even getting to Volvagia."
"We have to. Can you help us?" Navi asked firmly.
The Goron sighed.
"I suppose I could...follow me."
Link got up from the rock and stared at Navi with disbelief etched on his face. His look plainly said, Are you crazy??? Why are we helping the Gorons?
"But please, all I ask of you is to help free my fellow Gorons, and if you ever see my dad...tell him...that..."
The Goron sniffed loudly and finished in a whisper.
"That the video game I rented from Blockbuster is overdue, and I owe the workers an extra fifty-five rupees."
