Also, should I add a little bit of what happened last chappie now? –ponders-
Navi gaped soundlessly at their surroundings.
The pair was standing in the middle of a maze, the walls at least four times their size, and to top it all off, murderous, oversized boulders were rolling around gaily.
A large rock the size of a treehouse back in Kokiri Forest slid smoothly towards them, crushing the little bits of debris under it. Link let out a small groan.
"Bad things do happen to us," Navi said, wincing as the boulder bulldozed right over Link.
Cursing, Navi flew over to her fallen partner.
"Link, are you okay?" Navi asked urgently, trying to pry the flat Hylian off his chest.
Link, with great difficulty, raised up his head, and his once rather clueless features had been sort of squished into his face, giving him the look of a sly, conniving villain.
"I've been rolled over flat by a boulder," Link rasped disbelievingly. "DO YOU THINK I'M OKAY?"
"I guess not," Navi muttered, her sensitive hearing damaged slightly. "Can you um…get up?"
Link collapsed back on the ground as a reply, grumbling, "and I thought Goron hugs were bad."
Navi grimaced. Sooner or later, the boulder would begin making it's way back, and when it did, Link was surely not going to survive the second time around.
Two minutes later, the Hylian had not budged from his resting place on the ground, and Navi was growing more frantic and worried by the second.
"Link, I can see the boulder coming back," Navi yelled anxiously, prodding him on the shoulder.
"Okay, just let it kill me," Link mumbled into the ground incoherently. "I'm hungry anyways."
Navi felt goosebumps erupt all over her as she saw the giant block slowly roll towards Link, bringing his death.
We can't be destroyed by an oversized boulder, Navi thought desperately, trying to push Link out of the way, but her efforts were futile.Link, who seemed to sense the incoming rock let out a stream of unrecognizable words, rocking back and forth, tried to get up but failed, the tension too high.
Navi's heart dropped like a stone when she heard the squelching sound again.
"Na…"
Navi looked up in disbelief at the Hylian, who was now about two feet deeper into the ground.
"Link!" Navi cried out joyously. "You're alive!"
Link, with a stupendous effort raised his head and scowled.
"Seriously, could you people just kill me outright?" he complained angrily as he sank back into his imprint. "If you don't kill me the third time, I'm sooo getting a lawsuit."
Navi flinched as the boulder came by the third time round, now driving Link an astonishing six feet deeper.
"Link?" Navi croaked on the sixteenth time around.
Link didn't reply. There was a deep pit, a squished up figure in the middle of it all. Surprisingly enough, ten minutes later, the boulder had not returned.
"I think it's given up," Navi said thoughtfully, wondering how a boulder could think as she floated downwards to her fallen partner.
"Link, you all right?" she said worriedly.
"Yes, I'm perfectly fine Navi," Link answered sarcastically. "Could you stop asking me that when it's so obvious I'm in pain?"
Navi shrugged. "I'm the annoying character. Deal with it."
Link gingerly propped himself up on an elbow, moaning in pain.
Navi wondered what she could do to soothe her partner's wounds-and the future headaches she would get.
"Did you pick up any leaves on the way here, Link?" she inquired sharply.
Link scoffed. "I picked up every single leaf in Hyrule up till here."
Hopeful, Navi soared over to Link's pouch, and with an outburst of strength unhooked it from his tunic and let it's contents spill over the rocky floor.
"I'm not going to say anything," Navi muttered as she flew up from a vintage point and tried to sort out green leaves from the mess.
Link occasionally dipped a finger into the pile, coming out with a piece of sometimes mouldy food, and ate it ravenously.
Navi tried to keep her disapproving and disgusted look from landing on Link. It was incredibly hard.
"A leaf!" Navi crowed with joy as she swooped down and clutched and examined it carefully.
"Forest Temple Brand-it's dagger like feel will make you feel electric!" Navi read off the back of the leaf. "By Din, companies really do what to emphasize their motto nowadays. Anyway, wrong type."
The fairy tossed the leaf to the hissing lava, and a horrorstruck look crossed Link's face as the leaf boiled and melted.
"I had to kill several Wolfos for that," Link said inaudibly, looking dazed.
Navi kept digging through the pile. "Here's another one."
Her hopes surged as she read it. "Buckley's Medicinal Leaf. It tastes bad. And it works."
"I thought I chucked that out," Link mumbled, disappointed.
Navi began tearing it up and munching it up hurriedly, causing squirts of juice to pour out in large amounts. She nearly spat it out.
"It does taste bad," she grumbled, nearly choking on the terrible smell that was flitting through her nostrils.
Link looked contorted with aches. "I swear, I'm going straight to the retirement home ads after the Fire Temple."
Navi, sure that she had completely dissolved the leaf into liquid looked for a cup in the pile. There was a toothpaste cap to the left.
"It'll have to do," the fairy said grimly, picking it up and spitting the juice into it. It was a light yellow, the colour of sunflowers.
There was an extremely bitter and foul aftertaste lingering in Navi's mouth as she searched for other leaves, feeling slightly light and happy. Navi always did like brewing up odd liquids for her parents to try.
Of course, Navi's parents also scheduled a trip to the doctor's whenever Navi hinted at them she had a surprise ready.
Navi spotted two other Buckley leaves and reluctantly scooped them up and started munching on them again. The taste seemed to have worsened. After a few minutes, even though there were still some bits that weren't chewed up to liquid left, the fairy spat it out eagerly into the cup.
Link was watching all this, turning a shade of delicate green.
To rinse out the taste in her mouth, Navi looked for any fruits, hopefully fresh ones.
Almost as if it was portrayed as some sacred key to freedom, a shiny, gleaming, red and ripe apple lay on top of the pile, cushioned by some shreds of clothing.
Navi floated over to it, hypnotized. Excited, the fairy took a huge bite out of the apple, and immediately the taste was washed away by sweetness. She ate it all the way to the core, and, for her partner's sake, bit out some seeds and spat them into the toothpaste cup, hoping it would lessen the foul taste. Thinking vaguely about the taste, Navi started thinking about other objects she could put into the cup to add a bit of tang.
The fairy floated over and found a few mouldy sugar cubes. She bit off the fresh corners and popped them into the cup. The liquid began to sizzle.
"Um, Navi, shouldn't I drink it now?" Link asked nervously.
"Quiet, I'm doing this for you," Navi snapped, grinning widely. Oh, how she would make Link regret carrying so much stuff.
Navi spotted a cherry the size of herself. With difficulty, she heaved that into the cup as well. Sparks were beginning to fly from the liquid.
Link was considering running away from his fairy.
"You like rupees, don't you Link?" Navi asked in a dangerously sweet voice.
"Who, me?" Link squeaked nervously. "Yeah, sure, if you want me too!"
Navi, with crazed eyes bit into a rupee hidden in the pile, and a small chunk of it fell into the potion. Now it turned a nasty foul purple, with light splotches of yellow.
After several other different ingredients, Navi presented the full to the brim toothpaste cup to Link, smiling maniacally. "Drink."
Link peered into it, immediately turning away. It smelled terrible, just terrible. Green gases were winding a trail upwards, dark bubbles popped inside the liquid, and it reminded Link of old socks and recently mowed lawns.
"Er, Navi, I'm feeling quite okay now," Link said in a small voice.
"DRINK IT UP!" she yelled dangerously, pushing the cup towards him.
Pinching his nose, Link downed the cup in one gulp.
Navi watched expectantly. Oh, now Link would never dare stick anything in his pouch.
Link closed his eyes like he was expecting a bolt of thunder to hit him-then a dazed, heavenly, unfocused look crossed over his face. When he opened his eyes, they were glazed over. Without further ado, Link, who was still propped up on a rather sore elbow, fell down flat.
"Oh, by Farore, did I kill him?" Navi muttered anxiously. "I guess eating a combination of hairy salami and wood wouldn't be healthy."
Link suddenly shot up like a missile, grinning widely. "THAT WAS THE BEST THING I'VE EVER DRUNK IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!"
Navi stared disbelievingly.
"I got this really weird sensation," Link explained quickly. "And I thought I was going to die because I saw you dump some purple fungi in there, but it felt so reenergizing! Thanks, Navi!"
Navi felt like a goldfish, her mouth open.
"But…but." She stammered, feeling stunned. "How could you…"
Link was eagerly zipping about, twirling around and doing pirouettes. "I've never felt so free before!"
Navi, who was overcome, shook her head.
"Let's just keep going," she mumbled.
Link gaily hopped after Navi, humming.
"Watch out for that boulder," Navi pointed out emotionlessly. Link dodged it nimbly.
There were loud Goron cries resounding from the side.
"Look, a Goron!" Navi said, astonished. "Come on, Link!"
Link was there five minutes before Navi.
Navi pointed to the switch. "Seriously, Ganondorf's getting sloppy about security lately."
"I think the boulders were there for security," Link answered, stepping on it. The gates slid open. The Goron inside stumbled out, relieved.
"Thanks so much!" he cried out, looking very happy indeed.
Link was kicking open the chest and collecting the silver key inside.
"Rupee?" Link asked gruffly.
Navi and the Goron exchanged glances that clearly said, "Don't bother."
Eagerly the Goron skipped to freedom.
Navi smiled at the back of the disappearing creature and looked back at Link.
There was a loud squelching sound.
"Don't bother," Navi muttered.
