((A/N: I can't even think up an A/N for this one. Anyways, It's all about… going to the next area. I guess. It's short. Oh well.))
Link and Keira scaled the steep cliffs of Death Mountain, but it wasn't long until they reached the Goron City.
Or at least what used to be the Goron City.
The area was bare and Link hadn't found a single soul. Not even a Tektike. "Maybe… Ganondorf didn't make his own people or something?" Keira sighed and Link said, "What? He's ruling this world, so maybe he wanted people to rule?"
"Link… ugh…" Keira said, and didn't continue. Link sighed, and then walked back out.
"So, I guess we should just leave…" Link said, looking down onto the fields. It was horrendous. "So Keira… are you a real person? Or did Ganondorf just create you?" Link asked, trying to make conversation. He sat down, tired of walking already.
Keira said, "I am a Gerudo." Link was surprised. But Keira continued, "And so is Taric. Ganondorf doesn't have the power to create people."
"You're a Gerudo…?" Link asked. Keira nodded. Link began thinking. Gerudos gave birth to males every 100 years. Ganondorf couldn't be more than 100 years old… Unless he was more than 100 years old, but that was doubtful. Keira looked like a teenager, maybe younger. And he sure did act younger.
Keira sighed, "Let me guess. You're wondering how, if Ganondorf is a Gerudo, too. Right?"
Link was skeptical now. Keira explained, "Alright. I'll tell the truth. I'm only a half breed. I'm half Hylian, and half Gerudo…" He hesitated, before spilling the last bit of information, "And Ganondorf is my father."
"What?!" Link said, getting up.
"No! Remember? I'm on your side!" Keira said, floating up, trying to make sure Link didn't attack. Keira glanced down toward the ground as he floated back toward the ground. "It was a bit before the whole ordeal happened with you and such… yes, I know about what you did to him. But, while he was raiding villages and such, him and his crew of bandits murdered and raped people. He raped what you would call my mother, I guess. Little did Ganondorf know, she was pregnant, and I came. She died soon afterward, but that's when I was raised up with the Gerudos. I also learned my black magic from Koume and Kotake."
Link looked up at the blazing sky, taking it all in. Maybe Keira really was on his side? He still wasn't too sure. Then Keira suggested that the two leave. Link nodded and they started descending the mountain. And soon enough they came to the entrance of the mountain.
But they couldn't leave.
The entrance of the mountain was completely blocked off. There were enormous mounds of stones. Link looked at it, from all angles. "Do you… think I can bomb it?" Link said. Keira shrugged, so Link pulled out a bomb. He threw it at the mound, and the bomb exploded. Link grinned, but as the smoke cleared, the mound remained.
"Can't you climb it?" Keira asked. Link looked upward. It was almost twice his height. He shrugged and tried climbing, but the mound wasn't secure at all. Keira sighed.
Link gave up and then began thinking, "How are we going to get out of here…" Then a thought crossed his mind. "Kei. Let's go back to the Goron City."
"Kei? And why?"
"Because… if Ganondorf copied our world… there's a way out of here." Link grinned, and walk off toward the city. Inside, the duo found the secret exit into the Lost Woods.
