Review NOW!12111eleven! Whatever. I want to know if anyone in here would like me to focus more on any one aspect, such as using the actual game dialogue. I thought that a lot of people do that, and it got kind of monotonous, and also, when I see a fanfic that has two together where there's only supposed to be one, and they change the game dialogue only to reflect that change, that kind of annoys me.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Link shouted as he jumped back from the thrust of the lizardlike creature. Sweat beaded on his forehead, and he was breathing heavily. Khârna was a bit better in shape. He was used to extreme heat, and his clothes helped some. But his axe was heavy, and he was starting to feel it. He saw his chance when the Lizalfos struck. He plunged his axe into its back, and it fell lifeless to the ground. Link wasn't having such good luck. His opponent was attacking far too mercilessly to get a hit in. But Khârna knew that it wouldn't be a good idea to try to help Link. He might make a fatal mistake if he was distracted. He started attacking relentlessly back, driven by the will to survive, and he gutted the poor creature, it fell into the pit of lava, where it would die a painful death.
"That was pretty cool, Link." Khârna remarked truthfully.
"Well, not as awesome as how you figured out how to open up the cavern."
"It was a wall low enough to throw over. Anyone could have done it."
"Yeah, sure." He said rather modestly. He didn't want recognition, he never had.
They continued on their way. Into a room with a huge stone pillar. Surrounded by bomb flowers.
"Weird," said Khârna. "You don't usually see this many bomb flowers in one place. It's almost as if they were put here on purp-" He had an idea. He ran to the perimeter of the room, picked a bomb flower, and set it in the only gap in the bomb flowers surrounding the pillar.
"Get out of the way, Link!" He shouted as the fuse on the flower burned down. Link didn't need telling twice. He got as far as he could away. Then,
"Boom!" "Boom! Boom!" and so on, as the flowers exploded. The tremendous force shook the base of the pillar, and it started falling, revealing a staircase.
"Well, that's cool," Link said.
"Yeah, but my ears are ringing." They continued up. Through a door were 4 Armos Knights. They went around them, and went through a door. I'll cut this short.
They found bombs. Lots of them. So, they continued upward in the cavern, and eventually found a bridge. Next to the bridge, was a plaque.
"Giant dead Dodongo," Link read. "When he sees red, the path will open."
"Strange," Khârna said. "I wonder what that could mean."
"Well, let's just cross the bridge." Link said. They started running across at a really fast pace, because there is a certain fear of heights inherent in humans. As a result of this, they almost didn't see the gap in the bridge. Khârna was in front, and link grabbed him.
"Wow, that was close," Khârna said. He looked down. It was the giant Dodongo skull. The eyeholes were directly below him.
"Hmmm…" he said, and experimentally dropped a bomb down the gap. It landed cleanly in the eyehole and promptly exploded. As if by magic, the entire eye turned red.
Khârna turned around and looked at Link, who was grinning. They jumped over the hole, and found that there was another one, wherein they dropped another bomb, getting the same result. There was a grinding noise as the Dodongo's jaw dropped, revealing an opening.
They quickly ran down to it, and went through. There was a switch in an indentation in the floor. Khârna jumped down to press it. The bars on a door retracted as he did this. But as soon as he got out, it went back down. They went through the opening that wasn't blocked. There was a block up on a ledge on the other side of the room, and one near the doorway. They knew what they had to do. Link used his slingshot to get rid of the Keese flying around while Khârna pushed the block over to the ledge, allowing him to push that block off. He saw a similar ledge in the next area. He groaned. This wasn't going to be fun.
They made it back to the room, pushing one last block down. Khârna pushed it into the indentation, as Link finished off the last Keese.
"Khârna, I don't have any more Deku seeds," said Link.
"That's okay," Khârna said. "We're almost done here anyway."
They went through the door that the bars had been blocking, and saw nothing, except for a strangely sunken floor. Khârna placed a bomb on it. It exploded, revealing a hole. He gulped and jumped down, with Link close behind.
It was hot down there, there was a big old lava lake right in the center of it. They looked around and gasped. The biggest Dodongo anyone had ever seen was breathing smoke out of its nostrils. It didn't look like any kind of Dodongo that they'd ever seen though. It had four legs, rather than the usual two, and a long horn on its snout made it look more deadly. With obsidian looking crystals encrusting its black scaled shoulders, truly, this was the King of the Dodongos.
After standing in shocked horror for nearly 10 seconds, which might not seem like a long time, but if a tank like fire breathing creature is rolling towards you, it would seem like an eternity. Link pushed Khârna up against the wall and the rolling demon reptile passed over them. It turned around and started taking a deep breath in, preparing to exhale fire.
Link thought fast. He grabbed a bomb flower and heaved it at the monster. King Dodongo gagged. The bomb blew up inside his stomach, and to say the least, it stunned him. Link ran up and started slashing at him, and Khârna quickly followed suit. He got up, and attempted to roll over them again, but they stayed close to the wall. He inhaled once again, and they carried out the same strategy. King Dodongo shrieked in a horrible, reptilian way. He rolled around again, but it seemed now without a purpose, without drive, and he rolled drunkenly straight into the Lava pit in the middle, which cooled, with the dead reptile in the middle.
The boys couldn't resist examining the dead body before leaving. But they did leave, and when they got out, if they had walked two less steps, they would have been crushed by the Goron King as he landed on the ground behind them. They turned around in surprise.
"You two did well," Darunia growled.
"Thank you," the boys mumbled simultaneously.
"How about you and I become sworn brothers?" Darunia asked. Khârna beamed. There was no greater honor in his mind than to be the brother of his King. Link didn't look so sure. But he decided that there were worse things.
"That would be nice," Link said.
"It sure would," Khârna said in such a way that Link burst out laughing.
"It doesn't involve any stuffy ceremonies or things like that," Darunia said. "I'll give you this as a sign of our friendship, since you wanted it," he said as he handed them the spiritual stone of fire. Link was very excited.
"Thank you, sir!" He said and ran off.
"I'm going to miss you, Darunia." Khârna said, and gave his foster father a hug before he went to follow Link.

Well, that's it for now. I'm not sure where they'll go now. Before Jabu-Jabu. Well, please review.
