Gaining the Spiritual Stone of Fire wasn't so bad. Gaining the Spiritual stone of water was a bit trickier. For this one he had to deal with another princess. This one acted exactly like how he pictured any princess would; snotty and demanding. He couldn't say anything though. Insulting the providers of daily fresh water was the dumbest thing he could do at this point. And yet, as Princess Ruto rattled off the list of 'manservant' duties, Storm could feel his patience slipping.

"…and as my new manservant, I expect you to clean my room and give manicures every day. You will be carrying me every where I go, so I'd work out more if I were you. Furthermore…"

"Oh for the love of Din Will you PLEASE stop talking!"

"Uh! Well I never!"

"Well you should start!"

Ruto kicked him in the head and told him to head down the hole previously blocked by the green tentacle.

"There it is!"

"What?! Where?!"

"That's it! The Zora Sapphire!"
Princess Ruto squirmed out of Storm's grasp, and ran for the blue stone.

"I found it! Oh thank goodness! I though I lost it for good! Ok manser- Woah! "

Storm yanked out his sword as Ruto was sent upward and a Bigocto took her place.

When the Bigocto fell and Storm finally reached the top, he couldn't find Ruto anywhere. Admittedly, part of him was grateful, but now he lost the Zora Princess and The spiritual stone of water.

"Don't Worry Storm, We're in a fish there's not too many places she can be. Where could she have gone?"

"The digestive track?"

"Think positively man!"

"I am."

Navi gave him a small bonk on the head for the rude comment.

Storm almost regained feeling in his arms after defeating the Barinade. Sitting on top of Jabu-Jabu looking at the clear blue sky his thoughts were on Ruto's angry words from before

"You're late! How dare you! Don't look at me like that! I was lonely that's all"

He swore he would never understand women…. He was so distracted, he didn't see her behind him, and couldn't prepare for the light push that sent him flying into the water below. As he tumbled into the fountain, he saw Ruto dive in after him.

Storm swam to the surface and gulped in the air that was so rudely dispatched from his lungs.

"What was that for?!"

Ruto seemed unperturbed at his angry out burst. In fact, she was giggling.

"You're good kid! Better than any other Zora here…." she said smiling slyly as she swam closer to him. "You really want the Sapphire?"

"Yes I do." He replied curtly.

"hee hee, I guess I could give it to you, You have to come back though ok? This stone… it's more like a Zora engagement ring."

Navi laughed inwardly. Storm had no idea what he was getting into. This Ruto girl was certainly sneakier than any of the other girls Storm had com across… She debated whether or not to report this back to Saria.

"Thank you Princess Ruto, You've been a great help." Storm said with a smile. He then ran towards in the direction of the Castle.

"Hey Navi? What's an engagement ring?"

Navi didn't have the heart to tell him.
