"Northern Mountains!" Mr. Ingo exclaimed in joy as he read off the piece of paper that was attached to his clipboard.

"Snowboarding!" Dark also exclaimed as he raised his right hand in happiness.

"Hot Springs!" Zelda squealed making Link blush very lightly.

"Gorons!" Mikau yelled out as he took out his bass and played a G sharp.

"Bigger Bombs!" Darmani yelled out as he gave a fist pump. Everyone in the group looked at him with strange expressions on their faces.

"Darmani I'm keeping you away from all of the bomb shops once we get there" Mr. Ingo commented with his head down. Link laughed knowing Darmani would find a way to get past Mr. Ingo. "Well everyone we should get going, grab your bags and we'll be off" he stated as he threw a brown duffel bag over his shoulders.

"Wait we have to carry our bags their?" Zelda asked slightly horrified at the idea of carrying two gigantic bags up a mountain.

"Yes you have you carry them yourself; the bus left an hour ago with the people that were heading off toward Eastern Canyon. So let's go Zelda we have places to be by midnight" he said happily. Zelda groaned knowing she was going to need a long soak in the hot springs after this. Link took this as a gift and quickly moved over to Zelda.

"Zelda do you want some help with your bags?" Link asked as he threw his own green duffel bag over his right shoulder. Mikau had to laugh knowing what would be waiting for them once they reached the mountain.

"Sure! I'm not sure how I was going to get these bags up a mountain anyway" she commented as Link took one of her humongous pink bags from her. When Link picked it up it felt like a ton literally. Zelda smiled as Link moved the back toward the mountain; Link could already tell this was going to a pain carrying the bag up the mountain. In an hour Link was trying to hide his pain from carrying two big bags up a huge slope. Soon Link got a sight of the mountain; he almost had a heart attack at the very sight of it. They all made their way up slippery slopes that would take them to the Mountain Smithy then eventually the Goron Shrine were they would stay for the remainder of the trip to the mountains. They went past the Mountain Smithy where Dark was forcibly dragged away from as was Mikau when they passed the Goron Graveyard. Every so often a girl would cry out saying it was 'too cold' or 'my feet hurt' but they all pressed on anyway hoping to get to the Goron Shrine before midnight. They passed the Goron Racetrack that was currently closed for the time being. Soon they were in sight of the Goron Shrine, everyone cheered and raced toward the front door ready to feast like kings. Link on the other hand was forced to drag both bags down the hill and toward the Shrine. Link arrived five minutes later then everyone else but the door didn't seem to be open for unknown reasons.

"Open the door we're freezing out here!" Mr. Ingo roared as he pounded his fists against the door hoping to get a hold of someone inside the Goron Shrine.

"Get the door guard to open the door for you, we can't be too careful these days!" a voice roared back from inside of the Shrine.

"He's not out here! We'll freeze before we can find him!" Mr. Ingo roared back with immense anger in his voice.

"Then get to it!" the voice shouted back. Mr. Ingo turned to face Link immediately after the voice shouted back at them.

"Link find him before we freeze to death, got it?" Mr. Ingo grunted to Link who was happy to ditch the bags he had been carrying for the entire trip. Link sprinted off as Dark ran after him not wanting to be alone in the middle of the mountain.

"Where do you think this guy could be Link?" Dark asked as they stood on one of the mini islands near the Goron Racetrack. Link shrugged as the harsh winds blew against his and Dark's body. Dark shuddered, he hated the cold.

"Let's try the Mountain Smithy, it's the warmest place besides the Goron Shrine around here" Link stated as they sprinted off towards the Mountain Smithy. In less than a minute they were in front of the Mountain Smithy. The Mountain Smithy was a big concrete building with doors that looked thicker then Link's head. A chimney spitted out puffs of smoke signaling the building was going to be very warm. Link knocked on the door as loud as he could hoping someone would hear him.

"Who's out there?" a man asked through the door as he opened it up a little just enough to see Link's and Dark's faces.

Link and Dark could just barely see his face; the man was short and skinny with short black hair that was covered with a white hat. The man was wearing a blue leotard with matching blue pointy shoes. If Link and Dark weren't freezing their butts off they would have laughed at him but the decided against it. "We're looking for the Goron Gate Guard, have you seen him?" Dark asked before Link could answer the man's question.

"Yes but you haven't answered my question yet boy" the man replied in a smug voice, it was obvious he knew he was in power in this situation.

"My names Link and this is my friend Dark, we're looking for the Gate Guard so our friends can enter the Goron Shrine before they freeze to death. Can you please help us?" Link stuttered out as the wind blew against his body like knives stabbing him.

"Sure, I can help you but what do I get in return?" the man asked as he raised one of his very small eyebrows.

"We'll do whatever you want! Just help us please!" Link stated as he tried to warm himself up. The wind was getting worse, he shuddered at the very thought of what the temperature was.

"Fine, I'll help you but I want you to return here in three days so you can help me out. So do we have a deal?" the man asked as he put his hand out waiting for Link to shake it. Link grabbed it and shook it immediately, but he couldn't help but think, had he just signed a deal with the devil? The man smiled as he let go of Link's grip. "Goron! People are waiting for you to open the door!" he shouted inside of his shop to someone. A grunt could be heard as a hammer hit a bell, a rock seemed to move somewhere far away and a shout of joy could be barley heard. Link sighed in relief; the door was open now all he had to do was return. The man stopped him before he could run away. "Remember boy, he have an agreement. Meet me here in three days and we'll see what you can do" the man said evilly as he looked Link up and down.

Link nodded then ran after Dark who was already a good hundred yards away from him. Link and Dark reached the Goron Shrine in no time, their bags were nowhere in sight but they didn't care right now. They dove into the Shrine before the door could close with happy expressions on their faces. The Shrine was huge, two floors of rooms lingered where the chandelier once lingered, two separate doors were right in front of the main hall that led to the Hot Springs but most important a huge door was right in front of them that would lead them to the Great Hall where all the food they could imagine would be waiting for them. Link and Dark barged through the Great Hall's door hoping to get some food before Darmani ate it all. The Great Hall seemed to be as large as the whole building they were staying in, rows and rows of food lined the table in the middle of the room. Everyone was already eating as Link and Dark arrived, Darmani of course was trying to persuade a nearby Goron to buy him bombs but it didn't seem to be working out so well. Link and Dark took their seats hoping to get some food before it disappeared but they were quickly interrupted by Mr. Ingo who was smiling.

"Thank you boys, we were wondering if we would ever get in here. As a token of my gratitude, I'll let you choose your roommates" Mr. Ingo proclaimed with a large mug in his hands filled with a dark amber liquid.

"No problem Mr. Ingo" said Dark as Mr. Ingo waddled off toward a nearby Goron. "Link, I think Mr. Ingo's drunk" Dark said quietly to Link who looked as if he would punch the next person that stopped him from eating.

"Me hungry, me eat now, worry about Mr. Ingo later" said Link curtly as he took a strange looking piece of chicken in his hand and took a big bite out of it.

"Link, do you know what that is?" Dark asked as he took some bread off of the table.

"No, but it's really good! Try some!" Link said happily as he took another bite of the strange looking chicken.

"Link…that's curry chicken, it's one of the spiciest foods that people have ever made" Dark stated slowly as he put a mug of water near Link.

"I don't know what you're talking about this isn't spicy at-oh god" Link said quickly changing his happy mood into one that looked as if he was going to throw up any second. Dark shrugged and moved another mug of water toward Link who was already chugging the mug that Dark had put by him earlier. But that didn't seem to help Link at all; he raced out of the door faster than a cheetah running away from its enemy. Link looked around as he tried to cool his tongue down. A large Goron approached him with a happy expression on his face.

"Ahh I guess you ate the curry chicken" the Goron stated as he looked at Link who seemed to be sweating from the intense heat of the food. Link nodded in response. "Here eat this" the Goron said as he handed Link a bright yellow pepper. Link took it immediately and shoved it down his throat hoping the heat would go away.

"Do you think we should tell him that Goron's are notorious pranksters?" Dark asked Mikau as they watched Link from the Great Hall.

"Nah, he'll figure out he just ate another spicy pepper in a minute" Mikau replied as they watched their friend realize he had just eaten another spicy food. They could already tell this was going to be a great trip.

An hour later, Link had finally found a way to cool down his mouth after eating more than twenty spicy foods. Now all they had to do was wait for their room assignments then they could finally go to sleep after a long trip to the Goron Shrine. Mr. Ingo slowly walked up to all the kids with a stagger in his step and a clipboard in his hands ready to hand out the room assignments. "I have the, hic, assignments here. The girls are in room, hic, 1 and the boys, hic, are in room 5. I'm in room, hic, 7 if you have any questions" Mr. Ingo addressed to everyone in the group. Everyone grabbed their stuff and headed toward their room. Link was actually quite happy, he was with all of his friends, the only person that he didn't know was Kafei but he didn't think it could be that bad. Link opened the door to his room and collapsed onto his bed already asleep before he hit it.

Little did he know he had made a deal that would be worse then anything he could ever dream of.
