Sorry im late but two factors made this chapter late. One was Halo Wars; Halo Wars is pure win. The other was this chapter had so much to do with the story that I literally had to go through it with a comb making sure everything made sence. It also sets up everything in the story so pay attention to everything in this chapter! Also it gives away a future chapter, I'll give you the next chapters name if you can guess what this chapter gives away. So without further ado, here's the next chapter. Wow I used the word 'chapter' a lot.

The sun hit Link's face like a bullet train at a hundred miles an hour; Link groaned and slowly rolled over. The thing is no one told him he was at the edge of his bed; Link hit the solid ground with a large 'thump'. Link blinked a few times not realizing he was on the ground, he slowly rose from the ground, cracked his neck and back then took a quick look around the room. Darmani was on the other bed in the room, Dark was curled up in a corner of the room with a blanket, Mikau was upside down next to Link's bed, and Kafei was sleeping on a chair. Link couldn't help but laugh at everyone in the room and their sleeping arrangements. Link yawned a few times then decided he might as well take a look around outside. Link quickly unzipped his duffel bag and pulled out a black shirt, jeans and a white sweatshirt. He quickly got dressed then left his room in search of anything that might be entertaining. He slowly made his way down the staircase and toward the Great Hall.

Link stretched his arms and decided to take a look outside at the beautiful scenery. Link slid his warm and toasty fingers in his sweatshirt's pockets and went outside using his shoulder to open the door. A wave of cold air hit him as soon as he left the Goron Shrine; he took in a deep breath of cold air then started walking toward the Goron Cemetery they had passed yesterday. He put his sweatshirts hood up hoping it would stop the brutal wind, he passed mounds of snow and trees that were covered with fresh snow. Link soon arrived at a large rock wall that had ladder like things attached to the sides of the mountain. Below the cliff was a large body of ice cold water that would probably freeze Link if he touched it. Link looked around hoping to find another way to the cemetery but it didn't seem there was any other way to get to it. Link took a deep breath as he took his hands out of his sweatshirt's pockets ready to climb up the cliff.

Link backed up a few paces, lowered his body stance, smacked his hands together, and then ran toward the cliff like a bullet flying through the air. As soon as he reached the very edge of the lake he jumped as hard and as far as he could. He reached his hands out as far as he could ready to catch the cliff's ladder like things attached to it. With one swift fluid motion he grabbed a hold of the cliff and started to pull himself up toward the summit. Every second was a fight for survival as he tried to climb the cliff, he realized as soon as he started climbing this cliff was designed to punish people who tried to reach the cemetery. The climb was long and hard but in no time he reached the summit of the cliff; he dove over the side then collapsed onto the cold snow gasping for air. Even though that was possibly the hardest thing Link had ever done in his life he was happy he had done it.

He rose from the ground, cracked his neck then walked into the Goron Cemetery with a smile on his face. The cemetery was boiling hot, in the middle of it was a huge tomb stone with hot water surrounding it. Link slowly moved toward the tomb stone hoping to get a closer look at it, scribbled it large letter across the front of the tomb stone was 'Darmani the Last Goron Warrior. He gave his life to save us from the evil monsters in SnowHead Temple. Darmani was last seen fifteen years ago, it is presumed he died in battle. Let this memorial stand as a signal for all those who wish to dream of a better life'. Link snarled.

"He was here" Link said softly as he raised his head. "How could he do that…"

"Having a nice history lesson Link?" a harsh voice asked Link. Link turned about face and saw Deity standing behind him leaning against the ice cold wall. "I've been here already after you guys betrayed me."

"Deity he couldn't do anything and you know that, would you really have wanted Vin to have to live in a foster home like Dark? What would have happened if Vin was sent farther away then you were!" Link bellowed at Deity you simply snarled back.

"Link; do you know how I felt when my twin brother didn't even try to save me? I felt worse than when he left us alone with mom" Deity proclaimed with a bitter voice.

"How can you say that when you tried to kill me twice! Not even he would try to do that!" Link bellowed back at Deity.

"Survival of the fittest Link" Deity replied simply.

"And yet you have the will to preach about why I didn't try to save you? You stopped being my brother when you did that to us. When he heard you were coming back we were ecstatic but when you came back you punched Dark out! What brother would do that!" Lin roared at Deity who didn't move a muscle.

"You never had to survive in the desert after escaping jail have you Link? The desert changes people Link. You're lucky I didn't kill Dark back then" Deity snapped back.

"You're less human to me then he is, at least he didn't try to kill us; he may have left us but at least he knew what he stood for" Link replied loudly.

Deity simply gave Link the middle finger and began to leave the cemetery. "Sorry I have to go Link but I have matters to attend to. Next time we meet only one of us will leave alive" said Deity with no emotion in his voice at all. Deity steeped out of the cemetery and dived off the cliff, and then Link heard a splash of water.

Link didn't move a single move in his body, he didn't know if he even could. After a long time of just staring at the place Deity had just stood he decided to go back to Goron Shrine. Link moved toward the edge of the cliff and dove off not caring about what would happen. As Link hit the ice cold water he cared little about anything. He fell into the water not moving toward the surface, he slowly fell toward the bottom of the lake. His body was ice cold as was his heart right now; he didn't care about anything right now.

"The hero can't die Link you should know that" a familiar voice said from nowhere. Link didn't move a muscle. "Come on son don't you want to win the princess's heart?" Link shot his eyes open like a person who had just died. He shot his body toward the surface, he broke the water's surface then fell on to the snow coughing and gasping for breath. "Never give up Link, I believe in you my son."

Link was still coughing and gasping for air as he saw his friends run toward him. They carried him to the Goron Shrine trying to keep him warm so he didn't get hypothermia from the cold. Link was rushed into his bed with boiling hot lava rocks near him along with about twenty blankets. Link was still shivering but slowly he stopped to after about five hours. He slowly closed his eyes and drifted off toward sleep knowing he had one thing Deity didn't; love from his friends. Next time he met Deity he was going to save his twin brother or die trying.

The day had passed slowly and the moon was now resting in the sky. Link shot up from his bed huffing and puffing for air. Link looked around; all of his friends were sleeping soundly with light snores filling the air in the room. Link stripped the blankets off of him and rose from his bed. He left his room and walked down the stairs. He was greeted by an elderly looking Goron the moment he reached the bottom of the stairs. "Why hello their sonny, how are you feeling?" the Goron asked with his lip sticking out.

"I'm fine thanks for saving my life earlier" Link replied with a slight bow.

"It was really you friends but thank you for the gesture. I have a question, have you ever been to The Goron Shrine before maybe around fifteen years ago?" the Elderly Goron asked with a soft stutter.

"No, I've never been out of Hyrule before this. You might be thinking of my brother Deity" Link answered as they moved toward the Great Hall.

"No…no, I'm thinking of a boy with blond hair and bright blue eyes. Maybe a relative perhaps?" the Goron asked. Link rolled his eyes knowing exactly who he was talking about. "Well anyway I was hoping you would play a song with me, it's the only way my son can go asleep and my fingers are too cold to play it today. So would be a friend and help an old man out?" the Elderly Goron asked as he looked at his wrinkly fingers.

"Sure but you're going to have to teach me the song you want me to play" Link replied with a soft smile on his face. The Elderly Goron smiled as they moved toward a large room with golden throne at the other side. A medium sized Goron was sitting on the throne tapping his fingers against the ice cold gold of the throne.

"Just do what I do on the drums ok?" the Goron declared as he pulled out a small drum from his pocket. They moved closer toward the Goron on the throne who seemed to smile as they came closer. "Son my friend here is going to help me play our song ok?" the Elderly Goron asked. The other Goron nodded with pure joy on his face.

The Goron started to play a soft beat on his drums just loud enough to give Link the beat of the song. "Da Da Daa Da Daa Da Da Daaa Da Da Daa" Link sang in perfect harmony. The Elderly Goron smiled as his son slowly drifted off to sleep. The old Goron nodded then carried his son off to his bed. Link smiled as he left the room headed toward his room.

He was now one step closer to saving Deity from the darkness and knowing where his father was. But he still had one more hurdle to face and it involved a rather shady man and deal he had made to save his friends.
