Disclaimer: Souldragon12: Okay! I got the ice cream!

Link: Yeah!

Midna: Hey Soul?

Souldragon12: Yeah?

Midna: Is it just me, or am I seeing four cartoon-like Links

climbing all over your Palkia?

Souldragon12: Oh no! Who let them out?

*Midna and Souldragon12 turn to Link*

Link:……………..Uh, oops?

Chapter 15

Kakariko Village: Foot of Death Mountain

Midna's P.O.V

Link, Zelly, and I were at the base of Death Mountain and already the heat was starting to becoming an issue.

I'm not completely sure why, but maybe it has something to do with this Nether-light. I was on Zelly's back, and already she and Link were both panting. And we weren't even on Death Mountain yet!

We were searching the village for the residents, but instead, Zelly was once again jumped by the Hell Beasts.

Link recognized the bastard's scent as Barns, the Bomb Shop owner. So, this twisted twilight not only corrupted the Spirits, but the people too. What's next? A Twili-Deku hybrid? Ha! I think not!

Since we can't fight these beasts, we decided that we should search for Zelda's Fire Soul. We quickly eluded the Hell Beasts and headed toward the firey mountain. We had searched near the howling stone but with no possible luck. I was starting to get board, so to ease my boredom, I decided to annoy the white and bronze fox I was riding for excitement.

I yawned loudly and stretched.

"What's taking you two so long?" I asked, rather rudely.

Zelly snorted and growled irritably, "Why don't you do me a favor and get your lazy black and white ass off my back?"

Link was just behind us, probably laughing his tail off. Now, I wasn't going to take that. And I certainly wasn't going to have any back-bark from one of my own pets. I needed to show my little ignorant fox just who's boss.

So, I grabbed Zelly's left ear and yanked it, hard.

She gave an earsplitting, high-pitched yelp and tried to throw me off, but I held on tightly to the fur on her neck.

It was just like when I first met Link. Ah, sweet memories.

He'd had tried to throw me off his back in the same manner that Zelly was. Link sat on his hunches and watched Zelly buck like a wild Twili-Elk.

This went on for about another ten minutes before Zelly finally figured out that I wasn't going anywhere.

She collapsed into a heap on the dusty, bone-dry, cracked ground, eyes closed and panting heavily. I was still on her back when she was in this state. I ginned crookedly and laughed with crule sarcasm creeping into my voice, "Hmm… I guess you're not completely stupid after all!"

Link padded over to Zelly.

He put his snout down near her ear growled gently,

"And so goes the great courageous fox, whom so valintly tried to overthrow the evil war goddess, but fell like the many before her. Alas! She was so young too. Her memory shall ever be held close to my heart." I stifled a giggle at the nickname Link gave me. Though I'm hardly not evil.

Zelly cracked an eye open.

Then she snarled angrily, " You're lucky I'm tired, because if I wasn't then you better bet I'd would personally tear out your goddess damn liver and chuck it off the highest damn cliff I could find and watch it fall into the bottomless abyss of Hell."

Link gave a bark-like laugh.

"Uh-oh. My Lady, it looks like this one came back for revenge, what shall I do with her?"

I laughed and drifted into the air.

"Hmm, that depends…oh I know! I'll just give her a bath and see if that calms her down!"

Zelly stood up and shook the dirt from her fur.

Once she was up, I sat back on her.

"Better? Got all of that fire out?" I said, rubbing her side.

"Just a little. I don't know, maybe I should've rested," she whined.

I crossed my arms thought out loud, "You know, I think we're near the Fire Soul."

Link padded away from a gesyer that just began to blow out hot steam and sulfur.

"What makes you say that?" Zelda panted.

I took my time before I'd answered.

"Well, I noticed your emotions seem to change depending on the enviroment you're in. You blew up at me just now and you threatened that you would tear Link's intestines out."

"Uh, Midna, I think she said liver," corrected Link.

I rolled my eye and replied, "Liver, intestines, whatever! My point is that Zelly's emotions are a kind of signal to her Elements. So, lets get going."

And we did. None of us spoke for a long while. We climbed higher on our way to the mountain.

Then the twilight runes on Zelly started to shimmer in liquid gold. The Soul Force star on her head began to shine bright red.

"Hey! Zelly, you're glowing! We must have found the Fire Soul!" I exclaimed excitedly.

Link came up with us and he started to dig where we were standing. Zelly joined him so it would be twice as fast.

At first, the whole thing seemed pointless, but soon, Zelly was glowing even brighter then before. "Keep going guys! You're almost there!" I encouraged them.

They dug a little deeper when a bright red light appeared.

We found it!

There was a small pit where Link and Zelly had gouged the earth. And in the pit was a bright red crystal in the shape of an ember. I dismounted Zelly and retrieved the Soul, then I mounted the fox.

Wow, this was long!
