Chapter 8 - Nonsensical

"So you're saying I started laughing maniacally and did not stop until a big spider..."

"Little spider."

"Big spider lowered itself with its web onto my shoulder?"

"Pretty much."

"I don't remember any of that."

"You mean the spider?"

"Where?" Link jerked his head left and right to look at his shoulders and swatted at his arms.

"Where what?"

"Ah... we're here!"

"Where?"

"The spider?" Link looked up and stepped back.

"We're where?" asked the fairy.

"The entrance to the boss' lair."

"Oh!"

"Yeah."

They looked at each other for a few seconds in silence. After that, Link turned away and aimed with his slingshot at the webs that held the enormous skeleton he'd seen when entering the dungeon. The fire seed crashed in a wall near the sticky threads and fire spread quickly and hungrily.

"Let's move back," said Link.

It wasn't long before the huge bone structure fell. The impact shook the ground so hard that Link fell on his backside.

"Wow," said Link.

"Now you can cross to the other side using the skeleton as a bridge."

It was true. The two ends of the skeleton had latched to either side of the magma moat. Its huge spine now served as a connecting path that Link could walk on and finally face the final danger of this dungeon.

But the enormous door that led to the boss' lair was closed and secured by a huge padlock.

"Seriously?" yelled Link. "I'm practically walking towards the open maws of a huge and metaphorical wolf, and they're making it hard for me?"

"You did say you still had a room to check before having your little break down."

"I had no break down."

"Sure you did. Right before the spider..."

"Where?"
