Finally got to Uploading the next part here. Have fun!

After they caught all the Cuccos and received a pretty bottle for the trouble, they got past the guard to the mountain and went up to Goron City. On the way, they saw what looked like the mouth of a cave with a giant boulder blocking it. A smaller boulder was laying nearby, but when Link walked near this one, it stood up.

"Hi!" said the boulder, "My name is Shale and I'm a Goron. I'm so hungry! Do you happen to have some rocks on you?"

Navi and Link looked at each other.

"No, sorry," replied Link, "I'm looking for the Spiritual Stone of Fire. Do you know where it is?"

"Ah, the tasty looking stone the boss had! Yep, he took it into his room saying, 'I will not come out until the messenger from the Royal Family comes' Probably for the best because my brother Lime looked like he wanted to lick the stone. Boss Darunia's room is on the lower level of Goron City."

"Thanks," said Link, "You guys eat rocks?"

"Yep," replied Shale, "the best tasting are in here." He pointed to the blocked cave opening. "Dodongo's Cavern, but we can't get in as you can see. No rocks taste as good as the ones in there."

"I see, we'd better get going." said Navi, "See you later then!"

At the entrance to Goron City, Link stopped.

"Navi,"

"Yeah?"

"Are you SURE we won't meet a fish princess?"

"What is it with you and fish?"

"They scare me. You can thank Mido for that."

Navi sighed. "Yes Link, I'm sure. I don't even know of any fish princesses in Hyrule."

"OK."

They entered the city.

Once inside, they stopped again, this time in awe. There were about four levels to the city. On the lower level was a giant pot that looked like a Goron. On the second level a really big Goron was rolling around for some reason. Out on a platform a Goron was laying. Link and Navi went out to this platform, walking on one of the ropes. The Goron stood up when they got there.

"Hello, My name is Link."

"Hi, I'm Lime. Did you come out here to lick the stone that was here?"

Navi and Link looked at each other. "Uh, no," said Navi, "We were just wondering why you were here. You're Shale's brother, aren't you?"

"Yep. I came out here to have just a tiny lick of the stone we kept here but Big Brother took it in his room."

"Ah yes," said Link, "Shale told us about that. But if the door is closed, how will he know that the messenger is here?"

"The song of the royal family. Darunia will hear it through the door."

Navi nodded. "That makes sense, let's go there Link. I see a closed door on the lower level, must be it."

They make their way down to the lower level and walked over to the door. A Goron was laying next to it, but stood up at their approach.

"Hi!" he said, "I'm Granite. Big Brother locked himself inside saying 'I am waiting for the messenger from the royal family.' He's stone headed, but fair."

"I think I noticed a trend with the names around here." said Navi, thoughtfully.

"No idea what you could mean by that," replied Granite, looking around furtively, "But if you know the song of the Royal Family, stand on that rug and play."

Link played Zelda's Lullaby and the door slowly opened. He and Navi went inside and saw a big, very angry Goron.

"Who are you? When I heard the song of the Royal Family, I thought their messenger had arrived. You're just a little kid! How dare the King treat me so!"

"Um," said Link.

"SHUT UP!" shouted the Goron, "I am Darunia and I will have my say!"

"Link," said Navi nervously, "you better try something."

Link took out his ocarina and played Saria's Song. When Darunia heard it, he started dancing. A young Goron came in with a boom box playing the Macarena. Darunia liked this better and started dancing faster. Navi and Link looked at each other in horror. Link grabbed the golden bracelet sitting on a table and they ran out of the city as fast as they could.

Outside, Navi and Link stopped to catch their breath.

"Great Goddesses!" cried Navi, "What in Hyrule was that horrible music!"

"I don't think it was from Hyrule," replied Link, "More likely it was from the Underworld."

"Don't let the Lord of the Underworld hear you say that. Who knows what that white-eyed bastard would send after us!"

"You're right, Navi. I see a Bomb Flower over there. Let's grab it and throw it down. We might be able to hit Shale!"

"Extra points if you hit him in the back of the neck!"

"He has a neck?"

"Not sure, but in the head would be close enough."

Link grabbed the Bomb Flower and tossed it down. He didn't hit Shale, but the boulder blocking the cavern was destroyed.

"Ha! Link, you owe me 50 Rupees! But since we can go in the cavern now, maybe Darunia would like it if we got rid of those pesky Dodongos for him."

"If he can pull himself away from that awful music."

They walked down to the cavern entrance, where Shale was sitting in a daze.

"Oh, hi guys," he said, "Funny thing. I felt an explosion and the big rock blocking the cavern completely shattered. One piece hit me in the neck and one in the head."

"What neck?" asked Navi. Link just smiled at Navi, making her realize he had won the bet.

"I have a neck! If I didn't, my head would fall off."

"Good point," said Link, "I never thought about that."

"You never think about anything anyway," said Navi, still mad that Link won the bet.

"You guys should go into the cavern," suggested Shale, "Brother Darunia would be happy that someone got eaten by... I mean... got rid of the Dodongos."

"Ok, Navi," said Link happily, "Let's go!"

They entered the cavern and encountered a rock wall. Link saw a Bomb Flower nearby, looked at the wall and smiled knowingly. Navi was relieved that he seemed to be catching on. Next thing she knew an explosion knocked her to the ground as Link had thrown the Bomb Flower at her.

"LINK!" she shouted, "THROW IT AT THE DAMN WALL!"

"But, you are a harder target and I wanted to see how good my aim is."

"What kind of lousy excuse is that!" Navi angrily grabbed the Bomb Flower and threw it at the door.

"How did you even lift that?" asked Link in astonishment.

"I got quite a workout using your slingshot in the Deku Tree."

They went together into the next room. A giant Dodongo skull leered at them, with a Beamos in front of it. Two platforms raised and lowered on either side of where the Beamos stood.

"Ok," said Link, "Where do we go?"

Navi looked around. "Well," she said thoughtfully, We can't go through that door because of the bars. Let's try going to the right and start throwing Bomb Flowers around. Behind one of those walls must be a way through. Just don't hit me with a bomb again!"

Link sighed. "Talk about taking the fun out of a place. Alright, let's get moving."

They jumped over to the right ledge, narrowly missing being hit by the Beamos and used a Bomb Flower to take the one on the ledge out. They bombed the wall nearest the Bomb Flower but all that was there was a Gossip Stone, so they tried the one near where the Beamos was. After the smoke cleared, Navi and Link saw their target. They smiled at each other and went through the opening. After avoiding the baby Dodongos, they found a couple Armos statues that they couldn't agree on if they were dead or alive.

"Navi, these guys are alive! They're just waiting for us to touch them!"

"No, they are not. I don't know what it is, but they look a bit different than live ones."

"I will bet you 50 Rupees that they are alive."

"Agreed. I will prove they are dead." Navi flew into the nearest one, and fell to the ground unconscious. She had hit it very hard but it remained motionless.

Link could barely breathe since he was laughing so hard. He put a purple Rupee next to Navi and pushed one of the statues onto the switch. He sat on the platform near the door and waited for Navi to wake up, glad that the tables seemed to have turned.

She woke up about 20 minutes later. Link was still on the platform, examining his Hylian Shield.

"Navi, are we ready after your nap?"

Navi turned red with anger but didn't say anything since it was her own fault. Link appreciated the silence and they went through the door.

After a corridor with two Keese and a couple pots, they went through another door and found themselves locked in with two Lizalfos. Link drew his sword, preparing for the attack.

"Alright, come on! I could use a new lizard-skin pack!" he cried.

Navi was surprised. The look on Link's face was calm and focused. He seemed to be maturing a bit. Maybe he really could save Hyrule... if he didn't keep falling on his face.

Ten minutes later, both Lizalfos were defeated and Link was having a sip of Lon-Lon Milk to regain some energy.

"Link, um, are you okay?"

Link looked over from where he sat near the door. "Yeah," he said, "why?"

Navi looked sort of embarrassed. "Well, you fought two kinda big scaly things and acted like a real warrior."

Link looked around, then shrugged. "I don't know about the warrior bit, but there's something about this place. It's very different from the forest, but I sort of like it here."

Shrugging herself, Navi said, "Must be a guy thing. You know, liking lizards and bombs and things."

"But not spiders," added Link, laughing nervously, "just keep those things away from me!"

Navi laughed. "Ok, I'll take care of the spiders. Let's get going."

They made their way through the next room which had a few Dodongos and went through the door. Link pressed down a switch which turned out to unlock a door on the opposite side of the main room. They made their way through this door and Link's eyes lit up with happiness. There was a giant staircase with Bomb Flowers all around it. Navi felt a sense of foreboding and hoped Link had some more milk handy, she felt she was going to need it.

Sure enough, Link went crazy picking the Bomb Flowers and threw them everywhere. One made the staircase shorter, but most hit Navi who was flying everywhere trying to avoid them. Finally she got quite miffed and hit Link upside the head to get him to stop.

"Ugh, finally," she sighed, taking a sip of milk, "While I'm waiting, I'll get those Skulltulas up there."

Link woke up, all bombing urges gone and went up the staircase.

"Is this place big, or is it just me?" he asked Navi.

"Well, you ARE just a kid," she replied, "everything should look big."

"Should look even bigger to you."

"Seeing as I'm doing a lot here, I'm feeling big!"

"Well, you still look small."

Navi glowed red again but only pushed Link toward the door.

The next room was easily passed through, but through the next passage was a very high up bridge. Link gulped, remembering his fall from his house. Then he remembered how high his house was and how silly a fear of heights would be. He ran happily across the bridge, being set on fire by the two Keese, but not caring. Made it through the next room with no problem, except Navi getting sliced by a passing blade in the passageway.

"Burns, bashes, and bruises," she grumbled, "I hope my insurance company pays for this."

"What's insurance?" asked Link.

"That explains a lot."

"AFLAC!" cried a passing duck.

Navi's eye twitched. "Okay, that was random. Who is writing this script anyway?"

"There's a script?" asked Link, "I thought we were just winging it."

"I am, since I happen to have wings," said Navi proudly, "But you're tripping!"

"Ok, enough with the bad jokes, lets move on."

After a flame pillar, another heroic Lizalfos battle, and another two flame pillars, our heroes were starting to feel like they knew what they were doing. Well, Navi did anyway.

What was left of Link's mind went away when he got his own bomb bag.

Link laughed diabolically, Navi started to feel Hyrule was doomed.

Link finally found his way back to reality and he and Navi went through the next passageway. They ended up on a high ledge back in the main room. Link pressed down a switch that made it easier to get back up in case of clumsiness. They saw a plaque that said, "Giant dead Dodongo... When it sees red, a new way to go will be open."

"Oh, at least now we know it really is dead." said Link, sighing in relief.

"It's coming through a solid wall and has empty eye sockets and you thought it was alive?"

"Well, it's big and scary. Besides it looks like it's moving."

Navi sighed. "Why do I bother."

They dropped bombs from above, watching them explode and turn the eye sockets of the skull red. Sure enough, the mouth opened, revealing another door. Link dropped another bomb down, taking out the Beamos, then jumped down to the platform it was on.

"Nice move!" said Navi, impressed.

"I should show some maturity, if I am to save this place."

"I'll remind you of that the next time you scream when you see a spider."

They went through the door.

"That reminds me, who would put metal doors in a cave?" asked Link

"Maybe a couple of the Gorons are metal workers." suggested Navi.

Link nodded. "They would need to keep in practice, makes sense."

They looked around at the layout of the room.

"Good Goddesses, I hate Fire Keese." Link sighed.

"Relax," said Navi, "I think we're almost done with this place."

"That's what you said five rooms ago."

"I haven't been out of the forest either, how would I know?"

Link shook his head, took out his slingshot and shot the Keese out of the air before they knew anyone was there.

"How did you do that?"

Link shrugged. "At least I won't end up with my pants on fire."

"You don't wear pants. Now that I think on it, what do you wear under that tunic anyway?"

"Uh, we should move on Navi, the readers might be getting impatient."

Navi sighed in disappointment. "Fine, Mr. No-Pants."

They got through that room and after putting a block into a hole in another room, found themselves facing what looked like a dead end with only a chest.

"Did we miss something?" asked Navi. "We must've skipped a room."

Link looked around thoughtfully. "I don't think so." He walked up to a dark, square-shaped spot on the floor and put a bomb there. When it exploded, it revealed a hole.

"Well I'll be dipped." said Navi in shock. "How did you notice that when I didn't? I'm supposed to be the smart, observant one."

"Actually, I think you are just around to annoy the people who played this game and act as bomb fodder."

"Damn it, Link! You take that back!"

"Nope!" Link replied, jumping in the hole.

"I hope you get eaten." muttered Navi, flying down after him.

Link landed on his butt in a large room.

"Ouchies!"

"Well, you should've landed easier."

"I can't fly like you!"

Behind them, they heard a loud thumping. Link turned around slowly and saw a HUGE Dodongo roaring at him.

"GREAT HOLY GODDESSES!" he cried.

"This darn thing is huge! How are you supposed to beat him?!"

"I thought you were the brains of this outfit!"

"No, I'm just the annoying one."

"Thanks a lot!" Link dodged a billowing of flame. "Wait a second here, I think I have an idea."

When King Dodongo opened his mouth to breathe more fire, Link threw a bomb inside. The beast closed his mouth in surprise, then the bomb exploded which caused King Dodongo to fall down. Link swiped him with his sword. The Dodongo tried to roll over him and flatten him, but Link imitated a turtle with the Hylian shield. They went through this a couple more times. With one final slash, King Dodongo was defeated. Link sat down panting.

"Holy Hyrule! That was tough!"

"I have to admit," said Navi, sitting down on Link's shoulder, "You did pretty well. I think you might actually pull this off."

Link smiled. "Thanks Navi. Let's go back and tell Darunia their problems are over."

"I bet they'll be happy they can eat their favorite rocks again."

When the two exited, Link heard a noise. He dodged out of the way just before Darunia came crashing down from Goron City.

"Well, done kid!" cried Darunia, clapping Link on the shoulder. Of course he didn't know how strong he was and knocked him to the ground.

"Well," said Navi, sighing, "He's unconscious again."

"Oops," Darunia rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "Well, when he wakes up, tell him that he and I are Sworn Brothers. He laid the Goron's Ruby on Link's foot and walked off.

"Uh, what?" Link woke up.

"You and Darunia are Sworn Brothers."

"What does that mean?"

"No idea."

Two Gorons nearby cheered for Link, who put the Goron's Ruby in a pouch.

"Yay! How about a Goron Hug, Brother?!" They lumbered toward him. Link screamed and ran off, Navi holding onto his hat and laughing.

"Well," said Link, sitting down and resting after escaping from grateful Gorons, "Where to next?"

"I haven't any idea." replied Navi, "Hey! Call Saria using your Ocarina. Maybe she knows."

"How can she know when, like me, she hasn't even been out of the forest?"

"You can never tell, maybe she's destined to be a Sage or something like you were destined to be a hero so she has to know this stuff."

"Not likely," Link took out the Fairy Ocarina. "I'll try it though."

He played Saria's Song and heard Saria's voice in his head.

"You have reached Florence, Saria is not in right now... Just kidding, it's me. What's up, Link?"

Link sighed. Same old Saria. "Navi and I were wondering if you knew anything about where the next Spiritual Stone might be. We already have Forest and Fire."

"Then the last one would be Water. Zora's Sapphire. I'd go to Zora's Domain and ask their king. He's easy to recognize, being the biggest, fattest, laziest Zora in all of Hyrule."

"How do you know this stuff anyway?" asked Link.

He could feel Saria shrug. "Don't know." she replied, "It just is there."

"Alright, take care, Saria!"

"Come back to visit! Bye, Link!"

Link and Navi looked at each other. "Ok," Navi said, "Let's head over to Zora's Domain."

"Where is it?" asked Link.

"Easy! Just follow the flow of the river upstream. All water flows from Zora's Domain."

"Sounds logical, let's go!"
