Link looked around the cavern and instantly he started to sweat.
"Why," he panted, "is it so hot in here?"
"Oh! Let me think," the fairy paused, "one, it’s close to a volcano. Two, what’s that red stuff in the middle of the room? Oh! It’s lava, idiot." he snapped.
He looked at Link. He looked faint from the heat. His eyes were half closed. Suddenly, he shook himself and walked into the cave.
‘I hope he’s okay.’ thought Rekhyt as Link began to sway.
‘I have to concentrate or I’m in some really, really, deep crap!’ he thought.
He steadied himself. The room was very big; it had some kind of ledge in front of Link. A platform was rising and falling repeatedly. Beyond it was a Bemos (as Rekhyt called it) and behind it was a stone in the shape of a dinosaur. There are two more rising and falling platforms on the sides. Link was trying to decide which way to go. Suddenly, he took off his Deku Shield and put on his brand new Hylian Shield. It was way too big for him.
"Why did you put THAT shield on Link?" he asked.
"Because," Link replied, "my other shield would burn up... duh!"
Rekhyt could tell he was agitated. He bit back a retort and was silent for a while. He chose to go to the left. A Beamos was there. Since Rekhyt was quiet, Link had to figure out how to fight the creature himself. It wasn’t very hard. He picked up a bomb flower, timed it right and threw the bomb... he missed (shows what good aim he has!) but it turns out that not the bomb but the smoke killed the Beamos.
"Well that wasn’t so hard. I’ll have to remember how to beat those things." he mumbled to himself.
He walked over to where the Beamos was and went through the door that was behind the Beamos. Inside, there was a hallway. There were some very odd-looking statues there. He walked forward with caution in his steps. All of a sudden two green lizard-like things came up from under the ground. They charged at Link who stood rooted at the spot in shock. He recovered just in time. The thing jumped at him. Link cut it in two. But from behind him the other one caught him off guard. He gritted his teeth in pain. He turned. He slashed. The lizard was dead. He ran down the hall. Three more lizards met him. He just ran from them in panic. He reached the end of the hall, climbed up onto the ledge. Link was just pulling himself up when one of the lizards jumped on him. He cursed under his breath. He shot it with his slingshot. The thing exploded.
"WOAH!" Link screamed, "Didn’t see that coming. Whew! I hate those things."
"They were Baby Dodongo’s." said a high voice. Link looked at Rekhyt.
"Oh, so NOW ya’ talk. A little late anyway." said the boy, heatedly.
"By the way... ya’ handled them very well indeed." said the little fairy smirking.
"Shaddup Rekhyt. Just shut up."
He was very angry now. He moved over to the statues, pulled one of them onto the switch. The door opened. Link went through. This room was full of lava and had some platforms. Two lizards dropped down from the ceiling.
"What are that things?" asked Link, shocked, "Not more lizards. I hate lizards."
"I thought you hated spiders." said Rekhyt, "Oh yeah before you get furious again... those ‘things’ are called Lizafols. Kind of like ninja lizards."
He looked at Link smugly; he was changing his shield again.
The Lizafols jumped over the platforms to get to him. Rekhyt was right, they were like ninja lizards they certainly fought like it.
"Holy... crap," Link panted with the effort to keep up with the monsters, "these things are... fast. This is... har-owww!" One of the lizards had got under his defenses and struck him. He got a shallow cut on his side.
"Okay," he gasped, "now I’m pissed off! Die, lizards, die!" he fought like a maniac.
He finally killed one of the lizards. It only took him about oh, say, five or ten minutes!
"Fight like that more often and you’ll never get hurt again!"
"Rekhyt?" Link was still grappling with the other Lizafols.
"Yeees?"
"No... dis- woah... distractions. Please."
He said ‘please’ just as he cut the lizard. It fell down dead. A little bit of blood was still coming out of his side but it was nothing to worry about. He sat down to rest for a little bit and to wait for his side to stop bleeding. It stopped bleeding after about three minutes. He got up gingerly. Link looked around to find a door.
"Hey, Link, there is a door right behind you. Go through there." Rekhyt said looking at the door.
"Rekhyyyt," said Link, sounding stressed, "that’s the door we just came through. Idiot!"
Just then he found the door he was looking for. He hopped over to the door while resisting the urge to throw Rekhyt into the boiling hot lava. He opened it and ran down a loooong hallway. He stopped running just in time. There was a platform in the center of the room. Another hallway was beyond the platform.
"Well... what are you waiting for? Just jump over!"
Typical Rekhyt, he wasn’t looking forward. A ring of fire was on the platform in the center of the room.
"I can’t." Link stated flatly.
"Why not?" asked the small annoying fairy.
"Look ahead of you, genius!"
Rekhyt looked forward. "Oh sorry. Hey by the way... how’s your side? You okay?" he asked with false concern.
Link ignored him. He looked up and saw an eye. He got an idea. He brought out his Fairy Slingshot, took careful aim and hit the eye. The flame went out.
"How’s THAT, Rekhyt?" asked Link, sneering.
"Oh, um, uh... I knew that." said Rekhyt. He looked putout.
Link jumped quickly over the platform before the flames came back up. He was running down the hall when he saw something-green pop up.
"Ohhh great!" Link groaned, "Not these things again."
He pulled out his sword and stood in a fighter stance ready to battle the lizards. ‘Wait,’ he thought, ‘what am I doing? Why waste my time?’
"LINK!" Rekhyt shouted, "LINK WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
"I’m running from these things in panic... what does it look like?" Link yelled in reply, making his way to the door.
Link was shocked when he got to the end of the hall... he was unscathed. He went through the door.
"Hunh." muttered Link, "This looks oddly familiar... oh yeah! This looks like the room we were in about fifteen minutes ago... then that means... Ohhhh... no! Not again.." he trailed off.
"What?" asked his stupid fairy. Then he looked up. "Oh never mind..."
Two Lizafols dropped down from the ceiling. Link groaned and drew his sword. He beat them faster this time cause he was kinda used to their fighting style.
When he defeated both lizards, a chest dropped down. As Link made his way to it he thought, ‘Man what else is up in the ceiling?’ When he reached the chest he opened it and found... bombs!
"COOOL!" yelled Link jumping for joy, "Now I can blow things up! Nice!"
"So... ya’ gonna keep goin’ or what?"
Startled, Link looked up, "Huh? Oh, oh yeah. I’m goin’. I’m goin’."
Link went to the other door and went through. He was high up now. A bridge was in front of them; a sign was next to it. It read: To open the Dodongo’s mouth, make it’s eyes see red.
Link knew exactly what to do... unfortunately... Rekhyt didn’t.
"Link, what’re you do-"
Link cut him off, "Shut up Rekhyt! At least I know what to do!"
Link ran onto the bridge and threw two bombs down into the Giant Dodongo’s eyes. They glowed red and the giant mouth opened.
‘Now,’ thought Link, ‘I could either spend the next ten minutes getting to the bottom. Orrrr I could save some time and just jump down...’ Link chose the latter.
He jumped down and landed right in front of the mouth and behind the Beamos. Link gulped and ran back into the door behind him.
"Okay," said Link, he sounded annoyed, "not these guys again!"
Bet ya’ know who Link’s talking about! Yup! Lizafols were patrolling the area. He jumped down and rushed in recklessly. He lashed out with his sword. When he was done, he was panting. He then advanced into the next room. Inside, there was a chest but when the boy looked at the floor, he saw something odd... the floor was discolored. He got an idea; he ran over to the odd colored floor and placed a bomb. Link stepped back so he wouldn’t be caught in the blast. When the smoke cleared there was a huge hole in front of boy and fairy. Link ignored it for the time. Instead, he opened the chest and got some bombs.
"Thought so!" he said before jumping down the hole.
When he landed, he heard a roar! He spun around and was face to face with a gigantic dinosaur. Link’s mouth dropped open as he stared in shock.
"W- what IS that thing?" he yelled. Rekhyt was under Link’s hat.
He poked his head out, "It’s called King Dodongo!" he said before disappearing into Link’s hat again.
The dinosaur all of a sudden turned into a ball and started to roll towards Link. Thinking fast, Link ducked and prayed that he wouldn’t be squished. As a matter of fact... it rolled right over him. Link stood up and turned at the same time as the ‘King’ did. The dodongo inhaled and Link threw a bomb into its open mouth. He fell down stunned. Link ran up to the ‘King’ and began hacking away at it. He repeated this process a couple of times until he was defeated.
King Dodongo was too weak to fight. It tried to roll into Link one more time. Instead he rolled right into the lava and was instantly destroyed.(You’d think that since he lived in a volcano he wouldn’t mind rolling into lava) Link heaved a sigh of relief and grabbed the Heart Container and stepped into the blue light. Like last time he felt refreshed.
He appeared in front of the cavern. He looked around surprised. Just then he remembered that Rekhyt was still under his hat.
"You can come out now ya’ stupid fairy!" he said.
Rekhyt poked his head out and then flew out of his hat.
Just then he heard a thump, he jumped and looked behind him. The big Goron was there.
"I didn’t think you’d make it out! Sorry I didn’t introduce myself earlier. My name is Darunia! Here take this..." He handed Link the Goron’s Ruby. "Oh and by the way... you are now my sworn brother weather you like it or not! Everybody, let’s give him a big ‘Goron Hug!’"
Two more Gorons came down. Link ran away screaming.
He heard Darunia yell something at him, "You should visit the Great Fairy that lives on top of Death Mountain if you want to get stronger!"
Link didn’t stop running! Even Rekhyt was having trouble keeping up with him!
