Day 7 - Death Mountain

As I walked up the path to Death Mountain, I encountered my first Goron up on the cliff. He shouted at me that no human was going to get past him. I huffed and climed up the metal wires. As I got up, I saw him roll himself into a ball like an armadillo and roll towards me. I put my hands out to stop him, like I would a ranch goat, but he knocked me right off the cliff. Seering pain shot itself through my back and I groaned. He shouted that I should have listened then walked away. I got up and rubbed my back. I wasn't going to be able to get past them like this. I needed help. I ran back down the path and called for Epona. I knew exactly who to go to, I thought as I hopped on.

I high-tailed it all the way back to my village, Ordon. As I pulled Epona to a stop in front of my house, I took an a big breath of the village air. It smelled as sweet as ever. I gave Epona a quick pat then took off for the mayor's house. I knocked on the door, waited a couple seconds and saw the door creak open. The mayor, as stout as ever, had a huge smile on his face and welcomed me in. He asked me of Ilia and I didn't know what to say. He sighed and shook his head, saying nevermind. After a few seconds of silence, I asked him to help me with the Gorons. He looked at me funny then agreed. They tested strength so I had to do a few sumo wrestling matches with him. After I beat him two times, he gave me iron boots. He said they would help. I thanked him, ran out, got on Epona, and high-tailed it back to Death Mountain.

I arrived, once again, at the entrance to the Mountain and slowly got off of Epona. I patted her and I ran up the mountain trail. I confronted the Goron again, with him calling me a pathetically stubborn human. I quickly strapped on the iron boots and he rolled toward me. This time, I grabbed him and threw him off the cliff. I dusted my hands off and took off the boots. Victory was in the bag. I smoothly climbed up to the top of Death Mountian, slicing and throwing Gorons all over the place. When I arrived at the top to meet with the elder, I strapped on the boots, walked in and saw six Gorons about to kill me. The elder shouted enough and walked out. He gave me a weird smile and chuckled when I challanged him. He agreed. I got ready and I beat him easy. He said that I worthy to go through and save the Patriarch.

I ran through the door, only, once again, to be confronted by a mass of doorways and monsters. It was another dungeon. I shouldn't have been so surprised. I ran around, slicing up everything in my path, with the ocasionally case of using my iron boots to walk on the ceiling and walls. As I got to the doorway of the final battle, I found a bow and some arrows. I was excited and put it in a place where I could grab it easily. When through two more doors, and arrived at the boss's door. I put the main key it and the chain fell to the ground. The door opened and I ran inside. Inside was the most fearsome looking creature I've ever seen. It opened its eyes, roared, lit itself on fire, and broke loose from its chains. I admit, I was a bit freaked out. After a few minutes of fight, roaring, pulling, and falling, I finally freed the patriarch from the Twilight's curse. A shadow piece came flying out and Midna grabbed it. She giggled and asked me to get ready to go. She warped me out of the dungeon and back to the village. It was time to head off to our next destination.

Day 6 - To the Rescue!

I saw Epona running in from the entrance of the village. My eyes widened in shock and I pushed everyone out of the way. I jumped, grabbing her neck, and pulled myself on her. I quickly calmed her down and stroked her neck. She shook her head and stamped her foot. Suddenly, the sound of more hoves came up quickly behind me. A stampeed of something big was coming our way. As the dust cleared, I saw it was those monsters that had attacked Ilia, Colin and myself. They came running into the village with full speed and blood thirsty eyes. One of the kids was right in their path and I was too far away to get to her. Suddenly, Colin came from the side and pushed her out of the way. One of the monsters grabbed him and left the village, his followers right behind him.

I raced out of village, riding Epona, pushing her to go faster. I caught up with the leader who was heading north to Hyrule. I pulled out my sword and mercilessly wailed on him. He then pulled away from me and his lackies caught up. I pulverized them and ran back to the leader. I soon knocked off all of his armor and he ran to a bridge thing. He was on the far side as I came in. One of this lackies lit the fence behind me on fire so I couldn't escape. The leader wanted a joust. I readied my sword and charged forward. He did the same. As we neared, I thrust the sword with all my might, knocking him off into the cliff below. Epona raised up and neighed loudly, which threw me a bit off gaurd.

I saw Colin lying on the ground a few yard in front of me. I picked him up and headed south back toward Kakriko Village. When he finally opened his eyes, I was off Epona and everybody was around me with smiling faces. He looked at me and I gave him a soft smile. I heard him say something, smile at me, then went back to being unconcious. The Elder took him from me and said that they would take care of him. I nodded, taking a quick glance up at Death Mountain. I had to go up there to solve the problems with the Gorons. The Elder warned me that the Gorons were acting strange and were being mean to every human. I nodded and headed up towards the mountain.

Day 6 - Kakariko Village

While walking out of my village, I saw that special type of grass I used to call Epona back with. When I blew on it, nothing happened. I wasn't happy, to say the least. So I kept going and finally made it to Hyrule Field. As I walked to the field, monsters were strewn everywhere. I ran out and slaughtered every monster I was faced with. When I finally reached my destination, I realized that this providence was covered with Twilight as well. I sighed in frustration and asked Midna to take me into the Twilight. She giggled, disappeared, grabbed me from beyond the wall and pulled me in. I was immediatly transformede back to my wolf form.

As I walked further into the village, I saw Twilight monsters running around like crazy. I fought with all my strength and when the monsters were gone, I ran into a room and saw the spirits of a few villagers and the children from Ordon! I listened in closely to their converstation and learned of a hidden doorway. I then pushed a large pedestal thing out the way, bewhildering the villagers, and ran into the hole. I found a few large monsters then went to the spring above. The spirit told me to collect more Tears and quickly. I did as I was told and ran around collecting the Tears like a madman, fighting larger Twilight monsters along the way.

Once I was finished, I delivered the tears to the spirit. It thanked me and the village returned to normal. Twilight was no where to be seen. I returned to my original form and I heard Midna giggle as she reverted herself as my shadow. The villagers and children came out and greeted me happily. As we were talking, I heard a loud whiny from a distance...
