Into the Fire

Deep were the sands of the Gerudo desert. A couple of riders rode through this Haunted Wasteland. The stallions were starting to tire but the riders urged them on. The wind whipped in their faces, threatening to swallow them completely. But they were Gerudo and they knew the dangers of their desert. They were born and raised in constant threat of the desert sandstorms.

Soon they made it to the edge of where the Haunted Wasteland ended and the Goron Mountains began. Entering the crevice that separated the desert from the mountains, the two riders stopped their horses for a small rest.

They sat in stony silence for only a few minutes before they set their horses off at a trot pace. They rode for a good half an hour until the going became too dangerous to continue at that pace. The two riders fell into single line. A dun followed by a pitch black. The rider on the dun knew that if she didn't take him to his destination it would be the end of her.

The rider on the black horse was none other than Ganondorf Dragmire, King of the Gerudos and royal advisor to the King of Hyrule. Because Hyrule had a King, not many of the neighbouring races could. They were part of the same country and therefore were under him. Ganondorf had come to hate the King, and his daughter. He wanted to be ruler of Hyrule and to do that was to obtain the three gems and the Triforce.

This journey through the mountains lasted for about three suns and three moons, little did they talk and they stopped for a short interval. As the sun rose on the fourth day, the duo finally reached the shrine. Long ago the Gorons had built the shrine and placed Din's Ruby within it. But Ganondorf found out that the Triforce of Power also could be found in the shrine. The rider on the dun retreated from her horses back and waited for Ganondorf's command.

"Nabooru, what are you waiting for. Enter the shrine and retrieve that of which I desire," Ganondorf snarled at the Gerudo. "Yes, my lord," Nabooru said curtly and with a slightly curled lip. She hated Ganondorf. The only reason she had agreed to come with him was so that she would stay in the realm of the living. If Ganondorf wanted something he usually got it.

Carefully the Gerudo entered the sacred shrine, and approached the altar that held Din's Ruby. Shining brilliantly above the gem, the golden Triforce of Power floated. Nabooru could only stare at it until the scream of an angry beast brought her back to reality.

Volvagia, guardian of the shrine had sensed the intruder within his shrine. Nabooru acted quickly. Racing forward she reached out and was able to grab the gem and the gold. The fire dragon gave a mighty roar and she knew that it wasn't far away. She made a dash for the shrine entrance and was met with the head of the red dragon. She then quickly skittered around a corner and ran down another passage until she found an exit. She had made it outside. Gasping for air, she heard the dragon roar again. She looked up and saw that the dragon was circling the shrine and was ready to sauté her. She also saw Ganondorf a little ways off watching the dragon with mild interest. She ripped a strip of cloth off of her pants and wrapped the jewels together. And she took her bow and with an arrow pierced through the cloth, fired the package at Ganondorf. She glanced up as the dragon and saw the fire coming straight for her.

She screamed a scream of fear before she fell victim to the dragon's fire. Ganondorf smirked at his unfortunate companion. The dragon had done the killing for him. He was planning to kill the girl anyway. Grabbing the reins of Nabooru's horse, he set off for Hyrule, going the rest of the way down the mountain pass to the exit at the base of one mountain.
