Chapter 2

In the weeks that followed Darnu was practically the town celebrity. Everyone enjoyed the festivities were they served the rocks the huge dodingo broke free when it was trying to escape him. They even made use of the dodingo corpse by using it as a storage area for rocks after cutting most of it away and the huge goron at the top of the mountion was so awed at his skill in fighting the beast that he taught Darnu to make his own weapons.

"Well, Darnu. Its been a few weeks and you know everything I have to teach you except one thing. Something I never sell and have taught no one to make until now. The Gorons hammer."

The giant goron and Darnu spent weeks practicing makeing the hammers and more weeks perfecting his abilities until finally Darnu lifted a perfectly flawless hammer from the forge.

"Remember, Darnu. I want the hammer to remain secret. If people know about it I will hear no end of begging for me to make people one of their own. Use it only in extremly dire situations because it will surely serve you well then"

Darnu agreed and wrapped his hammer in cloth and set on his way back to Goron City. Etoo greeted him at the enterance.

"Hail brother! Theres another festival planned but this time there is going to be a Goron fighting competition. Hand to hand only but if you are that good with a sword you must be good with your fists. The leader has agreed to let you enter for free sence the festival is in your honor. What do you say?"

Darnu didn't particularly like the idea but he would loose all respect anyone ever had for him if he looked like a coward so he agreed.

The night of the festival there was barley a single goron what wasn't completely drunk. That single being Darnu. He worried that he might have to fight Etoo when he saw his friend doing so well in the fights. He watched as Etoo blocked a blow from the opponent and struck it in the mouth leaving him unconcious. Just before Darnu was getting ready to fight the leader himself the city started to shake. A few gorons yelled that the huge dodingo was alive and wanting revenge but he knew that couldn't be it cause the gorons cut it up so much. Just then the gorons lept out of the way just in time as a huge serpentine head burst from the cave floor. The gorons were in terror and ran every wich way they could to avoid its firey breath.

Darnu joined several other gorons in the leaders chambers to avoid

the dragon and waited for hours untill the roars and screams died down. Cautiasly Darnu crept from the entrance way and tried with all his might to hold his tears back when he saw the city. Boulders everywere and even more dead gorons than that. A bolt ran up his spine as he saw Etoo under a pile of rocks. He rushed to his friend and was thankful to see he was alive until he saw that he wouldnt be for long.

"B- Brother. It was horrible. I h- have never seen anything like it.

The hole it came from... the place below it is part of the crater. It went back in there. I saw... I saw it eat gorons. If you don't s- stop it.... there won't... be... any.... left" Then he was still.
