LoZ:RC V2 Chapter 5A by laxyaklovesloz

Chapter Five: Gyorg (Part 1 of 2) The rest of the rooms held similar challenges. Mori identified the additional enemies she encountered as Bari, White Wolfos, Ice Chu, Pengators, and Bokoblins. Though each challenge got harder and harder, Lila got bored quickly. To make matters worse, she had to keep running around the castle flipping switches so the water level would be just right. The only thing that made it worth her trouble was the money. Well, and the fact that Lady Ganondra had sent her on the mission. If it weren't for her, she would have turned around and left. Once they had collected the four keys–which all looked the same–Mori and Lila stood in front of the giant door with the lock. She placed each key in the holes. The lock undid itself and dropped to the floor, landing on Lila's toes. "Ow!" she shouted, hopping on one foot. "Quit complaining. At least you have feet," Mori chided. "That's just stupid," Lila said, ignoring the pain. "Let's go. I hope there's some sort of boss battle ahead." "What's a boss battle?" Lila shrugged. "I dunno, but it sounds cool." Without waiting any longer, Lila pushed the heavy door open. It led to dark stairs leading down, which she entered without hesitating. At the end of the stairs, her eyes started adjusting to the dim light. Once again, the light seemed to come from the walls themselves, but they were so far away, they couldn't light up the whole room. The room was so large, it seemed to be the size of the entire castle. She was standing on a balcony, which ran around the edge of the room, just like the entrance to the castle. In the center was a giant pool of water. Something was glowing deep in the middle. Lila stepped to the edge of the pool to get a better look, and the door slammed closed behind her. "Not again!" Mori whined. "Why does this keep happening?" Lila answered, "Obviously it means something important is in here. Maybe it's the chainmail." "But where is it?" "Can't you sense it?" Mori thought for a moment. "Wait, yes I can. It's in the water, where the light is coming from." Lila sighed. "I don't want to have to go swimming in that freezing water anymore. You go get it." "What? Me? How am I supposed to get it?" "I dunno," she sighed again and sat on the edge of the balcony, her legs crossed. She touched the water with her fingertips, sending light ripples through the pool. Just a touch sent shivers down her spine. "Yeah, I'm not going in there again." The ripples in the center of the pool were getting bigger. Lila looked up, hearing a rumbling sound. The light was growing closer, brighter, and larger. It came toward the surface at an amazing speed. "What's that?" Lila wondered, backing away.
