"I am not letting go of that stone! If Impa wants it so badly, tell her to come and deal with this mess Ganondorf has caused me! Better yet, she can explain why Ganondorf has not been brought before the Royal Council to answer for his actions!" Darunia turned away from Link, looking down at a stone bench behind him. On it lay a polished hammer engraved with runes along its side. It was not the runes that captured Link's attention, but rather the fact that the head of the giant hammer was nearly as big as he was. Darunia grasped its handle tightly with both hands, and for a horrible moment, Link feared he was going to end up splattered against the wall. Wary, he twisted around towards the door, prepared to make a run for it.

"I should have killed that Gerudo on sight. He is trouble." Darunia growled, his gravelly voice deepening. He didn't lift the hammer, and while Link was relieved, he didn't take that as a sign that he could relax. "I cannot risk the stone falling into his hands. Do you have any idea what would happen if he got it? Things would get far worse, not just for the Gorons, but for all of the Ten Kingdoms."

[proud, happy] I shall name all my children after you! If it's a girl.. well, I'll call her Linkle,

"Now I must name all my children after you," Darunia said proudly.

Link pulled back from Saria's embrace and glared at Darunia, not in the slightest bit amused.

"What if it's a girl?" Nabooru asked curiously.

Darunia shrugged. "Then I shall name her Linkle."

"Linkle?" Ruto asked incredulously."What kind of a name is that?"

Darunia shrugged, his brief mirth quickly fading as he pressed a hand to his blackened side.
