Ciela didn't protest to my actions from the previous room. She didn't say anything at all. We went into the next area silently. I raised my shield and sword, ready for an attacker, but there wasn't one. I relaxed.

This room was huge with four other doors I could see from here. There was an eye looking statue hanging on the wall. Pots were lined down half of that wall.

I went over picking up the first one. I throw it onto the second one. A few arrows fell out. "Sweet," I muttered as I put them in my quiver. I reached inside the other two and grabbed out two arrows and a weird shaped green gem.

"That's a Rupee!" Ciela screams excitedly.

"Why do I give a fu--"

"Rupees are the form of currency!" she interrupts me. 

"Cool," I shrug, "whatever." I walk up to the weird eye thing on the wall. I grabbed my bow and pulled an arrow loose from my quiver. Out of pure reflex, I raise my bow after I hooked the arrow. Once the bow couldn't bend anymore, I let go. The arrow flew perfectly hitting the eye. Down the path a door opened, well disappeared into the ground.

I crossed into that room, where a family of bats "welcomed" me. I lowered my bow after they were all dead.

This room wasn't like the other, this room was a hallway basically. Way at the other end of the room was another door. I would have opened it if I had the key. I returned to the previous, more open space. To my left was the eye I had shot. In front of me there was nothing. Finally, to the right a section of earth went forward. Two vines in a row hung from the ceiling. All perfectly leading to another section of walking area.

I walked over, potentially ready for my death. "Careful!!" Ciela yells. 

I nod, "Thanks, bitch."

I run and jump. My hands met the vine. I literally held on for my life. Using my whole body I swing I make it to the next one. My arms were aching, I had no idea I weighed so much. Then again it could be my sword and such. With one last swing I released and landed with a roll onto the new area. I caught my breath before standing.

Ciela flew near me. "I was worried about you!"

I didn't look at her. "Why, didn't you think I could do it?"

"Of course!" she says.

Without saying anything more, I stood on a square button. A bridge magically forms to the other land. Thank god I never have to do that again. Continuing down the path was a small treasure chest once again. I squared down, taking out the key.
