I was trailing after her, not as fast as she was moving, though I kept up as best I could. I paced myself though, it would do me no good to arrive in the temple exhausted. I didn't look back for the others though, they could catch up when we arrived at the island in the center. My mind was on what sort of defenses the temple might have, and I hadn't even noticed how far we had already gone. When I did notice that we were almost halfway there, I looked back over my shoulder in suprise to see if the others had followed.
 
Annoyed that he hadn't heard a word I had said, I stood on teh shore with my arms crossed firmly across my chest. I glared out at him over the water. I had no intention of going there without my weapon. Heck, the only reason why I was going there in the first place was to get him to stop nagging.

though there was also the fact that he may be right, and I didn't dare give up the chance to find out...
 
"Well, now what?" I asked, hoping Tiamat could hear me in the water, as I looked back at the shore and the stubborn zora. "Should we wait for him to get his weapon?" I said, clarifying what I meant. I was fairly sure that she had heard me, I just hoped that I hadn't just made yet another enemy out of someone that it seemed that I'd be forced to work with. "We don't exactly have a schedule to keep, so I don't think we need to hurry or anything." I mused, treading water and waiting for her responce.
 
I didn't say anything. I had sworn to myself not to. He was leading this crazy thing. I shifted my body slightly, diving further below the water so my movement was no longer visable, but I still could be seen. My swimming was silent as well, as I had spent a lot of time, with little else to do, practiced swimming quickly but quietly.
 
I waited for a moment, wondering if she would surface to answer me. When she didn't, I decided that we might as well wait, and I began to tread water with my legs only, using my hands to make the noise I used earlier. I figured that we could at least pass the time talking, though what she would have to say to me, I honestly didn't know. I wasn't sure why her opinion seemed to matter to me, but that didn't change the fact that it did for some reason.
 
I heard the noice, and was already instintivly heading for the surface when I remembered, and stopped right below the surface, trying to shift so I could dive again. Keeping below the surface was no problem, getting deeper after I had chosen to surface was...
 
I waited, and hoped that shed come to the surface, though it didn't seem likely. I sighed, and began treading water with my hands again, deciding not to pressure her to surface. After all, I not only had the bruises, but the fear of what had happened last time to remind me of what would happen if I pushed her too hard. There was no way for me to keep her from taking the stick if we were in the water.
 
Seeing they had stopped, I decided they had finally waited for me. Diving into the water, I quickly found the tunnel back to the domain. Once I passed through into more familiar waters,I quickly find our under water house and enter it. Grabbing my Bow and Arrows, I quickly scribbel a message to my mom telling her where I was going before returning the the tunnel and passing through back to the lake. "OKay, now I'm ready." I say grimly, mentally readying myself for the unknown ahead.
 
I heard Ansem approach, and immediatly set off, reaching the island in a short amount of time. I knew ansem probably wasn't far behind, and as for Psycho, I could care less. I just wanted to get this over with so he'd leave me alone..
 
I stayed Close behind Tiamat, figuring she knew what we were going to do. Besides, I prefered to stay as far away from Rauru as possible. Something about him earlier seemed unsettling. He said that by looking at me I was half Gerudo. Which forced me to wonder: Who was my father? Was he a Gerudo like Rauru said?...
 
I was trying my best to keep up. Granted, I was no match for a zora, but I still managed to reach the island in a reasonable time. I waited, treading water as soon as I reached the island, and began breathing deeply before I tried to hold my breath. I had the feeling that I was about to be dunked, if not pulled down all the way to the temple...
 
"Ansem, both of us need to go underwater and find the entrance before we start hauling any air-breathers down." I said, before diving, ready to search. This was the easy part, getting Psycho down without bowing to the temptation to kill him would be difficult...
 
"It should be something near this island, but any more specific than that, I'm not sure." I said apologetically. Truth be told, I was sorry I couldn't help, it might have made Tiamat think slightly more of me, though I doubted it. I began preparing myself for anything, as the only way I could think of to be any help now, was to be ready when Tiamat decided to take me underneath the water.
 
I nodded and dove under. Almost immediately I saw a large iron gate at the base of hte island. If Rauru had anything right, there was definitely a temple here. But I didn't see any switches or buttons to open teh gate. Suddenly a glint of light caught my attention, and I noticed a sapphire imbedded in the rock above the entry way. I swim closer and touch it experimentally, and it suddenly uproots from it's position and floats to the surface. As it does, the gate below me begins to steadily clank open.
 
After a few minutes of searching, I finally found a gate leading into the temple. Unfortuantly, that moment a weird octopus thing decided to attack me, and anyone on the surface would have seen the thing flying into the air, followed by me slashing it into tiny bits before even hitting the water.
 
I couldn't help but grin at her antics but feel sorry for the octopus at the same time. I surfaced and located Rauru nearby. "The door is open." I informed him. "Whenever you're ready to go under, supposing Tiamat is still willing to take you." I say. "Is that little imp boy coming with?" I ask, calling him an IMp since I don't know his name.
 
I chuckled slightly at the fate of the octopus, before turning to Ansem. "I honestly don't know." I admitted, confused. Where had he gone? "I suppose that I'm ready, but I have no idea where Askan went." I said. This could become a problem fairly quickly unless we found him soon. I looked around, but to no avail. As far as I could tell, he had dissapeared.
 
I stayed silent, getting ready to haul Psycho to the entrance. This was the part I was going to hate for a long, LONG time. I figured Askan could catch up with that device he had managed to make out of leaves, but as Psycho had shown, my opinon didn't matter.
 
"Man, what took you guys so long?" I chuckled as I shot Rauru in the back of the head with a Deku Seed from the small Island positioned atop the lake. "I feel like I've been waiting for hours!"
I waded back into the water, until I had reached them, tieing the air pack to my back. "Can we go now?"
 
I sighed, once again ignoring the stinging pain from his sling. I swear, if he shot me one more time... "Fine," I said, trying to calm down "I'm ready if you all are, shall we?" This was it, I wasn't sure what we would find down there in the temple, but there was no turning back now. Our only option was to be prepared...
