Note- This story contains an OC. She isn't the main character. (You'll see him next chapter) :3
Katrina- 2nd wife of Bowser and mother to three of the koopalings (I'm not telling who). She is a brown female koopa with a stocky appearance and has black afro hair. Oddly enough she has bull-like horns like a "tiger monster"- Monster Rancher.
"Welcome to my crypt, curious ones!"
"I am the bookkeeper, I alone in my library(and my pet owl hooty) keep the tales of koopa history: Past, Present, and Future!"
The three curious brothers shook in terror at the sight of this dry bone. This dry bone unlike the other still had bits of flesh stuck to his bones, but unlike the other dry bones he wore a robe to hide his "condition".
"Don't just stand there take a seat, because you'll be down here for awhile, perhap as long as me." Laughed the old pile of bones.
The ancient dry bone rattled with laughter as dust from his bones spread across the room. The brothers: Morton, Roy, and B.J cough and hack from the ancient dry bone's dust. All three shook in fear of what this strange dry bone was going to do them.
"Thanks a lot for bringin' us dow 'ere, Morton. I was looking to die tonight."
"No problem, Roy!" smiled Morton.
"I'm too young to die!" cried B.J.
"I was not always not like this, I was once a young eager koopa troopa, who loved to please his young master with stories. My young master only liked happy stories with bunnies, clowns, and princesses but I prefered stories that were a lot more DARKER."
" Are you goin' to tell us a story or not, since you ain't going to kill us?" yawned Roy.
"LET'S HEAR A STORY WITH UNICORNS,A WORM IN A SUIT,BIGFOOT,AND A PRINCESS THAT KNOWS KUNG FU! I ALSO WANT TO HEAR A STORY ABOUT HOW….. BRR BLAH BERR…"
B.J covered his older mouth with his little hands. Even thought the youngest, he came in handle at times.
"I could tell you any story that you please, young masters : past,present, and future. The books on my shelf record the history of this very planet. However most of my stories only contain SOME parts that came or will come true in the future. I am not a fortune teller.
"Any story?"
"Any story about anything past,present, and future."
"Alright, how 'bout somethin' a little bloody?" said Roy.
The pages from the bookkeeper book begin to turn mysterious by itself….
" Aww!A koopaling after my own dark heart!" grinned the bones.
The dry bones picked up the dusty book and walked over to his favorite chair where his undead stuffed owl sat with glowing yellow eyes. The eyes of bookeeper turned red as he begun to tell the story.
The Perfect Meat
"How would you like your steak tonight, sugar, medium raw or charred to a crisp?"
A large hammer came slamming down on the bloody lifeless pound of meat. Cooking was the one of the few ways she could redirect her stress and shut Bowser up!
It was close to dinner time and Katrina always made sure Bowser's dinner was always cooked first before everyone else.
The large koopa king, sat in a large chair near by as he watched his 2nd wife pound the slab with a stronger pound each pound.
" You know Katrina I'm actually in a taste for something different. Meat I have not ever tasted before in my life." He licked his chops.
"Why did you wait until after I got the beef out? There is always my leftover rabbit stew if you don't want what I am cooking for ya right now."
"Bleech! That awful stuff? I'll rather eat a salad instead."
Bowser stuck out his tongue to express his digust to eatting as something as small and adorable as an average bunny-rabbit. It doesn't even have enough meat!
"I want meat that's fits for a Koopa King, no more beef, chicken, or pork!" Bowser stomped.
"Ya aren't getting nothing from me with that attitude!" hissed Katrina.
"IF I DON'T GET THAT MEAT, I'LL SEND YOU AND YOUR FAT BUTT TO THE DUNGEON!"
Katrina balled up her fists and squeezed them as hard as she could, her sister Clawdia was better at handling him when he got into one of his bratty moods but unfortuenly Clawdia was not the cooking type. So with both squeezed fists she grabbed her coat and weapons and slamed the kitchen back door with such force that shook the kitchen( that broke some random dishes and cups).
" CLEAN THIS UP WHEN YOU GET BACK! " shouted Bowser.
….
" Is anyone goin' to die soon…." groaned Roy.
"QUIET! Give the story time to develop….now where was I?" yelled the Book Keeper, whom hated to be interuppted.
…..
Katrina scoped the darkland forrest in search for the perfect meat, she had nothing in her hand but a rifle and a net.
…
"I didn't know momma was a redneck…." Said Morton.
"There is a lot you don't know about your momma" spoke the annoyed dry bones.
…
Katrina didn't really have much luck finding this "perfect meat" for her charming husband. Sure she was able to catch five rabbits, four quails, and a turkey but all that was meat he had before.
" Looks like I'm going to have to spend a week in the dungeon until Bowser gets hungry, but atleast I have my peace from that donkey of a koopa!" she said as she sat on a rotting log in the middle of the darkland forest.
The forest itself was not like any regular forest, it was constantly covered in complete fog and was as damp as a swamp. Animals appeared every now and then but mostly the laughter of crows could be here. If you hear the crows you are in Darkland Forest.
"Apples for sale! Apples for sale!" shouted a mysterious fiqure walking in the distance.
The voice of the fiqure was hard to distigunish at first due to the distace, but with each walk step, the voice sounded more "female".
"I have green apples, magic beans, red slippers, and other magic items!"
Katrina sat up from her seat of the log and was quite puzzled.
"What is a 'ittle gal like you doing in such dangerous woods?"
The mysterious girl (whom was in a red cloak) stopped and spoke to the tired koopa. Katrina couldn't get a good look in her face but she had the voice of an angel.
"Helping poor souls with their problems. In fact I have something special just for KING BOWSER." The girl smiled.
"Is that so? What is it poison or maybe a bear trap, because I could use both!" snorked Katrina. (How did she know I was looking for a special meat… she thought).
" Nope, I have the meat of the golden goose. There is no other meat just like it and only a number of golden geese are alive today. Only those of a pure heart can eat this meat."
The red cloaked girl pulled a large package wrapped in golden wrapping, and it a label it had the words "GOLDEN GOOSE: EAT WITH CAUTION". The girl handed the package to Katrina with no trouble with the weight, however the koopa nearly dropped the meat as it was placed into her claws( and she was known to be quite strong in her bounty hunter days!).
" I hope King Bowser enjoys his meat, and remember only…"
"Yeah, only the pure of heart/soul/spirit/hair can eat this meat, I got it princess."
Katrina held tight to the meat and walked in the direction towards the castle. She was relived that she found a meat so rare and tasty for the king, that she could have her peace of mind. The only one left in the clearing was the little girl who was not what she seemed.
" I hope that bastard chokes on his cursed meat!" she crackled.
In a flash of a smoke the innocent girl turned into a female magikoopa. A grunted female magikoopa. The koopa had dark brown hair and would be quite lovely if she didn't smear so much makeup on her face.
"Serve hims right for dumping me when we teenagers! Its not my fault I wasn't as buxom as the other koopa girls at that time. That JERK will pay!"
