You Got Nailed!

Here is the prologue of "For Want of a Nail" altered slightly for humorous purposes. I haven't really done any humor pieces, so please bear with me. Tell me what you think.

A pillar of white light flashed onto a circular platform and disintegrates to reveal Folken and Hitomi on the middle of a metal disc.

"Where are we?" a startled Hitomi asks her tall companion.

"Disney World!!!"

"Everything is now in place," a gravelly voice says behind her. She turns away from Folken and looks up to locate the voice. Dornkirk continues, "All of the pieces have come to me. The time has come to use the full power of the Fate Alteration Engine. All is proceeding according to my will."

"Your will?" questions Folken.

"Yes," Dornkirk answers, "I guided fate so you would bring the girl from the Mystic Moon to me."

Folken's shocked face quickly turns to anger. "Just how far do you plan to toy with fate?!"

"A foolish question. You should know my true intentions," the emperor answered calmly.

Folken's eyes narrow as he says resolutely, "Then you should know what I'm determined to do."

"Yes. You've come to give me a sponge bath, correct?" No fear was evident in the old man's voice.

Hitomi is shocked and quickly turns to face Folken to see if what Dornkirk had said was true.

***

"Come, kill me. I am the only one here."

"Whoa Whoa WHOA! Hello you ego maniac! I'm here too!" shouts a very annoyed Hitomi, her arms crossed across her chest. The two men sweatdrop.

Folken pulled out his sword that had been resting on his left hip with his true hand and flapped his powerful black wings.

"Folken-san!" shouts Hitomi anxiously.

The metal plates around Emperor Dornkirk lift and separates in a cloud of steam. His cold laugh can be heard echoing in the immense chamber. In the veil of the steam he can be seen standing with his withered arms raised.

"Come, Folken!" he laughs mockingly, raising his arms past his shoulders.

A mask of rage slipped onto Folken's face. His eyebrows bunched, eyes narrowing into slits and screams, "Monster! Put your clothes back on!"

"Huh?"

"Geez, like anyone wants to see a two-hundred year old man naked. Shame on you! A lady is present!" Folken scolded.

Confusion was written across the old man's face, but he complied and had the sheets pulled back up around him.

"It's been many long years since I have been in the same room with the opposite sex," the emperor mumbles to himself.

That's it for messing around with the prologue… for now!
