Chapter 4! Dinner with the Wind Nuts!
Neri did as Vaati asked and met him in the dinner hall.
She squrimed uncomfortably in the white dress, muttering in dragon-speaking about how retarded and stupid she felt.
"Heard that." Vaati's voice echoed the halls as he walked in.
"You understood?" Neri asked with wide eyes.
"I did live with your mother." He rolled his eyes as he sat down.
Neri glared at her dad and walked out of the room.
"Your really are great with children." A sarcastic voiced sounded.
"Alright, this time I know I'm not just hearing things. Who the fuck are you?" Vaati shouted.
"You don't remember me?" a green hat hopped out from a dark corner.....what is this Halloween Town gone Zelda?
"Oh son of a bitch. You're not real. I'm probably passed out from that energy ball that Neri threw at me and this is all some crazy dream. You're long gone."
He crossed his arms firmly. "Besides, the curse was broken off of you."
"Yes well, while I'm around you it seems the spell lingers."
"...Why the hell would you be here, anyway?"
"Why the hell are you talking to a cap? Hey.....it looks a bird." Neri said, poking the hat.
He jumped at the sight of his daughter. "When did you get back in here?"
"I heard you shout so I thought I'd come to see if you finally snapped it."
"Quit poking me." The hat hopped a few feet away.
"Did...did a bird hat thing just talk?" Neri asked, blinking her large green eyes.
"I am the great sage, Ezlo."
"Oh get over yourself." Vaati rolled his eyes.
"Look who's talking." Ezlo shot back.
Vaati owned: 6
Neri looked between both of them.
"If I stay here any longer than I'll go crazy...." Neri muttered in dragon-speech.
"What did she say?" Ezlo asked.
"Why should I tell you?" Vaati glared.
"Still holding a grudge?"
"I don't forgive easily."
"...You two know each other?"
"Sadly, yes." Vaati sighed.
Neri narrowed her eyes at both of them, making them both shudder and then left the room.
Ezlo turned to Vaati and shuddered a bit more. "Your daughter reminds me of you."
"Good."
"I mean before you turned into a monster."
"That hurts, Ezlo, that really hurts." He faked mock pain.
"You haven't grown up much."
"I never was one for growing up."
"You're still the same old brat."
"Did you come to my palace to insult me or for me to just kill you?"
"Neither, although insulting you sounds tempting being the fact of all that you did."
"And you said I hold grudges."
"Not the point. I heard rumors that my old student had a kid and well I couldn't help myself....." Elzo said, looking down.
"Well you've cleared your suspion. So can you please leave?" Vaati asked, sighing.
"Nope. I'm going to stick around and insult you for little bit." Ezlo said, cackling at his own joke. Seriously.....that's corny. See this was why Vaati left when he got the chance.
"The real reason why you won't do me a favor and leave...?"
"I wouldn't want to see her grow up like you."
"Goodluck with that, you are the one that raised me."
"And everyday I regret that." Ezlo muttered.
Neri wandered back into the room looking a little nervous. She spotted a twisting hallway and furrowed her eyebrows. "Okay, maybe this place is creepier then him."
She wandered down into the hallway, and found herself in a dark basement that looked a lot like the Shadow Temple from Ocarina of Time, of course she didn't know this.
"Hello?" She called out.
A yipping noise alerted her and she ran towards it.
"Don't worry Lisat, I'll save you from the Hell Hounds...or something just as equally cliche that my unoriginal father created." Neri said, picking up her skirt so she wouldn't trip.
The yipping sound got louder as she ran towards a cell. There lying in the cell was a black, gray, and white spotted puppy, with bright red eyes.
"Grumpy, upstairs doesn't look like he'd keep a dog." She murmured as she walked towards the cell. She noticed a ring of pee next to it. "Hey buddy, have you seen my friend, Lisat?"
The puppy yipped.
"Lisat?"
Another yipe.
"That son of a bitch, first Link and now you? I'm going to fucking KILL him!" Neri yelled.
Lisat wagged his tail weakly. He looked very sick.
"Hang on Lisat. I'll get you out of there." Neri said.
"Not so fast, Neri." Vaati appeared from the shadows. "You really shouldn't be wandering around by yourself."
"You are a sick sadistic, you do realize that, right?" Neri shouted.
He ignored her.
"Look, we can work this out. What if you just let Lisat stay with me in the palace instead?" She suggested sweetly.
"....I'm listening."
"I'll feed him, wash him, and walk him. Oh and I'll take my training serious!"
"As long as he doesn't piss in the palace then you have a deal." Vaati said grudgingly.
Neri sighed, as Vaati opened the cell door.
"Aww, shit he pissed in here..." Vaati said, recoiling from the smell.
"You really do hate animals." Neri shook her head as she picked Lisat up. "Hey, how's it going Lisat?"
The puppy rolled its eyes.
"Yeah, I know."
"Well, come on. The sooner we get out of here, the better." Vaati tapped his foot impatiently.
