Chapter 5: Curiosities and Hebzucht

0000

"What's this for?"

"Don't touch it."

"I asked what it's for."

"And I said don't touch it."

Heedless to her words, I poked it, and was quite startled when a little volt of light ran itself to my finger. I retracted my hand and the volt disappeared. I stared at my finger for a moment before looking back at the object.

"I said don't touch it, you foolish little creature!" she said, pushing me aside as she began petting the object and cooing to it as if it were alive. I watched her as her velvety hands stroked the object while little streams of light came up at her and caressed her in the same manner.

"What's it for?" I asked again.

"Nothing that you should be concerned about, Vincente…Isn't that right, baby? Yes…Yes, I know he hurt you, but it's okay…I'm here now…" she cooed, continuing to stroke the awkward looking…thing that was apparently alive.

She gave me a glare before walking back over behind a shelf full of books and objects, looking for what I'll never know. This gave me another chance to poke at the object, and I did so. It poked me back, and I let out a gleeful giggle. I began running my hands over it and little streams of light ran themselves over my pale hands. They tickled my palms and left behind trails of cold touches.

"Quit, by Vincente!"

"What for? I haven't done anything harmful to it." I muttered back, continuing to play with the streaming lights. The streams went down to a round, brown blob that I thought was an egg at first. It was quite dreadful in appearance, but the newly found lights added a strange beauty to it.

My hand was smacked away and the streams immediately disappeared back into the brown blob. I turned around and pouted at Medizinfrau, disappointed that I couldn't play with the toy any longer.

"It's not a toy, Vincente. It's a very rare, and I shan't have someone like you ruining it."

"Someone like me? Medizinfrau, I'm offended!" I said mockingly as I put a hand on my chest, though in truth my interest in the blob had heightened. "What's it fooooooooor? Tell me pleeeeeeeease?" I put my hands together and goggled my eyes at her, though she didn't seem to notice, and if she did, she didn't care.

"Shut up before I eat you."

I pursed my lips and continued to bustle about the clustered room until I got to the completely opposite side of where Medizinfrau was. Dusty old books were stacked on desks and things in pots were sitting on shelves. A small beam of light to my left caught my attention, and I waltzed over to it.

It was a bunch of pink Navi-things that were stuck in a glass jar. I flicked my finger at the glass, and each of the little orbs to retreat to the back of the bottle. I grinned evilly as I continued flicking the jar and they started flying all over the bottle and rammed into each other and into the glass itself.

"By Vincente, don't you ever stop? You're like a child!" I heard a muttered reply. I grinned and looked over my shoulder to see nothing, and realized she was probably still over by the brown blob. She was a mind reader, after all.

After a few more flicks the pink Navi-things disinterested me and I bent down lower to discover a cage full of bones and ashes. Apparently Medizinfrau forgot to feed something.

"Don't touch it, Vincente…"

That just made me want to touch the pile of ashes and bones even more. I did so, and was met with a loud shriek as the crumbled left-overs came to life. They melded together as muscle and flesh was pieced collectively like a puzzle, feathers developed, along with a beak, and crimson eyes popped into previously empty eye sockets. I let out a freakish, high-pitched giggle and squatted down in a more comfortable position as I watched the bird-like creature spread its wings. It let out a tremendous squawk and began kicking the barred cage with sharp talons.

I was so fascinated by the furious creature that I never realized Medizinfrau was behind me until I felt a sharp pull on the back of my head. She had seized my long ponytail and thrust me back by it, and I was sent sprawling backwards on my buttocks. I watched as she stepped forward and touched the enraged bird, causing it to immediately crumble back to bones and ashes. She didn't say anything as she walked back away towards the brown blob once again.

I leaned forward and protruded my finger, about to poke it again just to see the magnificent red feathers and the livid crimson eyes that bore into my very soul again. I grinned madly as my finger slowly went through the bars and was about to touch a bone, but was stalled by the hoarse voice of an old lady ruining my fun.

"Do you want to be eaten?"

I withdrew my hand and sat criss-cross with my hands shoved between my two thighs. I pouted as I stared at the dead skeleton.

"No." I muttered.

A loud sigh was the only reply that I got from the crazy old woman.

I sat there for a moment before sticking my tongue out and standing back up. I brushed my buttocks off with my bejeweled hands and mindlessly looked around for something that would prove interesting. Strange designs were painted on walls, and old cuffs from ages long past still hung on the ramparts.

"Medizinfrau, tell me a story." I suddenly said, and only just realized how childish the statement had sounded.

"A story about what, Vincente?" she replied, her hands still make shifting with the brown blob. She didn't seem to mind the childish statement.

I blinked at the nickname. "I don't know. Death. Pain. Agonizing torture. You know. The good stuff."

She let out a long, hoarse cackle like she did when I first met her, and the light streamers from the brown blob retracted slightly, almost in fear.

"Alright, Vincente. Come, come. Sit in the chair behind me. No need to stay standing there."

I grinned and did so, leaning forward in the creaking chair with childlike enthusiasm.

"Ohh, this story is an old tale, Vincente. Forgive me, as I might not be able to remember it all."

"'S okay!" I said, bouncing in the chair as I waited.

"By Vincente…It was a long, long time ago, in ages where gods ruled the lands. Just after the three Goddesses had created the land, the sea, and the sky. They created small creatures that grew into foul, deceitful beasts. Evolution…was in its highest peak. It was an age of death, wars, starvation, and poverty. There were 7 gods, though I can't recall their names, but they each had an evil whim to destroy things and cause devastation and pain. But there was one, by the name of-"

"I thought you couldn't recall their names."

"Shut up before I eat you. There was one by the name of Hebzucht, a sinful name indeed. And-"

"What does the name mean?"

"Let me tell the story, child!"

"I'm not a child!"

She simply grumbled and stayed quiet. I realized that story time was over.

Later that night (After shoving food down my pet's throat, of course), I snuck down to the dungeons. Or at least tried to. I didn't think it was necessary to do any shadow manipulation, but I was proved wrong a couple minutes after I had left my luxuriate room. I was caught by none other than Ruhe, whom liked taking nightly walks around the castle. He didn't say anything, and I hadn't heard his wet footsteps, but a hand that pulled on my hair was all that was needed to get my attention.

I stalled for a moment, thinking it was Meanie-Head, but was very much relieved to find out it was only one of his many pets. I put my finger to my lips to signify for him to be quiet, and he merely shut his eyes and gave me a small smile. I smiled back as I continued on my way, and was rather perturbed when I finally realized that Ruhe was following me. I turned around to confront him, but his wide, pink eyes made me change my mind about telling him to go away.

"Say a word about this and I'll have a new pretty zora skin hanging on my wall, understand?"

He smiled and nodded, his slanted eyes showing amusement. I smiled back playfully and started down the stairs towards where the lower demons and slaves lived. Ruhe tamely followed.

Medizinfrau was gone, perhaps asleep somewhere amongst all the things that she had come to own. Ruhe, this being the first time he'd been down here, was open-mouthed and looking around in awe. A pile of jewelry quickly caught his interest, and I was left scanning over books that I wanted to study. I grabbed a few that were in the back by the Navi-things and bird-bones, and I even stopped a moment to mess with the brown blob before finding another book. Ruhe stood admiring himself in a mirror with all his new gaudy jewelry, and I had to literally push him up the stairs with my arms full of books. Medizinfrau would be furious, but what could she do? She couldn't even come up the stairs, and being seen by Meanie-Head was a definite no-factor. Besides, this is really just "borrowing for a long period of time".

I plopped myself down on my extravagant bed as the books went flying from my arms onto the silken covers. My naked Fairy Queen, who was sitting in an ancient chair by the mirror, looked at me curiously before going back to brushing out her hair. Ruhe, still following, went over to her and was allowed the luxury to play with her long, cherry locks. Blue-Eyes was sitting up against the wall on my bed, his faultless frame being a perfect fit for some of the most expensive clothes I had. His cold, sapphire eyes stared down at the books.

"Do you see these, Pet? If you would like I could read some to you." I smiled at him, and offered one, but I got no response. My smile turned to a frown as I sighed and began reading it myself. Submissive things bothered me. He was much better when he protested against everything I did. Now he was just like my Fairy Queen, emotionless and submissive. She was strangely talkative, though. However, unlike my Fairy Queen, he had become a complete doll. He wouldn't move, he wouldn't respond, he wouldn't eat, and he even soiled himself. It's a good thing I have maids and slaves. A very, very good thing. If I didn't, Blue-Eyes would probably be down with the lower demons, being used as nothing more but a pleasure item.

"Master, may I ask what those books are for?" my Fairy Queen finally asked, getting impatient with the curiosity streaming through her head. Ruhe continued to braid her hair and completely ignored our conversation.

"I wish to study them, Pretty."

"May I ask where you retrieved them from?"

I stayed silent for a long while, before replying, "No, you may not. However, if you wish to know what they're about I'd be more than willing to tell you."

"Oh, please do." She responded breathlessly. She almost never got any gossip or anything interesting to talk about, and, with her natural womanliness, she was slowly becoming insane because of it.

"Things. Things I don't know about. The Triforce, how the world came to be, the Goddesses, ancient pasts, the magic that surrounds this very castle, medicines, and these…these "plants". The outside world, my Queen."

"But Master, you could have just asked me to tell you about the outside. I know much about it."

"No, Pretty, you couldn't have. Master Ganon doesn't want me to know about the outside. Have you ever noticed the heaviness around your throat?"

She brought a small, frail hand to her neck, "Yes…Yes, Master, I have. Why is it so?"

"If you said anything about the world to me he would kill you. Your neck would break and that would be the end of that. He puts the curse on all that are in the castle, even you, Ruhe."

Ruhe simply nodded in answer and began admiring the necklace my nude Queen was wearing about her neck. The beads and diamonds went all the way down to cover her large breasts, and looked rather well on her. We all stayed silent, though Ruhe was silently convincing my Queen to trade her necklace for one of the hip-chains he had found in Medizinfrau's dungeon.

Meanie-Head goes through large lengths to make sure I don't know anything about the outside world. And I want to know why…Agh.

I continued reading the book, becoming engrossed as I learned that the strange things in the pots in Medizinfrau's room were, indeed, plants from the outside world.

And I wanted one.
