Chapter 4

Zelgius stared blankly at the ceiling. He seemed as if in a daze until he heard a voice speak quietly next to him.

"That was amazing Zelgius. You must have had a lot of practice."

Zelgius simply shrugged, continuing to stare into space.

Well I'm not sure how many times I have made love with someone. I never kept track Petrina."

"Has every time been with different people?"

Yes, I have never been in an actual relationship…"

Petrina stared in his direction with a smirk on her face. She instantly let out a small laugh before nudging him on the shoulder.

"You're a man whore!"

Zelgius simply rolled his eyes at the statement and sat up in bed. The sheets rolled down his body, revealing him to Petrina. She stared and his toned back and the brand on his shoulder that marked him. Without thinking she reached up and trailed her fingers slowly down his back causing him to jump at the ticklish sensation. Petrina laughed at his reaction before moving up and planting a few kisses along his neck, causing him to let out a small moan.

"Petrina, have you not had enough?"

"Yes, I have but your body is just tempting me."

She then began sucking on his neck with all her force. Zelgius quickly moved to push her away, hearing a loud pop noise as she let go. As if knowing what to expect, he looked into the mirror to she a hickey on his neck.

"Petrina!"

She simply laughed at him as she reached up and playfully messed up his hair.

"Put a concoction on it or something. It will heal a little faster."

She jumped off of his bed and began to re dress herself before turning back in his direction.

"Well I'm off. Good luck hiding that thing.

Petrina left him as he looked at the hickey through the mirror. It was small, but still noticeable. He groaned as he began scanning through his things to look for something to hide it.

The dining room was filled with multiple people as they began eating. Some of them simply watched others eat while some just didn't come at all. Zelgius sat alone at the far edge of the dinning hall and didn't bother eating any breakfast. He held his neck as if pretending it was sore or something. He suddenly looked up as someone sat down next to him and began devouring their food like a pig. Somewhat amused, Zelgius decided to time the person for how long it took them to eat. In the end, he came up with fifthteen seconds. The person gave out a loud burp as the reached into the middle off the table to collect some more food. They finally noticed Zelgius watching them.

"Who are you and what do you want?"

Zelgius stared up at the person, finally realizing who the actually were.

"You are Bowser…correct?"

Bowser rolled his eyes at him before answering.

"Well duh! And you didn't answer my question. Also if you are watching me because you want my food, get your own!"

"I do not care for what you're eating. Also I am known as The Black Knight from the land of Tellius."

"Never heard of you or that place."

Zelgius watched as Bowser went back to his food and didn't know weather to be offended or embarrast at how unimportant he was to him, but he chose neither.

"I am not that famous. I know that much."

Bowser just looked at him as he stuffed his face again, his facial expression looking as if he was annoyed with Zelgius' presence, however it quickly went away.

"So, being a villain, what did you do?"

"I'm not a – I mean I tried to…um … destroy the land of Tellius because… because I hate all the other races there. My race is the only superior race."

Zelgius quickly began to think about the lie he was making and criticize it.

"Branded…a superior race? Am I an idiot?"

Bowser simply smiled as he wiped food from his face.

"Not half bad! You're still not as evil as me though."

"Don't you only kidnap Princess Peach because you want to marry her? That doesn't sound too evil to me. Also why wouldn't you simply ask her?"

"Come on! Look at me! Do you think she would say yes to this?

Zelgius shrugged.

"I guess not. Also, Mario doesn't seem like much of a threat to me. Really short actually."

"Rule number one newb, never underestimate the ability of a hero…"

"That seems a bit hypocritical for you Bowser since you always talk about how weak he is…"

"Leave me alone!"

Bowser began to pout as he turned away from Zelgius. Zelgius raised his eyebrow at the childish behavior that Bowser gave off before turning as his name was called out.

"Hey Zelgius!"

He looked up to see Ashnard approaching him.

"Why aren't you eating? The food is amazing here!"

"I know right?"

Ashnard turned towards Bowser with a rather confused look on his face.

"When did you two become acquainted?"

"Just a little while ago…why?"

Ashnard just shrugged before leaning slightly over the table.

"Anyway, eat something. You don't know what you're missing."

"I'm not very hungry right now…"

Ashnard watched as Zelgius shifted slightly as his arm began growing tired of covering his neck.

"What's wrong with your neck?"

"Oh nothing, I just slept strangely last night, that's all."

Ashnard curiously moved closer to Zelgius before speaking.

"Let me see it."

"Oh no thank you I'm fine…"

"Let me just snap it back into place for you."

"No Ashnard really."

"Just let me-"

Ashnard began fighting with Zelgius as he tried to move his hand from his neck. Bowser realized than Zelgius had been holding his neck for a while. He suddenly griped Zelgius' hand and easily pried it from his neck. Ashnard stared at the mark on his neck before an enormous grin grew across his face.

"Zelgius! What have you been up to?"

Bowser's jaw dropped, spilling the content from his mouth onto the table. Zelgius just sighed turning away from the two in slight embarrassment.

"Nothing…just leave it."

Ashnard laughed as he playfully nudged Zelgius on the shoulder.

"Who was it?"

"Ashnard please…"

"Tell me!"

"Leave it alone…"

"Zelgius!"

"Ashnard enough!"

"Zelgius? That's your real name?"

Zelgius turned to Bowser in annoyance since he wasn't in the mood for his stupidity.

"Yes…why"

"Well…it's a funny name!"

Bowser began to laugh as Zelgius simply shook his head and turned back towards Ashnard who had grow an even bigger smirk on his face.

"It was Petrina, wasn't it?"

"How can you be so sure?"

Ashnard's grin grew even bigger than Zelgius thought possible as he leaned over the table to whisper in his ear.

"I saw her go into your room with you last night. Not only that, but let's just say that Petrina isn't….the quietest one when it comes to sex."

Zelgius groaned as he realized that the secret was out at that point.

"I told her that she would wake the entire house up if she kept being that loud numerous times…"

At that point both Bowser and Ashnard were bursting into laughter.

"I heard it too but I didn't think that it was you in there with her! That bed sounded like it was gonna snap!

Zelgius glared at Bowser as a slight blush began to for on his face.

"She should have been quieter"

"Oh please Zelgius! You know that you loved the way she screamed as you rammed her!"

Zelgius face-palmed as his face now grew as red as his cape.

"Okay enough! Let us leave the subject."

Ashnard calmed his laughter with a long sigh before patting Zelgius on the back.

"Okay fine. I guess this is where I leave you two."

Bowser waved as Zelgius just watched him go, thinking back to before his death. Ashnard and Petrina weren't friendly to him like they are now. So what was the point? Zelgius' thoughts were cut off as he heard Bowser ask him question.

"So how long have you been in the organization?"

Zelgius' mind shot back to what was happening right at the moment.

"I'm here…against my own will. But I'm not a villain, am I?"

"Uh…Zelgius?"

Zelgius shook his head trying to get it out of the clouds. He turned towards Bowser to say something but was cut off as an announcement came on the speakers.

"Everyone report to the auditorium after breakfast. I repeat, everyone return to the auditorium after breakfast."

Bowser stared up at the speakers then looked at Zelgius with an excited look on his face.

"Yes another speech! What do you think he'll say this time?"

After Zelgius said nothing and stared blankly at the wall, Bowser just sighed.

"Well, I'm off. Don't be late!"

As Bowser left to enter the auditorium, Zelgius began drifting off into his mind again.

"What does Ganondorf want with us? He's only tried to capture Hyrule so what now? World domination? Somehow…just somehow I think this doesn't have to do with ruling the world…"

Zelgius stood up and turned towards the auditorium. He had no choice but to go there to find out what the plan was. He walked briskly with mixed emotions of anger, confusion, and fear for what he would hear.
